Chapter 418 An Apology Is Equal To Second Injury
Since they came to apologize, Hua Zhenxing couldn't drive them away with a straight face, just like Director Niu said, there must be a chance for people to reflect and admit their mistakes.

Qiao Shangao is 27 this year. If you listen to the accent, some people may think that Hua Zhenxing is his fellow villager.Although Hua Zhenxing opened the door to let him in and asked him to sit down and talk, he was still a little upset.

Is an apology that I have to make under pressure a real apology?
But Qiao Shangao came anyway, which shows that the right and wrong judging mechanism of the society is still normal, and people all know what he did wrong, otherwise Huazhenxing would not be able to complain; it also shows that the social error correction mechanism is still in operation, otherwise there would be no People will put pressure on him to come.

In the former Jili Kingdom, the right and wrong judgment mechanism is no longer normal, and the error correction mechanism is no longer in operation.

Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but think of Aden's experience. Back then, the thugs in the plantation were free to let dogs bite the slave workers at will.Therefore, Hua Zhenxing cherishes the current Jili Kingdom even more, and also likes the current Dongguo.

Since he likes Dongguo, of course he is even more upset when he sees Qiao Samgao.

If Qiao Samgao was sincere enough, he shouldn't let Director Niu run into trouble, but he would first take the initiative to come to Hua Zhenxing to apologize, at least he can come with Director Niu.Is it because Qiao Samgao is not smart enough to think of this?of course not!
If Hua Zhenxing had signed the processing receipt yesterday, he might not be able to wait for Qiao Shangao himself.

There is a quality in Hua Zhenxing that makes many people unhappy, that is, the innocence and seriousness of an idealist.It was only a matter of a few words, but it did not cause any serious consequences, and Qiao Samgao himself was beaten, so why bother?
But Hua Zhenxing knew very well that it was impossible for every student to be Shi Shuangcheng, and it was even more impossible for everyone to be Hua Zhenxing. The probability of Qiao Samgao meeting someone like them was too small.

In most cases, Qiao Samgao would neither be beaten nor punished, which inevitably gave him an illusion that what he did should neither be beaten nor punished.How could Hua Zhenxing give him such an illusion?

Qiao Shangao was in a very uneasy mood, what was he worrying about, Hua Zhenxing could directly feel it.Although Hua Zhenxing didn't practice Buddhism, he has a clear mind, but he still has the ability to sense emotions. After sitting down, he cut straight to the point and said, "Mr. Qiao, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Hua Zhenxing's attitude was acceptable, Qiao Shangao breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely: "Student Hua, I'm here to apologize to you!
At that time, in front of classmate Shi Shuangcheng, I really just accidentally said the wrong thing.I have already admitted my mistake to the leader, and I will also admit it to you today..."

It is impossible for Hua Zhenxing to ask, "Where did you go wrong?" This is not a quarrel between couples, and at the level of the department leaders, when they criticize Qiao Shangao, they must have already analyzed it very clearly.

So Hua Zhenxing just listened quietly, wondering what Qiao Samgao's purpose was?
After Qiao Samgao apologized, he took out a newest nectarine mobile phone from his handbag, put it on the table and said, "This is my apology, please accept it!"

Hua Zhenxing smiled, pushed the phone back and said, "There is no need for the gift, please take it back, I will not accept it."

Qiao Shangao was in a hurry: "This is my apology, please accept my apology!"

Hua Zhenxing: "I accept the apology, but the things will not be accepted."

Qiao Shangao said in surprise, "Student Hua is willing to accept the apology?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I've never been unwilling! Why don't I accept what should be done?"

Qiao Samgao: "Then you are willing to forgive me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "If you really repented, of course I wouldn't blame you now."

Qiao Samgao took out the receipt that Director Niu brought yesterday: "Then please sign this document, and you don't need to withdraw the school's complaint yourself, but the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still need to You withdraw the complaint yourself.

This requires you to go separately, so please accept the gift!If you have any other requests, don't forget to mention them. "

Hua Zhenxing narrowed his eyes: "I accept the apology, but I can't accept gifts, I can't sign this letter, and I can't withdraw my complaint."

Qiao Shangao was startled: "Didn't you just say that you were willing to forgive me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Is that what you mean by forgiveness?"

Qiao Samgao: "What else could that mean?"

