After returning home, Ye Qingqing told Ye Mingcheng about Teacher He's arrogance. Ye Mingcheng was furious. "Outrageous! How can someone like that be a teacher? He's a disgrace to education!"
"I called Uncle Zhang and asked him to put in a good word with the Education Bureau."
Ye Qingqing planned to contact Sang Huaiyuan's secretary, Xiao Zhang. There was no need for Sang Huaiyuan to know about such a trivial matter; Xiao Zhang's face was enough.
After hearing about this from her, Xiao Zhang inquired about Wuchen School and Teacher He's name, then told Ye Qingqing not to worry about it. He called the head of the Education Bureau; the mayor's confidential secretary's influence was enough to make the head of the bureau take it seriously.
The principal was thinking of visiting the Ye family in a couple of days, but he felt he couldn't go too early and had to wait until the last day to show that he wasn't particularly concerned about the matter and couldn't show any weakness.
But just one day later, the principal received a call from his direct supervisor, who gave him a severe dressing-down.
"He Baihong has been suspended from her duties pending investigation. Such a scoundrel shouldn't be allowed to live. How could you even recognize someone like her as an outstanding teacher? It's utterly laughable and a disgrace to the mayor..."
After a long scolding, the principal finally understood and broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder that little girl Ye Qingqing was so arrogant; it turned out she was related to the mayor!
Fortunately, he didn't say anything offensive yesterday and remained polite, so he didn't offend the mayor's relative.
"Sir, Teacher He's brother-in-law is Deputy Director Wang," the principal whispered a reminder.
The mayor is indeed a powerful official, but the county-level officials are not as powerful as the local officials. What if Deputy Director Wang makes things difficult for him later?
"Are you suffering from dementia? This decision was made by Deputy Director Wang. He said that it must be investigated and dealt with strictly. We can't let her off the hook just because she's his sister-in-law. The requirements should be even stricter." The leader spoke in a high-sounding manner.
The principal curled his lip. "You've said both good and bad things. The leaders didn't say this before. They told him to be realistic and not to do things that don't please people. The awarding of outstanding teachers was also hinted at by the leaders. Now you have the nerve to say that he has dementia."
Although he was dissatisfied, the principal dared not express it. As the saying goes, "a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking one." He just wanted to stay in the community and wait until retirement, minding his own business and following the instructions of his superiors.
Since Deputy Director Wang had spoken, he wouldn't hold back. He'd been wanting to get rid of that woman surnamed He for a long time.
Ye Qingqing waited patiently at home. Only two days later, the principal personally came to her door, all smiles and speaking much more politely than last time, without any official airs.
"I have verified that Comrade He Baihong did indeed accept red envelopes and valuable gifts from parents on multiple occasions, which violated laws and regulations and violated professional ethics. The school has suspended her from her duties pending investigation."
The principal announced the punishment for He Baihong. This woman is basically finished in the education circle. Her only option is to change careers. Even private schools will not accept a teacher who has made such a serious mistake.
Ye Qingqing curled her lips into a smile. Sure enough, the mayor's name was effective; one phone call and someone was fired.
She didn't think she was heartless at all. People like He Baihong didn't deserve to be teachers. Tolerating such a scoundrel was the biggest mistake.
"The principal is wise."
Ye Qingqing flattered him. Although she didn't think much of the principal because he was opportunistic and a fence-sitter, Wuchen and Tiantian were both studying at the school, and she couldn't afford to ruin her relationship with him.
The next day, Wuchen went to school. His homeroom teacher was changed to someone else, who was said to be the best teacher in the whole school. Whether he was really that good or not was unclear, but it was true that this new homeroom teacher was not snobbish and treated all students equally. His professional ethics were definitely not a problem.
