Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 338 Processing Results

As the voices were heard, a middle-aged man in his forties or even fifty strode into the inner office.

The middle-aged man was of medium height, with fair complexion, neatly combed 2:8 hair, wearing glasses and a dark blue Zhongshan suit that was almost new, his intellectual temperament was fully reflected.

Seeing this person coming in, Li Jinshan and He Yushui stood up from their chairs and greeted him, "Principal Song."

Seeing this, He Yuanchao also hurriedly stood up and nodded to Principal Song with a smile.

Although Principal Song looks thin and like a weak scholar, he speaks with full energy and does not behave like a cultured person at all.

Principal Song first smiled and greeted He Yuanchao and He Yushui, uncle and nephew, and then frowned and asked in a cold voice:
"Li Erlangzi, look at how capable you are. Tell me, whose arms and legs do you want to break?"

Li Jinshan seemed to be a little afraid of Principal Song. He didn't dare to get angry when someone called him a nickname in front of him. Instead, he explained with a smile on his face:
"Look at what you said. This is a new society. How dare I break someone's arms and legs?"

After saying this, Li Jinshan saw that Principal Song was still sulking, so he quickly pulled He Yuanchao out to blame him and said, "Principal Song, you know me well. When I see my comrades, I become careless and say whatever comes to my mind. I must pay attention next time."

Principal Song knew that Li Jinshan was just trying to fool him, but he had already been warned, and it would be too much to pursue the issue any further.

"Humph, it's easy to change the country but hard to change one's nature."

After a mild reprimand, Principal Song's expression eased up, and he immediately asked about what the security guard said on the phone.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinshan did not hide anything and told He Yushui, Qiu Peng and He Yuanchao everything that had happened between them.

After hearing the whole story, Principal Song couldn't help but frowned. He turned his head and first glanced at He Yuanchao, then spoke to He Yushui:

"Student He Yushui, why didn't you report this to the teacher first when you encountered something like this in school?"

Although He Yushui usually looks carefree, she was a little scared when facing the teacher's questioning and didn't know what to say.

Seeing his niece lowering her head and mumbling for a long time without saying a word, He Yuanchao said, "Principal Song, my niece is a girl. How can she tell the teacher about this?

If I hadn't discovered that she was mentally unstable a few days ago, our family would still be in the dark!"

In this era, people have simple thoughts and generally attach great importance to reputation, especially lesbians.

Principal Song has lived for more than 40 years and he understands that this kind of thing is indeed difficult to talk about for a young girl who is not very worldly-wise.

Although he was a little angry that He Yushui didn't trust the school, he could understand this matter that concerned reputation. After all, he also had a daughter.

Thinking of this, Principal Song's intention to investigate He Yuanchao for beating someone up in school unknowingly faded a lot.

But some things still need to be said, at least to let He Yuanchao understand the school's attitude.

"This is a school, a place to learn ideology and culture, not a place to do whatever you want. If there is something wrong, you can talk about it. If you can't solve it, don't you still have the police station?"

Just as Principal Song was lecturing He Yuanchao in the inner office, He Yushui and Qiu Peng's class teacher arrived at the security department's office one after another.

Both of their class teachers were female, and they were shocked when they saw Qiu Peng being beaten. Qiu Peng was a troublemaker in the class, who often got into fights, did not follow discipline, and talked back to the teacher, so his class teacher simply asked a few questions and stopped talking, with an attitude that the security department could handle it however they wanted.

He Yushui's head teacher was not very close to her usually, but when he saw Qiu Peng's face was deformed after being beaten, and he didn't see his students in the outer room, he thought something had happened and immediately became angry.

"Qiu Peng, where is He Yushui? What did you do to her?"

Today, Qiu Peng was first beaten by He Yuanchao, and then slapped in the face by Li Jinshan. When he arrived at the security department office, the security personnel who questioned him did not give him a good look.

He was holding back his anger, and seeing the female teacher's bossy look, he immediately found a place to vent his anger. He stood up with a bang, pointed at the face of He Yushui's head teacher and said loudly:
"What do you do? What I did to He Yushui is none of your business?"

Class teacher He Yushui was not an inexperienced girl. She was startled by Qiu Peng's action. When she came to her senses, she was shocked and angry and immediately scolded him:

"What do I do? I'm He Yushui's class teacher. I'm telling you, Qiu Peng, if He Yushui is fine, it's fine. But if you do anything dirty to her, even though your family is in government, I'll crawl to Juxiang's house and sue you, even if I have to."

"You're still going to Juxiangwu? Do you know which way the main gate of Zhongnanhai opens..."

……

There was a lot of noise coming from the outer office, and the people in the inner room could hear the reason for the quarrel clearly.

Principal Song has a common problem among intellectuals, that is, he cares about his reputation and is careful about his reputation. He feels very ashamed to hear teachers in his school arguing with students.

"The students don't act like students, and the teachers don't act like teachers. What kind of nonsense is this?"

Principal Song said this to himself and turned around and walked out without caring about the reactions of the people in the room.

Upon seeing this, Li Jinshan greeted He Yuanchao and He Yushui, uncle and nephew, and hurriedly followed them out.

When the uncle and nephew came out of the inner office, Qiu Peng and He Yushui's class teacher was being scolded with his head hung down.

Seeing He Yushui, the head teacher ran over as if he had met a long-lost relative, took her hand and started asking her about her well-being.

Principal Song glared at her unhappily, and seeing that the head teacher was trying to appease the students, he said nothing else and turned around to continue scolding Qiu Peng.

"You are not a child anymore, and you are still a technical secondary school student. How can you do such a shameless thing? Are you worthy of the education you received from the school? Are you worthy of the training you received from your parents..."

Facing Principal Song's scolding, Qiu Peng didn't dare to straighten his back. He just lowered his head and listened obediently without making any movement.

He vaguely heard from his father that Principal Song had a wide network of contacts, was on good terms with some big leaders, and could speak well in front of them.

Principal Song talked for about ten minutes until he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor outside his office. He then looked towards the door of the security department and asked Li Jinshan, who was standing not far from him:
"From the sound of the noise, they are heading for your security department. Has something happened? Go and check it out."

Li Jinshan responded, but before he could even raise his foot, a man in his fifties appeared at the door of the security department.
