“What?!”Jiadong was hopping mad. “You’re just a physical education teacher, yet you’re talking to a vice principal like me like that? You’ve got no respect for me! Let’s go to the principal’s office right now, and if I don’t get you fired, my surname won’t be Feng!”
Lin Yi shrugged. “Let’s go, I was just about to talk some sense into you.”
Stretching his back, Lin Yi turned to the students.
“We won’t be able to continue today’s swimming class, but none of you should leave. Stay here and keep an eye on them.”
“Understood, Teacher Lin.”
Lin Yi and Feng Jiadong walked out of the swimming pool and saw a large group of people standing outside.
They had all heard about the international students getting beaten up and had come to watch the show.
“These people are using their identity as international students to run amok in the university. Teacher Lin’s actions are really satisfying!”
“What are you looking at? Disperse or I’ll give you a demerit!”
The surrounding students left resentfully. They didn’t dare to speak out against Feng Jiadong.
If it wasn’t for his backing, these foreign students wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.
In other words, he was the culprit!
As the students dispersed, Sugar and Song Jia jogged over.
“Principal Feng, calm down. There must be a misunderstanding,” Sugar explained.
Lin Yi was the honorary vice principal of the school.
Feng Jiadong was the executive vice principal of the university.
Although they were both vice principals, there was a huge difference in their power.
Lin Yi’s position didn’t hold any real power, and he couldn’t be compared to Feng Jiadong.
It was hard to say who the principal would favor in the end.
After all, Feng Jiadong’s position wasn’t low, and he was the second-in-command in the university.
“There’s no misunderstanding,” Lin Yi said.
“I’m the one who did it. This matter is clear, there’s no misunderstanding at all.”
Sugar’s expression fell. ‘Can’t you just let me have some peace of mind?’
‘Even if there’s no misunderstanding, you can’t just speak the truth!’
“Director Su, this is none of your business. I hope you won’t interfere!”
Feng Jiadong harrumphed coldly. Then, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the principal’s office.
At this moment, in the principal’s office, Zhou Genzhe stood in front of Zhao Qi and recounted the events at the swimming pool to him.
“This Feng Jiadong is getting more and more outrageous!” Zhao Qi slammed the table. “He actually indulged his international students and did such a thing. If this matter gets out, our university will become a joke!”
Seeing Zhao Qi’s anger, Zhou Genzhe stood at the side and didn’t dare to say anything.
This matter involved two principals. He was just a small secretary and didn’t have the right to participate. It was better to let Principal Zhao decide how to deal with it.
Dang dang dang…
There was an urgent knock on the door, and without waiting for Zhao Qi’s permission, Feng Jiadong pushed the door open and entered.
The three vice-principals gathered in the office, and Zhou Genzhe quietly left. With his identity, he had no right to stay here.
“Principal Zhao, I’m sure you’ve heard about Lin Yi beating up international students. I think this matter should be dealt with seriously, and we can’t tolerate it!” Feng Jiadong said coldly.
“Such a black sheep has appeared among our ranks. If we let him stay in the school, who knows how many people will end up being persecuted by him?”
Zhao Qi pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice,
“I’ve also heard about the incident at the swimming pool. That international student named George openly harassed a female student from the university and even urinated in the swimming pool. Do you want to give me an explanation for this?”
“It’s indeed their fault. I’ll teach them a lesson later,” said Feng Jiadong.
“But I don’t think it’s a big deal. Foreign Students advocate freedom and independence. In their country, this is considered a kind of performance art. There’s no need to go overboard.”
Pfft!
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“No wonder you became the vice principal. Your level of education is really not bad to claim that this has something to do with performance arts. Impressive.”
“I’m talking to Principal Zhao. You don’t have the right to speak. Pay attention to your identity!”
“Lin Yi is not only a physical education teacher at the university, he’s also the honorary vice principal of the school. Do you think he has no right to interrupt with his identity?”
Feng Jiadong was stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears.
“Principal Zhao, what did you say? He’s the school’s honorary vice principal?”
Although Lin Yi’s name was added to the school’s official website, everyone knew that the official website was just a decoration. No one would even look at it.
This applied to Feng Jiadong as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown such an attitude. He wouldn’t have spoken to Lin Yi in such a restrained manner.
“You think I’d joke around with you about this?” Zhao Qi snorted coldly.
“Principal Zhao, we both know what’s the real deal with the honorary vice principal position. It’s an empty title, and it’s completely useless in front of me.” Feng Jiadong snorted coldly.
“The families of these overseas students are all quite famous in the local area. This has a very important impact on our school’s international reputation. In addition, their annual donations we receive from them are sizeable. Compared to the contributions from overseas students, an honorary vice principal like him is nothing!”
Zhao Qi pick up the cigarette on the table and lit ut. “Since we’re talking about contributions, I’ll have a chat with you.”
“I’m sure you know about the newly established computer lab in our school.”
“Of course I do. It’s said that it cost more than 20 million dollars. The leaders from the education bureau attach great importance to it. This can be considered as a business card that our school can take out and flex.”
Zhao Qi flicked the ash off his cigarette. “Those are just some surface-level reports. You don’t know the real situation.”
“Could there be other insider information?” Feng Jiadong asked in surprise.
“Why don’t I, the executive vice principal, know about it?”
Because Teacher Lin is very low-key and didn’t want to publicize it. That’s why I didn’t say anything.”
“Huh? He teaches sports. What does this have to do with him?”
“To tell you the truth, that lab was donated by Teacher Lin,” Zhao Qi said.
“Who do you think contributed more if you were to compare Teacher Lin compared to those international students?”
Feng Jiadong was stunned. He stood rooted to the ground like a nail.
For a moment, he couldn’t accept the change in Lin Yi’s identity.
“He’s that rich?!”
“He’s more than rich.” Zhao Qi said expressionlessly.
“Not only was the equipment in the lab donated by Teacher Lin, but even the Longxin Research Institute in Zhonghai also belongs to Teacher Lin. Many of our school’s research projects were completed with the help of this institution. How can you compare those shit international students to Teacher Lin’s contributions? Are you out of your mind?”
Feng Jiadong’s face turned ugly. He’d never dreamed that Lin Yi would have such an identity.
Not only could he not touch him, with the current scale of the teacher’s university, it was only right for them to treat him as their ancestor.
Beating up a few international students wasn’t a problem at all.
“Principal Zhao, look what happened was a misunderstanding.” Feng Jiadong immediately changed his attitude and said with a smile.
“Since we’re all on the same side, let’s forget about this. I’ll go back and teach them a lesson.”
After saying that, Feng Jiadong left the office.
After leaving the office, he heaved a sigh of relief as the suffocating feeling disappeared.
After Feng Jiadong left, Zhao Qi looked at Lin Yi.
“How do you want to deal with him, Teacher Lin?”
“I’m just a physical education teacher. I don’t have the right to make decisions on this. Principal Zhao, you can decide for yourself.”
Zhao Qi frowned slightly. Although Lin Yi didn’t say anything, his words were enough to show his stance.
“Feng Jiadong’s identity is different from Li Detian’s, so I have to take it slow. This matter can’t be rushed. It’ll take some time before there’s a result.”
“Just do as you see fit. You’re the principal, after all.”
“Other than that, I don’t want those foreign students to appear in the university anymore.”
“That’s not a problem, I’ll deal with it seriously.”
“Alright, that’s it for now. It’s already noon, I have to go eat.”
Lin Yi stretched lazily and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat.
However, at that moment, he heard a scream.
“Molestation, molestation, Feng Jiadong molested a girl with a slender waist and long legs!”
