Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Those who follow the way are aided by many
'It's just that he moved the drawer a little, and then he sealed Zhao Xing's collar and asked him to apologize. If he doesn't apologize, he will be slapped immediately. How can such a student not be punished to convince the others?' Vice Principal Li's wife, who was comforting Zhao Xing, interjected.
As she spoke, her eyes kept staring at Feng Yiping, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. On the one hand, she was a little sad that Zhao Xing had been slapped, and on the other hand, she felt that Feng Yiping had shown contempt and disrespect for her husband, the vice-principal of the school, and had also insulted her. Isn't it said that when you hit a dog, you also look at the master?
Vice-principal Zhang and the head of the teaching department spoke in low voices, as if they hadn't heard her. Wang Yumin didn't say anything either, her eyes fixed on the ground, while Feng Yiping glanced at the middle-aged woman, who was full of indignation, and then looked out of the window.
Apart from the low whispers of the two leaders by the coffee table, the living room was quiet. No one agreed with her, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Vice-principal Li felt his face getting hot. He slammed his water glass down on the table and said, 'This is official business. What are you meddling in? You can leave now. Zhao Xing, stand up. You don't deserve to sit at an occasion like this!'
His wife glanced at the two people by the coffee table and glared at Vice-principal Li again. She walked out with a thud, and Zhao Xing followed unwillingly, standing by the wall.
'What do you think?' Vice-principal Li asked the two people by the coffee table.
Vice-principal Zhang smiled and said nothing, while Vice-principal Feng Yiping cut in before the head of the teaching department could say 'Well...'
Feng Yiping felt that Vice-principal Li's performance today was far from up to standard. It was like what was written in many novels: when the protagonist clashes with a rogue, the first thing the police do is to put the blame on the protagonist without asking for the cause or the circumstances.
For example, his first words were, in this matter, what causal link is there between good grades and hitting people?
I guess he didn't want to be too partial to his own thoughtless relative, but there was also the issue of face. If Zhao Xing was wronged at Liangjiahe Middle School, and he couldn't get the person who wronged Zhao Xing punished, then in the future, in front of his relatives and friends, he would have nothing to say and would definitely lose face.
'Zhao sat in my seat to chat up a girl in the class, blocking her in. At the same time, he rummaged through my drawers without my permission, and even tore open my locked notebook. After the incident, not only did he not apologise, he also insulted my parents. I couldn't stand it any more, so I struck.
I admit that I was wrong to hit him, but it has nothing to do with whether I am a good or bad student. At the same time, Zhao Xing started the fight, and then insulted my parents. Up to now, I have received 8 years of schooling. It is impossible for me to remain indifferent when someone insults my parents for no reason. Therefore, if the fault in this matter is very serious, I believe that student Zhao should bear at least 70% of the responsibility.'
Feng Yiping is no longer the child who was afraid of his teacher and has his own judgment.
It was a pretty good thing, but because of your bullshit relative, it made all three classes a bit uneasy. Such a black sheep bullied Feng Yiping, so he just let him hit him. He even felt that the beating was a bit late and should have come back earlier. As for punishment or anything else, he didn't want to bear any at all.
Feng Yiping preempted Wang Yumin's words, and she was less worried. Vice Principal Li didn't care about Feng Yiping, but it was different for her. After all, she was the leader, and it wasn't hard to find ways to give her a hard time when it came to bonuses, merit reviews, and title reviews.
'So you have to hit people? Can't you just talk nicely?' Vice-principal Li still stared coldly at Feng Yiping, but it had no effect at all. On Feng Yiping's face, he could not see the slightest trace of fear, and there even seemed to be a hint of...disdain in his eyes?
Hearing what vice-principal Li said, Feng Yiping really wanted to greet his mother on the spot and see his reaction. Of course, it seemed like just a thought. 'I wanted to talk nicely, but I couldn't help it at the time.'
This half-true, half-false truth sounded real to the teachers, unlike Zhao Xing's earlier words, which only picked and chose what was favourable to him.
No matter how outstanding his grades are, he is still a child, and it is a normal reaction to slap someone back when they call you a motherfucker.
So, after hearing Feng Yiping's words, Vice Principal Zhang still didn't say anything, and blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface before drinking. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The two vice-principals usually did not get along very well, but he would not take the initiative to offend Vice-principal Li for Feng Yiping. Of course, the fact that he was able to sit here now already showed an attitude.
The head of the teaching administration said, 'The situation is clear. It should be said that both parties are at fault. How should this be handled? What do you think, Vice-principal Li?'
'In any case, it is wrong to hit someone first. This kind of behaviour must not be allowed to spread. I propose that Feng Yiping be given a demerit for fighting with a classmate, to set an example,' said Vice-Principal Li.
'I disagree!' Wang Yumin and Feng Yiping shouted at the same time.
