Chapter 738: Director Zeng, Please Make a Stand

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi and Guan Xin hurried to the school together. Thanks to Guan Xin’s car, they arrived at the school in no time, then headed straight for the administrative building. This was where most of the school leaders’ offices were located, and it was the likely place for Teacher Zhou to cause a scene if she wanted to confront the school leaders.

As expected, as soon as they entered the administrative building, they saw Su Bing, who had been waiting for Gu Zi’s arrival. Su Bing spotted his mother immediately. “Mom, you’re here. Hello, Sister Guan Xin. Teacher Zhou is currently causing a scene in Director Zeng’s office. Let’s go up.”

Gu Zi nodded, and a memory surfaced. Director Zeng, the elderly woman who had warmly received her and her two children on their first day, was the same person, wasn’t she?

She remembered that the kind old lady’s surname was Zeng, and out of respect, everyone affectionately referred to her as Director Zeng. She turned to Guan Xin, “On the day of registration, Director Zeng specially received us. You had something to do with that, didn’t you?”

As Su Bing led the two of them towards the director’s office, Guan Xin kept pace and responded to Gu Zi, “You’re sharp. Indeed, I did ask Director Zeng to take special care of you. No need to thank me too much.”

Gu Zi chuckled, “My child was able to attend this school thanks to your generosity in giving us these two spots, in addition to recognizing my outstanding language skills. I will repay your kindness by doing my job at the newspaper well. However, I must say, since you’re here, we might need to rely on your influence as the principal’s daughter.”

From what Su Bing had said on the phone, Gu Zi had a rough idea of the tactics Teacher Zhou was using. She was spouting nonsense and making up stories. Unfortunately, in this era without video recording and limited audio recording, it was sometimes hard to distinguish truth from lies.

Gu Zi thought, rather than wasting time arguing with Teacher Zhou over her lies, it would be more effective to use her status to suppress her. Power should be used when necessary, and she believed Guan Xin was not so high-minded as to refuse. After all, it wasn’t worth spending too much energy on such a person when she had articles to write.

Coincidentally, Guan Xin was here today. Having Guan Xin confront Teacher Zhou was the quickest solution to this issue. It would also serve to intimidate Teacher Zhou. Regardless of who was pulling Teacher Zhou’s strings from behind the scenes, they should be silenced for a while.

Guan Xin chuckled, “I understand your intentions. You wish to resolve this matter as swiftly as possible, correct? Rest assured, I share your sentiments. After all, I was the one who introduced your children to this school. It’s clear that Teacher Zhou is trying to undermine us. Furthermore, Yang Zhen had previously mentioned to me that Teacher Zhou has been singling her out and causing her trouble at school. Today, we should settle all these issues.”

Before the trio even reached the door, they could hear the lamentations of Teacher Zhou emanating from the office, “Director Zeng, I am truly wronged. I have been teaching for so many years, how could I possibly single out a student? I won’t mention the past, but today’s incident, Teacher Yang’s actions are truly inappropriate. Director Zeng, you must stand up for me!”

Yang Zhen, standing disdainfully to one side with Su Li, waited for Teacher Zhou to finish her complaints. Then, without backing down, she retorted, “Director Zeng, if you are to stand up for Teacher Zhou, you must also stand up for me and student Su Li. You are well aware of how I came to this school. Teacher Zhou has been spreading rumors that I entered the school through improper means. I have not made a fuss about it until now, but her actions are becoming increasingly outrageous.

“Teacher Zhou has also been unfair to Su Li. She has unjustly assigned Su Li to a special seat at the corner and even told the class that Su Li is a child from the countryside and that sitting with him would have a negative influence. I ask you, is this the kind of perspective and rhetoric a teacher should have? I implore you, Director Zeng, to take a stand!”

The usually spirited elderly lady, now seated at her desk, wore a troubled expression. Everyone was asking her to take a stand, but she was unclear about the specifics of the situation. How was she to make a decision?

Teacher Zhou’s words might not be trustworthy, but she had no evidence to prove that Teacher Zhou was causing trouble or that Teacher Yang was in the right. It was indeed a difficult situation.

Just then, Su Bing knocked on the half-open office door and entered with Gu Zi and Guan Xin.

Upon seeing the parents and Miss Guan Xin, Director Zeng stood up, feeling as if she could finally breathe, “Su Li’s mother, Xin Xin, your timing is perfect. I presume you are here because you’ve heard about this incident?”ƒreewebɳovel.com
