Chapter 1262 - 807: I'm Not Here to Debate

I'm going to die, this time I'm really going to die!

Song Zhiyuan's eyes became dazed.

A wild girl from the village, how could she be Du Heng's niece?

Who is Du Heng?

Is it necessary to be so afraid?

If someone asked Song Zhiyuan this question now, Song Zhiyuan would definitely shout at them, "Yes, definitely yes."

To someone not working at the school, Du Heng is just a teacher, maybe now just appreciated by the school's big shots.

But as part of the school, Song Zhiyuan dared not think like that.

First, let's talk about the issue of professional titles.

In the eyes of outsiders, university teachers' professional titles are evaluated based on strength, seniority, and business ability. But every time the evaluation comes around, when you see what happens behind the scenes, you'll understand what human nature is.

Sucking up, treating to meals, encroaching on students' and colleagues' achievements, of course, these are considered peaceful methods.

But where there are peaceful methods, there will naturally be violent methods, complaints, accusations, writing letters of denunciation, spreading rumors secretly, inciting students to oppose, and even occasionally shouting curses at each other face-to-face, pulling hair or even mouths.

For that professional title quota, frankly, except for a very few teachers, everyone else will go all out for it in the university campus.

But this won't happen with Du Heng.

Because the school directly stated that Du Heng would be directly promoted to professor, allowing no dissent. If there is, please go to the principal and secretary, who will personally answer your questions.

This means, unless you are the biological son of the principal and secretary now and can compete with Du Heng for quotas, otherwise, even if you are the father of the department director, you have to step aside.

In addition, Du Heng will participate in next year's academician election, which is already an open secret in the school. And recently, Du Heng's status has changed significantly, beginning to enter the upper echelon, it is heard that he has already established a foothold on his first attempt.

Is a small-time school counselor capable of clashing head-on with such a person?

I'm afraid the current Du Heng, even if the school leaders want to confront him, they have to think twice.

Besides, he is running for the position of academician, and what is an academician?

An academician is not just an honorary title, but a symbol of status and strength, a mountain of resources and funds.

Maybe everyone has academicians, so it doesn't seem all that different.

But without an academician in charge, you're second-rate, not even in the league.

A school, a hospital, the top leaders may rotate, but academicians do not.

If there's no extremely significant, seriously terrible matter in this lifetime, an academician will basically be welded to one place.

Moreover, if an academician is a bit stronger and has stronger business ability, they could even decide the position of the top leader and determine if this person is suitable.

Under such circumstances, who in a school is the last you want to provoke?

An academician definitely ranks at the top.

Even if Du Heng isn't an academician yet, he's just in his thirties but already a candidate, his status in the school is much higher than mine.

"Mr. Du, I..." Song Zhiyuan stammered for half a day, but couldn't finish his sentence.

And he could only look helplessly at Director Zhao, "Director Zhao, this... this..."

With chaotic thoughts, talking incoherently.

Meanwhile, Director Zhao hadn't figured out what to say, and Du Heng wasn't planning to say anything either.

He was here to solve a problem, not to have a debate competition.

The most important thing is, involving Du Xuejing, he wasn't in the mood to quibble with anyone.

"Knock knock knock"

"Little Uncle... Mr. Song."

Just as everyone was silent, Du Xuejing led a few of her dorm mates and a few other students who heard the news, a group of about ten, to block the entrance of the Office of Academic Affairs.

When Du Heng saw Du Xuejing, he finally showed a gentle smile and motioned for her to come in.

Upon seeing Du Heng, Du Xuejing couldn't hold back her emotions she'd been suppressing all day and directly started to cry, feeling wronged.

This really broke Du Heng's heart.

This girl, since growing up, apart from being spanked by her mom into crying as a child, he never let this girl cry.

Du Heng tenderly wiped away Du Xuejing's tears, "Good girl, don't cry, Little Uncle is here."

Du Xuejing softly replied with a sobbing "Mhm."

Du Heng couldn't help but turn back and look at Song Zhiyuan, the anger in his eyes was already raging fiercely.

And Song Zhiyuan realized that a gaze that wants to cut someone really can't be hidden.

Du Heng took a deep breath and said to Du Xuejing, "Come, this is Director Zhao from the school's Office of Academic Affairs, haven't met him before, have you?"

"Hello Director Zhao." Du Xuejing wiped her tears and politely greeted him.

Director Zhao forced a smile.

"Alright, explain everything from the beginning again, don't exaggerate, but don't be afraid either, just speak the truth." Du Heng returned to his seat and gestured for Du Xuejing to step forward.

