Several students wrote to Principal Bai, expressing their determination to work outside to help their families. The frustrated Principal Bai went to drink with Defu, and Defu's words that working outside also had benefits angered Principal Bai, who drove Defu out of the house. Principal Bai went to the Education Bureau to solve the problem but to no avail. He was also persuaded to actively cooperate with the choir competition. Disheartened, he decided to take the children to participate in the choir competition. Facing a pair of eager eyes, Principal Bai decided to participate in the choir competition regardless of the number limit. In order to purchase school uniforms for the competition, Principal Bai sold the four computers donated by the Maimiao factory and used the proceeds to repair the playground. Maimiao brought the factory leaders to the school to accompany him to investigate further assistance matters.
