Chapter 172: Four Big Families Playing Mahjong
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheng Mu had heard about Principal Xu from Lu Zhaoying and the rest.
But he had never seen him at the school doctor’s office before. He had seen way too many big shots in Yun Cheng recently and was a little immune to it after the initial shock. “Who are you looking for?”
Master Juan or Young Master Lu?
The Lu family and the Xu family were on neutral terms. Rather, it was the Cheng family who had more dealings with the Xus.
The door was open and Principal Xu could see Qin Ran from outside.
Principal Xu turned his gaze back to Cheng Mu. “I’m looking for Qin Ran.”
Miss Qin?
Cheng Mu was a little surprised.
“Miss Qin, Principal Xu is outside. He asked for you.” He went back in and told Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was holding onto the black bag that Yang Fei handed her. Upon hearing that, she put it down.
Qin Ran walked out, leaving Cheng Mu slightly confused.
He watched as she headed for the door.
“Young Master Xu,” he said in a hushed tone, “is Principal Xu very close to Miss Qin? What’s he looking for her for?”
Lu Zhaoying placed a bottle of medicine into the glass cabinet and turned around. “Is he taking her in as a disciple too?”
He remembered Principal Xu talking about finding a successor.
His hands slowed down in their movements.
“… Are you being serious?” Cheng Mu poured a cup of water.
Master Wei was imparting a skill, but it was different for Principal Xu. It was more than a skill. His one choice could mean huge changes for the Xu family and even for the capital.
So many people in the capital were watching. If he really chose Qin Ran for the job, the capital would be in chaos.
Lu Zhaoying classified the medicine and then placed the stock list on the table. He glanced at Cheng Juan and began thinking about the probability of it happening.

In the courtyard.
Qin Ran couldn’t help but give a light cough, as Principal Xu had been staring at her for far too long. The wind was pretty strong outside and she had to put her hood up. “Principal Xu, you’re looking for me?”
“Mm.” Principal Xu nodded, his eyes still on her. “I heard you had an apprenticeship banquet last night?”
“I did.” Qin Ran was a little stunned.
She hadn’t told Principal Xu about it.
Qin Ran didn’t say much about Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying when she found that Chen Shulan informed them about it. But Principal Xu was different.
His appearance would change the whole dynamic of the event.
Principal Xu went silent for a while. “That teacher must be Wei Lin. You rejected me the last time because you said you didn’t want to go to the capital. You’ve changed your mind now?”
Qin Ran was looking down at her shoes and did not say much.
Principal Xu did not wait for her answer as he asked again, “Do you have something against me?”
