Seeing the students around her shooting daggers at her, Tan Jing suppressed her panic and pretended that she didnt know anything. After hearing this, she also looked like she was in shock. She muttered softly, Thats impossible, our family wouldnt do that! Then, she took her chance to escape from the crowd.
The crowd watched her run and didnt know whether to believe her or not.
Tan Jings image had always been that of a weak little white flower. She looked like a harmless young lady who was friendly with people everywhere. But recently, she has been acting strange. Not only did she get into a bad relations.h.i.+p with Tan Rou on multiple occasions; most of her lies were exposed in public and something like this had just happened.
Everyone had heard of the complicated relations.h.i.+p between Tan Rou and Tan Jing. Since this matter was started by the Tan family, it would be unconvincing if Tan Jing said that it had nothing to do with her.
In the princ.i.p.als office, Tan Rou had already revealed what she needed to do. She was not in a hurry to make things difficult for the rest of them and so she obediently waited to the side for the princ.i.p.al to speak.
The truth was already so clear that there was nothing to quibble about.
The princ.i.p.als expression darkened as he shot a cold glance at Director w.a.n.g. This meaningful glance made Director w.a.n.g even more guilty. He couldnt help but feel regretful. Why did he have to get involved in the muddy waters of the Tan family?
The princ.i.p.al looked at his pale face and hunched back. He sighed in disappointment. At first, he never wanted a fall out with Director w.a.n.g but he didnt expect him to be so corrupted that led to such a disaster. It was his own negligence.
With his hands behind his back, the princ.i.p.al slowly walked back to his desk and sat down.
Director w.a.n.g trembled with fear. He felt that the princ.i.p.als every step was like walking on the tip of his heart, every second of silence was a torturous trial.
Director w.a.n.g couldnt wait to beg for mercy. Princ.i.p.al! Since its my first offense, please give me another chance. Ive made a lot of contributions to the school over the years!
The princ.i.p.al was silent.
Tan Rou laughed. First offense? Director w.a.n.g had said that the Tan family had always been generous and had even promised to share everything with those working for him? Would this really be your first time? Im afraid that the parents of every batch of students have provided you with all kinds of benefits over the years, and youve become familiar with it!
The princ.i.p.al sighed, w.a.n.g Li, you have to accept your punishment for your mistake. I cant help you anymore. You have indeed contributed to the school all these years but now that youve made such a mistake, no one can help you!
The princ.i.p.al had always looked down on Director w.a.n.gs character but he still wanted to save him some dignity as there were so many students present here. He only said indifferently, Ill report the situation to the Ministry of Education. Just wait for them to come up with a decision.
Unfortunately, Director w.a.n.g didnt appreciate it. He had worked so hard and endured so many years of torture to get the position as the Director of this school!
Moreover, over the years, he had earned a great future in such a manner with his position and had a tacit understanding with most parents. How could Director w.a.n.g be willing to lose such a lucrative job?
When Director w.a.n.g realised that the princ.i.p.al had no intentions of protecting him and even wanted to report it to the Ministry of Education, he was instantly enraged. He didnt care about the students around him and shouted madly, Do you think Im the only one who got all these? Why dont you ask around?? Is there anyone in the teaching faculty that has not received gifts and benefits from the parents?! Thats all about the ways of the world! Why are you only targeting me?!
The princ.i.p.als face turned cold and he said angrily, I can guarantee it that I dont! Just because you cant resist the temptation, dont think that everyone else is like you!
Direction w.a.n.g sneered. Youre the one who thinks that everyone else is like you and thinks that pedantic is incorruptible! Ask Madam Li, would she dare admit that she has never favoured any students because of what their parents have offered?! Its because youve never cared about these things and Ive been the one dealing with them!
The Tan family has just donated two academic buildings to the school. Of course, we have to express our grat.i.tude! If everyone did what you did, where would we get the money for the school to continue developing? Im doing this for the school! How did I become the villain in this story??
Madam Li, who had been innocently implicated, had an embarra.s.sed look on her face. She wished that she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear. Being a teacher has always been a profession with a conscience. If she asked herself honestly, it was impossible to say that she had not given special treatment to any student because of their family background in all her years of teaching.
However, when Director w.a.n.g put it so bluntly, Madam Li was instantly embarra.s.sed. By now, she was so ashamed that she could not show her face.
After hearing Director w.a.n.gs words, the princ.i.p.al was infuriated. He reprimanded him sternly, Incorruptibility is never pedantic! The school is an environment purely built to educate students. If the teachers are rotten from the start, how would they produce good students? If someone donates a building not for charity but for personal gain, then they shouldnt have done the donation!
The princ.i.p.al looked at Director w.a.n.g in disgust. Dont use the ways of the world as a cover for your greed and shamelessness!
