Binjiang Garden Villa.
Yang Wen calmed down under Qin Yanyang’s comfort.
Not long after, she received a phone call from Xia Bingqing, asking her to check the school website and at the same time, pushed a few videos to her.
After she and Qin Yanyang saw those videos that had gone viral on major portals, they immediately beamed with joy.
Finally, someone stood up for her.
Seeing the truth being reported and so many people speaking out for her, Yang Wen felt warmth in her heart, and all the grievances she had felt before dissipated.
"These videos and the copy above were collected by Zhu Wenjie, and he also used his family’s influence to contact the major portals. He has put in a lot of effort for your issue. Plus, some of our student council classmates helped out too. You should treat them to a meal later," Xia Bingqing sent her a message.
Yang Wen happily replied with one word: Okay.
Seeing that this matter had attracted such extensive attention online, Qin Yanyang knew that the Binhai City Government would not dare to protect Jiang Guowei under such risky circumstances. She considered the matter settled and sent a message to the person she had spoken to on the phone earlier, telling him not to bother anymore.
Qin Yanyang always tried to avoid using her background if possible. She did not like living in Imperial City but preferred life in Binhai, where almost no one knew of her family background, because she felt that people there did not see her as the Miss Qin from the Imperial City Qin Family; it made her feel comfortable and real.
However, sometimes things go contrary to one’s wishes.
Her phone rang, displaying Huang Tingquan’s number.
"Mr. Qin... Teacher Qin, which building in Binjiang Garden do you live in? Principal Jiang and I have come over. Finding out that Yang Wen has suffered injustice and misunderstanding, we now, after investigating clearly, come to apologize to her in person for the previous wrong decisions," Huang Tingquan said with extreme caution, almost obsequiously.
Qin Yanyang inwardly smiled bitterly, immediately understanding why this man had suddenly become so deferential.
The pressure of online discussions only made them worried about their reputations being affected and losing their positions after the exposure, but in places outside the media, they would not humble themselves so low to sincerely apologize to someone they perceived as a weak victim.
Huang Tingquan had been assertive and arrogant during his time in the Political Work Office, the kind that showed no respect, very dominant.
Now, alongside Principal Jiang Guowei, he was speaking to her in this timid and cautious tone, indicating that he had learned about her status as the Miss of the Qin family.
If the two of them knew, who knows how many more in Binhai were aware.
Qin Yanyang felt a bit helpless and displeased. Originally, she did not want to see them, but thinking of the injustice Yang Wen had suffered today, she felt it necessary to stand up for her sister-in-law.
Qin Yanyang indicated the location of the villa.
Outside the villa gates, Huang Tingquan was driving a black Audi, his palms sweaty and his demeanor very nervous.
Only after Qin Yanyang granted permission did the security guards let the car in.
"Principal Jiang... Principal Jiang, can we get through this situation?" Huang Tingquan asked cautiously.
Principal Jiang Guowei sat in the passenger seat. Although the air conditioning in the car was excellent, he kept wiping sweat from his forehead, feeling very hot.
Compared to the spirited and glowing principal he usually was, now Jiang Guowei looked like a low-level employee who had made a mistake, appearing anxious and restless.
He thought for a moment and said, "I have already corrected the mistake as quickly as possible, the punishment imposed on Yang Wen has been revoked, and we have also personally come to apologize, which I believe is giving her immense face. I believe Qin Yanyang should not hold on to such a trivial matter."
Huang Tingquan was secretly relieved to hear this.
He also felt that since he and Principal Jiang had personally come to apologize, the other party should not hold on to the matter.
He should not be involved either.
As for Principal Jiang, he shook his head secretly, somewhat pessimistic about his old leader who had taken care of him.
After all, the power of the internet is tremendous, and given Jiang Guowei’s previous actions to flatter and please Li Xiaoji, which angered the public, now that the issue has been exposed online, wouldn’t someone need to take the fall for it?
Being just a Vice Principal of Political Work, he couldn’t withstand such a significant issue. To quell the online public’s anger, the principal who initiated everything needed to personally take the blame.
Upon reaching the location Qin Yanyang had mentioned, seeing the excellent location and the vast area of the stand-alone villa, Jiang Guowei and Huang Tingquan couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
How much would that cost?
It was said that the villas in Binjiang Garden were extremely expensive; this villa must be among the top tier, surely needing at least a small fortune to acquire.
Truly lavish. Worthy of being the young lady of the Imperial City Qin Family.
The two could not help but recall if they had ever acted inappropriately in front of Qin Yanyang, or offended this young lady of the Qin Family.
As men, naturally, they had had some improper thoughts about the highly attractive Teacher Qin, and now they couldn’t help breaking out into a cold sweat on their backs, grateful that they had restrained themselves and never said anything excessive.
Qin Yanyang was very polite, and knowing the two were coming, she was waiting with Yang Wen at the entrance of the villa.
Once the two men got out of the car, Jiang Guowei hurried over and said respectfully to Qin Yanyang, "Miss Qin, I...I was unaware of your status before and failed to take good care of you in my line of work, which was indeed a lapse in my duty."
Huang Tingquan stood by, smiling and nodding obediently.
Qin Yanyang frowned.
She was there to have these two apologize to Yang Wen, but their immediate sycophantic attitude towards her was disgusting and disagreeable to her.
Being able to reach his level, Jiang Guowei was naturally cunning, and seeing Qin Yanyang frown, he immediately realized something was wrong. He quickly turned to Yang Wen and bowed at ninety degrees, his tone earnestly apologetic, "I’m sorry, Yang Wen. As the principal, I failed to investigate carefully before making a wrong disciplinary decision against you today, for which I am truly sorry.
However, I have already revoked the punishment against you and have publicly apologized to you. I hope you can forgive my oversight and confusion, considering that I was sincerely trying to secure international funding for the school’s future development."
Huang Tingquan saw that Jiang Guowei, as the president of Binhai University, actually bowed at ninety degrees to a student, causing his mouth to twitch, but he quickly followed suit, also bowing at ninety degrees to Yang Wen and saying, "I’m sorry, Yang Wen. I failed to promptly investigate the truth at school and detained you in the Political Work Office, which demonstrated poor handling on my part. I hope you can forgive me."
For Yang Wen, not to mention Jiang Guowei, the Principal of Binhai University, even Huang Tingquan, the Vice Principal of Political Work, was a high-ranking official whom she could only look up to on regular days.
Now that these two high-ranked officials were personally bowing and apologizing to her with sincere attitudes, she felt somewhat flustered inside, and somewhat uncomfortable.
She had indeed been wronged earlier, but with so many people online supporting her, plus the school retracting her punishment, her grievances had already dissipated.
Young people are like that, quick to anger and quick to forgive, open-hearted and not bearing grudges, so facing the current situation, she seemed a bit at a loss, hastily looking towards Qin Yanyang, "Sis... sister-in-law, what should I do?"
