Chapter 163 – 164: Stirring Up Trouble
“No, I can’t take it anymore!” Wang Quanxi said angrily, “I’m going to the Education Bureau right now. I need to call those bastards over and see what they’re thinking!”
Having said that, Wang Quanxi grabbed his coat and headed out.
“Oh, Old Wang, don’t be like that,” Madam Wang urgently said, “You have high blood pressure; you shouldn’t get angry. It’s bad for your health.”
“Don’t stop !” Wang Quanxi was extrely furious.
Madam Wang couldn’t persuade him and could only let him go.
Soon, Wang Quanxi drove to the Education Bureau, and along the way, he called his secretary to inform all the school principals to attend a eting at the Education Bureau.
Now, the news had exploded like a bombshell.
Li Fukai, principal of the Fourth Middle School, was out drinking that evening, and while he was enjoying himself, he suddenly received a call from a friend. His friend sounded very anxious, and hurriedly said over the phone, “Old Li, sothing’s gone wrong, sothing big.”
“What happened?” Li Fukai hurriedly asked.
“You… don’t say anything, just turn on the TV,” the other side said, breathlessly, “Central Television, quickly turn it on.”
Before Li Fukai could respond, the call had already been ended.
Li Fukai hurriedly found the television and turned on Central Television. At that mont, a news interview was being broadcast, and Li Yunpeng was being interviewed on TV. When Li Fukai saw Li Yunpeng’s face, he was stunned, utterly dumbfounded.
“Oh my God!” Li Fukai went limp.
He had truly not expected that the issue would blow up on Central Television and suddenly let the entire nation know about Fourth Middle School of LJ City, introducing them to a rotten principal and a group of rotten leaders at the sa ti.
“It’s over, it’s over…” Li Fukai watched and repeatedly exclaid it was over. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.
Even after the interview had ended, Li Fukai still hadn’t snapped out of it. His friends from the bar ca looking for him, only to find Li Fukai collapsed in front of the hallway television.
“Old Li, what’s wrong with you?” his friends urgently asked.
“Don’t… don’t bother with !” Li Fukai was completely dumbfounded. He quickly stood up, saying, “No, I… I need to call Secretary Liu.”
Before he could make the call, another call ca in, it was Liu Huai Shan from the education departnt.
“Old Li, it’s bad, sothing has happened,” Liu Huai Shan hurriedly said.
“I already know,” Li Fukai hurriedly said, “Old Liu, think of sothing, what should we do now?”
“It’s over, it’s all blown up on CCTV,” Liu Huai Shan said angrily, “I can’t do anything. I predict a storm is coming tomorrow.”
“A storm…” Li Fukai was shocked, his eyes swirling, “No… it can’t be a storm. I have to ask Secretary Liu for help.”
“Old Li, let tell you, even Secretary Liu can’t protect you now,” Liu Huai Shan hurriedly said, “We are all implicated in this. We need to think of a solution fast, figure out how to dissociate ourselves from this ss.”
“How do we dissociate?” Li Fukai hurriedly said.
“We have to find Li Yunpeng!” Liu Huai Shan hurriedly said, “We must find him, then figure out a way to coax him into telling everyone that he wasn’t forced into being a security guard by us.”
“Who did it then?” Li Fukai hurriedly asked.
“It doesn’t matter who did it, as long as it wasn’t us,” Liu Huai Shan hurriedly said.
“So, we need a scapegoat?” Li Fukai suddenly realized.
“Exactly!” Liu Huai Shan nodded.
After ending the call, another call ca in. It was from Wang Quanxi’s secretary: “Principal Li, Director Wang just sent a notice, requiring all middle school principals in LJ City to arrive at the Education Bureau by 9 o’clock for an ergency eting. Anyone who fails to attend will face consequences tomorrow!”
“Yes, yes!” Li Fukai quickly nodded.
After hanging up, his phone rang again. Li Fukai looked at those calls, his head throbbing with pain, knowing he wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Yet, he had drunk too much, and if he went to the Education Bureau eting, he’d surely get a scolding. But if he didn’t go, the consequences tomorrow would be even more severe.
After so thought, he decided to rush to the Education Bureau eting. As he left the bar, his pocket phone kept ringing incessantly; apparently, many people had seen the evening news. As the principal of the Fourth Middle School, he had to shoulder a great responsibility.
Li Fukai hurriedly drove straight to the Education Bureau.
Fortunately, there were no traffic police checking for drunk-driving along the way; otherwise, Li Fukai would have been in trouble.
