Chapter 701 Processing Results

When the comrades at the Light Industry Bureau saw the newspaper this morning, they had already guessed the outcome.

Soon, the Light Industry Bureau, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Education Bureau jointly launched an investigation into the matter.

Even Lian Antai, who was a hostage far away, saw the newspaper. He felt a mix of schadenfreude, secret admiration, and a sense of desolation at not being able to become a hero of this era.

Many people in the clothing industry couldn't help but reminisce about their naive and innocent days after seeing the news.

Young people, you know.

He's energetic.

They felt that the world was vast, that they were the only ones who mattered, and that they were omnipotent.

We must fight for fairness and justice!

But reality will surely teach Chen Qing a lesson.

They were just waiting to see what would happen.

The report had a wide impact, and for technical school students, it was like an earthquake.

The school lost its usual cheerful atmosphere. In a corner, students gathered in twos and threes, discussing the sudden accident with great enthusiasm.

Student leader Lin Yingjie was deeply shocked after seeing the report.

He read the newspaper articles aloud several times before gathering the class together and standing on the podium to say:

“Some of us may have gotten in through someone else’s substitution, and this is so unfair to those students who were replaced!”

During a class discussion, a student who came from a remote area suddenly stood up, his eyes welling up with tears: "Our village only produces one person like me who gets into a technical school in the city every five years. I can't even imagine how desperate I would feel if someone took my place."

I know many people felt ashamed after seeing the report, but I think the factory director's willingness to defend those students who were replaced shows courage and determination that far surpasses what outsiders say about us!

Besides, does being criticized a few times mean we should stop loving our school?

Our classrooms, teachers, food, and everything else are all of the highest quality.

All of this is the result of Director Chen's hard work. She's now willing to defend students who can't attend school; shouldn't we, as students, be moved?

As the students listened, they began to reflect and spontaneously shared the factory manager's true intentions.

I hope everyone can clearly understand that the factory manager is protecting everyone.

Most students sided with factory director Chen Qing, while some opposed his actions.

A fierce struggle erupted within the school.

Chen Qing was somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

At least the young people who haven't entered society yet have backbone, believe in the idea of ​​equality for all, and know how to defend their rights, which is great.

As the 'substitution incident' spread at an alarming rate, the three departments involved quickly launched an investigation.

They first asked Chen Qing for a list of 97 people.

Chen Qing handed it over directly.

Her straightforward attitude did not win everyone's favor; instead, everyone became increasingly irritated. How should this situation be resolved?

The three departments found a meeting room and started a meeting. The deputy leader of the working group said angrily, "She is putting us in a difficult position. If we follow her method, this matter will become even bigger. 97 students, behind them may be 97 families, and it may even involve some people with connections in our system. If we investigate thoroughly, how big will the shock be?"

“Deputy Team Leader Wang is right!” another member echoed. “Our primary task is to control the impact. My opinion is to handle it internally, make an example of a few, and give the rest a chance to correct their mistakes, so we can observe the effects.”

"Control the impact?" Team Leader Zhang, as the leader, couldn't help but scoff. "The People's Daily even published it; the whole country is watching us! Now, do you think you can cover it up? Are we here to solve the problem or to cover it up?"

He stated firmly, "Failure to conduct a thorough investigation would be the greatest dereliction of duty!"

The people at the table had different expressions.

A thorough investigation sounds simple, but how many fish would be caught in it, and how many people would be offended?

Just think about it for a moment, and everyone's disgust for Chen Qing reaches its peak!

Of these 97 students, not a single one who should have been enrolled caused trouble, which proves that these people are insignificant and have no family connections. Why care about these people?

yes.

She is aloof.

She's amazing.

She is not afraid of offending people.

But did she consider the difficulties the investigation team faced?

One wrong move and you'll lose your official position.

Deputy Director Wang lit a match and started smoking, white smoke billowing out. He squinted and said, "Team Leader Zhang, how do you plan to manage this? Replace them all with genuine copies?"

"certainly!"

Team Leader Zhang climbed up from the bottom of the Party Committee and wasn't particularly righteous, but he was very clever in that he could assess the situation.

The list of Chen Qing has been prepared. If they don't thoroughly investigate, it means they are protecting him, and if Chen Qing resists, they will be in big trouble!

The People's Daily will report on the follow-up, and if the handling is not good enough, how can it win the hearts of the people?

According to his personal analysis, a thorough investigation would not face much obstacle.

Public opinion is escalating rapidly, and few people dare to take the risk of just giving their child a job opportunity.

If someone really insists on going against us, then we'll have no choice but to confront them head-on!

This is a shameful thing that people would avoid at all costs.

If done well, it can add a significant highlight to his resume.

I can't do it well...

Then let the man surnamed Wang be the scapegoat.

Team Leader Zhang began the investigation.

There was widespread anxiety within the school because three departments jointly issued a statement saying that if any student was willing to come forward, they would not be held responsible.

But after ten days or so, very few people have stepped forward.

Therefore, in late September, a unique "fact disclosure and opinion solicitation meeting" was held in the school auditorium.

There was no fierce criticism, only a calm presentation of evidence.

The entire faculty and students sat below the stage.

On the stage, Zhang, the team leader, calmly read out the confirmed cases of substitution one by one.

The students' names were omitted, and only the method of substitution and the chain of evidence were stated.

There's nothing we can do about it...

Some people's children can be driven out, but their future cannot be truly ruined.

Chen Qing was aware of this, so he acquiesced to Team Leader Zhang's approach.

"Case 3: The applicant had excellent grades, and the medical examination report showed a height of 1.65 meters, but the actual height of the admitted student was 1.79 meters. A key page of the medical examination report had been replaced..."

"Case Seven: The handwriting of the applicant and the admitted student was independently examined by three experts, and the similarity was less than 10%..."

"Case 15: A visit to the high school he claimed to have graduated from revealed that there was no record of him attending the school..."

Each time a line was read out, a suppressed gasp of surprise rose from the audience.

Those who still harbored a glimmer of hope sat in the crowd, trembling like leaves, their faces pale and sweating profusely.

Finally, Team Leader Zhang announced: "Based on the verification results, our working group has officially made the decision to expel the students who took the place of others in the college entrance examination, and has reported it to the Light Industry Bureau for record. We hope that the students who have received the notice will understand and leave."

A People's Daily reporter recorded the scene and published a follow-up report.

This approach of "not covering up mistakes, not tolerating wrongdoing, and rebuilding fairness" was affirmed and hailed as a profound lesson in socialist integrity.

These titles are meant to tell everyone: Chen Qing did a good job!
