Chapter 327 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 27
"Fine, since Director Wang thinks this is unreasonable, then I have nothing more to say."
Shen Ci said coldly, and then dialed the phone.
"Hello, is this Director Li?"
I am Shen Ci. I apologize for bothering you, but I would like to inform you that I may need to reconsider the investment, construction, and public welfare projects we discussed in Beijing.
The reason? Well, it's mainly because of the children's education.
My son was wronged and severely slandered in public by his classmates.
When we went to the school seeking a fair investigation and apology, the admissions office leaders accused us of being unreasonable and making trouble.
I am very disappointed with the educational environment and fairness here. Yes, let's put the investment on hold for now. Thank you for your concern.
Shen Ci finished speaking somewhat unhappily, saying that this was the correct way to use power: not to bully the weak, but to bravely defend oneself when bullied.
After hanging up the phone, I looked up and saw Director Wang's indescribable face.
"You're even making those intimidating phone calls! This is a school, not your backyard!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ci's slap came down from above.
"Snap!" The sound was loud, crisp, and pleasant.
Shen Ci rubbed her wrist and looked at him coldly.
"So? Can one hand clap?"
Those in positions of power should fulfill their responsibilities. Since you are in this position and receive a salary from the state, you should do your job well.
Flies don't land on eggs without cracks, but they can't withstand having dung poured on them. If you think it takes two to tango, I can give you a few more slaps.
"Never mind, I'm afraid you'll get your fill of beating me."
Director Wang is the head of the admissions office. In this office, he is like the King of Heaven. He has never been humiliated like this before.
A person who originally had no great abilities, once they acquire a little power, will expand it infinitely, exploiting everyone they can, and enjoying the feeling of being an emperor.
No one has ever hit him before!
——
The principal's office on the other side.
The start of the school year is the busiest time for schools. The principal is already very busy, preparing for all sorts of meetings, when a phone call comes in.
"Hello, this is the principal's office of the Fourth Middle School."
Ah, Director!
"Is that so? I'll investigate right away and make sure I don't slander any student! Don't worry, sir!"
After hanging up the phone with the education bureau, the principal's face immediately turned extremely ugly; the school's performance evaluation for this year was probably doomed again.
——
Admissions Office.
Director Wang's anger at being beaten surpassed even the content of the phone call Shen Ci made. Originally, he wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but now he just wanted to fight back.
Just as he raised his hand to slap, the admissions office phone rang shrilly; it was the phone in front of Director Wang.
In principle, it should be shared by everyone in the office, but in reality, it is used privately by Director Wang.
The phone call interrupted Director Wang's impending outburst of anger. He quickly answered it, and after listening to just a few words, the expression on his face became increasingly interesting.
Red, yellow, green, white, their waists unconsciously bent lower and lower, and their expressions changed from anger, shock, and surprise to fear and respect.
There is no shortage of people like this in the world; their expressions change as easily as turning the pages of a book.
"Yes! Yes! Principal! Don't worry! I understand! I will definitely handle it well! Yes, yes, it was my mistake..."
After hanging up the phone, when Director Wang looked at Shen Ci again, his eyes had completely changed, filled with both awe and flattery.
Oh no, oh no! I've cursed so many pretentious people before, but this time I've run into a real god!
"Ms. Chen! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
It was my mistake; I failed to recognize your worth!
Please don't get angry, the investment is a big deal! The child's situation is even more important! Our principal will be there soon and will definitely give you and Lu Jinnian a satisfactory explanation!
Shen Ci remained unmoved, coldly staring at him as he continued to explain.
A few minutes later, the principal rushed over and immediately grasped Shen Ci's hand tightly as soon as she entered the office. She was the only non-school staff member in the room.
"Ms. Shen, I am so sorry!"
We're sorry you and your child have suffered! Rest assured, our No. 4 Middle School will never tolerate any unhealthy practices!
We will definitely handle this matter seriously and investigate it thoroughly!
A woman with extraordinary connections came to the Fourth Middle School and made a phone call directly to the higher-ups.
The call went directly to the Education Bureau, which in turn went directly to the principal's office, demanding that the principal handle the matter personally.
After being angrily reprimanded by his superior, the principal didn't care about anything else and immediately sent people to the department store to verify the situation and find witnesses and testimonies.
Soon, testimonies from the mall office and street activists came back, showing that what should have been done in just a few hours was being dragged out for a week.
If this were just an ordinary child and ordinary parents, this matter could probably drag on for a lifetime.
During this time, Director Wang was thoroughly scolded by the principal, but he remained silent, only glaring at the female colleague who had reminded him earlier several times.
Once the situation was investigated and the testimonies were obtained, which were basically consistent with the description in Shen Ci's whistleblower letter, the principal decided to personally handle the matter at the freshman orientation meeting.
The principal himself went up on stage, his face serious, unlike before when he was always smiling.
After what happened, he really couldn't laugh anymore.
"Dear parents and students, at the beginning of the new semester, we are saddened to discover that a very small number of students in our school have engaged in misconduct."
In a public place outside the school, they made unfounded slanders and malicious attacks against our freshman Lu Jinnian and his parents. The circumstances were egregious, seriously violated school rules and regulations, and damaged the school's reputation!
The facts have been verified.
We now demand that the students involved, Zhu Yan, Wang Bin, and Li Qiang, come on stage and publicly apologize to Lu Jinnian and his mother!
The audience erupted in uproar!
What's going on here? They've never even heard of this!
The parents of Zhu Yan and the other two were also present, and they all looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on or why their children's names were suddenly being mentioned.
But being called out by name at this moment is not a good thing, and the parents were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and then pale.
At this point, most families who were still willing to support their children to continue their education in high school were educated families, and they all understood what the principal meant.
"Principal! Could there be some misunderstanding? The children joke around without thinking."
The principal dared not compromise; Lu Jinnian's parents had powerful connections, and if this matter wasn't handled impartially, there would likely be more trouble.
"joke?
To slander a classmate for having an affair in front of so many people in the mall—is this a joke? Having an affair is a serious crime that can land you in jail!
This is defamation! It's illegal! If you don't publicly apologize and correct your attitude today, we will deal with this seriously according to school rules, up to and including expulsion!
By the way, Lu's parents said that if your child doesn't apologize, they will call the police and sue you for defamation.