Intoxicated and hurried, he made his way to the conference room of the Education Bureau, where more than a dozen middle school principals had already arrived. Everyone was sitting solemnly, and they all knew what tonight’s incident was about. Most of those present had seen the news that evening, and even if they hadn’t, they had inquired about the matter on their way here.
“Now, Li Yunpeng’s issue has escalated to Central Television.”
“Yes, it’s troubleso now. Our Education Bureau is probably going to be the target of national condemnation.”
“No wonder Director Wang urgently summoned us here. If it were , I would have lost my temper long ago.”
At that mont, Li Fukai entered the conference room, and the originally bustling room instantly quieted down. Everyone’s eyes turned towards Li Fukai. With a bewildered face, he smiled, “Haha, what’s with everyone looking at like this? You make feel embarrassed.”
“Old Li, you really stirred up a ss,” Li Hengzhong, sitting in the frontmost seat, stated. Fourth Middle School was a national key school, and his status as the principal naturally placed him above others.
“Er…” Li Fukai was startled and said awkwardly, “I… I just found out about this matter.”
“Sure, you revel in luxury daily, of course, you only just found out,” Li Hengzhong mocked coldly.
“Li Hengzhong, stop mocking ,” Li Fukai quickly retorted, “We are gathered here to discuss a solution, not to mock , okay?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” People nearby nodded and said, “We should be thinking about how to solve the problem instead of infighting.”
Upon hearing this, Li Hengzhong stopped talking.
Just as everyone was heatedly discussing, Wang Quanxi walked in from outside with a furious expression and his body radiating anger as if he was about to explode. The arrival of Wang Quanxi silenced the conference room instantly, and everyone automatically stood up.
“Director Wang!” everyone greeted.
“Everybody, sit down,” Wang Quanxi glared at them.
“Er…” Everyone wore an awkward expression.
“Everyone saw the news last night, right?” Wang Quanxi said, his face darkening.
The whole room looked at him, remaining silent.
Bang!
Wang Quanxi slamd his hand on the conference table, yelling, “You’ve completely disgraced , Wang Quanxi. Are you trying to condemn in front of the whole nation? Are you trying to ruin and the entire LJ city’s Education Bureau? Do you understand?”
Everyone was too frightened to make a sound.
Wang Quanxi’s anger made everyone lower their heads. Li Fukai kept his head down, not daring to look up.
“Li Fukai!” Wang Quanxi shouted angrily.
“Present!” Li Fukai quickly stood up, his face flushed, a deep red from drinking.
“You’ve been drinking?” Wang Quanxi sneered, “Good, you’re doing a great job as a principal. Li Yunpeng, such an excellent teacher who was once honored as a national outstanding teacher, is now driven to be a security guard, pushed away by you, alive. Tell , how do you plan to solve this?”

“I…” Li Fukai said awkwardly, “I don’t know about this.”
Bang!
Wang Quanxi slapped the table again, yelling, “Even on the verge of death, you dare to argue? Without your authorization as the principal, who would dare push him to the edge?!”
“I…” Li Fukai kept his head down, not daring to speak, knowing the more he said, the more errors he’d make.
“Tell , what should you do?” Wang Quanxi pressed.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go find Li Yunpeng,” Li Fukai said awkwardly, “I’ll invite him back to Fourth Middle School, definitely offer him the treatnt he deserves, and make up for the salary owed to him!”
“People’s hearts, people’s hearts!” Wang Quanxi said with a vengeful look, grinding his teeth, “I’ve emphasized many tis that once people’s trust is lost, it’s very, very hard to regain. But you never take my words seriously, always treating them as if they’re just passing wind. Now look, you’ve created such a big ss, soone has to stand up and take the bla.
I’ll repeat what I’ve always said, whoever causes the ss, I will remove their ’hat’!”
Sss…
The room erupted in a commotion, and everyone gasped in shock.
Wang Quanxi had always appeared gentle and refined; no one had ever seen him lose his temper so greatly. Today, they realized that Wang Quanxi could also show such a formidable side, leaving them utterly shocked.
However, everyone could understand. After all, family scandals should not be publicized, but now it was exposed right on Central Television, so it’s understandable that one would lose their temper, and quite severely at that. A group of high school principals kept their heads down, not daring to speak or even raise their heads, just letting Wang Quanxi scold them harshly.
“Let tell you, this matter is not over!” Wang Quanxi stood before them, sneered, and then said, “The Municipal Committee will definitely hold a eting tomorrow since this issue has co to CCTV, and we must provide an explanation to the nation. So people think they are not afraid of death? Tomorrow, let’s send them to the guillotine!”
