Bing Tianyi didn't want to make a big deal out of this situation. After all, Gao Pengjun was his teacher, and as a Chinese person, respecting one's teacher is essential. Moreover, in this era where securing a job is so difficult, escalating the matter to the Education Bureau would likely result in Gao Pengjun losing his position.
His original intention was simply to make Gao Pengjun aware of his mistakes so that he could continue teaching them properly in the future.
"Alright, everyone, let's not be angry anymore. Teacher Gao probably said those things out of frustration. We should try to understand him. How about we set aside our feelings towards Teacher Gao for now and go to the Disciplinary Office to discuss this?" Wang Bing suppressed his inner anger and quietly asked his classmates.
Seeing the teachers approaching, the students felt uncertain. With Wang Bing saying this, they were reluctant to continue opposing.
As a student, Bing Tianyi understood his classmates' thoughts. After some consideration, he whispered to them, "Okay, let's put Teacher Gao aside for now. Also, Wang Ziyan, Huang Ke, Li Yuxin, Ouyang Xue, Maping, and Pang Yu, can you all stay behind with me to resolve this issue at the Disciplinary Office? Are you willing or not?"
The mentioned students nodded in agreement.
Wang Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in approval, and said as he turned around, "Alright, let's go."
Upon arriving at the Disciplinary Office, several students stood on the floor of the two large rooms. Many teachers had gathered inside and were whispering about the situation.
"Teacher Gao, could you explain what happened?" Wang Bing asked with a frown.
At that moment, Gao Pengjun was unsure whether he should answer truthfully. He knew that if he recounted what happened in class as it was, he might get implicated and possibly face disciplinary action from the school.
However, if he fabricated some lies, while the teachers might believe him, there was no telling how Bing Tianyi's group of students would twist his words.
After pondering for a long time, Gao Pengjun turned around and wiped the blood from his nose. He then directed his gaze straight at Bing Tianyi.
"This all started because of him. I was planning to have the students work on problems and then explain them when he began provoking me midway through class. In the end, he led the entire class to gang up on me. Director Wang, if the school does not handle this matter fairly, I will resign immediately," Gao Pengjun stated firmly while looking at Wang Bing.
At that moment, Li Yuxin stepped forward and smiled at Gao Pengjun. "Teacher Gao, could you share more details about what happened?"
Hearing Li Yuxin say this took Gao Pengjun by surprise. He then replied, "I would like to hear what you consider 'details.' Did I do something wrong by punishing a student in class?"
"Then why are you not punishing us for making the same mistake, but instead are only attacking these few students?" Wang Ziyan continued to ask.
Gao Pengjun was at a loss for words, stammering for a moment before saying, "Director Wang, as you can see, I cannot stay at this school any longer. I am going to write my resignation letter right now; I must resign."
Upon hearing this, Wang Bing turned to look at the surrounding teachers who were whispering among themselves. After a few seconds, he spoke with some displeasure, "Alright, other teachers, please step outside for now."
The group of teachers turned and left the Disciplinary Office.
Once the spacious room was left with only the students and the two teachers, Wang Bing said earnestly, "Teacher Gao, you have been teaching at this school for so many years. You should know how to handle the relationship between teachers and students. What puzzles me the most is that the graduates from other teachers come back to visit them after they start working. But what about you? Do any of your students come to see you?"
"Director Wang, what do you mean by that? Are you ignoring my teaching achievements?" Gao Pengjun argued back.
"This isn't about teaching achievements. In our school, grades are not the only standard for measuring a student's ability. We emphasize all-around development. As someone once said, a student who does poorly in math may excel in language arts. If we can provide them with a platform for learning, they might become writers after graduation. But what about you? Have you given these students any opportunities?" Director Wang continued to ask.
Hearing Director Wang's words made Bing Tianyi and others feel much better. If every teacher could think like Director Wang, how great would that be?
However, Gao Pengjun felt that this was a blatant criticism of him. As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, Gao Pengjun retorted, "Director Wang, is this your way of handling things? Students assaulting teachers and you criticize me? Do you think that's right?"
Director Wang sighed helplessly and lowered his head in silence. After a moment, he raised his head and said to Gao Pengjun, "Teacher Gao, this is not criticism. If it were criticism, I wouldn't have asked all the other teachers to leave. We are having a conversation; can we sit down calmly and talk in front of your students?"
"If that's the case, then I will resign," Gao Pengjun said as he turned to look out the window.
