Chapter 30: Admission Ticket Torn (7)
7
After sending Chen Hesong safely to school, Zhu Qingchen returned home and collapsed on the sofa, feeling refreshed.
"I'm very happy today, so I rewarded myself by watching an episode of "Happy Superman"!"
The system said: "You always have so many excuses."
"Today is a joyous day, so let's give you another episode of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf as a reward!"
"That's enough!"
Zhu Qingchen crossed his feet, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
The familiar theme song of the cartoon came on, Zhu Qingchen picked up his strawberry straw cup and sipped the water comfortably.
The system looked at his lazy look and said helplessly: "If I had known to move the timeline forward a little bit, you wouldn't seem to be here to complete a mission, but to enjoy yourself."
Zhu Qingchen said confidently: "Then it's not my fault that I completed the task quickly and well. It's not my fault that I'm too good."
“…”
Zhu Qingchen put down the straw cup and thought for a moment: "In fact, every time, I just did a small thing, and they succeeded by themselves."
It was Pei Xuan's own unremitting efforts and physical exercise that enabled him to escape from King Jing's trap.
It was because of Chen Hesong's courage and strategy, and his negotiation with He Yu, that he escaped the fate of repeating a grade.
In this process, he was just fulfilling his insignificant responsibilities and obligations as a teacher.
"The original book says they are 'cheap bottoms' and 'gloomy bottoms'. Actually, if it is possible, who likes to be 'cheap'? Who likes to be 'gloomy'? Who likes to be tied to a devil for life?"
"As long as we give them a little chance to wake up, a little push, and a little help, they will rush towards a better future on their own."
Zhu Qingchen will not protect them like his cubs. Zhu Qingchen will only give them advice and teach them to be independent and self-reliant.
This time the system did not argue with him.
Not long after, Zhu Qingchen's cell phone rang. Teacher Gao sent him a message.
[Xiaozhu, come to the Academic Affairs Office for a meeting tomorrow]
Don't worry, just make things clear.
[He Song doesn't need to come. Let him stay in the dormitory and read a book.]
Zhu Qingchen sighed and replied with the word "OK".
It's not over yet, there is still a tough battle to fight.
Chen Hesong had finally handed the evidence to him, and he couldn't let Chen Hesong down or let Chen Hesong get beaten in vain.
The system asked: "Do you still want to apply for permission to get videos and photos?"
Zhu Qingchen nodded: "Yes."
These things can prove that He Yu’s bullying of him was not just this one time, but had been going on for a long time.
*
The next morning.
Zhu Qingchen got up early and washed up in the bathroom.
The system told him: "The application was approved last night. I searched the phones of several bullies for you overnight and found some evidence. It has been transferred to your phone."
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen nodded, "Thank you, system."
"You're welcome." The system said, "Thanks to Chen Hesong calling the police last night and gathering the bullies at the police station, I was able to locate their communication tools. Otherwise, it would take more time to find them one by one."
Zhu Qingchen said calmly: "Heaven helps those who help themselves."
Zhu Qingchen lowered his head, spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and then rinsed his mouth.
"Let's go."
The boarding students get up at 6:30 in the morning, wash, dress, clean, and all leave the dormitory at 7:00.
When Zhu Qingchen arrived at the dormitory, the other three students were still lying in bed, but Chen Hesong had already gotten up, cleaned the entire dormitory, and was packing up his tools.
Zhu Qingchen knocked on the door outside, and three students jumped up from the bed.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Chen Hesong came and opened the door: "Teacher Zhu."
The three roommates jumped off the bed and put on their clothes in a hurry: "Teacher, we will get up immediately!"
Zhu Qingchen glanced at them and said, "Hurry up."
He turned around, pulled Chen Hesong outside to the corridor, and whispered to him: "Hesong, there will be a meeting at school today to discuss your matter. Don't worry, Teacher Gao and I are here, and nothing will happen."
"Well, then I..."
"You don't have to go over there. These are all adult matters. Stay in the dormitory, lock the door, and don't open the door to anyone who comes."
Chen Hesong nodded: "Yeah."
"I have also greeted the dormitory manager. She won't let strangers in. Once everything is settled, the teacher will come to pick you up. The teacher will come to pick you up personally. Don't open the door to strangers casually."
