When Secretary Chen learned that she was Du Junsheng's daughter, he and the department head exchanged a smile.
"Oh, so you're Du Wenting, perfect timing! We've already learned about your relationship with Comrade Li Shaojie. The organization has also arranged for Director Zhou to speak with Comrade Li Shaojie. We're in a meeting right now, so please wait outside for a moment. I'll talk to you in a bit. After all, marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly."
Judging from her tone, the college seems to want to mediate between them. But she didn't come here today just to get a divorce certificate.
How could she easily let Li Shaojie get a divorce? She still wanted to fulfill Du Wenting's wish and let Li Shaojie experience the pain that Du Wenting suffered in her previous life.
Xu Keke smiled gently at Secretary Chen and nodded obediently in agreement, "Okay, but I'm a high school teacher, and if I take leave, it will interfere with my classes. I've taken time out of my schedule to come here today. I hope we can resolve this as soon as possible so it doesn't affect my work."
Secretary Chen was very satisfied with her work attitude of putting work first, and he nodded approvingly.
Director Zhou, who was sitting next to him, raised his voice impatiently, "Alright, we all know. You can go out now. We're in a meeting. Secretary Chen will talk to you after the meeting."
Xu Keke didn't back down; instead, she took two steps forward. Director Zhou was very dissatisfied with her behavior. Their eyebrows, which were already quite close together, were now almost touching.
Xu Keke then took out a piece of paper from her small black leather bag and waved it in her hand. "This is what Li Shaojie wrote on our first day of marriage when he admitted that he was in love with Dr. Xiao Yujie of the affiliated hospital and filed for divorce. It has his signature on it, and several nurses and patients at the hospital can testify to that."
"Furthermore, I hope the organization can thoroughly investigate whether Li Shaojie engaged in illicit relationships with other women during our dating and marriage. He also took advantage of his improper relationship with Xiao Yujie to occupy a special ward in the affiliated hospital for a minor injury. As a probationary party member, I personally believe it is necessary for me to truthfully report the situation to the organization."
Listening to Xu Keke's words, Li Shaojie gripped his pen tightly. He knew that the Party Secretary and the Director were watching him, and he had to make others believe that he was being bullied to the point of being too afraid to speak.
Seeing Li Shaojie's restrained expression, Xu Keke could roughly guess what he was thinking. But she showed no sign of stopping.
"Moreover, given Li Shaojie's current ideological awareness and moral character, he probably shouldn't continue teaching at the academy. If the academy continues to employ him, I will report this to my superiors."
As soon as Xu Keke finished speaking, the conference room erupted in an uproar. Everyone had heard rumors, but they were all circulating privately, and no one expected it to be true. After all, in their eyes, Li Shaojie marrying Professor Du's daughter was an incredibly auspicious event, a stroke of good fortune for his family; how could he possibly be out there messing around?
Director Zhou got impatient and pointed at Xu Keke, "We don't need your guidance for our work. Please leave and don't disrupt our meeting."
Secretary Chen gestured to Director Zhou, indicating that he shouldn't panic. "Comrade Du, we heard what you said. We will definitely investigate further. But please wait outside for a moment, okay?"
After Xu Keke turned and walked out of the conference room, Secretary Chen gestured for Li Shaojie to sit down first. He then turned to Director Zhou beside him, smiled and shook his head, and whispered, "Old Du's daughter is quite something."
Director Zhou couldn't manage a smile. He was Li Shaojie's introducer to the Party. Just yesterday at the Party Committee meeting, he had vouched for Li Shaojie, saying that among the young faculty members, Li Shaojie was one of the most self-disciplined and ambitious.
He said he only had some disagreements with his newlywed wife. He himself has realized his mistakes and stated that he only had a momentary lapse in concentration and did not commit any substantial errors. He asked the organization to give him another chance and not to completely negate him.
At the meeting, Secretary Chen expressed his satisfaction that the man was able to comprehensively assess a comrade's strengths and weaknesses. Little did he expect to be proven wrong today.
Because Xu Keke was waiting outside and had said those things beforehand, the meeting, which was already nearly over, ended early.
Secretary Chen was quite experienced in doing this kind of ideological work. He deliberately didn't call Li Shaojie, but instead invited Xu Keke to his office alone.
Li Shaojie followed Director Zhou to the department head's office.
Director Zhou was very angry with Li Shaojie. He entered the office and slammed his notebook onto the table. Pointing at Li Shaojie, he told him to explain the situation clearly.
Seeing how angry he was, Li Shaojie didn't dare to tell the truth. After thinking it over and over again, he finally spoke.
He was forced to write the divorce petition by Du Wenting; if he didn't, Professor Du's family would cause a scene at the hospital and refuse to leave. He only wrote it to maintain the normal order of the hospital.
Regarding the special ward, Li Shaojie, observing Director Zhou's expression, said, "The doctor who treated me was Fang Minghui. You know he has a close relationship with Professor Du's family. At that time, the hospital didn't know about Du Wenting and me. It was Fang Minghui who forced me to stay there because of Professor Du. Afterwards, I felt it wasn't appropriate, so I went and paid the hospital fees myself."
Director Zhou's expression shifted between light and shadow after hearing Li Shaojie's words. Recently, news of a vice-principal appointment had circulated from higher authorities. Coupled with the recent exchange meeting, where Du Junsheng was specifically mentioned as the lead figure, the identity of this vice-principal was practically self-evident.
Director Zhou unbuttoned the collar of his Zhongshan suit. "Why did you and Professor Du's daughter end up like this?"
