Chapter 288 Model
From the end of June to mid-July 94, the No. 6 Middle School, like other schools, reached the most critical moment of the whole year. Not only the usual final exams, but also the two battles of high school entrance exams and college entrance exams that determined the fate of countless young people were coming one after another. However, because of what happened at the beginning, during that period of time, there was an indelible haze over the No. 7 Middle School campus.

On the day when Chu Jian had the accident, Luo Dahai received the news very early.

This was thanks to Wang Xiaokai's quick response. He found Class 156's head teacher Wang Mingzhen at the first opportunity. Wang Mingzhen immediately called Luo Dahai. At that time, Luo Dahai almost fell down without catching his breath. After he came to his senses, he immediately reported the situation to the school leaders, convened a meeting of the head teachers, and asked the teachers of each class to stabilize the students in each class.

The undercurrent began the day I was first hospitalized.

Lin Zihao had been taken away, and the only one left at home was his mother, who was still exhausted from worrying about her husband, Lin Yongqiang. When Lin Zihao's head teacher ran to his house and told her about this, she fell to the ground on the spot.

That night, the woman followed Lin Zihao's class teacher to the No. 1 Municipal Hospital. She begged, cried, and knelt all night at the door of Chu Jian's ward, where he had not yet woken up.

The First Central Committee responded quickly. After the meeting, there was only one general tone: now that everyone is safe, let's make a big deal out of a small matter. Because if this matter is not handled properly and in a low-key manner, some people's positions will most likely not be kept. They had to find a way to conduct civil mediation to minimize the nature of the incident, but now Lin Zihao's family is in this state. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "on the verge of despair". It is impossible to come up with money for civil mediation. Luo Dahai proposed to compensate Chu Jian's family with 2 yuan.

Chu Jian's family was easier to deal with. Her mother Jiang Feng was a woman with little experience, and as a parent, she was easily influenced. She couldn't bear it, so Lin Zihao's mother knelt down in front of her and kowtowed to apologize. In the end, they were all miserable people. She watched her daughter Chu Jian overcome the difficulties and get better day by day, and the resentment in her heart gradually faded.

However, there was one person who was very difficult to deal with.

Zhang Yunqi.

People like Luo Dahai knew very well that trying to appease this kid with money was simply a joke.

Luo Dahai knew best what kind of person Zhang Yunqi was. This guy didn't look like a student at all. In fact, judging by the businesses he was running now, he was no longer a simple student. With his current wealth, he might not even care about two million, let alone twenty thousand.

Of course, perhaps some of his deeds were not widely known in the school, but Luo Dahai knew about it, and the principal Wang Daozhong was also well aware of it. Wang Daozhong was very proud that the No. 1 Middle School in the city could cultivate such a special talent. He often praised Zhang Yunqi in private, saying that he was the pride of their No. 1 Middle School and that his future prospects were limitless.

But in Luo Dahai's eyes, this pride is really a disaster. Although he never causes trouble in school and is very different from those problem students, except for occasional absenteeism, he is almost one of those good students who can't find any fault with him. But this guy is hard-hearted and ruthless when doing things, and those who offend him never have a good ending.

He has dealt with them several times and suffered every time.

Whenever he thought of the huge Buddha that he had personally gone to the remote town of Longwan to invite, he wished he could find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.

As for the current matter, Luo Dahai didn't even have the courage to talk to Zhang Yunqi. Out of desperation, he found Wang Mingzhen, the head teacher of Class 156, hoping that he could come forward to talk to Zhang Yunqi and handle this matter as low-key as possible.

Wang Mingzhen is highly respected and well-loved by students, so his words carry a lot of weight, but this old man still doesn't know how to consider the overall situation. He said to Luo Dahai: "Is it so difficult for students to ask for fairness? Let me persuade them, I can't bring myself to do that."

These words made Luo Dahai very angry.

Finally, it was the principal Wang Daozhong who came to talk to Zhang Yunqi.

It was a rainy afternoon. Zhang Yunqi went to the No. 1 Municipal Hospital with his cooked chicken soup as usual. When he stood at the door of the ward, he saw Wang Daozhong in the room.

Wang Daozhong should have been here for a while. Strangely, he came alone without anyone else accompanying him. He was talking to Chu Jian by the bed at the time. His tone was kind, but Zhang Yunqi only heard one sentence: "Lin Zihao did something wrong, and it was a big mistake, but he is still a student after all, and he is still young. It may not be appropriate to beat him to death with a stick. Can you give him a chance to start a new life?"

Zhang Yunqi turned and walked to the corridor.

He leaned against the door of the tea room and lit a cigarette.

Not long after, Wang Daozhong came out. He was tall and thin with a square face, in his early fifties, wearing a white shirt and had a dignified demeanor. On his way to the elevator, he passed by the tea room and saw Zhang Yunqi and was stunned.

