In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

"Then go ask your school! Why are you asking me?"

Also, your current attitude is making me very angry; your internship certificate still needs my signature.

You only graduated from a junior college, just to get a diploma. You'd better think carefully before you speak!

I can give you my ID card, but then you won't get your graduation certificate. I'm giving you one last chance; the choice is yours!

The girl was instantly conflicted, her expression breaking.

Just then, whoosh!

Chen Zhengxi stood up abruptly, and Chen Luo watched as his daughter angrily walked towards the other party.

Chapter 418 Has Darkness Fallen Over the Education System?

"Sister! Don't be afraid of him!"

Chen Zhengxi stood straight beside the girl, squinting as he looked down at the middle-aged man sitting there.

According to the Labor Contract Law, employers cannot withhold employees' personal ID cards and other certificates.

His withholding your ID card is a violation of regulations and an illegal act. He even tried to threaten you with your graduation certificate. He looks respectable, but he's actually full of malicious intentions!

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when faced with Chen Zhengxi's sudden appearance, but he quickly reacted.

"Who are you! What's it to you? Get out of here and mind your own business!"

"You're bullying people like this, and you still think you're right?"

"I'm just meddling in other people's business, and you have a problem with that? If you do, keep it to yourself, or you'll see I'm calling the police right now!"

Chen Zhengxi wasn't going to tolerate the other man at all. He was about to take out his phone to call the police when the middle-aged man got impatient and stood up to snatch Chen Zhengxi's phone.

But just as he reached out, a pair of large hands precisely grabbed his wrist—it was Chen Luo!

"sit down!"

As soon as Chen Luo spoke, the oppressive aura of someone who had long held a superior position stunned the middle-aged man. His eyes were fixed on the gleaming Party emblem on Chen Luo's left chest. He swallowed hard, knowing he had kicked a hornet's nest, and obediently sat down.

Seeing this, Chen Luo turned around and looked at Chen Zhengxi, saying, "Zhengxi, don't be so reckless next time."

"Dad, I felt that this guy was bullying me, that's why..."

"Yes, I understand when you encounter injustice on the road, but you need to be careful about how you do it, understand?"

"Hehe, I understand, Dad. With you by my side, I definitely feel very safe!"

Nodding, Chen Luo then turned his gaze back to the girl and the middle-aged man who had obediently sat down.

“I’ll ask you a question, and you’ll answer it. Tell me the truth: which organization do you work for, and what right do you have to withhold someone’s ID?”

Chen Luo's tone was very calm, but it was this calmness that made the other person break out in a cold sweat.

Her body trembled slightly as she stammered, "I am the owner of this teahouse..."

I confiscated her ID card; I didn't know it was illegal. I'll return it to her immediately!

As he spoke, the middle-aged man hurriedly took out an ID card from his bag and handed it to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo took it without hesitation. The girl's name was Li Yunjie, and her ID card showed that she had just turned twenty.

"And wages too. People don't work for you for free; they have to be paid."

The boss looked somewhat bitter upon hearing this.

"Well... it's not that I don't pay her, it's that her salary is all going to her school. Her agreed salary is 4,500 a month, I deduct 1,000, and the rest is taken by the internship supervisor at her school."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's calm eyes gradually tightened.

"Uncle...maybe we should just forget about it. I don't want the salary. Compared to a graduation certificate, I'm worried..."

Chen Luo looked at the girl.

Are you worried that your school won't let you graduate smoothly?

The girl lowered her head in silence upon hearing this, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Don't worry, your school's practice is illegal. How can you profit from student internships?"

This is a very serious matter; you could easily report it to the relevant education department.

Hearing this, the girl clenched her teeth and remained silent.

"Was it useful, Uncle?"

After saying this, the girl's face turned much paler.

To Chen Luo, it was like a thunderclap in broad daylight.

"Li, remove the 'ma' character!"

These words did not comfort the girl; instead, she shook her head bitterly.

"No, Uncle, it's no use... Several of my classmates have complained to the Education Bureau, but nobody cares."

The education bureau requires that reports be filed under real names before accepting them, but the day after these alumni were reported, they were summoned by the school for a meeting.

Several of them were fired on the spot..."

Chen Luo fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, such a situation is not impossible.

“Oh, Dad, this sister doesn’t seem to be lying. Not every official is like you, with the people’s well-being in mind. Ordinary people can only accept their bad luck and choose to keep quiet when they encounter this kind of thing.”

Chen Zhengxi was someone who loved to watch the drama unfold.

They even went so far as to directly incite the fire from the opposite direction.

"Dad, don't you believe me? Why don't we let this lady make a call to report it right here? Or I can make the call myself."

Chen Luo rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Zhengxi.

"Alright, alright, Jung-hee, who doesn't understand your little scheme? Go ahead and hit me, I want to see who's the weakling!"

"Uncle, are you really going to hit me?"

"Li, don't worry, go ahead and hit me. I guarantee you won't be expelled from school!"

"Then I'll give it a try..."

The call was to the municipal education bureau's oversight hotline.

Beep beep beep... No one answered at all.

"Uh, it seems like people have already left work by now."

This is very awkward.

"It's okay, wait for me a moment."

After saying that, Chen Luo called his secretary, Xu Yang.

"Hey, Secretary Xu, could you send me the phone number of the director of the Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau and the director of the Provincial Department of Education as well?"

"Yes, Governor!"

Xu Yang didn't ask what the purpose of these phone numbers was, but quickly obtained them through various means and sent them to Chen Luo.

Only four or five minutes passed in between.

Chen Luo looked at the numbers Xu Yang sent and scanned them. He was very satisfied; they were very complete, including the phone numbers of the bureau chief, deputy bureau chief, and department head and deputy department head.

"Li, now go and call out names one by one from this list. I want to see who doesn't care about the people's affairs!"

Li Yunjie wasn't stupid. Looking at the phone list handed to her, she knew that the handsome uncle opposite her was probably a high-ranking official.

Taking a deep breath, she dialed the first number: Du Kang, the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau.

The first call rang for only ten seconds before the other party hung up on it.

"continue!"

Chen Luo spoke, and Li Yunjie typed it a second time.

In the end, the other party hung up on him directly.

"Hit me again!"

Finally, the third call was answered.

"Hey! When will this end? You keep calling me."

"Hello... Are you a leader from the Guangshi Education Bureau? I am a student at Guangshi Vocational and Technical College, my name is..."

Before Li Yunjie could even finish saying her name, the other party hung up.

Chen Luo saw all of this, and his eyes were already filled with hidden anger.

"No need to fight this guy surnamed Du anymore, let's switch!"

One after another, three deputy directors died in the same way. At first, everything went smoothly, but after hearing Li Yunjie introduce herself, they all hung up the phone immediately.

It's obvious they're treating people differently based on who they're dealing with.

"Just take down the bureau chief!"

Chen Luo pointed to the list on his phone, and Li Yunjie carefully entered the numbers and then dialed them.

This time, the other party answered on the first try.

"Hello, this is Wu Yang, the director of the Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello Director Wu, I am Li Yunjie, a student at Guangzhou Vocational and Technical College. It's like this..."

Chapter 419 You're the bureau chief, but you won't last long!

After listening to Li Yunjie's account of the situation, Director Wu's tone revealed his concern, and Chen Luo originally thought that this farce should end here.

But Wu Yang revealed his true colors as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hey Li, I'm aware of what you reported. Don't worry, as the director, I'll definitely help you resolve this. Your school's actions are clearly against regulations. Here's what I'll do: I'll call your school leaders tomorrow and mention your situation. Your school definitely won't make things difficult for you."

At first glance, the other party seemed quite responsible.
