He Weiwei, upon hearing the words, hung her head and began to speak with a trembling voice, "At that time, Sister Yu stopped Gu Zhiqi from leaving. Gu Zhiqi ignored her, so she tried to hit Gu Zhiqi. But before she could, she covered her face and then collapsed to the ground clutching her stomach. I... I didn’t see whether Gu Zhiqi had actually..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Weiwei hadn’t finished speaking when Li Yiming slapped her. The sound of the slap mixed with roars of anger echoed through the office.
Upon seeing this, Gu Changchuan became furious in an instant, quickly subdued Li Yiming, and pinned him to the ground with force, "So you like hitting people? Why don’t you try hitting me? What kind of man bullies a child, huh?"
Caught off guard and suddenly pressed to the ground, Li Yiming didn’t manage to react. Gu Changchuan glared at Gu Chongming, "Principal Gu, is this how your school’s Dean of Instruction behaves?"
His tone was laced with clear displeasure.
Principal Gu was also startled by Li Yiming’s sudden fury and took a good while to come to his senses, "Li Yiming, do you realize what you are doing?!"
"He Weiwei, Shiyu considered you her close sister. Is this how you repay her?" Li Yiming ignored Gu Chongming completely. Even while being subdued by Gu Changchuan, he still managed to shout at He Weiwei from the ground, the fury in his eyes seeming as if it would burst forth at any moment.
When He Weiwei heard Li Yiming’s voice, she covered her slapped face and retreated several steps in fear, then cast her eyes down and quietly began to cry.
Yet nobody noticed the cold and cruel intentions in her eyes.
Having seen Li Yiming’s current state, Principal Gu’s brow furrowed tightly, and he had already decided inwardly that this man could no longer remain at the school.
While holding Li Yiming to the ground, Gu Changchuan raised his eyes slightly towards Gu Chongming, speaking with a serious expression, "Principal Gu, regarding this matter, what do you say? It is no longer solely about my child. I am speaking to you as a parent. Regardless of whether this incident involved my child or not, based on what I have witnessed today, I cannot simply turn a blind eye or give deaf ears, nor can I peaceably allow my child to continue attending this school."
Upon hearing this, Principal Gu felt a jolt in his heart and immediately said, "Mr. Gu, please stay calm. You can rest assured, Li Yiming will no longer be part of this school from now on."
It wasn’t just Gu Changchuan who didn’t feel at ease; Principal Gu himself wasn’t comfortable with the idea of keeping Li Yiming at the school.
If Li Yiming could be so insolent today while Principal Gu was present, he couldn’t imagine how Li Yiming would treat the children when he was absent.
He had to take responsibility for the children of the school.
Upon hearing Principal Gu’s words, Li Yiming’s eyes widened in shock, "Principal, what are you saying?!"
"What am I saying? I’m telling you that you don’t need to come to this school anymore. Do you see what you’ve done? Does any of it resemble something a teacher should do?" Principal Gu felt embarrassed just thinking about Li Yiming’s current conduct.
"You’re firing me?" Li Yiming looked at Principal Gu with disbelief written all over his face.
"Not only are you being fired, but you had better pray this is the first time. If I find out that you’ve handled children before... Humph, it won’t just be a simple matter of being fired," Principal Gu snorted coldly, looking at Li Yiming.
When Li Yiming heard what Principal Gu said, his anger flared up again, "Gu Chongming, what do you mean by this? You were the one who asked me to come to this school, and now you’re also the one saying I should be fired. What do you take me for, someone to be dismissed just like that?"
"If I had the authority to bring you in, naturally I have the authority to let you go," Principal Gu said, his face stern as he looked at Li Yiming.
