Even if she didnât tell him, he could still conclude what had happened.
Gu Yusheng turned to look around at the deanâs office, wanting to address the student dean first. He said to Qin Zhiâai in a low voice, âIâm sorry I got here late. Iâm sorry Iâm responsible for you having to go through this.â
He said it twice, but she didnât respond either time, while everyone else in the room looked shocked at what he had said.
Gu Yusheng was not surprised by her silence; instead, he felt bad when he saw the sad look on her face. He gently winked at her and put a small smile on his face, saying in a low voice again, âCan you wait for me here? I need to go in there to handle this first.â
Gu Yusheng stood there for a moment looking at Qin Zhiâai and then turned around to nod at the men who had accompanied him. He headed toward the deanâs office door, and they all followed him when he walked into the office.
Qin Zhiâaiâs eyes followed Gu Yusheng through the door and then through the bank of windows looking into the deanâs office. She saw Gu Yusheng properly greet her mother and then her little brother; however, he appeared shocked when he saw Qin Jiayan.
The men who had followed Gu Yusheng were also very polite to Qin Zhiâaiâs mother and Qin Jiayan when they saw how respectfully Gu Yusheng had greeted them.
Qin Zhiâai had no idea what they talked about in the deanâs office, but when Gu Yusheng walked her mom and Qin Jiayan out of the office, a teacher walked out with them.
After he closed the office door behind him, the teacher asked Qin Zhiâai, her mother, and Qin Jiayan to stay in a waiting room next door, and then he poured water for them.
Qin Zhiâaiâs mother had always held a high regard for teachers, so when this teacher was suddenly exceedingly nice, it made her nervous.
When he stepped out for a second, Qin Zhiâaiâs mother whispered to Qin Zhiâai with an anxious look on her face, âXiaoâai, who is that guy? He looks very important. That dean was so arrogant, but when that man brought in that group of people into the office, he immediately lost his attitude. I think there was a principal or a superintendent in that group, and that man also must hold a high position.â
Qin Zhiâaiâs mother hadnât explained everything correctly, so Qin Jiayan sat down next to her with an angry look on his face and jumped in to say, âHeâs the district superintendent.â
Qin Zhiâaiâs mother immediately nodded to agree. âYes, youâre right.â
Qin Zhiâai didnât understand anything that was happening, so she was helpless to explain to her mother and brother her perspective of what was going on. So, she only said, âHeâs my former boss.â
...
Qin Zhiâai had no details about how Gu Yusheng had approached the student dean, since she was not in the office with them. She only knew that Gu Yusheng and the others had walked in and out of the deanâs office in less than 10 minutes.
Two men from the group followed Gu Yusheng and Xiaowang into the waiting room and immediately smiled brightly at Qin Zhiâai without Gu Yusheng or Xiaowang introducing them. One of them said, âMiss Qin, we are so sorry for what happened. It was our mistake.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The other added, âYes, this was our mistake. We have finished our investigation and determined that Qin Jiayan did not cheat on the test. We will discuss a way to make up this misunderstanding with him.â
