Chapter 484: The Matter is Settled Chapter 484: The Matter is Settled Lu Yun ran and charged ahead, declaring his intent. Aside from a few senior-level figures, all the female faculty members at this school were his prey—any old man who dared to offend him would be dealt with firmly! A solid thud! As Lu Yun reached the office of the Education Commissioner, he kicked open the door and strode straight in, only to find the old man carefully combing a few sparse hairs on his head with a comb, gazing into the mirror. Upon hearing the loud impact of the door hitting the wall, the Education Commissioner immediately turned around, seeing Lu Yun storming in with such intensity. He promptly set down the comb and mirror, and with a serious expression asked, “Lu Yun, what on earth is going on? It’s past three in the morning—why aren’t you back in your room? What do you want now? Are you really trying to get me to fire you, just so you can feel satisfied?” Lu Yun halted his momentum, casually closed the door, leaned against the doorframe, and looked at the commissioner with a calm, cool smile, saying, “Director, it’s so late. You’re not sleeping—where are you going? To meet someone for a date, are you?” "Nonsense! Get out of my office right now—otherwise, you'll see what I've got coming. This is from Chapter 484 of the Rural Beauty series." With his leverage firmly in hand, the Director of the Education Commission, suppressing the blazing fury within, sharply rebuked Lu Yun. "Hmph!" Lu Yun scoffed, with disdain. "Fine. Go ahead and fire me tomorrow—though..." What could be more powerful than half-saying it, leaving the threat hanging? Lu Yun clearly resorted once again to his old tactic—using his position as Director to pressure him. That's exactly what he deserved—returning the favor with the same method. The Director's face turned pale with outrage, glaring at Lu Yun, yet deeply puzzled. Earlier, after Lu Yun had caused a scene in his office, he'd been simmering with resentment. As soon as Lu Yun had left, the Director went straight to Zhang Yunqian's office. All the frustration he'd been carrying—stemming from Zhang Yunqian's promotion—had now been fully redirected at Lu Yun. After heading to Zhang Yunqian's office, the old man cut straight to the point and, for a bit of excitement, asked Zhang Yunqian to wait for him behind the tree grove on the playground—without realizing how the current young man had learned about this. Could it be that Zhang Yunqian had already developed a rapport with this young man and was now working together to outplay him? "Good heavens, what an old man! He won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River!" Director, let's put off the thing you'd like me to do for now. I've come so late—not without a reason. I actually have something I'd like to ask you for help with." Lu Yun spoke calmly and neutrally. The Director paused, taken aback. The young man had come so late, not just to drop by, but to seek his assistance. He straightened his posture—something he hadn't done in a while, sat down, lit a cigarette, took a slow draw, and said, "Go on, tell me what it is. Since you've asked me, I'll do my best to help. Of course, there's a condition: you mustn't bring up that incident from that evening again to pressure me. You should know how hard it is for me to be in this position. If you actually escalate it to the higher-ups, you won't have a good outcome either. Besides, you've no solid evidence. Even if someone from above comes down to investigate, they won't believe a word from someone so young like you. This is the content of Chapter 484 of the novel Lu Yun gave a cold smile in his heart. Man, this old man had really gone out of his way to play this game with him—how could he have been so bold if he hadn't had some real confidence? With a calm smile, Lu Yun said, "Director, actually, this matter really only takes one sentence from you. That evening, when you were shouting in the office with Zhang Yunqian, the teacher, she had been eager to become a full-time teacher—something I happened to hear. So, I've come here, a bit awkward, to ask you to help her out." The director felt chilled, staring at Lu Yun. "Why didn't she come herself? This isn't as simple as you're making it out to be. There's a whole series of procedures involved, and I still need to file a report with the higher-ups." "Ah-ha," Lu Yun interrupted, smiling. "Didn't you used to say yourself that you're the top official here—everyone, even the principal, has to give you a respectful nod when they see you? For you, this is just a piece of cake." As for why Zhang didn't come himself, wasn't it because she was afraid of making such a startling noise in the principal's office? "Did I make sense, Director?" Lu Yun's words completely chilled the principal's heart. By timing, after leaving Zhang Yunqian's office, the woman must have gone straight to Lu Yun and informed her about their plan to go to the playground together. How cunning! She had used a child's voice as a means to pressure him! The situation was now clear—while he had intended to move on Zhang Yunqian, she had instead informed Lu Yun of the matter, leaving him exposed and now facing a storm of complications. Moreover, it seemed that Zhang and Lu Yun had already developed a close relationship. If he refused Zhang's promotion, and the matter were to be brought up with higher-ups for investigation, the two would surely speak in unison, leaving him completely at a loss. Cold sweat broke out. In his heart, the Education Commission director had mentally trampled upon Zhang Yunqian a thousand and a thousand times—this stubborn woman never expected him to calculate against her; now she’d just have to wait and be crushed. "Agreed. I’ll take care of this matter. But have her bring over the relevant documents tomorrow—I’ll need them." The Education Commission director stepped back, knowing that as long as he kept his position secure, he’d eventually master and play both the woman and the young boy like a game of cards. "Director, thank you very much. I’ll see you tomorrow." Lu Yun opened the office door and stepped out, not even glancing at the stern, brooding old man. ...
