Chapter 2178 The Ning Family’s Power

"Ms. Ning, this way please."

After knocking three times on the office door, the secretary opened it and said to Ning Dan.

Ning Dan nodded slightly and walked into the office. The secretary quickly closed the door.

As for what was discussed in it, he had no way of knowing.

Looking back, the secretary saw Lu Yue outside, who was carefully peeping at what was happening in the office, through the crack in the door. He quickly stepped forward and closed the door.

When faced with students like Lu Yue and Ye Ye, who had no background at all, the secretary's attitude was naturally quite cold, even a bit arrogant. He might speak to them in a condescending tone, appearing impatient or dismissive of their questions or requests.

However, when it came to Ning Dan, the situation was completely different. As a junior of the Ning family, although Ning Dan didn't qualify to be the family heir, her status within the family was still not to be underestimated. After all, she was the one who could live in the Ning family mansion, which in itself demonstrated her importance within the family.

Furthermore, Ning Dan's father held a certain position within the Ning family, forcing the secretary to be extra cautious in her dealings with her. Even if Ning Dan's own feelings weren't considered, the family power behind her had to be considered. Therefore, the secretary's attitude towards Ning Dan would certainly be much better than towards Lu Yue and Ye Ye, at least showing due respect and courtesy.

After entering the cubicle, Sheng Wu was watching short videos on his laptop with a smile on his face. When he heard a knock on the door, he looked towards the door, thinking that it was the teacher downstairs coming to report to him. However, when he saw it was Ning Dan, Sheng Wu instinctively raised his eyebrows slightly.

If we were to ask who these leaders in administrative positions are most afraid of seeing in the college, it would be the children of these big families.

They are inexperienced and act eccentrically. The key is that their family backgrounds are extremely strong. If you come to them for help, if they handle it well, everything will be peaceful and they may even do you a favor. If they don't handle it well, troubles will ensue.

The key point is that he is the vice president of the Huaguo Starship Academy and should be in a high position of power. He should be flattering ordinary children from aristocratic families, but Ning Dan in front of him is a different matter.

"You are Ning Dan, right? Hahaha, I've heard that a little princess from the Ning family is going to enroll in our academy. Is your father in good health recently? I'm pretty familiar with your father. Come, take a seat."

When Sheng Wu saw Ning Dan, he showed a formal smile on his face and spoke with a little enthusiasm.

The photos of those difficult children from aristocratic families were placed on their desks early on. This was also the academy's advance preparation, although Sheng Wu knew Ning Dan.

When Ning Dan heard Sheng Wu's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she sat down opposite Sheng Wu with confidence. As for Sheng Wu's polite words, Ning Dan pretended not to hear them.

Was he familiar with her father? She had never heard her father mention it, and most likely they had only met a few times in public.

And as far as Ning Dan knew, Sheng Wu, as the vice president of the Huaguo Starship Academy, had always been a member of the Li family's faction within the academy. Although he couldn't be said to be at odds with their Ning family, they were definitely not familiar with each other.

"Hello, Vice Principal Sheng Wu. I've heard my father talk about you before. I came to see you this time mainly to discuss something with you."

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person, and Ning Dan also had to respect the vice president of the college, but Ning Dan seemed not to be used to speaking this kind of "official language" and spoke directly to the point.

When Sheng Wu heard Ning Dan's words, he continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"Oh? The little princess of the Ning family came to ask me for help, so I must take it seriously!"

Sheng Wu determined the nature of Ning Dan's purpose in just one sentence.

Ask me to do something! And he didn't agree to too much. If Ning Dan made any excessive requests, Sheng Wu would have room to refuse.

Moreover, when asking someone to do something for you, you have to owe them a favor.

Ning Dan is not qualified enough to ask Sheng Wude for a favor. Once he really helps Ning Dan, the one who will be doing the favor is the Ning family behind Ning Dan.

Hearing Sheng Wu's subtext, Ning Dan was not a fool and instantly understood Sheng Wu's tone. However, thinking of his father's instructions, Ning Dan's expression remained unchanged.

"Then you have to take it seriously. This is not my personal request, but my family's."

If Sheng Wu was at ease facing Ning Dan just now, he seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this sentence.

These second-generations are not fools. Except for some stupid second-generations, no one dares to do things under the name of the family every day. If Ning Dan's reason changes from an individual to a family, Sheng Wu will not dare to put on airs.

"But it doesn't matter."

Sheng Wu pondered for a long time and then spoke, his expression becoming much more serious.

"Is such that...."

Ning Dan briefly stated her request. After listening to it, Sheng Wu's eyes showed a hint of astonishment, confusion, and a hint of bewilderment.

Seeing that Sheng Wu seemed to be thinking, Ning Dan did not say anything and just sat there quietly waiting.

To be honest, Ning Dan was also helpless. If it wasn't for Sheng Wu who happened to be in charge of all matters related to the freshman assessment, she wouldn't have come here to make trouble. Their Ning family did have people in the academy, but compared to the Li family who had deep roots in the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Starship and the China Starship Academy, their Ning family's power was still a little weaker.

"I know about this matter. Please go back. I will inform you when there is a letter."

Sheng Wu thought for a long time and did not make a decision directly. Instead, he played Tai Chi and asked Ning Dan to go back and wait for news.

Ning Dan was unwilling to hear Sheng Wu say this.

"You'd better give me an accurate answer right now, otherwise I won't be able to report to my family..."

Ning Dan is also a smart person, so she naturally understood what Sheng Wu meant by wanting to play football.

Leave? If he left like this, Sheng Wu would probably notify the Li family immediately. If the Li family insisted on not letting Ye Ye participate in the assessment, he might not be able to find Sheng Wu again before the assessment started.

"The main reason is that Ye Ye and the others violated the school rules. Otherwise..."

"From what I understand, it seems someone started the fight first, and Ye Ye was just defending himself legitimately. But the person who actually violated the school rules still retains the qualification to take the assessment, right?"

Ning Dan didn't let Sheng Wu finish his words and interrupted him directly with a righteous and stern expression, as if she was not among the people who targeted Ye Ye.

Sheng Wu was a little unhappy about being interrupted by Ning Dan. Although you have the Ning family behind you, you are just a junior of the Ning family and not from the core branch. Sheng Wu felt ashamed.

"I heard that the old patriarch of our Ning family has returned and is taking this matter very seriously. If I don't handle it well, I'm afraid I'll be punished according to the family rules when I return. Principal Sheng, please help me..."

Seeing that Sheng Wu was unmoved, Ning Dan pretended to be pitiful and dropped a bombshell.

When Sheng Wu heard Ning Dan's words, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The Ning family's old patriarch returned? At this time?
