Chapter 839: School Rectification Campaign

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The school leader’s smile froze, then morphed into a forced grin. With so many eyes watching and ears listening, he couldn’t simply ignore the question, nor could he admit that he was unable to answer.

The audacity of the boy was astounding. He could have answered the question directly, but by asking it publicly, he was essentially seeking the school’s approval. From then on, even if he said something he shouldn’t, the school would have no grounds to reprimand him.

However, the school leader was confident. In Guangcheng, students from the First Bilingual Primary School were always praised wherever they went. He was genuinely curious as to what could possibly tarnish their reputation.

After some thought, he responded, “Don’t worry, speak freely. If there is indeed an issue, it will serve as a lesson for all of us, pushing us to guide our students in a more scientific direction.”

Su Bing had been waiting for this official rhetoric. He picked up the microphone and addressed the reporter, “It’s actually a minor issue. Before the final match, Senior He Jiang told me that since I was from a rural area, I should follow his instructions and help him score to bring honor to the school. I felt this was unfair, so I told him that he could also assist me in scoring.

“My mother always told me to walk the talk. So, during the match, I showed Senior He and those who have prejudices against rural children that the school’s teaching of equality is correct. Even a rural child like me, with Senior He’s assistance, can bring honor to the school. The fact is, Senior He did cooperate very well, and I am very grateful to him!”

The school leader was taken aback by this unexpected response. For a moment, he was at a loss for words. In fact, before encountering Su Bing, he subconsciously believed that city children were smarter than rural children and looked down on them. Similarly, many teachers and parents in the audience lowered their heads in shame.

Su Bing’s actions not only slapped He Jiang’s face but also theirs. He showed them that anything was possible and they should never underestimate anyone.

Moreover, Su Bing’s words hinted at something more. It seemed that he had faced a fair amount of discrimination at school because he was a rural child. Now that he had openly voiced this to the reporter, the school would have to respond, or it would be hard to justify.

As Gu Zi looked on, she understood why the second runner-up had failed to show up. It turned out that he had underestimated the boss, and had been put in his place by the boss’s formidable strength. Truly, the boss was a super villain worthy of his reputation in the original book.

Cool!

At this point, the school leader finally reacted. He had to maintain the school’s image, so he made a promise to Su Bing on the spot.

“Su Bing,” he said, “I assure you here and now that the school will immediately initiate a rectification campaign. We will regulate and scrutinize the conduct of all teachers and students. If any serious violations are found, the school will directly expel the offenders to rectify the school’s ethos.”

A few days later, Su Bing once again made the front page of the Education Daily.

The issue of urban teachers, students, and parents discriminating against rural children, as reported by Su Bing, had drawn the attention of the education department. The education bureau issued a document requiring all urban schools to strictly rectify their ethos, promote interaction between urban and rural schools, and help township schools experience advanced and open education models.

Meanwhile, the rectification of the ethos at the First Bilingual Primary School had achieved preliminary results. Teachers like Zhou Hua and He Li, who had severely damaged the school’s ethos, were suspended from teaching.

After the rectification, the school would consider whether to dismiss them.

Zhou Hua was so angry that she ended up in the hospital. She had just thought of a way to deal with Su Li and his group, but how had she been suspended so suddenly?

It wasn’t just her suspension. Even the management fee for the snack street outside the school, which she had obtained for her husband through connections, had been taken away. If her husband found out about this, wouldn’t he kill her?

Before Zhou Hua could figure out a solution, He Li stormed in, cursing and swearing, “Zhou Hua, I thought you were my friend, but you’ve ruined me. If it weren’t for you telling me to deal with Su Bing, how could I have ended up suspended? I’m telling you, if I get expelled from the school, I won’t let you off!”

Zhou Hua was also furious. Seeing He Li turn against her, she retorted, “You have the nerve to blame me? You’re the fool who lost the team bonus, and let Su Bing cause such a big fuss right under your nose. Can you blame me for your stupidity? I haven’t even started on how you’ve dragged me down, you idiot!”

The two women argued back and forth, and after a few rounds of verbal sparring, they ended up in a physical fight. Hair littered the hospital room.

When a reporter came for a follow-up report, he happened to witness this dramatic scene. He captured it with his camera and it was published in the next day’s Education Newspaper.

The school leaders were furious. They felt that the school’s reputation had been completely tarnished. They immediately decided, “Zhou Hua and He Li will be directly expelled!”
