As soon as Principal Gu finished speaking, the people below, each with their own thoughts, began to laugh.

Speaking of Professor He, he was a genius at the school and a master in the field of pharmacy back then. However, for the past ten years, he has been researching something and has not produced anything for the Empire.

Furthermore, since he had not given any public lectures for many years and had no students, things naturally became a different story with the help of certain individuals.

Especially given the limited school resources and his occupation of the largest laboratory for pharmacists, it naturally led others to say that he had run out of ideas.

Not showing up in this kind of situation now would only give others ammunition against them.

Gu Luobing stared coldly at the person who was laughing until the other person was too embarrassed to laugh anymore.

"No matter what, Professor He was once a pioneer in the field of pharmacists. I don't know what talents some people have besides sticking to old ways, and where they get their shameless smiles."

Gu Luobing is very protective of her husband; how could she allow others to talk about him?

Principal Gu tapped on the table, signaling Gu Luobing to be quiet.

Also, to avoid the other party continuing to speak, he had been too lazy to manage the school in recent years. If the other party didn't know when to stop, then...

"The main purpose of this meeting today is to discuss the issue of the Imperial Military Academy's enrollment numbers decreasing year by year in recent years. What are everyone's thoughts?"

Gu Luobing didn't actually have much affection for this father, or at least she didn't really understand him. She grew up with the help of a nanny robot during her childhood.

Therefore, she mostly dealt with the other party in a business-like manner. When the other party said this, she immediately frowned. This was not a veiled criticism of her management mistakes.

"The decrease in enrollment is mainly due to the declining birth rate in the Empire. In addition, there are now more than just our military academies. The Empire is currently in a period of peace, and schools adhere to the principle of 'quality over quantity,' so the decrease in enrollment is understandable."

Gu Luobing's subordinates also stepped forward, "Minister Gu is right, Principal, this is not a big deal."

Principal Gu half-closed his eyes, glanced at his daughter who was arguing vehemently, and remained calm and composed.

“It’s not a big deal, but the other military academies are not as good as ours, yet they keep competing with us for students. It’s not a reasonable solution for us to keep sticking to our old ways.”

"So I announced the expansion of enrollment on the official website. Moreover, this expansion is open to the entire empire, regardless of race, and the age limit is under thirty. What I want to tell you is that I need a group of instructors to help these freshmen catch up with the first-year curriculum within six months."

The other instructors exchanged glances, said nothing, and waited for Gu Luobing to step forward.

really.

“I disagree with this. There are too many students and the school has too few instructors. Moreover, your requirements for expanding enrollment are too low. The college has never done this before. It is easy to exacerbate conflicts among students and is not conducive to student management.”

Gu Luobing wanted to continue talking, but the principal tapped the table, signaling her to be quiet.

"This matter does not require your consent. This is my college, and I make the decisions. I just need you to carry it out. Also, throw students who do not have enough credits and are going to be demoted into this selection process as well. In the end, the same number of students will remain as the current freshmen. Those who fail will be expelled directly."

"You—! You're so autocratic!"

Gu Luobing was pulled aside, and in the end, she only said this sentence in a huff before sitting down.

Even after being spoken to like that by his own daughter, Principal Gu remained calm.

"Thank you for the compliment."
