Chapter 11 Dean of Instruction_1
That was impossible. Whether it was Wanyou in her past life or Shangguan You now, even though they lacked sufficient strength, they both had a solid background.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the teachers instantly understood. Even the most temperate person has pride. Faced with so many students from the entire school, if they were in that position, they would surely have slapped the offenders fiercely a few times and kicked them hard. Shangguan You’s actions, in comparison, seemed remarkably lenient.
Although Feng Shao’an and his sister had brought it on themselves, Feng Shao’an’s father was the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau. An official one rank higher could crush those beneath. Now, the Feng siblings were even demanding Shangguan You’s expulsion. How should this be handled?
Old Chen was at a loss. His student might have acted wrongly, but not to the point of expulsion. In his heart, he felt a certain contempt for the Feng siblings’ behavior.
"Student Shangguan You, school is a place for learning, not for fighting at will and disrupting the school’s atmosphere. Such incidents must not happen again. Go back and write a self-critique for now," Old Chen sighed deeply, feeling some pity for the student before him.
"Absolutely not, Mr. Chen! This student’s actions have severely impacted the school’s atmosphere. If we don’t punish her severely, how can we expect the other students to respect authority?" Another stern voice rang out.
The Dean of Education rubbed a bald patch on his head, speaking with an air of righteousness. With the principal and vice-principal away on business, he was effectively the highest authority in the school. The Deputy Director had treated him to dinner just last night. As long as he handled this matter well, the vice-principal’s position would be his upon retirement. Perhaps even the principal’s seat would be his in the future. At this thought, he criticized Old Chen even more harshly. Letting Shangguan You off so easily—how could he possibly explain that to the Deputy Director?
"But, Dean, the fault isn’t solely Shangguan You’s. The Feng siblings also bear responsibility."
"That’s right. Feng Shao’an has always used his connections to bully others and hurl insults. I believe anyone else in that situation would have resorted to violence too."
