Chapter 5 An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (34)

  Just when Gu Xiang and Tong Hua thought that the video incident would fade away with time, Donghu Middle School welcomed a rare wave of news.

  Wave after wave of newspaper reporters and TV station journalists swarmed in, fortunately the security uncle who was guarding the door had many years of work experience, one look at the situation, all were not good, he did not dare to take the initiative to open the door and let these reporters in. Now, it is said that reporters are no longer called reporters, but paparazzi, meaning they love to go around digging up other people's ugly affairs and then report them through the media, causing the parties involved to lose face and reputation.

  The security guard hastily called the principal to ask for instructions on what to do.

  Before long, the director of teaching appeared in the school's broadcasting room.

  He also didn't let any reporters in, just asking through the iron gate: "What's your business?"

  "We heard there was an incident of a student framing another student at this school and we'd like to come in for an interview."

  "Is this considered news?" the director of education asked in surprise, he knew that students had contacted the media on the day of the incident, but at the time he didn't think much of it, and he didn't believe any media would take a conflict between students as news.

  "Ah, coincidentally, we're just about to do a column on the growth of young people, so I'm begging you, Director, to show some mercy and let us in for an interview." The reporter was also a seasoned veteran, with a very humble attitude, as long as he could get in for an interview, he would probably be willing to kowtow.

  "Sorry, I think it's a misunderstanding. Our school has never had such an incident and now is class time, so all irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter." The director of studies said with a flourish and left.

  Leaving that group of reporters staring at each other in front of the iron gate, seeing no hope, they slowly retreated. However, they didn't go far.

  The Dean of Studies broke out in a cold sweat and rushed into the principal's office to discuss countermeasures.

  The principal listened to his account, and the old strategist's face also showed some worry, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

  The video incident two days ago, he is absolutely not allowed to leak out, let alone make a fuss in the media, isn't this deliberately making things difficult for him with his official hat on?

  The principal immediately made a decisive decision: "We must stop the development of the situation. Immediately convene an emergency meeting for the whole school. Seriously declare that if any teacher or student leaks out half of the video incident, the teacher will be dismissed immediately and the student will be expelled on the same day!"

  The headmaster hastily ran out. This time, he didn't dare to use the school's loudspeaker to notify all teachers and students. Those reporters hadn't gone far, probably waiting for the lunch break to ambush and interview the students at the school gate. If a notification was made through the loudspeaker now, the reporters outside would definitely hear it - wouldn't that be like "stealing a chicken and losing the rice"?

  The head teacher adopted the approach of notifying each class teacher individually, who then passed it down to their own classes, thereby minimizing the disturbance and frightening all teachers and students without anyone noticing.

  He was very confident that as long as he said it, he would be expelled. Those teachers and students were not afraid of anything, let alone the teachers who would lose their jobs, but just the fact that the students could get into this key middle school was not easy at all. Moreover, going out is also very prestigious, most importantly, this school has a high percentage of students entering provincial key universities every year. Entering this middle school is equivalent to having one foot in a 211 university, and now the students are more cunning than each other, who would ruin their future just for the sake of justice?

  However, only Class 1(1) was not notified, and since the video was played two days ago, Teacher Qin has been nowhere to be found, even the principal can't get in touch with her.

  The head teacher couldn't help but sigh and had to go personally to Class One Grade One to inform them.

  He finished what he had to say and quickly escaped, not knowing if it was an illusion in his mind. When he spoke, he always felt that there was a pair of cold eyes among the students below him, scrutinizing him. Those eyes had a kind of magical power that made him feel fearful. But when he searched for those eyes with a big heart, he found nothing, and the children under the podium looked so pure and harmless.

  The Dean of Education's heart was inexplicably flustered, this feeling as if he had encountered it somewhere before, Ah! In the electrical room!

  His heart suddenly contracted and cold sweat immediately flowed out.

  As soon as he left, Tang Sugar also looked listless. Originally, she had hoped that those videos from who-knows-where would be played and catch the attention of the school leaders, then the case would be reopened for retrial, her grievances would be redressed, and her punishment would be lifted. Now it seems like an empty dream. Even the Dean of Studies came out to stop it. She really didn't know why the Dean was so protective of Tong Hua and Gu Xian Ye. Was she a relative? She randomly guessed.

  "Don't worry, your matter will be resolved perfectly in a few days." Chen Xiaonuan comforted her with one glance at her worried heart.

  "How did you know?" Tangtang sometimes felt that he was like a prophet, and could always predict accurately, her heart slightly put at ease.

  "Just wait and see, when Xia Ye returns, I reckon this school will be turned upside down." Chen Xiao Nuan said with profound meaning.

  Tang Sugar looked at him with a confused expression, unclear why he had a solution as soon as Xia Ye came back, the principal wasn't even his dad!

  As expected by the teaching director, after the notice was issued to each class teacher, the school became much quieter, and even students who were hiding and discussing the video incident in a low voice disappeared. This topic has become an unmentionable taboo at Donghu Middle School in a short period of time.

  The principal and the head teacher were very satisfied with this situation, feeling that an inglorious page had been turned over.

  Especially the principal, standing at the door of his office in the corridor, looking at those reporters interviewing students who were trying to intercept them at the school gate after lunch, but the students dodged them like a plague god, and couldn't help but smile triumphantly: You bunch of fledglings, haven't you heard that ginger is still spicy even when it's old?

  Just when the principal and the head teacher had put their minds at ease, thinking that there would be no more unexpected events, bad news came again.

  Videos about this have been circulating online, but what's even more shocking is that these videos all come with captions: Donghu Middle School shields and indulges students who frame others, seeking inside information.

  The director of education saw these words and was also shocked to sweat, if a large-scale human search really came, the relationship between himself and Tonghua would be made public, then Tonghua would not be punished and would be labeled by those idle netizens as a dark scandal of privilege protection, his position as director of education would not be guaranteed, and he might even face severe punishment from the Education Bureau, and may not be able to continue working in the education sector, what to do?

  He hastily dialed the phone number of Tong Hua, and scolded her in a fit of rage: "It's all because of you, this jinx! You must wipe my butt for me!"
