Chapter 9

And to Zhang Jue's surprise, there were a few more documents in the envelope—party membership application forms.

This made Zhang Jue inwardly marvel. It seemed that the Wang Haiquan couple had more influence than he had imagined. They were probably more than just simple businessmen.

The Spring Festival was over, and school was about to start in a few days, so Zhang Jue's time was quite tight. He had to get this matter settled in the next couple of days.

Leaving the hotel, Wang Liping hunched over and followed behind, earnestly saying, "Director Zhang, please walk slowly. The ground is slippery."

His title had changed again; Wang Liping was now calling him Director Zhang.

Zhang Jue smiled and said, "No need, Manager Wang is very busy with your daily affairs. You don't have to follow me. Go and take care of your business."

"Director Zhang, what are you saying? My job is to serve you well. Please give Xiao Ke a chance."

Zhang Jue frowned, feeling a chill. He couldn't imagine how a forty-something sycophantic fat man could call himself 'Xiao Ke.'

At the door, Wang Liping hurriedly shouted, "Quickly bring the hotel's Rolls-Royce. I'll drive Director Zhang to his new position myself."

Hearing this, the doorman ran to the back courtyard. However, when Wang Liping turned around, Zhang Jue was already standing by the roadside, hailing a taxi and getting in.

Watching the taxi drive away, Wang Liping slapped his thigh in frustration and then slapped his own face in anger: "Oh no, I've caused trouble!"

Muttering to himself, Wang Liping, as if grasping the last straw, called Secretary Li: "Brother, you have to help me."

Li Ding hesitated and said, "You might not believe me, but I can't even speak for Mr. Zhang. Sigh, take care of yourself."

With that, Li Ding hung up the phone, leaving Wang Liping alone, standing in the cold wind at the hotel entrance, feeling dejected...

After getting out of the car, Zhang Jue lingered at the entrance of Zhixing Middle School. Looking at the grand exterior and well-equipped facilities of the school building, a glint of insight flashed in his left eye.

He murmured, "This place isn't simple either."

"Stop! What are you doing here?"

A middle-aged security guard pointed at Zhang Jue and walked over.

Zhang Jue frowned, "Is the vice-principal here?"

"Looking for the principal? The principal is busy."

The security guard glanced at Zhang Jue's simple attire and assumed he was here to ask the principal for a favor. He immediately felt disdain. Who do you think you are? Do you think this is an ordinary high school? This is a prestigious middle school. You dare to come directly to the principal? The principal is not someone you can see so easily.

The current principal is actually the vice-principal, as the true principal of Zhixing Middle School, who is also the honorary principal, is a leader from the Yijiang Education Bureau. He only holds the title, while the vice-principal handles the actual work.

"Is he here then?"

With that, Zhang Jue walked straight in.

The security guard was stunned and immediately furious, "Do you have ears? I said the principal is busy. Who allowed you to come in? Do you know where you are?"

Zhang Jue glanced at him, "I am the newly appointed head of the political education department, sent by the organization. I'm here a few days before the start of the semester to take up my position and handle some work-related matters and the unfinished business of my predecessor. Think carefully, are you sure you won't let me in?"

"This..."

The security guard was at a loss, feeling half-doubtful. Was it real or fake? The head of the political education department at Zhixing Middle School was reported for accepting bribes and was dismissed, leaving the position vacant.

But according to rumors, the new head of the political education department was the brother-in-law of the Education Bureau director. How did it become this guy? And he's so young, looking like a student. Could it be true?

The security guard was uncertain but felt a bit scared. If it was true, wouldn't he be in trouble from now on? But if it was fake, and this guy used this excuse to get in and harass the principal, wouldn't he be in trouble too?

After much thought, the security guard said, "Alright, register first. Write down your name, phone number, and ID number."

Registering as a visitor was out of the question. Zhang Jue was now part of the system. If it got out that he was harassed by a security guard on his first day, what would his authority be? People would treat him like a pushover, making it hard to carry out his work.

With a cold snort, Zhang Jue took out two appointment letters from his bag and slapped them on the visitor registration desk, saying nothing.

The security guard cautiously picked up the appointment letters and glanced at them, feeling a panic. The Education Bureau's seal and the Feilong Group's HR department seal were not something to be faked.

Still hesitating about what to do, Zhang Jue took the appointment letters back from him and said calmly, "Have you seen them?"

With that, he ignored the security guard and walked into the school. The security guard's lips moved, but he didn't dare to stop him.

"Who was that just now?"

The security guard was feeling bitter and unsure of what to do when he heard a voice behind him. Turning around, he saw the head of the academic affairs department, Yang Xianfeng, standing behind him with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, Director Yang, you're here. That was Zhang Jue. He said he's the new head of the political education department."

The head of the political education department and the head of the academic affairs department, though only one character different, the former inherently outranked the latter. It was like the difference between a principal and a vice-principal, a natural rivalry.

Hearing this, Yang Xianfeng frowned, "Head of the political education department? Zhang Jue? Are you sure?"

The security guard quickly replied, "Yes, he even showed me the appointment letters with the Education Bureau's seal."

"Nonsense!"

Yang Xianfeng scolded, "The higher-ups have already given instructions. The new head of the political education department is Comrade Liu Ge, who is supposed to take up the position in a few days. Where did this Zhang Jue come from?"

The security guard was immediately flustered. It was over; he had let a fraudster in...

"Immediately organize the security guards and get rid of this fraudster before he can carry out his plan."

The security guard hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll organize the people right away." He was furious, thinking, "Damn fraudster, you've doomed yourself."

"Right."

"Is there anything else, Director Yang?"

Yang Xianfeng frowned and said, "Also call Chief Chen from the police station. The fraudster must be punished severely."

Yang Xianfeng had his concerns. The originally appointed head of the political education department, Liu Ge, was the brother-in-law of the Education Bureau director, with many connections. If a fraudster impersonated him just before his appointment, it was uncertain how Liu Ge would react, whether he would think the school was trying to intimidate him. Therefore, the police must be called to ensure severe punishment and avoid any suspicion.