Wang Bing was utterly speechless; his leniency towards this teacher had clearly led him to become somewhat arrogant.
"Fine then, go ahead and write your resignation letter now. Also, starting today, I will have other teachers replace you for the math classes you teach." After saying this, Wang Bing stood up and walked to the door of the Disciplinary Office, loudly calling out, "Teacher Chen Hua, please go to the administration office and inform the school leaders that there will be a meeting this afternoon."
After hearing someone respond from outside, Wang Bing returned inside and said directly to Bing Tianyi and others, "Alright, you all go to class now and wait for the school's decision."
Standing at the back of the office room, Bing Tianyi looked over at Gao Pengjun upon hearing this. At that moment, the small man had a pale face, trembling lips, and his eyes were dim and lifeless.
Meanwhile, Wang Ziyan and others had already started walking out of the office. Although Bing Tianyi still wanted to say something, he found it hard to speak. Helpless, he could only follow his classmates and hurriedly go upstairs.
The classroom was particularly quiet at this moment. The homeroom teacher, Wan Ying, sat at the podium, engrossed in grading students' assignments.
With a report from Maping, Wan Ying raised her head and glanced over. After a few students entered the room, Wan Ying stood up and said directly to Bing Tianyi, "Come out for a moment."
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement and followed Wan Ying out.
Standing in the empty hallway, Wan Ying stopped and looked at the beautiful campus. She quietly asked, "Do you really think it's a good thing that Teacher Gao has left?"
"Teacher, I never intended for things to escalate this far, nor did I think it would lead to Teacher Gao resigning," Bing Tianyi replied earnestly.
"Teacher Gao resigned?" Wan Ying turned her head, her expression calm but with a hint of curiosity as she looked at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi nodded and continued, "Yes, he submitted his resignation himself."
"Sigh... I told you long ago that Teacher Gao is your substitute teacher. Now that things have come to this point, I really don't know what will happen next," Wan Ying said seriously.
Bing Tianyi lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said to Wan Ying, "Teacher, I would like to take half a day off."
"What for?" Wan Ying asked.
"To talk to Teacher Gao," Bing Tianyi stated plainly.
"At this point, is it really necessary?"
"It is necessary," Bing Tianyi insisted firmly.
Wan Ying thought for a moment. Seeing the determination on the boy's face, she smiled and said, "Alright then, go ahead. Just be careful."
"Thank you." After saying that, Bing Tianyi walked directly downstairs.
Soon, he arrived at the Disciplinary Office and saw Director Wang sitting at the desk, thoughtfully holding a cigarette between his fingers. Bing Tianyi bit his lip and quickly headed towards Gao Pengjun's dormitory.
At the entrance of Room 203 on the third floor, Bing Tianyi paused, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
"Come in," came Gao Pengjun's weak voice from inside the room.
Bing Tianyi pushed the door open and stood at the entrance. He saw Gao Pengjun holding a glass of white liquor, his face slightly flushed.
Gao Pengjun, at that moment, never expected that Bing Tianyi would dare to come to his dormitory. Without thinking much, he threw the glass of liquor onto the floor, then stood up and pointed angrily at Bing Tianyi, shouting, "Bing Tianyi, get out of my room! Don't dirty this place!"
Bing Tianyi wasn't angry; after all, he could understand Gao Pengjun's feelings at that moment. He turned around and gently closed the door behind him. Then he said softly, "Teacher Gao, I really hope we can sit down and talk calmly."
"I have nothing to discuss with a despicable person like you. Get out! Immediately!" Gao Pengjun was still agitated as he walked towards Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi remained silent and pulled a chair over to sit down slowly. After staring at Gao Pengjun for several seconds, he finally asked directly, "Teacher Gao, do you really think today's incident is our fault?"
"If it's not your fault, then whose fault could it be? Bing Tianyi, I never expected you to be even more despicable than I am. Ha ha, are you happy now? Did you come here to watch me make a fool of myself? But let me tell you, my embarrassment is not something just anyone can enjoy. Just wait; your parents are nothing but stinky dumpling vendors. Don't be arrogant; I'll make sure you know I'm not someone to mess with." Gao Pengjun attacked Bing Tianyi with every word as harshly as possible.
Bing Tianyi suppressed his inner anger as much as he could. Once Gao Pengjun finished speaking, he smiled lightly and countered, "Teacher Gao, what do your parents do? Are they high officials? Celebrities? Rich people?"
