The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

These words struck him like a heavy hammer blow.

Zhang Chao's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but roar in his heart.

Where the hell did this come from?

He thought there would be photos or videos of him going to the neighborhood, so he could explain himself.

But why is this screenshot being used directly for money transfer?!

Whose parent is this?

Seeing Zhang Chao remain silent, Secretary Sun asked again, "Teacher Zhang, is the recipient of the transfer in the screenshot you?"

Zhang Chao swallowed hard. "This... let me think... it's not me, I don't know him."

Secretary Sun: "The name on this is yours."

Zhang Chao: "That's an imposter."

Secretary Sun pushed over a few more photocopies, "What about these?"

Zhang Chao's hands trembled slightly. "I don't know..."

Secretary Sun: "Teacher Zhang, you should know that there are ways to find out real-name information, but if it comes to that..."

Zhang Chao: "Wait...wait a minute, let me think..."

Secretary Sun: "No rush, take your time to think about it."

After waiting for almost a minute, Zhang Chao finally spoke in a very low voice: "It seems to be mine..."

Secretary Sun: Are you sure?

Zhang Chao: "...Confirmed."

Secretary Sun nodded. "The note says 'tutoring fee.' Can you explain the purpose of this money?"

Zhang Chao was still struggling with the issue, saying, "This was money I paid for the students before, and the parents reimbursed me later."

Secretary Sun: "Paid out? Every parent paid out? And the notes say it's for tutoring fees, how do you explain that?"

The room was deathly silent. Zhang Chao remained silent, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He could even clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Secretary Sun continued, "What kind of expenses are you covering 500 yuan at a time? And so many times?"

Zhang Chao remained silent.

Seeing this, Secretary Sun nodded to Wu Qingyuan.

Wu Qingyuan nodded in response, "Professor Zhang, please listen to this recording. The sound has been altered to protect privacy, but of course, you can listen to the original if you wish."

Zhang Chao looked up in disbelief. There was a recording?

Recording was started, and the processed voices of the parents echoed in the conference room.

Zhang Chaoyue's face grew paler as she listened, and she cursed inwardly.

Which parent could say such a thing? If you want a refund, just come to me directly!

Clearly, Zhang Chao has used the recording as a means for the parents to get their money back.

The recording ended shortly afterward.

Zhang Chao suddenly felt that the room was very hot, and his back was covered in sweat, his short-sleeved shirt was soaked.

Secretary Sun calmly began, "Teacher Zhang, you initially said you hadn't been to Jinhua Residential Area, then later said you had; you claimed the transfer screenshot wasn't from you, then changed your story and said it was yours; now that you've listened to the recording, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Chao swallowed hard, his mind working several times faster than usual.

Think about it, think about it quickly!

What excuse can be used to get away with this?

But after thinking it over, Zhang Chao's heart gradually cooled; there was absolutely nothing to it!

The tutoring location, tutoring fee, and tutoring recordings are all the evidence.

No wonder it wasn't Director Miao who came to talk to us today, but someone else; no wonder they acted like that; no wonder we had such bad luck today; no wonder...

Seeing Zhang Chao's expression, Secretary Sun knew he had won him over and now was the time to launch a full-scale attack and take him down.

"Teacher Zhang, we've given you many chances since you came in. I suggest you seriously consider this. If you explain the situation clearly now, the school will still consider that you are cooperating voluntarily."

If you deny it again, we can only draw conclusions based on the existing materials, compile them, and submit a report. At that point, the nature of the situation will be completely different, and the people talking to you will no longer be the three of us.

"You have the opportunity to explain yourself; this is a right given to you by the procedure."

Think it through before you answer.

Secretary Sun's voice was neither warm nor cold, revealing no emotion, but every word struck Zhang Chao's heart like a small hammer.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Zhang Chao's heart was pounding; he couldn't hide it any longer, and he was calculating how much to say.

How much does the school know? How many students does it know he has admitted? Which parents have spoken out?

Tell the whole story or hide some of it?

Zhang Chao was caught in an extreme dilemma, unaware of how much time had passed.

A few minutes, half an hour, or even longer...

Secretary Sun didn't urge him, but waited quietly. The office director also took the opportunity to put down his pen and gently twist his wrist.

a moment.

"I...I admit it," Zhang Chao said with difficulty. "I was tutoring students on weekends."

Upon hearing this, he suddenly lost all strength and had to brace himself against the table to regain his balance.

"This is my first time! Secretary Sun, my first time."

"The parents approached me first; I didn't take the initiative. I only agreed because I felt embarrassed."

"I'm doing this for the students' own good, to help them improve their grades!"

"I initially refused, but they kept approaching me, they kept offering it to me..."

Zhang Chao rambled on and on, his words becoming increasingly incoherent.

Secretary Sun's face darkened. "You agree to everything when parents come to you? What if all the parents begged you? Would you make the whole class take extra lessons?"

Zhang Chao murmured, "No, that's different..."

"What's the difference! Is it the money you're collecting that's different, or the violation of regulations that's different? You signed a commitment letter, didn't you know this was a violation?" Secretary Sun said in a deep voice.

There was something he didn't say, but the occasion didn't allow it.

Did they actually improve students' grades?!

Zhang Chao lowered his head, his arms were tucked together, and his body was hunched over.

Secretary Sun's expression returned to calm, and he did not show any joy at Zhang Chao's admission.

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, since you've admitted it, let's clarify things. I'll ask you again, and you'll answer truthfully and completely at once. I'll only ask once, otherwise if more evidence is found later, the nature of the matter will be different. Do you understand?"

Zhang Chao nodded silently.

Secretary Sun: "When did it start?"

Zhang Chao: "This year, October 11th."

Secretary Sun: "Which students participated in the tutoring sessions? Do you have a list?"

Zhang Chao: "Yes, they're all from our class..."

Secretary Sun: "When are the make-up classes held each week? How long does each session last? How many sessions have been held in total?"

Zhang Chao: "Every week, Saturday and Sunday, one hour each time, twice a day..."

...

Secretary Sun: "Did anyone else in the school know about this? Were there any other teachers involved, who introduced it, or who acquiesced to it?"

Zhang Chao fell silent again at this moment. The panic of being discovered to be taking extra classes and the fear of the future amplified the evil in his heart.

"Lu Qian..."

"What?" The voice was very low, and Secretary Sun did not hear it.

Zhang Chao looked up, forcing a grotesque smile. "Lu Qian is tutoring students during evening self-study sessions. Director Pan tacitly approves, saying it's free. But who knows the truth behind the scenes?"

"Are there really teachers who offer free tutoring?"

Do you believe it? Do you believe it?

"hehe."