In principle, Vice-Principal Li should have recused himself from handling such a matter. Not only did he dominate the meeting, but he was also blatantly biased, so Feng Yiping had no reason to be polite.
'I would like to ask, according to which school rule will you punish me? As far as I know, Zhao Xing is not enrolled at our school. This dispute between him and I should be considered a conflict with a person outside the school.' Wang Yumin was lucky to be able to help him speak up, and Feng Yiping didn't want her to offend Vice Principal Li again, so he once again took the initiative to ask.
Vice Principal Li was taken aback. Indeed, Zhao Xing was not a student at Liangjiahe Middle School.
Vice-principal Zhang also chimed in, 'This matter does require both sides to reflect on themselves. Summer vacation is for catching up on missed lessons, not for other things. But it seems that there have been a few similar incidents over the past month or so, and the teaching affairs office still needs to take responsibility.'
'Yes, we will definitely step up our work. I think that's all for now. Feng Yiping, you should apologise to Zhao Xing first, and then go back and wait for the school committee's decision,' the head of teaching affairs said.
To be honest, he was also a bit disgusted. Dealing with his own student, who was also the best performer, just because of a student from another school was something he had never done before, not to mention that his student was in the right.
As for Vice Principal Li's proposal, it was just for listening. If he really wanted to implement it, Vice Principal Li would have to remove the word 'Vice' in front of his title first.
There is a strange phenomenon in the education sector. Many teachers may not be able to discipline their own children, but one thing is undeniable: after years of work, they understand these students, and they are all very astute. After observing them for a few days, they can roughly know a student's character.
No matter how cunning a junior high school student is, at most they are just underage little foxes, so how can they compete with these seasoned old hunters?
For a troublemaker like Zhao Xing, there is no need for observation. From the situation that has come together, one can already tell what kind of person he is.
'Sorry,' Feng Yiping said dryly in Zhao Xing's direction, then turned to look at the homeroom teacher.
'You can go back first!' Wang Yumin told him.
Zhao Xing's downfall was that his uncle was not the headmaster. If he were, he could have forced the passing of a demerit for Feng Yiping, but his uncle was only the vice-principal, and it was generally difficult to get the other vice-principal to support his proposal, not to mention that the other vice-principal had quite a good impression of Feng Yiping.
The head of the teaching department would only follow the headmaster's lead, and he also wanted to become a school leader, even if it was only a deputy! At a time like this, it would be good not to add fuel to the flames, so how could he agree with Vice-Principal Li's biased words?
Feng Yiping followed Zhang Qiuling back to the classroom, where he was immediately treated like a hero returning from victory. Some students applauded, while others gave him a thumbs-up. It can be said that this scene in the evening made many people re-evaluate Feng Yiping.
A day later, the school principal returned to school and called the three homeroom teachers of the third grade to a meeting with the school leaders.
He was also very annoyed. Generally, such trivial matters did not warrant his personal attention, but in this case, a vice-principal was involved, and one of them was Feng Yiping, who was most likely to help him achieve a breakthrough in getting accepted into a municipal high school in his current position. Therefore, after receiving a call from the director of teaching, he immediately rushed back.
The school's good results make his resume look good, and his future will be brighter and smoother. Anything that could endanger his future, even if it's Vice Principal Li, will be dealt with without any face-saving.
That afternoon, the school committee's decision came out. In addition to an apology, Feng Yiping was also required to write a 2,000-character self-reflection, which was posted on the school bulletin board.
A resolution was also reached at the meeting that in the future, transfer students, repeaters, students transferring from other schools, and students of other statuses entering the third grade must be properly educated. These new students must not be allowed to affect the originally stable and united learning atmosphere of the third grade. Those who fail to meet the standards should simply be excluded.
It is said that the principal also said at the meeting, 'Don't let a single bad apple spoil the barrel.'
This is probably the case of having many supporters when you are in the right and few supporters when you are in the wrong. If a meeting of all the teaching staff was held, I guess the result would still be the same.
The three grades of junior high school can actually be said to be serving the third grade. The results of the third grade are not only related to the homeroom teacher and the subject teachers, but are also an important indicator of the overall performance of the school, and are related to all the teachers.
It is better if such things don't come out, but since they are on the table, no teacher will stand on the side of the variables that affect the learning of the third grade, except for the person involved.
Not to mention that you are the vice-principal's relative, even if you are the principal's relative, the teachers will still have something to say.
You are a student from another school, and under the guise of supplementary lessons, you completely disregard the teachers and classmates, acting recklessly and blatantly bothering those female students everywhere. Who can stand by and watch? Allowing him to run around for half a month has already given Vice-Principal Li face.
The day after the results came out, Zhao Xing was sent back by Vice Principal Li, and Feng Yiping's self-criticism, which had been posted on the notice board, disappeared that night.
