Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Wang Changmin's nose almost turned crooked with anger. Did this old woman not know what was good for her? He stood aside indignantly.

Vice Principal Qi wanted to go forward to help Hu Yingying, but Qin Dabao glared at her and she retreated in fear.

"Put the knife down! I'm telling you, Hu Yingying's father is the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and her grandfather is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. How dare you, a mere police officer, hit her? Is this outrageous?"

Qin Dabao saw this and thought, is this a competition between father and grandfather? Is this vice principal a fool? Didn't Li Tao tell her about Lu Tong and Lu Li's family background?

He turned around and asked Lu Tong: "Didn't you tell them who your father and grandfather are?"

Lu Tong and Lu Li shook their heads. "My dad wouldn't let me tell you, but Li Tao and Li Li definitely know. I don't know why they didn't tell me either."

At that moment, an old man pushed aside the students and walked in. He was startled to see the police officer holding a knife. What was going on? Had the police officer changed his weapon? Instead of a gun, he had switched to a knife?

He quickly walked around the desk and asked, "Principal Qi, Director Wang, what's going on?"

The old man approached and covered his nose: "What's that smell? It's so pungent? Why does it smell like a toilet?"

Qin Dabao laughed when he saw it. This little old man is quite interesting.

Wang Changmin quickly said, "Principal."

Vice Principal Qi gritted his teeth and called out, "Principal."

The old man's hands were covered in ink. He took off his sleeves and said, "Comrade Public Security, I am Cai Tong, the principal of our school. What are you doing? Why are you holding a knife? What's going on?"

Qin Dabao put the knife on the desk and saluted. He was a student and had always respected and been somewhat in awe of his teachers and the principal because he had always been a good boy.

"Hello, Principal Cai. My name is Qin Dabao. I work in the Equipment Department of the Municipal Bureau. Lu Tong and Lu Li are my cousins. Today, I came to deliver something to my cousin, and I saw these three people armed with weapons, about to attack my cousin, so I intervened."

When it comes to the art of language, Qin Dabao is an old hand. He defined the incident as attempted assault and injury as soon as he opened his mouth, which is enough to warrant a sentence.

Principal Cai is so old and cunning that he immediately understood the meaning of Qin Dabao's words, so he didn't respond at all.

"Comrade Xiao Qin, the students still have to attend classes. How about we go to my office to talk?"

This is the wisdom of the leader. He first stabilized Dabao and the others, and then reduced the matter to the smallest scope. Unlike Vice Principal Qi, who came up and started shouting, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"Okay," Qin Dabao certainly had no objection. He picked up the bag on the desk and walked out first with his two sisters.

Principal Cai nodded secretly. This young policeman was quite sensible and showed his attitude right away. This matter should be easy to resolve today.

He looked at Hu Yingying, who was still unconscious, and turned around and said, "Vice President Qi, please send Hu Yingying to the infirmary. Director Wang, please take them both to my office."

Director Wang agreed, and Principal Cai turned and walked out the door. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "Bring over the knives and sticks! Humph, these are not students at all! They're just like hooligans on the street."

Vice Principal Qi was anxious: "Principal Cai, this matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet. It's not good to jump to conclusions, right?"

Principal Cai glanced back at her and said, "Isn't this obvious enough? You can't possibly say this police officer came to school carrying a knife and a stick, can you?"

Vice Principal Qi wasn't completely foolish. She understood the seriousness of the matter. She took two steps forward and whispered, "Principal Cai, Hu Yingying's status is special. If this matter gets blown out of hand, it won't be good for anyone, and of course, it won't be good for the school either. Can you please keep this matter under control? Hu Yingying was injured. Let the police officer apologize and pay for her medical expenses. Then the matter will be over. What do you think?"

Principal Cai looked at her as if she were a fool: "Hu Yingying's identity is special? How is it special? Tell me."

Vice Principal Qi leaned in closer and whispered, "Principal..."

Principal Cai took a step back: "Just say it right there, I can hear you." He frowned and raised his hand to cover his nose. My goodness, did this woman eat garlic? What a smell.

"Principal, Hu Yingying's father is Director Hu of the Municipal Education Bureau, and her grandfather is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If they feel comfortable placing their child in our school, shouldn't we protect her? Furthermore, Director Hu is in charge of our school. If we don't handle this matter well, then future funding approvals... will be difficult."

Principal Cai smiled contemptuously: "Principal Qi, according to you, the school should protect Hu Yingying? Just because she has a good family background? Can she casually use a knife or a stick to hurt other students in school? If so, then what is the meaning of the school's existence? What is the meaning of my teaching and educating people? People like you who curry favor with the powerful are really unworthy of being a teacher. Let me tell you, whoever is responsible for this matter is responsible. I, Cai Tong, will never tolerate it, and I will not bow to those so-called powerful people!" After that, he left, and the students watching at the door burst into warm applause.

