The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

It's very simple.

It's just a dispute between two kids.

But as soon as Chen Cheng finished speaking,

Zhou Jiajun's mom exploded.

She put down the child in her arms, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Chen Cheng, yelling, "Nonsense, our little Junjun couldn't possibly lie. It must be you, you little brat, who's lying. Tell the truth, how exactly did you scratch our Junjun, or else I'll tear your mouth apart."

This outburst of hers,

made Chen Fang a little unhappy.

Not to mention the foul language coming out of her mouth,

but this kind of attitude can frighten the children.

Sure enough,

under the intimidation of Zhou Jiajun's mom,

Chen Cheng turned pale with fright,

and hid behind Chen Fang.

Unexpectedly, this only made Zhou Jiajun's mom more aggressive.

She sneered and said, "Look? Still won't admit it, feeling guilty now? Chen Cheng's dad, let me tell you, your kid is learning to lie at such a young age. When she grows up, she'll definitely be a swindler."

"Enough!"

Chen Fang finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He shouted, "Zhou Jiajun's mom, clean up your language. I didn't argue with you because I understand your eagerness to protect your child. This matter isn't complicated; isn't there surveillance in the classroom? A simple check will show whose fault it is. If our Chen Cheng is at fault, I will apologize and make compensation. If your child is at fault, then you should apologize to my child."

"Heh, me apologize? In your dreams. Teacher, tell me, how exactly did our Junjun get hurt?"

Zhou Jiajun's mom looked at the teacher and asked.

The teacher's face showed a trace of panic.

However, she quickly calmed down,

turned to Chen Fang, and said, "Chen Cheng's dad, since I called you here, the matter has been cleared up. This kind of thing with your child has happened more than once. Could I possibly unjustly accuse her?"

"Dad, I didn't, I really didn't..."

shaking Chen Fang's leg,

Chen Cheng said aggrievedly.

Chen Fang nodded towards her,

and then said, "I believe my daughter. Since you say you have it all figured out, let's see the surveillance footage."

"There's no surveillance, the camera is broken,"

the teacher replied without a second thought.

Chen Fang paused for a moment and said, "Alright, since there's no video and both parties can't agree, I suggest we call the police."

After saying that,

he took out his phone.

This action,

made the teacher even more panicked.

She let out a long sigh and said, "Chen Cheng's dad, please step outside, I have something to tell you."

Chen Fang considered for a moment,

said to Chen Cheng, "Wait here for dad; dad will be right back."

Then,

he walked with the teacher out to the hallway.

The teacher said straight out, "Chen Cheng's dad, I advise you not to call the police. If this blows up, it won't look good for anyone."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Fang asked in confusion.

The teacher glanced back at the office,

and said, "Zhou Jiajun is different from your child. His father, Zhou Jingbo, is the deputy director of our Fengyang Street Office. If you want your child to continue studying here, you should listen to me."

Suddenly, it hit Chen Fang,

and he asked, "Teacher, from what you're saying, the injury to that little boy's arm has nothing to do with our Chen Cheng?"

The teacher's face showed no trace of guilt.

She said, "I'm doing this out of necessity. Little Zhou Jiajun got hurt from a fall, which would make it my responsibility as a teacher. If it were a child who caused the scratch, there's nothing they can really pursue. If you take the blame for this, I'll make sure to give special care to Chen Cheng in the future. I assume you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, do you?"

Understood.

Finally understood completely.

It turns out that little Zhou Jiajun indeed got hurt by his own fall.

He didn't manage to grab some snacks, so he falsely accused Chen Cheng.

The teacher, fearing she'd be implicated, wronged Chen Cheng even though she knew Zhou Jiajun was lying.

Chen Fang took a deep breath,

just about to refuse,

when he heard a loud cry coming from the office.

His heart skipped a beat.

It was Chen Cheng's crying voice.

Not bothering to argue with the teacher, he rushed in immediately.

He saw little Zhou Jiajun grabbing Chen Cheng's hair, pressing her to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Fang shouted in a booming voice,

pulling Zhou Jiajun off Chen Cheng,

then picking Chen Cheng up.

At this moment, Chen Cheng was crying so pitifully.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiajun's mom was sitting in a chair with her arms crossed, leg propped up, and said sarcastically, "Oh, now you feel heartache, huh? When your daughter was hurting our Junjun, why didn't you feel heartache then? Serves you right! Junjun, mommy tells you, whenever you see this Chen Cheng, hit her hard, just like today, understand?"

"Got it,"

Zhou Jiajun nodded and said.

He was a chubby little boy,

and in terms of strength, Chen Cheng was no match for him.

"Is this how you teach your child?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhou Jiajun's mom said coldly, "Yes, this is exactly how I teach. Our Junjun gets to do whatever he wants. If you can't take it, just withdraw her from school. But from now on, I guarantee you, your child won't find a single school in Rongjiang City that will accept her."

This statement completely enraged Chen Fang.

He turned to the teacher standing to the side,

and asked, "Ms. Sun, you heard what Zhou Jiajun's mom just said. Can you assure the safety of my daughter?"

"No, we can't,"

the teacher coldly shook her head and said.

These words,

made Zhou Jiajun's mom even more smug.

She looked at Chen Fang with disdain,

as if to say, what can you do to me?

"Fine, if that's the case, then I'll just transfer my child,"

after saying this,

Chen Fang stood up holding Chen Cheng.

As he was about to leave,

Zhou Jiajun's mom blocked his way.

She asked, "You're just going to leave like this?"

"What else do you want?"

"About my son's injury, don't you plan to address it?"

Zhou Jiajun's mom asked.

"How do you want it addressed?"

"First, apologize to my son. Second, compensate us. I need to take my son for a thorough check-up. What if there are aftereffects?"

Zhou Jiajun's mom said arrogantly, tilting her head.

Chen Fang retorted, "What if I don't pay?"

"Then I'll have to make sure your daughter gets taken to the police station. Any psychological trauma she suffers then won't be my responsibility,"

the woman said proudly.

Hearing this, Chen Fang decided not to leave.

He set Chen Cheng down,

pulled up a chair, and sat down.

He said, "Alright, I'll oblige. Go ahead and call the police. I'd like to see who dares to arrest my daughter."

"Fine, if you refuse the easy offer,"

Zhou Jiajun's mom muttered,

taking out her phone,

she stepped out of the office.

After about two minutes or so,

she returned.

She told Chen Fang, "The police are already on their way. Let's wait and see; I want to see how you will keep your stubbornness then..."
