Old Headmaster, why haven't you come yet? Director Liu thought in his heart, he knew that he couldn't stop the power of the principal by himself as a department head, and everything was done by man! Director Liu tried his last effort to defend Ye Zifeng.

"This matter, is it too heavy to expel from school, I think let's discuss it first. Let's decide."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the conference table, waking up all the participants, and everyone looked at the speakers in surprise, including President Zhang.

It was Secretary Wang, Secretary of the Party Committee of the school, who spoke.

Secretary Wang has passed the retirement age, and because the party secretary who took over has not been decided, he has remained in office until now. Because of this, Secretary Wang rarely cares about the daily management of the school, and the management of the school is said by Principal Zhang, even if he rarely speaks at large and small meetings. So everyone is used to Secretary Wang's way of doing things, including Principal Zhang, and they all think that as long as he says it, Secretary Wang will not have an opinion.

But today, Secretary Wang spoke, so they were shocked, especially Director Liu, he didn't know how Secretary Wang suddenly spoke about this matter, in fact, Secretary Wang was also one of the very few people who knew the relationship between the old principal and Ye Zifeng. But no matter what, Secretary Wang's statement is a lifesaver for Director Liu, and he must firmly grasp it: "Yes, let's discuss it first and talk about our own views!" ”

No one expressed their opinions, the venue was strangely quiet, and Secretary Wang stopped speaking after throwing out his attitude. Principal Zhang clearly hasn't recovered from the shock yet.

No one would be stupid enough to show their attitude at this time, so the venue was surprisingly quiet.

"Ahem, ahem." The second cough brought everyone back to their senses.

At this time, I saw that the director of the teaching department said without hesitation: "Secretary Wang, here's the thing, this fight, the consequences are very bad, everyone was beaten into a concussion, and there is a broken arm bone, the impact is very bad, the parents of the students have found the school, and the school has not let the police deal with it, which is very protective of the interests of the students." Therefore, the punishment for expulsion is not serious. ”

After the director of teaching finished speaking, everyone was still silent, Principal Zhang came back to his senses at this time, he couldn't let Secretary Wang make things yellow, affecting his majesty in the school, not to mention that this matter was also handed over by the secretary of the municipal party committee, he immediately took over the words of the director of teaching and said: "Even if Secretary Wang asks everyone to express their opinions, everyone will talk about it, if everyone has no opinion, I think this matter is settled." ”

Principal Zhang's meaning is very obvious, the more he asks everyone to express their opinions, but the less everyone will express their opinions. This is the same reason as if you did not come to the meeting, please raise your hand, and if there is no objection, that is, in favor.

"Can I share my opinion, then?" At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and the old headmaster stood majestically in the doorway.

"Old Headmaster!"

Everyone stood up in unison and called out to the old headmaster respectfully. The old headmaster's position in their hearts is something that no one can replace.

Because there were so many seats in the conference room, there were no extra chairs, everyone got up to give up their seats for the old principal, and the old principal walked past Secretary Wang, walked past Principal Zhang, walked directly to the front of Director Liu, and sat down on Director Liu's seat, Director Liu had to stand behind the old principal.

At this time, everyone understood that the old principal was here for Director Liu. Secretary Wang just performed, and the old principal appeared on the stage, this scene is a bit interesting, but on this occasion, everyone just wants to be an audience, not an actor, so everyone still chooses to be silent.

"Old headmaster, why don't you give notice in advance, so that we can pick you up." The first to break the silence was the Director of the Teaching Division.

"That's right, old principal, just notify us of something, see that you still come over in person!" Principal Zhang took over the conversation.

The old president ignored no one and said to himself: "Since the establishment of HKUST, the University has been committed to rigorous management and academic management, so that HKUST can achieve today's achievements. The premise of rigorous school management and academic management is to govern the school, to do the right thing, and to do the right thing. If people and things are right, then there will be great governance. ”

"If a person is right, the rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, which is called a great husband. You can't waste things because of people, and you can't waste people because of things, this is the degree. If there is no degree and no rules, there is no square circle, which is chaos. ”

The old principal's words made Principal Zhang speechless for a moment.

Principal Zhang didn't know the relationship between Ye Zifeng and the old principal, but he knew that the old principal was here for Ye Zifeng. Since the old principal has come forward in this matter, and Principal Zhang feels that he is incompetent, even if Secretary Lei personally participates in this meeting, he will not save the face of the old principal. Although President Zhang is more utilitarian, he can become the president of HKUST, and he is also a figure who can afford to let go.

So, Principal Zhang said sincerely: "What the old principal taught us is that we have handled this matter too much. Since Director Liu has dealt with it, let's do it according to the department's handling opinions. ”

Seeing that Principal Zhang admitted his mistake in person, everyone was still silent as always.

In the end, it was Secretary Wang who came out to make a round: "Old principal, Principal Zhang is also for the management of the school, since this matter has been resolved, then it will be settled." This concludes our meeting for today. ”

After everyone left the conference room after greeting the old principal, Principal Zhang and Secretary Wang warmly invited the old principal to the office for tea, but the old principal refused, and only asked Director Liu to send him back.

When sending the old principal out of the school, Director Liu asked the old principal if he wanted to meet Ye Zifeng? The old principal thought for a while and said: No, everything is just fate, when you can see it, you will naturally see it. He suddenly thought of the old Taoist priest, and his expression was a little dark.

Ye Zifeng knew that this was many years later, when he was preparing to establish the largest private university in China, the old president was hired as the honorary president, and Director Liu was hired as the executive president, these are many years later.
