Only then did Du Heng speak plainly, which just made Wang Pan blush profusely. However, hearing Du Heng speak so frankly—especially since Du Heng had clearly stated his position and showed no aversion—made Wang Pan feel greatly relieved.
Wang Pan took a deep breath and, although blushing, said seriously, "Mr. Du, don't misunderstand. I'm not speaking up for my own family."
"Principal, please just tell me," Du Heng said, his smiling appearance continuing to put Wang Pan at ease. "For you to approach me like this, it must be about someone who's put you in a difficult position. Otherwise, an upright leader like yourself would never make such a request, would you? If it's something troubling you, Principal, then as one of your own, I can't let you remain troubled."
These words struck a chord with Wang Pan, and a sense of helplessness washed over him. "The academician I mentioned earlier, Academician Sun Jiaxiang—his grandson is Sun Renqi."