After all, the He family members were like lawless criminals, so Zhu Qingchen was not very reassured.
The dormitory door is a large blue iron door with a latch. As long as it is locked, it is very safe.
Zhu Qingchen finally asked him: "Is your phone still charged?"
Chen Hesong nodded: "Yes."
"Remember to call me if you have anything."
"good."
Zhu Qingchen confirmed again and again that he would make the call, and then watched him set himself as an emergency contact, and then he drove the other students out of the dormitory.
After Teacher Zhu left, Chen Hesong stayed in the dormitory alone. He locked the door, put the mop in the dormitory beside him for self-protection, then took out the test paper and did it himself.
He hasn't had such quiet study time for a long time.
He won't be ordered around by He Yu, nor will he be disturbed by his mother.
Although he didn't know the outcome of the teachers' meeting, Chen Hesong felt inexplicably at ease.
*
Zhu Qingchen returned to the office and sorted out the evidence he had.
The system instructed him: "How come you can't even make a PPT?"
Zhu Qingchen tapped the keyboard with two fingers: "Shut up."
At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhu Qingchen came to his office in the administrative building.
Teacher Gao has arrived. He is sitting next to me with his hands folded and his eyes closed.
Zhu Qingchen stepped forward and called out, "Teacher Gao?"
Teacher Gao opened his eyes and said, "Hmm? Xiao Zhu, you're here?"
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen sat down at the seat next to him. "You're here so early?"
"I went back home last night and didn't sleep all night." Teacher Gao rubbed his brows, "My home is far away. Fortunately, you were there yesterday, otherwise something terrible would have happened."
Zhu Qingchen said: "It's also thanks to you for arriving in time."
Teacher Gao warned him: "If there's a quarrel later, don't make a sound. As I said before, you just graduated, don't really gamble your future. I have seniority, so it's okay for me to quarrel with them."
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen nodded vigorously and smiled at him, "Then I'll hide behind Teacher Gao."
"Can."
In the original book, Teacher Gao was the only teacher who was sincere and open-hearted to Chen Hesong.
He would argue for Chen Hesong's sudden refusal to repeat a grade, and even after retirement, he would still pay attention to Chen Hesong's college entrance examination and care about which university Chen Hesong was admitted to.
It's a pity that he is just an ordinary old teacher in his sixties and cannot fight against the He family at all.
Ten years later, at the high school anniversary celebration, although he was in poor health, he still returned to school on crutches, just to see how the ill-fated Chen Hesong was doing.
But in the original book, Chen Hesong was never able to break free from the constraints of his family, nor escape from He Yu's confinement.
Teacher Gao regretted this for the rest of his life.
Oh, by the way, the system said that this is also a part of He Yu’s “Chasing Wife to the Crematorium”.
Chen Hesong originally suffered from depression. He neither cried nor laughed. Finally, he burst into tears in front of Teacher Gao's bedside, saying that he had failed his teacher's expectations. He Yu felt very distressed and stayed up for three whole days to accompany Chen Hesong.
That was three full days.
In the end, Chen Hesong suffered a mental breakdown. He Yu came to Teacher Gao’s tombstone, presented him with a bouquet of flowers, and asked him to bless him to successfully pursue Chen Hesong.
When Zhu Qingchen heard the system say this ending, he was completely shocked.
If he were Teacher Gao, and if the bully was shameless enough to come to his grave to ask for protection, no matter how many years he had been dead, he would crawl out of the grave and take the bully away.
Who is he disgusting? Where does he get the nerve to do that?
Zhu Qingchen sat with Teacher Gao for a while, and soon other people came.
He Yu's parents, several teachers from the Academic Affairs Office and the Student Affairs Center, Vice Principal Zhou, staff from the supervisory department and the Youth Student Protection Committee, and the police who handled the case yesterday, all arrived.
The room was full of people and the entire meeting was recorded.
Because Zhu Qingchen was Chen Hesong's class teacher and the first person to arrive at the police station yesterday, he witnessed almost everything that happened, so Zhu Qingchen gave a brief account of the incident.
Zhu Qingchen sat in the front seat and narrated the events in an orderly and chronological order.