In fact, for many school leaders who know some of Zhang Yunqi's situation, talking with this student would be awkward, because they can no longer regard themselves as a teacher in front of him like they do with other students. Sometimes they want to say something to him and act like a leader, but they can't help but think that he is doing very well outside and the money he earns in a day is enough for a lousy teacher like them to teach for many years. So what qualifications do they have to point fingers at him?
Wang Daozhong and Zhang Yunqi had rarely met, so it was unknown whether he had such emotions. At least at that time, his kind and public face was smiling gently, and he asked, "Zhang Yunqi, are you here to see me for the first time?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Yes, Principal Wang."

Wang Daozhong walked up to him with a smile: "That's right, I want to talk to you too."

Zhang Yunqi said politely, "Please speak."

Wang Daozhong said: "What Lin Zihao did has caused great harm to you and Chujian. I am also very sad about this. Fortunately, Chujian is safe now, otherwise no one can bear the consequences." "In the past few days, I have been reflecting and understanding the ins and outs of the whole thing. Objectively speaking, Lin Zihao used to be a good student with outstanding moral education, physical education, and aesthetics. I think it was his father's problem that caused his temperament to change drastically and made such a stupid mistake. This mistake cannot be made up for, and he should be punished for it. However, if possible, we can give this child a chance to start a new life. I think he will cherish it after experiencing all these things."

Zhang Yunqi guessed what Wang Daozhong was going to say. Even if these words were not hypocritical and were sincerely for the sake of Lin Zihao, a student with a bright future, the respected old principal was far from being frank and straightforward, and did not even mention the core purpose of his visit today.

Of course, to take a step back, perhaps he was judging others by his own standards and thought that Wang Daozhong was really so upright, but his thoughts on this matter had never changed. Whether Wang Daozhong talked to him or not, the result would be the same.

Zhang Yunqi said, "Principal Wang, you know what? I have known Chu Jian for a long time. Chu Jian is a good girl in every way, except that she doesn't know how to say no. Many of the misfortunes she has encountered in her life are precisely because she lacks the ability to say no. Many times, she is afraid that if she says no to someone, it will leave a rift in both parties' hearts that will never heal."

At this point, Zhang Yunqi stopped. In fact, he didn't finish what he was saying. What he hated most was that people took advantage of their kindness when they first met to cause trouble!
Of course, with Wang Daozhong's level of attainment, he might be able to understand what he meant.

Wang Daozhong looked at him and asked, "So, you are going to reject my proposal on behalf of Chu Jian?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "I can't. I'm speaking for myself. Whatever Chu Jian wants to do is her business. I have no right to interfere. But I'm also a victim. That knife was aimed at me. It wasn't accidental. Lin Zihao wanted to kill me."

Wang Daozhong was silent for a moment. He knew that the young man in front of him was mature in character, meticulous in thinking, and his vision and knowledge were far beyond the reach of his peers. However, he did not expect his decisiveness and hardness. This matter has not yet been determined, but he insisted that it was premeditated murder.

Lin Zihao, it’s over.

Wang Daozhong nodded: "I understand."

After a pause, he perked up and said with a smile: "You are still young, so you should smoke less and quit if you can. The school can't control an outstanding student like you, and I guess some teachers don't dare to control you, but I hope you can set a good example for your classmates."

Zhang Yunqi put out his cigarette butt and said, "Thank you, Principal Wang, for your teachings."

Wang Daozhong waved his hand, walked away and disappeared at the entrance of the corridor.

Zhang Yunqi picked up the incubator and went to the ward.

Chu Jian was lying on the bed reading a book. The room was very quiet and white everywhere. When he came in, Chu Jian's clear eyes reflected the sunlight outside the window and she smiled: "Yunqi, you are here. Principal Wang just left not long ago. Did you meet him?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "I met him."

Chu Jian asked, "What did you say?"

Zhang Yunqi sat on the bedside and approached the first person he met. His expression was serious: "He said that there are only a few students as outstanding as me. I am a role model for the No. 1 Middle School in the city and a role model for all students in the school."

Chu Jian smiled and said, "We need to be more humble."

Zhang Yunqi opened the insulated box and said, "I want to be modest, but after all, I have achieved such success. If I am modest, others will say that I am hypocritical. Hey, you don't understand my level. It's hard to be a human being. Come, let's have lunch."

Chu Jian said: "What delicious food have you cooked? It smells so good."

"Old hen soup."

“So nutritious.”

"It's all to fatten you up so you can be discharged from the hospital earlier and stop bothering me."

Her face turned red when she first saw him. She looked at Zhang Yunqi and said softly, "But what if I want to trouble you all the time in the future?"

"Then you can just wait to become a 180-pound fat man." Zhang Yunqi poured a bowl of chicken soup, blew away the hot steam patiently mouthful by mouthful, and then brought it to Chu Jian.
