2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"My dad came from the countryside. He started as a clerk at the bottom of the company. He spent more than 20 years and brought my mother and me to the big city step by step..."

Zhang Yu was sitting on the sofa, leaning forward slightly, with little expression on his pale and thin face:

"My dream is to travel around the world. My thirteenth birthday wish was to travel abroad. But until I was sixteen, my dad never fulfilled my dream."

Having said this, he raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged couple sitting in front of him.

"But he gave me a better opportunity and sent me to study abroad."

"My father and mother's combined annual income is about 250,000 yuan. But if I study abroad, it is conservatively estimated to be at least more than 200,000 yuan a year. In other words, if I study abroad for one year, my parents will work in vain for one year."

"But I still chose this opportunity, not because I am selfish, but because I think I can solve this problem." Zhang Yu leaned back slightly, put his hands on his chest, and tapped each other regularly with his fingertips.

"Scholarship is not a difficult thing for me. I can find a part-time job after I get there. My parents only need to give me 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, which is enough for me to live well abroad."

"This account was calculated when my father said he would send me to study abroad. I stayed up late looking up information."

Zhang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and tilted his head: "Principal Yan, you are an expert in this field. Am I right?"

Yan Guocheng didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd. He first forced his way into the house and threatened himself and his wife with force. Now he began to tell stories about his family's past.

But no matter what, it is better to cooperate in this situation.

"Absolutely." Yan Guocheng nodded.

"Then do you think I am blindly confident when I say I want to get a foreign scholarship?" Zhang Yu continued to ask.

"You do have the strength." Yan Guocheng pursed his lips tightly.

In fact, when Zhang Yu first entered school, he received a full scholarship from the group behind the school because of his excellent results in the high school entrance examination.

At this international high school, the annual cost for an average student is about 100,000 yuan.

"I was able to fulfill my dream, and my parents didn't have too much pressure. Everything went smoothly and beautifully. During that period, it was the happiest time in my life."

Beautiful memories should make people smile, but at this time, the temperature on Zhang Yu's face has dropped to freezing point.

"Zheng Mingyu..."

He spoke the name slowly, with a trace of mockery on his face.

Zhang Yu's overall temperament suddenly changed from gloomy to crazy, his eyes widened, and his voice was as passionate as a dramatic character reciting lines:

"This ungrateful cousin actually started targeting me just because I pointed out her mistakes in court, which made her feel very humiliated."

"This fucking pretentious little princess in the big city secretly said that I was a native pig from the countryside, and that my parents were low-class people who wanted to save face and suffer. I was angry after knowing this, so I scolded her in person, and then She scolded and cried."

"Then guess what?" Zhang Yu raised his head and stared at Yan Guocheng and Li Hui with bloodshot eyes filled with absurdity.

"The next day in the physical education class, I didn't go to the classroom to do the questions. She also stayed in the classroom at that time. I was still a little guilty and wanted to apologize to her, but she suddenly yelled that I wanted to Rape her."

Zhang Yu's voice suddenly became passionate and angry, and even a few drops of crystal saliva spewed out:

"This fucking filthy bastard, even if she were naked and lying in front of me, I wouldn't take a second look! She said I wanted to rape her?!"

"And the most damning thing that I can't understand is that you all chose to believe her and this stinky cousin, and then fired me without any hesitation the next day!"

"Not only that, my parents' company found out about this from somewhere, and they were both fired."

"Our family had no choice but to return to our hometown. As a result, there was a car accident on the road. My father died and my mother became paralyzed. From then on, I couldn't even go to school and had to go out to work."

Zhang Yu's eyes were red, and a few crystal tears flowed down his cheeks. At this time, he didn't look like a murderer who forced his way into a house, but more like a hesitant and helpless young man.

The expression on Yan Guocheng's face was complicated. He didn't expect that Zhang Yu's family would go through so much later. He couldn't help but want to explain: "That incident at the beginning was actually..."

"Shut up!!"

Zhang Yu shouted angrily, and the LCD TV on the wall in front of him exploded. Broken glass and various parts flew in all directions, hitting every corner of the living room like raindrops.

Li Hui subconsciously let out a scream, and Yan Guocheng quickly reached out to hold his wife in his arms, blocking several flying debris with his shoulders.

