Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1258 - 673: Reorganizing the On-Campus Teaching and Staff Team (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Chapter 1258: Chapter 673: Reorganizing the On-Campus Teaching and Staff Team (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Ding Yue had called Chen Han over.
Chen Han’s forehead was now beading with cold sweat. The people present had basically figured out what had happened; it seemed the two million yuan in teaching funds had indeed been embezzled by Chen Han.
"Principal Ding... I..."
After Chen Han stepped forward, he became hesitant and stuttered when he spoke.
"I’m asking you..."
Just as Ding Yue was about to ask about the situation concerning the two million yuan in teaching funds, he suddenly heard a "plop" sound from up ahead!
With that single plop, Chen Han dropped to his knees on the ground, his face streaming with tears, looking extremely remorseful, "Principal Ding, I’m not human, I was careless, I was so foolish, sob sob sob..."
And so it was, a forty-year-old grown man, crying right there and then.
Seeing this, Ding Yue’s feelings were extremely complicated. Although Chen Han now looked pitiable, Ding Yue was naturally not going to soften his stance. Why hadn’t he thought of these things when he was committing his deeds? Now he regrets, now he thinks he was foolish?
Too late, he must face the punishment he deserved, the punishment he ought to receive!
"I’m asking you, what did you do with that money?"
But there was still one thing Ding Yue wanted to know, which was what Chen Han had done with that two million yuan in teaching funds.
"I... I... I spent it,"
Chen Han replied, faltering.
What the heck!
Ding Yue had thought he’d get a more reasonable explanation, but this was it?
Spent it all?
How was two million yuan spent? For an ordinary person, as long as you don’t buy a house or a luxury car, it’s not that easy to spend that amount, right?
Furthermore, if Ding Yue remembered correctly, the two million yuan in teaching funds was only approved after the start of this semester.
After going through various procedural steps, it must have been at least October by the time it reached Mr. Chen Han’s hands, right?
So in the span of one or two months, all the money was spent?
Are you eating money every day?
"Principal Ding, we can check his spending records to find out," a police officer said at this moment.
Ding Yue nodded slightly and then looked at Qian Duoduo, the director of the finance department.
Qian Duoduo immediately asked Chen Han, "Mr. Chen, the two million, is it all gone?"
In Qian Duoduo’s view, if the money had been spent, there might be some left, which could potentially recover some of the school’s losses.
However, Chen Han did not answer, merely sobbing.
Seeing this scene, Ding Yue was nearly infuriated to death.
How did the school end up recruiting such a person?
Of course, you might not see the character of a teacher at the time of hiring, and since the person has a postgraduate degree and seems economically well-off, how did he end up on such a path?
"Now answer me, what did you do with the money?"
Ding Yue asked again.
"Principal Ding... I, I watched live streams... and tipped... tipped streamers..."
Chen Han finally responded amid sobs.
What the heck!
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue was shocked!
Misappropriating public funds to tip streamers was nothing new, but Ding Yue could never have imagined that such a thing would happen to a teacher at his own Mist City Arts and Science University!
This was outrageous!
Everyone in the office couldn’t help shaking their heads and sighing upon hearing what Chen Han had said; they couldn’t believe he had used two million yuan of funds to tip a livestreamer.
It was simply incomprehensible!
"Mr. Chen Han, how could you do something so foolish? Misappropriating school funds is a crime, do you know that?" Director Chen Yilin angrily condemned.
Chen Han remained silent.
He was over forty and clearly understood that misappropriating public funds was a criminal act, but he had ultimately done so. Like Chen Han, those who had done the same in the past knew they shouldn’t, but they just couldn’t... resist the temptation?
"Take him away, the school will dismiss you immediately!"
Ding Yue said in a cold, merciless tone.
After that, he had the officers take Chen Han away immediately; whatever followed would be dealt with accordingly, sparing no sympathy for such an individual.
"Xiao Wen, please inform the Academic Affairs Office to issue a notice of Chen Han’s dismissal for public announcement across the entire school!"
Ding Yue instructed his secretary, Wen Ruohan.
People like him must be urgently expelled from the teaching staff of Mist City Arts and Science University!
Indeed, this was the first time Mist City Arts and Science University had ever directly dismissed a teacher!
"Principal Ding, I have been negligent in this matter and am willing to accept the school’s punishment," said Chen Yilin, stepping forward to take responsibility.
After all, Chen Han was a teacher in her Business School, and as the head of the department, she certainly couldn’t deny her responsibility.
"Director Chen, we’ll talk about your issue later. Call in the Academic Affairs Office as well as all the department heads for a meeting to discuss the establishment of an internal supervision group at our school."
Ding Yue was not in a hurry to discipline Director Chen Yilin at this moment.
His vision had turned long-term. After such an incident, it was clear that a mechanism to prevent future occurrences needed to be established.
Otherwise, even if Chen Han’s case would alert all the teachers in the school, who could ensure that another such incident wouldn’t happen in a few years?
Corruption also existed in universities, especially in privately-owned ones like Mist City Arts and Science University, where the temptation of "grease" at the lower levels could lead to mistakes.
Therefore.
The establishment of an internal supervision group was urgent.
The purpose of the supervision group would be to serve as a baseline monitor for all university staff, overseeing not only financial matters but also moral character, and to deal immediately with any misconduct that was discovered.
Before, Ding Yue had been preoccupied with developing Mist City Arts and Science University and had neglected the need to enhance the quality of the university’s staff.
People like Chen Han were absolutely unacceptable at Mist City Arts and Science University.
Thus.
Wen Ruohan immediately began contacting the Academic Affairs Office, all department heads, and other department leaders, such as Director Huang Youjie of the Logistics Department and Director Xu Bin of the Administration Department, to come to the meeting.
"Yue, what’s the emergency for calling a meeting? I heard police came and took one of our teachers away. What happened?" inquired Huang Youjie, whose curiosity was strong.
"If you really want to know, come over and I’ll tell you. I’ve asked Miss An to go to the press conference site to handle the aftermath; you come here for the meeting," replied Ding Yue.
After all, Huang Youjie was the Director of Logistics at Mist City Arts and Science University, while An Yujia was the CEO of Feiyue Group and did not hold other positions at the university; therefore, Ding Yue called Huang back and asked An Yujia to go there.
It took about half an hour before all the department heads and leaders of Mist City Arts and Science University, several dozen people in total, arrived in the Number One conference room of the Administration Building.
Ding Yue had been in a fairly good mood earlier that day; after all, the launch of Feiyue Future’s new energy vehicle had gone very smoothly, which was set to revolutionize the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
He believed that once the pre-sale started, the volume would be astonishing.
However, the sudden incident at the school made Ding Yue realize that the teaching and staff team of Mist City Arts and Science University needed to be rectified.
Establishing a supervision group to prevent the staff from making mistakes and to identify those of poor character early was essential to purify the teaching workforce of Mist City Arts and Science University. Otherwise, there would only be murkiness hidden beneath the surface.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s meeting has only one agenda item, and that is to improve the moral quality of our teaching staff at Mist City Arts and Science University and establish a supervision mechanism. Let Director Chen tell you guys about the case of Chen Han, our teacher from the Business School..."
Ding Yue began the meeting.
