208 Lessons (Second Update)

Ming Jing looked at the principal, then at Jessica Feng, smiled, and nodded. "Good, you have given me a lesson today."

"When I came in through the school gate, I saw a couplet hanging there. It reads 'It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred to make a difference in people.' I wonder, Principal, do you still remember these eight characters?"

Ming Jing's clear and calm gaze made the principal almost unable to look directly at her. The meaning behind her words filled him with immense shame and he was silent.

Many times, he felt helpless in his position.

"May I ask, Principal, what is your school's motto?"

Before the principal could respond, Ming Chen immediately voiced out, "Upholding virtues and pursuing truth, honesty and love, forging the will to be strong, unity and progress."

The sweet, clear voice of the little girl echoed inside the office, leaving the room silent for a moment.
