For Beijing Middle School, today is a special day, because something big or small happened the day after the opening ceremony, so a teacher-student meeting was held today, and the school board of directors will decide what happened the next day.
Fighting incident.
At nine o'clock in the morning, more than 500 students gathered in the auditorium of Beizhong, and more than 100 Chinese and foreign faculty and staff were also present. Dozens of members of the school board of Beizhong also sat behind the rostrum, because it was
It is an international high school, and it is privately run, so there is no trace of China in all the decorations, but a strong Western flavor.
The person presiding over the meeting was the principal. He stood in front of the rostrum, with dozens of board members sitting behind him. There were two people sitting on his left, one was Yao Yun who was still wrapped in gauze, and the other was naturally his father.
A person with a very serious face always shows a bit of majesty in his meticulous appearance.
There were originally two places on the right, one for the person involved, Martin, and the other for Martin's father. However, for some reason, Martin's father did not attend the teacher-student meeting, so Martin was alone.
Sitting on the left, facing the eyes of the whole school.
The students and teachers present were talking a lot, because they were really surprised that Martin would attend his trial. There are also many foreign students in Beizhong, but they all know that this is not their world, and
It is the world dominated by Chinese students, although they tend to favor Martin in terms of stance.
Everyone knows that since Martin came to school, he has been at odds with the Chinese students in his class and has always been bullied. Over time, even students from other classes would trouble Martin from time to time. In school, Martin has two nicknames, one
One is a nigger and one is a punching bag.
These two extremely discriminatory titles made Martin the kind of person who is weak, easy to bully and unpopular with others. After all, this is an "aristocratic school", and although Martin's father's salary is good, he still has a long way to go.
He can't be called very rich. At best, he is just a wage earner from the United States who came to China to make money. He truly deserves the title of American dick.
The reason why Martin's father did not come to attend this hearing of all teachers and students in the school was because he already knew the results of the school's handling of the matter. Today's hearing was just a formality. The school board of directors would never attend the hearing because of Martin's usual behavior.
He was bullied and had a conscience to help Martin. He might as well use his time to find a new school for Martin.
The auditorium looked a bit like a Western-style courtroom. The principal knocked on the rostrum with a hammer that Western judges like to use, and then said: "Silence, silence!"
As a result, the auditorium fell silent. The principal glanced at the people present and said seriously: "This hearing was held today because of the vicious fight that occurred yesterday in Class 1, Grade 2, North High School. The impact of this incident was extremely bad. After
The school board of directors decided to give both parties the right to argue and finally determine the responsibilities that both parties should bear in this incident."
As he said that, the principal looked at Yao Yun, who was sitting on the left. He first nodded to his father, then his eyes stayed on Yao Yun and said, "Yao Yun, do you have anything to say about what happened yesterday?"
Hearing this, Yao Yun swallowed and glanced at Martin, who was lowering his head across from him. He was still a little scared at first, but at some point, his usual self-confidence suddenly returned. He stood up, picked up the microphone and spoke righteously.
Yan said: "I deeply regret Martin's behavior yesterday. I feel ashamed that I have such a classmate. I ask him to apologize to me in front of everyone and implore the school board to expel Martin. Otherwise, I cannot forgive him yesterday."
Behavior like a mad dog.”
After saying that, he glared at Martin coldly, and then sat down. Even the students present laughed at Yao Yun's retort, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with what Yao Yun said.
It all depends on Yao Yun being a disciple of a high-ranking cadre, and most of them are also descendants of high-ranking cadres.
"Classmate Martin, do you still need to argue?" The principal knocked the hammer, then looked at Martin and asked.
Martin raised his head and looked at the door of the auditorium, as if he was expecting something, but he was obviously disappointed. Then he looked fearfully at the teachers and students sitting in the auditorium, and finally lowered his head, his whole body seemed to be
He was trembling. He raised his head from time to time and then immediately lowered his head, as if he was struggling.
"I...I..." Martin finally raised his head and looked directly at the principal, but when he met the principal's stern gaze, Martin lowered his head again, obviously in fear.
"Hahaha, what a coward." The auditorium roared with laughter, leisurely mocking Martin without hesitation.
"Don't waste time, let's make a ruling quickly." A student said anxiously.
Yao Yun on the opposite side was very satisfied with Martin's performance. As expected, after the board of directors' decision, Martin would have to apologize to him. He was looking forward to it, although he didn't know why Martin would come to participate in this self-humiliating event.
hearing, but Yao Yun was happy to see him come. Even before he came, he was worried about whether Martin would come.
