The school leader's smile froze, then morphed into a forced grin. With so many eyes watching and ears listening, he couldn't simply ignore the question, nor could he admit that he was unable to answer.
The audacity of the boy was astounding. He could have answered the question directly, but by asking it publicly, he was essentially seeking the school's approval. From then on, even if he said something he shouldn't, the school would have no grounds to reprimand him.
However, the school leader was confident. In Guangcheng, students from the First Bilingual Primary School were always praised wherever they went. He was genuinely curious as to what could possibly tarnish their reputation.
After some thought, he responded, "Don't worry, speak freely. If there is indeed an issue, it will serve as a lesson for all of us, pushing us to guide our students in a more scientific direction."
