Chapter 1371: Teacher Luo is Framed

Teacher Tian also came.

Originally, she did not want to come, and Teacher Luo did not specifically invite her.

But a teacher at the adjacent desk said to her, "Teacher Luo brought his girlfriend... wife to the school to work, which shows he intends to stay at First High School for a long time!"

"We will all be seeing each other every day from now on, so let's not make the relationship too stiff."

"His wife is also at First High School? When did this happen?"

Teacher Tian was greatly shocked; she had no idea and was hearing it for the first time.

The colleague said she had transferred over half a month ago, but she does not teach classes; she does administrative work at the school.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Tian curled her lips upward, a mysterious smile on her face, and immediately agreed to join her colleague in attending Teacher Luo's wedding!

At the wedding, Teacher Luo was also surprised to see Teacher Tian had come.

He had not expected her to come, but those who come are guests, and he could not say he did not welcome her!

The wedding was very lively, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and during the toast, everyone offered their blessings to the bride and groom one after another.

At this moment, Teacher Tian went table-hopping!

She went to Lu Feifei's table, chased away the student next to Lu Feifei, and sat down beside her!

The students who had been chatting enthusiastically just a moment ago instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads to eat, with no one saying a word.

As long as one was not a fool, anyone could see that Teacher Tian was an unwelcome person; Teacher Tian herself saw it too, but she did not feel embarrassed.

She said to Lu Feifei, "This table of food isn't cheap, is it? One table must cost two thousand, right? Your Teacher Luo invited your entire class over, and you took up five tables; five tables would cost ten thousand without even counting the drinks. How much gift money does each of you have to give to break even?"

Lu Feifei did not speak, pretending she did not hear.

But other students at the table could not hold back and retorted, "We didn't give any gift money; our head teacher said beforehand that students were not allowed to give gifts."

"Tsk tsk! Teacher Luo is still young; he hasn't started a family and doesn't know the cost of living. It's a good intention not to let students give gifts, but I'm afraid the couple will argue over this matter in the future..."

"We gave a gift; the Class Monitor even gave a Zai Zai," one student blurted out, unable to hold back.

Although they were quickly stopped by the student next to them and did not continue, one sentence was enough—enough to cause trouble for Teacher Luo.

The next day.

Teacher Luo did not come to teach, and another teacher substituted for him.

It is normal for a teacher to take a few days of marriage leave after getting married; the senior students are not children anymore and can all understand.

But three days later, Teacher Luo still had not come to work, and rumors had spread throughout the school.

The students of Class Twelve also heard about Teacher Luo, and everyone could no longer sit still!

"Have you heard? Little Luo isn't on marriage leave; he's been suspended."

"Nonsense, who said that?"

"Other classes are all spreading it, and I've heard it too..."

The students had no heart for class and were all discussing this matter.

Once the topic was opened, it became more and more outrageous.

Some heard that Teacher Luo was suspended because he accepted a gift from a student, mainly the Zai Zai given by the Class Monitor!

Rumor had it that the Zai Zai that Class Monitor Sheng Zichen gave to Teacher Luo was made of pure gold and was worth seven or eight hundred thousand.

Just as they were saying this, Zichen and Litian walked into the classroom.

"What are you all talking about? So lively."

The students crowded around one after another, asking in a jumble, "Class Monitor, was the gift you gave Teacher Luo very expensive?"

"We heard it's worth seven or eight hundred thousand, is that true?"

"Even if your family has money, you can't spend it like that; you've really screwed over our Teacher Luo..."

"Wait a minute, you all speak one by one. What exactly is going on? Why am I getting more confused the more I hear?"

That was right, on the day of Teacher Luo's wedding, he did give a gift.

What he gave was indeed a "Zai Zai," and it was even a couple's set.

A man and a woman snuggled together happily, smiling, quite festive!

But saying it was pure gold was too ridiculous; it was complete nonsense.

That Zai Zai was bought at the stationery store at the school gate for fifty-eight yuan.

Although seven or eight hundred thousand was just pocket change for the Sheng Family, that was not money he earned himself; it was money his parents earned.

Zichen did not know how it had spread like this, but it was a misunderstanding, and he had to go explain it clearly.

Fortunately, he had not lost the receipt from when he bought the gift at the stationery store; with this as proof, he was certain he could save Teacher Luo.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door to the Principal's office was knocked.

"Come in."

Zichen walked in: "Principal, I have something I need to tell you."

"You've come just in time; I was just about to send someone to find you!"

The two of them wanted to talk about the same thing.

Zichen handed the shopping receipt to the Principal with both hands: "Please take a look; this is the receipt for the gift I bought at the stationery and gift shop, fifty-eight yuan. That doesn't count as bribery, right?"

The Principal looked at it carefully several times; if this were true, then it really was not bribery.

But it was still better to be cautious.

He asked Zichen: "You aren't fooling me, are you? The gift you gave your teacher was really bought at the stationery store at the school gate?"

"Of course it's true, I wouldn't joke about something like this. Besides, the stationery store has surveillance, we can just check it, or even simpler, check the Xiaojin."

This simplest, most effective, and direct method was something Zichen had just thought of.

The Principal walked around from behind his desk and grabbed Zichen's hand: "Come with me, we're going to the Education Bureau to clarify things."

He had also been worried about this matter for the past two days.

If it were true, it would be a very serious incident. Sheng Zichen's family was wealthy, so when the Principal heard that Teacher Luo had accepted a "Xiaojin," he actually hadn't doubted it!

The Education Bureau.

The main entrance.

"We are looking for Director Liu."

"Director Liu has gone out for a meeting. Do you have an appointment?"

The Principal didn't even blink, without the slightest hesitation: "I have an appointment. The Director didn't tell me he was going to a meeting; he told me to come because there was an urgent matter. How could he do this?"

After he finished speaking, he made as if to leave.

The guard at the entrance called out to him: "Please go to the reception room and wait a while; Director Liu should be back very soon."

"Alright then."

He even put on a very troubled expression as he led Zichen swaggering inside.

Zichen was a bit dumbfounded.

The plain-looking, honest-appearing Principal actually had a side like this?

Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance.

Soon, the Director returned.

After he returned, he didn't go to his office first, but came to the reception room because the guard said someone very arrogant had made an appointment with him.

He clearly remembered having no appointments, but since the guard said it was a very "arrogant" person, it must be a leader from above.

As a result, when he saw an old man and a young boy sitting in the reception room, he didn't recognize either of them.

"You... made an appointment with me?" Director Liu was not very happy.

"Hello, Director Liu. I am the Principal of First High School, and this is our school's student, Sheng Zichen. We both came here this time to cooperate with the Education Bureau's investigation into the matter of our school's Teacher Luo."

The Principal amazed Zichen once again.

These words were spoken with great skill; they both explained the purpose of the visit and gave the Director plenty of face.
