Disciplinary Action

Looking at her phone, at the last second of the fifteen minutes, Zhong Yunxin pushed open the door.

As a noble school, the student council office of Eastern Township Academy was quite spacious, and in addition to housing the office desks, sofas, and cabinets, there was also a lounge.

In the outer room on the sofa, Xia Yu and the Feng sisters were drinking tea.

Zhong Yunxin approached Xia Yu cautiously and obediently awaited her scolding.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Xia Yu looked at Zhong Yunxin's neatly dressed appearance and her clean, refreshed face, and nodded.

He looked at Feng Yujia, who got up from the sofa, went to the office desk, and took out a shoulder badge.

The Eastern Township emblem was painted on the shoulder badge, with the words "Eastern Township Student Council" written below.

Feng Yujia handed the shoulder badge to Xia Yu, who then attached it to Zhong Yunxin's sleeve.

"What is this for?" Zhong Yunxin was confused. She knew it was the Eastern Township Student Council armband, but what was the purpose of giving it to her?

"From today on, you are a member of the student council, and your position is disciplinary committee member," Xia Yu said.

Zhong Yunxin was taken aback, her mind flashed with thoughts of being pulled aside for punishment, but she didn't feel that was the case.

"This is the school's regulations system. You should study it carefully, and if there's anyone who breaks the rules, note it down and report it," Xia Yu said, patting Zhong Yunxin on the shoulder and showing her a smile.

After saying this, he allowed Zhong Yunxin to leave.

Zhong Yunxin pondered for a day but couldn't figure out Xia Yu's intentions.

However, in order to appease Xia Yu, she still flipped through the school rules.

The next day at noon, she was still thinking about the matter.

Ten girls who took pleasure in bullying her exchanged glances, and one of them walked past her with a teacup, pretending to have an unsteady hand, splashing the tea towards Zhong Yunxin's table.

Although preoccupied, Zhong Yunxin was still alert enough to notice the girl approaching. Seeing the teacup falling, she quickly reached out to catch it.

Had she not tried to catch it, the teacup would have fallen on the table. But in grabbing it, she knocked it further, causing the tea to spill on herself.

Seeing the soaked Zhong Yunxin, the girl's face turned pale, as she hadn't planned to go that far.

At that moment, Zhong Yunxin couldn't help herself and grabbed the girl by the collar, standing up.

...

When Xia Yu arrived after receiving the news, he saw Zhong Yunxin and eight girls facing off. Two of the girls were too timid to stand up.

Already knowing what had happened from others, Xia Yu didn't ask any more questions. He said to the two inconspicuous girls who came with him from the student council, "Take the girl that Zhong Yunxin is holding."

The two girls didn't hesitate and went to the sides of the girl who had splashed the water: "Please."

Zhong Yunxin released the girl's collar. She didn't dare to fight back - even with ten people reduced to eight, she still couldn't win, and there was also Xia Yu's warning beforehand.

"What are you doing!" Seeing the student council taking away her companion, the tall girl who was the leader of the ten girls stepped forward.

She stood in front of Xia Yu, saying, "Rongrong just accidentally spilled water nearby, don't you ever have a slip of the hand? Why are you arresting her!"

"Cough, since it's a slip of the hand, it's understandable. Let her apologize." The class teacher rushed over and spoke to Xia Yu.

Seeing that she had the teacher's support, the tall girl became smug.

"Who said I brought her here because of the water splashing?" Xia Yu said.

The tall girl's face stiffened, "If it's not because of the water splashing, then why did you bring Rongrong here?"

Xia Yu waved at Zhong Yunxin, and she immediately came to his side.

Pinching the lace trim of the water-splashing girl's clothes, Xia Yu asked Zhong Yunxin, "What does Article 36 of the school rules say?"

Zhong Yunxin didn't remember the details, but she guessed which rule Xia Yu was referring to based on the situation at hand.

She answered, "Wearing luxurious and frivolous clothes is not allowed."

Xia Yu pulled the water-splashing girl's short skirt and asked, "What about Article 52?"

"Skirts are not allowed to be shorter than two centimeters below the knee." Zhong Yunxin replied.

"Also, the water cup, according to Article 60 of the school rules, one must not carry unpacked food while walking." Xia Yu turned his head and looked at the tall girl, "Now do you understand why?"

The tall girl's face turned pale. She didn't expect Xia Yu to address the issue in this manner. Although the school rules were in place, they hadn't been enforced since Feng Yujia took office.

She looked at the class teacher, who turned her face away. She couldn't dare question the school rules, as the rules were laid down by the school board.

The tall girl had no choice but to step aside and make way.

But Xia Yu did not let her leave, "Wait, your act of wearing earrings also violates school rules, come over here too."

The tall girl's face turned even paler, she pointed to her other two companions, "They also wear them!"

Great! Xia Yu secretly cheered for her in his heart. He liked her attitude of digging her own grave.

Looking back at the other two girls, Xia Yu pretended to have just noticed them and called them into the student union office.

Xia Yu couldn't impose severe punishment on the four students, but it didn't matter. Light punishment and heavy punishment were only physically different. The light punishment could be mentally heavy.

Taking out the school rules, Xia Yu educated them. Education in itself made no difference, but the act of educating was something superiors did to subordinates, which would subconsciously lower the girls' position in front of Xia Yu.

After the education, Xia Yu threw down the small school rules booklet, "Each of you will write a 500-word self-criticism, hand-written, and submit it tomorrow."

The four of them lowered their heads and obeyed.

"By the way, since you reported two people, you don't have to write one." Xia Yu said to the tall girl.

The tall girl was momentarily glad, but after seeing the angry faces of her two companions whom she had reported, she sensed something was wrong.

The still naïve tall girl couldn't understand Xia Yu's psychological tactics all at once.

After sending the four girls away, Xia Yu called Zhong Yunxin over. Zhong Yunxin had already returned to her dormitory and changed her clothes.

Zhong Yunxin looked at Xia Yu with admiration in her eyes. She felt that what Xia Yu did was the same as what she had done before. Just find an excuse, and you could take a student away for teaching—how great that was.

Moreover, the teaching was done openly, in front of the teacher.

"Where is your shoulder badge?" Xia Yu looked at Zhong Yunxin's arm.

"Here it is." Zhong Yunxin hurriedly took out the armband from her pocket.

Xia Yu pinned the shoulder badge on Zhong Yunxin's body and patted her on the shoulder: "You are now a mature discipline committee member, and I don't need to personally invite people for such a matter."

Zhong Yunxin thought for three seconds, and her eyes lit up.

She was not a foolish person. After thoroughly studying the school rules, she took action.

The ten people who bullied her were already very careful to avoid getting caught, but Zhong Yunxin could still pick out new school rules from the wording.

The ten people gave up resisting and dared not to provoke Zhong Yunxin again.

Zhong Yunxin's head teacher was a bit emotional, so she went to Xia Yu.
