Chapter 147 Just a Man
"Yes, on the day she had the accident, Director Zhang and I went shopping for New Year's goods."
Su Li then told the story of Zhao Xinran and Shao Tingan having an affair at home and drugging her. The office fell silent for a moment.
Finally, the principal spoke up. "We'll investigate this matter once Zhao arrives. We'll have the security department take note. The newspaper must no longer appear on campus."
When Su Li came out of the office, she couldn't figure out who had posted the newspaper on the bulletin board.
It seems that there are many people who hate Zhao Xinran!
Under the sycamore tree in front of the office building, Su Li looked at the young men and women coming and going, all of them full of youth, which reminded her of the rainy day three years ago - a girl, soaked all over, shyly appeared in front of her, holding a certificate for first place in the county.
She still remembers the first words Zhao Xinran said at that time, "Sister Su, I passed the exam. I will be your student from now on. Without your encouragement and support, I would not be who I am today."
How ironic, this is how Zhao Xinran repaid her encouragement and support.
While Su Li was lost in thought, the principal came over.
"Teacher Su, don't be too sad. I personally sympathize with you. And we all know what you did for that student. It's hard to guard against a thief in your own home. Just be more open-minded."
"Thank you, Principal. I actually thought about telling the school about her situation, but she's still a student after all. Her family has worked so hard to support her education for so many years. It's not easy."
What Su Li said was half sincere and half polite.
She was indeed a little reluctant, but the real reason was that she was afraid that this blow would not be able to knock Zhao Xinran down directly. After all, Zhang Xuemei would probably not watch Zhao Xinran being fired at this moment.
"As a teacher, you've done a great job, but our school can't ignore students like this. Schools are places to cultivate talent, and those with bad behavior are parasites of society and the country."
At this point, the principal grew angry. "Especially female college students nowadays, they take advantage of their status as college students and think they are superior to others. Some of them even try to curry favor with the rich and powerful."
Su Li curved her lips and said, "The principal is right. Girls are very active these days, and we teachers should guide them correctly."
"Teacher Su, your teaching ability has always been outstanding among young teachers. Your three months of advanced training were taught by Professor Wang from Peking University himself, and he praised you highly. Keep up the good work, and you have a bright future!"
Su Li nodded, "I will try my best, don't worry."
Before leaving, the principal looked at Su Li meaningfully and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Su, your career is flourishing and you can make up for many regrets."
Su Li understood that the principal was trying to comfort her, and the smile on her face became more obvious. "I'll remember that."
A woman without a family must focus on her career. Su Li knew this very well, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to ask Director Zhang for further training after her rebirth.
…
Liu Cui'e followed Zhao Xinran back to the house she rented. Looking at her daughter's house, which was not spacious but still warm, she sighed.
"We have no money. If you want to continue living in this house, you have to listen to me."
"Mom, I can't be expelled from school. If this gets out of hand, the school will definitely find out."
"It's all in the newspaper, how could I not know?" Liu Cui'e gritted her teeth. "What's the point of crying now? We have to find a solution quickly. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, there's room for improvement."
"So what should we do?"
"We can't afford to offend anyone right now. Go apologize to Su Li, and then I'll handle the situation with her. I'll go with you to plead for mercy for Director Zhang you mentioned. And if you're found out about Su Danian's case and try to deny it, just say it was Shao Ting'an and Xin Peng. Xin Peng won't betray you, and I'll make Shao Ting'an admit it."
"Mom, I can't bear to leave Brother Ting'an."
"He's just a man. He's only useful if he can protect you from the wind and rain. If that day comes, will Shao Ting'an be able to do it?"
Liu Cui'e looked at her daughter shrewdly, and the decisiveness in her expression made Zhao Xinran feel a chill in her heart.
"As I said, now we need to protect ourselves. The Shao family will definitely take some action in the next two days. Let's wait and see."
Zhao Xinran nodded helplessly. For now, she could only protect herself as her mother said.
In the evening, thinking that Director Guo should have finished get off work, Shao Baoguo and Sun Meijuan followed Sun Bingrun to his home.
Sun Bingrun and Director Guo are comrades-in-arms and have a good relationship.
At the beginning, Director Guo's care for Shao Ting'an was more or less out of consideration for Sun Bingrun's face.
"Huaisheng, I'm here to apologize to you."
Director Guo was not surprised to see them, and obviously knew they would come.
"Bingrun, what are you talking about? We don't talk about this between us."
Shao Baoguo looked guilty, "Brother Huaisheng, we are ashamed!"
"Baoguo, Ting'an is an adult. He is responsible for his own affairs. It is none of your business."
After they sat down, Director Guo sighed, "I really treat Ting'an as my own child."
Sun Bingrun nodded, "We all know this. Without your support, Ting'an wouldn't have grown so quickly."
Director Guo shook his head helplessly. "What a shame! This kid isn't thinking straight. Instead of trying to correct his mistakes, he's eager to cover them up."
"Huaisheng, Ting'an is a proud kid, young and impetuous, and he got stuck in a rut."
Sun Bingrun found it difficult to speak, but he had to plead for the sake of his nephew.
"Bingrun, you can't say that. Youthful vigor is a good thing, but having no boundaries is a sign of bad intentions. We all misjudged him."
Shao Baoguo and Sun Meijuan were extremely ashamed. They never thought that their gentle and kind son would do such a thing.
But he was his own son after all, so he could only beg for mercy with a thick face.
"Brother Huaisheng, we are the ones who didn't raise our son well, but he is our child after all. Do you think we can settle this privately?"
Director Guo was a little worried. "Baoguo, my case is easy to deal with. The key is that he injured the Su siblings and caused a huge loss to the factory. You know how difficult it is for our machinery factory to rework a batch of already produced machines. And some have already been sold, so we need to organize a special maintenance team to repair and replace them on site. The factory still has no money for this."
"Brother Huaisheng, I will compensate Ting'an for your medical expenses and nutrition costs. We must compensate you for this. Otherwise, how can we face you after all these years of relationship? I will also bear the losses of the factory. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will make it up to you. Can you please negotiate and not sue Ting'an?"
Shao Baoguo gritted his teeth and said this, his heart bleeding. He had put all his life's savings into it.
"Baoguo, this is not a small amount of money. I'm afraid your family can't afford it."
Director Guo naturally didn't know how much Shao Baoguo had embezzled, he only knew how an ordinary family could possibly come up with so much money?
Sun Meijuan smoothed things over, "Brother Huaisheng, don't worry. We will definitely make up the money even if we have to borrow it. There are always more solutions than problems."
Director Guo was a bit embarrassed. "I can go to the factory and talk about it. We're worried about this funding. If you can really find a way to compensate us, it would be easier to deal with. But as for the Su brothers and sisters..."
