Nervous to Meet the Principal!

During the afternoon class, several students were missing from Class 4 of Grade 3 again.

In the teaching building's offices, teachers who weren't teaching sat quietly at their desks, occasionally glancing curiously in the direction of Director Gene.

Yu Xing and Qu Xuanqing were honored to be absent from class. They stood in a row with several students wearing red armbands, as if they were being punished, in front of Director Gene.

"... Why are there so many things happening lately?" Director Gene was starting to question his existence. Ever since the transfer student arrived, his teaching area hadn't had a single day of normalcy.

All the classes in the corridor were in session. Director Gene had already learned about the events from the group of students in front of him, especially regarding Roy —he was very reluctant to suspect this good-looking student who was also favored by the school doctor, who was also the Psychology Teacher, as the next prospective faculty member.

The incident at noon today caused quite a stir. A first-grade girl wearing a red armband approached him and said that one of the cafeteria cooks had killed several other cooks, which greatly shocked him.

Then the girl said that someone named Roy had given him a clue, and Director Gene's head started to ache.

Roy again?

However, after asking for more details, he breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that the focus of the matter was not on Roy. Roy was just an eyewitness who had been standing in front of the window the whole time and was being watched by many eyes.

Another incident, seemingly ordinary, revealed a hint of trouble. It was said that the red armband had caught another female student who wasn't eating properly. However, when she was brought before him, the female student remained calm and insisted that she hadn't done anything and had simply been wrongly accused by the red armband.

Director Gene also remembered the female transfer student. She was very talented and had often helped with small tasks since transferring. She also expressed interest in becoming a new Red Armband student.

Qu Xuanqing filed her complaint with a strong sense of justice.

After all, she had ample evidence to prove that she hadn't hidden anything.

So she turned the tables and began to accuse the students wearing red armbands who were slandering her of not contributing to the school, but rather causing trouble for the teacher because of their vanity.

She said she bought food from the window selling food from the "Fallen Bird" stall today, and it was impossible for someone's fingers to be hidden in it. After the search by the red-armband-wearing men, they indeed found nothing on her.

The red armband members were furious. They even mentioned Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai, who had provided the clues. How could these two have left any evidence? They innocently told Director Gene that they were eating properly when these red armband members suddenly came over and forcibly questioned them, arresting their classmates on their own.

With so many people in the cafeteria who could serve as witnesses, Director Gene, after understanding the situation, allowed Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai to return to class.

The office is bustling with activity right now.

On one side is the Red Armband member who is gradually realizing that she has gone too far with her arrogance, and on the other side is Qu Xuanqing, who is unforgiving and wants to make things worse.

On one side is Yu Xing, who reported the chef for violating school rules, and on the other is Ji Jingyi the message.

Yu Xing also testified for Qu Xuanqing, saying that he noticed something was wrong with the chef and was observing him when these red-armbanded people came over and asked him where Elizabeth was.

Seven cooks died in the cafeteria within one lunch break. This was a very serious matter, and if it wasn't dealt with promptly, it could affect the food supply starting tomorrow. The cook at the window where the bird fell did indeed leave her post and go to the kitchen corridor when the incident occurred. As a result, Director Gene punished her first, and she didn't come to the office because she couldn't leave the cafeteria.

But everyone could see her resentment towards Yu Xing. The female chef, who would never normally get angry, screamed and cursed maniacally, "Roy! You're the one who ruined me! Why did you do this? I'll dismember you! I'll turn you into the worst dish ever!"

In response, right under everyone's noses, Yu Xing said innocently and aggrievedly, "Actually, I didn't report you. It was clearly the red armband officer who contacted the teacher. I just accidentally shouted it out when I saw you killing your colleague. Don't curse me; you should curse the person who reported you."

"I didn't kill them! You're lying!"

The female chef had indeed bitten her blood-red lips until they bled, but the sentence sounded so familiar that the teachers in the office could recall the last Physics Teacher using almost the same phrase when making a sophistry.

"That's not funny." Yu Xing, who had been hiding behind Director Gene, gradually grew more and more upset. "Didn't you say things like, 'Wouldn't it be great if something happened to the chef next door? You'd be so happy,' and then it was like you suddenly made a decision, walked through the kitchen corridor to the next room, and killed that chef..."

"If you didn't kill him, who did?" Yu Xing pointed to his nose in disbelief. "The last person who framed me at least lied when I didn't have an alibi. This time, I was standing right in front of everyone. You're not still trying to say I did it, are you?"

The female chef was absolutely furious.

She didn't know who this student's so-called "previous" was, and of course, she couldn't figure out who had killed the other chefs, because this student named Roy was indeed incapable of carrying out the killings.

But that's how rhetoric works; if she can't refute one issue, others won't believe her rebuttals of the other issues.

"And you even boasted to me that after killing one, you felt much stronger, and that this feeling was addictive, comparable to the most delicious food!" Yu Xing even added fuel to the fire, making things up out of thin air, but what he said were all facts he had deduced. Director Gene, who knew about the power connections between the chefs, became more and more convinced.

So now, he sighed in his office. On one hand, he felt that Roy was like a plague god, causing trouble wherever he went. On the other hand, he also felt that it was Roy's presence that allowed these things to be stopped and discovered in time.

In the end, Yu Xing was still praised.

Qu Xuanqing, having been wrongly accused and possessing the qualifications she had cultivated from day one to be a suitable red armband wearer, replaced the leader of the red armband wearers who had slandered her. In a state where she was not completely brainwashed, she pinned the red armband to the sleeve of her school uniform.

It's impossible for any fully brainwashed red armband wearers to exist now, because the Doctor who could do that have already been sent out, and it was for this reason that Director Gene made an exception.

Once the office quieted down, Director Gene only asked Yu Xing to stay behind, and with mixed feelings, he inquired about more information related to the female chef.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Xing said seemingly casually, "With so many things happening, are there some matters that can only be handled by the Principal? I haven't seen the Principal since I transferred to St. Johnis Middle School. Where is he?"

"Sigh... you're right, we need to notify the Principal and have him come back early to clean up this mess." Director Gene sighed heavily. "For one thing, we need to find a few more chefs, otherwise the cafeteria won't be able to operate normally tomorrow... my salary will definitely be docked."

"The Principal will be back in a day?" Yu Xing's eyes widened in surprise. "The distance is so short, why does it take so many days?"

"It's alright to tell you. It's not that the distance is short, it's just that the Principal is very capable. If he really wants to come back, he'll be back soon." Director Gene rubbed his chubby face and pressed his temples. "The Principal said he went to participate in the preliminary work for an auction. If I tell him to come back early now, it will probably disrupt his work schedule, and I'll definitely get a scolding."

He looked at Yu Xing: "And then there's the school doctor thing, sigh, what a disaster. Luckily you're here; recommending a new employee is probably the only thing that can make him happy."

"I'm honored!" Yu Xing immediately stood up straight, displaying her respect like a soldier in training. "Wow, I guess I'll get to see the Principal again? I'm so nervous!"

He was so nervous! Seeing the Principal meant he could finally steal something from the Principal's office!
