Especially when I stood at the door and looked in, the room was clean and tidy, with only a faint smell of perfume lingering in the air.
As I approached, there was a photo frame placed beside the bed.
He picked it up and stroked it gently, with a focused expression and a dazed look on his face.
Suddenly, the mood was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.
After rearranging the photo frame, he walked out of Sophie's bedroom, then smiled and said: "Brother, come in and sit down."
The eldest brother stepped forward and patted Zhao Dong on the shoulder. He didn't know how to comfort him, "Okay, Xiaodong, look at it. After a while, Xiaofei calms down, and the eldest brother will personally accompany you to pick up the person!"
Zhao Dong didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject and said, "Where is our mother?"
The eldest brother explained, "Mom went to the hospital."
"By the way, the leader of Xiaoman School called me just now and asked me to go to the school. If you are okay, come with me. It's just a good time to relax."
Zhao Dong nodded, picked up his eldest brother and went straight to Xiaoman School.
The guard had already been greeted, and the eldest brother reported Xiaoman's name and was quickly let out.
When getting off the bus, Zhao Dong couldn't help but sigh. He graduated from here back then. More than five years later, everything is still so familiar.
It's just that things are man-made, and everything becomes so strange.
It's strange to say that when I was in school, I often thought about when I would be an adult and when I would be able to enter the society with a group of best friends. Every day I looked forward to ending my boring student life as soon as possible.
As a result, when I really entered the society and tasted the ups and downs of adulthood, I began to miss the carefree life of going to school again.
Just as I was thinking about it, the Political and Education Office was already in front of me.
Zhao Dong still remembers that when he was in school, this place was almost every student's nightmare.
He was no exception, and was often sent to the Political and Education Department by his head teacher for treatment.
The director of the Political and Education Department at that time was a female teacher with glasses, whose surname was Gao. The students were afraid of her, and there were private rumors that she had never married in her life, so she was nicknamed "Old Maid".
Now think about it, if you arrange teachers in this way, it would be really fucking stupid!
Soon, his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
A voice came from inside, "Please come in!"
The eldest brother walked in front, and Zhao Dong followed behind.
The woman behind the desk said, "Who are you?"
The eldest brother introduced himself: "Hello, Director Gao, I am Zhao Xiaoman's father."
Director Gao frowned, "Oh, Zhao Xiaoman? You really raised a good son, because of his affairs, he caused a lot of trouble to the school!"
Zhao Dong followed and recognized this old acquaintance at a glance.
After not seeing each other for a few years, I was about to go up and say hello, but when I heard her tone, I felt a little unhappy. This was not what a teacher should say!
The eldest brother smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaoman is not sensible this time, and he has really caused trouble for the school."
Director Gao motioned to the elder brother to sit down, "Okay, let's discuss Zhao Xiaoman's problem. This time, his incident has caused a lot of negative impact on the reputation of our school!"
"In the morning, several leaders in our department held a meeting and discussed it. The school's decision was to expel the student!"
The eldest brother was startled and his face turned a little pale.
He hurriedly stood up and begged: "Director Gao, you must not do this! Our Xiaoman is a good boy, and this time it happened for a reason!"
"Look, can you give him another chance?"
"Don't worry, we don't have to worry about our school leaders. I will take care of him when we get back!"
"He will never dare to cause trouble to our school again!"
Director Gao didn't answer. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Then he said slowly: "Dad Zhao Xiaoman, don't be impatient. Sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."
After taking a breath, she continued to speak, "According to the school's regulations, such vicious off-campus brawls will definitely result in expulsion from the school!"
"But considering that Zhao Xiaoman's injury has not healed, my opinion is that we can be lenient!"
The eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "That's great. I'm here to thank the school, thank the leaders, and thank you for giving Xiaoman this opportunity!"
Director Gao was quite satisfied with his elder brother's attitude. He knocked on the table and then continued, "But there is an agreement. Dad Zhao Xiaoman, you must sign it."
"Of course, with Zhao Xiaoman's current condition, he will definitely not be able to take the exam this year."
"The school will keep his student status, and we will go through the formalities later. When his leg injury recovers, let him repeat his studies for one year!"
The elder brother hesitated, "Retake the exam? Wouldn't that delay a year? Director Gao, is there really no other way?"
Director Gao shrugged, "I can't get the grades in professional courses just based on Zhao Xiaoman's cultural courses. Do you think it's possible?"
With that said, she pushed the agreement forward, "Okay, sign the agreement, don't waste time, I have a lot of things to do later."
Director Gao breathed a sigh of relief when his elder brother finished writing.
This agreement was given by the principal as a task, and she was required to complete it well!
I originally thought it would be difficult to handle, and I even prepared compensation.
Unexpectedly, it turned out so smoothly. After coaxing and threatening, Zhao Xiaoman's father obediently signed the agreement.
She felt quite accomplished. If she had known this, she wouldn't have had to waste so much time just now.
Now that I have saved a lot of money, the principal can take credit for it!
Just as he was thinking about it, someone grabbed the signature pen in Zhao Xiaoman's father's hand.
Director Gao looked up and looked a little unhappy, "Who are you? What do you mean?"
The eldest brother was also a little nervous, "Xiaodong, what are you doing?"
Zhao Dong ignored it and snatched the agreement from his elder brother. After reading it in a few glances, his face became a little ugly.
What agreement?
This is a fucking disclaimer, admitting that Xiaoman was injured outside school, and any future physical or mental trauma has nothing to do with the school, and will not be pursued or appealed.
There were a few details at the back, but he didn't read them, and ignored his elder brother's instructions, "Director Gao, I'm sorry, we will not sign this agreement!"
As he spoke, he crumpled the agreement into a ball and threw it directly into the trash can.
Director Gao suddenly stood up from his chair, pointed at his elder brother and yelled, "Dad Zhao Xiaoman, who is he and what is his attitude?"
"What does he want to do? Can he represent you?"
Although the eldest brother doesn't know what Zhao Dong means, out of trust, he will definitely not speak for outsiders.
He also stood up and said: "Director Gao, this is my brother, he can fully represent me in this matter!"
Director Gao was a little angry. He stared at Zhao Dong and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Zhao Dong stared at her, gradually unable to suppress his anger, "It's not interesting, I need an explanation!"
"Director Gao, if you want to resolve the matter, show your attitude and sincerity!"
"A liability exemption agreement is intended to eliminate all responsibilities."
