Chapter 79: Conflict (4)
"Wow, Xiao Han, you're really something!" All the way, Luo Hui seemed to be unable to hold back his excitement, gesticulating as he spoke: "That Teacher Liu is a notorious busybody in school, always chattering away like she's some kind of Pacific Ocean police officer."
Compared to the school's tyrant Lin Ge, he completely doesn't put these ordinary teachers in his eyes. However, even so, he absolutely doesn't dare to directly confront them like Leng Bing Xue, not giving them any face at all, this is after all an attitude problem, if things get out of hand, it won't be good for himself either.
Xiao Wei couldn't help but look at Leng Bing Han with some concern, for her, this kind of confrontation with the teacher was unthinkable, it was something she didn't even dare to think about before. However, somehow it felt familiar, and a thought that even she herself found absurd began to emerge in her mind.
Leng Bing Han didn't say anything, only silently smiled, and a hint of an inexplicable expression flashed in his eyes.
Afternoon just got to work, Liu Su Ying teacher couldn't wait to go to the teaching director's office. She knew that this teaching director had some background and was absolutely merciless towards disciplinary events. After listening to her words, he would certainly be furious and severely punish the student. Being able to borrow the director's hand to punish this bad student would be perfect.
"This situation is simply too terrible, the impact is too bad. Not only were students injured, but it also ignored the teacher's education. If such students are not severely punished, how can we correct the school atmosphere and calm public outrage? The parents of the students also strongly protested against this and questioned our school's educational environment..." She spoke with flying spittle, grandiose and stirring, with a sense of righteousness in her words.
She could wait until she was tongue-tied and stopped, but unexpectedly found that Director Wu didn't have the slightest reaction she had expected.
Wu Qinghua quietly drank her tea, not making a sound, until she stopped and slowly said: "The thing you're talking about happened outside of school, right?"
Liu Suying was stunned for a moment, listening to Director Wu's words, which seemed to be pushing the matter outward. This didn't seem like his usual character? Could it be that he had heard about Luo Hui being involved and had some concerns? But that didn't seem right either, as Luo Hui had been dealt with several times before, and at the time, Director Wu hadn't shown any hesitation.
She thought for a moment and continued, "Although it happened outside of school, both parties are students at the school. The school can't just ignore this situation, right?" She then carefully reminded him, "The injured Sun Zhengfei is the son of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. And three other students' families are also... we mustn't be careless."
On the surface, she was kindly reminding him, but in reality, she hoped to put some pressure on this director through this, so that things would develop in the direction she had expected. In this way, she could also call Sun Peng and several parents of children to sell them a favor.
Wu Qinghua furrowed his brow, took a slow sip of water, and then lowered his head to ponder: "Teacher Liu, did you personally see them fighting?"
"This...” Liu Suying awkwardly opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She didn't dare to speak nonsense about this matter. If she had been at the scene at that time, how could she explain why she hadn't stopped it? But if she hadn't been at the scene, how could she explain why she had just sworn that things were as she said they were? This old fox was waiting for her after all.
Wu Qinghua slammed the cup in his hand heavily onto the table, causing Liu Su'ying's heart to skip a beat. Then he said sternly: "Teacher Liu, it's not me saying this, but as teachers, we should first take a fair and just stance when making judgments. You didn't even see it with your own eyes, so how could you say all those things about the student being bad and vicious? How can you be so arbitrary? You can't just listen to one side of the story!"
"You're the teacher, but don't just rely on your own likes and dislikes to label our students. We need to believe that all of our students are good students unless there's solid evidence to prove otherwise. Alright, I understand this matter now, I'll investigate and handle it, you can go ahead and attend to other things." With that, Wu Qinghua just kept her head down, dealing with the documents in her hand, completely ignoring Liu Su'e who still had some unspoken resentment.
Having failed to achieve her goal, Liu Suying could only walk out dejectedly, still cursing and complaining about the instructor in her heart. However, after walking out the door and being blown by the cold wind, she seemed to have sobered up a lot and couldn't help but ponder Wu Qinghua's attitude. This dark-faced killer god today completely didn't have the usual killing aura, was it that he had an opinion about herself or was there some other reason?
If it's just a normal attitude towards work, then there's no problem. But if you have opinions about yourself, trouble can be big. Whether it's evaluating excellence or promotion, the head of teaching has great suggestion power. Offending him is not beneficial, even if you've established relationships with students' parents. A local official is not as good as a current manager. As long as he can't take you down from class, he'll have plenty of opportunities and ways to deal with you.
