Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Upon hearing this, Peng Jiahe was slightly taken aback at first, then gently pushed up the exquisite sunglasses perched on her nose, revealing a pair of bright and sharp eyes. She looked at Ding Yu with a half-smile, replying with a hint of sarcasm, "Hmph, you? A beautiful, rich, and successful woman like me isn't someone just anyone can pursue. Do you think you're qualified?"

At this moment, although the other classmates around her also admired Peng Jiahe's outstanding appearance, they were not as shameless as Ding Yu in openly expressing their admiration. They carefully maintained a certain distance, occasionally leaning forward to offer a few words of praise such as, "Peng Jiahe and He Xinyan, you two are so beautiful," afraid of accidentally saying the wrong thing and offending this aloof young lady.

The two women were indeed dressed very beautifully today; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were big stars in person.

Peng Jiahe wore a white off-shoulder dress, white high heels, tassel earrings, and her long hair was naturally draped to one side. She also wore simple makeup.

He Xinyan was no less stunning than Peng Jiahe. She wore a beige knee-length dress, the same high heels as Peng Jiahe, carried a small bag, and wore a pair of fashionable earrings.

When Mu Qi saw their attire, his eyes widened in surprise, and he was completely stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses, quickly adjusted his sunglasses, and said with feigned composure, "Why are you two so late? Principal Zhong called me personally just now, urging me to contact you as soon as possible!"

Peng Jiahe leisurely took off the sunglasses on his face, a slight smile playing on his lips as he explained, "Oh dear, I specially took Xinyan to get a beautiful new hairstyle, so it took a little longer. But look at the time now, it's not too late, let's hurry up and set off!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at He Xinyan beside her, their eyes meeting in a tacit understanding. Then she raised her eyebrows slightly, signaling that the other person could get going.

He Xinyan nodded obediently, indicating that she understood Peng Jiahe's meaning, and then followed Peng Jiahe as they walked forward.

However, at that moment, the football team and cheerleaders who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly began to prepare to follow in their footsteps.

This sudden situation infuriated Mu Qi. He glared at the team members who wanted to join in the fun and shouted, "What are you all doing meddling here? Go back to your classrooms and have a proper lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingke, the captain of the football team, calmly stepped forward. Facing Mu Qi directly, he replied without fear, "Coach Mu, this matter concerns the future development of both the football team and the cheerleading squad. I believe it's necessary for everyone to meet with the school leaders together. After all, we are a team; how can we leave it to just two girls to face this?"

Mu Qi roughly guessed what Peng Jiahe and her team were going to do today. If the football team and cheerleaders saw Peng Jiahe's actions and followed suit, that would be terrible.

“You are the captain of the football team, I am the coach, and Pei Duo is the assistant coach. We led the football team and the cheerleading squad to skip class. Do you know what the consequences will be? If you think disbanding the football team is no big deal, then you can follow along! At most, I will just lose a job.”

After Mu Qi finished speaking, he gazed at Peng Jiahe and He Xinyan and said slowly, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Principal Zhong. As for what they want to do, let them do it. I have no intention of interfering anymore."

Hearing Mu Qi describe the situation as so serious, Wang Jingke pondered for a moment, then looked at the football team and cheerleaders and said, "Let's go back! If He Xinyan's punishment is too harsh, we can go to the principal and the others together. We can't help much if we go now; let's trust Coach Mu and Peng Jiahe!"

Ding Yu echoed, "The captain is right! The matter is still unresolved, and even if we go, we can't help much. We might as well listen to Coach Mu to avoid giving others a reason to criticize us."

As Mu Qi led He Xinyan and Peng Jiahe upstairs, he had already contacted Zhong Yan, who was also in the conference room with several vice principals.

Mu Qi escorted Peng Jiahe and the others to the meeting room door and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, don't make things too tense, after all, you still have to go to school."

Peng Jiahe gave an OK sign, composed himself, and walked into the conference room.

Just as Peng Jiahe was about to go in, Pei Duo spoke up again: "Hey! Sometimes you have to bow your head when you should. Don't be like my sister Jiang Lai, who is domineering and unreasonable."

Peng Jiahe rolled her eyes at Pei Duo, then pushed open the conference room door and led He Xinyan inside.

When Peng Jiahe saw several school leaders sitting in a row, he said with a solemn expression, "What are you school leaders trying to do? Are you perhaps going to set up a private court and conduct a joint trial by the three judicial authorities?"

The school leaders in the conference room were also shocked when they heard Peng Jiahe's words. Peng Jiahe's words could be taken lightly or seriously. If investigated further, these leaders were indeed suspected of setting up a private court.

Mu Qi and Pei Duo, who were listening outside the conference room, were equally shocked by Peng Jiahe's question. They knew that Peng Jiahe would take ruthless measures, but they did not expect her to be so sharp from the very first word.

He Xinyan was also taken aback by Peng Jiahe's words, but seeing the panicked expressions of the school leaders, He Xinyan knew that Peng Jiahe had taken the initiative, and she was no longer as nervous as before.

Upon hearing Peng Jiahe's words, Yang Fan hurriedly began to defend himself.

"We're just asking a normal question, don't you dare make things up! Look at your clothes, do you look like students at all?"

“Vice Principal Yang Fan, what a show of official power you have! Should I call someone over to come and see if what you’re doing counts as setting up a private court? If you’re worried that I’m colluding with others, then I can also invite some reporters to let the public judge for themselves.”

Upon hearing Peng Jiahe's words, the school leaders present all became solemn. They might not know He Xinyan's background, but they did know Peng Jiahe to some extent.

After all, he was the only one in the entire school who drove a luxury car worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan to school. Even the teachers' cars didn't exceed 500,000 yuan, yet Peng Jiahe's car was worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. This indirectly proved the connections and influence behind Peng Jiahe. As for bringing reporters, they completely believed it.

All the school leaders broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Zhong Yan, because they really couldn't bear such a huge burden.

Zhong Yan sighed, gazed at Peng Jiahe, and said, "In that case, let's talk at the round table in the back!"

Peng Jiahe nodded and said, "We should open our eyes. Although we are still students, we are all over eighteen years old and adults. Only by sitting down to discuss this can we be considered equal."

The school leaders present understood the meaning behind Peng Jiahe's words. Observing Peng Jiahe and her group's attire today, they knew that Peng Jiahe was going to handle the core issues in an adult manner.

Just then, Qiao Weidong, Fang Yuan, Tong Wenjie, and Liu Jing arrived and knocked on the conference room door.

Zhong Yan turned around and saw the group, asking in surprise, "Who are you...?"

Qiao Weidong quickly stepped forward and said to Zhong Yan, "Are you Principal Zhong? We are parents of students from Chunfeng Middle School. The photos from yesterday caused quite a stir. We heard that you are going to handle this matter today, and we would like to sit in and listen to how you are handling it."

Zhong Yan frowned slightly upon hearing Qiao Weidong's words.

If He Xinyan and the school can reach a solution that satisfies both parties, then everyone will be happy.