Hua Zhenxing: "It seems that you don't quite understand the meaning of an apology. The so-called apology represents an attitude and admits that one has made a mistake. If people think that they have not made a mistake but have been unfairly punished, they can also insist on their own position.

From my standpoint, of course I think you are wrong, so you come to apologize, of course I am willing to accept it.I won't blame you for your apology now. What I'm complaining about is your wrong words and deeds. The two are not the same thing.

Admitting mistakes is not a punishment, but a kind of self-salvation. Without admitting mistakes, it is impossible to correct words and deeds.If you really admit your mistake, you should accept my complaint instead of asking me to withdraw it.

If you use an apology as a means to force the person you hurt and offend to tolerate your hurt and offense.This is not really admitting your mistakes, but letting the other person accept your mistakes.

A real apology should not be demanded of the victim.Using an apology to force the victim to express his position just to escape punishment is actually a secondary injury to the victim.

In reality, many victims may say, 'I don't ask for anything but an apology. 'This is often because they are unable to punish those who hurt them, and they can only hope that the society's right-wrong judgment mechanism is still normal.

As for you, today this is not an apology, but a beg for mercy, and you are begging the wrong person.

The so-called forgiveness means that only those who have the power to punish you are qualified to forgive you.I myself have not punished you in any way, and I have no right to punish you, so I am not qualified to forgive you. "

Qiao Samgao was a little confused, but he grasped the last sentence keenly, and said eagerly: "Why are you not qualified? You can just complain, as long as you sign this receipt and withdraw your complaint..."

Hua Zhenxing interrupted him: "My complaint is just a description of a fact. If you think it is inconsistent with the facts, you can point it out or refute it.

For example, if someone else's child does something wrong, his parents will discipline him.The school has the power to punish you, not because you offended me, but because you violated the regulations of the school and the Ministry of Education.

Chunhua University’s disciplinary requirements for faculty and staff, and the regulations of the Ministry of Education of Dongguo, I have no right to modify, let alone modify for you. This is a matter for the Ministry of Education and the school.

Punishment itself is not a problem, why should punishment be imposed and how should punishment be reasonable, this is the real problem. "

Qiao Shangao was really anxious: "But if you don't withdraw your complaint and express your understanding, the school may expel me! I don't know that your complaint has been taken seriously by that leader, and the school is also under pressure now."

Hua Zhenxing actually laughed again: "Fire you? It shouldn't be so serious. Sometimes punishment also depends on the attitude of admitting mistakes. Now that the facts have happened, I will not withdraw the complaint, but I can write a statement stating that you have come. Apologize to me."

Qiao Samgao: "What if the school really wants to expel me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "When you say that, it reminds me of a person. His surname is Ding, and he is a teacher I respect very much. Teacher Ding has some experiences similar to yours. He used to be a teaching assistant and an in-service doctorate in a key university.

Later he made a mistake and was expelled from school.I asked him about it and he said that was the price he should pay.The teacher Ding I know is definitely a person worthy of respect, and he has achieved extraordinary achievements now! "

While talking, Hua Zhenxing took out a piece of A4 paper and wrote an explanation:
"On the evening of September 2023, 9, Mr. Qiao Samgao came to the dormitory to apologize to me in person for his inappropriate words and deeds a few days ago. I accepted his apology and rejected the gift he brought (a new nectarine mobile phone) .

After Mrs. Qiao Shangao apologized, he asked me to sign the prepared school processing receipt (with a photo), but I did not sign it.He also asked me to withdraw two complaints to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but I did not agree.

Hereby explain.

Hua Zhenxing, September 2023, 9"

After finishing writing, he handed the paper to Qiao Samgao.Qiao Samgao glanced twice, his expression changed, he stared at Hua Zhenxing and said, "You just write me such an explanation?"

Hua Zhenxing asked back: "Isn't it true?"

Qiao Shangao shook the paper and threw it away, and said in a stern tone, "Student Hua Zhenxing, if the school punishes me, have you ever thought about the price you will pay?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't tell me you want to fight with me? I suggest that you better give up this idea."

Qiao Shangao: "You will offend many people, including teachers. Chunhua University also has regulations. If you don't have enough credits, you can't graduate. If you fail too many subjects in the exam, you will be dismissed."

