Chapter 54: Fake

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The principal remained silent but couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He thought, “Finally, someone had the chance to teach Mr. Wang a lesson. If it wasn’t for the fact that the school needed a few experienced teachers, I would have dismissed him long ago.”

The principal composed himself and said, “Mr. Wang, let’s not get too worked up. Let’s hear what Miss Song has to say first.”

“Principal, are you just going to ignore her nonsense?” Mr. Wang asked with his eyes wide open.

His blunt demeanor left the principal feeling quite disgusted. After all, he was the head of the school, and being questioned so brazenly by Mr. Wang was inappropriate.

Mr. Wang, however, remained oblivious to this. In his view, he possessed the most teaching experience, and there were no other teachers in the school who could match his credentials. Consequently, he felt at ease speaking casually in front of the principal.

Song Fan leaned back on the sofa calmly. “Mr. Wang knows very well whether I’m speaking nonsense or not. Initially, I didn’t want to pay attention to your boasting, but now that you want to complain to the principal and have me dismissed, you can’t blame me for saying it.”

“Since you believe that I should set an example, then you shouldn’t boast about your impressive resume every day. After all, those claims aren’t true.”

This statement left Mr. Wang in shock. He nearly jumped up on the spot and pointed at Song Fan, demanding, “What evidence do you have to claim that those aren’t true?”

Song Fan disliked being pointed at. After seeing that the door to the principal’s office was closed, she reached out and pushed Mr. Wang to the ground. This scene had startled the principal.

Song Fan picked up her phone and read, “You’re indeed good at fabricating stories. You know how to mix truths with lies. For instance, you claimed to be a volunteer teacher for ten years, but in fact, you only spent a week there each year. Moreover, you asserted that you received the title of National Outstanding Teacher, but it turns out to be another teacher with the same name. Am I correct?”

Mr. Wang hadn’t anticipated that anyone would uncover this information. He scrambled to his feet in a panic. “That’s not true. You’re slandering me.”

The principal’s expression had turned grim long ago. He fixed his gaze on Mr.

Wang and said icily, “Mr. Wang, you need to think carefully about how you’re going to respond. It’s illegal to forge a resume.”

The deception was something the principal detested the most. As an educator, he believed in honesty and integrity. In the past, he had commissioned investigations into Mr. Wang’s resume, but due to its age, the records were hazy. Nevertheless, they were generally consistent. Now, upon reflection, it seemed there had been ample room for manipulation.

Song Fan had previously asked Lan Yue to help in conducting these investigations. She had not expected that half of Mr. Wang’s resume was fabricated.

Mr. Wang was at a loss for words. His usual arrogance had vanished. He stood there trembling. As he looked at the principal, the answer was self-evident.

The principal felt a strong urge to overturn the table. What wrong had he done to encounter such a person? If news of this incident were to spread, it could tarnish Eke’s reputation.

Parents were likely to descend upon the school, causing a commotion. They might even urge their children to withdraw and enroll in other schools. The reputation he had built over the years would crumble.

Mr. Wang’s face was streaked with tears and snot. “Principal, I know I made a mistake. Please don’t expel me.”

The teachers at Eke Middle School enjoyed excellent treatment, which had led him to deceive and attempt to join Eke. If he were to leave, he wouldn’t have an equally easy job elsewhere.

The principal regarded him coldly. “You still want to stay here after committing such an act?”

He wished to render Mr. Wang unconscious and toss him into the river. Even a deceased teacher would be preferable to a scandal that could ruin Eke’s reputation.

Song Fan stated, “In fact, this matter wasn’t easy to uncover. I only learned about it because I reached out to an overseas hacker friend. So, as long as Mr. Wang departs discreetly, it won’t cause any disruption.”

The principal concurred with this proposal, but Mr. Wang wasn’t willing to leave. He believed that Song Fan was scheming to try to get him away. He yelled at Song Fan, “If it weren’t for you, no one would have known this.”

After saying those words, he grabbed the vase from the table and charged forward, clearly consumed by anger to the point of losing his rationality.

Song Fan promptly kicked him out and even managed to catch the vase. She remarked, “You really shouldn’t have attacked me.”

Mr. Wang was left without a response. He curled up on the ground with his face contorted in pain. The kick had caused his ribs to break.

He was quickly taken to the hospital. With the principal’s testimony, Song Fan’s actions could only be considered as an act of self-defense. This time, the principal had a valid reason to terminate Mr. Wang’s employment.

Upon Song Fan’s return to the office, those who had been close to Mr. Wang felt apprehensive. After all, they had often gossiped about Song Fan behind her back..
