Chapter 19  : School Administration Meeting

Although Ding Rong and Ding Chen were heavily guarded against Si Huan, after Si Huan expressed that he wanted to invest in Huo Tian’s robotic arm project, they were completely unable to stop the two of them from interacting in the future.

After all, Old Zhu was just an ordinary rich man. The company that he, Ding Chen, and Huo Tian worked together to set up wasn’t big either. In the beginning, they only wanted to register patents for all the technology in Huo Tian’s hands and focus their business on managing patents. However, after Si Huan learned about their simple business, he expressed his interest to invest.

Si Huan had the backing from his entire family business. He proposed to commercialize Huo Tian’s patent directly. This way, the company’s equity structure would undergo a huge change. Si Huan would become the largest shareholder. After Old Zhu and Ding Chen discussed this, they both felt that it was better to rely on a stronger backing. Thus, the cooperation between the two parties was decided.

Huo Tian only found out that Si Huan had become her business partner after everything had been discussed and decided.

She wasn’t dissatisfied at all because in the time they had interacted, Huo Tian realized that Si Huan was a very generous person.

Si Huan provided them with a lot of support during the process of making the prosthetic limbs for Bi Ying. Not only did he spend a lot of money to get them advanced materials, but he also generously lent Huo Tian the company’s laboratory to complete the prosthetic limbs’ production.

Bi Ying had started to use Huo Tian’s newly made prosthetic limbs and his life had become a lot more convenient. He no longer had to be afraid to drink water for the entire day because it was inconvenient for him to go to the toilet. He looked much more cheerful than before too.

These days, Bi Ying often went to Huo Tian’s house. It was probably due to the collision of thoughts between geniuses that they often came up with many strange thoughts and then worked together to realize them.

Huo Tian felt really happy to be able to work with a genius from several hundred years ago. She even completely forgot that she was still facing a crisis of potentially having no school to attend.

One week before the end of the summer vacation, Qingli High School had already started preparing for school reopening. As the president of the student union for the next academic year, Si Huan had participated in a lot of work involving the school.

Today, the leaders of Qingli High School were having a meeting with the student union members to summarize the recruitment process for the past period. Si Huan had been responsible for a portion of this year’s recruitment work. During the meeting, he explained the recruitment situation and the school’s management were very satisfied with the results of his work.

After discussing the recruitment work, the academic director brought up the issue of whether they should persuade students who had violated school rules to leave the school. Of course, Huo Tian’s name was also on the list.

With Huo Tian having lost her identity as the daughter of the Huo Family, there was no value in keeping her when her grades were always at the bottom of the rankings. Therefore, the leaders only mentioned her name in the meeting as a symbolic gesture. They didn’t expect to hear an objection.

As the school’s management were about to discuss the next issue, Si Huan raised his hand and interrupted the academic director.

“Teacher, I think that there’s a need to further discuss the matter of Huo Tian’s student status.”

Si Huan sat upright. After the teacher indicated that he could speak, he said, “As far as I know, Huo Tian did not violate any school rules in the last academic year. In the course of the school’s history, there had been no student who was expelled because of poor results. Even the outstanding students who entered the school based on their grades would have their grades drop because they are unaccustomed to the new environment. I hope the teachers can give Huo Tian a chance.”

The school’s management were very fond of Si Huan, so they didn’t get angry even after their proposal was refuted.

The principal explained, “Si Huan, I know you’re a kind-hearted child and you can’t bear to let Huo Tian suffer a greater blow when her life is going through great changes. However, even public high schools take in students based on the students’ results. Huo Tian’s middle school examination results can’t reach our school’s cut-off point. Now, she can’t pay any more sponsorship fees, and the school’s management are only trying to correct the mess.”

Si Huan nodded and said, “I understand what you mean. However, I didn’t suggest giving Huo Tian another chance out of kindness. I just didn’t want the school to lose a genius.”

The school’s management and student union members all laughed. Huo Tian had spread her bad reputation back when she had just entered the school. How could she be related to the word ‘genius’?

Huo Tian’s form teacher when she was a Year One student felt a headache at the mention of her name. “Si Huan, don’t joke around. Last year, Huo Tian had never managed to stay for an entire lesson in our class and she had also gotten a one-digit number for all the tests. I’ve never seen her display any talent beyond her studies either. How can she possibly be a genius?”

“I understand the teachers’ perspectives very well. Before this summer vacation, my thoughts were no different from everyone else’s. However, a chance encounter allowed me to understand her genius side.”

Si Huan connected his computer to the conference room’s projector and started to show everyone the miracles Huo Tian had created in the small workshop in the urban village!
