"Boss, you really are my boss. Did you transfer Xiao Luo to my school to protect your daughter or to beat up my students? One hundred and twenty-three minor injuries and one serious injury. Even his hand was broken. Now the news has spread throughout Huaye. The impact is huge. The head of the Education Bureau called to ask if I don't want to be the principal anymore. If I don't want to be the principal, I should get out as soon as possible. Tell me, how should I answer? "
In the principal's office, a man in his fifties was on the phone. He was unusually agitated. He knocked on the table as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.
"Hahaha … Old Dong, don't get so worked up. Things haven't gotten out of hand yet. Besides, I've investigated for you. That student named Song Jianan is a troublemaker in your school. He forms cliques and bullies other students all day long. It's very detestable. When they heard that Song Jianan was beaten up, the students of Huaye felt relieved." Chu Yunxiong laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Relieved my ass. It's easy for you to say that. Come on, let's swap places. You'll be the principal of Huaye and I'll be the boss of Chongshan House. How about that?" Principal Dong scolded.
Chu Yunxiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not as capable as you, Old Dong. I can't be the principal."
"Bullsh * t!"
Principal Dong hung up the phone angrily and sat back on the soft sofa. He pinched the tip of his nose.
"Principal, how should we deal with this matter? The parents of the injured students have asked us to punish the culprit severely, "the male secretary asked cautiously.
"What else can we do? Appease those who need to be appeased and compensate those who need to be compensated. I'll reimburse Chu Yunxiong for the amount of compensation," Principal Dong said.
The male secretary said worriedly, "If the parents are unhappy and report the matter to the media, I'm afraid we'll be in a difficult position."
"Difficult my ass. There's no video evidence. How can they defame Huaye based on their words alone? It's the biggest joke in the world. I'll say their son was injured because he trained too hard. Let's see who the public will believe more. "Principal Dong was already in a terrible fix and his temper was at its peak.
The male secretary could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. He now seriously suspected that the principal used to be in the underworld. He was so domineering, and he even said that others were just talking nonsense. You're the one who's talking nonsense. You're talking nonsense, saying that you got beaten up because you got injured during training.
"By the way, how is that student called Song Jianan?" Principal Dong suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Because he was sent to the hospital in time, his hand has been reattached. He should be able to recover in two or three months. The reattached hand can satisfy his daily needs, but it won't be very useful for practicing martial arts," the male secretary replied.
"That's good."
Principal Dong heaved a sigh of relief. "Where are his parents?"
"Song Jianan was very stubborn. He refused to inform his parents, and the numbers he left in the school's files were all invalid."
"Heh … this brat is still a bit manly. I'll find some time to go and see him!"
A look of admiration appeared on Principal Dong's face. The members of the mixed martial arts club were all adults, and he felt that adults should take responsibility for their own actions. He looked down on those who called their parents for no reason, or even threatened to die because of a sprained wrist.
"Principal, that Xiao Luo …"
"Call him over. I'd like to see if this beast has three heads and six arms," Principal Dong said angrily.
"Yes."
The male secretary acknowledged and left.
Not long after, Xiao Luo walked in accompanied by his counselor, Qin Nanyu.
Qin Nanyu was very nervous. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Principal Dong's eyes. She looked like she was pleading guilty. "Principal, it's all my fault. I didn't teach my students well. I can't absolve myself from the blame for what happened. I …"
Principal Dong waved his hand and interrupted her. "That's enough. It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Xiao Luo next to you."
He picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea as he spoke.
"Yes, it's not Teacher Qin's fault. I'll take responsibility for what I did," Xiao Luo said, puffing out his chest.
"How are you going to take responsibility?"
Principal Dong immediately became angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "The leaders of the Education Bureau, the major media outlets, and the students' parents are all watching this. If I hand you over to them, you'll be carved up in no time. And you still want to take responsibility for what you did? If it weren't for Chu …" At this point, he realized that Qin Nanyu was still there. He immediately stopped and did not say that name. He coughed a few times and continued, "… I wouldn't have cared about you, kid. I would have handed you over to the police to deal with."
Xiao Luo finally understood that Chu Yunxiong's connection was not with Qin Nanyu, but with the principal of Huaye, Dong Zhenwu. It made sense. Only the principal of Huaye could have so easily inserted Chu Yunxiong into Huaye. How could a mere counselor accomplish such a feat?
"I've reflected on myself. I was a little rough when I was in the army. I'll be more careful in the future. I'll accept any punishment you want from me, Principal. Whether it's a warning or detention, I'll accept it."
Now that he had calmed down, Xiao Luo was very easy to talk to. He used his student persona to give Dong Zhenwu a way out.
Warning? Stay in school for probation?
Was this the punishment you deserved for your problems?
Dong Zhenwu was furious. A fight of this nature could have easily involved the police, but this kid was good. He had directly categorized the matter within the school's jurisdiction. The school's punishment was nothing more than these. Xiao Luo was not a real student to begin with. The school's punishment for Xiao Luo was equivalent to no punishment at all.
Qin Nanyu chimed in, "That's right, Principal. Xiao Luo was just a little rough, or …"
"He was just a little rough? One person taking on more than a hundred people. It's more exciting than a movie. You call that a little rough? "
Dong Zhenwu snorted and turned to look at Xiao Luo. "You're really something, kid. Thanks to you, this old bag of bones has successfully made my presence known in front of the leaders of the Education Bureau. I really have to thank you."
"You're welcome, Principal. It's what I should do," Xiao Luo said with a smile.
Dong Zhenwu suddenly stood up and glared at him. "You rascal, do you really think I'm praising you?"
"Aren't you?"
Xiao Luo said neither humbly nor arrogantly. He had already figured out that Dong Zhenwu was under Chu Yunxiong's instructions to suppress the matter, so he could sit back and relax.
You ~! ¥% … &
He was afraid that if Xiao Luo continued to stay there, he would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.
Xiao Luo turned and left. Qin Nanyu felt as if she had been pardoned and walked out of the office in embarrassment.
"Principal, you're letting him off just like that?" The male secretary was puzzled.
"Every student at Huaye is like my child. I treat them all equally. I hope that they will shine brightly in the future and become pillars of the country. The matter has already been exposed. No matter how you punish Xiao Luo, it won't make any difference. It's better to deal with the aftermath."
