Sheng Tang saw Chen Zhan again.
This time’s "public trial," with the current leaders as "judges," and the viewers watching the live broadcast also as "judges."
Chen Zhan had a bare face.
It was the first time Sheng Tang had seen her without makeup, she looked haggard, her skin wasn’t as delicate as her mother’s.
Young people these days, their skincare isn’t particularly good.
Chen Zhan and Professor Sheng sat at opposite ends of the long meeting table.
The entire conference room was filled with forty or fifty teachers, a dozen school leaders, two city education bureau leaders, and Sheng Tang’s mother and daughter.
Everyone held their breath, the atmosphere was a bit tense.
At this moment, Chen Zhan began to cry.
A female teacher in her forties sitting next to her comforted her, "Don’t cry. Since something happened, let’s clarify everything together. The school will surely give you an explanation on how to take responsibility."
Chen Zhan nodded while sobbing.
The school leader said a few introductory words.
The viewers of the live broadcast were still leaving comments, as the camera occasionally panned to Sheng Sidong, it also showed Sheng Tang and her mother, Fang Mengying.
"That’s Professor Sheng’s wife and daughter."
"In such a situation, he even made his wife and daughter stand by him, shameless man."
In the first few minutes of the broadcast, all the voices were cursing Professor Sheng, and the few who spoke for him were quickly drowned out.
Outside was tens of thousands of times livelier than inside.
After the school leader finished, he first invited Chen Zhan to speak, explaining how Sheng Sidong had forced her.
"...Mr. Sheng held my thesis project back, repeatedly contacted me, saying I hadn’t submitted it. I remember I did submit it, but I have a habit of deleting email records, and now I can’t find it.
I explained and offered to resubmit it, but he disagreed, insisting he would deduct my regular grades. The regular grades were 40 points, deducting them could cause me to fail.
I pleaded with him, and he took the opportunity to touch me. I told him what he was doing was wrong and unfair to his wife, but he said he had no feelings for her anymore.
He said he was forced to marry back then, and he liked me, wanted to be with me, even promised to divorce her and marry me. I was scared and agreed.
Not only did he ask me to hotels, but he also touched me in the office. What was worse, he took me to his house, and when no one was home, he took me to their bed...
Sheng Sidong’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
The viewers of the live broadcast seemed to be boiling.
Criticism poured continuously, everyone said Sheng Sidong was worse than an animal.
Some people took the opportunity to criticize the education system.
Professor Sheng was almost losing control, he clenched his fists tightly.
The teachers present whispered among themselves, finding it amusing. To think that such a righteous man was so perverted in private.
Forcing a student was already bad, but even bringing the student home...
"I heard he got Fang Mengying pregnant when he was in his third year of university, she couldn’t even graduate then."
"Yeah, there were signs long ago, he was never a good person, just pretending to be one."
The teachers looked at Sheng Sidong with even more disdain.
Some also glanced at Sheng Tang and her mother.
Interestingly, the Sheng family’s mother and daughter looked quite calm, especially Fang Mengying, who listened quietly without any expression.
She was normally so affectionate with Sheng Sidong, how was she able to control her emotions now?
"Words alone aren’t enough, do you have evidence?" a teacher asked.
Chen Zhan, tearfully, said, "I’m not very smart. The hotel rooms were booked by Professor Sheng, so I don’t have that evidence. But I’m pregnant."
She took out a pregnancy test result.
It indicated she had been pregnant for over two months.
