Chapter 178 - 183: You are my woman! (22)
Ye Qi merely glanced indifferently at her little movement before diverting his gaze, focusing his attention on the expert’s appraisal.
Bai Qianqian kept her head low as she stood there, not daring to move or speak. Her clothes were soaking wet with cold sweat, afraid that the man would see her…
Bai Jingqing hadn’t spoken since he walked in. He was leisurely playing with a silver lighter in his hand, his eyes deep and intimidating…
In just a few minutes, the expert had already produced the appraisal result, proving that the original draft for the competition was indeed drawn by Gu Qingxin.
As soon as the appraisal report was out, the head of the education bureau snatched it, looking displeased at the trembling headmaster beside him, rebuked, “How on earth are you serving as the principal? Casually wronging your own students, as the head of a school, you should be responsible, and take care of every student as if they were your own children! Yet you, you nearly had an innocent student expelled under the accusation of theft! What right do you have to stay in that position?!”
The head of the education bureau was so infuriated; if the higher-ups blamed him for this, he’d likely be accused of incompetence.
“Director, I truly understand my mistake now, Gu Qingxin, I’m sorry, I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me this once.” The headmaster kept bowing to Gu Qingxin apologizing.
Gu Qingxin stood there without any expression, completely settling into resentment towards the headmaster. It’s not that every mistake can be forgiven with a simple apology…
“Alright, since the results are out, don’t say these useless things, let’s deal with… ahem… how to handle this matter?” Huangfu Ye stopped the headmaster’s frantic behaviour.
“I will immediately issue an order to revoke the disciplinary action against student Gu Qingxin and post this appraisal report on the school forum to clear her name.” The headmaster hurriedly took the appraisal report from the bureau chief’s hands.
Huangfu Ye glanced at Beiming Han, who was still seated, caught his impatience and quickly added, “It’s right to give justice to the innocent student. But how are you going to deal with the person who slandered?”
“This…” The headmaster promptly looked at the head of the education bureau, with the leader present, he didn’t dare to take the initiative.
“Whatever the school rules dictate, that’s how you’ll deal with it!” The head of the education bureau didn’t want to get himself into any more trouble.
“According to school regulations, if the student is willing to admit their mistake, they will receive a major demerit.” The headmaster answered.
“Gu YunCi, do you have anything else to say?” The head of the education bureau frowned at the girl standing by the door.
Gu Yunci nearly cracked her teeth from clenching them so hard, her hands tightly balled into fists. With the facts laid bare, what more could she say? But her hatred for Gu Qingxin only deepened!
“When you go back, record a video apologizing to Gu Qingxin and give it to the principal! It will be made public along with the appraisal report!” The head of the education bureau issued the final command.
At that instant, Gu YunCi’s face turned as pale as ashes. She had to record an apology video for Gu Qingxin and make it public. How would she ever face Yinglun University again? Wouldn’t she become the laughingstock of the whole school…?
Once the results were issued, Beiming Han immediately stood up. Huangfu Ye knew that he was relatively satisfied with the outcome, and he quickly said, “Alright, now that the matter is resolved, let’s have Gu take us on a tour of the campus! The two of you can go back.”
Their nonchalant attitude was as if they were ordering around servants…
“Yes! Yes!”
Seeing the situation resolved, the vice mayor and the head of the education bureau finally breathed a sigh of relief…
Beiming Han cast a cold glance at Su Yicheng, then rested his eyes on the little girl. Tightening his lips, he briskly strode out of the headmaster’s office..
