Chapter 162: Losing the Wife and the Soldiers Too!

~8 min read 1,572 words

Hanzhou City Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Deputy Secretary's office.

Shi Weimin was furious, "You idiot! How did you get yourself muddled into this case?"

Shao Jinbo was stunned by the blow; he hurriedly picked up the documents and flipped through a few pages, his heart instantly surging with "crashing waves."

How did his uncle find out about helping Shang Deyi get someone out?

"Uncle, it's just a sesame-sized trifle, why did it alarm you? The man was drunk, got into a verbal altercation with the other party, and then threw punches. Although he injured the other party quite badly, he is willing to pay a settlement fee. It was originally just..."

Shao Jinbo forced himself to appear calm, attempting to downplay the matter.

Shi Weimin's gaze was like ice; he said coldly, "Helping to mediate a dispute is indeed not a big deal. However, how did you get mixed up with Shang Deyi?"

Shao Jinbo hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "Xiao Hui wanted to change her work environment. Shang Deyi has extensive connections in the education system and knows the ropes, so I asked him for help. Shang Deyi is efficient; he got it done quickly. One thing led to another, and I owed him a favor..."

Shi Weimin sighed heavily, feeling that his nephew failed to live up to his expectations: "I won't stop you from making friends, but you must have a sense of judgment and a scale in your heart regarding who you can associate with and who you should stay far away from!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Jinbo felt a sudden chill run through his heart, and he asked tremblingly, "Uncle, could it be that something happened to Shang Deyi?"

Shi Weimin let out a cold snort and said decisively, "That's right! Chu Dongfa of Pinghu Middle School is suspected of serious disciplinary violations, and Shang Deyi has been implicated as well. Last night, Shang Deyi was already arrested by the police."

Shao Jinbo felt as if his throat were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand; a breath was stuck there, and he couldn't utter a single word.

One must know, just yesterday, he had spoken to Shang Deyi on the phone and even received the intimate photos of Tang Ye and Mo Xiaoyu from him; how could he have been arrested so suddenly?

Seeing Shao Jinbo looking dejected and soul-lost, Shi Weimin understood that his nephew definitely still had things he was hiding from him.

He softened his tone and warned, "I hope the dealings between you and Shang Deyi end here. As for Xiao Hui's job transfer, stop fussing over it for now."

Shao Jinbo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his heart filled with frustration; he could only force a bitter smile and reply, "Fine, I'll follow your arrangements."

Shi Weimin whispered another instruction: "Do more work and make fewer enemies. I don't want to see such inexplicable materials delivered to me again."

Shao Jinbo silently picked up the materials, his heart feeling as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned.

This material anonymously submitted to his uncle most likely had something to do with Tang Ye.

At the same time, Xiao Hui was called to the office by the Principal.

She had been in a good mood.

Because of the job transfer Shao Jinbo was helping to arrange, according to the plan, she would be able to transfer to the Municipal Education Bureau as soon as this semester ended.

Moreover, ever since the Principal learned that Xiao Hui had connections behind her, his attitude toward her had become exceptionally polite.

However, today the Principal's attitude lacked its usual warmth.

The Principal looked serious and handed a complaint letter to Xiao Hui.

"Teacher Xiao, you have been busy preparing for your wedding recently, but as a teacher, you cannot lose your sense of responsibility. Many parents in your class have complained to me, saying that you frequently take leave without cause. The teachers who work with you also report that you often have them substitute for your classes. I hope you can adjust your state quickly and correct your work attitude."

"Principal Zhang, I am truly sorry; I have indeed not done well during this period. Please rest assured, I will adjust as soon as possible." Xiao Hui apologized sincerely with her mouth, but she didn't take it to heart.

She thought to herself: I won't be at this school next semester; let's see how you criticize me then.

Principal Zhang keenly sensed Xiao Hui's perfunctoriness and couldn't help but frown slightly, adding, "Teacher Xiao, I just received a call from the City Bureau; there have been some complications with your job transfer."

Xiao Hui's heart sank violently, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart: Could it be that her transfer to the Municipal Education Bureau was going to fall through?

Although she was panicked inside, she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Okay, thank you for the reminder, Principal Zhang!"

After Xiao Hui left the office, Principal Zhang shook his head helplessly, thinking: A major incident occurred at the Municipal Education Bureau, and Xiao Hui is completely unaware.

Xiao Hui found a deserted corner and anxiously dialed Shao Jinbo's phone number.

"Honey, has there been a complication with my job transfer?" Xiao Hui's voice was full of worry and unease.

On the other end of the line, Shao Jinbo's tone was irritable, and he said coldly, "Just stay at the school honestly for now."

"Honey, the school is too far from home; didn't you promise me before..."

Before Xiao Hui could finish speaking, she was rudely interrupted by Shao Jinbo.

"Stop bothering me! How much effort have I spent on your affairs? Can you blame me now that there's a problem? It's all because of that 'lover' of yours; he interfered in the middle and completely ruined your transfer!" Shao Jinbo's voice carried anger and resentment.

"Lover? What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Hui was both shocked and angry.

Shao Jinbo had already roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter and said irritably, "Tang Ye set a trap and sent Chu Dongfa and Shang Deyi in; the matter has caused a huge stir and even implicated me. I've been screwed over by him this time!"

After speaking, Shao Jinbo's anger remained, and with a "bang," he hung up the phone directly.

Xiao Hui held her phone, stunned on the spot; it took her a long time to sort out her chaotic thoughts, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.

She had been earnestly advising Shao Jinbo not to provoke Tang Ye!

But now, she had lost the wife and the soldiers too.

Now everyone in the school knew she was going to transfer.

Well, wouldn't she become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes?

Xiao Hui was full of annoyance, yet she was helpless.

Pinghu Town Middle School held a general meeting for all teachers.

As soon as Tang Ye appeared, everyone's eyes focused on him in unison.

Tang Ye's gaze landed on Chen Chao, then he walked up with long strides and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Teacher Chen, welcome back to the team."

Chen Chao looked at Tang Ye, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Town Mayor Tang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you..."

Tang Ye's efforts not only cleared Chen Chao's name but also allowed him to return to the teaching position he loved so dearly.

At the same time, Zhang Lingzhi also successfully returned to work at the town hospital, and the family's life finally returned to the right track.

Tang Ye gently patted the back of Chen Chao's hand to show comfort and encouragement, then his gaze slowly swept across the faces of the many teachers present.

He cleared his throat.

"Coming to this meeting today, I mainly want to tell everyone about three things.

The first thing. This person, Chu Dongfa, was like a malignant tumor, long eroding Pinghu Middle School and causing great harm to the school. And our Town Government was negligent in supervision, failing to detect and handle it in time, which caused an extremely bad influence. Here, I represent the Town Government to express our deepest apologies to everyone.

The second thing. Next, the school will usher in a series of sweeping reform measures. Not only will the school's leadership team be optimized and adjusted to inject new vitality and concepts, but we will also actively introduce many young and excellent teachers to join our team, adding new blood and strength."

"The third matter. To reward everyone for your consistent hard work, we have decided to adjust your salary levels. From now on, the Town Government will specifically allocate a special fund each year to improve your income and benefits, ensuring that your efforts receive the return they deserve."

This fund was the money confiscated from Chu Dongfa's corruption.

It is what is called taking from the people and using it for the people!

As soon as Tang Ye finished speaking, thunderous applause instantly erupted in the meeting hall.

"To think they are actually going to give us a raise, this is such a surprise!"

"Town Mayor Tang is truly doing practical work for the educational cause of Pinghu; having such a town leader is a blessing for our school!"
