Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

The moment Li Jianxing saw Principal Zhou appear outside the door, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew he was doomed.

If a female subordinate is caught having an affair, the principal might turn a blind eye, at most issuing a few warnings or reprimands, since such things are not uncommon in leadership circles.

If someone gets caught doing this, some hot-blooded people might even say, "Little Li, be more careful next time you do something like this, remember to lock the door..."

But I just said something like that, and the person in question heard me...

That would be a complete disaster.

It's practically like sleeping with a toilet on your head—you're not far from pooping.

It's important to know that in the workplace, what leaders hate most is someone who dares to challenge their authority.

I wanted to slap myself and yell, "What a terrible thing to do!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Face the storm!

Over here, Principal Zhou did not immediately get angry after seeing all this; he simply looked silently into the room.

Inside the room, Wen Wan was clutching the collar of her bathrobe, her once stunningly beautiful face now deathly pale.

"Lu...Lu Qian, Principal Zhou?!"

Upon seeing the principal and Lu Qian appear at the door, tears instantly welled up in her beautiful eyes. Her graceful body curled up into a ball, giving her a broken and beautiful appearance.

This scene speaks volumes without a word.

Damn it, doing this kind of thing in the teachers' dormitory...

This Zhou Jianxing is truly lawless!

Seeing this, Principal Zhou's anger intensified, but he did not immediately lash out at Director Zhou.

He knew that the most important thing at that moment was to comfort the victims and prevent the matter from spreading.

So he suppressed his anger and ordered Li Jianxing:

"Li Jianxing, come to my office right now and wait for me. I'll be there shortly."

A single sentence, like the tolling of a judgment bell, sealed the deal.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianxing trembled, his lips quivered, and he couldn't utter a single word.

After a long pause, he finally uttered a single word: "Yes..."

With her legs feeling weak, she shuffled toward the principal's office, completely disoriented.

Clearly, they knew the end was near, and they left in despair.

"This Principal Zhou is really something..."

Lu Qian stood aside and watched coldly, secretly admiring Principal Zhou's ability to remain calm in the face of danger.

If he were in that situation, he might have slapped Li Jianxing twice on the spot; he definitely couldn't have remained as calm as Principal Zhou.

It can only be said that those who can become the top leader are all quite capable.

After seeing Li Jianxing leave, Principal Zhou went into the room and closed the door behind him.

He knew that this kind of thing could only be resolved behind closed doors.

"Teacher Wen, I'm so sorry to have startled you."

Principal Zhou looked at the still-shaken Wen Wan and said in a gentler tone, "The school will definitely handle this matter seriously and give you an explanation, but right now the most important thing is your emotions. Don't let this incident leave you with psychological trauma, otherwise it will be very serious."

The words were spoken softly, yet with a comforting power.

"Yes, thank you, Principal..."

Hearing the principal's words, Wen Wan nodded, wiped away her tears, and forced herself to remain calm as she replied, "I'm much better now, I'm..."

Even so, it was still clear that she was quite frightened.

Upon seeing Wen Wan's appearance, Principal Zhou frowned.

The victim is currently in a state of confusion and is clearly not in a suitable position to resolve this matter. It seems that we will have to find another time to talk to her privately later...

Thinking it over, he glanced at Lu Qian, then looked at Wen Wan and said solemnly, "Currently, only the four of us know about this. For the sake of your reputation and work, Teacher Wen, let's all keep quiet. As for Director Zhou, don't worry, the school will handle it discreetly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian immediately understood that the principal was referring to him.

He nodded immediately and said sincerely, "Principal, Teacher Wen, please rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter and will not say a single word carelessly."

Wen Wan was the powerful figure he was going to curry favor with, so naturally he wouldn't reveal this matter.

"Um."

Principal Zhou expressed his satisfaction with Lu Qian's thoughtfulness, then thought for a moment and said gently to Wen Wan, "Teacher Wen, please get some rest and calm down. The school will give you a day off tomorrow. Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you an answer within three days."

Afterwards, Principal Zhou comforted Wen Wan for a few more minutes before quickly leaving, still feeling the chill of the night.

It's not good for either of them that a school leader like him is staying in a female teacher's dormitory late at night.

Moreover, Wenwan's current state is indeed not suitable for resolving the issue, and the follow-up to this matter will have to wait until later.

But we could deal with Li Jianxing first, who dares to act on behalf of the emperor at the school.

After Principal Zhou left, the room fell silent again, leaving only Wen Nian, who had survived the ordeal, and Lu Qian standing to the side.

