Chapter 409 If the Complaint is Upheld, I Lose
After Liu Hong left, Qiao Wenbin transferred two hundred yuan to him via WeChat, asking him to tend to his injuries and as a gesture of apology since the attack happened because of him.
"Xiao Bin, about this incident, why does Haiyang want to target you? And what's the deal with Haiyang? Tell me about it," Xu Yang asked.
"Brother Xu Yang, it's better if you don't get involved. Knowing about it won't help, and I'm afraid I won't be able to join you for dinner. I want to go see a teacher first, to figure out how to handle this situation," Qiao Wenbin said bitterly.
"Who says it's useless? Tell me, and I'll help you deal with it," Xu Yang insisted.
"How can you handle it?" Qiao Wenbin asked, shaking his head despondently.
"Let's go have a meal first. While we eat, I'll tell you, and then you can share the details with me," Xu Yang suggested.
"Alright, let's go have dinner then."
Qiao Wenbin thought it over—calling the teacher later would work; if not, he could always go see them tomorrow.
Since Xu Yang was here, they might as well go eat first.
Half an hour later.
A private room in a restaurant next to the school.
"What? You're saying you and a friend have bought our school? You're the biggest shareholder of our school?"

Qiao Wenbin's eyes widened in shock, his face a picture of disbelief.
"Yes, the acquisition deal was signed this afternoon. So, your issue is a minor one for me, I'll help you take care of it."
"Moreover, I absolutely won't allow people like Haiyang in my school."
"If one appears, he'll be dealt with. Only by getting rid of such harmful elements can the school become better."
Xu Yang had just shared his situation to put Qiao Wenbin at ease.
"That's great! Since you're the major shareholder of the school, handling Qiao Wenbin should be no issue at all," Qiao Wenbin said excitedly.
"Now tell me, what exactly happened with this incident, and also clarify Haiyang's situation for me," Xu Yang said.
"Okay…" Qiao Wenbin shared the details, "As for Haiyang's situation, I'm not too clear, I've only heard that his father is very influential, and even the school doesn't dare to mess with him lightly, that's all."
Xu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Really? I'd like to see just how influential his father is."
Qiao Wenbin said, "Brother Yang, now that you're the major shareholder of the school, expelling Haiyang shouldn't be an issue, but Haiyang's dad might not be simple. You should probably investigate thoroughly first, see how to handle it to minimize any negative impact."
Xu Yang nodded: "I understand."
Then, the two of them chatted while they ate.
After they finished eating, Xu Yang already had an idea. He told Qiao Wenbin to go back to the dorm, while he himself stayed at the school gate and dialed the number of the dormitory supervisor, Yao Guanghui.
The call connected quickly.
Qiao Wenbin's voice came through immediately: "Why are you calling again? What do you want this time, to slander Haiyang again? Let me tell you, if you dare to slander Haiyang again, I'll call the police."
Xu Yang sneered, "You ignore a student being beaten up, and I want to complain. Who should I contact to make a complaint?"
"Complain against me?" Yao Guanghui hesitated for a moment on the other end, then let out a scornful laugh, "You've got some nerve. Well, if you want to complain about me, you can go to the head of our school's logistics department. He must have left work by now, you can call him.
I'll send you his name and phone number, so go ahead and complain about me, if you can manage to get me into trouble, I'll admit defeat!"
Having said that, Yao Guanghui promptly hung up the phone.
Soon after, Xu Yang received the names and phone numbers sent to him by Yao Guanghui.
Clearly, Yao Guanghui wasn't afraid of complaints.
Xu Yang smiled and dialed the phone number for Cui Yinnian, the Minister of Logistics.
The call connected quickly.
Xu Yang said directly, "Hello, may I speak to Cui Yinnian, the Minister of Logistics at Jiangcheng Business College?"
Cui Yinnian replied, "That's me. Who are you?"
Xu Yang answered, "I'm a friend of a student from Jiangcheng Business College. I found out that my friend was being bullied in the dormitory, so I called the dormitory management teacher, Yao Guanghui, but he said he wouldn't handle it and told me to go find my friend's counselor tomorrow. I'm outraged by such unprofessional behavior, so I wanted to file a complaint against him.
He gave me your number and said if I wanted to complain about him, I should go through you, so I'm calling you now to tell you directly that I want to file a complaint against him."
Cui Yinnian gave a cold laugh, "You want to file a complaint against Yao Guanghui, you should complain to me, that's correct, but you must follow the official channels. You can't use my private phone number. Understand?"
Xu Yang asked, "How do I go through the official complaint channels?"
Cui Yinnian said, "There's a complaints phone number on the notice board outside the logistics office at our school. Call that number; that's the official way to file a complaint."
Xu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll go through the official complaint channels."
Xu Yang wasn't familiar with Jiangcheng Business College.
But after asking a student, it was easy to find out where the logistics office was located. He quickly found the place.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Indeed, to the right of the door of the logistics office, there was a notice board, and on that board, there was a complaint number.
Xu Yang immediately dialed the complaint number, but the response was that the phone had been disconnected.
Xu Yang called Cui Yinnian again, "Minister Cui, the complaint number has been disconnected."
Cui Yinnian said, "Disconnected? Well, you'll have to find another way to complain. Anyway, you cannot directly call my personal number to complain. If everyone did what you're doing, I don't know how many calls I'd have to answer every day. I wouldn't be able to do anything else. Plus, I'm middle management at the company; often I need to carry out instructions from the school's senior management.
If I were occupied with your call, and it resulted in delayed communication from senior management, causing significant losses, it wouldn't be something you or I could afford, understand?"
Xu Yang furrowed his brow, "If I wanted to file a complaint against you, how should I go about it?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Yinnian on the other end of the phone laughed, "You want to file a complaint against me? Sure, I'll tell you how to do it. There's a suggestion box at the entrance of our school's office building. Write a letter and drop it in there, that's how you can complain about me!"
Complaining about a middle manager at the school wasn't so easy.
Anyway, that's how the management mechanism at Jiangcheng Business College worked, to write a letter to file a complaint.
But as for when the school's senior management would actually see this complaint letter, who knows.
It could be said that the complaint box was basically a decoration.
This was why Cui Yinnian was so confident and unafraid.
He really wasn't scared of complaints, whether they came from students or their parents.
As long as it wasn't made into a big deal, the senior management of the school wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
Xu Yang had come to understand and said, "So what you're saying is that no one can manage you, nor can anyone manage Yao Guanghui, right?"
Cui Yinnian was momentarily startled, then sneered, "Be careful with your words. What do you mean by 'no one can manage me'? I'm just middle management; there are plenty of people who can manage me. However, I still need to tell you that I am not someone who can be managed by a friend of a student like you!"
