Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 82: I Trust My Students

Ma Weiwei felt frustrated and gave Zhang Qi a look, Zhang Qi immediately grinned and said, "Reporting, Director, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Bathroom during class? What were you doing just now?" Wang Li walked quickly in her heeled leather shoes, making a click-clack sound.

"Hehehe, I guess I was too engrossed in the gossip and forgot," Zhang Qi waved his phone with a screenshot in front of Wang Li.

Ma Weiwei timely said, "Director, I report! This person is spreading rumors on the school forum, we demand he apologizes to Sister You and Sister Ning!"

Wang Li also just learned about the incident and rushed over, but she was not here to defend Class 8, rather to question them.

"The school forum was down for 2 minutes, which one of you did it? Don’t you know this is illegal?"

The Class 8 students already knew Wang Li didn’t like them, but they didn’t expect her to be so biased, blaming them without even asking.

The smiles of the usually cheeky crowd vanished instantly, their eyes filled with anger, Ma Weiwei shouted angrily, "What makes you say it’s us?"

Seeing her anger, Wang Li thought she was guilty and sneered, "Deny it, huh? Fine! All of you, call your parents!"

"You..."

"Director Wang, this has nothing to do with them, how can you just call in parents? Moreover, our class’s You Le and Ji Ning are also victims, shouldn’t you deal with this first?"

Li Jingjing parted her students, stepped forward to argue, but Wang Li stubbornly insisted, "I don’t think anything is more important than hacking into the school’s network to cause chaos."

"Director Wang, it might just be a program bug in the campus network."

"Such a convenient coincidence, do you believe it yourself?"

"I believe it! I believe in my students." Li Jingjing said firmly.

Wang Li pointed at her angrily, "Fine, I’ll go to the information center right now, I want to see if it’s a computer bug. If it’s not, you resign!"

The argument was loud, the students in Class 8 could hear it clearly, even Ji Ning in the classroom heard it.

Bai Xiaotang looked worried, "Sister Ning, will everything be alright?"

She saw that not long after Ji Ning sent a message, the school network went down, she was afraid of the truth coming out and causing Li Jingjing to resign.

"It’s fine."

In the corridor, the two were facing off when suddenly Wang Li’s phone rang, she glanced at the screen, it was the information center calling.

She sneered, "Teacher Li, the information center is calling, let’s hear what the reason is?"

After saying that, she answered the call and put it on speaker.

"Director Wang, I’m sorry, I just found out the campus network error was program-related, not a hacker attack..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Li’s face darkened, she hung up the phone without letting it finish, then turned and left.

Ma Weiwei wanted to stop her but was held back by Li Jingjing, discontentedly yelling back, "She hasn’t dealt with Sister You’s matter yet."

"It will be dealt with, Director Wang usually loves to talk about fairness and justice."

Li Jingjing deliberately raised her voice, causing Wang Li to leave even faster.

On the other side, the information center.

Director Zhao looked grateful to Ying Huang, "Teacher Ying, thanks to you for your help. Otherwise, my time as a director would have ended. I didn’t expect you to be so good with computers. Do you want to work at the information center?"

Ying Huang stood up, stepped aside from the chair, "All colleagues here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to class."

After briefly speaking, Ying Huang picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and left the information center directly, the teacher next to her sighed looking at her back, "Teacher Ying seems quite enthusiastic."

"Just not very talkative."

...

After leaving the information center, Ying Huang took out her phone from her pocket and replied to a message.

[Solved, when are we treating the injury?]

A quick reply came from the other side:

[Find a quiet place to talk.]

***

The Class 8 students kept an eye on the campus forum incident, until noon after class, Li Jingjing called Ji Ning and You Le to Wang Li’s office.

Ma Weiwei gestured a victory sign at the two and teased loudly, "Looking forward to Sister You and Sister Ning coming back victorious!"

You Le felt embarrassed and gave her a sideways glance.

Wang Li’s office was in the south building of the teaching building, while the normal class classrooms were mostly in the north building, requiring crossing the corridor built between the two buildings.

It was noon, most of the students were heading to the cafeteria, and the corridor was almost empty.

Li Jingjing hesitated, stopping her steps, and advised the two, "When you get to the office, if the result isn’t as expected, the teacher hopes you don’t have a conflict with Director Wang."

"What do you mean?" You Le asked.

"You have to believe the school’s handling of matters is fair and just, but to protect each one of you, the school’s approach might seem biased to you." Li Jingjing responded after deliberation.

You Le immediately understood the deep meaning behind Li Jingjing’s words, her gaze slightly darkened as she looked at the road ahead.

The sudden quietness filled Li Jingjing’s heart with guilt.

But this outcome was also something she fought hard to achieve.

The three of them silently reached Wang Li’s office.

Li Jingjing knocked on the door, heard a voice from inside saying "Come in," then pushed the door open.

Besides Li Jingjing, there were two other people inside, one was the class teacher of Class 1, the other was a relatively unknown male student.

The male student wore black-framed glasses, had a watermelon hairstyle, held a book in his hand, and looked very gentle.

He was not scared when he saw them, instead, his eyes shone with curiosity, looking like he was enjoying the drama.

This irritated You Le, who coldly glared at him.

Ji Ning, however, looked at him a few times.

Wang Li glared at the Class 1 teacher and said sternly, "The main person involved is here, speak up!"

The Class 1 teacher looked at the male student, "Chen Yantao, go apologize! Don’t post baseless posts again, got it?"

Chen Yantao, looking excited, walked a few steps forward to You Le and bowed 90 degrees, "I’m sorry, I won’t post baseless posts again." Then he looked at Ji Ning, his eyes shining, and said, "Boss, can I invite you to lunch to express my apology?"

As soon as he said this, everyone except Ji Ning was surprised, Wang Li frowned and interrupted, "Alright, apologies have been made, let me first state the school’s decision. Chen Yantao, for publishing inappropriate remarks on the campus network, causing damage to a classmate’s reputation, is given a warning and apologizes in person. A 3000-word reflection must also be submitted to the school."

This punishment was quite light, no wonder Li Jingjing spoke to them in advance.

You Le was dissatisfied, but seeing Ji Ning had no objections, she held back.

"Do you have any objections to this punishment?" Wang Li asked.

You Le pursed her lips without speaking, and Ji Ning asked, "Isn’t the reflection to be posted on the campus network?"

Before Wang Li could answer, the Class 1 teacher anxiously intervened, "There’s no need for that, right? It’s all a misunderstanding, no need to make it a big issue."

Ji Ning glanced at him, took out her phone, and calmly said, "What’s the hurry? I’ll post an anonymous message on the campus network right now, saying that teacher, you’re suggesting students give gifts in private. How about that?"

As she spoke, Ji Ning took a photo of the Class 1 teacher with her phone and even showed it to him.

Due to the angle, the photo happened to capture the tea box placed by Wang Li on the table near his hand.

"This is slander. Director Wang, I have never accepted any gifts from students." The Class 1 teacher panicked and quickly looked at Wang Li, afraid she would believe it.

Ji Ning put the phone back, looked down at the screen, and continued, "Why panic? After posting, I’ll write a 3000-word reflection, submit it to the school, and apologize to you."
