632 Are They Here to Seek Justice?
About an hour later, Li Zhiwei’s secretary entered his office.
“Director Li, are we just going to ignore this matter? What if Lin Yi pursues the matter?”
“Other than calling the police, what else can he do?” Li Zhiwei said disdainfully.
“They still don’t have any evidence to prove that Lewis and the others did it. It’s useless even if the police come.”
“Director Li, do you think Lewis and the others did this?”
“Who else could it be?” Li Zhiwei asked.
“Fortunately, I reacted quickly and tricked Lin Yi into leaving. Otherwise, this matter would have blown up.”
“But I saw how Lin Yi aggressive was. He didn’t seem to plan to give up easily and even threatened you just now…”
“He’s just like that. If he’s really that capable, why would he come to Zhengyang Street to open a shop?” Li Zhiwei said disdainfully.
“Which capable person would cook for themselves? It’s all nonsense, so you don’t have to take him seriously. Just ignore him.”
“Got it, Director Li.”
With that, the female secretary walked out of the office.
Li Zhiwei did not take this matter to heart anymore. Instead, he called Lewis.
“Lewis, Lin Yi came to look for me just now. He already suspects you. Don’t come back to school for the next few days. Come back after the storm calms down.”
“Teacher Li, you have to understand my problem. I left school not because I was afraid of him, but because I had other things to do.”
“It doesn’t matter what is going on in your life. Just don’t come back for the time being. I know Lin Yi. He’s not one to suffer in silence. After such a big thing happened, he definitely wouldn’t just let it go.”
“We’ll take care of this. Just stay out of it.”
“Alright, do as you see fit. Just don’t go overboard.”
After giving a few simple instructions, Li Zhiwei hung up.
He placed his hands under her chin and frowned. He lit a cigarette uneasily as if he was thinking about something.
From Lewis’s words, it was obvious that he did not want to give up either. There would be more acts of vengeance later.
This Lin Yi was really too much. Why did he offend them for no reason?
He was an overseas student with an extraordinary status. Did he think this was someone he could offend?
Even if you punched hard and had the upper hand for that moment, wouldn’t you still be the one to suffer in the end?
It was fine if he was arrogant when he was in school, but why was he still like this after graduation?
‘I hope you can learn your lesson this time and keep a low profile in the future. There are some people you can’t afford to provoke!’
Creak…
Li Zhiwei had just hung up when he saw his secretary walk in.
“Why are you back?”
“Director Li, Principal Chen wants to see you.”
“Principal Chen is looking for me? What did he say?”
“He didn’t say what it was about, but didn’t the school provide your report to the Education Bureau a few days ago? This might be about the vice principal position.”
Li Zhiwei slapped his forehead. “Look at my memory. How could I have forgotten about this?”
After tidying up the things on the table, Li Zhiwei hurriedly got up and went to the principal’s office.
“Principal Chen, you were looking for me.”
A middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting in the office.
He was wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and a pair of black leather shoes.
The man’s name was Zhuang Chen. He was the vice-principal of Zhonghai Institute of Technology.
Seeing Zhiwei Li enter, Zhuang Chen looked up and said indifferently,
“What have you been doing these days?”
Hearing this, Li Zhiwei was delighted. He had guessed correctly.
“Didn’t I take on a project last year? Recently, I’ve discovered something new. I’m preparing to organize the experiment results and publish them in a scientific journal.”
Chen Zhuang nodded calmly.
“What else did you do?”
This question stumped Li Zhiwei.
Other than scientific research projects that could have led to a promotion and bonus points, he couldn’t think of anything else of significance.
“The rest are just trivial matters. There’s no need to mention them.” Li Zhiwei said with a smile. He could no longer hide the excitement in his heart.
“Since you can’t remember what you did, I’ll get straight to the point.”
Chen Zhuang pushed the documents on the desk toward Li Zhiwei.
“Go back and pack your things. You don’t have to come to work tomorrow. However, since you’ve worked in our school for so many years, we’ll cover the rest of this month’s salary.”
‘Huh?’
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Li Zhiwei.
He was stunned for a few seconds, unable to react.
“Principal Chen, what’s going on? Why have I been fired?”
“Who am I supposed to ask?” Zhuang Chen said.
“The leader of the Education Bureau called me just now and specially mentioned this matter. Furthermore, it was a direct order. He didn’t even give me the reason.”