For Martin, there were two reasons why he did not dare to speak. The first was because Canglong promised that he would come, and the second was because the faces of everyone present, whether they were students or teachers, seemed to have "
The two words "noble" are the same, looking at him with a very unequal look.
He was like a poor loser in the eyes of these "nobles". They could pinch him to death at any time, so he prepared for one night, but all of them disappeared. His mind was filled with fear and worry. He began to worry that if he
If you speak, will your father lose his job?
"Maybe, my coming here today is just a joke. Maybe as long as I apologize, Yao Yun can calm down his anger, at least his father will not lose his job. Maybe..." Martin thought to himself, but suddenly he thought again
In one sentence, "You always give yourself countless reasons to cowardly give up your self-esteem because of reality, but you never give yourself a reason to regain your courage."
So he struggled until the principal said: "Since Mr. Martin is so guilty that he has nothing to say, let's ask the school board to make a ruling."
Martin mustered up the courage and was instantly defeated by these words. When his fate was pronounced, his chance was gone. Everything was still developing in the direction it should have developed. At that moment, Martin felt despair and just wanted to die as soon as possible.
Go and end this, don't be embarrassed anymore.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared: "If Beizhong doesn't even give Martin a chance to argue, then I can only say one thing to this school, fuck that bullshit International High School!"
The voice was thunderous, with a bit of anger and indifference, which made people feel hairy in their hearts. But then everyone looked at the owner of the voice and started talking involuntarily. The atmosphere in the venue became very embarrassing, especially
The board members behind the rostrum did not expect Canglong to appear.
Yao Yun shivered involuntarily, just like Zhang Ke and the others, while his father frowned and stared coldly at Cang Long's approaching figure.
When Canglong walked to Martin and sat down in his father's seat, the principal knocked the hammer and said coldly: "Teacher Cang, your words really do not meet the standards of a teacher and you are blatantly slandering the school. You will be fired."
.”
"Excuse me, is this a court?" Canglong looked unconcerned.
"Of course not, but this is a hearing held by the school. In such a serious occasion, you actually..." The principal's tone was a little angry. No matter what, Canglong used swear words as soon as he came. It really didn't give him face, even though he knew it very well.
Canglong is backed by Director Du of the Department of Higher Education.
But before he finished speaking, Canglong interrupted: "Since it's not a court, then I don't seem to have committed a crime. And don't you think it's ridiculous that you mentioned such a serious occasion?"
"Then you think this occasion is not serious?" the principal asked.
"I feel that today's hearing is simply ridiculous. Fortunately, this school is still registered as an international high school. It keeps saying that everything is in line with international standards, but what I see is a group of self-proclaimed aristocrats, but they bully a foreign country with righteousness.
Apart from human behavior, I don’t see any equality that I hope to see.” Canglong said calmly, “Is this the international integration you preach?”
"Teacher Cang!" The principal was slightly angry, "Please pay attention to your words. We have never advertised our school as a place where students are nobles, but we cultivate elites."
"Oh." Canglong smiled, "This is the first time I've heard that people who only bully the weak can also be called elites."
"You are slandering!" At this moment, a director sitting behind the podium couldn't help but said, "As a school teacher, you must have a clear stance."
"My position is very simple, I stand on the side of conscience." Canglong said calmly, "If you give me 10 million to stand on your side and say something for you about something without conscience, I might consider it.
Do you want to say, go to Male Gobi?"
"You...you..." The director hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't refute a word, because he knew Canglong's background better than the principal. Even though Canglong scolded him for having no conscience, he could only endure it.
go back.
"Teacher Cang, I have given Martin a chance, but he himself is unwilling to argue. This is not because we are unfair. Also, as a teacher of the school, you should bear great responsibility for this matter, and you should not do it now.
Sit next to Martin, but go back to where you should sit." The principal calmed down and said, what he meant was to remind him to pay attention to his identity and position, and there is no need to offend the entire school for one student.
people.
After all, Martin's matter cannot be solved by fairness at all, but a struggle between a senior cadre and an outsider. In this situation, Canglong, as a school teacher, should firmly stand on the side of the senior cadre, and
This is not a poor immigrant household.
However, Canglong didn't buy it: "I admit that I was the one who instigated the fight between Martin and Yao Yun, so I need to be responsible for my actions, but I don't think I was wrong. I was just fulfilling the obligations of a teacher."
