Chapter 164 – 165: Significant Impact
Having said that, Wang Quanxi turned and left.
He left behind a crowd of astonished people, all caught off guard, none daring to speak, let alone make a peep. They were so scared that their legs went weak. It wasn’t until Wang Quanxi had completely left that the group began to discuss.
“It seems this matter has beco troubleso,” Li Hengzhong said with a smile, arms crossed over his chest. “I didn’t expect it to blow up like this, heh heh…”
“Old Li, how do you think we should handle this?” a young principal curiously edged forward to ask.
“How would I know?” Li Hengzhong shook his head and said, “Even Director Wang can’t find a solution, what makes you think I could co up with anything?”
“That’s true!” everyone nodded in agreent, “Even Director Wang can’t think of a way, this really is troubleso.”
Li Fukai’s face was covered in frost, as if he were a frostbitten eggplant. Normally, many principals from other schools had close relationships with him. But now, these people dared not approach him. Li Fukai cursed them in his heart for being bastards. Sotis, they would co to him to ask for favors, to get their students into Fourth Middle School.
Now that he was in trouble, they all flocked to Li Hengzhong instead, leaving him completely out in the cold. Not a single person was around him. It was as if he were a plague deity, and nobody dared co near him.
“Sigh…” Li Fukai had truly experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, feeling utterly dejected inside.
Li Fukai stood up and staggered out.
Li Fukai felt incredibly dejected. Indeed, anyone who encountered such a situation would be out of luck. He couldn’t bla himself for doing anything wrong in the matter. If there truly was a fault, it was because Li Yunpeng was too stubborn, too single-minded. With him around, many things Li Fukai wanted to do couldn’t be accomplished. So, he had no choice but to find ways to push him out.
After all, everyone has their own self-interest. Who doesn’t consider their own benefit?
Even Li Hengzhong would do the sa for his own sake.
……
The next day at school.
In Grade 12, Class 3, many students gathered to discuss the situation, their interest piqued by the news broadcast and focus interviews they had seen the night before. Being senior students, they were sowhat sensitive to political matters. Moreover, the incident occurred in their own city, LJ, and happened around them.
What’s more, many of them attended Hann Training Class and were taught by Li Yunpeng. This further fueled their enthusiasm.
“I never imagined Li Yunpeng used to be so incredible!” Li Dapang said with a chuckle.
“Absolutely!” a boy nearby hurriedly added, “Now that he’s been on CCTV news, he’s definitely going to be famous. With this exposure, perhaps many schools will try to poach him. It’s possible that the Hann Training Class might not be able to keep him.”
“No no no, you don’t understand Li Yunpeng at all,” Big Fatty took on the persona of a boss, perching himself on the desk as more than a dozen students gathered around to listen to his story. Now that Big Fatty had money and was also working at Hann Training Class, many were trying to get on his good side.
Big Fatty chuckled and said, “It’s precisely Li Yunpeng’s stubborn temperant that got him kicked out to work as a security guard. Now that he has found a decent job, even if he’s offered a position as a regular teacher in a school, he probably wouldn’t want it.”
“Isn’t that a loss?” the boy quickly interjected, “In any case, people within the system at least enjoy better benefits, right?”
“With how things have developed to this point, do you think L能够who wouldn’t give him his due benefits?” Big Fatty scoffed.
“Uh…” the boy was taken aback.
“Even if Fourth Middle School doesn’t offer, the Education Bureau wouldn’t dare decline; and even if the Education Bureau doesn’t offer, the Municipal Governnt wouldn’t dare withhold,” Big Fatty had transford into an expert, calmly analyzing, “The entire nation is watching Li Yunpeng now. Read new chapters at Novgo
If the LJ City Municipal Committee doesn’t restore his benefits within the system, I fear the entire nation wouldn’t let them off the hook.”
“Hmm, makes sense,” a group of boys all nodded in agreent.
Xiao Han walked into the classroom. Seeing Big Fatty and a bunch of boys huddling together, he approached with a smiling face and said, “Big Fatty, are you holding a lecture over here?”
“Xiao Han.” Big Fatty quickly jumped down from the desk and pulled Xiao Han over with a laugh, “Let’s join in the chat, shall we?”
“Chat about what?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“About last night’s focus interview,” Big Fatty hurriedly said, “Don’t tell you didn’t watch it.”
“I watched it. What about it?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
Truth be told, Xiao Han wasn’t soone particularly sensitive to politics, and last night’s focus interview was treated as just another piece of ordinary news. If it weren’t for the fact that Li Yunpeng was the focus of the interview, he probably wouldn’t have been interested at all.
“Li Yunpeng was on CCTV,” Big Fatty said excitedly.
