Chapter 83 - Big Sister

"TSK tsk..what a troublesome school policy of throwing kids out."Everyone was shocked at the new person's entry. Principal Jung frowned at the man who had just entered the office.He was dressed casually in a white shirt and rugged blue denims. The man's attire screamed casual, yet his aura bespoke of a powerful person. The Philippe patek watch on his hand was enough to show his money. Sadly, Principal Jung failed to recognize the man and asked rudely,"Who are you?"

The man smiled suavely and said, "As I said,I am someone you cannot afford to be rude to. But it seems you do not understand.That is no problem I can introduce myself.My name is Matt Long and I am here on the behest of Lance Inc."

The name Long reverberated through the office. No one in country A would fail to recognize the Long name.The owners of Lance Inc. Were the Long Brothers and it was a known fact that the entire economy of many countries depended on them.They were the biggest players in the ocean. But no one would believe that Matt Long would look like this.

He most shocked to see this person was Zhang Min.After Shi Ai's new changes,when he had seen this man,Zhang Min had been sure that he had entered an alternate reality. Because standing in front of him had been the grim reaper but not the grim reaper...This man had blonde hair with mint blue streaks! Zhang Min would have surely fainted if the man had said his name was Ah Hai...But since they had the same face and surname,Zhang Min came to the conclusion that he must be the grim reaper's brother.

Principal Jung and Lord Cheng's attitude saw a sudden drastic change as the man introduced himself. Principal Jung was almost falling over himself to welcome the man. He invited Matt Long inside but the man ignored him and turned to look at Shi Ai. 

Shi AI had stood frozen to the side as she had seen the new man.She too had been dazed as if seen a ghost.In reality she had also almost mistaken Matt for Ah Hai. It was only after he had spoken that she come to her senses. She remembered that they were four brothers but she had no impression of this man. But seeing him here gave her the reassurance she needed desperately. Though she had been standing and arguing here fiercely,inside she had been a trembling mess.

When Matt Long's eyes fell on Shi Ai, his eyes softened marginally and with a small smile he said, "So you are the little girl who has put the  big shots in a spin."

Though Matt indicated he was talking about the two old men,he actually meant his younger brother who had called him in the middle of his mission and ordered him here. Matt vaguely remembered the little Shi Ai from his brother's marriage but he had not known that Ah Hai had kept in touch with the girl. Seeing her reaction to his face he was pretty sure that she had recently seen his brother. Matt had not been pleased to come to the city from his hideout to rescue a little girl because of his brother but seeing the girl stand for herself had made him interested on this occasion.

Without waiting for Shi Ai's reply,Matt Long turned to the principal and gestured for them to move inside while telling Zhang Min and Shi Ai to follow him. The principal wanted to object but had to bite back his tongue when Matt Long looked at him with raised eyebrows. Principal Jung went inside and so did Lord Cheng,Matt Long,Shi Ai and Zhang Min..While the Principal and Lord Cheng made their way towards the big oak table,Matt Long went towards the small couches placed on the side and gestured for Zhang Min and Shi Ai to sit next to him.

Wanting to establish his rule over his domain, Principal Jung kept on going towards his chair and Lord Cheng sat on the other side. Having sat where he wanted to,Principal Jung said," Mr Long, why don't you come to the table and we can discuss everything.This is a better place. Matt Long continued to lounge and said," Principal Jung!What is there to talk about? I am very clear on what happened. You are the ones who need to understand.But do not worry the one that has to talk will be here soon."

Just then the precious Ms Rui knocked on the door and said in a meek voice," Sir,there is a Ms Su here.She says she is here to meet you on behalf of Lance Inc. and is with Matt Long."

Matt Long gave a charming smile and said,"Please let her in Ms Rui. Principal Jung wishes to talk and I don't like talking..Ms Su Jinyan on the other hand loves to talk so she can do that." Ms Rui looked confused at Principal Jung as the man who had just ordered her leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes..Principal Jung nodded and soon Ms Su. was escorted inside.

Zhang Min looked on amazed as Matt Long continued to lounge on the sofa as if he was sleeping and the Principal Jung looked more and more flustered by the minute. He needed to take pointers.

Ms Su looked over at the side where her boss was lounging and then smiled at Principal Jung and Lord Cheng. Ms Su was a small woman with an ordinary looking,slightly rounded figure.Her hair was held up in a tight bun and she looked like a very strict teacher. But her voice when she spoke was extremely pleasing and soft.."Hello gentlemen.My name is Su Jianian and I am here to discuss the terms of Ms Shi's scholarship. Principal Jung, your office has filed a complaint with us that due to Ms Shi Ai's immoral conduct you wish to cancel her scholarship and offer the same to a deserving student.Am I correct?"

Principal Jung smiled smugly in Shi Ai and Zhang Min's direction and then nodded," Yes Ms Su. That is correct. We deplore such behavior and would like to expel such a problematic student and set an example for the future miscreants. You see we are a reputable school and cannot let such people stay here."

Ms Su. nodded understandingly and said,"I understand. but before we decide on this matter we would like to know what misdeed Ms Shi Ai has actually done. Since the scholarship is run from the personal earnings of the Long's,the decision rests with Mrs Alicia Long and we must file a report with her."

Principal Jung nodded and immediately began to explain," Ms Shi organized a party last week and nvited all her fellow students. The students were all underage and yet,Ms Shi had the restaurant serve alcohol by bribing them. She then brought drugs into the party to seduce the young boys and blackmail them.But the restaurant management filed a complaint with the police as they did not want drugs on their premises. In order to save herself,she took an overdose of drugs and was even admitted in the hospital because of that while the rest of the innocent students were harassed by the police. Most of the kids are traumatized because of this and all the parents have been ringing the school constantly and pressing the school to take action. We could have directly expelled her but to be fair we decided to set an investigative committee."

While Principal Jung had explained Shi Ai's misdeeds, Zhang Min had been getting agitated and was about to jump up from the couch to protest but Matt along caught him by the wrist and without opening his eyes muttered," Watch kid..Watch and learn."

This caused Zhang Min to frown.This man looked like a useless 'punk' to him. Why did he come if he just wanted to sleep in the Principal's office.

Ms.Su on the other hand was nodding sympathetically with the Principal. "I understand, Principal Jung. One rotten apple is enough to spoil the entire lot. Alright, now according to your other wishes, you suggest that the scholarship be transferred to another more deserving student. Would you like to suggest someone?"

Principal Jung thought of names but he could not think of any outstanding student at the top of his head. Just then Lord Cheng intervened and suggested, "There is another girl who is much more deserving. She is from a privileged family so she does not need the money but she deserves a reward for exposing a girl like her. Her name is Yao Yao."

Shi Ai,who had been sitting quietly until now clenched her fingers in her lap. Yao Yao! Just how had she ever wronged Yao Yao that she had played such a game with her! She had thought that what Yao Yao had done the other  night was enough but it seemed that Yao Yao was not satisfied. She wanted to torture Shi Ai as much as she could.
