Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1639: Unreasonable and Without Reason_3

But Teacher Wang, after what happened today I feel there’s no need to go back to our city and do the hotel project. I don’t need to do any site visits either—when I go back I’ll just tell our chairman exactly what really happened. Sigh, I originally wanted to do something for my hometown.

But I have to make a living too. If the investment money ends up going down the drain, getting fired would be a sure thing. Forget it, I’d better not bring trouble onto myself.”

“You? Investment?” Yu Dahu glanced at Li Xiaoyan with contempt. “Girl, instead of doing something serious, you’re learning to brag like other people. Don’t blame me for not warning you—blowing your bragging up too big can get people killed.”

“Thanks for the warning. Don’t worry, I’ll live just fine.” As Li Xiaoyan spoke she waved at him. “But I also have something to advise you: if you do too many evil deeds, retribution will come. You have children yourself. As a father, you must have hopes for their future, right? Be careful: everything you’re doing now to other people’s children may one day bring that retribution down on your own kids.”

“You—you get out of here!” Yu Dahu shoved Wang Qiayu. “You brought her here, now hurry up and take her away. And you, go home and reflect for a month.”

“Heh…” Li Xiaoxian laughed, stepped forward, and flipped through the calendar on the wall. “There are only a few days left before vacation starts. The break is one month long. Director Yu, did you get the dates wrong?”

“Get out!”

Yu Dahu frowned and looked at Teacher Qin. “I can see it now, you’re not interested in being head of the senior department. Then let Mr. Tian take it.”

Teacher Qin nodded calmly. “Alright. Thank you, Director Yu, for your concern. My health isn’t good, I’ve been worrying about how to turn it down.”

“Let’s go.” Li Xiaoyan stepped up and tugged on Wang Qiayu, then shot a look at Li Xiaoxian. Li Xiaoxian hurried over and half-pulled, half-dragged Wang Qiayu out.

“Arguing with him—does that do any good?” Once they were out the door, Li Xiaoyan let go of his hand and said.

“I know it’s useless, but I just can’t swallow it. I swear I’ve never seen anyone this unreasonable in my life. I went to ask why he hadn’t transferred the funds, and he actually told me he’d planned to transfer them this afternoon. Then he blamed me, said I clearly had enough money and tricked him into making the transfer. I explained in detail where the money came from, but he refused to believe it, insisting that what I spent was exactly the money I brought over. I honestly find it bizarre—does the money he gave me know how to perform magic, one bill counting as several? This is outrageous. If I don’t get that money back, I am absolutely not done with him. How can we let a good person do a good deed and then still end up taking the loss?”

“You’re just too worked up to think straight.” Li Xiaoyan stared at him helplessly. “It’s the first time I’ve met him, but from just those few sentences he said, I can tell he’s definitely the kind of person who won’t give you even a Ding Dian’er of reason. Trying to reason with him, getting angry at him—you’re just making things hard on yourself. With that spare energy, you’d be better off thinking hard about what we should actually do next.”

“Do what?” Wang Qiayu shot back, patting his forehead. “I almost forgot, I promised you I’d talk Grandpa into it. Why don’t we go to my place now? I guarantee I’ll make Grandpa sell you the formula. If he refuses, I’ll find a way to steal it.”

“Looks like you really are shaken up.” Li Xiaoyan sighed and looked at Teacher Qin. “Teacher, I’m afraid what happened today dragged you into this as well.”

“It’s fine.” Teacher Qin waved his hand. “With the way he is, he definitely won’t be able to jump around for long. To have that little sense of the situation and still bounce around until today is already impressive. Never mind that the Deputy County Magistrate is his cousin— even if it were his own brother, there are some things that can’t be completely covered up for him. From what I saw today, if we don’t get him out of here, the town’s students can forget about having any real future. I’m already at this age—time I retired, too.”

“What are you going to do?” Li Xiaoyan looked at Teacher Qin anxiously. “Teacher, what exactly are you planning? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of reporting him?”

“It’s useless if I report him alone.” Teacher Qin shook his head. “This has to be done, but it can’t be done by me alone. It’s not just one or two people at school who are fed up with him.

After all, many teachers at the school are from this town. Their own kids, their relatives’ kids are all studying here.

The ones getting held back aren’t just other people’s children—they’re their own children too. So tell me, which parent with a child in this school doesn’t secretly hate Yu Dahu?

I can unite everyone and act together. I refuse to believe that the county leaders would ignore the children of Shangguan Town just to protect one Yu Dahu.