"Four days ago, the mother of my classmate Chen Hesong came to me and said that she wanted to arrange for Chen Hesong to repeat the grade."
"According to Chen Hesong's mother, Chen Hesong dropped out of school due to health reasons, so I asked her to provide a certificate from a tertiary hospital, but so far, Chen Hesong's mother has not submitted the certificate to me."
"Because Chen's condition did not seem good, and he was repeating a grade in high school, where his younger brother He Yu was, I told Ms. Chen clearly that if Chen was coerced into repeating a grade, the signature on the repeat application would be invalid, and there is a video to prove it."
Afterwards, Zhu Qingchen played the video recorded at that time.
Just as Chen's mother was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zhu Qingchen.
"Please be quiet, I haven't finished yet."
Zhu Qingchen continued to state the facts: "Next, at 7 o'clock last night, I received a call from the police station."
"The police officers at the police station were more professional than me in handling the case. Here is the decision letter, the injury report issued by the hospital to Chen Hesong, and the surveillance video at the time."
"He Yu organized five classmates to bully Chen Hesong on campus, causing Chen to suffer multiple injuries. He was detained for 15 days and should still be in the police station now."
"In addition, I learned that He Yu bullied Chen Hesong more than once. He has been bullying Chen Hesong since junior high school. This is evidence I collected through some means."
Zhu Qingchen played the photos and videos obtained by the system.
All the teachers in the conference room were silent, and even He Yu's parents were speechless.
"From this, I reasonably suspect that Chen Hesong was held back not because of physical reasons, but because he was forced by his family to accompany his brother He Yu, who was in the second year of high school. He himself did not want to be held back."
"Moreover, he has suffered long-term violence and neglect in his family and is in urgent need of help."
"In addition, Vice President Zhou called me last night and asked me to keep the peace and consider the He family. I suspect that some teachers in our school are aware of the situation but have not reported it, and are deliberately covering up and condoning campus violence."
Zhu Qingchen finally said: "After discussing with classmate Chen Hesong, our demands are as follows--"
"First, the application for repeating a grade is voided. Student Chen will return to his senior year of high school immediately."
"Second, apply for protection from the school and relevant departments. At least before Chen reaches adulthood, he does not want to have any contact with his family and his relatives, and he needs to receive regular psychological counseling."
"Third, give He Yu and other bullies a disciplinary action of a severe warning or above, and inform the whole school."
"Fourth, strictly investigate the teacher who approved the application for repeating the grade, and strictly investigate the teacher who called me last night and threatened me to keep quiet."
"Fifth, all the contents of this meeting must be notified in writing immediately. Do not delay, so that no one can interfere."
When Zhu Qingchen said these words, his eyes were calm as he swept between He's father, Deputy Zhou and others.
It was only at this point that they finally realized that they could no longer suppress the matter using their connections or power.
He's father felt extremely embarrassed this time, and he kicked Chen's mother hard under the table, blaming her for not doing things well.
Chen's mother wanted to refute: "Teacher Zhu, what you said is biased. There is absolutely no bullying or violence in our family. It's just the children fighting each other."
Zhu Qingchen scrolled his mouse: "The video and photos are right here, as well as the injury report from last night. I released it early in the morning. Whether He Yu's behavior towards Chen Hesong can be called bullying is not up to me to decide, but the video."
Chen's mother still used the same excuse, that the brothers had just been fighting and that Chen Hesong had done something wrong, but it was their family affair and there was no need to bring it to the school. She asked to meet with Chen Hesong and talk it out face to face.
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips, sat up a little straighter, and looked at her seriously: "I have always wanted to ask you a question."
Chen's mother was puzzled: "What?"
"Is Chen Hesong really your biological child?"
"Of course he is..."
"But why would you treat him like this? Because he is your own child, you are sure that no matter how you treat him, no matter how you bully him, he will not leave you, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? He eats and drinks well at home, how could he..."
"Because he is my biological child, I can do whatever I want with him. If I want him to repeat a grade, I can do so. If I want him to delay his college entrance examination, I can do so. If I want him to please He Yu, I can do so."
Zhu Qingchen looked at her steadily, his eyes probing as if he wanted to look into her soul: "Are you really a mother? You don't understand, you are so good to He Yu, you clearly know how a mother should treat her children, but why do you treat him like this?"
