Chapter 66: Am I throwing dirty water?
"Yes, because of this incident, the school's century-old reputation is being questioned by all sectors of society, and many parents of students have complained to me." The vice-principal explained the seriousness of the matter in a serious manner.
Originally, for the sake of the principal's face, he chose to turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect that the matter would be widely circulated on campus. Now it is impossible for him to cover up even if he wanted to.
"This is also my fault. I felt something was wrong when I was registering for school. If I had known it would cause such a big fuss, I would not have said anything... Alas!" Wei Mingzhe sighed, with a look of self-blame and regret on his face.
Chen Yu glanced at Huo Yao. The little girl was standing among several people, isolated and helpless. Although her behavior of using the back door was a bit bad, after so many days of contact and observation, this child's character and learning attitude were really good.
If we talk about being questioned, it is this child who is caught in the center of a vortex of rumors and is pointed at by his classmates every day.
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Yu said, "It has already happened. There is no point in blaming anyone. Now we should think about how to put this rumor to rest."
The vice principal chuckled, "How can we calm this down? Apart from asking her parents to take her away and me writing an apology letter, there is no other way."
Upon hearing this, the Dean of Studies said anxiously, "No, Lao Wei, Vice Principal Xu, I have just explained to you that Huo Yao did not get in through the back door at all. Why don't you believe me?"
He had been helping Huo Yao to clarify and explain the matter since the meeting just now to discuss "Huo Yao's backdoor use", but he never expected that the vice-president would not give him a chance to speak and insisted on calling Huo Yao over.
"If Huo Yao really didn't get in through the back door, then why is it so widely spread in the school? Things have come to this point, do you still want to continue to protect the principal?"
The vice-principal looked at the dean with a look of deep sorrow, as if he was disappointed with his attitude.
When the Dean of Studies heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. "Covering up the principal? What do you mean by that, Vice Principal?"
"I always thought the principal was a fair and honest person..." The vice principal glanced at Huo Yao with a sneer in his eyes, "but I didn't expect that he would also be confused sometimes."
Although he did not directly say that Huo Yao was admitted through the principal's back door, no one present could fail to understand the implication.
The Dean of Studies seemed to have finally figured something out, and instantly laughed in anger, "Vice Principal, although the principal is not in S City at the moment, it is not good to throw dirty water on him, right?"
The vice-principal's expression froze. He had always disliked the principal's condescending attitude. He finally got the chance, so naturally he wanted to step on him hard. However, he didn't expect the dean to speak so bluntly.
"Haha, I'm throwing dirty water? Am I bored and want to make fun of the school's reputation? Do you think that I, as the vice principal, don't have to take responsibility for this?" the vice principal said angrily.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
At this time, Wei Mingzhe looked at the two of them, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Director, it's not that the vice-president misunderstood the principal, but didn't you say on the first day of school that Huo Yao was a relative of the principal?"
Upon hearing this, the Dean looked at Wei Mingzhe in confusion, "When did I ever say Huo Yao is the principal's relative? Wei Mingzhe, you can't say that!"
