After the red list was posted, the news that Jiang Chen returned to the top of the grade and Zhang Jian was suspended from school spread throughout Yanshi No. 1 Middle School.
Needless to say, everyone who heard the gossip knew the answer in their hearts: Zhang Jian had indeed staged and directed the incident to deliberately slander his own students.
In a short while, the story of Jiang Chen's battle of wits with the class teacher spread widely, and the east side of the fourth floor became a popular spot. Many seniors and juniors came to inquire about him and to visit him. Even when he went to the cafeteria, people from other grades greeted him.
Chen Xu said anxiously: "Well, our class hunk has become the school hunk, a big celebrity!"
This was not the first time that Shen Xu had teased him, and Jiang Chen was too lazy to retort, but being blocked on the road a few times recently did cause him some trouble. Fortunately, someone had already picked up the bag he had thrown out, and when something really big happened in a few days, others would gradually forget about him.
To Jiang Chen's surprise, this time things happened faster than he had imagined.
As soon as the bell rang for break on Friday, a low-key black sedan drove into the school.
This is a rare thing. No. 1 Middle School has a rule that no vehicles are allowed to pass through the school, including bicycles and cars. Even teachers and principals have never driven their cars in.
It was now the break, and students from three grades gathered in the playground, watching the car drive along the straight road to the bottom of the office building. Several men in simple clothes got out, and the principal personally came to greet them.
Some people started to discuss: "Who is that? How could he drive into the school?"
"Is it from the Education Bureau? I heard from my friend at No. 16 Middle School that a leader went to inspect a few days ago, and they spent two classes doing a general cleaning the day before."
"No way, when the leader came, didn't we also have to do a thorough cleaning?"
The students were talking about it, but when the gymnastics broadcast sounded, they had no choice but to stop and do the exercises seriously.
Jiang Chen glanced in the direction of the office building, feeling somewhat surprised, but he also roughly guessed who those people were and what they were doing.
Before the monthly exam, he went to the office building to help Teacher Fu get a new math exercise book. He tampered with Sun Tengyun's computer while Sun Tengyun was away. From then on, every trace in Sun Tengyun's computer was under his eyes.
Sun Tengyun had a good habit of keeping accounts. No matter whether it was money earned, spent or stolen, he kept a clear account of every penny, even writing down the source, expenditure and handling in red font.
However, for a vigilant person like him who dares to keep accounts, there are naturally protection measures. The folder where Sun Tengyun keeps accounts is extremely secretly hidden, with countless folders with the same name used as a decoy. Once found, there are layers of passwords and even an automatic destruction Trojan installed. If the password is entered incorrectly a certain number of times, the file will be permanently destroyed.
But to Jiang Chen, this Trojan horse was like a sand castle built by children on the beach. It had no defense capabilities and could be knocked down with just a push.
Without any effort, Jiang Chen passed the documents from Sun Tengyun to the mortal enemy of a certain leader he was trying to curry favor with. He originally thought that the other party would spend some time verifying these documents and would reveal them at the right time, arresting the people above Sun Tengyun first, and then it would be Sun Tengyun's turn.
But I didn't expect that they would act so quickly and come to arrest people in just a few days.
Jiang Chen did not expect that Sun Tengyun, who was taken away for investigation, would never have expected that he would be taken into the car in a daze without receiving any news.
When he arrived at the place, he found out that his superior had been arrested for corruption and bribery, and the evidence seemed to have leaked from him.
Sun Tengyun shuddered and his handcuffed hands began to tremble.
How is this possible! There is absolutely no way there could be any mistakes on his part!
Sun Tengyun had layers of cold sweat on his forehead, and he shivered all over when the cold wind blew past him.
He stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. It was over. If the mistake really came from his side, then he was finished, and his whole family was finished!
…
The turmoil in the Yun City Municipal Bureau was not big this time, but it still affected a small group of people, including Zhang Jian. He was originally only temporarily suspended from classes, but now he directly received a dismissal document, which was issued by the Municipal Education Commission itself.
If there is no serious violation of laws and disciplines, violation of criminal law, or long absence from classes, dismissal is usually issued by the school. If the teacher is dissatisfied, he can apply for transfer to other schools. However, once he is dismissed by the Education Committee, his path to becoming a teacher is cut off!
Zhang Jian was naturally unwilling and threatened to appeal to the Education Commission, but no one in the entire school listened to him. Even the head teacher of Class 7, who usually had a good relationship with him, avoided him when he saw him at the school gate.
Finally, a young teacher couldn't stand it anymore and whispered in his ear what happened in the past few days when he was not in school for lectures. Zhang Jian's eyes widened. After the teacher left, he stood there for a long time before he wandered around with lifeless eyes and muttered "impossible" in a low voice.
When Shen Xu and Jiang Chen arrived at the school gate, Zhang Jian was still at the school gate.
Tomorrow is Sunday. Chen Xu strongly requested Jiang Chen to play games with him, and he kept trying to persuade him all the way.
Jiang Chen went to the hospital to block Shi Fengyue every weekend these past few weeks. Huo Bo was not in Yun City during this period, leaving Chen Xu all alone. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt that he had neglected him.
"I have time next weekend. You can play games or go to the Internet cafe if you like. I'm really busy this week."