Mother Chen was speechless and stepped back.
Just as He's father was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Qingchen.
"You too, do you really know how to be a stepfather?"
"Why did you choose to remarry Chen Hesong's mother? Your remarriage with Chen Hesong's mother is not only a marriage between two people, but also a union of two families. Why would you rush into marriage without being fully prepared?"
"Why did you get married without educating your own children? When you knew that your stepson was being bullied by your biological son, why didn't you choose to stop it?"
"Isn't Chen Hesong a human being? Is Chen Hesong the stepping stone for the happiness of your family of three? He is just a teenager. Why should he sacrifice so much for your family?"
He's father was speechless, his face turned pale and he clenched his fists.
Zhu Qingchen turned his head and adjusted the microphone: "And you, Vice Principal Zhou, since you are so close to the He family, how could you not know the specific situation of the He family?" Zhu Qingchen was so angry that even Teacher Gao couldn't stop him. It was originally agreed that Teacher Gao would curse and Zhu Qingchen would just hide behind him, but Teacher Gao didn't say a word and it was all Zhu Qingchen cursing.
He cursed at people without using any dirty words, and when he swept his eyes over the area, no one dared to speak.
Deputy Zhou tried to stop him: "That's enough, Mr. Xiaozhu, you can leave now that you have finished talking. We will discuss this matter later."
Zhu Qingchen looked at him and said, "Why did you approve his application to repeat a grade? Why did you let a scum like He Yu enter the school through the back door? Why did you blindly favor He Yu when you knew that school bullying existed?"
“That’s enough!”
"Not enough!" Zhu Qingchen looked at him seriously, "I need an answer, please answer. If you are unwilling to answer, please ask the relevant department to investigate."
After Zhu Qingchen finished speaking, he took a breath, put down the microphone, picked up his little yellow duck thermos cup and drank some milk tea, but he had no intention of leaving his seat.
The matter was very serious, and Zhu Qingchen's attitude was very firm, so it was no longer something that could be handled within the school.
Staff from relevant departments and police officers from the police station were present at the scene.
Deputy Zhou tried to defend himself: "I have made a self-examination. I handled this matter inappropriately, but I really had no selfish motives. I thought 'a harmonious family brings prosperity' and 'a step back will open up a broader horizon', so I made a wrong decision..."
Zhu Qingchen couldn't help but lean forward, adjusted the microphone, and whispered, "You farted."
Deputy Zhou’s face turned pale.
"Why is it always Chen Hesong who has to back off? Why is it always He Yu who takes advantage? Deputy Zhou, I just played the recording of you calling me and threatening me with your future."
There were still a few confused teachers who tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Teacher Xiao Zhu, Deputy Zhou is an old teacher with very traditional ideas. He made a mistake once in a while, so you shouldn't keep harping on it."
Zhu Qingchen said: "Teacher Gao is an older teacher, why doesn't Teacher Gao have so-called traditional ideas? Since Deputy Zhou wants to maintain the happy family of the He family so much, why don't you go and accompany He Yu to study?"
If he could not reveal his identity, Zhu Qingchen would even want to say -
I am an ancient man! Why don’t I have so-called traditional ideas?!
"I got up every morning to make breakfast for He Yu, endured his abuse and ridicule, and was beaten and kicked by He Yu because I bought milk that didn't suit my taste. Deputy Zhou, are you willing to live such a happy life?"
Several teachers who tried to smooth things over were speechless. Deputy Zhou became anxious and said, "Don't escalate this to personal attacks!"
"A harmonious family brings prosperity." Zhu Qingchen glanced at him. "I was just stating the facts, but you couldn't stand it. My student has personally experienced these things for several years in a row, and you advised him to 'take a step back and the world will be broader'?"
"For Chen Hesong, it's 'one step back and the sky will be wider', but for you, it's 'don't make personal attacks', Deputy Zhou, do you know that your words don't make sense?"
"It's not that you don't know that Chen Hesong was wronged, but it's because, compared with the He family, Chen Hesong is not worth mentioning at all. Sacrificing a student can narrow the distance between you and the He family."
"I hope that Vice Zhou will be investigated strictly."
The staff nodded and took note: "Don't worry, Teacher Xiaozhu, we will start the investigation right away."
