Chapter 182 A Mysterious Man Appears, the Principal Punishes the Great Villain

"Tsk, I already told her she's leading a research project, and the results will belong to you. You're the one in charge, so how did you still manage to cause so much trouble?"

The principal's tone was full of impatience.

Wang Rui felt utterly wronged. "I already tried to stop her, but she threatened me, saying that if I dared to interfere again, she would bring people to my door to retaliate. Principal, our school has been educating people for a century. Are we really going to let a woman control us?"

He just couldn't understand it; all those kings, nobles, and generals throughout history were men.

Why should the new era shout the slogan that women can hold up half the sky? Women are supposed to do laundry and cook. It is already a great blessing to let them go to school. Do they want to ride on men's heads?

Wang Rui gripped the phone receiver tightly, her tone full of deliberate intent, "Principal, she brought so many outsiders to the school, this is all disrespect to you, you can't just let it go, she even brought her daughter here, a little kid like her joining in the fun, if you don't come back soon, Suzhou University will become a nursery!"

"Alright, alright! It's not as exaggerated as you say. I have urgent business to attend to right now. It's not allowed for Deng Qiu to bring her daughter. Just ask the security guard to ask her to leave. Don't bother me. I'll go back to school after I'm done with what I have to do here."

After hanging up the phone, the principal sighed helplessly.

He was too lazy to argue with Wang Rui, and he was even more annoyed with Deng Qiu.

All they do is create a bunch of troubles for themselves to clean up.

He looked at the inspection team members sitting on the sofa in the office, and put on a fawning smile.

"Where were we? I got so caught up in the phone call that I forgot everything. How about we go to a restaurant? It's getting late, let's order a big one..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man in the middle wearing a black Zhongshan suit suddenly interrupted him.

"I just heard you say on the phone that there were children at the school? Aren't teachers allowed to bring children here?"

The principal paused for a second, then shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, we have a teacher named Deng Qiu at our school. She probably took the child to the experimental field. A colleague couldn't stand it and called me. Don't misunderstand, our school still respects women. We were just worried that such a young child would damage the experimental field project."

Deng Qiu... ...

child... ...

The man's hand trembled slightly as he held the lighter to light his cigarette, and he finally managed to light it with great difficulty.

He took a light puff and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Beneath the wisps of white smoke, facial features were obscured and indistinct, but the voice remained as cold and rational as ever.

“Suzhou University wants to develop new research fields, but our research institute is, after all, a high-precision and cutting-edge technology institute. Before I came here, my assistant told me that Suzhou University currently mainly focuses on the development of daily necessities and heavy industrial steel material smelting engineering. Oh, and of course... for your university, the main focus has always been on agricultural production research and development. These are all unrelated to the development areas of our research institute. How can I possibly contact you?”

Upon hearing this, the principal's face showed a rare look of embarrassment.

"However, the quality of students at Suzhou University is quite good. If we can add new research fields related to satellites and rockets in the new year, we can continuously supply talent to your institute. This would be our honor, and we hope to achieve a win-win result with your institute. Why don't you reconsider?"

"Seeing is believing. Since we're already here, why not go and check it out on the school?"

The man spoke calmly, and after he finished speaking, he gestured with his chin towards Xiao Wu beside him.

Xiao Wu immediately understood. "Principal, let's go take a look. Didn't you mention the experimental field on the phone? Let's go check it out over there."

"This... ...okay."

The principal stood up nervously and gestured for him to proceed.

I went downstairs and got into the research institute's black sedan, which drove all the way from the office building to the northernmost experimental field.

Throughout the journey, the principal carefully observed the expression on this important figure's face.

He kept reflecting on what he had said wrong that made him angry.

After all, the other party had shown a strong willingness to cooperate before that phone call.

This sudden interruption... wait!

Could it be that Wang Rui's phone call made them think that Suzhou University was just a makeshift organization?

As the car drove past the experimental field, rows of transparent greenhouses had been rebuilt over the more than 30 acres of land, making it look very neat and uniform from a distance. On the other side, the sprouting soil was completely covered with black mulch.

The principal got off the bus first, then turned around to call them to get off and take a look.

After getting off the bus, Xiao Wu grinned and blocked the principal's view.

“Our leader’s identity is a state secret, so it’s not convenient for him to meet with outsiders. Let me go with you so we can see what advanced technologies we have in agricultural science and learn from them.”

"Oh, okay!"

The principal nodded repeatedly, "This way, please."

"--headmaster!"

When Wang Rui saw the principal's figure in the distance, he immediately perked up and waved frantically, pointing in this direction.

"Please come quickly!"

The principal was startled when he saw the rows of outsiders at the grocery store.

He strode towards Wang Rui.

"The outsiders you're talking about, are they the ones?!"

Wang Rui nodded firmly, "Yes! You should kick them out quickly!"

Upon hearing Wang Rui's words, the soldiers all stood up, their unfriendly gazes falling on the principal.

When the principal saw this group of people in military uniforms, he almost fainted from shock.

"Are you... are you sick in the head?!"

Why couldn't you explain it clearly over the phone?!

Why didn't they tell themselves that it was people from the military region who came? Isn't that ridiculous?

When Deng Qiu saw the principal appear, she was not flustered at all. Instead, she stood up and calmly explained, "Principal, these are my husband's comrades-in-arms. They came to help. I applied to you before that the experimental field needed greenhouse covering to increase crop yield this year. He had people dismantle all the greenhouses in my experimental field, and the seeds almost froze to death. That's why I found people to help cover them up."

She paused for a moment, then glanced at Wang Rui.

"Professor Wang was resentful and repeatedly warned and threatened me, forbidding me from using the greenhouse. He even said that he would be in trouble when you came. Principal... This is an experimental project I proposed. If he interferes and interrupts it like this, my experiment cannot be carried out. You make the decision."

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Wang Rui, feeling guilty, could only resort to raising his voice to bluff, "I did it all for the principal, for the whole school! I said that dismantling the greenhouses was for better research, and that's right!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The principal glanced at the crowd and, just by looking at the ranks on the shoulders of the people standing at the front, knew that they must be of very high rank.

He's not someone he can afford to mess with.

He couldn't help but feel annoyed with Wang Rui. How blind must he be to offend so many people?

The principal glared at Wang Rui with wide eyes, his chest heaving with anger. He raised his hand and slapped Wang Rui on the head.

"Are you out of your mind?! You exaggerated and distorted the truth over the phone, giving me a long, fabricated account!"