Vice Principal Qi's face changed drastically when he heard this. He had to call his brother-in-law immediately, otherwise it would become a big deal.

In the principal's office, Qin Dabao told the whole story from beginning to end. Principal Cai was furious. He grabbed the cup and threw it on the ground.

Dabao really didn't expect that this little old man, who looked so dry, had such a bad temper.

"A rotten tree cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be plastered! Scum! Scum!"

The phone rang, and Principal Cai picked up the phone: "This is Cai Tong."

A man's voice came from the phone, sounding a bit arrogant: "Principal Cai, this is Hu Wenming."

Principal Cai said coldly, "It's Deputy Director Hu. What can I do for you?"

"My daughter, Hu Yingying, was assaulted by someone unknown at school. Principal Cai, you must give me an explanation."

"Then what explanation does Deputy Director Hu want?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, but the school needs to take a stance on this matter."

"Deputy Director Hu, I'm fully aware of the entire situation. My stance is to expel Li Tao and Li Li, and give Hu Yingying a serious warning..."

Deputy Director Hu on the opposite side was silent for a moment before Principal Cai said this.

"Principal Cai, did I hear correctly? Hu Yingying is my daughter, she was beaten..."

"What's wrong with your daughter? Your daughter can attack with a knife? Your daughter can do whatever she wants in school? She can bully other students at will? What gives her the right? What gives you the right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Principal Cai became angry and the person on the other side also got angry.

"Cai Tong, don't yell at me just because you're senior. I'm the deputy director of the Education Bureau, your boss. Where's your respect for him? How can you speak to him like that?"

"That's how I talk. Not to mention you, the deputy director, I'll still say the same thing to Zhang Qijun and Mei Ruolin. If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, forget it."

Deputy Director Hu immediately lost his energy. He was just a small deputy director, and those two were big leaders of the Ministry of Education. How could he dare to compete with them?

Moreover, Cai Tong actually addressed the big leader by his name, which meant they must have a very close relationship.

Deputy Director Hu softened: "Principal Cai, calm down. I was just worried about the child and spoke without thinking. Please don't blame me."

"Deputy Director Hu, I still mean the same thing. If you want our school to handle it internally, that's the result. If you don't want us to handle it internally, then let the public security department handle it. You decide for yourself."

"Okay, okay, Principal Cai, I'll do as you say. The school will handle this internally, internally."

"Also, I'll give you three days to get rid of your sister-in-law. She doesn't do her job properly and only resorts to trickery. No. 21 Middle School can't tolerate such people."

After the call ended, Principal Cai, still furious, cursed, "You brought disgrace upon yourself."

He turned to Dabao and said, "Comrade Xiao Qin, please be more understanding. After all, this is a school, and what matters is the school's reputation..." Principal Cai smiled bitterly and said, "What needs to be covered up must be covered up. Even though it was not my original intention, I can't help it. But I promise you, such a thing will never happen again."

Qin Dabao quickly said, "Principal Cai, please don't say that. I am very satisfied with your handling of the matter. I have to thank you."

Principal Cai waved his hands, his expression extremely bleak.

Qin Dabao knew that being a principal was actually the same as being a parent. They both needed to be ignorant. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. If something like Li Tao's happened were to be spread, it would not be good for the school's reputation. As for Hu Yingying, she was a girl after all. He could not send her to jail. Even for just one day, the child would be completely ruined.

Besides, Principal Cai’s handling of the matter was quite serious. After this incident, the Hu family should behave themselves.

Qin Dabao carried the bag and said goodbye. He sent his two sisters to the dormitory. Classes were still in session at this time and the campus was very quiet.

"Tongtong, your principal Cai seems very powerful. He even dares to confront the director of the Education Bureau."

Lu Tong and Lu Li looked proud: "That's right, our President Cai was once the Minister of Education in the Republic of China. President Cai of Peking University is his cousin. Don't you think it's impressive?"

"Oh my god! That's too fierce, no wonder!"

Principal Cai is really amazing. He is actually the cousin of the advocate of new ideas and new culture. No wonder he doesn't care about a small deputy director.

"Brother, what delicious food did you bring us? It looks very heavy."

"I just found some good food today and quickly brought it to you. Just eat it. After you finish eating, I will find a way to make more for you."

"What's delicious? Bro, what's delicious?"

"These two greedy little girls become more cheerful when they hear about delicious food..."

For a moment, the laughter of the brothers and sisters echoed throughout the campus...
