What's wrong with me, a school principal, listening to students' suggestions?

The atmosphere at the entire No. 13 Middle School changed during the morning classes.

Although the students still didn't pay much attention in class, at least they stopped sleeping on their desks.

The topic of discussion during breaks changed from "We're going to eat pig feed again today" to "What dishes will be served in the cafeteria at noon?"

"The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup I make this morning requires at least fish maw, abalone, and sea cucumber; the cost of the ingredients alone is over a hundred yuan per serving."

There was a chubby guy in Class 1 of the second year of high school who was even counting on his fingers.

"The principal is treating 500 people to a free meal. How much would that cost?"

"Since it's not our turn to pay, we'll just eat."

"That's right!"

By noon, the cafeteria was packed again.

Zhou Dahai's team prepared a lavish lunch as usual...

Boiled beef, fish head with chopped chili, lettuce with oyster sauce, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and tomato and egg drop soup.

The portions are generous, and the taste is still amazing.

Zhou Dahai has elevated hot and sour shredded potatoes to Michelin standards, with each strand being of uniform thickness and the hot and sour ratio perfectly balanced.

The tomato and egg drop soup is especially delicious, with a bright red color.

The egg drop soup is evenly distributed, and with one spoonful, the sweet and sour taste of the tomato melts in your mouth.

Lin Yucai stood in the corner of the cafeteria, holding a bowl of rice.

Seeing the students engrossed in their meals filled me with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The system panel flashed briefly in the upper right corner of the view.

[Mission Progress Update: Improving the cafeteria food...100%]

[Mission complete! Rewards being calculated...]

Lin Yucai's heart skipped a beat. He quickly found a secluded corner and stared down at the panel.

[Settlement complete!]

On the virtual panel, a treasure chest glowing with blue light slowly appeared.

The lid popped open, revealing a dazzling array of light.

……

Looking at the halo of "eat as much as you want without getting fat", Lin Yucai couldn't help but smile.

If all the girls in the school knew about this, half of the enrollment problem for No. 13 Middle School could be solved just based on this one point alone.

Of course, this cannot be discussed.

Who would believe that?

He was secretly pleased when he heard the sound of high heels clicking on the ground behind him.

"Lin Yucai".

Su Qingyan's voice came from behind, cold and icy.

Lin Yucai was startled and quickly closed the system panel, turned around, and put on a smiling face.

"Vice Principal Su, have you eaten? The chopped chili fish head at lunch was pretty good..."

"Don't give me that chopped chili fish head nonsense."

Su Qingyan stood in front of him, her arms crossed, her gaze behind her gold-rimmed glasses uncompromising.

"You said yesterday you'd tell me where the money came from today, can you tell me now?"

Lin Yucai rubbed his hands together, his mind racing.

Have you seen the movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire"?

Lin Yucai suddenly asked.

"No, what's wrong?" Su Qingyan frowned.

"The movie is about a billionaire's illegitimate son who is out of town and must spend a sum of money on the right things within a specified time in order to inherit the family fortune."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Su Qingyan's brows furrowed even more.

Lin Yucai took a deep breath and put on a weathered expression.

"Actually... I'm that rich second-generation who was stranded away from home."

Su Qingyan stared at him for three seconds.

Four seconds.

Five seconds.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Really." Lin Yucai said earnestly, "My biological father is an overseas investor and has a considerable fortune."

"But he had one condition: the money had to be spent on education and couldn't go into my personal pocket."

"That's why I became the principal of No. 13 Middle School."

Su Qingyan looked him up and down.

He wore a gray jacket, black canvas shoes, and his trousers still had mud stains from when he was moving groceries last night.

"You? A rich kid?" Her tone was full of skepticism.

"Keep it low-key." Lin Yucai put a finger to his lips. "Vice Principal Su, just keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone."

"I don't want the students to know, so as not to put them under psychological pressure."

Su Qingyan remained silent for a long time, her heart filled with disbelief.

But the three million in the bank account is real, Zhou Dahai's team is real, and the students in the cafeteria eating with their mouths full of oil is also real.

More importantly, she saw the expressions on the students' faces.

That kind of heartfelt, satisfied, and even slightly moved expression.

Having served as the vice principal of No. 13 Middle School for three years, this was the first time she had seen these students smile like that.

"Even if what you're saying is true..." Su Qingyan pushed up her glasses, her tone softening slightly, "Three million isn't a mountain of gold; it'll all be spent sooner or later."

Have you thought about what will happen next?

There's always a way out.

"What kind of answer is that?"

"Vice Principal Su, can't you have a little more faith in me?" Lin Yucai smiled at her. "I'm a principal, after all."

"I'm content as long as the students can have a delicious, hot meal."

Looking at his unreliable face, Su Qingyan felt a mix of emotions welling up inside her.

confidence?

This school has been at the bottom for over a decade, where does she get the confidence?

But she didn't ask any further questions.

……

the other side.

A long line formed next to the suggestion box as students eagerly stuffed notes into it.

"I suggest installing air conditioning in the dorm!"

"I suggest renovating the playground!"

"I suggest we hire a better PE teacher! Our current teacher, Mr. Wang, just lets us do whatever we want during class!"

"I suggest the school uniforms shouldn't be so ugly!"