But why would he have an opinion about himself? Just because he came to him and said this thing? Doesn't he want to intervene in his work? But if he can't handle this matter, not only will he lose face, but how will the Sun family look at him? Thinking of the student's condescending and dismissive attitude towards her at noon, she was furious. She gritted her teeth and turned back to the principal's office. As for whether this move would offend Director Wu, she couldn't care less now. Wealth and honor are sought in danger, she staked everything, she didn't believe that involving several students with a big background, the principal could still remain calm like the head teacher.
Before long, Principal Qian Youwei slowly walked into Wu Qinghua's office.
"Ah, Principal, what's the matter? Just tell me and I'll go report it. Why did you come over personally?" Wu Qinghua hastily stood up to greet him and even picked up the tea leaves container to personally make tea for Qian Youwei.
Qian waved his hand and said kindly: "Old Wu, let's not be polite to each other. It's nothing, just a casual visit, come sit down."
Principal Wu was being polite, but he couldn't help but keep a distance. Wu Qinghua still made tea for Qian Youwei and sat down beside him, saying: "The principal usually doesn't come here without a reason, I suppose you've heard that I have good tea here and came specifically to drink it?"
"Ah, looks like I'm in luck today! I've been craving the tea leaves here for a long time." Qian Youwei said with a smile. He picked up his teacup and savored it carefully, then praised: "Hmm, this is the new Yunwu tea, very fragrant, refreshing, and must be a gift from your relative?"
"Haha, of course, otherwise how could I afford to drink?" Wu Qinghua said with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Qian Youwei suddenly changed the subject and said: "Just now, Teacher Liu came to find me." After saying that, he took a glance at Wu Qinghua, seeing that Wu Qinghua was just drinking tea without any reaction, as if waiting for his next words. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This old Wu is really calm.
Wu Qinghua didn't take the bait, he just took another sip of tea and continued to speak with a sigh: "She told me some things, I'm not worried about how you handle things. It's just that you also know, those parents are very troublesome, no one can afford to offend them. My office phone is almost ringing off the hook from their calls, it's not like I can answer or ignore them, so I came here to sit for a bit, just to take refuge."
Wu Qinghua smiled lightly and thought to herself: You're not here to take refuge, you're just here to test the waters. However, she still said: "So the principal is worried about this matter, I thought it was something big. If there's anything else, just push it my way."
"I think you must know the inside story, Old Wu, don't play dumb with me, I'm anxious to death!" Qian Youwei saw his expression very calm and collected, how could he not know that Wu Qinghua was so confident that he would be like this: "Tell me, who is it?"
Faced with Wu Qinghua's pressing question, he smiled wryly and said, "Besides my relative's child, who else can be so generous?"
"Is it Leng Zhenglin again? He's really getting on my nerves. Wait, that can't be right, they're always together in a big group, how could Sun Zhengfei have clashed with Leng Zhenglin? And Teacher Liu should know Leng Zhenglin too, it's even more impossible for him to take Sun Zhengfei's side." Qian Youwei felt this explanation was a bit far-fetched and didn't make sense.
"It's not Leng Zhenglin, it's his younger brother Leng Binghan." Wu Qinghua rubbed his nose, seemingly also finding the situation somewhat absurd and comical, with a hint of weirdness on his face.
"Ah, Leng Bing Han? No way, he's always been so low-key. Good grades and never caused any trouble, how could...". To be honest, he had suspected many people before, but had never included Leng Bing Han among them. So when Wu Qing Hua said this, the look of surprise on his face was completely genuine.
In Principal Qian Youwei's eyes, Leng Bingxue was a rare good student. Apart from occasionally dozing off in class and not doing his homework seriously, he could be considered a perfect student. Of course, not doing homework and not attending classes were minor problems, but that only applied to Leng Bingxue, who always came first in exams despite this. If anyone else could achieve the same results as him, they would also be exempt from submitting homework and attending classes.
"Yes, I know this Xiao Han is not one to stir up trouble. I think there must be more to the story than what's being said. After all, Sun Zhengfei and his gang have always been quite troublesome, it's highly likely they're the ones who caused the problem."
"Uh, Old Wu, I completely agree with your point of view. With you around, I feel at ease. As for this Teacher Liu, I think there's a problem with his character and he's not suitable to be a teacher or class advisor, it's better if he goes to the logistics department instead. What do you think, Old Wu?"
"Haha, this is what Principal considers a problem, I don't dare to interrupt." Wu Qinghua said with a gentle smile.
Qian Youwei pointed at Wu Qinghua and laughed: "You, you're a clever person. Alright, it's settled then. I'll leave first, haha." After saying that, he walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
