Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue suddenly said seriously, "Principal, if you really want to thank me, why not agree to a request of mine."

Principal Huang didn’t expect Jiang Xue to say that, and was slightly stunned. Then he quickly came to his senses and asked, "What request? Just tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"Principal, you don’t even ask clearly, and you just agree like that. Aren’t you afraid I’ll make things difficult for you?" Jiang Xue looked at how straightforward Principal Huang was and couldn’t help but tease him with a smile.

"Are you that kind of person?" Principal Huang was stunned again and looked at Jiang Xue, saying, "I can’t think of anything you could do to make things difficult for me."

"Okay, I admit defeat." Jiang Xue was a bit deflated and then said, "But the principal is right, I wouldn’t possibly make things difficult for you. Moreover, my request is really not a big deal for the principal."

"Alright, stop beating around the bush. Just make your request." Principal Huang waved his hand with a smile and said.

"Since that’s the case, then I’ll really say it." Jiang Xue had an expression as if telling the principal not to regret it, which rendered Principal Huang speechless. "Go ahead, go ahead, let me hear exactly what request you have."

"It’s not a big deal." Jiang Xue originally just wanted to give it a try, but now she had to say it. Moreover, she felt the opportunity was rare, and if she brought it up again next time, Principal Huang might not agree.

So, she glanced at Principal Huang and said, "Principal, it’s like this. As you know, I’m married, have a child, and there are many things to handle at home. So I was thinking, could I self-study at home and just take the exams directly when the time comes."

"What did you say?" Principal Huang looked at Jiang Xue in shock and asked, "You want to self-study?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xue nodded. She had considered this for a long time. She had been hesitating before, but after being troubled by Luo Weiwei and others, Jiang Xue kept thinking about this.

Principal Huang looked at Jiang Xue and then said sincerely, "Jiang Xue, I cannot agree to your request."

"Why?" Jiang Xue was stunned and looked at him. She thought this wasn’t a difficult thing, so why couldn’t Principal Huang agree?

"Jiang Xue, although you’re married, you’re still young. And since you’ve been able to stay in school for over a month, it means you’ve already arranged things at home. So, saying you’re busy because of the child is just an excuse."

"Yes, you’re excellent, and your self-study results are good. But the stuff you learn by yourself is different from what teachers teach. Unless there’s a special situation, I suggest you come to class every day."

"Principal, from what you’re saying, does it mean if I have a special situation, I can take a leave?" Jiang Xue didn’t hear much else, but she remembered this sentence, so she took the opportunity to ask.

"You?" Principal Huang was speechless at Jiang Xue’s question. He glared at her, then looked away and said, "I said so much, did you only hear that one sentence?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "I understand what you mean, Principal, but I feel like spending time in class is a bit of a waste. To be honest, I want to take a leave to self-study not because of the child, but because I’m starting a business."

Jiang Xue felt that to get Principal Huang to make an exception and agree to her request, it was better to be honest. So she told him everything about her starting a business.

"What did you say?" Principal Huang was shocked once again and asked, "You’re starting a business? What kind of business?"
