Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1069 - Chapter 1069 Chapter 1025 You Are Not Qualified

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1025: You Are Not Qualified Chapter 1069: Chapter 1025: You Are Not Qualified People familiar with Zhao Xinglong and Liu Kun knew all too well that this was just the style of Young Master Zhao and Young Master Kun. Coming from such family backgrounds, they have never cared what others think because, more often than not, it’s everyone else considering their thoughts.

Moreover, at this moment, with three sisters-in-law present, both understood that these women typically kept a very low profile. At this point in time, the fact that it was about buying a school and calling them over clearly indicated that someone had offended them.

Therefore, Zhao Xinglong and Liu Kun showed no mercy, working in tandem to corner Wu De against the wall.

Wu De was shaking with rage at this moment. As the brother-in-law of the Vice Director of the Hongjiang Province Education Department, even though Wu De had no particular ability or talent, in the education sector, who would dare to offend him? Did these people no longer want to run their schools?

Furious, he pointed at Zhao Xinglong and others, trembling as he said, “You… you… you all, don’t want to run your schools anymore? Just wait, you’ll see what’s coming for you.”

No sooner had his voice fallen than Li Lixue remarked indifferently, “The name West Australia School isn’t very good. It must be changed. I think Longteng International Academy would be better.”

This statement made Wu De burst into laughter. “Haha, bragging, aren’t you? An international academy? Do you think any school can just hang up a college sign? According to national regulations, a college is considered a tertiary institution that can recruit undergraduate students. This requires approval from the Ministry of Education. And you’re talking about an international academy.”

There came a knock at the door.

Following that, four or five cadre-like individuals entered from outside, scanning the room before their gaze settled on Wu De. They spoke up, “Who is in charge here? We are from the Hongjiang Province Education Department’s Office for Socially Run Schools. Here are our work IDs. We have received a public report. The accreditation process here is not up to standard. Who is in charge? Please come back with us for an investigation. Moreover, considering the various issues with your school, we need to take back your accreditation. Once you pass the inspection by the provincial authorities, it can be reissued.”

Just as Wu De was nearly overwhelmed, the reinforcements he had called for finally arrived. Seeing someone come to inspect, Wu De was as relieved as if he had seen his own kin, eagerly approaching them and, with great excitement, said, “Comrades, you’ve finally arrived.”

Zhao Xinglong and Liu Kun frowned. Zhao Xinglong, stepping aside, said to Kun, “Kun, what do you think, isn’t this guy playing with a broadsword in front of Guan Yu? I stopped using such tricks eight hundred years ago. It’s completely relying on others’ power.”

On the other hand, An Na spoke in a grave tone, “We’ll see if these people deserve to be treated like humans.”

Clearly, these people had come for Wu De, to voice their support for him. Just think, if such a school really had no documents, how could it operate openly and lawfully? It was obvious these people were here to find fault since the former principal of West Australia School and others did not dare offend Wu De because of his connections within the Education Department.

Liu Kun smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. This is a small matter. Let me handle it; there’s no need for you to step in, even if his father is the top official at the Hongjiang Education Department.”

Having said that, Liu Kun stood out, surveyed the crowd, and spoke in a stern voice, “I am one of the shareholders here. Now I ask you, where are your work IDs? The enforcement documents? Moreover, to suspend the school’s teaching and recruitment qualifications, you must give a reason, right? You can’t just conclude we have a problem based on a public report. If that’s the case, should I falsely accuse you of corruption and bribery, and then you’d be subject to suspension for investigation?”

Since when did government inspections require such elaborate measures? Previously, when conducting inspections below, didn’t all schools treat them courteously, with hospitality? Now, this was a complete turn of the heavens.

Then, Wu De stepped forward, naturally aligning himself with these individuals, and said, “Old Wang, you see, these people are so lawless. Relying on their wealth, they bark orders around here. Such a school must be banned. I will definitely report this to the leaders of the Education Department.”

Wu De was skilled at leveraging the situation. With these words, he sent a signal to the individuals that he would tell the Vice Director of the department, who would surely stand up for them.

Thinking this, he braced himself and said in a firm tone, “What kind of attitude is this? Could I be falsely accusing you? I tell you, if you do not comply with the inspection today, I can charge you with obstructing public duties.”

Liu Kun, however, arched an eyebrow and replied indifferently, “Obstructing public duties? Well, I’m eager to see how you’ll accuse me. Moreover, I’m telling you, if you can’t find any valid issues, I will sue you. That includes your Education Department.”