Du Xuejing took a deep breath to calm her emotions, then recounted everything in detail from start to finish.

As Director Zhao listened, his face turned increasingly pale, with even a hint of redness.

The fact that a teacher from his department would do something so disgraceful, and without any skill, was utterly embarrassing for him.

When Du Xuejing finished speaking, Director Zhao glared at Song Zhiyuan before looking kindly at Du Xuejing, "Classmate Du, I understand everything you've said. Don't worry, I will conduct a thorough investigation.

If it is found that Mr. Song indeed did such things, the school will handle it seriously."

Director Zhao had no choice; seeing the looks of Du Xuejing and Song Zhiyuan, and considering the collaboration between that company and the school, he figured Du Xuejing's version was likely true.

However, since Song Zhiyuan was still a teacher at the school, dealing with it directly in front of Du Heng would be quite a loss of face.

There was no choice but to stall until the initial anger subsided, then come up with another solution.

But Director Zhao's idea was overly optimistic.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of girls who came with Du Xuejing rushed in and started to testify on her behalf.

"Director Zhao, I was there that day too, I can testify that Tingting... everything Classmate Du Xuejing said is true."

"Yes, yes, I can testify too, I was there that day, it was the XX Cosmetic Company, they deceived us, saying the materials were destroyed, but in reality, they secretly used the formulas from the materials for their own experiments."

"Director Zhao, Tingting hasn't mentioned everything. The XX Company sent a guy, who has been harassing her daily, and this noon, even tried to trick her into a relationship."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Du Heng felt a sharp pang, so much that his feet started to twitch with discomfort.

The girl who spoke noticed Du Heng's reaction and went on to explain the events of this afternoon, "After we exposed that guy, Mr. Song called out Tingting in the afternoon, and when she came back, she was scared and started crying."

My, this girl isn't ordinary at all, a mere change of wording, and the effect becomes entirely different.

And this girl was not a stranger to Du Heng; he knew her quite well.

Still remembered last year, someone made a confession by the side of the school road, got rejected, and then the pursuer was hit by a car.

And this girl was the one involved in that incident.

Du Heng nodded towards the girls, then turned to Director Zhao with a serious expression, "Director Zhao, shouldn't you give me an explanation on this?"

Director Zhao was extremely uncomfortable, stammering, "Mr. Du, I still need to gather more information on this matter..."

Upon hearing Director Zhao's intent to smooth things over, Du Heng immediately became dissatisfied, "Director Zhao, I'm here for you to handle the issue, not to litigate or call the police.

If Director Zhao finds this matter difficult, alright, I'll go find Principal Wang now, I believe Principal Wang will give me a justified outcome."

Principal Wang?

Wang Pan?

Director Zhao's eyes widened at this, hurriedly saying, "Mr. Du, please don't be angry, this matter requires you to give me some time, doesn't it?"

Du Heng fell into a brief silence, squinting slightly before speaking, "Director Zhao, you're already off work, I'm really sorry for taking up so much of your time.

I've arranged to meet someone tonight, perhaps you'd like to come along for a meal?"

What do you mean?

What do you mean by inviting me for a meal?

But Director Zhao, who had reached his position, was truly an expert among experts, and with a brief consideration, he caught the underlying meaning in Du Heng's words.

Then tentatively asked, "Mr. Du, do you have plans tonight?"

Du Heng looked coldly at Song Zhiyuan for a moment before saying, "Well, our teacher threatened his student, talking about failing grades and expulsion, so I came to you, Director Zhao.

But there's someone threatening my niece, saying they'll throw acid or have a drunkard run her over with a car. These are societal affairs, so I can't trouble you with it, Director Zhao; I can only seek a solution from society."

Director Zhao's eyes twitched, but he remained silent.

Du Heng continued, "You see, just recently I met a big brother, a leader at the Drug Administration in charge of cosmetics.

I was thinking of letting this big brother host and have the boss of the XX Company over for a meal, and I can apologize.

Director Zhao, please join me, and perhaps put in a good word for me, asking this big boss for leniency."

These words turned Song Zhiyuan's face ashen.

Apologize?

Leniency?

The roles seem to have flipped, haven't they?

Director Zhao took a deep breath lightly.

Look, just look at how Du Heng has changed, all because of adding a job, his network has undergone a complete transformation.

But with Du Heng's statement, he knew there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

Yet, he still wanted to make one last effort, to put up a struggle.

Subsequently, Director Zhao once again fixed his gaze on Song Zhiyuan.
