The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 140: 054 Imperial Tutor, the true strength of Bai Lian_3

Lance began to ask, “Can you speak English?”

Bai Lian: “No.”

Bai Lian closed her phone, yet her face remained composed.

She indeed knew a bit of foreign languages because she needed to understand others’ languages to study their items, but she only spoke and typed in Chinese.

You don’t understand?

Then it had nothing to do with her.

Yang Lin was much better today, and the bruising on her arm had disappeared, she went to the milk tea shop with Bai Lian.

She went there for a part-time job.

Jiang He waited for Bai Lian at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

Ming Dongheng did not accompany Jiang He, the one waiting with Jiang He for Bai Lian was Director Chen.

“Miss Bai,” Director Chen was on the phone. When he saw Bai Lian, he said something to the person on the other end, put down the phone, but still had a worried look on his face.

Jiang He stood up, walked over to Bai Lian, and grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Bai Lian didn’t want to talk much with Director Chen, but remembering that he had given Ji Heng tobacco the day before, she set down her backpack and asked lazily, “Ran into some trouble?”

“Yeah,” Director Chen didn’t guard against Bai Lian and just vented to her, “I’m working on Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism, lots of relics needing restoration, the clash between workers and the police force yesterday… it’s blowing up online…”

Some media had fermented the situation.

This incident had a terrible impact on Xiangcheng.

On one hand, they said the wretched terrain breeds troublemakers, on the other, they said the local police department was corrupt.

The incident itself was overly sensitive.

Director Chen wondered whether to entirely lock down the news and stop journalists from reporting on it.

Of course, he only wanted to vent at the moment and wasn’t expecting advice from Bai Lian.

As Bai Lian walked toward the library, she listened quietly. Only after he finished did she look at Director Chen, “It’s best not to block this issue.”

“Huh?”

Director Chen looked at Bai Lian in surprise.

Bai Lian unpleasingly looked back at him, her almond eyes misty, “Blocking is worse than channeling. As an administrator, what you want isn’t to shut people up, but to show that survival is fundamental to the common people, to openly investigate…”

She laid out a clear strategy for Director Chen.

Finally, she extended a pale finger, lightly tapped Director Chen’s chest, and lazily turned her head with a smile, “There’s no absolute in law. You represent authority, credibility, so never let yourself lose the power of speech.”

Director Chen rarely discussed such matters with anyone.

Ming Dongheng couldn’t understand; Jiang Fulai didn’t have the time to talk about it with him…

He never imagined that he’d hear these insights from a high school senior.

It was like breaking through layers of fog.

“I understand,” Director Chen straightened up, now looking at Bai Lian with a touch of respect, “Thank you, Miss Bai!”

This “Miss Bai” was more respectful than any he had said before.

The library was one stop away from the school, and Bai Lian walked there because she was talking with Director Chen.

The two of them talked about a lot more in bits and pieces.

Upon reaching Xiangcheng Library, Director Chen respectfully saw Bai Lian off as she went in, his heart shocked from his first casual chat with her.

Many strategies she spoke of were enlightening.

If Bai Lian wasn’t clearly a high school senior, he couldn’t help but wonder, had she been an official?

Otherwise, where had she learned such art of governance?

After Bai Lian entered the library, he took out his phone, calling his people, “Have you found any good tobacco yet? Make it quick!”

After giving orders,

Director Chen opened the chat with Ming Dongheng.

He faintly sensed a broad and open path spreading out before him.

Chen Yongkun: “Mr. Ming, what does Miss Bai like to eat?”

Chen Yongkun: “What are her hobbies in daily life?”

Chen Yongkun: “Besides Guzheng, what else does she like to do?”

Ming Dongheng just sent back two characters: “Suicidal?”

Director Chen, who was furiously typing:

Damn it, this guy’s sharp when he shouldn’t be and as oblivious as a dog when he needs to be sharp!

Unbelievable.

Well, he might as well put more effort into his work with Mr. Ji.

Of course, Director Chen wouldn’t know

Bai Lian’s teacher was Liang Zewen, the Emperor’s Teacher, the greatest Prime Minister through the ages, who taught the Emperor’s Technique and practiced the way of the world.

His students included one who became an Emperor; could the other one be far behind?
