Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence (Third Update)

The principal's room was large and well-lit; upon entering, one could see an extremely heavy portrait of the principal.

There was a table and a very large swivel chair.

Su Qi only remembered visiting the principal's office when she entered elementary school.

Looking at the bright room made Su Qi relax a bit.

"Come in!" Lin Sidong opened the door to the principal's office and said to Su Qi outside.

Su Qi walked in slowly, a little nervously stepping into her black leather shoes.

Seeing how nervous Su Qi was, the principal opened the outer door to make Su Qi feel safer, but Su Qi was still extremely nervous.

Principal Lin Sidong's mood was very complicated because Su Qi's image was completely different from what he had imagined. Especially when he was in the elevator just now, the little girl acted as if she was facing a great enemy the moment he moved slightly.

Now, she is standing obediently at the door, her two hands clasped together, intently looking down at her shoes.

Feeling the gaze directed at her by Principal Lin Sidong, Su Qi trembled even more.

As the principal, Lin Sidong has studied students of all ages. Su Qi's excessive nervousness at this moment is a typical example of a primary school student feeling guilty after making their first mistake.

Lin Sidong has also studied this situation, knowing that life experiences make a person more mature. Some might say, shouldn't one become more mature with age?

Actually, this is a misconception. It's because as people age, they experience more and more things, which makes them more mature and stable.

Take the current incident of meeting the principal as an example. Su Qi, who has never made a mistake at the age of 18, may not be as composed as an 8-year-old child whose parents are called in every week.

Lin Sidong immediately realized that Su Qi's nervousness stemmed from her complete lack of experience with punishment...

This judgment surprised Lin Sidong even more. He had checked Su Qi's information and found that she was even going to school dressed as a girl, which meant she must have had a falling out with her family! Even if she thought that "talking to someone" was commonplace, she shouldn't be so flustered!

Looking at Su Qi with even greater confusion, was she pretending?

Su Qi also felt the principal's scrutiny, and standing by the coffee table, she became even more nervous! Lin Si was watching as her clasped hands trembled slightly. It didn't seem like she was faking it!

Helpless, he had no choice but to put away his silent demeanor, the kind he used to deal with unruly children, and put on a smiling face instead.

"Su Qi, please sit down!" Hearing the principal's voice less somber made Su Qi feel a little more at ease. "Okay."

Su Qi carefully touched a single sofa and slowly sat down.

Watching her cautious demeanor and the way she moved further away from him, Lin Sidong wondered for the first time if he was really that scary.

Wasn't he hailed as the most handsome school principal? How come he's no longer effective in front of this guy?

If Su Qi could hear his inner thoughts, she would definitely say, "Because you are the principal and I am a student!"

Su Qi lowered her head, but secretly glanced at the principal out of the corner of her eye.

Principal Lin Sidong looked at Su Qi's actions with some helplessness. "There are only two people in this room. Do you think I wouldn't notice?"

However, he didn't point it out. Su Qi was timid these days, and he was afraid that if he did, she would burst into tears, ruining his reputation.

For the first time, Lin Sidong felt a sharp headache. Five minutes had passed, and the two of them had only exchanged two sentences.

He had actually considered forcing the truth out of her. Based on his understanding of Su Qi, the student in front of him, he was certain she would tell the truth. However, she would likely be frightened and might miss many details.

In order to get the most comprehensive reason for the girl's cross-dressing, he was now thinking about how to calm down this timid female student.

First, pour yourself a glass of water!

Lin Sidong stood up. He was wearing a suit and was quite tall. As soon as he moved, Su Qi stood up first.

"Let me pour you a glass of water!"

Lin Sidong was somewhat devastated. Why did such a cute and adorable little girl have to live in the boys' dormitory?!

He simply couldn't imagine how Su Qi, with such a strong mentality, managed to fool everyone for so long!

Su Qi looked at the principal pouring her water, and a sense of unreality washed over her. She was genuinely shocked, because Zijin had said the management might want to speak with her—and why her own principal?!

Are they really going to fire me?

While pouring water, Lin Sidong remembered that Teacher Liu Li had mentioned that this girl loved to eat snacks. After thinking for a moment, he took out the milk tea that his daughter loved to drink, and also took out a milk cup.

Su Qi was somewhat stunned when the principal brought over a cup of milk tea.

"Try it, my daughter loves this too." Lin Sidong pushed the milk tea towards Su Qi.

Su Qi felt somewhat flattered, but still held it in her hand and took a sip under the principal's watchful gaze.

The sweet and sour strawberry flavor and warm aroma gradually relaxed her nerves.

The principal saw that Su Qi had finally leaned back on the sofa, visibly relaxing, and her facial expression showed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the questioning could begin soon.

After drinking a cup of strawberry milk tea, Su Qi gradually came to terms with it; the worst-case scenario was simply being fired.

If it's really a done deal to fire her, then whatever I say now will be wrong!

Besides, Wang Zijin had already informed her beforehand and assigned her to the same dormitory as An Ning and Zijin. Thinking about it this way, Su Qi felt that it wasn't as scary as it had been before!

Just then, the system spoke up, reminding you. "It is recommended that you simply hand over the Medical Record to him. This person has an IQ of 6.2 and an EQ of 6. He is prone to making self-associations. Although you can outsmart him intellectually, the more you talk about his EQ, the more flaws you will reveal!"

Hearing the system's words, Su Qi was a little stunned and asked the system in her mind.

Isn't emotional intelligence a part of intellectual intelligence?

"You humans explain this by saying that emotional intelligence (EQ) and intellectual intelligence (IQ) are independent and not entirely opposed! You should know that IQ depends on genetic factors, while EQ is influenced by the social environment and human factors after birth!"

Upon hearing the system's words, Su Qi subconsciously asked, "Then what's my EQ? My IQ is 7, so my EQ should be at least 6!"

"Given that Suku was autistic as a child and did not receive enough love, her emotional intelligence score is 3.5."

Su Qi frowned, feeling that the score was a bit low, but she also knew that she was indeed lacking in interpersonal skills.

"So, is my current value high or low?" Since there was only one value from Principal Lin Sidong as a reference, Su Qi couldn't make a comparison.

"Su Qi is currently a giant in terms of IQ and an idiot in terms of EQ!" Upon hearing the system's words, Su Qi felt that this System Girl was taking revenge for someone else.

However, no matter what she said after that, the system did not respond.

Principal Lin Sidong watched as Su Qi, who had finished her milk tea, showed absolutely no sign of nervousness. He found this to be nothing short of miraculous.

No wonder his daughter loves it; after returning home, he decided to buy some for his wife, the "tiger mom."

Of course, he hadn't forgotten his main business, and slowly said, "Now let's talk about your 'cross-dressing' to enroll in school!"
