Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 415 - 414: Find the Director
"Dad, I know." Ge Dongxu finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart, nodded at his father, and said calmly.
"That's good, just now you really scared me." Ge Shengming, seeing his son return to normal, heaved a sigh of relief.
A moment ago, the way his son had behaved had even given him, a father, a feeling of trepidation.
"Dad, I'm sorry for scaring you." Ge Dongxu, aware of his own strength, knew that once he got angry, his presence was indeed very frightening, and he couldn't help but say with a sense of guilt.
"Enough, you are my son, what is there to be sorry for? I know you are capable, I'm just worried about you doing something foolish. Your mom losing her job is not the end of the world, especially since our family isn't lacking money now," Ge Shengming said.
"As long as I am here, mom's job won't be lost. What I am worried about now is that, even if the situation is resolved, the harm has already been done to mom, and I guess it will take a long time for her to feel happy again," Ge Dongxu said with a bitter smile.
"You do understand your mom. She didn't let me call you before, saying that as soon as I did, you would definitely ask Director Zuo to help speak on her behalf, and even if her issue was resolved afterward, she would still feel a thorn in her heart," Ge Shengming said, following with a bitter smile.
"This situation was completely out of line, why should I ask Director Zuo to intervene if not to save face for them? The county education bureau must give an explanation, not just to me but to mom. If they can't, then the director of the county education bureau and the like should all be dismissed. If they can't even treat a teacher like mom properly, what are they doing in those positions?" Ge Dongxu said coldly.
"Look, you see, didn't you say you understood? Why are you being stubborn again, talking nonsense? Is the director of the county education bureau someone you can control?" Ge Shengming said, shaking his head continuously at Ge Dongxu.
"Dad, don't worry. As a high school student, I've created such a big enterprise; I have a clear understanding of these matters. Where is mom now? Did she go to the third elementary school in town, or has she gone to the county?" Ge Dongxu, grasping his father's hand and patting it, said.
At this, Ge Shengming was taken aback, looked at his son for a long time, then shook his head with a bitter smile: "I seem to have forgotten that you are now a big shot worth billions. You know better than dad in this matter, so I'll stop worrying needlessly. Regarding the third elementary school in town, your mom went there yesterday, but it was no use, so this morning she took a stack of credentials and awards to the county education bureau. I wanted to go with her, but she refused, as you know your mom's temperament."
"Then I will go to the county education bureau right now. Those guys are shameless enough to do such things, and mom might face a lot of grievances this time!" Ge Dongxu said.
"I'll drive you there," Ge Shengming said urgently.
"Okay," Ge Dongxu nodded, but before getting in the car, he grabbed the keys from his father's hand and said, "I'll drive."
"Are you sure? I'm more familiar with this road," Ge Shengming said, a bit worried.
"Don't worry, Dad. If I were to race cars, other drivers would only be competing for second place," Ge Dongxu said.
Ge Shengming initially wanted to say his son was exaggerating, but remembering that his son was no ordinary person, he swallowed his words.
Once the car was on the winding mountain road, Ge Shengming immediately believed his son's words.
On the winding and somewhat bumpy mountain road, which always jolted him when he drove, the road seemed to turn into a smooth highway in his son's hands, and he barely felt the bumps while sitting in the passenger seat.
The car sped all the way, and what was usually an hour's drive, Ge Dongxu managed to reach the county town in about half an hour.
Upon arriving in the county town, Ge Dongxu, although unfamiliar with the location of the Changxi County Education Bureau building, did not need to ask for directions because the bracelet his mother carried, which contained a drop of his Lifebound Essence Blood, allowed him to sense her location easily. He then drove straight to her.
...
At the entrance of the Changxi County Education Bureau building, Xu Suya took a deep breath and then strode into the building.

The guard just happened to have stepped away temporarily, so no one stopped her.
Unfamiliar with the ways of the bureaucracy and being her first time at the education bureau building, Xu Suya did not know whom to approach given her situation. Thinking it over, she decided that since the director handled everything, she might as well look for him directly.
The Education Bureau was not as strict as the Public Security Bureau in its management of visitors, showing little vigilance. Not only did the guard not take guarding seriously, but the staff inside also did not make much of seeing a stranger milling about.
Xu Suya, carrying her bag, searched each floor until she quickly found the director's office on the third floor, and then she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" a middle-aged man's voice called from inside.
Xu Suya opened the door and saw a man in his early fifties with a somewhat bald head and a slightly corpulent figure, who was sitting behind a large desk, drinking tea and reading a newspaper.
Although it was Xu Suya's first visit to the Education Bureau building, as a public school teacher she knew that the director's last name was Cai, and having seen his photo before, she immediately greeted him softly, "Director Cai, hello."
"Who are you?" Director Cai, naturally not recognizing Xu Suya and seeing a strange woman suddenly appear, furrowed his brows slightly and asked.
"I am a teacher from the Ge Family Village Primary School in Baiyun Town; my name is Xu Suya. I am here because there are some matters I wish to discuss with Director Cai," Xu Suya said.
Hearing this, Director Cai's frown deepened, a hint of impatience flickering in his eyes, but he still barely asked, "Hmm, what is it?"
"Here are my educational credentials, teacher's certificate, and the awards and certificates recognizing me as an outstanding rural teacher over the past few years. I want to ask, despite being recognized as an outstanding rural teacher for many years by the bureau and the town, why is it that for the newly established Third Primary School in Baiyun Town, someone who has taught only a few days and only has a junior high school education gets a position as a substitute teacher, yet I don't even get a position?" Xu Suya first laid out her documents on the large desk, then asked seriously.
Upon seeing a rural teacher come to his office to question him, Director Cai's expression grew stern, and he said, "I'm very busy, you should speak with Chief Chen from the personnel department about this matter."
Xu Suya was stunned for a moment, her face showing a trace of anger, and she said, "You have time to drink tea and read the newspaper, but you don't have time to deal with a teacher's employment issue? Is handling a teacher's employment lesser in importance than your tea and newspaper?"
Although Director Cai was just the head of the Changxi County Education Bureau, merely a mid-level government official, he oversaw thousands of teachers, and in Changxi County, he was definitely considered a powerful figure.
In Changxi County, which teacher would not be respectful and polite upon meeting him, the head of the Education Bureau? No one had ever dared to confront or rebuke him to his face, let alone a rural contracted teacher without an official position.
Suddenly, Director Cai's face changed, and he slammed the newspaper onto the table with a "smack," pointing at the office door and saying, "What is this attitude? Do you know where you are? Is this a place where you can shout? Get out at once!"
"I'm not leaving unless the Education Bureau can give me a reason why I can't even get a position as a substitute teacher," Xu Suya, stubborn by nature, replied, rather than becoming frightened and leaving hastily. Instead, she stiffened her neck and glared back at Director Cai.
