"If you can't manage it, I'll find someone higher up. In any case, if you want to protect him, you won't be able to."

This Teacher Song was always a thorn in his heart that he couldn't remove. His academic performance had been very good. His cousin, who was the principal of his elementary school, always said he was smart and the most likely person in the village to get into college.
But in the end, it was all ruined by this disgrace to the teaching profession.
This Teacher Song was not only greedy and lustful but also loved to hit students.
It's not that teachers can't hit students, but you shouldn't hit a student's face.
The teacher, in front of the whole class, would forcefully slap the student's face, swelling it and making their nose bleed. That's not how a teacher should educate students, right?
Even when parents hit their kids, very few would hit their faces, right?
For students with poor grades, it was really a case of either getting hit or scolded. Can such a person still be considered a teacher?
Originally, Yi Anguo didn't think about settling the score with this Teacher Song, but unexpectedly, the teacher came to him first today.
Yi Anguo is not someone who would let bygones be bygones with a smile. He holds deep grudges against those who have hurt him.
Now that the opportunity has presented itself, Yi Anguo doesn't mind trampling on him hard.
Principal Chen felt very awkward. He regretted bringing Teacher Song along, not expecting it would lead to trouble.
Firing a teacher, especially one who is a long-time teacher, the former principal's son-in-law, and a recipient of annual awards like Excellent Teacher and Excellent Class Advisor, is not something he can do lightly.
However, if he doesn't fire Teacher Song, the promised 20 million yuan donation from Yi Anguo, including the donations for the teachers' building, laboratory building, and library, will fall through.
The crucial point is that even if he doesn't fire Teacher Song, Yi Anguo could still use his hefty donations or investments to pressure higher authorities, and Teacher Song would likely still be fired in the end.
Although both scenarios lead to him being fired, the outcomes are completely different if he does it versus being pressured by higher-ups.
If he fires Teacher Song, the school would receive the 20 million yuan donation, along with the donation of a teachers' building, a laboratory building, and a library.
But if higher-ups pressure and fire him, then all the benefits would go to the top, and the town's middle school wouldn't get anything!
Despite wanting to announce on the spot that Teacher Song was fired, Principal Chen ultimately couldn't say it and awkwardly smiled and bid Yi Anguo farewell.
"Principal Chen, you're not really planning to agree with Yi Anguo and fire me, are you?" Teacher Song asked anxiously after leaving the resort hotel.
"Teacher Song! Look at what you've done. Don't you understand the principle of not bullying the young for being poor?" Principal Chen sighed.
"In a class of seventy or so students, some will do well, and some won't. Not everyone can rank in the top ten! Surely, some will rank last or second to last. If you expel or counsel those who rank last or second last, how can that work?
"If you persuade them to leave, won't there still be someone who ranks last or second to last afterward?"
"As long as there are exams and rankings, someone will always be ranked last or second to last."
"And even if these students perform poorly in school, it doesn't mean they're actually stupid!"
"Once in society, these students often do better, make more money, and are more likely to become bosses than those who were good students in school."
"Conversely, those who were diligent and achieved good grades in school often end up working for those who had poor grades after graduating from college."
"Look at the students you used to disregard, the ones you persuaded to leave. How are they faring now?"
"They could crush you with the money they've earned, bury you with it."
"So what if he has money? He's just an unscrupulous rich man who doesn't want to donate to the school, so he deliberately makes things hard for us," Teacher Song said, unsatisfied.
"A person who doesn't understand the importance of respecting teachers is not worthy of respect, no matter how wealthy they are."
"You're a teacher, and over the years, how many students have you taught? Quite a few must have achieved something," Principal Chen asked.
"How many of these students are genuinely grateful to you, visiting you during holidays?"
"Are these students all people who don't understand the importance of respecting teachers?"
"If you sincerely cared for and helped the students, and fulfilled your duties as a teacher, even if many students didn't achieve much, they would never forget you and the kindness you showed them."
"But as for your students? I haven't seen any who miss you fondly, but I've seen plenty who resent you."
"Recently, Mao Pingyuan, one of your former students, came to school trying to kill you. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
"Being hated by your student so much that they want to kill you with a knife, don't you realize it's time to reflect on yourself?"
"No matter how poor the teaching ability of other teachers, have you ever seen a student trying to kill a teacher with a knife?"
"Why is it that only your students hate you enough to want to kill you?"
"If you had fulfilled your responsibility as a teacher back then, how could those students hate you enough to want to kill you?"