“I know,” Xiao Han nodded and said, “So what if he appeared on CCTV, it just increased Li Yunpeng’s popularity.”
“Hehe, you probably don’t know this, do you?” Li Dapang grinned and said, “Were all of Li Yunpeng’s past experiences dug up? Who drove a national-level excellent teacher like Li Yunpeng to beco a security guard? Who ultimately forced him to leave the school, to leave the job he loved the most? To you, this might not an much, but politically, it’s a very sensitive matter.
At the very least, it ans Li Fukai, the principal, has to step down, and maybe even the entire leadership of Fourth Middle School; at worst, the city’s Education Bureau and even the Municipal Committee could be implicated. Do you believe if I say that the Municipal Committee is in total chaos right now?”
“It can’t be that serious, can it?” Xiao Han frowned.
“Hehe…” Li Dapang gave a smirk and said, “Whether it’s that serious or not, just keep an eye on the local news and we’ll find out soon enough. Moreover, watch for the follow-up reports from CCTV, and we’ll know very quickly.”
“If that’s really the case, then doesn’t it an… Li Yunpeng is…” Xiao Han looked at Li Dapang with doubt.
“Don’t worry, Li Yunpeng is safe for the ti being,” Li Dapang laughed.
“I an, he might be sought after,” Xiao Han hurriedly said, “We finally got him to join Hann.”
“No way!” Li Dapang whispered, “Li Dapang’s character ans he won’t leave, so we can be reassured about that.”
Hearing this from Li Dapang, Xiao Han also breathed a sigh of relief. After serious consideration, it was certain Li Yunpeng wouldn’t go back. A good horse doesn’t eat the grass behind it, and besides, Li Yunpeng was a Thousand-Mile Horse. Having t his ideal match in himself, he definitely wouldn’t leave easily.
However, even knowing that Li Yunpeng wouldn’t leave, Xiao Han couldn’t help but feel a bit worried inside. He was sowhat distracted during the entire day’s classes. Chen Zihan reminded him multiple tis, but he just couldn’t concentrate.
……
Municipal Committee Office of the provincial city.
Director Wang of the Education Bureau arrived early in the morning to admit his fault.
“Secretary Liu, I am to bla,” Wang Quanxi sat in front of Liu Guomin.
“I’ve seen the news from yesterday,” Liu Guomin said, biting on a cigarette with a grim expression, “This matter is not really your fault, but you can’t completely dissociate from it either. However, now that it has happened, we need to think about how to face it!”
“It’s already been exposed on CCTV, we need the determination to make a hard decision,” Wang Quanxi said anxiously.
Liu Guomin looked worried and said, “Li Fukai, he…”
“We should imdiately remove the leadership team of Fourth Middle School,” Wang Quanxi hastily said, “Not just that but also give them a party warning. It will serve as a warning for the other principals in the city as well.”
“This…” Liu Guomin hesitated to decide; after all, Li Fukai was his man, and Fourth Middle School was a key school in the city. After hesitating for a mont, he asked, “Old Wang, how about we take a different approach? If we handle the situation with Li Yunpeng properly, can’t we build an image of one who can recognize and correct their errors?”
“No way!” Wang Quanxi imdiately rejected the idea, saying, “This problem must be dealt with at the source. Whoever made the mistake pays the price. Whoever sows bitterness reaps it themselves. We can’t let everyone else carry the black pot with him, can we?”
“Hmm, that makes sense,” Liu Guomin nodded. He took a deep breath and said, “Then remove the whole team from Fourth Middle School. Let Li Hengzhong take on this responsibility.”
“Okay,” agreed Wang Quanxi.
As the head of the Education Bureau, he had the authority to directly remove Li Fukai and his team, but due to the significant impact of the incident, he had to consult with Secretary Liu. Regardless, since Li Fukai was Secretary Liu’s man and considering Liu Guomin was the top leader of the Municipal Committee, he had to show respect and consult him.
With Liu Guomin’s authorization, Wang Quanxi decisively began to act.
The issue in the city had reached CCTV, prompting Liu Guomin to convene a eting of the Municipal Committee about how to strengthen the managent and construction of the teaching staff. During the eting, Liu Guomin made several demands and also called for more excellent teachers like Li Yunpeng in the teacher corps and fewer who flattered superiors and profited under the guise of training.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, the day after the news broadcast.
The Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Departnt held a press conference, inviting several authoritative and major dia from the provincial city to broadcast live on-site.
The press conference was nothing more than an announcent of a result.
That afternoon, journalists from over a dozen dia outlets arrived. The conference room in the Sheraton Hotel was chosen as the venue, set up solemnly and sternly, making many look particularly strict. As the dia journalists arrived, the atmosphere beca even more tense and unusually lively.
