Wang Lingbo had been the principal of Tianyi High School for seven years.

In the past few years, he had been desperately trying to improve the school, and he had aspirations to achieve results.

However, it hadn't been fruitful. Tianyi High School was still ranked in the middle and lower ranks in the entire province.

Of the 306 high schools in the province, Tianyi High School was only ranked around 100th.

This time, Tianyi High School produced Li Chengqian, who got first place in the entire province, and he even got a perfect score of 750 marks.

For this alone, Tianyi High School would become famous throughout the province.

All the schools would remember Tianyi High School because of this.

As long as Li Chengqian excelled in the official university entrance examination and scored full marks, Tianyi High School's ranking would rise by at least 30 places!

He could also use this opportunity to advance his career.

Therefore, when he heard Chen Qingquan say that he wanted to expel Li Chengqian, he hit the roof.

Expelling Li Chengqian was in effect destroying Wang Lingbo's career path.

"Principal, why are you here?" Seeing Wang Lingbo walk in, a trace of panic flashed across Chen Qingquan's eyes.

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't even know that you fired Li Chengqian." Wang Lingbo didn't hide his anger. His voice was trembling.

"Director Chen, do you know what you're doing?" Wang Lingbo's voice was terrifyingly cold. He was questioning Chen Qingquan.

Before Chen Qingquan could explain, he spoke again. "Li Chengqian scored full marks for the second mock exam. He came in first in the entire province!"

"Chen Qingquan, are you going to expel the number one in the province?" Wang Lingbo roared, not giving Chen Qingquan any face.

"What? Number one in the province? Full marks! How is this possible..." Chen Qingquan was instantly stunned as he looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.

Right on the heels of that, he understood why Wang Lingbo was so angry!

Then, he realized the seriousness of the matter. On a micro level, he was abusing his power!

On a macro level, he was undermining Tianyi High School and Wang Lingbo.

His face went pale.

The arrogance that he displayed to Li Chengqian and his mother earlier instantly disappeared without a trace. There was an embarrassed smile on his face as he hurriedly found an excuse for himself. "Principal, it's a misunderstanding. I was just saying. How could I possibly expel Li Chengqian?"

"He privately called the police and violated the school rules. I just wanted him to realize the seriousness of the matter." With a change of tone, he pushed all the blame onto Li Chengqian.

"Director Chen, I know what's going on."

"You are suspended for two months! Reflect on yourself!" Wang Lingbo said coldly.

Chen Qingquan's face fell. He cursed Liu Wendao in his heart. "Liu Wendao, that bastard, is so immoral. He actually lied to me and said that Li Chengqian only scored 280 points in the last exam, causing me to be punished."

If he had known that Li Chengqian scored 750 points on this exam, he would absolutely not use such an attitude and tone to speak to Li Chengqian.

After Wang Lingbo finished scolding, the expression on his face became more approachable. He turned to look at Li Chengqian and Chen Li and said apologetically, "You should be Li Chengqian's parents? I'm really sorry that something like this happened."