"People are always like this. After retribution comes, they say how much they regretted it and how helpless they were. Are you hypocritical?" Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, with a look of deep disgust in his eyes.

Yan Guocheng blocked his wife behind him, the wrinkles on his face trembling slightly. It could be seen that the man was very scared at this time, but his voice still seemed calm: "Tell me what you want to do."

"How is it?" Zhang Yu stood up, with a distorted smile on his face: "Take a guess."

...

In 2017, that afternoon when it happened.

Yan Guocheng patted the dean's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "This matter needs to be investigated. It needs to be investigated carefully and an explanation must be given to both families."

He sympathized with the girl's experience from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time, he did not want to believe that Zhang Yu, a good student with both good character and academic performance, would really do such a thing.

Yan Guocheng wants to find out the cause and effect of this incident. If this incident is true, then the perpetrator must be severely punished. If there is any misunderstanding, then he must do his best to resolve it. .

However, this was only his wish after all, and reality did not give him much time.

Later that afternoon, the general manager of the group called and told him that Zheng Mingyu's mother was the editor-in-chief of a certain newspaper and his father was the president of a large local company.

In order to minimize the impact of the incident, he must expel Zhang Yu as soon as possible to express the school's position.

"Mr. Zheng and Ms. Sun said that as long as we fire Zhang Yu directly, they can consider not expanding the influence of this matter, or even prosecute Zhang Yu..."

"Old saying, let's change it a little bit. Do you know how much manpower and resources the group spent to achieve this result?"

"Yan Guocheng, I want to remind you that you are the principal of this department. If you really want to be held accountable, you will definitely be blamed. If I remember correctly, your eldest son will go to college in two years... ..."

Yan Guocheng is just the principal in charge of the International Department, but the entire school belongs to the group. In the final analysis, he is just a higher-level migrant worker.

Due to pressure from above and pressure from Zheng Mingyu's parents, Yan Guocheng drafted a statement to expel Zhang Yu the next morning.

Didn’t you see that Zhu Jun, the great host of CTV, was accused of harassing and assaulting his subordinates because of a poorly written essay on the Internet. His promising future was directly ruined, he lost his job, and he was criticized by countless people. Until he was finally vindicated and it was confirmed that all the crimes were made up by the woman, countless people still clamored: "Can't he be proven guilty without evidence?"

Zhtyy, the popular online novel author at that time, was also involved in lawsuits and was suffering from a lot of lawsuits because of a completely fabricated essay. Even if they were proven innocent in the end, the original rumor mongers simply deleted their accounts and ran away without any punishment.

There is also the Blue and White University, the highest university in China. A freshman was queuing in the cafeteria and his backpack accidentally rubbed the buttocks of a senior student. The senior student refused to listen to any explanation, took photos of the new student without any evidence, and shouted that he should be completely killed in society. If surveillance had not been used to prove his innocence, the fate of that freshman, who was both good in character and academics and had studied hard for more than ten years before being admitted to a top university, would have ended up unimaginable.

However, the rumor makers and perpetrators of the above similar incidents were not punished at all, and only the victims were injured.

Because Yan Guocheng understood it so well, he knew that in this situation where there was no direct evidence from both sides, if the dispute really came to the end, Zhang Yu would probably be stigmatized as a "sex criminal" forever.

...

The middle-aged man in a suit knelt in front of Yan Guocheng and begged him to give him a little more time. He believed that his son would never do such a thing.

Yan Guocheng had been fighting for a long time in his heart. In the end, reason defeated his emotions, and he still handed the other party the notice of withdrawal from school.

After all, ending the matter here was to save his own job.

He also has his own family, and now he bears the burden of the entire family alone. If he falls, no matter what the reason is, his two sons, wife, and parents will inevitably suffer.

Yan Guocheng didn't know what the truth was, but he was actually willing to believe in the possibility that Zhang Yu was actually innocent.

But if Zheng Mingyu's parents call the police or file an appeal, in the absence of witnesses and surveillance video, if this incident is recorded by the police, Zhang Yu's child's life will almost certainly be ruined.

Now the parents of the other party are just asking to drop out of school and will not continue to hold them accountable. You can just change schools and stop arguing.