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't need to worry about it! If I obey the discipline and pass every exam, there is no reason why I can't get a diploma, right?"

Qiao Shangao: "You have a good idea! Your parents created such a nationality for you, and finally entered Chunhua University. They must have tried their best? If you were dismissed by the school, what would be the consequence?
Do you really think you got in by virtue of your ability?The school takes good care of you international students. The teachers generally don’t make things difficult for you. They usually give you a pass if they can, but it’s not necessarily the case with you! "

Hua Zhenxing: "You mean, if I don't agree to your request, you will go to the teachers of various subjects and deliberately fail me? You don't seem to care about this kind of thing!"

Qiao Shangao: "You don't need me to do anything. Are you confused about your own situation? It's not just me who offends you, but the entire group of teachers. As long as you are graded truthfully, do you think you can pass and graduate? More Forget about scholarships!"

Hua Zhenxing said with a smile: "I don't believe that Chunhua's teachers are all people like you, and I fully understand why you came today. Are you threatening me?"

His appearance was simply too hateful, Qiao Shangao said bitterly: "I didn't threaten you, I just told you a fact! You are also from Dongguo, you should know how to be a human being and keep a line so that we can meet each other in the future!"

Hua Zhenxing pointed to the laptop next to the bed, which was turned on but with a black screen: "Let me also tell you the fact that the camera of this laptop has been turned on all the time, and the conversation we just had was recorded."

Qiao Samgao panicked in an instant, subconsciously stood up and rushed forward, reaching out to snatch the laptop.He actually made a move, and then his eyes blurred, and then he was dizzy for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself lying in the green belt outside the dormitory building. Due to the dark sky and the barrier of honeysuckle hedges, the students passing by did not notice that the bag containing the mobile phone box was also in the chest.

Hua Zhenxing's dormitory is on the second floor. If he falls from the window, he might not die, but he won't be unscathed. The more important question is - how did he get here?
Qiao Shangao was inexplicably terrified, but he didn't dare to go to Hua Zhen anymore.At the same time, Hua Zhenxing dialed the phone number Director Niu left for him last time: "Mr. Niu? Qiao Shangao came to see me just now...I have a document to show you now."

In Hua Zhenxing's dormitory, after watching the recording in the notebook, Director Niu's face turned dark, and when he looked up and saw Hua Zhenxing, his face was full of embarrassment.

Hua Zhenxing took the initiative and said: "It's not that I don't deny people the opportunity to reform, I'm even willing to give this opportunity to millions of people. The reason why I didn't sign yesterday is that he will definitely come in person, even though I said nothing. I don't need him to apologize to me.

He really didn't come to apologize!In fact, when I got the recording from Shi Shuangcheng, I knew who he was.I can also guess what his purpose would be if he came to me. The school has to deal with it clearly, isn't it?

In reforming one's past, one has to truly reform one's past before one can talk about self-rehabilitation.If he just sincerely apologized and admitted his mistake today, I will also truthfully respond to you.If that's the case, presumably the school will not give him too severe a punishment. "

This is the truth. Hua Zhenxing is a very generous person. With so many gangsters in Jili Kingdom, didn't he give him a chance to reform himself?Let them accept labor reform, attend study classes, and then integrate into the new society.

Director Niu actually sighed: "Actually, even if he doesn't come to you to apologize, the school will not expel him." Having said that, he quickly added, "Of course, punishment must be done!"

Hua Zhenxing: "So now, what else do I need to do?"

Director Niu: "Leave this record to me. Please rest assured that the school will deal with it severely. Let me say something in private first, don't even want his teaching position and degree!"

Xiaohua, I am lucky to have met you this time. If it were another student, I don’t know how he would scare me.As for the things he threatened you, you don't have to worry, I can assure you that it won't happen..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Then it's hard work for Mr. Niu. You need to make a special trip this late at night."

Director Niu thought of something again, and said a little worriedly: "Student Xiaohua, please believe that the school will deal with it seriously. As for these things, please don't send them to the media or put them on the Internet..."

Hua Zhenxing: "As long as the school can handle it according to regulations, I have no intention of doing so. After all, it is the school that has the qualifications and responsibility to handle this matter, not any online media.

The basis of justice is the judgment of facts, not which party has the right to speak, or is more powerful and shameless, don't you think? "