Chen Xu also knew that when Jiang Chen said there was something going on, it really was something going on, but he was really curious about what Jiang Chen was busy with. He knew the current situation of the Jiang family, and because he knew it too well, he was very worried that Jiang Chen might find some dangerous job without telling his family and him in order to reduce the burden on his family.
But if it's work, Jiang Chen only does it one day a week, which seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.
"Jiang Zi, tell me the truth. You've been going out every weekend lately. Where have you been going?"
"I……"
As soon as Jiang Chen opened his mouth, Zhang Jian spotted him at the school gate.
Zhang Jian's eyes were bloodshot, and his already not young face looked even older. He stared at Jiang Chen for a while, then suddenly strode towards him.
As he walked, he shouted, "It's you, isn't it!"
The students at the school gate were shocked by Zhang Jian's sudden outburst, but when they came to their senses, they spontaneously walked towards Jiang Chen.
They knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Jian was. And it was posted on the bulletin board a few days ago that Zhang Jian was no longer a teacher at their school, so of course they had to protect their schoolmates.
Chen Xu was also startled, and he pulled Jiang Chen back two steps, saying, "Fuck, what the hell is wrong with Zhang Sanmao!"
Jiang Chen, who was protected by a group of classmates, patted Shen Xu's arm and signaled him to let go.
Chen Xu glanced at the classmates around him and felt relieved. After letting Jiang Chen go, he raised his chin and looked at Zhang Jian who was blocked outside and said, "Teacher Zhang, what are you doing? Not only did you slander Jiang Chen, you also want to hit him?"
"It's you!"
Zhang Jian could no longer hear what others were saying. The only thing in his mind was the words Jiang Chen said in a low voice when he passed by him when he left school that day: "Enjoy your retirement life, Teacher Zhang."
At that time, he was simply suspended from school, but Jiang Chen was certain that he would never be able to return to school!
Why is Jiang Chen so sure?
Because he was the one who did Sun Tengyun's thing! He knew that once Sun Tengyun fell, he would also be kicked out of school! Everything was his plan!
Zhang Jian looked at Jiang Chen with bloodshot eyes. Everything, including his attempt to frame him, might have been part of his plan!
At this time, Zhang Jian had completely lost the ability to think. He didn't know where Jiang Chen got the ability to directly overthrow Sun Tengyun and even make everyone above Sun Tengyun suffer. But he was inexplicably certain that all this was done by Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen's mouth curved slightly, and his voice was clear and calm: "Teacher Zhang, I don't understand what you are talking about."
At first glance, he is no different from other teenagers of his age, clean and cheerful, with a sunny aura all over his body, which makes people easily like him.
But even so, Zhang Jian felt that he was more and more terrifying. He ordered and manipulated everything, even implicated some big shots who Zhang Jian didn't even dare to look up at when he attended the dinner. Yet he could be so calm and get away with it. What a scheming and tactical man he was.
Thinking of how he had offended him many times, thinking of the unpredictable means he had used behind his back, and thinking of the fate of Sun Tengyun who had only offended him verbally, Zhang Jian's surging rage suddenly burst out, like a basin of ice water poured over his head, the chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, freezing his heart and liver to tremble.
Seeing that Zhang Jian didn't say anything, Jiang Chen took a few steps towards him and asked as he walked, "Teacher Zhang, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Jian looked at Jiang Chen with an expression that was completely different from just now, as if he was holding a big knife to seek revenge, but met an evil ghost halfway. He was scared out of his wits and staggered back half a step, his face pale with fear.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xu leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and whispered, "What happened to Zhang Sanmao all of a sudden? His expression was like he saw a ghost."
The next second, what he said was even more jaw-dropping.
"Jiang Chen, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have framed you and slandered you. I have been punished. Now I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"
The classmates around were in an uproar. Shen Xu didn't expect Zhang Jian to apologize, and his eyes widened.
Jiang Chen didn't expect Zhang Jian to actually apologize to him, and he didn't know why he suddenly looked so frightened. The only thing he could think of was that Zhang Jian was using his acting skills to make a breakthrough with him so that he could continue to work at the school.
He said calmly, "Teacher Zhang, if you just want to apologize to me, I will accept it. But if you want to use this as an excuse to go back to school and continue teaching, there is no point in apologizing to me."
After hearing what he said, the other students also realized that Zhang Jian was planning to save the country in a roundabout way.
"I am not..."
"That's good." Jiang Chen interrupted Zhang Jian and said with a smile, "The class will start soon. Let's go in first."
After entering the school, Shen Xu was still immersed in surprise: "Zhang Sanmao actually apologized? I thought he would blame you for everything and hate you to death? And he looked like he was looking for revenge on you before, but now he looks like you are looking for revenge on him, as if he is possessed by evil spirits. Is there something wrong with him?"
Jiang Chen shook his head without thinking too much. Zhang Jian was destined to be unable to jump up anyway. His figure was indispensable in Sun Tengyun's accounting memo. Now that Sun Tengyun was arrested and could not be touched, those people implicated by him would inevitably take advantage of Zhang Jian to vent their anger. By then, it would be hard to say whether Zhang Jian could still stay in Yan City.
