Tian Yulan ignored Director Wang, instead fixing her gaze tightly on Zhong Yi, her eyes filled with questioning and anger.
"Teacher Zhong, aren't you going to admit you ran a cram school?" Her voice trembled slightly, clearly very emotional.
Zhong Yi looked back at Tian Yulan without fear, his eyes firm and cold. "Why should I admit to something I didn't do? Since you reported me, please produce evidence." His tone was harsh, with no intention of backing down.
Tian Yulan hadn't expected Zhong Yi to be so stubborn, and the anger in her heart grew stronger. She bit her lip and decided to play her "trump card."
So she took out her mobile phone and quickly dialed the parent who had previously told her Zhong Yi ran a cram school. On the other end of the line came the beeping sound, each one seeming to strike Tian Yulan's heart.
Finally, the call connected, and Tian Yulan said urgently: "Hello, didn't you tell me Teacher Zhong opened a cram school? The school needs evidence now, quickly tell me what you know."
Hearing Tian Yulan wanted evidence, that parent immediately panicked. She stammered: "I... I don't have any evidence."
Tian Yulan shrieked: "Wasn't it you who told me Zhong Yi opened a cram school outside?"
That parent was startled by Tian Yulan's shriek and quickly said she would go ask the parent who had said those words before.
After hanging up, Tian Yulan's complexion was very bad. She hadn't expected things to develop to this point, and secretly vowed in her heart that once she got the evidence, she would definitely make Zhong Yi get out of the school.
Principal Liu, Director Wang, and Zhang Xue'er's complexions were also not good. They hadn't expected Tian Yulan to go report to the Education Bureau based on just someone's idle talk.
Time passed second by second, sweat slowly beaded on Tian Yulan's head. Just as Tian Yulan was about to be unable to hold on, the phone finally rang, and Tian Yulan immediately answered.
That parent said on the phone: "I just asked. Although there indeed were parents who brought their children to Zhong Yi's place for tutoring, but I was just in Liaoxi, and people all said that was a previous matter, this semester there was no tutoring, Teacher Zhong's cram school has already closed." After saying that, she hastily hung up.
This time Tian Yulan was stunned, she blankly held her mobile phone, not knowing what to do. The conference room was very quiet, and just now that parent's voice on the phone wasn't low, everyone heard it.
The atmosphere in the conference room became extremely awkward. Sunlight shone through the window onto the floor, but could not warm the cold atmosphere at this moment.
Director Wang frowned, looking at Tian Yulan after she finished the phone call, sitting there without saying a word.
His heart was full of helplessness, not knowing how to handle this thorny problem.
After a while, Director Wang continued to ask: "Parent Tian Yulan, please produce your evidence." His voice was serious and firm, leaving no room for doubt.
Tian Yulan didn't speak for a long time. Her complexion was pale, her eyes filled with regret and helplessness. Under Principal Wang's repeated questioning, Tian Yulan helplessly said: "I... I don't have any evidence."
Her voice was so small it was almost inaudible, like a child who had done something wrong.
Now Principal Liu and Director Wang both breathed a sigh of relief. They were glad Zhong Yi hadn't actually violated regulations.
But they also knew this matter couldn't just end so simply, after all this was also a trouble. Principal Liu and Director Wang looked at each other, falling into deep thought.
Director Wang slowly turned his gaze toward Zhong Yi, and said with a stern expression: "Teacher Zhong, you are the party involved. What are your demands regarding this matter?"
At this moment Zhong Yi straightened his back, his eyes revealing firmness. He knew well that for someone like Tian Yulan, one had to be ruthless to make her remember the lesson.
So Zhong Yi sat upright and said clearly: "I have a few demands. First, Parent Tian Yulan must go to the Education Bureau to explain the situation and eliminate the bad influence on me personally and on the school."
Regarding this point, Principal Liu and Director Wang also agreed.
After all, the matter had already reached the Education Bureau, so the handling result definitely had to give the Education Bureau a response.
Seeing Principal Liu and Director Wang nod in agreement, Zhong Yi continued: "Second, Parent Tian Yulan must apologize to me in the WeChat Group, and handwrite an apology letter to be posted on the School Bulletin Board, for no less than seven days."
Hearing this demand, Principal Liu and Director Wang felt it wasn't excessive.
However, Tian Yulan's complexion instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
But at this moment, no one cared about Tian Yulan's feelings. The conference room was so quiet it seemed one could hear everyone's breathing.
Zhong Yi continued: "Third, Teacher Zhang Xue'er and Teacher Song Jie must apologize to me in front of all the school's teachers. They questioned me in the Parking Lot without distinguishing right from wrong, causing a great impact on my reputation."
At this moment, Song Jie was not in the Conference Room; he had long ago slipped away using the excuse of going to class.
And after Zhang Xue'er heard Zhong Yi's words, she lowered her head with a face full of red. Her hands were tightly clasped together, trembling slightly, her heart filled with regret and embarrassment.
Principal Liu had no objections to the three demands Zhong Yi proposed.
But Director Wang frowned. After all, Director Wang knew his nephew Song Jie's personality best; making him apologize in front of so many people was not easy.
But now was obviously not a good time to negotiate with Zhong Yi.
Director Wang looked at Tian Yulan and said: "Parent Tian Yulan, do you have any objections to Teacher Zhong's demands?"
Tian Yulan bit her lip and said: "I can go to the Education Bureau to explain the situation, and I can apologize in the WeChat Group, but is it really necessary to post the apology letter at the School? I'm afraid it would have a bad influence on the child." Tian Yulan's voice carried a hint of pleading.
Hearing this, Zhong Yi gave a cold laugh, thinking to himself: Now you think it's not good for the child? What about the impact on the teacher?
But after all Principal Liu and Director Wang were still there, so Zhong Yi didn't say much more, just slightly narrowed his eyes, waiting for Principal Liu and Director Wang's handling.
Director Wang and Principal Liu looked at each other, both showing a hint of awkwardness in their eyes.
Then Principal Liu slowly said: "Teacher Zhong, why don't you take a step back? After all, this matter hasn't caused too serious consequences. Everyone takes a step back, and the sea becomes wide and the sky open." Principal Liu's tone was gentle, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Zhong Yi firmly shook his head and said: "No, this is the most basic requirement. If I were to sue in court, the minimum would be requiring Parent Tian Yulan to apologize to me in the Newspaper."
Hearing Zhong Yi's unyielding words, Tian Yulan's heart tightened. She hurriedly stood up, showing an embarrassed smile on her face, and said to Zhong Yi: "Teacher Zhong, I was wrong. I misheard someone's nonsense and misunderstood you. I apologize to you. I can write the apology letter, I guarantee it will be handwritten, I can write it now. But is it really necessary to post it at the School? After I write it, I can take a photo and post it in the group. The parents seeing it is enough; there's no need to show it to the students, right? I didn't say anything in front of the students." Tian Yulan's tone carried a hint of pleading, her eyes filled with regret and unease.
Although Tian Yulan knew Zhong Yi's talk of suing was unlikely, after all it wasn't a big deal, but once the matter blew up it would definitely spread to the students' ears. At that time, the impact on her son was something she couldn't accept. Although now the parents might also tell their children, compared to directly posting the apology letter, it would be somewhat better.