"Hmm∽"

Wen Nian's tense nerves finally relaxed completely, and her body went limp as she leaned against the wall by the door.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

The fear and lingering dread she had just experienced overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, and her heart pounded wildly.

A college graduate fresh out of school had never encountered anything like this before, and was immediately terrified.

"Sigh, you can tell at a glance that she's a young girl who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life..." Lu Qian sighed inwardly as he looked at her vulnerable appearance.

I initially thought this music teacher would be more mature than the girls around him, but now it seems that most of them are still quite girlish.

Then I'll reluctantly stay and try to appease her.

He was genuinely worried that the music teacher might quit on a whim, which would mean he would lose his way of living off her.

It's the same principle as offering help in times of need; if I can win over this female teacher now, I might get more resources later.

As for taking credit for this beautiful teacher, now is not the best time. If Wen Wan could find out from other people that it was me who did it for her, the effect would definitely be better.

So all he needs to do now is keep him company.

After all, most girls feel insecure after experiencing something like this and really want a guy to be there for them.

"Don't be afraid, Teacher Wen. It's all over now. Principal Zhou is a senior principal after all. We should trust that he can resolve this."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qian slowly squatted down in front of Wen Wan and gently coaxed her, "That's how the workplace is. A young, beautiful, and capable newcomer like you is very likely to become a target for some unscrupulous leaders who hold power."

"Rose may be beautiful, but it also has thorns. Teacher Wen, you must remember that if you encounter a similar situation in the future, you must seek help immediately, protect yourself, never try to tough it out alone, and never give them any opportunity to take advantage of you."

These words, coming from a high school student, seem particularly striking.

But the words may be rough, but the principle is sound; that's exactly how it is.

These principles are lessons Lu Qian learned from witnessing countless tragedies in the workplace during his previous life.

You don't start from scratch; you start from experience.

That is the advantage of being reborn.

Only by sharing their experiences of being caught in the rain can those who come after them understand the importance of carrying an umbrella when going out.

And that's all he could do to help her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Nian raised her tearful eyes and stared blankly at Lu Qian.

The boy's handsome face looked exceptionally reliable under the light, and the calmness and composure in his eyes made her feel safe and dependent after her nightmare, as if he were the one who could protect her.

"Yes, I know, thank you, Lu Qian... thank you so much..." Wen Nian raised her hand to wipe away her tears and tried to calm her breathing.

What the boy just said seemed to have some kind of magic, making her much braver.

"Oh, right, Lu Qian."

She suddenly remembered something, and looked at Lu Qian with sincere eyes: "I just read the script you sent me... You wrote it very well. I didn't expect you could write such a wonderful story. The setting, pacing, and exciting moments are all very captivating."

When she talked about the script, she seemed to find an outlet for her emotions, and her big, watery eyes lit up again:

"Lu Qian, I have high hopes for your drama. I will contact my friends at the Communication University of China in a while. They have the equipment and resources. If you have time, you can come and be the screenwriter and director of this project. I believe that with your talent, you can definitely do it well."

Sure enough, the effect of providing timely help was immediate.

"Yes, thank you for your trust, Teacher Wen."

Hearing Wen Wan's words, Lu Qian smiled and said, "It's an honor to participate in this project. We'll work together to make it a success."

Seeing Lu Qian's smile and confidence, Wen Nian's heart gradually calmed down, and the atmosphere in the room gradually faded away as the discussion continued.

"Okay, it's settled then." Wen Nian also forced a relaxed smile despite her tear-streaked face.

The two then chatted for a long time.

During their conversation, Lu Qian always managed to evoke emotions and make Wen Wan laugh heartily, which gradually reduced her fear.

Seeing that she had calmed down considerably, Lu Qian prepared to leave.

After all, he's an adult now, and it's indeed a bit inappropriate for him to be in the same room with such a charming and beautiful female teacher.

So he said, "Teacher Wen, you should get some rest. We can discuss the script in more detail tomorrow or when it's convenient for you. It's getting late, I should head back now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a soft hand reached out and tightly grasped his wrist.

Lu Qian paused, turning around in surprise.

He noticed that Wen Wan had already stood up straight and was standing very close behind him.

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with dependence and pleading.

Under the light, her skin glowed softly after her bath. The loose collar of her robe was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and graceful neckline. Her breathtaking curves were faintly visible beneath the smooth silk.

At this moment, she was as fragile as a delicate glass swan.

"Lu Qian..."

Her voice was soft, tinged with a sob: "Could you stay with me a little longer? I was really scared just now, and I'm all alone... I'm a little scared..."