Li Zhiwei’s face was ashen. He had thought that he would be promoted and get a raise, but he did not expect to be fired instead.
Suddenly, Li Zhiwei thought of something.
Lin Yi had said before he left that he would be forced to leave if he didn’t get Lewis and the others.
Could this have something to do with him?
The more Li Zhiwei thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Perhaps that was the case. In any case, he had to call Lin Yi to confirm this.
At this point, it was better to believe it than not!
He quickly took out his phone and found Lin Yi’s number.
He prayed in his heart that he had not changed his phone number.
Soon, the call went through and Lin Yi’s voice was heard.
“Lin Yi, what’s going on? Did you have anything to do with me being fired?!”
“Didn’t I just tell you that if you didn’t find Lewis, you’d be the one forced to leave? Why didn’t you believe me?”
Lin Yi’s answer completely dumbfounded Li Zhiwei, and his body trembled.
He didn’t expect Lin Yi to have so much power.
“Don’t be rash. Let’s talk things out. I’ll help you contact Lewis now.”
“If you knew this was going to happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
With that, Lin Yi hung up and didn’t say anything else to Li Zhiwei.
Li Zhiwei did not dare to waste any more time and hurriedly called Lewis.
“Lewis, come to the school. Something happened.”
“What could have happened at school?”
Lewis was a little confused. He was not in school. Were the school teachers just trying to vent their anger on him?
This was no possible.
“Don’t ask anymore. Hurry up and find Lin Yi or I’ll be finished.”
“We’ll talk about it later. I don’t have time to go back now,” Lewis said fearlessly.
“But you can tell him that since he beat me up that this isn’t over!” Lewis said. “I’ll make sure he regrets it!”
“Aiyo, stop fooling around. I’m begging you. Come back quickly. I really can’t waste any more time with you…”
Lewis hung up mid-sentence.
He did not take Li Zhiwei seriously at all.
Seeing Li Zhiwei put down his phone, Zhuang Chen asked in surprise,
“What happened? Why are Lin Yi and Lewis involved? Didn’t Lin Yi already graduate?”
“Principal Chen, I’ll talk to you about this later. Let me settle this first.”
After saying that, Li Zhiwei hurriedly ran out to look for Lin Yi’s shop.
As long as they made peace, there was still room for negotiation.
Li Zhiwei ran all the way to Lin Yi’s store. His shirt was covered in sweat by the time he arrived.
“What are you doing here?”
Lin Yi asked when he saw Li Zhiwei sweating profusely.
“Lin Yi, we were still teacher and student. You can’t be so ruthless.”
“Why are you still playing the emotion card with me at a time like this? It’s not appropriate, right?”
“I—”
Li Zhiwei was so anxious that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
“I already called him, but Lewis won’t listen. There’s nothing I can do.”
Lin Yi shrugged. “Then there’s nothing I can do. I’m not in a hurry anyway. I’ll take my time.”
“Lin Yi, listen to me.” Li Zhiwei said earnestly.
“In truth, Lewis was able to study in our school because of his family’s wealth. Moreover, he’s the president of our school’s International Students Association and has many connections with the people from the International Students Association of other schools. If he contacts these people and decides to target you together, the nature of the matter will change. How will your career develop in the future?”
“Don’t say such useless things.” Liang Jinming said.
“Those little brats can’t influence my Brother Lin’s career.”
Smack!
Gao Zongyuan lit a cigarette and said to Li Zhiwei,
“What about you? Give them a heads up first. It’s best if they take the initiative to come over and admit their mistakes. If we’re not in the mood to wait, none of them will be able to escape.”
Li Zhiwei’s expression collapsed as if he had been drained of his soul. He did not know how to explain this matter.
Lin Yi was a troublemaker to begin with. Why were his friends like this too?
He had said so much, but why wouldn’t they listen to a single word?
There were almost 100,000 international students in Zhonghai. If this matter blew up, the government would intervene.
Even if you have some connections, you can’t compete with so many people!
“Damn, what’s going on? Why are there so many Ruxians outside?” Qin Han said with a cigarette in his mouth.
Hearing this, Lin Yi and the others looked up.
He realized that there were dozens of people standing outside, and they were all foreigners with different skin colors.
In addition, these people were holding banners and other things in their hands. It was similar to the protest marches featured on the news.
“What are these people doing? Are they here to seek justice?” Lin Yi said.
