Chapter 50 How can a school be run well when surrounded by these kinds of insects!
On this day, the scene at the engineering college was the same as usual, repeating the routine of yesterday. Students who lingered in bed until 8 a.m. finally managed to buy breakfast at the cafeteria and rushed into the classroom at the last minute.
The change began here. In several classrooms, the bell rang but the teacher didn't come. After a while, someone came to inform the teacher that they had been called to a meeting and the class would be canceled.
Great!
The crowd pouring out of the classroom wore joyful smiles, a stark contrast to Wu Wei, who was walking towards them.
Wu Wei was on his way to a meeting in the administration building conference room, looking worried. The principal had made a last-minute return from a business trip and sent a meeting notice to the academic affairs system.
Although the weather was still sunny and breezy today, Wu Wei vaguely sensed an impending doom, as if dark clouds were gathering and the city was about to crumble.
Upon entering the conference room, the long table was already filled with teachers from the Party Committee and the Youth League Committee, with the principal, who organized the meeting, naturally sitting in the center.
The principal glanced at it and said, "Teacher Wu is here too, so everyone is here. This was organized rather hastily, so everyone should quickly go through the materials in front of you."
At this point, some teachers who had just arrived or arrived late began to look through the materials in front of them. It was about some unbelievable things that a student who was preparing to start a business encountered before and after applying to the University Student Activity Center to use the incubator.
Wu Wei was increasingly alarmed as he looked at it. Wasn't this the thing Chen Che and Chen Sui had given him that day? Hadn't he already dealt with this matter?
In addition, there was also a passionate and impassioned confession letter inside.
Even in a photocopy, the writer's sincerity and disappointment can be seen in the handwriting.
The story begins with the serendipitous encounter between a middle school student and a girl from a mountainous area, who start exchanging letters after the student wrote an award-winning essay. The girl, who should have left the mountains, tragically dies due to both natural disasters and human error.
After much painful reflection, the student decided to work hard together with the girl, and finally arrived at the university campus he had long awaited.
At first, her new life brought her a lot of difficulties, but with the encouragement and help of another classmate, she worked hard to overcome the difficulties and gradually became the person she wanted to be.
But this time, he witnessed the bad apples abusing their power for personal gain but was powerless to do anything about it. His attempts to report them were suppressed due to nepotism, and the abuse even intensified.
I feel extremely disappointed and heartbroken. The campus, which should be clean and upright, has become a mess because of the existence of such people.
The signature, in particular, was glaringly blurred by watermarks, looking as if it had been smudged by tears.
It's one thing that the school didn't get into the 985 or 211 projects, but it also failed to qualify for the Double First-Class initiative. It's a bit of a disgrace to say that it barely managed to become a 2011 college.
It's because of these parasites that the school's development is getting worse and worse. How can a school do well when it's surrounded by these worms? They might as well just be downgraded to a junior college!
Seeing that everyone had almost finished reading the materials, the principal spoke up: "This was written by a student named Chen Sui. It was written very sincerely, showing his deep affection for the school. It also makes me feel ashamed that such a shocking thing could happen in the school."
Turning to Gong Cheng beside him, he asked, "Professor Gong, have any students applied for the school's entrepreneurship support program these past few days?"
Gong Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, Principal, this student's name is Chen Che. We even held a special seminar on it. The student's idea is quite good."
Moreover, they had already started working on it before the meeting, demonstrating strong hands-on skills.
I approved the incubation park under the university student activity center as a startup base.
"Hmm," the principal nodded slightly. Since there was no problem with Gong Cheng, it was obvious that the problem lay with Sun Ning and Wu Wei.
The principal snorted coldly and looked at Sun Ning, who was standing silently with her head down: "Teacher Sun, you are the person involved in the case. The students have evidence to accuse you of abusing your power for personal gain. Do you have anything to say in your defense? Why didn't you approve the use of the incubator for them?"
Sun Ning was already drenched in sweat as she looked at the materials. She never imagined that this matter would reach the principal. She stood up abruptly, but still forced herself to explain, "Principal, I noticed that the incubation center has not been used for a long time, and some parts are seriously damaged. Forcing students to use it might pose a safety hazard, which is why I didn't agree."
"What I said to the students was just because they didn't respect me, so I said those things in a fit of anger."
"Oh, really?" The principal gave him a meaningful look. "Just a few patches of plaster on the wall and the incubator is unusable? Well, the paint on my administration building is almost completely peeling off; does that mean we have to tear it down and rebuild it?"
"Hmph! Even when things come to a head, you're still disloyal and dishonest, without any remorse or understanding of the consequences. I think you should quit being a teacher. Master Ye at the East Gate is going home to take care of his grandson, so you can go and be his security guard and watch the gate."
Sun Ning's eyes widened in disbelief as she pleaded, "Principal, I...I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I don't want to be a gatekeeper."
"Isn't this giving you a chance? Go to the gatehouse and reflect on your actions, think about how you should deal with students," the principal said sternly, leaving no room for argument.
Sun Ning knew she had no room to maneuver, so she sat down dejectedly.
With Sun Ning's matter resolved, the principal turned to Wu Wei on the other side: "Teacher Wu, the student reported this to you. Tell me, how did you handle it? How did you manage to get the matter to me?"
Wu Wei had been holding his breath, afraid the principal would remember that he was somehow involved in the matter. But it seemed that what was meant to be would be, and the principal had asked him anyway.
Wu Wei also stood up and said, "Principal, I also received complaints from two students. I called Teacher Sun over that day and gave her a reprimand."
I told him to seriously reflect on his actions, apologize to the students, and explain things clearly. I never expected him to only superficially admit his mistake; in fact, he went back and became even more outrageous.
"Really? Then how come I heard from the students that Teacher Sun said you're his brother, so he doesn't want us to do any more useless work?" the principal asked rhetorically.
Wu Wei was stunned when he heard this. He had already done his job of criticizing and educating Sun Ning, and even if Sun Ning brought this upon himself, it wouldn't be his fault. But when Sun Ning said that he was his brother, it was like mud falling into his pants—even if it wasn't shit, it was still shit.
Fortunately, I was careful enough to keep a record of my work and recorded my conversation with Sun Ning. I played the recording back on the spot, and the principal's expression improved considerably.
"Teacher Wu, Teacher Sun is not a Party member, but you are. Originally, the organization was going to give you a warning, but since you have done what you were supposed to do, I will not investigate further. We can talk about it separately later."
The principal had originally planned to give Wu Wei a good talking-to, but since he hadn't covered up for Sun Ning, he would just give him a verbal reprimand later and remind him that if anything like this happened again, the principal would definitely follow up and visit him.
At this point, the whole incident has been resolved, but the lesson is profound. If it hadn't been handled well, students would have been disappointed with the school, and it would have been very embarrassing if word got out.
The road ahead is long and arduous, so we must learn from this experience and draw lessons from it. With this in mind, the principal said, "Comrades, I will inform the Party Secretary about what happened today and ask him to hold another democratic symposium on this matter. We should make some honest criticisms. I think we should take the initiative to correct our wrong ideas and avoid making even bigger mistakes in the future."
"Yes, Principal."
