"What are you doing, Zhuang Feng? Your teacher will look down on you if you do this."
Teacher Liu wanted to pull me up, but I quickly kowtowed and called him grandpa. Guo Tao told me to kneel for a while longer, and he wouldn't hold Teacher Liu responsible for this.
Her face was full of resentment. She probably thought that her student had done nothing wrong, but he was being treated unfairly.
"Haha, I didn't know you would bow your head. How rare." Guo Tao's eyes were full of pride.
At this moment, I heard a familiar female voice. "Run faster."
Following this, a slender figure appeared, who turned out to be Liu Jie!
Seeing me kneeling on the ground, her face turned pale and she hurried to pull me back.
A middle-aged man with a square face followed behind her. He gave off a dignified aura.
"I told you to hurry up, but you dilly-dally. Do you have a weak kidney?
You bullied my brother Xiao Feng! "Liu Jie placed her hands on her hips, displaying a rare domineering and unruly attitude.
The middle-aged man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't retort. On the other hand, Teacher Liu's expression was extremely strange.
At this moment, Guo Tao couldn't hold it in anymore. "Hey, Liu Jie, what kind of dog or cat did you find? Let me see. I'm not afraid to tell you that even if the Emperor of Heaven comes, he will have to kneel!"
"Why?!" Liu Jie glared at Guo Tao.
"Because my uncle is here. He's the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau. Are you unhappy? Even if you are, you should hold it in," Guo Tao said arrogantly.
He didn't notice the gloomy look on Deputy Director Guo's face. "Shut up!" Guo Tao was dumbfounded by the roar.
"Haha, Little Guo, you're so arrogant!" The middle-aged man smiled faintly.
"I don't dare. Brother Zhao, please don't joke around," Deputy Guo said with a trembling voice. It wasn't hard to see that he was afraid of the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Uncle, who is he? How could he call you Little Guo? That's so rude. Didn't you say that there's nothing in Third High that you can't handle?" Guo Tao asked in puzzlement.
"I told you to shut up, didn't you understand?
This is my boss, the head of the Education Bureau, Director Zhao! "He was so angry that he slapped Guo Tao's face and said seriously.
"Huh?" Not only me, even Guo Tao was shocked.
The leader of the Ministry of Education … It was a simple title, but it was enough to cause a sensation. I was wondering why a person as powerful as Deputy Director Guo had to bow and scrape.
That was not the point. Just now, Liu Jie scolded and even insulted Chief Zhao because he ran too slowly, causing me to suffer. No wonder Ms. Liu was so scared. As the class teacher, she had been to many meetings and meetings, so she must have seen Chief Zhao before. Now, Liu Jie said that he had kidney deficiency … My heart was beating non-stop.
Only Liu Jie had the guts to say that. If it were any other student, they would have died instantly. I heard that her father and Chief Zhao used to be comrades in arms, so they must have a good relationship. Chief Zhao didn't get angry at Liu Jie's rude attitude. Instead, he acted like a kind elder.
I had to admit that Chief Zhao had a good character. In this day and age, even the director of the toilet was arrogant. He didn't care about his reputation at all, which was how a mature man should behave. I had more respect and praise for him now.
Guo Tao gulped. "Uncle, y-you're not joking with me, are you? Today isn't April Fool's Day."
"I don't have time for that. Hurry up and apologize to Chief Zhao!" Deputy Guo scolded.
Guo Tao nodded. "Yes, yes, Chief Zhao. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a great man."
"Yeah, it's not a crime to be ignorant. What happened?" Chief Zhao didn't care about it.
"Uncle Zhao, have you gone senile? Didn't you see it when you came in? He forced Xiao Feng to kneel. I'm so angry. You must teach him a lesson today. Otherwise, I won't hang out with your Niuniu anymore." Liu Jie's chest heaved up and down. She looked really cute when she was angry.
I now realized that she cared about me a lot. Even though I was humiliated, she didn't look down on me. Instead, she stood up for me and shouted at the head of the Education Bureau. She had completely overturned her ladylike image.
Chief Zhao looked embarrassed. Although he was the leader of the bureau, he couldn't act without scruples. A man of his stature was afraid of being caught. I had noticed a flash of cunning in Deputy Chief Guo's eyes. He was keeping quiet, which was the best way to deal with the situation.
Liu Jie had a one-track mind. If Chief Zhao listened to her, it would be easy for others to criticize him. I squeezed her hand. "Xiao Jie, don't lose your temper. I like your ladylike image."
"Sob sob, Brother Feng, I feel so sad when I see you suffer, so I want to bring bad people like them to justice." Liu Jie pouted, and tears flashed in her eyes.
I was a little embarrassed as I had mocked her last night. In fact, Liu Jie didn't mean what she said. She just wanted to provoke me, so we parted on bad terms.
Although we were at odds with each other this morning, I had shamelessly coaxed her. It could be considered as turning over a new leaf. Now that she had specifically asked Chief Zhao to help me solve my problems, I was even more determined to treat Liu Jie well. A girl like her, if I let her go, I might not have another in this lifetime.
"It's okay. Just follow the procedure. As long as Chief Zhao does things according to the rules, we won't be afraid." I didn't think I had done anything wrong.
;
Then, Chief Zhao looked at me meaningfully. He couldn't hide his admiration. Liu Jie's words had put him in a difficult position. Although his position was one level higher than Deputy Chief Guo's, we were in a society ruled by law. Everything had to be based on reason.
"Xiao Tao, just tell me the truth." Deputy Chief Guo pouted his lips.
Guo Tao was very cunning. He avoided the important points and focused on trivial matters. He made himself sound innocent. His shoes were burned and he was beaten twice. He was so humiliated that he had no way out. That's why he had asked his uncle for help.
Deputy Chief Guo pulled a long face. I felt that if Chief Zhao wasn't here, he would have clapped his hands and cheered.
"Chief Zhao, look at him. I can't bear to watch him being beaten up like this. That's why I punished him. My nephew will not be able to go to school for at least a few months, and his studies will be delayed." Deputy Chief Guo added fuel to the fire.
Chief Zhao furrowed his brows. "Young man, why did you beat him so ruthlessly?"
"He was too despicable. I couldn't help but hit him." I thought for a moment then gave him an appropriate reason.
"Look, Chief Zhao. This kind of violent madman will only bring harm to others if he stays in school. I don't care if I get hurt, but the flowers of our motherland can be destroyed at any time." Guo Tao sighed.
"Hey, can you be more shameless? It was you who hit Fatty. You wanted to use your uncle to deal with me. Just now, in this room, you threatened Fatty and me. You even touched Lin Xiaoya's breasts and threatened her to give you a bite. Why didn't you say anything?" I glared at him and threw him a heavy bomb.
"Huh?" Except for the four of us, the others were dumbfounded.
"Zhuang Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I didn't threaten you. I wanted to talk to you, but you hit me. My hand is still swollen." Guo Tao didn't want to admit what he had done.
