The principal's office was ahead, and an old man and a young man went straight to the reception area, sitting face to face.
"Uncle Shen, I refused your call yesterday because at that moment... there was a situation on my end that urgently needed to be resolved, so I couldn't attend to it. I hope you won't take it to heart."
At that moment, there was no one else in the room, and the door was closed. Li Zishen then spoke frankly.
"Has the matter been resolved?"
As he spoke, Shen Zhiyuan had just finished making tea, so he slowly handed it to Li Zishen.
His focus wasn't on the apology, but on whether the issue had been resolved, which made Li Zishen feel a father-like care once again.
"Yes, it's resolved."
"That's good, drink some water to soothe your throat."
In fact, Shen Zhiyuan had long anticipated Li Zishen's decision to refuse the school anniversary celebration.
