Chapter 158: 152, Xiao Ru’s Transfer Diary (Subscription Monthly Ticket Requested)
Understand the situation? What situation?
When Lu Lin carried out the mission that day, everything he did could be considered flawless. The only issue was with the broken knife. It had absorbed the Kongming White Ape’s Life Energy and Star Power to repair Lu Lin’s left arm, which Mi Yan had destroyed.
Mi Yan and the other two had already been transferred to the Detective Department, so the only possibility was that the Kongming White Ape had said something.
Exotic beasts are an organized and cultured force within the Exotic Battlefield civilization.
Although most exotic beasts lack wisdom, it was obvious that the little white ape did not fall into this category.
It possessed the Soul Splitting Skill book, which meant it could read, possessed intelligence, and was capable of communication.
So that’s it. It must have been the Kongming White Ape that leaked this information, and headquarters sent researchers to inquire after learning about it.
Lu Lin couldn’t help but silently praise his decision to join the Star Investigation Office.
If I weren’t an insider at the Star Investigation Office, Long Qianli wouldn’t have given me advance notice, and I might have been summoned for questioning by now.
However, how should I deal with the investigator from headquarters?
Lu Lin pondered this, not noticing that Long Qianli had ended the communication.
"You have a new communication request; do you want to accept it?"
Hmm?
Lu Lin paused for a moment, then answered Zhou Ziqiang’s call.
"Mr. Lu, have you eaten?"
"I found a school for Xiao Ru this afternoon; would you like to come and see it?"
Zhou Ziqiang had been on Alien for two days. He was most anxious about Xiao Ru’s situation.
After visiting numerous places, he had finally found two suitable elementary schools.
"Sure, Xiao Ru is my little sister too. Wait for me at home; I’ll be right back."
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Lu."
Zhou Ziqiang hung up the phone.
Lu Lin decided to stop thinking about the investigator from headquarters. I’ll just deal with whatever comes my way when the time arrives.
He met Zhou Ziqiang and Xiao Ru at No. 11 Keming Street, where they marveled at Lu Lin’s car.
Zhou Ziqiang announced the name of the elementary school selected for the disciples, and Lu Lin set the destination.
Chongnuo Thirty-Sixth Elementary School.
Lu Lin watched as Zhou Ziqiang offered a sycophantic smile to the enrollment teacher, pleading with him to accept Xiao Ru.
But the teacher’s attitude was unclear. He was evasive and kept introducing the basics of Chongnuo Thirty-Sixth Elementary School, seeming reluctant to accept Xiao Ru.
"Teacher, does the school have enrollment spots or not? Please give us a straight answer," Xiao Ru couldn’t help but step forward and say.
"Oh, don’t worry, my little friend," the teacher said with a chuckle. "Whether there are spots isn’t up to me; that’s decided by the school board. Regarding your situation, I need to go back and discuss it with the school’s senior level."
"After all, we are a proper elementary school; we don’t just accept anyone..."
"Brother, let’s go."
Xiao Ru didn’t wait for the teacher to finish, pulling Zhou Ziqiang away.
Zhou Ziqiang had no choice but to smile at the enrollment teacher before leaving.
"Xiao Ru, what are you doing? Transferring schools requires asking for favors. If your attitude is so harsh, what will you do if you can’t get into any school?" Zhou Ziqiang complained.
He was well aware that the enrollment teacher was playing hard to get because he wanted some kind of benefit.
But neither he nor Xiao Ru had any income at the moment, and they were still living at Lu Lin’s house.
Staying for a short period was acceptable, but it wouldn’t be appropriate long-term.
Zhou Ziqiang was thinking of buying a smaller house for himself and Xiao Ru to move into, so naturally, he was unwilling to waste money on the enrollment teacher at this time.
"If I can’t get into a school, then so be it! Brother, haven’t you learned in school that ’an honest person does not accept food given in disdain’?"
"We can’t indulge such annoying and insatiably greedy people."
Hearing Xiao Ru’s reasoning, Lu Lin nodded. "She’s right. Ziqiang, didn’t you say there was another school? Let’s go check it out."
"Okay."
Zhou Ziqiang reluctantly nodded and gave the address of another elementary school.
"Chongnuo City Experimental Elementary School."
The enrollment teacher at this school had a much better attitude. A kind woman received them.
However, after hearing Zhou Ziqiang’s purpose, the female teacher looked troubled.
Their experimental elementary school had good teaching quality and a strong reputation. They were full of students every year.
Not only were all spots for new students filled, but the transfer quota was also full.
Zhou Ziqiang and Xiao Ru could only walk out with helpless expressions.
The teaching building, facilities, and teachers at the experimental elementary school were all excellent. However, such a good school was already full, and there was nothing they could do.
"It’s okay, Xiao Ru. These two schools are just the closest ones. We’ll look for some farther away later," Lu Lin comforted.
"Anyway, public transportation is very convenient now. I can just drop you off and pick you up from school every day."
"Alright, I guess that’s the only way," Xiao Ru nodded sensibly.
Although she usually teased her older brother, Zhou Ziqiang, she knew in her heart that he still loved her.
"Hold on, let me call someone and ask," Lu Lin said.
There aren’t many people I know in Chongnuo City. There’s Director Long from the Star Investigation Office, Sister Long from the War God Alliance... Xia Jinwu is a good person, but I wouldn’t send Xiao Ru to Feibei City for school.
I should call Director Long first and ask.
"Director Long, does our Star Investigation Office have an affiliated elementary school?"
An expression of disbelief appeared on Long Qianli’s face.
"No."
"Oh, alright then. My friend’s little sister is transferring from Blue Star. We’ve visited two schools; one wasn’t satisfactory, and the other was full."
"I’m going to ask Sister Long now. I’ll hang up."
