Chapter 46 — Well Acquainted with the Dean of Studies; Begging for Recommendation Votes, Begging for Collections

"This is Wei Zhao, Director Wang. I hope I'm not interrupting anything good?" Wei Zhao said with a chuckle.
"Ah... no, no, not at all." Director Wang's heart lurched, and his voice turned exceedingly amiable. "Wei Zhao, is that you? Come now, what good thing could I be up to? Class is about to start."
"Heh heh, it's like this — I have a small favor to ask of you, Director Wang." Wei Zhao smiled and did not call him out on the lie. The man's tone a moment ago had been plainly nervous; anyone could tell he was up to no good.
"What is it? Let's hear it." Wang Zhifeng sighed inwardly. Ah, so his weakness had finally been seized by someone, and on the very next day that someone had come knocking with a request.
"It's like this: I have some business this morning and may be a little late to school. Could I trouble you to let my homeroom teacher know and ask for leave on my behalf? I should be there by a little after ten," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh, that's all? Yes, no problem at all." Hearing it was such a trifle, Wang Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Easy enough — a single phone call.
"Then thank you, Director Wang. I won't disturb you any longer — do carry on..." Wei Zhao said, a meaningful lilt in his voice.
This kid... Wang Zhifeng was rather helpless. He hung up and went back to his plowing...
"Wei Zhao, do you really know Director Wang? And you two seem pretty close?" Shen Yushu's mouth hung open as she stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief.
"We only met yesterday. We just happened to hit it off." Wei Zhao naturally would not breathe a word about Wang Zhifeng's business, so he answered vaguely.
"Oh!" Shen Yushu cheered. "That's wonderful. From now on, whenever we need to ask for leave, we'll come to you."
Wei Zhao smiled wryly and glanced at Uncle Qing, whose face showed nothing at all. Uncle Qing, it seemed, had long since run out of ways to deal with these two young ladies and simply turned a deaf ear to their class-skipping schemes. So Wei Zhao could only say: "All right."
In his heart, Uncle Qing was once again reassessing Wei Zhao. The young man looked utterly ordinary, yet his wit and courage were beyond question, and now it appeared his social skills were formidable as well... mm, and his way with women too — even Qiu Lingshan, the police beauty...
At that thought, Uncle Qing's head began to ache. These two little princesses — surely they wouldn't fall into his clutches as well? It seemed he ought to find a time to have a proper talk with Mr. Gu about the matter of Wei Zhao.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu got out at the gate of No. 1 High School. Uncle Qing drove on, carrying Wei Zhao toward Songshan City First People's Hospital.
Along the way they passed a China Mobile outlet. Uncle Qing parked in front of it and said to Wei Zhao: "Mr. Lin, you ought to have a phone of your own. Otherwise it's inconvenient to get in touch."
Wei Zhao nodded. True enough — otherwise he couldn't keep borrowing Uncle Qing's phone.
After locking the car, Uncle Qing accompanied Wei Zhao into the outlet.
Inside, a promotional event was underway for "CMREAD" mobile novel reading, with an online writer by the name of "Yu Ren Er Dai" promoting his classic complete work, "Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel." Wei Zhao read the occasional web novel himself, but seeing the crowd packed so tightly around the event, he decided not to join the crush.
It seemed this "Yu Ren Er Dai" fellow had no small number of fans. Wei Zhao decided that once he had bought his phone, he would look the book up.
