"Forget it, there's nothing much to say." Xu Suya looked at Jia Kai, suddenly feeling utterly disheartened. This was not the outcome she had desired.

Seeing his mother's disheartened appearance, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but glare fiercely at Director Cai and Chief Chen, then wrapped his arms around his mother's shoulders, saying, "Mom, you can't lose heart just because of a few bad apples; it's not worth it. After all, there are more good people in this world, and most officials are decent. Like Director Jiang, didn't you just say he is a good leader? And Secretary Jia Kai here, he's also not bad. Talk to him. Only by doing this can we kick the bad apples out of the educational team and allow good leaders like Director Jiang to rise. Plus, you need to clarify some things to make the party secretary understand, to let the present education bureau leaders understand, how hard it is for village teachers, and that they should receive more concern and support."

Xu Suya wasn't a person who couldn't accept reason; it was just that the events of the past few days had been too much of a shock, and she was having a hard time accepting it. In what was supposed to be a beautiful career, such disgusting people could exist. Now that her son was patiently advising her, though she hadn't fully recovered yet, her mood had somewhat improved. She patted her son's hand on her shoulder and nodded, "Hmm, you make sense, so I will speak."

As she spoke, Xu Suya laid out various certificates and awards one by one, recounting her years of teaching experience in the village, all the way up to her visit to Director Cai's office, where Director Cai had time for tea and newspapers but wouldn't attend to her matters. She spoke of Director Jiang's kindness and ended with Chief Chen telling her to leave, saying she wasn't a tenured teacher, and he had the authority to hire and fire her.

When she reached the final words, Xu Suya couldn't help but shed bitter tears, looking at Secretary Jia Kai and asking, "Secretary Jia, I want to ask, is it really like this? We village contract teachers work hard for most of our lives, only to receive such a response in the end?"

Xu Suya's choked questioning echoed down the corridor, striking at everyone's heart, causing Director Jiang in the hallway and the staff of the Education Bureau to shamefully lower their heads.

This matter truly left Chief Chen and Director Cai inextricably accountable, but weren't the other workers of the Education Bureau also responsible?

At this time, the faces of Chief Chen and Director Cai had turned completely pale, filled with natural regret.

If they had known the situation would escalate to this, they would have given Xu Suya a position earlier. It was only about a substitute teacher's position, after all.

Of course, without Ge Dongxu's forceful intervention and Secretary Jia Kai's presence, Chen and Cai, accustomed to bureaucratic superiority, would never have acknowledged this and conceded to a mere village contract teacher. In their eyes, Xu Suya was nothing more than a troublemaker and a shrew.

"No, Ms. Xu. The government repeatedly emphasizes that village contract teachers have made significant contributions to rural education and insists that local governments must ensure proper resettlement, not neglecting anyone. It's my fault as county party secretary for not fulfilling my duties. I apologize to you and ask for your understanding! Please believe me, our county party committee and county government will truly take this matter seriously, and we won't let any village contract teacher suffer any injustice." Jia Kai's expression shifted between anger and shame until Xu Suya had finished speaking, then he bowed deeply to her with self-reproach.

"Thank you." Seeing Secretary Jia Kai's sincere attitude, Xu Suya felt much better and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"You, all of you, think about it; do you still deserve to be this chief, this director?" Seeing Xu Suya's mood alleviate, Jia Kai couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then turned to glare at Chief Chen and Director Cai, rebuking them sternly, his face ashen.

Jia Kai was still a decent county party secretary. Hearing Xu Suya's account, he truly felt heartbroken and furious, never having expected that Director Cai, whom he had highly valued, would treat his work with such disregard.

"Secretary Jia, I deeply reflect on this. I will surely investigate this matter thoroughly and handle it appropriately," Director Cai replied, shaken by Secretary Jia Kai's rebuke, looking utterly frightened.

Chief Chen felt the same way.

"You investigate? You handle this? Do you still have the face, the qualifications to do so?" Ge Dongxu said coldly upon hearing this.

Director Cai and Chief Chen's faces changed upon hearing this; they then looked at Secretary Jia Kai with pleading eyes.

Up to this point, they were still unclear about Ge Dongxu's real identity and still believed that Secretary Jia Kai was the one who truly had the authority to make decisions.

Seeing Director Cai and Chief Chen looking at him, Jia Kai felt both annoyed and bitter.

Were they unaware of Ge Dongxu's identity, and he wasn't?

Of course, Jia Kai was also confused about why, for someone as significant as Ge Dongxu, his mother was still just a rural teacher.

However, confusion aside, the fact that Ge Dongxu was walking and laughing alongside Elder Feng was something that couldn't be erased.

"What do you think, sir?" Instead of paying attention to the pleading looks from Director Cai and Chief Chen, Jia Kai turned to Ge Dongxu.

"If it's just a matter of work attitude, I think removal from the position is sufficient, as such a person is not suitable for this role. However, I believe the issue isn't that simple, so I hope the comrades from the Disciplinary Committee Office will investigate this matter," Ge Dongxu said without mincing words with Jia Kai. This matter involved his mother, so how could he possibly let these two off easily.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Director Cai and Chief Chen drastically changed, and they said, "We haven't done anything; why should there be an investigation on us?"

"The innocent will clear themselves, and the guilty will reveal themselves. I am only asking the Disciplinary Committee comrades to investigate you, not to convict and imprison you. What are you yelling for? Do you have a guilty conscience?" Ge Dongxu asked coldly.

"No, of course not," both men said, shaking their heads.

"Is that so?" Ge Dongxu gave a cold smile, then said to Jia Kai, "Then let's disperse the unrelated people. You take over from here."

"Alright." Jia Kai was decisive and nodded at the words, then waved his hand to disperse the crowd and personally called the Disciplinary Committee Office to ask them to send someone immediately.

"Mom, maybe Dad should accompany you back to the Jiang Family Village home first; I will stay here a bit longer and go back later," Ge Dongxu said to his parents as Jia Kai was making the call.

The events that followed were no longer suitable for their involvement.

At this time, Xu Suya also felt a bit drained, and noticing that her son's influence was far greater than she had imagined, she realized she need not worry about him. She nodded at his words, and before leaving, she made a point to thank Director Jiang.
