Chapter 88: Path Winding Through Mountain Ridges
“This student really got on my nerves!” Jin Xisen put in a lot of effort to make sure he looked angrier. “Headmaster Li, you must not stop me today. I am going to expel this student!”
“Student?” Headmaster Li was shocked for a while. “What’s the matter? Old Jin, calm down! Talk to me.”
“How could I calm down! I am really mad!” Jin Xisen said, “I have been a discipline teacher for so many years, but I have never seen such an arrogant student!”
“What happened? Old Jin, what’s the case with the student you mentioned?” Headmaster Li asked.
“This was the case!” Jin Xisen sat on the sofa and said with indignation, “Today, there were Grade 12 Class 7’s students fighting in Math class. When I asked them to the discipline room, I never thought that he would dare to actually beat up the student one more time right in front of my face! He really thought that I was transparent! He’s now disrespecting the school, which is also challenging your authority in school!”
Jin Xisen set a trap for Headmaster Li.
“Old Jin, the students in Grade 12 have great pressure on them. If there was nothing big just close one eye. Let’s not speak of anything emotionally like expelling a student!” Headmaster Li advised.
“Emotional?” Jin Xisen stood up from the sofa shortly. “Headmaster Li, I can be counted as asenior in Song Jiang No. 4 High School. I am going to put things out today. It’s either him or me! If I don’t expel him today, I, your discipline teacher, am going to take a leave and go back home!”
“Old Jin, what are you doing?” Headmaster Li said, “It was really just a small issue. You are the one who made it big yourself!”
“Headmaster Li, my decision is firm! This is the expulsion request that I wrote for this student. Approve it!” Jin Xisen started to force the decision.
“This... ai! Alright, let me investigate the matter clearly first!” Headmaster Li sighed helplessly. “If the case was actually what you have described, then we will discuss again whether or not to expel this student!”
“Okay!” Jin Xisen nodded his head.
Headmaster Li took the expulsion request passed by Jin Xisen and started to read through it. After he got a brief idea of the situation, Headmaster Li wanted to bring Zhao Ying to verify it!
He remembered Yang Ming. That main character who was courageous in helping others - was this student named Yang Ming in Grade 12, Class 7! However, I don’t know what medicine this Old Jin took wrongly to make him want to expel this student!
Fighting this kind of case can be a really big or small case. Therefore, Headmaster Li wanted to ask for Zhao Ying’s opinion. Headmaster Li thought for a while. He also gave Grade 12 Class 7’s class teacher, Li Huihua, a call for her to come along as well.
After a while, Zhao Ying and Li Huihua both came into the headmaster’s room.
“Teacher Zhao Ying, Teacher Jin had said that in one of the lessons this afternoon, Class 7’s Yang Ming was fighting with a student named Chen Afu in your class. Was there really such a case?” Headmaster Li asked.
“Fighting? Both of them only had a small conflict and they stopped after a while! I have already scolded them!” Zhao Ying said.
“Teacher Zhao Ying, you just need to answer whether they both fought. There’s no need to explain so much! Did they fight?” Jin Xisen interrupted.
“They did!” Since the discipline teacher questioned it, it was Zhao Ying’s responsibility to answer.
“It’s enough that they did. However, this student named Yang Ming didn’t have a single trace of will to change his attitude even after he had arrived at the discipline department. He beat up Chen Afu right in front of my face. Therefore, I have decided to expel Yang Ming!” Jin Xisen said.
“What? Expel Yang Ming? Jin Xisen, you think we would expel him just because you said so? I disagree!” Li Huihua rebutted immediately! Even though Li Huihua also deeply disliked Yang Ming’s habit of fighting with others, she was still slightly more protective towards her own students. Especially when Yang Ming had gotten such a good result. Firing Yang Ming was equivalent to taking away a percentage of her prestigious university enrollment rate! She would, of course, disagree with it.
“I have already reported to Headmaster Li. The final decision is made by our headmaster!” Jin Xisen said.
Li Huihua looked at Headmaster Li and said in a serious tone, “Headmaster Li, you must give it a second thought. Yang Ming is the number one student in our class. In the last examination, he got a total mark of 703. If you did expel him, there would be plenty of schools who would be lining up for him!”
“Number one!?” Jin Xisen was stunned for a moment. He was the one responsible for the students’ discipline and didn’t really care that much about their grades. He just thought that someone like Yang Ming who fought every day and mixed with bad students would be someone with bad grades. Therefore, he naturally assumed that Yang Ming was among the few of the worst students and expelling him wouldn’t make any difference! However, he never thought that Yang Ming would be a top student! It seemed like the case was getting out of his hand!
