Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Who are Li Chengqian’s parents? Please step out.” Outside the classroom, a serious voice came in.
“Mother of Li Chengqian, Director Chen from the Education Bureau is calling you. Please step out.” Wang Jianjia looked out and realized that it was the dean, Chen Qingquan.
She exclaimed in her heart, “The school works real fast. I just found out about Li Chengqian’s results and they had already arranged for the dean to come and receive Li Chengqian’s mother.”
“A student who scored full marks deserves this treatment.” Even if she were to take the exam now, she would definitely not be able to get full marks.
“Li Chengqian, you should go with your mother too.” Seeing Chen Li’s timid look, Wang Jianjia hurriedly suggested this to give her some support.
“Okay!” Li Chengqian nodded and helped his mother out.
In the classroom, after seeing Chen Qingquan appear, Liu Daqiang’s father, Liu Wendao, nodded gently at Chen Qingquan. The two of them greeted each other discreetly.
Seeing Chen Li’s timid and submissive body language, Liu Wendao couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. He relaxed slightly. “One look and I can tell that Li Chengqian’s mother is an ordinary person who hasn’t seen the world. If Director Chen intimidates her a little, things might be settled.”
“Come, let’s talk in my office.” Chen Qingquan didn’t say anything else and just led the way with a serious expression.
He didn’t pay attention to the results of the second mock exam.
Instead, he bided his time to come to Grade 12 Class 5.
He reckoned that Li Chengqian had already received his results.
And he already knew his ranking in school.
In addition, he also understood that according to the new school policy, Li Chengqian would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class after this exam.
“Mrs Li, I heard someone mention the conflict between your son and Liu Daqiang.” Chen Qingquan’s aura was especially strong. He pressed his hands on the edge of the table and leaned forward. This could create a strong sense of oppression.
Most people would crumble under such coercion.
“I have now understood the situation, it was just a prank.”
“Mrs Li, I think it is fate that Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang became classmates. There’s no need to harp on such a small matter. Be magnanimous. There’s no need to be so ruthless. I think we should just let the matter rest”
“If you really take this matter all the way, while you may feel good to have vented your frustration…”
“Liu Daqiang will also be destroyed.”
“Because of this incident, Li Chengqian won’t have any friends in the school.”
“Everyone will remember this matter even after leaving school. In the future, it will be hard for him to ask his classmates for any favors.” Chen Qingquan patiently explained the pros and cons.
Seeing that Chen Li and Li Chengqian were silent, his tone became even stricter, and his words took on a threatening tone. “Moreover, I heard that Liu Daqiang’s father is in construction. He’s an upstart and is especially wealthy. If you really destroy his son, he definitely won’t let the matter rest.”
Seeing the panic on Chen Li’s face, Chen Qingquan changed the topic. “Mrs Li, how about this? I’ll be a mediator for you and Liu Daqiang.”
“Liu Daqiang has indeed gone overboard this time. I’ll get his family to compensate you with 10,000 yuan.”
“Li Chengqian, you will then sign a memorandum of understanding to Liu Daqiang.”
“What do you think?” At this point, Chen Qingquan was 90% confident that Chen Li would agree.
Just as Chen Li was about to speak, Li Chengqian stepped forward and shielded his mother behind him. His voice was neither servile nor overbearing as he looked straight at Chen Qingquan. “Director Chen, I’m sorry.”
“I called the police five minutes ago!” Li Chengqian opened the call record on his phone and showed it to Chen Qingquan.
“What?” Chen Qingquan was so anxious he almost fell off his chair.
He thought that Li Chengqian was just making empty threats and didn’t think that he would actually call the police!
“Li Chengqian, how can you take your own initiative to call the police! The school rule is that you have to report to your form teacher if you call the police. Have you reported it to the form teacher?” Chen Qingquan started reprimanding him in a serious tone.
Students were young and impulsive. In most schools, conflicts between students were very normal. As long as it was not a particularly serious situation, the school would deal with it first.
“Li Chengqian, you have already violated the school rules by calling the police on your own. According to the school rules, you can be expelled.” Chen Qingquan started pacing the room, thinking about how to deal with the matter.
“It’s fine even if you have called the police. When they come later, don’t say anything. I’ll speak for the school.”
“I can let bygones be bygones and not hold you responsible for violating the school rules.” Chen Qingquan’s tone was filled with displeasure, and he became even stricter. In his eyes, Li Chengqian was like shit stirrer and all he does is cause trouble.
“If you spout nonsense, I’ll definitely deal with you according to the school rules.”
“Dean Chen, please think of a way…” Chen Li immediately panicked and said agitatedly.
“Mom, wait a moment. Let me handle this!” Li Chengqian pulled Chen Li back and looked straight at Chen Qingquan. “Director Chen, I don’t know what your relationship with Liu Daqiang is, and I don’t care.”
“What I want to tell you is that I’m going to tell the police everything that happened today.”
“Since Liu Daqiang dared to do such a thing, he must pay the price.”
“I’ll say the same thing no matter who comes to talk to me!” Li Chengqian glanced at Chen Qingquan coldly. “Dean Chen, if you want to expel me, feel free to…”
…
At the entrance of Grade 12 Class 5, Principal Wang Lingbo glanced at the classroom but didn’t see Li Chengqian.
After knowing that Li Chengqian was the number one in the entire province, and the only one with full marks, Wang Lingbo couldn’t wait to come over from the office to see Li Chengqian in person.
“Teacher Wang, where did he go?”
“Principal Wang, you’re here too? Li Chengqian and his mother were invited to the office by Dean Chen. Wasn’t it arranged by you?” Wang Jianjia asked curiously.
“No.” After Wang Lingbo said that, he quickly walked towards Chen Qingquan’s office.
In the classroom, Liu Wendao’s expression turned serious. He first sent a message to Chen Qingquan, then, worried, he lowered his head and called Chen Qingquan.
“Please don’t let Principal Wang find out,” Liu Wendao said anxiously.
…
“Li Chengqian, what do you mean?” Chen Qingquan’s face turned ashen as he glared at Li Chengqian. This was the first time he had encountered such a tough student who didn’t capitulate to him as the dean.
“Li Chengqian, do you really think I can’t expel you?” In Chen Qingquan’s eyes, Li Chengqian was still that poor student who could only score 280 marks in the exam. This time, he would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class.
Other than lowering the average score of Tianyi High School’s third-year students, he was utter trash.
Expelling Li Chengqian was a piece of cake!
No one would speak up for this trash, and no one would intercede for him.
He only needed to write a report to the principal’s office and he could easily expel Li Chengqian.
Outside the door, Wang Lingbo was originally happy, but after hearing this, his face fell and his eyes turned murderous.
