"What's the grudge between Lin Xiaozhi and Su Qingyun? We have to get to the bottom of this!" Director Yang said after calming down a bit. "Also, is this just an isolated incident, or have other students encountered the same situation? We have to find out."
He was in charge of admissions and had seen countless students eager to go to school. He couldn't imagine whether there were many students like Su Qingyun who had been admitted to university but were rejected. Would their lives be changed?
What's worse, a more terrifying guess flashed through Director Yang's mind. The problem with Su Qingyun occurred during the registration stage. Could it be that some students had problems from the very beginning of the admission stage?
Thinking of those terrible speculations, he didn't dare to think any further.
"Director Yang, we know." The secretary smiled, "This is our job." The order has been issued from above, and all such false and unjust incidents must be investigated thoroughly, and no student should be allowed to suffer injustice.
"That's good." Director Yang still believed in their ability to do things. Just based on the fact that they found Lin Xiaozhi from Jiang Ming so quickly, he should trust them.
"Who exactly is this Lin Xiaozhi?" Director Yang turned the question back.
The clerk said, "Lin Xiaozhi is 26 years old this year. He comes from a well-off family and works in the municipal government. He is smooth and shrewd, and he has been promoted twice in just a few years."
"What?" Director Yang couldn't believe that such a person was still working in the municipal department. He felt a little scared. If such a person holds a high position in the future, what means would he use to deal with his enemies?
"Comrade, this matter and this person must be dealt with seriously!" Director Yang said again, feeling uneasy.
"Don't worry, we now have Jiang Ming's testimony and can bring him back for questioning at any time." The officer smiled. The order given to them this time was that no matter who it was, they must be treated equally and must be investigated and dealt with seriously!
"Then...what about Jiang Ming?" Director Yang sighed. Looking at the distraught Jiang Ming, he still felt a little reluctant. Although he had done something wrong, even hateful people can be pitiful. He has paid too much for his mother.
The official thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to wait until everything is investigated and see how the higher-ups handle it. For now, I'll suspend him."
"Okay, I understand." Director Yang could only nod.
"Then we'll get busy first." The clerk looked at Jiang Ming, "Jiang Ming, come over here and sign."
Jiang Ming walked over obediently and signed his name in the testimony record book. It must be said that his handwriting was really beautiful and his style was evident, but he signed in such a shameful place.
A tear fell from the corner of Jiang Ming's eyes. He had been taught to write by his grandfather since he was a child. If his spirit in heaven knew that he had used the characters he taught him to do such a bad thing, he would probably feel ashamed for him.
The officers went out.
Director Yang looked at Jiang Ming's red eyes, sighed, and patted his shoulder, "You, you, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Looking at Jiang Ming like this, Xiao Zheng wanted to sympathize with him, but as soon as he thought that if the matter was not investigated thoroughly, he would be the one to take the blame, he could not feel any sympathy at all.
Jiang Ming was stunned. Suddenly he raised his head and asked Director Yang a question, "If the protagonist of this incident wasn't a student like Su Qingyun, would you still take it so seriously?"
Director Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Of course."
He responded decisively, "No matter who this student is, we will investigate thoroughly, because every student has the same rights, and no one can deprive them of them."
Director Yang thought for a moment and added, "Not just students, but everyone."
is that so?
Jiang Ming looked a little absent-minded, and he murmured, "If..." If only his father could hear it, if only his father could wait until this day.
Jiang Ming recalled the past. His father was just an ordinary administrator in the Huaqing University Library. A few years ago, he could not bear to see the books being burned, so he kept some of them secretly. He was then criticized by those crazy people. Until his death, no one told him that what he did was right and he was not wrong.
Even if his father's injustice was finally redressed, what would it matter? He would never see him again. If his father were still alive, he might have gone to college like other students and pursued his dreams, instead of being like this now, where even though he felt resentful, he still had to take over the position that his father had left behind with his life, and take care of his mother. He looked so haggard at such a young age that people could hardly recognize him.
In this best university in the country, he looked at the lively faces and complained about life and fate day after day.
The moment he erased Su Qingyun's name, Jiang Ming couldn't explain his feelings: guilty, scared, excited, happy...
I can’t explain it clearly.
——————
The officials from the education department found Lin Xiaozhi at the train station.
At this moment, Lin Xiaozhi was saying goodbye to his sister.
"Take good care of yourself in the army. If anything happens, send a telegram home. Keep your allowance for yourself and don't send it home. Your family doesn't need your little money. Taking good care of yourself is more important than anything else."
Lin Xiaozhi stood on the platform, patiently giving instructions to his sister Lin Xiaolei.
"Okay, brother." Lin Xiaolei looked helpless. "I've been on vacation for the past few days, and you've been nagging me a lot. Now that I'm leaving, can you say something else?"
"You have no conscience. I'm doing this for your own good." Lin Xiaozhi scratched her nose unhappily.
