Chapter 118: Probing (1/2)

“Principal, please don’t listen to him talking rubbish. All of these were given to me by an anonymous person. Originally, I wanted to hand it over to let you take a look, but I have never thought that the other party would actually post another set at the announcement board,” He Decheng knew that he was too agitated just now and had almost exposed himself as he tried to keep himself calm and explained.

“Since this matter is not real, then let’s forget about it. There is still a week before the national exam. I do not hope for this to ever happen again,” the Principal thought for a way to handle this.

“However, Principal, now that this matter has already been disseminated throughout the school, if we were to not be able to come up with a rational reason to give the students, I think it would be quite inappropriate. Furthermore, even if this matter was not real, for a teacher and student to be together like this, it will certainly cause misunderstandings. Even if we were to say that this is fake news, the students may not believe us. Wouldn’t it cause others to think that we are covering the matter up?” After great difficulty, He Jian was finally able to think of a good plan to entrap Yao Na. He did not wish to let her off so easily.

“Then what do you want to do?” With He Jian continuing to oppose him, even the principal had already gotten agitated by him.

“I feel that this matter has already affected our school’s reputation. Teacher Yao’s way of taking care of her student has caused us to admire her, but her way of conduct was evidently a little too excessive. In the future, if someone were to send us photos of Teacher Yao and her students being a bit too intimate, then how would others view Teacher Yao and our school? Therefore, although Teacher Yao is dedicated to her job, I feel that she isn’t fit to continue being a teacher in our school. As for Student Cheng Yu, in order to allow students to continue to respect their teachers and strictly maintain their conduct, I feel that we should expel him, but since the national exam is near, we can use some discretion and announce this whole incident to the whole school in order to warn others not to follow such bad examples.”

He Jian was just trying to mess with Yao Na and Cheng Yu, so it was impossible for him to be able to spot that the Principal’s face had already turned very gloomy. He voiced out the outcome he had thought of and also said it in a reasonable and justified manner making it sound extremely fair. Especially when it came to handling Cheng Yu, it even caused the others to feel that He Jian was a teacher who treasured the students.

“Haha! Since it’s like this, I must thank Teacher Hao Jian for taking care of me, and giving me a chance to make a fresh start,” Cheng Yu laughed.

“I only spoke according to the facts. You don’t have to thank me,” He Jian said complacently.

“Principal, the school is a place to teach and educate people and the reputation of the school is upheld by the teachers. However, for Teacher “Hao Jian” to fool around and even after knowing nothing happened between Teacher Yao and I, he still wishes to expel both of us to protect the school’s reputation. Don’t you feel that this is too unreasonable?”

“This matter has indeed affected our school’s reputation and what Teacher He said was also quite reasonable. But to handle it like this is really too overboard for both Teacher Yao and Student Cheng Yu. How about this, although we couldn’t prove if the matter was true, we still need to pay attention to this and prevent it from happening. Teacher Yao will just have to write a report and must pay attention to how she conducts herself in front of her students. As for Student Cheng Yu, we will just record it down as a minor mistake,” The principal ended the whole incident without expelling anyone.

“Principal, the punishment for this matter is too light! It will not deter others from committing such problems in the future,” He Jian hurriedly said when he heard how the Principal wished to end this incident.

“Stop! Let’s end it here. All of you can leave,” The Principal glared at He Jian, who still wished to continue voicing his opposition.

He Jian knew that this incident had officially concluded. Without a choice, he got ready to leave the office.

“Teacher Hao Jian, I heard that you spent $30,000 to get all these photos,” Cheng Yu laughed.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I obviously…obviously saw it from the school announcement board!” He Jian almost exposed himself just now due to being too angry. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed what he said. After that, he left hastily.

“It’s done. Let’s leave,” Cheng Yu said to Yao Na after he saw He Jian leaving the office hastily.

“Hmph! All this happened because of you! I already said not to go outside to eat. Now, you see! The whole schools know about it and the way they commented on it was so unpleasant,” With only them left behind, Yao Na spoke to Cheng Yu resentfully.

“Haha! Isn’t this just a small matter? Actually, I prefer it this way. I really do wish something had really happened between us,” Cheng Yu never once paid attention to this kind of matter.

“I am too lazy to bicker with you. In the next few days, you must come to school to study obediently, and you are not allowed to skip classes,” Yao Na left after she said her piece.
