Chapter 45 The scapegoat
The two girls walked into the school and walked through the playground but stopped walking because Alice met several classmates.
"Yo, isn't this our 'Cinderella' Alice? I heard you were fired?"
"Alice, where is your prince? Why didn't he pick you up?"
"Hmph, what prince? He's just an 11-year-old child, but he's still a prince? Maybe that child would have forgotten our Cinderella for a long time. Aren't children all forgetful? Haha--"
...
Lucy looked at Alice's classmates and was very angry.
"What are you doing? Why do you mock Alice like this? Are you a classmate like this? Don't you know that Alice is also a victim?"
"Forget it, Lucy!" Alice stopped Lucy and prevented her from continuing.
After a few classmates sarcastically speaking, they passed by the two girls and left.
After all, they are college students, not gangsters, and it is impossible for them to be as silly as if they were stubborn.
As for why they laughed at Alice, it was very simple. Because their families were from Leeds, their father's company suffered heavy losses in this cyber attack.
Blocking people's wealth is like killing parents. They can't find watermelon to scold, so they can only laugh at Alice.
Of course, they just vented a few words verbally, and they wouldn't do anything else to Alice. After all, it's not common in this world, not to mention these college students with higher education.
...
"Alice, you are so weak!" Lucy said to Alice indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Alice comforted: "Forget it, forget it, they are not intentional either. Let's go!"
Lucy had no choice but to continue walking towards the administrative building with Alice...
Administration Building.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Alice knocked on the door of the administrative office. After hearing the sound of "please come in", the two women pushed the door and walked in.
"You are..." After the desk, the executive director looked up at the two women, swallowing them before he finished speaking. Because, he saw Alice.
Recently, Ike has been making a prodigy every day, and he has also recorded Alice's appearance.
"Alice, you're finally here! Let's sit!" The executive director pointed to the chair in front of the desk and asked the two women to sit down.
But the two women did not sit.
"Sir, can you talk to the principal? Can you please don't fire me? Please! Really, I love this school very much!" Alice begged, her eyes full of expectation.
Beside her, Lucy also spoke to her best friend: "Sir, Alice is also a victim! And Alice works very hard, please don't fire her, okay?"
Hearing the two women begging for mercy, the executive director shook his head.
"This is the decision of the school board! Even the principal can do nothing!"
What? School Board? Why do their high-ranking figures come to make things difficult for us ordinary people? Why, why?
"Sir, please, I really don't want to leave school! I'm just in my sophomore year. If I leave school and go out to find a job now, no company will ask me! Sir, please, please..."
Alice was crying and kept begging. She didn't want to give up the slightest hope.
Lucy also helped Alice plead with her.
Unfortunately, all this is useless. The Executive Director still shook his head and said, "Alice, I feel very sympathetic to your experience. However, I really can't do anything. After the incident, I also carefully read your information. Although your academic performance is only average, you work very hard, which makes me admire."
"If it weren't for the above order, the principal and I would never have fired you. Unfortunately, we cannot resist the decision made by the school board."
Speaking of this, the Executive Director stood up and looked down at Alice and apologized.
"Alice, I'm sorry, the school failed to protect its students. This apology was entrusted by the principal to convey to you."
"Why? Why does the school board make things difficult for ordinary students like me?" Alice asked unwillingly.
Hearing this question, the Executive Director sighed in his heart, these two girls are still not well-educated.
"This is because of capital and politics! The board of directors of the school board are all big capitalists, and their assets have suffered heavy losses in the Leeds incident. In terms of politics, because of the strength of the US government, there is no news about the city's compensation plan until now."
"Capitalists can't find the child and dare not look for him! The Chinese government has no choice but to do anything to the United States! So-"
"You have become a scapegoat!"
As soon as these words came out, Alice's eyes were filled with despair, extremely desperate.
It turns out that this is the anger of the entire Leeds capital world. How can I bear it? Perhaps I am lucky that I am not dead yet.
£30 billion, haha, how can I afford to compensate?
Alice smiled self-deprecatingly, then bowed to the Executive Director: "Sir, thank you for your explanation! I understand!"
Lucy next to her no longer spoke because nothing was useful.
At this time, the administrative director took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and the words "Apply for Exit School" at the top were extremely dazzling.
"Alice, here is an application for withdrawal. You can sign it. If you are expelled directly, the stain will accompany you throughout your life. This is the only thing the school can do for you."
Alice nodded, showing her understanding, then picked up a pen and signed her name on the application.
With the last stroke, Alice has no relationship with Leeds City University since then. Her resume of "dropping out" will accompany her for the rest of her life.
...
After saying goodbye to the administrative director, the two women walked out of the office and headed towards the dormitory. She wanted to pack up her personal belongings and then leave the school...
Alice walked and stopped all the way, looking around. Her beautiful eyes were filled with reluctance, and she wanted to engrave the scenery of the school in her heart forever.
Lucy, who was accompanying Alice, was about to cry.
Why is this happening? Why does that watermelon hurt Alice like this?
Time passes minute by minute, no matter how slow the two women walk, the road will always be completed.
The two girls returned to the dormitory to pack up their things.
Alice had very few things, except for a little toiletries, all the other clothes were only in one suitcase.
Drag the suitcase downstairs, then walk through the playground and out of the school.
In front of the school gate, Alice couldn't help but look back again and finally looked at her alma mater.
At this moment, crystal tears flowed out from Alice's eyes, and then quietly slid across her beautiful face and fell to the ground...
Farewell forever, my teacher; goodbye forever, my alma mater!
