Chapter 729: Chapter 729

Director Zhou was completely captivated by Xiao Lan, to the point where even Guo Lan, who was by her side, seemed to pale in comparison at that moment.

When he heard Xu Hao's question, he answered without turning his head, "I am, after all, the dean of The Eighth Elementary School. I know quite a few parents who are powerful and wealthy. What's wrong with helping Teacher Guo find a job? But, miss, may I ask your name, and would you be interested in teaching at our school? You're so pretty, with a heart as pure as an orchid—I'm sure you'd love to teach those adorable children, right?"

All the while he spoke, he never took his eyes off Xiao Lan's face.

Xiao Lan glared at him in utter disgust, thinking how could this man be so lacking in manners, and he's a school director?

Doesn't he have any breeding?

Doesn't he know that staring at a girl like that is incredibly rude?

Xu Hao spoke in a chilly voice, "Zhou, if you dare look at Xiao Lan again, believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyes."

Only then did Director Zhou turn his head, sneering as he did so, "Hmph! You've been picking on me since I walked in. Who the hell do you think you are?"

However, when he saw Xu Hao, he was suddenly stunned.

His mouth hung wide open, appearing big enough to fit an apple, his body shook uncontrollably, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he said with a trembling voice, "Xu... Young Master Xu, what brings you here?"

Xu Hao scoffed, "What, I can't be here?"

"No... no, of course, you can. Your presence is an honor to this place. I'm very pleased to have you here..." Director Zhou said cautiously, carefully choosing his words.

Yet Sun Meihe spoke coldly, "Director, why are you so respectful to Xu Hao? Isn't he done for? The Wu Family is suppressing him now. He's nothing but a cricket after autumn, not able to jump around much longer."

Director Zhou slapped Sun Meihe across the face without a hint of mercy, huffing, "Sun Meihe, shut your mouth. Young Master Xu is not someone you can afford to provoke!"

He flashed a sycophantic smile at Xu Hao, "Young Master Xu, I apologize for my subordinate's ignorance. I'll take care of her and make sure she behaves."

Xu Hao spoke with a sardonic smile, "Director Zhou, why are you so scared of me? Logically, you shouldn't be afraid of me, considering you even dared to fire my people."

Director Zhou quickly responded with a flattering laugh, "Young Master Xu, you misunderstand. The day before yesterday, I was blinded by stupidity and made a wrong decision. Actually, I came here today to apologize to Teacher Guo."

With that, he immediately turned to Guo Lan and bowed, "Teacher Guo, I'd like to offer my sincere apologies. Due to my own mistake the day before yesterday, you lost your job at The Eighth Elementary School. I was so wrong. I would like to invite you to return to The Eighth Elementary School, if you would be willing?"

Guo Lan remained silent, looking towards Xu Hao.

Before Xu Hao could react, Sun Meihe suddenly became restless. If Guo Lan returned, wouldn't her beloved Crooked Fruit once again fall for Guo Lan?

Wouldn't that mean she'd be the one getting dumped?

Overwhelmed with anger, she burst out, "Zhou, what on earth do you mean by this? Last night when you slept with me, you said there was no way Guo Lan could ever come back! How come you've suddenly changed your tune now?"

The English teacher Sun Meihe had slept with Director Zhou!

This news instantly stunned everyone present, even Xu Hao, who was somewhat taken aback. How could Director Zhou go for someone like Sun Meihe?

Is he really that desperate?

He really is shameless! Thi^s ch+apt#er+'@s t*r-ue so$u$rc&e- is My Vi^r%t!ual Lib^rary Em%pi!r@e (&*&).-

Director Zhou, noticing the suggestive looks from everyone, immediately started to explain in a panic, "Everyone has got it wrong. There's nothing between English teacher Sun Meihe and me; she's making it all up! How could I ever be interested in her?"

But, for some reason, Sun Meihe, as if gone mad, immediately retorted, "Don't you dare try to deny it, Zhou. You said yourself, even though my face may not be the prettiest, my advantage is my figure, and that in the dark, under the covers, it's all the same!"

Her words once again shocked everyone.

Even Xu Hao gave Director Zhou a thumbs up.

That is a true wolf in sheep's clothing!

Director Zhou, having his lies exposed and being reminded of his own past words, instantly turned ashen-faced. He never expected Sun Meihe to be so ruthless, spilling all the beans and leaving him nowhere to hide.

He covered Sun Meihe's mouth and hissed, "Stop your nonsense. If I'm going down, you're not getting out of this either!"

Sun Meihe was instantly startled. She sensed an endless murderous intent in Zhou's words, all aimed at her, causing her whole body to shiver uncontrollably as if she had encountered something utterly terrifying.
