Chapter 275 Things continue to ferment!!
"I heard he's the director of the radio station at the Jinzhou No. 1 Cotton Textile Factory. He's very successful at such a young age and has been featured in the newspapers several times."
"This place is amazing!! You deserve that score."
"What a pity for the little girl."
"Yes, if she could enter university, she might become our junior sister..."
Beijing has many universities and colleges, which gather outstanding talents from all over the country.
Many of them come from poor family backgrounds.
When I heard this news, I couldn't help but feel that I was being bullied.
These people immediately formed a group.
I felt a rare sense of closeness and heartache for the legendary Lin Tang.
Some students with an overflowing sense of justice—
Some wrote letters to the newspaper.
Some wrote letters to Xia Ru's school.
Some even held up small banners.
Request the school to give Lin Tang a new notice.
Even the spectators who did nothing developed an indescribable fondness for Lin Tang after hearing about her deeds.
I think this little girl is hardworking and smart. She is truly a role model for women of the new era. Her never-give-up spirit is worth learning from for everyone.
Seeing the impact of this incident getting worse and worse, the reputation of Beijing's top university, which was originally the best in the country, instantly plummeted to the bottom.
The letters I received every day were like a hail of arrows.
Even newspapers published articles that had a negative impact on the school.
When the school leaders saw this, they knew this wasn’t acceptable.
If this continues, their school's reputation will be ruined.
The leadership held a meeting overnight.
Everyone is thinking of countermeasures!
The principal, who had a bald head, had two more wrinkles on his face because of this incident.
Seeing that everyone was present, he got straight to the point and said:
"What do you all think? Tell us!"
Everyone looked at the new admissions director, whose temples had turned a lot whiter recently.
As for the old one, it went where it belonged.
New admissions director: “…”
"Listen to the voice of the masses! Issue a formal document to persuade Comrade Xia Ru to resign, record the incident in the archives, and then send it back to the place where her household registration is located."
"Finally, following Lin Tang's idea, we should standardize the materials required for admission to prevent such incidents from happening again..."
He combined the requirements written by Lin Tang in the newspaper article with the letters received during this period and made some suggestions.
The principal thought it was reasonable and nodded.
Look at other people.
"Does anyone else have any suggestions?"
The leader above asked, so even if others didn't have anything to say, they had to make up a few words.
"Director Kou's explanation is very comprehensive! However, I have a question: what should we do with Lin Tang?"
It's unrealistic to pretend nothing happened.
Letting her go back to school to continue her studies does not comply with regulations.
This is a very difficult thing to do!
Another person said: "This is indeed a problem. If it is not handled properly, the school's reputation will plummet."
The principal, who was sitting in the upper seat, continued to ask, "What are your thoughts?"
Chu Yue, the miserable medical professor who was supposed to recruit the smart student Lin Tang but ended up recruiting the stupid student Xia Ru by mistake, suddenly spoke up.
"Our school does bear half the responsibility for the mistake."
"In my opinion, you should pay some money, apologize sincerely in the newspaper, and then inform Lin Tang of the school's decision."
"My suggestion is to send someone over and show some sincerity."
The director of another college immediately expressed different opinions.
"I agree with compensation and informing you of the outcome of the investigation, but isn't an apology in the newspaper unnecessary?"
He had barely finished expressing his objection when another person spoke up.
"I also feel that publishing an apology in the newspaper is unnecessary. It will damage the school's reputation and be detrimental to future enrollment."
The new admissions director frowned and said disapprovingly, "If you do something wrong, you should apologize. Why would this affect the school's reputation?"
"Only those who refuse to repent will change. Education is about educating people and spreading attitudes about how to behave. The school is personally teaching students a lesson. Looking at it from another perspective, isn't this a good thing?"
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
It took a long time.
The principal made the final decision, "Let's do as Professor Chu said. Professor Chu, I'll leave this matter to you. Everyone else, please cooperate. Now that the meeting is over, go back to your own business."
After saying that, he stood up and left the office.
Chu Yue, “?!”
This happened a bit suddenly.
The meeting room was silent for half a minute, and the others stood up one by one and lined up to touch his shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Chu!"
"Just go see classmate Lin Tang, whom you wanted to meet."
"If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."
But in a moment, Chu Yue was the only one left in the office.
Then, a deep sigh was heard in the empty meeting room.
"Each one is more cunning than the other!"
After complaining, he wiped his face and left the meeting room.
-
Hongxing Commune, Anping County.
Zhang Qingqing, who spread the evil rumor, was at home hoping that Lin Tang would get into trouble.
He endured it for two days and didn't even apologize.
As a result, I didn't hear about Lin Tang's misfortune, but I heard that the Xia family fell.
After hearing about this from her family, Zhang Qingqing was unable to react for a long time.
After finally coming back to his senses, he opened his mouth and asked:
"Mom, is what you just said true? The Xia family fell? That's impossible."
Mother Zhang had long been dissatisfied with her for staying at home instead of going to work for the past two days.
Hearing this, he said angrily: "How could I lie to you? Xia Zhihao was arrested two days ago and hasn't returned yet. Everyone is saying that the Xia family is finished..."
So, the circumstances of life are really impermanent!
Zhang Qingqing was dumbfounded.
In her eyes, the Xia family is like a towering tree.
It's impossible to fall.
How could that be?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingqing ran towards the Xia family.
"You little bitch, where are you going?" Aunt Zhang chased her to the door and started scolding her.
"You don't go to work, you don't do chores, what can you do? I shouldn't have given my job to you!!"
The woman's chest heaved violently.
When the woman thought about how she tried to steal the few dozen dollars of pocket money from Zhang Qingqing but was tricked and cheated out of her job, she wanted to vomit blood.
Zhang Qingqing turned a deaf ear to the insults coming into her ears and soon arrived at the Xia family.
The Xia family is particularly desolate today.
The house that used to be bustling with people was now pitifully quiet.
Even if someone passes by the door, they would like to take a detour.
When there was a knock on the door, Xia Ru was sitting in the empty living room with a gloomy look on her face.
Dong Xiaolian was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing the sound, Xia Ru stood up from the ground and opened the door.
Seeing Zhang Qingqing outside the door, she was stunned.
Zhang Qingqing, her former lackey.
"Why are you here?" Xia Ru's voice was dry, as if she hadn't spoken for several days.
"...I came to see you." Zhang Qingqing moved her lips and replied.
She could hardly believe that the decadent person in front of her was the same person who used to be so proud that he looked down on everything.
Xia Ru's eyes were dark, and her tone was mocking, "Look at me? Are you looking at me to make fun of me?"
She hadn't expected that in just a few days, she would be so wantonly abused.
