Chapter 1334: The Uneducated Come to Promote Culture
Xiao Peng was playing games at home, while Chen Cheng and four others stood beside him with nervous expressions.
"Alright, stop looking so sad!" Xiao Peng said, "You're acting like you're attending my funeral."
Chen Cheng said: "Boss, we made a mistake this time. The key is that I made a mistake!"
Xiao Peng put the game controller aside and said, "No, no, no, Old Chen, you're actually not wrong. If this happened to me, I would make the same choice as you. I might even go further than you. After all, she's your daughter's classmate, right? Not to mention her classmate, if I were to encounter a fellow woman seeking help like this in a situation like that, I would intervene first."
After hearing this, Chen Cheng felt a little relieved.
Xiao Peng said, "Actually, at first I thought you were doing a great job. You have to lend a hand when your compatriots are being humiliated. Later, when I found out what happened at the police station, I thought you were just helping a fool. But even if she's a fool, she's still your compatriot! You should have helped her! But when I found out the truth, I was so angry I wanted to strangle you to death. But then I thought: If it were me, I would do the same thing as you, so I didn't get angry. It wasn't until Chen Cheng spoke up for her that I completely lost my patience."
Chen Cheng sighed and said, "Boss, this is my fault. I will take responsibility for anything that happens."
Xiao Peng said, "I have to pay them two million in compensation. They didn't ask for it, but you can't get away with it. Don't you want two million for my face? So, the punishment for you guys is as follows: For the next year, the four of you will only receive salary and no bonuses. You can express your opinions, but I won't accept them no matter what they are."
Chen Cheng and others felt that a crow was flying over their heads.
"Okay, it seems that no one has any objection. Then this matter is settled. Walter, call Fabian and tell him the result. At the same time, inform everyone so that they know about this!" Xiao Peng said directly to Walter.
"Yes, boss!" Walter walked out with the phone.
Xiao Peng took out a cigarette and Kasim quickly lit it for him.
Chen Cheng said, "Boss, I did this alone. Just punish me."
Xiao Peng's brows twisted into knots. "My words are really useless! I just finished speaking and you treat what I said as bullshit? Chen Cheng, you have two choices now. Either you become the boss, or you change the boss!"
Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "Boss, that's not what I meant!"
"If you don't mean that, then shut up! I've been good enough." Xiao Peng said angrily, "I've been really lax in my management of you. Life at sea is so boring. I turned a blind eye to you playing cards and gambling. I didn't even bother you drinking and looking for women. After all, you are all adults, most of you are older than me, and you should be sensible! But I didn't expect... you to disappoint me so much! You still want to bargain with me? I shouldn't have been in charge of you. Let you know what a prison here is like! How about it? Do you want me to tell the country about your good deeds? Ask them how to solve your problems? In fact, you don't even need me to ask. Maybe tomorrow morning's newspaper headlines will be about your deeds, and tomorrow at noon someone will call me to ask how I deal with your problems!"
Seeing Xiao Peng angry, Kaxin quickly changed the subject: "Boss, don't be angry. Lao Chen didn't mean that. He just felt sorry for us because he caused this incident and we had to be punished. He didn't question your decision. Lao Chen, don't think about it. This is all that silly girl's fault!"
Chen Cheng sighed after hearing this and said, "Duan Miao wasn't like this when she was little. Look how successful she is! She even got into the Wudaokou Academy of Fine Arts."
How come you have become like this after not seeing you for a few years?
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "How can a school that can't even spell its own name be so impressive? Daxia's biggest problem right now is finding a bunch of uneducated people to promote culture!"
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Xiao Peng hurriedly said, "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to look down on Beidu University and Wudaokou Technical School. These are the two best universities in our Great Xia. What I mean is that we shouldn't blindly believe in these two schools. What is the standard for judging the quality of a school? Isn't it based on whether they can cultivate talents? But those who can enter these two schools are already top talents, right? They are the ones with strength, talent and potential! Aren't those children who are unsuccessful and therefore strange?"
"Also, what exactly does 'success' mean? The Americans have sanctioned a bunch of universities in our country, but when have we ever seen them sanction these two schools? In 2005, Academician Yao Qizhi of our country established the 'Yao Class' at Wudaokou Technical School, dedicated to cultivating world-class top computer talents. At the time, there was a saying in our country: 'Half of the talents are in Qinghua, and half of the talents are in the Yao Class.' As a result, since the Yao Class was founded, there have been 366 graduates, 225 of whom have gone on to work abroad. Of course, I don't think they did anything wrong. It's all a personal choice. Everyone has different ideals, plans and ideas for the future, and pursuits. Moral blackmail is meaningless. But perhaps it is precisely because of this situation that they have not been sanctioned by the United States."
"And this Wudaokou Academy of Fine Arts is different from Wudaokou Technical School. Although both schools have the word 'Blue and White' in their names, the academic scores for art-related majors there are shockingly low. Let me tell you a true joke. When Wudaokou Technical School celebrated its centennial, Professor Hu from Wudaokou Academy carved a 'Blue and White Seal' with the four characters 'Blue and White University' in seal script on it. It was specifically placed in their 'I-shaped Hall' as the centennial symbol. But what happened? He made a mistake! He carved 'Qingchu University' instead. It's been there for over a decade, and no one noticed! The state seal given to the Prime Minister of Thailand was also carved by Professor Hu, also in seal script, but he made a mistake! Just imagine, if a professor has this level of skill, you can imagine the level of the students! A while ago, they held a student fashion design exhibition, and the models all had squinty eyes, which caused controversy. Instead of changing it, the public said, 'The public's aesthetic standards need to be improved.' This is the result of uneducated people engaging in cultural activities... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Chen Cheng, how did you resolve this matter?"
Chen Cheng sighed: "After all, she is my daughter's classmate. I bought her a plane ticket and sent her home."
Xiao Peng shook his head. "I'll get someone to keep an eye on you. I'm afraid she'll refund your ticket and take the money and stay here."
"Stay here? No way?"
