On the way.
Inside the taxi.
As the driver drove, he glanced at Dong Xuebin in the rearview mirror speechlessly, thinking to himself, if you can't walk well on your own, why should you use a wheelchair
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Uh, um, nothing."
"… oh."
"By the way, where should we go to Fenzhou City?"
"Go over first, I have to make a call and ask."
"Okay, then ask quickly, the distance isn't that far."
Dong Xuebin called Xie Huilan again. Dudududu, the call came through this time.
"Hello."
"Huilan, me."
"I know it is you."
"We were in a meeting just now? Why didn't you answer the call?"
"Well, we held an impromptu meeting."
For Xie Huilan, the deputy mayor who has become a member of the Standing Committee, there are many types of conferences, such as the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, meetings in the province, such as the National People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference. However, when it comes to small meetings in the agency, it is usually the leaders. A meeting for the departments in charge below.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Xiaohui still won't answer my call?"
"It's urgent, something happened here." Xie Huilan seemed to be outside, and there was someone talking over there, but he couldn't hear clearly. "Do you have a problem with me?"
Dong Xuebin knew that it was not convenient for her to speak. "What happened?"
"On the other side of the education system."
"Are you in charge of this? Is it a big deal?"
"It's okay, let's wait until I finish processing it."
"Okay, you go about your business first."
"Well, hang up first. Let's talk in the afternoon."
Then I heard someone on the other side shout urgently, "Mayor Xie, we can't stop you over there." The phone hung up.
The driver looked at him "Where are you going?"
Dong Xuebin said thoughtfully: "You can open it first."
"How can I drive if you don't tell me where to go?" the driver said helplessly.
Dong Xuebin glanced at him and said, "Master, did something happen over there in Fenzhou City?" Hearing Xie Huilan's tone, he felt that the matter was not a big deal.
The driver thought for a moment. "An accident? There are so many places in the city, and something will happen someday. What kind of thing are you talking about?"
"The education system."
"Education? School?"
"Absolutely. I just got off the plane and didn't watch much news."
The driver thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered it. There was indeed some negative news last night, saying that Fenzhou City seemed to be the No. 4 Middle School or the No. 3 Middle School, and there were several cases of corporal punishment by teachers in the school. It seems that something happened about the students. A teacher named Zhang slapped the students several times. I heard that he slapped the students more than once. Many students were scolded and beaten by him. Last night, it was exposed by the media. Many students The parents of the students who were beaten are no longer involved. Some parents are also making noises and are clamoring for explanations and compensation.”
Dong Xuebin frowned, "Such a big thing?"
The driver said: "It's not that big actually. It's said that only two or three students were slapped. But there may have been some people making a fuss inside, and the result was that they couldn't control it."
Well, it's not a big deal.
But the impact is really bad.
No wonder Huilan was in a hurry to deal with it.
Dong Xuebin thought about it for a while and couldn't help but said: "Master, is it the fourth middle school or the third middle school? The third middle school is in the suburbs, right? The fourth middle school is in the city."
"Oh yes, that's No. 4 Middle School."
"Then let's go to No. 4 Middle School. It's troublesome."
The driver was stunned, "What are you doing there?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Take a look and go there."
The driver said to himself that this young man really likes to watch the fun. I don’t know what the fuss is about over there. You are injured all over, with gauze on your face and plaster on your hands. If you were pushed and touched, then you Who can I talk to to reason with you? If this is the case, just go to the hospital and rest as soon as possible, and join in the fun!
But the passenger asked, and the driver didn't say anything and drove straight over there.
…
Afternoon.
Not at all.
The taxi entered Fenzhou City and drove to a street near No. 4 Middle School.
You can already see the school gate in front, but the gate is densely packed with parents of students, about forty or fifty people.
"We can't drive in." The driver also stretched his neck and looked around.
Dong Xuebin said: "It's okay, just stop here."
The driver kindly reminded: "Please be careful and don't get too close."
Dong Xuebin paid the bill, "Thank you. By the way, I won't take the wheelchair. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, just donate it to me."
"Well… "
"Drive slowly and have a nice trip."
Dong Xuebin took his luggage and got out of the car without waiting for him to say anything.
As soon as the taxi left, Dong Xuebin limped over with his handbag in hand. He didn't dare to fully recover from the injury to his left foot, so it was still inconvenient to walk. But even so, Dong Xuebin was content, as long as he could walk. , otherwise it would be really awkward to hold a wheelchair.
The entrance to No. 4 Middle School was full of people shouting.
There were men and women, middle-aged people and old people, and everyone looked very excited.
Looking at so many people, Dong Xuebin's expression was not very good. What they feared most as cadres were a few things - one of which was **.
