“This means that there were people in the academy who are dissatisfied with Liang Wenli’s rule.

“This is normal. She had been the principal for 28 years, and she was like a mountain blocking the hope of others to improve.

“Other than the traitor that made Principal Liang’s heart turn cold, I guess there’s another main reason. It’s her personal love history.”

Wei Yanping was particularly enthusiastic when it came to gossip. He even felt that the amount was a little too much.

“Lord, do you know Liang Wenli’s family situation?”

Ning Shi shook his head. He did not pay attention to these details. Wei Yanping said, “Principal Liang has a harmonious family. Her husband is called Yu Qian, and he used to be the Vice Principal of the Norse Republic Academy.

“She and Yu Qian have two sons and one daughter, and nine grandchildren.

“Principal Liang and Yu Qian treated each other with respect and went hand in hand. Their marriage had always been envied by everyone.

“Five years ago, the republic’s government even awarded them the title of model husband and wife.

“Little did anyone know that Principal Liang, who appeared to be a saint in front of others, was also secretly restless.

“She was keeping a lover behind her husband’s back!

“In her third year as principal, when she was 46 years old, she fell in love with her student, Wu Yisheng!

“The two of them developed a deformed relationship that was not allowed by the secular world.”

After Wei Yanping finished talking about this secret, he looked up at Ning Shi, wanting to see a shocked expression on his face, but Ning Shi felt nothing.

This kind of thing was not a big deal.

Once a person had power, regardless of gender, they would do something out of line.

Ning Shi had seen all kinds of gossip on Saturn and was already immune to these things.

Ning Shi was not surprised that the 46-year-old female principal was fooling around with an 18-year-old student. He still said calmly, “Do many people know about this relationship?”

Wei Yanping shook his head. “Principal Liang hid this matter very well. The outside world doesn’t know about it. The reason why I know about it is because of my identity as a spy. I have the habit and need to collect information.

“Once, when I was drinking with Wu Yisheng, I deliberately made him drunk. It was only through his drunken words that I learned this secret.

“Wu Yisheng is a good person, but he loves to drink, and his alcohol tolerance is not good.

“He really loves Principal Liang, so he’s very depressed about being Principal Liang’s secret lover. I reckon that other than me, he must have drunk and told others about this depression.”

Ning Shi understood and said, ‘You mean that there’s a mole in the academy. This mole also knows about Liang Wenli and Wu Yisheng’s abnormal relationship and might have some evidence.

‘The Archon and the others used this matter to threaten Liang Wenli.

“If Liang Wenli did not retire, her scandal will be exposed. This will be a devastating blow to the highly respected Liang Wenli.

‘Liang Wenli has no choice but to retire.”

Wei Yanping nodded and said, “That’s right. That’s exactly what happened.

Because of Liang Wenli’s influence, the Archon didn’t want to fall out with her.

Therefore, he didn’t release the scandal and fought Liang Wenli to death.

Instead, he used threats.’

Ning Shi saw that Wei Yanping’s expression was a little agitated and excited. He asked directly, ‘ISO you think that you’ll have a chance to fight for the position of principal after Liang Wenli retires?

‘Yes, Lord Ning,” Wei Yanping said. “If I become the principal, it’s equivalent to you and the power behind you controlling the entire academy.”

‘This is also a great thing for you.’

Ning Shi had to admit that Wei Yanping was right. Ning Shi’s main storyline mission was to completely control the power of the Norse Republic. If Wei Yanping could become the principal, then Ning Shi would indirectly control one-third of the power of the republic.

However, it was very difficult for Wei Yanping to be the principal, so Ning Shi had to pour cold water on him first.

‘Judging from the current situation, the probability of you taking over the position of principal is very low.

‘Wu Yisheng and Pang Yuanqing have the most advantage at the moment. Wu Yisheng was Liang Wenli’s spokesperson. Even if Liang Wenli is willing to retire, she will definitely not be willing to give up her power completely. She would definitely want her lover, Wu Yisheng, to be her successor.

‘There is also Pang Yuanqing. Since he is a mole, he must have completely sided with the Hawk Faction. With the support of the Archon and the

Quartermaster, and with Liang Wenli’s weakness in his hands, there was a high chance that he would take over.

‘I as for you and Teny, you’re just two bystanders.”

Wei Yanping also knew that his chances were not high, but he did not want to give up, so he said to Ning Shi with a smile.

‘That’s why I need your help.”

Ning Shi did not comment, but asked, “What are the rules of the principal election?”

Wei Yanping explained, “This year’s principal election will have four Vice Principals as candidates. The school board will publicly vote for them. The person with the most votes will be the principal.

‘There are a total of 51 candidates for the school board, and there is a chairman and two vice chairmen. The chairman’s vote is equal to 10 votes, and the vice chairman’s vote is equal to 5 votes.

‘The current chairman is Principal Liang Wenli, and the vice chairmen are Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong.

‘The rest of the school committee members each have one vote, so the entire school committee has 68 votes. It’s worth mentioning that the four of us Vice Principals are also members of the school committee, so we also have one vote.”

Ning Shi looked at Wei Yanping and continued to ask, ‘Without my help, how many votes can you get?”

Wei Yanping rubbed his hands awkwardly and replied, “Eight votes, including my own vote. I can get a total of eight votes..’
