Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Endless Retaliation

"Teacher Bai, what a coincidence that you’re also eating here. I’m hosting a lunch for friends today. Why don’t you join us and show them the grace of our town’s beautiful teacher?"

The man, with a potbelly, reached out sleazily to grab Bai Xue’s slender arm but she skillfully avoided him. "Principal Lu, I don’t drink, and I’m here dining with friends, so it’s really not convenient."

"Teacher Bai, you’re really embarrassing me here, it’s just a drink, it won’t kill you!"

Principal Lu, sensing Bai Xue’s resistance, immediately put on a stern face. "This is the organization trusting you, a necessity for your job. You can’t be timid. Don’t forget, your official appointment still hasn’t been resolved; you’re only temporarily allocated. Don’t you want to sort it out soon?"

"Principal Lu, my official position should depend on my experience and teaching ability. I’m not a bar girl. Since when does accompanying someone for drinks fall within official duties?"

Bai Xue argued vehemently, staring at Principal Lu. The man was taking advantage of his position as vice principal, always lording it over others. No female teacher in the school wasn’t annoyed by him.

"What are you saying? Are business dinners not work-related? The people sitting here include leaders from the City Education Bureau. As a young teacher, you should naturally be at the forefront. What’s wrong with that? Comrade, you mustn’t waste the leaders’ efforts in nurturing you. I’m even giving you the chance to propose a toast. Otherwise, once Mr. Zhu arrives, you won’t have a chance."

Principal Lu’s face darkened, his words carrying an implicit threat. Lin Fan frowned, surprised to hear Zhu Zhixuan’s situation involved too. This couldn’t just be left at that.

"Let someone else go then, I don’t care. If that doesn’t work, I can have my husband come and toast."

Bai Xue stood her ground, bringing up her husband which visibly deflated Principal Lu’s arrogance a bit. Though her husband wasn’t a top leader, he was still part of the town’s leadership.

"Forget it, I tried to offer you a chance to shine and you didn’t seize it; don’t blame me for not supporting you later."