In fact, the construction of West Australia School had undoubtedly met all standards. In the beginning, when Boss Tan and others set up the school, they aimed for a good reputation. Over the years of educating, they had pursued a path of excellence. Every aspect of the school, whether infrastructure or the quality of teaching staff, was of top domestic standard, and there were no flaws to pick.

After the inspection, there was no find at all. Seeing this, Director Wang spoke in a low voice, “Mr. Wu, I think, let’s forget about it. You are aware of the West Australia School. It is a model of private education set up by the province. Everything is in place, and there is really no fault to be found.”

Wu De twisted his neck and said sternly, “Old Wang, I don’t care about any of that. Just one thing, this place is shutting down, and that’s the result I want. Old Wang, rest assured, in front of my brother-in-law, I will definitely speak highly of you.”

On hearing this, Director Wang gritted his teeth and nodded, “Mr. Wu, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll go all in.”

Liu Kun was not worried about them forcefully taking away the school’s license; some files could be checked, and he was completely confident about this matter.

Calmly looking at Wu De, he said, “Wu De, right? I don’t care whether this school is closed now or not. In any case, the money you need to spit out, not a penny less, all of it must be returned.”

Under the supervision of Liu Kun and Zhao Xinglong, and guarded by their bodyguards, Wu De took out his bank card. At this moment, he had no other choice but to do so. They notified the parents who had already paid the tutoring fees one by one. After they had collected their respective fees, they let Wu De and his group leave.

…

The office building of the Hongjiang Province Department of Education was not very tall or particularly impressive. At this moment, inside the vice director’s office,

a man in his fifties was glaring angrily at the two people in front of the desk: the vice director’s brother-in-law Wu De and Director Wang of the private education department. Seeing their demeanor, the vice director slammed the table and yelled, “Old Wang, what have you done? Now, we’ve received a summons from the Hongcheng Intermediate People’s Court. Somebody has sued us. Moreover, the accusation is that the Department of Education of the province is suspected of slandering and libeling private schools, and under the Administrative Procedure Law, they have initiated a lawsuit. Do you realize that this puts me in a very awkward position?”

“Shen Tingzhao has already issued an order to me, commanding us to immediately reach an out-of-court settlement agreement with West Australia School. The trouble was caused by you two, so clean up your own mess and figure out a way to make the other party withdraw the lawsuit.”

At the moment, Liu Kun was sitting in the principal’s office, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being a principal.

Next to him, Zhao Xinglong, with no regard for image, sat on the desk. He teased, “Now I understand why you wanted to be a principal, you are going after the future of our country. I’m just saying, you’re an old bull about to face the end, and yet you still have such sharp teeth?”

Zhao Xinglong, the rascal, could insult without swearing, which was clearly a dig at Liu Kun for going after younger women. Seeing Zhao Xinglong’s irritating demeanor, Liu Kun also laughed and cursed, “Scram. How is it going with the Ministry of Education? What’s their response?”

Previously, the conversations between Liu Kun, Zhao Xinglong, and Li Lixue were not just bragging: if they were going to do something, they would strive to be the best. They didn’t look up to just a primary through secondary international school, their target was an aristocratic-style international college.

Zhao Xinglong now spoke seriously, “Of course there is no problem. When your Master Long steps in, how could I not have that much clout? What about you? Has the lawsuit started?”

Liu Kun was very confident at this moment and laughed heartily, “It hasn’t started yet, but all the evidence is in our hands. I’ve brought over the entire legal team from the Minnong Group. I don’t believe that my cleaver can’t slaughter a small chicken.”

No sooner had his words fallen than a knocking sound came from the door, making the two of them curious. It was summer vacation time, and normally, there wouldn’t be many people here. So why was someone calling on them today? Zhao Xinglong got down from the desk and said with a serious tone, “Come in.”

Upon opening the door, the expressions of Liu Kun and Zhao Xinglong changed. Looking at the two visitors, Liu Kun sneered, “Oh, it turns out to be Director Wang and Teacher Wu De. What an honor, what an honor. Could it be that with the court date a few days away, you couldn’t wait to come and comfort me?”

Director Wang’s face changed, and at this moment, he was very aware that he had probably kicked an iron plate. He chuckled awkwardly and said, “Director Liu, hello, I am here to apologize…”

Before he could finish, Zhao Xinglong cut him off. His gaze was filled with contempt as he stared at the two men and said sternly, “Director Wang, coming to apologize now? Where were you before? Teacher Wu De, when you insulted my nieces and nephews, did you ever think there would be a day like today? Now you realize your mistake. Too late. You don’t have the standing for this, so go back to where you came from. Git as far as you can. Seeing you vexes me, and if I feel upset, who knows, I might add a few more things to the lawsuit.” (To be continued.
