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

Monday was a sunny day.

Director Pan was sweeping the office floor, opening the window for ventilation, and boiling a kettle of water to make tea.

"The weather is nice."

Director Pan smiled and turned the flowers on the windowsill around, then filled a small watering can with water and prepared to water them.

It's getting cold in December, so the flowers need to be taken good care of, just like students.

It filled with water with a gurgling sound.

Director Pan took a small watering can and walked to the window, just about to water the plants, when he suddenly stopped.

Wait a minute!

If he remembered correctly, he encountered some inexplicable things the last few times he watered the flowers.

This time...

Director Pan stared at the kettle in silence for a moment, then poured in a little water and immediately lifted it up.

The phone didn't ring...it seems everything's fine.

Pour a little more... then stop.

Oh, it's nothing!

Director Pan: ...

He felt like a fool; this was clearly a coincidence, how could it happen again?

Water the flowers! Water the flowers!

Tons tons tons—

I had just watered the second pot of flowers when my phone rang.

Director Pan took a deep breath, closed his eyes with a sense of relief, put down the kettle, and took out his phone from his pocket.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the caller ID; it was the principal.

The call was connected.

"Director Pan, bring Zhang Chao's file to my office," Li Chong'an said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Principal, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Director Pan opened the materials he had prepared in advance and looked them over to make sure nothing was missing. Then he turned off the kettle and quickly walked out.

……

Principal's Office.

Li Chong'an wasn't the only one in the room; there were three other men in jackets sitting on the sofa.

The man closest to Li Chong'an had a slight smile on his face and looked somewhat friendly. He had a small recording device on his left shoulder.

The other two looked serious; one was carrying a briefcase, and the other had a camera slung over his shoulder.

An invisible sense of oppression filled the principal's office.

"Team Leader Hua, Zhang Chao's information will arrive soon. I'll notify Zhang Chao to come to the school now," Li Chong'an said.

"OK."

Li Chong'an made the call in person. After the call was connected, he said in a deep voice, "Teacher Zhang Chao, could you please come to the school? There are some things that require your cooperation in the investigation."

Zhang Chao was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chong'an let out a soft breath.

He was still working when three members of the investigation team pushed the door open without knocking and walked in. Before he could even speak, they flashed their ID cards.

"Hello, this is the 'Four No's and Two Directs' investigation team."

At that moment, Li Chong'an had only one thought in his mind: he had come without any warning.

Before they arrived at the principal's office, what did the investigation team look at?

Four no's and two straights.

No notices, no greetings, no reports, and no accompaniment or reception are required;

Go straight to the grassroots and directly to the scene.

He knew the investigation team leader, Hua; they were acquaintances. He had spoken with her about related matters when he submitted the report. Hua's position within the investigation team was deputy team leader.

Time moved forward by ten minutes.

The three group leaders arrived at the school gate, identified themselves, and first checked the registration of visitors and the operation of the surveillance system at the gatehouse.

Next came the campus patrol, inspection of bulletin boards, and inspection of teaching buildings, before finally arriving at the principal's office.

The whole process was very orderly. I made some notes and will check them later.

...

Li Chong'an remained calm and composed; he hadn't committed any crimes and wasn't afraid of being investigated.

"Knock knock knock".

"Please come in."

"Principal, I brought..." Director Pan's voice trailed off as he stared in astonishment at the three people on the sofa before finally speaking, "...Zhang Chao's materials."

Team Leader Hua glanced at Director Pan, then at Li Chong'an.

Li Chong'an stood up and introduced, "Team Leader Hua, this is Pan Hai, the grade director. He was responsible for contacting parents by phone during the school's self-inspection and obtained key evidence of tutoring."

"Director Pan, these three are members of the investigation team, here to verify Zhang Chao's tutoring incident."

Team Leader Hua nodded, stood up, and extended her hand to Director Pan. "Hello, Director Pan, my surname is Hua. I'm here today to verify some information. Sorry to bother you."

Director Pan shook his hand. "Hello, Team Leader Hua. Our school will fully cooperate."

"Since Director Pan is involved in this matter, let's sit down together. He can help me answer some of my questions," Team Leader Hua said.

"no problem."

Director Pan sat down with a smile. The investigation should take quite a while; in the past, the longest investigation has lasted 90 days, but at least it's on the road to a solution.

However… Director Pan touched his right eyelid, and he still felt a strange discomfort.

strangeness.

Team Leader Hua handed the document to her colleague and then said, "Are the three comrades who were responsible for talking to Zhang Chao here? Please call them over as well."

After Li Chong'an and Director Pan nodded, they each began calling for their people.

Not only were Secretary Sun and the other two summoned, but Director Miao, who was in charge of moral education, was also brought over.

After entering, the group was just as surprised as Director Pan, but they quickly expressed their understanding and willingness to cooperate.

The sooner this is resolved, the better.

Since there weren't enough seats in the principal's office, everyone moved to a small conference room to continue their discussion.

All the documents were laid out on the conference table.

Principal Li and the other teachers from Yucai School remained silent as they watched Group Leader Hua and her two colleagues verify the information.

"Director Pan, thank you for coming over here."

"Sigh~"

Director Pan answered the question asked by Team Leader Hua in detail.

After a pause, Team Leader Hua asked a rather peculiar question, "Director Pan, did the parent who provided the evidence have any conflict with Teacher Zhang Chao?"

"this……"

Director Pan was taken aback for a moment; he really hadn't expected the other party to ask such a question. "As far as I know, no. Does Team Leader Hua have any questions?"

Team Leader Hua nodded. "The recording describes how you asked this parent very directly whether they had attended tutoring classes, and the parent answered very readily."

But other parents were all hiding it, which is normal; in the tutoring cases I've investigated, most parents have also been concealing things. This is the first time I've seen a parent directly and comprehensively revealing all the evidence, so I suspect there's a conflict with Teacher Zhang Chao.

Director Pan smirked. "Team Leader Hua, to be honest, this parent's personality is just... just... straightforward, um, straightforward!"

At this point, it's best to carefully consider your wording.

Yes, I'm a civilized person.

"Frank?"

Team Leader Hua recited it once, waiting for Director Pan to continue.

Director Pan organized his thoughts and began, "This matter dates back two months, and it involves another outstanding teacher, Mr. Lu Qian, the pride of our school!"

When he said his last words, Director Pan's face turned rosy.

"When Teacher Lu first started teaching Class 7, he transformed it into a gold medal class in just one month."

"Huh?" Team Leader Hua was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her face for the first time. "Trained a top-performing class in just one month?"
