Chapter 198
Things had gotten to this point, so the head teacher had no choice but to call the parents. Su Miao, Ye Jiayin, Li Fang, Wu Guihua, and Wang Danniu, who had participated in the heated debate, all went to the office to wait, while the other students in the class studied on their own.
Su Yuanzheng naturally arrived the fastest. After receiving a call from the school, he immediately came here in a hurry.
After hearing the whole story, he was very angry, but he held back after being comforted by his daughter. He waited for the parents of the other three classmates to arrive, and then he used the office phone to dial the number of Deputy Director Feng's office on the spot.
Deputy Director Feng confirmed Su Miao's statement, which embarrassed the parents and made them apologize to Su Miao repeatedly.
Finally, under the mediation of the class teacher and school leaders, the solution was for several people to jointly write an apology letter and post it on the school bulletin board, solemnly apologizing to Su Miao and restoring Su Miao's reputation.
Su Miao readily nodded in agreement to this solution, because she knew that the school would deal with this kind of gossip that had not yet caused any substantial harm by suppressing it if possible.
Besides, she doesn't have any strong backing, so they won't be punished more severely if they continue to make trouble.
Although she didn’t, Sister Jiayin did! They had just discussed this quietly, and now she just had to wait and see how Sister Jiayin performed.
Wang Danniu and Li Fang were both forced by their parents to apologize to Su Miao, but Wu Guihua's parents couldn't say anything to her and had to be humble on behalf of their daughter.
Just when they thought the matter had been resolved and were about to return to the classroom, Ye Jiayin, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word, spoke up: "Wait, my matter is not resolved yet, are you going to leave?"
Everyone turned around in surprise. "Huh? What's the matter?"
At this time, a burly man with a righteous face walked into the office. Although he was not wearing a coat, it could be seen from his pants and shoes that he should be a soldier, and following behind him was actually the principal of a high school.
He looked around the suddenly silent office, nodded to Ye Jiayin, and then walked straight to the head teacher.
"Hello, you must be Jiayin's homeroom teacher. Jiayin's parents couldn't come because of work, so they asked me to come on their behalf."
The head teacher was shocked by his intimidating power and quickly stood up to shake his hand: "Hello, hello, I am Jiayin's head teacher."
The principal winked at the other school leaders present and said to the man, "Director Tang, these are just some misunderstandings between classmates. We have mediated them. Director Zhang, don't you agree?"
Director Zhang quickly replied, "Yes, that's right. Those three students made unfounded assumptions about their classmates, which caused a negative impact. They've been ordered to apologize and will be asked to write letters of apology and post them on the bulletin board."
Chief Tang didn't care what they said. He turned to look at Ye Jiayin and listened to her. After all, he came here specifically to support her. If he just let her go like that, wouldn't he have come here in vain?
Ye Jiayin's voice was quiet, but the content was shocking: "Uncle Tang, the matter of them publicly accusing Miaomiao of being a fraudster has indeed been settled, but the matter of them insulting martyrs and insulting soldiers has not been resolved yet."
When these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale with fear. Wasn't this just a simple quarrel between classmates? How did it suddenly escalate to such a serious level as insulting martyrs and insulting soldiers?
Wang Danniu said in a trembling voice, "Who... who insulted the martyrs! Don't talk nonsense."
"You said it. You said that Sister Jiayin's grandfather, father, and uncle are all scammers from the north. The whole class heard it." Su Miao's voice sounded crisply.
Upon hearing this, Commander Tang slammed his desk and shouted, "Asshole! You! How dare you! Jiayin's grandfather was my father's old leader, an important general who died in the Korean War! When he died, her uncle and her father were only two or three years old.
Her uncle now holds an important position in the Beijing Military Region, and her father is a scientific researcher receiving a state subsidy! How could such a red and professional comrade be slandered by you with such eloquent words? Principal Hu! You must give me a reasonable explanation today!
Ye Jiayin added, "Also, you keep saying that the Su family's ideological awareness is low because they're self-employed. But as far as I know, Su Miao's grandfather was a retired soldier who died protecting public property more than a decade ago. In my opinion, he was much more conscious than you narrow-minded people."
Hearing this, Chief Tang, who had not noticed Su Miao and Su's father just now, also cast a serious look at them.
Oh my goodness! They never knew Ye Jiayin had such a strong backing! The admissions file only stated that her father worked in a scientific research department and her mother was a reporter, but there was no mention of her grandfather or uncle. Now the school leaders were really sweating.
The students who started the trouble were almost scared to death. They felt like they had hit a brick wall and now their toes were hurting badly.
When things escalate to this level, it is no longer as simple as mediation. Even calling the police and arresting people is possible.
However, the school certainly does not want to make things worse, so it has been trying to mediate.
The parents of several of them apologized very sincerely and hoped that the matter could be mediated privately. After all, they all have jobs and do not want the matter to be reported to the public security department, as this would make it difficult to arrange for their children to work in the future.
After an hour of negotiation, the final solution was that Li Fang, who first spread the rumors, and Wang Danniu, who provoked the incident, were persuaded to withdraw, while Wu Guihua was given a serious warning, and the reasons for the persuasion and the serious warning would be made public.
This is equivalent to leaving a stain on their resumes. Even if they transfer to another school in the future, they will not be able to get into university if they do not make meritorious contributions to offset the score.
Even if they get a job with the help of their parents in the future, they can only do a stable job and it will be difficult to get a significant promotion, but this is already a very good result for them.
When this happened, everyone in the class was stunned. They never expected that Su Miao and Ye Jiayin's grandfathers were both meritorious officials of the country.
Those classmates who gossiped and looked down on them behind their backs all looked embarrassed and guilty.
They realized how ignorant and ridiculous their previous behavior was, and expressed their sincere apologies to Su Miao and Ye Jiayin.
At the same time, classmates became more wary of them and no longer dared to treat them as casually as before.
Su Miao and Ye Jiayin didn't think this was a bad thing. They didn't dare to get close, which saved them a lot of trouble, and they were also happier with the peace and quiet.
People with different ideas cannot work together. They do not need to have friends who are forced to be compatible. It is not the number of friends that matters, but whether there is true mutual respect, understanding, trust and compatibility.