Fifty parents
It will really be troublesome if it is not handled well!
Dong Xuebin walked over and stood on the periphery with many people watching the excitement, listening quietly, wanting to understand the situation here first. The school's door was tightly closed, leaving only a small door. Two school security guards blocked it. Inside, Dong Xuebin also saw a few acquaintances. Among them was Liao Yimin, the director of the Education Bureau—he was Huilan's first official. Tianjiu went to Xiang Huilan, a cadre, and a deputy director of the Education Bureau. The other older one should be the principal of No. 4 Middle School, and there should also be teachers from No. 4 Middle School.
Liao Yimin shouted: "Everyone, calm down!"
Later, the principal of No. 4 Middle School also said: "Students are still in class! Your behavior will affect the students' studies!"
"calm?"
"The children have been beaten! How can we calm down!"
"Call your city leaders over! Give us an explanation!"
"What kind of school are you at? Huh? It's so bullying!"
"Yes! We must seek an explanation today! Pay compensation! We won't leave until we pay!"
"We sent our children here to study! We didn't ask your teachers to beat them!"
"I just saw the deputy mayor's car entering! Call Deputy Mayor Xie out! We will only talk to the city leaders! We must give us a solution today!"
"Otherwise it won't be over!"
"Yes! It's definitely not over!"
The crowd was excited and everyone was chirping and shouting.
Some parents with poor quality even scolded people. He pointed at the leaders of the Education Bureau and the school leaders inside and yelled curses, and some of his words even scolded Xie Huilan, who was in charge of the education department.
Dong Xuebin narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
The people watching the excitement couldn't help but shake their heads.
"These people."
"The family of the student who was beaten heard that the school leaders had negotiated with them privately last night to resolve the matter. They should pay compensation. You see, none of the parties involved came today. The problems have been solved. Those who came are irrelevant. I don’t know who took the lead.”
"Huh? Are they all parents who have nothing to do with each other?"
"Then what are they doing here?"
"Can't you tell? You're just making noise and asking for money."
"Well, I'll take advantage of this to get compensation."
"You just want money? Then isn't this causing trouble?"
"Who let the TV station expose it? These people are smart and know that the city does not want to make the matter a big deal, so they came to help."
"Now. Everything is about money."
Dong Xuebin understood. It turned out that there were no family members of the students who were beaten among these people. They were just the parents of the students in this school, and they wanted to use this incident to cause trouble.
"Call Mayor Xie out!"
"Yes! Where is Mayor Xie? Where is he?"
"Come out and give us a compensation plan!"
After seeing no movement for a long time, the parents of the students shouted again.
At this time, an alluring woman in a black suit walked out of the teaching building. She was obviously pregnant, with a bulging belly, at least five months old - it was Xie Huilan. Several city government staff followed her and also walked towards the school gate.
"Thank you, mayor."
"Thank you, mayor."
The school leaders rushed to greet him.
Liao Yimin said: "We have been talking for a long time. It still doesn't make sense."
Xie Huilan hummed slightly, "Let me tell you, let's go."
Liao Yimin hurriedly said: "Don't go out, just stay here. It's a bit messy over there. Your health..."
"I'm fine." Xie Huilan walked over gracefully, looked at the parents of students outside, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Xie Huilan."
"Thank you, Mayor! Can you give me an explanation?" someone shouted.
Xie Huilan nodded, "Yes, the suspected teacher has been suspended. The relevant departments are investigating, and as soon as the results come out, we will give an explanation to the public."
A woman shouted: "Is that the explanation?"
Xie Huilan said: "As long as anyone is involved in this matter, whether it is a school leader or other teachers or staff, we will severely punish them!"
"Severe punishment won't do!"
"Yes! Who will pay for our losses?"
"Stop saying anything! Pay compensation!"
Xie Huilan said indifferently: "Compensation for mental losses is also acceptable, but you need to provide evidence that your children were beaten at school. However, according to our preliminary investigation, there are only two injured students. We have also negotiated with their parents. The solution has been decided.”
"Is it enough to negotiate with them?"
"What about us? Who will take care of us?"
"Let me tell you! That teacher named Zhang also scolded my child!"
"Even if my child is not beaten! The school must also bear the responsibility! This has had a great negative impact on our child! She doesn't like to talk when she comes home now!"
"My child is too! He's very autistic recently!"
"My child is the same! I'm going to let him transfer to another school! What a shabby school!"
"This matter is not over yet! If we don't compensate our children for their mental damages! We will still have to pay for it with you!"
Seeing that the city leaders had also arrived, the parents of the students immediately became even more excited. They kept talking for a long time with one thing in mind - asking for money!
