Chapter 167: Catching the Wind and Shadow

Every exam is a test of knowledge and ability, and every summary is an improvement of literacy and value.

This 10-school joint exam came to an end, but the end of the exam does not mean the end of the joint exam.

In order to commend the advanced, inspire spirit, create a thick learning atmosphere, and further mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of graduating middle school students in the whole county, on May 10th, the Ningyang County Education Bureau organized a joint exam quality analysis summary and commendation meeting. Leadership team members of the Education Bureau, station office directors, principals of middle schools, ninth-grade teachers, and some student representatives attended the meeting.

The meeting strictly implemented the pragmatic and rigorous meeting style proposed by Director Lu Fan, speaking the truth and telling the truth, deeply analyzing to find existing problems and gaps, and paving the way for the middle school entrance exam.

At the meeting, Deputy Director Wang Fei read the ranking of each school in this joint exam and criticized the last three; Deputy Director Chang Qing read the list of students commended in the joint exam; Teaching and Research Office Director Wang Kun Cheng summarized the joint exam, put forward the shortcomings of each school, and pointed out the direction of efforts for the middle school entrance exam preparation; the bureau leadership team put on red flowers for the top 20 outstanding students in this joint exam and gave a reward of 500 yuan.

Next, outstanding student representatives spoke to share learning experience; progressive student representatives spoke to share their insights.

Finally, Ningyang County Education Bureau Director Lu Fan made a summary speech. He said: "This joint exam has achieved the expected results. The results were hard-won, which is an honor and a pressure. But the difficulties cannot be underestimated, which is a challenge and a motivation; confidence cannot be shaken, which is a responsibility and a mission!"

After half a year of unremitting efforts, Lu Fan finally won the preliminary recognition of the people of the whole county. Everyone saw and remembered the sweat and efforts he paid, making Lu Fan's prestige grow day by day.

Nowadays, people have begun to have higher expectations for education in Ningyang, looking forward to new breakthroughs under Lu Fan's leadership.

Just when Lu Fan was full of confidence and led the Education Bureau to prepare for the middle school and college entrance exams, the ugly behavior of a principal made the whole Education Bureau feel as disgusting as eating mouse droppings!

The protagonist of this event was Longchuan Town Central Elementary School Principal Gao Hao and Vice Principal Zhou Yun. On May 12th, an indecent chat record about the two spread rapidly on the Internet, triggering widespread social attention.

Judging from the exposed chat records, the words between the two were quite ambiguous, and even involved some sensitive topics.

The chat record was exposed by Zhou Yun's husband. He indignantly stated that before marriage, his wife had maintained an improper relationship with Principal Gao Hao for a long time.

After marriage, the relationship between the two not only did not end, but intensified. The places where the two had relationships ranged from garages, staff dormitories, offices, etc., to their own wedding room, shameless and unscrupulous.

Even when his wife was pregnant and gave birth to a son, the relationship between the two did not end. In order to avoid pregnancy, his wife also took contraceptive drugs, resulting in the baby not being breastfed and having to rely on milk powder every day.

Teachers, the most glorious profession under the sun, shoulder the important responsibility of developing people's wisdom and cultivating the next generation. But with the development of the times, these halos have gone away, and some teachers with "corrupt teacher morality" have smeared this industry.

This matter made the whole Ningyang education feel ashamed!

After the incident, Lu Fan immediately convened a Bureau Party Committee meeting to discuss how to handle this emergency event.

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy. Lu Fan's face was blue, and his angry voice was deafening: "The school should have been a sacred place for teaching and educating people, and teachers shoulder the important mission of cultivating the next generation! But now there are such morally corrupt and shameless people. How can they be worthy of those pure and innocent eyes? Children's hearts are like white paper, how can they tolerate such dirty and filthy behavior? How can the people of Ningyang tolerate their children being managed and taught by such people? This vicious behavior must never be tolerated!"

After a passionate statement, Lu Fan calmed down his emotions a little, and then issued an order: "We must investigate to the end and punish severely! I decided that Deputy Secretary Shen Jiqin will personally lead the team to launch a comprehensive and in-depth investigation."

Shen Jiqin replied without hesitation: "Secretary, I will immediately organize manpower to launch a comprehensive investigation. Race against time to reveal the truth as soon as possible and give the masses an explanation."

But in the subsequent investigation, Shen Jiqin encountered a thorny problem.

School leaders Gao Hao and Zhou Yun of Longchuan Town Central Elementary School showed an unusually firm attitude when facing the Education Bureau's review.

They insisted that they had suffered groundless slander and framing, and swore that catching thieves and stolen goods, catching adultery in bed, the so-called chat records could not be recognized by law as effective evidence.

Not only that, the two also constantly complained that the Education Bureau was catching the wind and shadow, and even accused the Education Bureau of failing to give insiders the due support and protection.

Hearing Shen Jiqin's report, Education Bureau Director Lu Fan was furious.

Furious to the extreme, he immediately took action, urgently convened a Bureau Party Committee meeting, and quickly reached four resolutions, reflecting the Education Bureau's attitude towards this scandal:

First, suspend the positions of Gao Hao and Zhou Yun, and conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into them;

Second, appoint Deputy Director Wang Fei to concurrently serve as the principal of Longchuan Town Central Elementary School to ensure the normal operation of school work;

Third, invite the Audit Bureau to intervene and conduct a comprehensive financial audit of Longchuan Town Central Elementary School to find out whether there are any improper behaviors or financial problems;

Fourth, the Education Bureau established a special investigation team to comprehensively review the development of all business activities of Longchuan Town Central Elementary School in the past three years.

Immediately after, a huge working group entered Longchuan Town Central Elementary School aggressively, investigating Gao Hao to the end with great fanfare.

The whole campus was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone felt the seriousness of this event.

That afternoon, Lu Fan was about to get off work when Gao Hao hurried to the Education Bureau and walked into the Director's office.

Just after stepping into the door, Gao Hao couldn't wait to start admitting his mistakes. He requested the Director to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf with earnest words. As he spoke, he took out five thick envelopes from his arms!

However, facing this move, Lu Fan did not show the slightest surprise or movement. On the contrary, he stood up unhurriedly, silently opened the door of the office, and then returned to his seat, scolding righteously: "I have never seen such a shameless person as you! You are a dignified principal, and you are a married person. You actually did such morally corrupt things. It is simply a shame for our Ningyang education circle!

You ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to serve as principal like this? How dare those parents in Longchuan Town entrust their children to your hands?"

Lu Fan's scolding sounded like a Hong bell in the room, deafening, making Gao Hao blush and feel ashamed.

The corridor also heard the movement in the Director's office. After a while, clerk Lu Xingzhou brought several staff members to the Director's office and directly pulled Gao Hao out.

In just one day, the financial problems of Longchuan Town Central Elementary School surfaced. Gao Hao used his position to falsely issue invoices when reimbursing, such as reception, internal affairs, external affairs, procurement, entertainment, travel expenses; in school building maintenance, he set up names, but in fact, he didn't move an inch, etc. In five years, he actually embezzled more than 1 million yuan, interpreting what is called small position, big corruption!

The multi-book test begins, lasting for one week, starting today. It is quite important!
