The conference room was silent for almost five minutes before the principal spoke in a trembling voice.
“Since this is a Qiao family matter, shouldn’t we consider letting the Qiao’s solve this by themselves?” The principal looked at Tao Xi and asked.
Qiao Yue was the fifth young master of the Qiao family. A small quarrel between the fifth brother and the sixth sister was a family matter. Family matters could be resolved behind closed doors. There was no need to escalate it to the school level. Both would save face if the problem was resolved within the family.
“If the Qiao’s solved this internally, what about the student who have been bullied?”
Qiao Yue pressed a button on the remote control and an injury evaluation report appeared on screen. It listed the wounds on the student who had been bullied.
Every wound corresponded to the victim who had been beaten in the video.
“That kid might not even be a Harvey student. She’s just wearing a Harvey uniform, and her face is pixilated. Did you forge the video to frame my daughter?”
The third madam looked at the masked face in the video and seemed to have found the last ray of hope.
Since Qiao Yue had masked the face of the student who had been bullied, this person must be someone very important to him.
In which case, Qiao Yue would be in a dilemma.
If the unmasked video was released, this student would be judged and criticized by everyone in school.
Moreover, at their age, there were many kids with pack mentality who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Some of them may follow suit to bully the same student.
If Qiao Yue was unwilling to release the unmasked video, she could say that the video was forged.
Qiao Yue sneered. “Whether the video was forged, we can leave it to the police to investigate. Third Madam, you don’t think the police will believe the evidence you forged, do you?”
Indeed, if the case was handed over to the police, the police would investigate it while keeping the identity of the bullied person a secret.
“You!” The third madam shouted angrily, “You are shameless! Harming your own siblings like this.”
“Does that mean that Third Madam admit that the bully in the video is Qiao Xin?” Qiao Yue sneered.
Everyone looked at the third madam and Qiao Yue in silence. Tao Xi also sat back down.
The third madam turned to look at Tao Xi, pleading for help with her eyes.
“This problem is a little complicated. Let’s deal with it according to the school rules. The student who was bullied also needs an outcome.” Qiao Yue looked at the principal and continued, “Principal, you wouldn’t like Harvey to be in the news for tolerating school violence also, right?”
The principal looked at Qiao Yue’s eyes and shuddered. This boy’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, stabbing straight to the jugular.
Cold sweat broke out on the principal’s head.
“Qiao Yue, our determination of school violence has to be based on the specific case and the opinion of the school disciplinary committee…”
Qiao Yue slammed the table and the principal trembled in fear.
“Director Tao Xi, you wouldn’t want the bullying of the Qiao children to be in the news, right?”
Tao Xi’s face was pale. Her overbearing attitude had completely disappeared, and she looked a little dejected.
“Qiao Yue, don’t be a sh*t stirrer. Qiao Xin is your sister. It’s bad enough that you led others to bully her, but now you want to ruin your sister’s life. You really have no conscience!”
Tao Xi stood up and said to the principal, “I want to withdraw our investment. If you punish Qiao Xin, I will withdraw our investments on behalf of the Qiao Corporation.”
The shareholders were shocked.
Tao Xi didn’t seem to be kidding.
Once the Qiao’s withdrew their investments, many other shareholders would follow suit. If that happened, Harvey Academy wouldn’t be able to cope with the school’s daily expenses, and the entire school might collapse.
“Ms. Tao Xi, please reconsider. You can’t withdraw your investment just because of a student, right?”
“So what if we withdraw the family’s investment? I can put in my own investment.” Qiao Yue sneered, “KA group will invest 80 million yuan in Harvey Academy as long as Qiao Xin and the Li brothers receive the punishment they deserve.”
The parents in the audience were all shocked. KA group, that multinational conglomerate? It would actually invest in Harvey in exchange for a few students’ punishment?
Eighty million yuan was basically the same amount of money that the Qiao family had invested over the years.
The principal’s hands trembled with excitement. This was a huge sum of money.
He picked up the microphone and said, “For the sake of school peace, I hope that all parents will hear me out. Since Qiao Xin has indeed hit someone, we can suspend her from school indefinitely first.”
