Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 99 - 86: Director Lin and Principal Lin

From his gloomy expression and cold tone, it was easy to judge.

Wang Guangqing sneaked a glance at Lin Xiamo with the corner of his eye, secretly cursing in his heart. Just now at the meeting, she was quite fierce when arguing with us!

Let’s see if she has the same courage when facing her own father!

"Because it’s unreasonable!"

Lin Xiamo calmly replied, "The decision to let him come to the school as a visiting student was made by the school leadership through normal procedures, and the visiting fee was paid."

"I just mentioned at the meeting that we should not be swayed by public opinion. If we cancel Shen Qiushan’s visiting student status now, the public might think we were operating illegally before."

"Besides, he didn’t do anything wrong, he just said he wanted to get into Sanjiang University!"

"If we cancel his visiting student status just because of that, what about educational diversity and fairness?"

"Moreover, if he really gets into Sanjiang University, wouldn’t that be a loud slap in the face to those doubters?"

"Whether for Sanjiang High School or the entire Sanjiang City Education System, this would be a benchmark moment!"

"Therefore, I believe that instead of canceling his visiting student status, we should give him ample support and encouragement!"

"Only then can we fully reflect the diversity and inclusiveness of Sanjiang City in terms of education!"

During Lin Xiamo’s speech, Lin Moxuan kept his brows tightly knit. After his daughter finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "Your conclusion is based on the premise that Shen Qiushan can get into Sanjiang University!"

"What if he doesn’t get in?"

"From his mock exam results, even if he doesn’t get into Sanjiang University, he can still get into a full-time bachelor’s program."

"Given that he’s already 38, isn’t that a kind of success too?"

Lin Xiamo raised her slender eyebrows and looked at her father, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Lin Moxuan did not immediately respond but frowned as he pondered.

With the director remaining silent, no one else dared to make a sound; for a moment, the meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, Xu Decai, who had gone to get Shen Qiushan’s visiting student documents, returned. Seeing the gloomy atmosphere in the meeting room, he cautiously handed the materials to Lin Moxuan, "Director Lin, here are the documents you requested."

Lin Moxuan took the documents and looked them over. The dates on the visiting student file indeed showed that Shen Qiushan came to the school over a week before his daughter Lin Xiamo took office.

"Did Shen Qiushan directly approach you at that time?"

Lin Moxuan asked Xu Decai.

"Yes!"

"He came directly to me."

Xu Decai nodded, then truthfully recounted the situation at that time, "Actually, I approached Shen Qiushan that day because his son Shen Yixiao was caught in a typical case of early romance..."

"What! Early romance??"

Lin Moxuan slammed one hand onto the meeting table.

His sudden action startled Xu Decai so much that he trembled, and he regretted it immensely: Why did I mention early romance!

Wasn’t this just exposing oneself!

Wang Guangqing beside him turned pale with anger, glaring viciously at Xu Decai. Early romance happens in every high school, but you can’t bring it up in front of the leadership about your own school!

Wasn’t this just putting yourself in the line of fire!

Wang Guangqing now just wanted to call Xu Decai a "big troublemaker"!!

"Continue."

Lin Moxuan gestured with his hand, indicating for Xu Decai to go on.

"Uh..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Xu Decai took a deep breath. At this point, there was no turning back, so he pressed on with determination, "Shen Yixiao was caught in a typical case of early romance, and coupled with his poor academic performance, I called Shen Qiushan to suggest the possibility of expelling Shen Yixiao..."

"Expulsion??"

Lin Moxuan slammed the meeting table again.

The half-spoken Xu Decai trembled once more, realizing he had said something wrong again.

Because the Education Bureau had long issued clear regulations prohibiting schools from proactively expelling students for the sake of higher enrollment rates, clearly, Xu Decai had stepped on another minefield.

And the face of Wang Guangqing beside him had transformed from iron-blue to a dark purple.

He had always thought Xu Decai was quite reliable, never expecting that he could make two mistakes in such a short span!

He was practically a "super troublemaker"!

What Wang Guangqing and Xu Decai didn’t know was that Lin Moxuan’s strong reaction had little to do with the incident itself.

Whether it was early student romance or schools expelling underperforming students for enrollment rates, these were common phenomena in high schools.

The issue lay with the individuals involved!

Although Lin Moxuan greatly disliked Shen Qiushan as a son-in-law, his traditional mindset and preference for boys made him fond and highly regard his grandson, Shen Yixiao!

Learning that his grandson, on the eve of the college entrance examination, had been involved in early romance naturally infuriated him.

And the suggestion of expulsion made him even angrier!

The Education Bureau had repeatedly emphasized that high schools should not expel students for the sake of higher enrollment rates.

Yet here they were, considering expulsion, and it was his grandson?

It was outright audacious!

"Director Lin, we weren’t proactively seeking to expel students, just trying to scare him a bit, as a warning for all students in the school."

Wang Guangqing quickly explained, realizing as the principal, if he didn’t step in now, who knows what other school scandals Xu Decai might reveal.

"Yes, yes, just to scare him a bit."

"In the end, it was just a warning record."

Xu Decai immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, continue."

Lin Moxuan also felt he had lost a bit of composure. He adjusted his emotions slightly and motioned for Xu Decai to go on.

"Uh, where was I..."

Scared senseless, Xu Decai had lost his train of thought. After a moment, he continued, "Shen Qiushan found me, saying he wanted to study as a visiting student and keep an eye on his son’s studies."
