Tangyu was certainly aware of this, but he knew even better that the principal's intention in doing so was to firmly keep him at Linshan Middle School. This way, even if he wasn't going to be the school doctor at Linshan Traditional Chinese Medicine anymore, he would still be associated with Linshan Middle School, given the title of honorary principal and the added bonus of a statue.
Tangyu shook his head and said, "I appreciate the principal's kindness and am very grateful for everyone's misguided love, but I really don't deserve to be the honorary principal. I am truly unworthy. And as for the statue, that's even more out of the question. I'm still young; I don't want people to worship me as if I were dead."
"Ah, modesty is a virtue in a young person, but don't be too modest. You're completely qualified to be the honorary principal, and absolutely no one will object," the principal said.
