Chapter 38: Those who don’t seek death won’t die (Part One)
However, Finn Lewis had no idea that at that moment, the jerk he was talking about was in Robert Green’s office. “Headmaster Green, I don’t understand!
Why do we allow such a student to stay in our school?!” Robert Thomp asked Robert Green.
“Director Thomp, if we want to expel a student, we should conduct detailed investigations. Moreover, it has been proven that Lewis’s money was earned by himself, not acquired through illegal means. Therefore, we have no reason to expel him,” Robert Green replied, his face serious.
Although Robert Thomp had connections at higher places, Robert Green wasn’t afraid of him. He just didn’t want to make trouble. Some matters could be overlooked and then forgotten.
But in the matter of Finn Lewis, Robert Green could never let Robert Thomp have his way. It wasn’t because he had a good relationship with Finn, but because he had seen the source of Finn’s assets. Expel a man worth more than 30 billion Federation coins from school? Kid, do you really think money gives you the freedom to be willful? Besides, F University is short of cash.
Robert Green did not want to become a laughingstock nationwide because of Robert Thomp. If he really followed Robert Thomp’s suggestion and expelled Finn, he would be the one laughed at. He didn’t intend to damage his reputation for someone else’s sake. Besides, Robert Thomp was not a good guy.
“Headmaster Green, I disagree with your decision to allow such students to remain in our school, becoming a black sheep among us!” Robert Thomp said and left, regardless of Robert Green’s reaction.
Watching Robert Thomp’s retreating figure, Robert Green opened his mouth to say something, but said nothing, letting him leave. A head of department quarreling with a student would be embarrassing if word got out. He wasn’t worried about Finn Lewis, as without his consent, Finn couldn’t possibly be expelled by F University. As for Robert Thomp’s connections, he wasn’t worried about them either, as they had no influence over F University.
He put up with Robert Thomp because, as headmaster, he was a part of the system and preferred not to offend people unnecessarily.
Robert Green didn’t attach importance to this matter, but Robert Thomp, who left the Headmaster’s office, viewed it differently. He had already accepted Yuri Lucas’s money, initially believing it to be an effortless task. Just a poor student from a peasant family, with no power or background. Even if his money was earned, it made insignificant difference. Meager two million wouldn’t influence anything.
For F University, a student earning a few million wouldn’t affect the university’s decision. Many students graduated from F University and became millionaires a few years later. Even billionaires were not rare.
But who would have thought that something that seemed so certain would go awry at the last moment! All was going well until Robert Green changed his mind at the last minute! Just because that poor boy earned two million? Yet Robert Thomp was secretly furious.
Partly because of Yuri Lucas’s money, but also because Finn Lewis had not shown him any respect in the office. He had insulted him in front of so many people and laid bare many of his dirty secrets. To make things worse, they were eavesdropped and posted on the school’s forum by the students outside the window! It spread rapidly among the students!
Though the audio clip on the school forum was deleted, it circulated widely among students on social networks, including QQgroup chats! To be sure, Finn Lewis was now infamous but Robert Thomp had also become a laughingstock among all students. Walking around, he always felt that the passing students and professors were mocking him.
This made Robert Thomp very jealous and he started hating Finn Lewis from the bottom of his heart! Even without Yuri Lucas’s one million, he declared, the school will have me, not him!
Reticence on expelling Finn Lewis gave Robert Thomp a headache, since Robert Green was headmaster of the school.
While walking back to his office, Robert Thomp kept thinking about how to expel the garbage student who dared not respect him from F University. As he approached his office, an idea suddenly popped into his head! He might not be able to make decisions at the school level, but he was in charge of decisions at the department level.
If he took action first and explained later, he couldn’t expel Finn Lewis, but he could give Finn a severe reprimand and put him on probation. And he could directly post the announcement for the entire school to see. By the time the school knew, it would be too late, as the department’s announcement would be out. The school wouldn’t undermine its own authority.
Then, the school would only have one option: to accept the department’s punishment. Once Finn received such a serious penalty, wouldn’t it be easy to deal with him later? As for the school’s opinion of him, Robert Thomp didn’t care anymore. He never aspired to further his career at this school. As for the rest, he didn’t believe the school would do anything to him over a mere student.
If it led to a rift with Robert Green, then so be it. Robert Thomp had never held Robert Green in high regard anyway. As head of the department, he had a say in these two penalties. Technically, it fell within his rights and was not excessive. It’s just that other department heads wouldn’t dare to oppose the school’s opinion. With this thought in mind, Robert Thomp hurried to his office.
Once back in his office, Robert Thomp immediately arranged for it to be done. It must be done quickly, otherwise, once the news spread, Robert Green would definitely not let him do this. Though Robert Thomp wasn’t a high-ranking official at the school, due to his background he held considerable authority in the department.
He had quite a group of bootlickers, making him significantly influential within the department. Back in his office, he called in trusted individuals and delegated this task to them.
Although it was a challenging task, they eventually agreed after Robert Thomp reassured them and promised various benefits.
Half an hour later, an announcement appeared on the computer department’s notice board and was posted on the school’s forum, and was also sent to Finn Lewis’s class.
.. it was found that Finn Lewis, a student from the computer science department, conducted himself improperly during his time at the school, lacked respect for his teachers, and was morally depraved. After consultations between the department and the school, according to school regulations, Finn Lewis is officially put on probation, and given a major demerit..” Once this decision was circulated in the Computer Science Department and F University, it caused quite an uproar!
