Chapter 247 Punishment
Principal Nian dared to say that if Chu Zisongâs uncle by marriage, who is a county education bureau chief, knew that his brother-in-law had dared to offend someone related to Beijing, he wouldnât dare to cover for him!
That is the reality.
Just when he thought Vice Commander Cheng took an interest in Jiang Mengyu, now Shen Qi tells him that Jiang Mengyu actually has a fiancé who is an entrepreneur!
It appeared he had misunderstood. Vice Commander Cheng was speaking on behalf of Gu Dongxing.
When he looked at Chu Zisong again, his gaze was filled with undisguised disgust.
"Chu Zisong, someone has reported the incident from last year when you insisted on expelling Qiu Ziyin, which led to Qiu Ziyinâs suicide. Coupled with your recent actions of expelling a student without the School Committeeâs agreement, the School Committee has already made arrangements. Your duties will be suspended, and Director Xiao Rong will temporarily take over. Please hand over your work."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zisong was greatly shocked: "Principal Nian, you canât do this, my uncle by marriage will notâ"
Principal Nian interrupted him: "Your uncle by marriage will agree!"
Chu Zisong was stunned. How could Principal Nian be so sure that his uncle by marriage would agree?
In fact, when the students mentioned Qiu Ziyin last Saturday, he was a bit worried, and he had thought about altering the School Committeeâs minutes.
But when he went to find the minutes from last yearâs School Committee meeting, they were nowhere to be found, and even the voting slips from that time were missing.
He had asked the Director of the office, but the old Director had been transferred. The new Director had looked for them but hadnât found anything. She said, "The old Director burned a lot of materials when he left; perhaps those were accidentally burnt as well."
At that time, he thought to himself, "Itâs better if itâs burnt, then they canât be found."
Although the expulsion of Qiu Ziyin was due to his insistence, and he got several Deputy Principals to vote, he wasnât the Principal. As long as the records were gone, if someone were to be held accountable, the Principal would be, or at worst, the Deputy Principals, not him.
Unexpectedly, the Principal is now using last yearâs expulsion incident to suspend him!
How could this be allowed? No, he had to go to see his uncle by marriage!
Chu Zisong, who was suspended, left in a fury.
Jiang Mengyu and Shen Qi looked at each other. They had not expected Principal Nian to suspend Chu Zisong.
Wasnât Principal Nian always very indulgent towards Chu Zisong?
But no matter, as long as their goal was achieved, that was all that mattered.
Principal Nian then turned around, looking at Jiang Mengyu and Shen Qi: "Regarding the spreading of rumors by Jiang Huaiyu and the rumor-mongering by students Xiao Hua, Wang Ya, and Lin Yuying, the School Committee has also made a decision. Jiang Huaiyu will be given a demerit, and Xiao Hua, Wang Ya, and Lin Yuying will be warned."
He paused, then looked at Jiang Mengyu and continued: "Regarding the issue of Jiang Huaiyu impersonating you and attending the university, the School Committee has decided on a serious demerit. Since the school has not expelled her, she can continue her high school education until graduation.
As for whether she will be able to apply for university, that decision does not lie with the school, but with the higher education authorities. If the higher education authorities issue a notice that she is not allowed to take the university entrance exams, we will strictly enforce it."
The implication was, without notice from above, they were not in a position to cancel Jiang Huaiyuâs eligibility for the university entrance exams.
Jiang Mengyu sighed: "I understand, thank you, Principal."
Regardless, this outcome is already decent. Jiang Huaiyu has a demerit and a serious demerit on her record in school, a stain that will follow her for life.
Of course, if she has connections, itâs very possible it will be cleared when she graduates.
But itâs not fun to take her down all at once. Might as well play the long game with her, no rush on our end.
