Chapter 103 I Want to Check the Cards
Principal Liu's attitude was extremely firm, and his words were extremely sincere, showing a determination to completely eliminate the bad apples from the school.
To put it bluntly, this is a decisive move to cut their losses and survive when they see the situation is not normal.
Indeed, for a topic to be discussed at this special meeting, if Qin didn't have some powerful trump cards, how could he possibly make such a big fuss about it!
"Principal Liu, we must protect the privacy of students who dare to report and expose wrongdoing."
You should know how much psychological burden and inner torment a student must have endured to get to this point.
Once their identity is exposed, how will they continue their studies at Tsinghua and Peking Universities?
Director Qin deliberately made excuses and tested the waters, taking the opportunity to dig the already dug pit several feet deeper.
He wanted to take this opportunity to see clearly what kind of teachers these school leaders were really like.
As the old saying goes, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked too; and three feet of ice is not formed in a single day."
It's unbelievable that the school's atmosphere and culture, once so prestigious as the top school, has degenerated to such a wretched state. Sophisticated egoists are rampant, and the most common topics of conversation among students are how to achieve their highest personal value, how to seize every opportunity to "climb the ladder" and "water flows downhill," to the point that they're practically spouting the proverb "laugh at poverty but not at prostitution."
Why did it deteriorate to such an extent?
Human nature certainly has an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.
However, the severe lack of proper guidance, allowing selfish and narrow-minded individualism to run rampant, is surely an even greater evil.
Today's special meeting was ostensibly chaired by Qin Zhongkai, but in reality, it was being held in the next room—
Hehe, anyway, you can go ahead and show off your power.
What I fear least now is that you will continue to use your power to intimidate others, spread rumors, and raise your banners.
"Qin Zhongkai, what do you mean?"
Are they questioning me, the principal, for not knowing how to protect my own students?
Are they afraid that we will take this opportunity to retaliate?
Do you even know what you're saying?
We are all here, almost the entire class of students from the prestigious top universities, Tsinghua and Peking University.
Now, it is you, Qin Zhongkai, who are using the fact that there are students with bad character among our school's freshmen as an excuse.
In order to thoroughly investigate the truth, we must find out as soon as possible who is involved. We must personally find the relevant students to witness the incident and ask them clearly and carefully what the truth is.
Did this involve any internal conflicts or entanglements within the new generation?
"Indeed, Director Qin. If you, as one of the few of us here, hold such an instinctive skepticism, how can we still believe that the so-called investigation is fair and impartial, or that someone has taken the opportunity to muddy the waters?"
"No matter what, Tsinghua and Peking University represent the top-tier universities in China."
Regarding the previous incident, it's true that Vice President Yan and his nephew had some issues with their personal conduct.
But some people seized the opportunity to escalate the issue, claiming that Tsinghua and Peking University had serious problems with their academic atmosphere. Now it seems, Director Qin, you have absolutely no intention of letting this go!
"I don't think it's necessary to continue this meeting."
Director Qin, you and our Principal Liu are of the same rank, and in some ways you are even half a rank lower than Principal Liu, that's the rule.
If you, Director Qin, refuse to provide even basic witness testimony, then there's no point in continuing this legal battle.
Please ask a higher-level leader to step in and coordinate this again!
As the saying goes, when people are of one mind, they can move mountains.
At the critical moment, the attendees from Tsinghua and Peking Universities suddenly banded together and launched a counterattack, vowing to defend the honor of their prestigious universities to the death.
Director Qin slammed his hand on the table. "So, until now, none of you have ever thought that there was really a problem with the school's discipline and atmosphere. Is that what you all mean?"
Even if Yan Shijian and his nephew had problems last time, it was only an individual case of misconduct.
Can an individual not represent the collective?
You even believe that the whole incident was just Comrade Yu Zhen using it as an excuse to deliberately cause trouble?
Then I ask you, Comrade Yu Zhen, why did you act in this way?
Good heavens, the tension in the meeting room instantly escalated.
Seeing Director Qin slam his fist on the table in anger, the entire school staff, who had just moments before seemed ready to explode, all turned their gazes toward Principal Liu.
Principal Liu shouted, "Director Qin! Qin Zhongkai!"
The truth of the matter is as clear as a louse on a bald head, isn't it?
Are you pretending to be confused and not understanding?
Alright then, today I'll just expose the truth behind this matter face to face.
I'm not afraid of offending people. In this world, if there's no space for people to speak the truth, hehe—”
Director Qin was surprised. "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting all aggrieved?"
"Principal Liu, get to the point. Don't just throw things around. What do you mean by 'the world has no space for people who dare to speak the truth'?"
What nonsense are you spouting?
Tell me, what is the truth that you all know?
Comrade Yu Zhen was repeatedly harassed and humiliated by Yan Shijian and his nephew. What other truth do you think is hidden behind this?
He really couldn't understand it. He had personally coordinated and handled this matter, and even took care of and covered up the incident afterward, preventing any negative information from leaking out, all to protect the reputation of Tsinghua and Peking Universities from being damaged.
But what other unspeakable truths might be hidden within this?
Why is it that as someone who experienced the event firsthand, I have absolutely no recollection of it?
"Director Qin, to put it simply, do you really think that the prestigious title of the top university in the country is forever monopolized by Tsinghua, Peking, and other universities, and that no other brother institutions are ever eyeing it?"
What is the truth?
It's just that once the prestigious reputation of Tsinghua and Peking Universities is damaged, other competitors will naturally seize the opportunity to take their place.
Otherwise, why do you think the events of that day had such an eerie quality?
What was clearly just a misunderstanding that could have been easily resolved with a little communication was instead escalated into a catastrophe. Isn't that the truth?
Director Qin finally understood.
To sum it up, what kind of situation is this? It's simply a classic case of "if you don't kill the snake, it will surely retaliate and kill you in return!"
"So, in your eyes, Principal Liu, the rumors about creating a superstar in Shanghai aren't just rumors; they've always been the truth?"
"Isn't that right?!"
"Absurd!! Utterly absurd!!!"
"Director Qin, what's absurd is those provinces and cities that are obsessed with the prestigious title of the number one school in the country."
What is absurd is this collective fabrication that, in order to achieve its goals, disregards the most basic facts and the logic of development. It is an official act of self-deception, blatantly treating even the most basic literary creation as a workshop-style assembly line industry in order to become the so-called vanguard of reform and opening up!

ha??!
Director Qin's horizons were broadened even further.
"So, the reason Tsinghua and Peking University specifically invited Comrade Yu Zhen to their literary lecture series is that you guys were really up to no good at all?!"
"Director Qin, please be more polite!"
