Chapter 1052: Face, what face?!

Gu Yin looked around and calmly asked, "So can someone tell me the difference between this VIP area and the regular dining area?"

As soon as Gu Yin asked this question, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Jiang Ci walked over with a smile: "What difference is there? You wouldn't believe us even if we told you. You should experience it for yourself. Let's go."

He then led Gu Yin forward, and Gu Yin followed suit.

After getting the food, Chi Xing and Wen Xin also brought their meals over.

Everyone else sat together in groups, and there was a serious factionalism.

Gu Yin and her two companions were newcomers, and no one knew their backgrounds yet, so no one allowed them to join their teams directly. Gu Yin and her companions were happy to have an easy time.

The three plates were placed together, with the same food and cooking methods; just by looking at them, there was no difference.

Gu Yin picked up her chopsticks and tasted a little of the food the two women had brought over.

After finishing his meal, he tasted the food on his plate again.

"Just as I guessed, none of the food sent from Dabai Mountain is available in the regular dining area, but it's available in the VIP area." Gu Yin has been eating food with spiritual energy for so long that even though she can't see the spiritual energy, she can still distinguish the taste and texture.

Chi Xing nodded: "That's right. When I was getting the food, I looked at the layout of the kitchen. There's a door separating the two dining areas. There's not a trace of spiritual energy in the regular dining area. They're taking all the resources the country provides to everyone and giving them to their own people! The portions are all fixed according to the number of people. There are so many people in the regular dining area, not a single one can eat. And the people in the VIP area can't finish it either. Aren't they afraid of getting stuffed?! It's too much!!"

Gu Yin ate the food on her plate: "The amount here is normal, there's no extra. The rest of the food must have been taken out of the school and kept by someone else."

Previously, food from Dabai Mountain could be distributed to the troops, but now that there is a school for people with superpowers, the distribution of food there has been reduced. Except for special talents and those who have made contributions, no one else receives any.

Someone's eyeing the ingredients from over there.

Chi Xing's eyes widened upon hearing this: "They're incredibly audacious!! The things from Dabai Mountain aren't something they can just keep for themselves! Even the old leaders can't take too much; is Jiangcheng about to turn upside down?!"

“In Jiangcheng, they are practically gods.” Wenxin looked at the others around her, who were all eating ordinary meals. They probably didn’t know that the things that could enhance their abilities had all been taken away by others.

“Let’s eat. We’ll be gone in three days at most. There’s no need to waste time on people like this. We’ll disband the branch school in Jiangcheng. Jin City next door is a good option. We can open a branch school there and have Xiaosheng manage it.”

After Gu Yin quickly finished her meal, the three of them found a secluded spot, and Gu Yin directly called her old boss in Beijing.

"That's how it is. This is a typical case. If this branch school isn't handled properly, other branch schools will definitely follow suit, and then the plan will have to be suspended. I don't care, but whether the country cares or not, I don't know."

Gu Yin irritably tugged at the grass next to the flower bed.

"Yes! I know! They are national treasures, the cornerstones, but they've all retired. Is it so hard not to interfere in these matters? The old leaders' actions are enough to show they're unwilling to retire just like that, but they still have power, don't they? In the past, they were still called upon in meetings and such, we didn't marginalize them. Look at what this means now, taking over the things of Dabai Mountain for themselves. What, only their people can enhance their abilities? Other ordinary people can't? I didn't make this thing for people like them!"

“I’m not angry. I knew this would happen when I was doing all this, so it’s not surprising. I’m just annoyed. We’re all incredibly busy, and my partner is risking his life for the country overseas. It’s one thing for them not to help, but they’re holding us back. It’s so frustrating. Please arrange for someone to come and investigate as soon as possible. If I were to come, I wouldn’t care about saving face or anything like that.”

“You think they’re the face of the country? They’re not! They’re practically parasites on the country now! Fine, fine, you handle it yourself. After you’ve taken care of it, send a notice to my father, Mr. Chu, and have him and Gu Shu open a branch school in Jin City. Let Xiao Sheng oversee it. Okay, fine.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin let out a sigh of relief. The intricacies of officialdom, with all the considerations and worries, were something she really couldn't handle. It was better to leave professional matters to professionals.

"Let's go back to the dorm."

The dormitory here is a one-bedroom, three-living room layout, and the three of them live together without any outsiders.

The afternoon nap was peaceful, but just as everyone finished washing up, several explosions rang out across the campus.

Gu Yin paused for a moment, then immediately ran outside.
