Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Zhou Family
Qin Zhiyuan looked at Su Yuanyuan’s expression and knew she was really angry this time, so he hurriedly followed behind.
When Su Yuanyuan arrived at the office, she saw an elderly man with a kind face sitting there.
"Comrade Su Yuanyuan?"
"Yes, that’s me."
"Comrade Xiao Su, I am aware of the incident that occurred at the school gate this noon." He stopped speaking after that.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t respond at all.
At this moment, Qin Zhiyuan came in. "Principal Zhang."
"Comrade Qin, why are you here?"
"I saw everything that happened at noon, thinking you might need me." He sat down to the side after speaking.
Zhang Guohai frowned. However, he didn’t say anything, but his impression of Su Yuanyuan worsened.
"Comrade Xiao Su. This incident has a very negative impact on the school. Your actions have brought a negative influence on the school."
Su Yuanyuan suddenly stood up, "A bad influence? What is an influence? I see you should feel unhappy, thinking the situation at the border hurts us more."
Both people in the office frowned. However, Qin Zhiyuan understood the meaning behind Su Yuanyuan’s words, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
She really doesn’t take a loss. This is Su Yuanyuan.
"Comrade Xiao Su, what are you talking about?"
"What is Principal Zhang saying? What does what happened at the school gate have to do with me? Just because he came looking for me? You say I’m a bad influence?
Is this how you act as a principal? I’m really worried that the students in the future will have skewed values."
This time, Zhang Guohai also wore a stern face and lost his smile.
"Comrade Xiao Su, please correct your attitude. Do I not have the right to inquire?"
"Inquiry? Did you say you were inquiring? You are convicting me, aren’t you?
Don’t speak so grandiosely. You know what you think, haha, I’ll write a complaint letter about Principal Zhang too, but if I ask for your forgiveness later, will I be forgiven?"
The office fell silent. Zhang Guohai was really furious; no one had ever spoken to him like this before.
"Are today’s students really so lacking in respect for teachers and morals?"
"Hmph, it also depends on whether it’s worth it? Don’t talk to me about integrity and virtue if you can’t do it yourself; on what grounds do you expect others to?
And what promise did Zhou Licheng give you? For you, a teacher, to do such an immoral thing?
Don’t you have a bit of exemplary conduct as a teacher? On what grounds can you demand it from others?"
Su Yuanyuan’s words were indeed sharp.
Zhang Guohai’s face turned pale, mostly out of shock, the rest out of anger.
After speaking, Su Yuanyuan walked out. Whatever you want to do, others can’t interfere. But she wasn’t easy to push around, and Zhang Guohai had miscalculated.
Qin Zhiyuan now had no expression on his face. He knew Zhang Guohai was aware of Su Yuanyuan’s identity, yet he still acted this way, wanting to pull rank and use his status to oppress others.
"Principal Zhang, I will report this matter." With that, he also left.
Now, the fear weighing on Zhang Guohai’s heart grew even heavier. At his age, was his reputation going to be ruined?
He really felt he wasn’t wrong. He just wanted to ask what happened. How did it come to this?
Furthermore, he regretted it quite a bit; he shouldn’t have agreed to Zhou Licheng for a painting. Now, this affair was certainly known, and his lifelong reputation was at stake.
Su Yuanyuan felt very uneasy inside, and this was why she didn’t want to interact with people. It was too complicated.
Classmates in the class now avoided Su Yuanyuan, wow, she was quite aggressive at a moment’s disagreement.
Moreover, they truly respected her; after getting home, they even asked around about Su Yuanyuan, and now understood this girl’s identity. Although her current level wasn’t particularly high, she had the backing of some influential people.
The few who had hostility towards her became more sensible. She wasn’t someone they could offend, and their families had repeatedly stressed that they mustn’t provoke Su Yuanyuan.
After school in the afternoon, Qin Zhiyuan followed behind Su Yuanyuan, "Xiao Su, still angry?"
"No, I always retaliate immediately when something happens, never leave unpleasantness for myself, and don’t bottle it up inside."
"Hmm, that’s good."
"Secretary Qin, I’ll be leaving now."
Su Yuanyuan had really moved past the matter, but others didn’t feel the same way, especially Zhou Licheng.
Today he’d tried begging for his son, but it had no effect at all. He was deeply unwilling.
But at present, there were no other ways; attempting to go through higher channels was completely unfeasible; no one would see him now.
Zhou Changchun anxiously awaited news from his son, and seeing him return in low spirits, he didn’t need to be told what happened.
"Dad, that Su Yuanyuan is indeed impermeable. I even knelt to her, yet she remains so arrogant."
Zhou Changchun gritted his teeth. Being made so ashamed by a junior, there was no chance of letting this matter pass.
Qin Zhiyuan returned to work and reported today’s events to Zeng Zhenqing.
"Xiao Su is still the same; she’s a girl with such a stubborn temper, huh?
There’s no need for us to involve ourselves in the Zhou family’s affairs. If Zhang Chunsheng cannot clear this up, he might not get over it for the rest of his life."
Qin Zhiyuan nodded, "Zhang Guohai is really getting more muddled with age."
"Alright, just let him quietly wait out his retirement and there won’t be any issues, but if he makes any moves, we will deal with him."
Really becoming more muddled with age. Doesn’t he know which matters not to meddle in?
Su Yuanyuan went home and helped Zeng Hongling make dinner. Several people chatted about their work while eating, keeping everyone informed and able to offer good advice.
As for today’s incident, Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t even bring it up, and she didn’t specifically know what had happened to Zhou Yongheng. In any case, she truly wasn’t planning on getting more involved.
As for Zhang Chunsheng, if he’s set on acting this way, Su Yuanyuan understood what was going on—if they want peace of mind, let them have it.
Upcoming study was getting more intense, with frequent tests, and Su Yuanyuan never made mistakes. Such performance made the teachers very delighted.
The teachers’ meeting mentioned the state of the students in this class; the teacher specifically mentioned her.
Zhang Guohai listened at the side, feeling bitter. At home, he talked about this with his elderly partner.
After getting scolded, Zhang Guohai had a realization. He’d spent a lifetime educating others, always thinking what he said was right. Now, this situation really awakened him. He was close to retirement; what was there to fight over? His partner was right—he was getting muddled with age.
