Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss - Chapter 163
163 163 Report truthfully
Seeing the students around her shooting daggers at her, Tan Jing suppressed her panic and pretended that she didn’t know anything. After hearing this, she also looked like she was in shock. She muttered softly, “That’s impossible, our family wouldn’t do that!” Then, she took her chance to escape from the crowd.
The crowd watched her run and didn’t know whether to believe her or not.
Tan Jing’s image had always been that of a weak little white flower. She looked like a harmless young lady who was friendly with people everywhere. But recently, she has been acting strange. Not only did she get into a bad relationship with Tan Rou on multiple occasions; most of her lies were exposed in public and something like this had just happened.
Everyone had heard of the complicated relationship between Tan Rou and Tan Jing. Since this matter was started by the Tan family, it would be unconvincing if Tan Jing said that it had nothing to do with her.
!!
In the principal’s office, Tan Rou had already revealed what she needed to do. She was not in a hurry to make things difficult for the rest of them and so she obediently waited to the side for the principal to speak.
The truth was already so clear that there was nothing to quibble about.
The principal’s expression darkened as he shot a cold glance at Director Wang. This meaningful glance made Director Wang even more guilty. He couldn’t help but feel regretful. Why did he have to get involved in the muddy waters of the Tan family?
The principal looked at his pale face and hunched back. He sighed in disappointment. At first, he never wanted a fall out with Director Wang but he didn’t expect him to be so corrupted that led to such a disaster. It was his own negligence.
With his hands behind his back, the principal slowly walked back to his desk and sat down.
Director Wang trembled with fear. He felt that the principal’s every step was like walking on the tip of his heart, every second of silence was a torturous trial.
Director Wang couldn’t wait to beg for mercy. “Principal! Since it’s my first offense, please give me another chance. I’ve made a lot of contributions to the school over the years!”
The principal was silent.
Tan Rou laughed. “First offense? Director Wang had said that the Tan family had always been generous and had even promised to share everything with those working for him? Would this really be your first time? I’m afraid that the parents of every batch of students have provided you with all kinds of benefits over the years, and you’ve become familiar with it!”
The principal sighed, “Wang Li, you have to accept your punishment for your mistake. I can’t help you anymore. You have indeed contributed to the school all these years but now that you’ve made such a mistake, no one can help you!”
The principal had always looked down on Director Wang’s character but he still wanted to save him some dignity as there were so many students present here. He only said indifferently, “I’ll report the situation to the Ministry of Education. Just wait for them to come up with a decision.”
Unfortunately, Director Wang didn’t appreciate it. He had worked so hard and endured so many years of torture to get the position as the Director of this school!
Moreover, over the years, he had earned a great future in such a manner with his position and had a tacit understanding with most parents. How could Director Wang be willing to lose such a lucrative job?
When Director Wang realised that the principal had no intentions of protecting him and even wanted to report it to the Ministry of Education, he was instantly enraged. He didn’t care about the students around him and shouted madly, “Do you think I’m the only one who got all these? Why don’t you ask around?? Is there anyone in the teaching faculty that has not received gifts and benefits from the parents?! That’s all about the ways of the world! Why are you only targeting me?!”
The principal’s face turned cold and he said angrily, “I can guarantee it that I don’t! Just because you can’t resist the temptation, don’t think that everyone else is like you!”
Direction Wang sneered. “You’re the one who thinks that everyone else is like you and thinks that pedantic is incorruptible! Ask Madam Li, would she dare admit that she has never favoured any students because of what their parents have offered?! It’s because you’ve never cared about these things and I’ve been the one dealing with them!”
“The Tan family has just donated two academic buildings to the school. Of course, we have to express our gratitude! If everyone did what you did, where would we get the money for the school to continue developing? I’m doing this for the school! How did I become the villain in this story??”
Madam Li, who had been innocently implicated, had an embarrassed look on her face. She wished that she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear. Being a teacher has always been a profession with a conscience. If she asked herself honestly, it was impossible to say that she had not given special treatment to any student because of their family background in all her years of teaching.
However, when Director Wang put it so bluntly, Madam Li was instantly embarrassed. By now, she was so ashamed that she could not show her face.
After hearing Director Wang’s words, the principal was infuriated. He reprimanded him sternly, “Incorruptibility is never pedantic! The school is an environment purely built to educate students. If the teachers are rotten from the start, how would they produce good students? If someone donates a building not for charity but for personal gain, then they shouldn’t have done the donation!”
The principal looked at Director Wang in disgust. “Don’t use the ways of the world as a cover for your greed and shamelessness!”