Only after getting the guarantee did Zhu Qingchen stop exporting.
He always had a smile on his face and was gentle, but what he said was clear and well-reasoned.
Leave the other party speechless.
After a morning meeting, at Zhu Qingchen's strong request, the school met all his requirements and immediately issued a written document.
Chen Hesong immediately returned to his senior year of high school, lived on campus, and received regular psychological counseling.
No one in the He family can have any contact with Chen Hesong alone. The He family parents have failed in their duties and need to receive long-term education and supervision from the community.
The school classified this incident as a long-term and vicious case of campus bullying, and gave He Yu and the five bullies severe warnings. The results of the handling were posted on the bulletin board.
Zhu Qingchen personally drafted the announcement, with the names of all the bullies clearly listed on the paper. The only name hidden was that of the bullied person, Chen Hesong.
As for Deputy Zhou, he was also suspended for investigation.
After doing all these things, Zhu Qingchen finally felt relieved.
But before leaving, He's father passed by him and said to him: "Teacher Zhu, well done."
Zhu Qingchen folded his hands, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment."
It was obvious that Father He was threatening him, but...
From the beginning to now, he has been threatened countless times.
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "I will tell the police at the police station. If anything happens to me, I hope they will conduct a thorough investigation of the He family."
Zhu Qingchen waved at him: "Goodbye."
He's father looked at his departing back fiercely.
*
After solving this matter, Zhu Qingchen stretched, walked out of the meeting room, came to the boys' dormitory and knocked on the door.
Chen Hesong had finished three mock exam papers and was working on the fourth when he heard a knock on the door. He quickly put down his pen, picked up his cell phone in one hand and the mop handle in the other, and looked at the door vigilantly.
The next second, Zhu Qingchen's voice came from outside the door.
"It's me, your most beloved teacher Zhu."
Chen Hesong finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his things, walked over to open the door, and said, "Teacher Zhu."
Zhu Qingchen stood at the door and smiled at him: "Everything has been resolved. The school has met all our requirements. You can stay in school for your senior year and study hard."
Chen Hesong's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really." Zhu Qingchen raised the document in his hand and said, "I brought it to you."
Chen Hesong took the document with both hands, read it quickly, and then read it word by word several times. After confirming that it was authentic, he finally smiled.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhu."
"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
"good."
Chen Hesong took the meal card, locked the dormitory door, and followed Zhu Qingchen obediently.
He sniffed, raised his head, looked at Teacher Zhu, and his eyes were red for no reason: "Teacher Zhu, thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Zhu Qingchen patted his shoulder. "If you do better in the exam, I'll get a bonus. If you get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, you'll get a bonus of 200 yuan, which is enough for 100 cups of milk tea."
"Yeah." Chen Hesong wiped his eyes and nodded vigorously, "I will try my best."
After a while, Chen Hesong whispered, "Teacher, it should be ten cups."
"Ah? What?" Zhu Qingchen blinked.
"It's ten cups of milk tea."
“……”Zhu Qingchen is a Chinese teacher.
After lunch in the cafeteria, Zhu Qingchen took Chen Hesong back to the classroom.
After lunch, several students were figuring out how to secretly turn on the multimedia computer in the classroom and watch a movie.
Zhu Qingchen poked his head out of the door and asked quietly: "What are you doing?"
Several students were startled.
"Teacher Zhu..."
"Why have you been so elusive lately?"
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "Turn off the computer."
"Okay." Several students put the things back to their original state with grievance.
Zhu Qingchen added: "Come here, classmates, come and help me."
The students immediately revived: "Here we come!"
"What's the matter?"
"Come downstairs with me and help move Chen Hesong's desk and chair back."
Chen Hesong walked out from behind Zhu Qingchen and nodded to them: "Thank you for your help."
All the students looked at each other, their faces lit up with surprise.
"Bring Chen Hesong back?"
"Teacher, you are so awesome!"
"Teacher Zhu, you are my God!"
Zhu Qingchen:?
Why do students nowadays speak in strange ways?
Zhu Qingchen waved at them: "Let's go quickly."
Several students followed Zhu Qingchen with a heroic and unyielding pace, and went downstairs to move all of Chen Hesong's things back. !
