letter of complaint

One week later.

Kyoto University, President's Office.

The principal, wearing reading glasses and with a furrowed brow, read the letter of complaint twice.

The letter reported Ye Wanqing from his own school, and also implicated the Xue family, who had deep connections in Shanghai, and the Xiao family, who lived in Beijing, forcing him to be cautious.

The anonymous letter involves issues of conduct, which are very serious matters in this day and age and must be thoroughly investigated.

He immediately convened a small, emergency meeting with the vice-principal in charge of student affairs and the counselors.

...

Ye Wanqing was called to the counselor's office the next afternoon.

When she pushed open the office door and sensed the unusually heavy atmosphere inside, her heart skipped a beat.

The department head, the counselor, and a serious-looking female teacher were all present.

"Ye Wanqing, please sit down." The department head gestured to the chair opposite him, his tone relatively calm, but his eyes held a scrutinizing look.

Ye Wanqing sat down as instructed, her hands unconsciously clasped together, her mind racing with countless speculations.

"Teacher, is there something you need from me?"

The female teacher spoke up, "I'm a teacher from the Discipline Inspection Commission. I've called you here today to verify some information. Recently, the school received a letter alleging misconduct in your personal life."

After saying that, the female teacher handed the letter to Ye Wanqing. Ye Wanqing took the letter, quickly glanced at its contents, and was furious.

Judging from the handwriting, the letter seems to be written by Su Xiaorou. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Su Xiaorou since the supply and marketing cooperative went bankrupt.

I never expected it to cause trouble here.

Ye Wanqing forced herself to calm down, raised her head, and looked at the teachers with clear eyes. "The contents of this letter of complaint are all unfounded. My behavior is absolutely in line with the norms of a college student."

The teacher ignored her statement and continued to question her according to procedure, "The whistleblower letter says that you have been involved with multiple men such as Zhou Zhiyuan, Xue Mubai, Gao Yu, Gu Mohan, and Xiao Heng, and that your private life is chaotic. Are these things true?"

Ye Wanqing's heart sank. She knew that such accusations of misconduct were enough to ruin a student's future in the 1980s.

"Teacher, the contents of the whistleblower letter are seriously untrue and constitute slander and defamation against my personal reputation."

“Zhou Zhiyuan and I were engaged, but after the engagement was called off, we had no further relationship.”

“As for Gao Yu,” Ye Wanqing paused, “he was my driver before, and later he became one of my contracted artists.”

"Gu Mohan was indeed my boyfriend, but we broke up because of personality differences."

"As for Xiao Heng, we are just pretending to be a couple."

"As for Xue Mubai, he has been pursuing me, but I have never agreed to be with him."

"I am currently single."

The department head and counselor's expressions softened slightly.

However, the female teacher in charge of discipline inspection was clearly not going to draw a conclusion easily: "Ye Wanqing, we will record your explanation. But the whistleblower letter has had a bad influence, and the school needs to conduct a further investigation. During the investigation, we hope you will cooperate actively and reduce unnecessary contact with people outside the school."

This is tantamount to a disguised form of "observation" and "restriction".

"I accept the organization's investigation and believe that the organization will clear my name." Ye Wanqing stood up, bowed to the teachers, and maintained a dignified yet respectful demeanor.

"Okay, the school will not wrong any good student, nor will it forgive any student with bad behavior. You go back first, and we will talk to the relevant person in charge."

Stepping out of the department office, Ye Wanqing felt a cold sweat break out on her back. The sunlight was a bit dazzling; this bucket of dirty water, once poured out, wouldn't be so easy to wash clean.

Meanwhile, rumors that Ye Wanqing had "problematic lifestyle" and was "under investigation by the school" had begun to spread in some corners of the campus.

That evening, Zhou Zhiyuan cornered Ye Wanqing at the dormitory entrance.

"Wanqing, I have something to tell you."

"What are you saying? Speak your mind or shut up."

"Ye Wanqing. Your romantic escapades have spread throughout the school. The school will soon be asking me to investigate. If you're willing to get back together with me, I'll definitely put in a good word for you."

Ye Wanqing looked up at him, seeing his smug expression, and immediately sneered, "Zhou Zhiyuan, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person who kicks someone when they're down."

Zhou Zhiyuan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled, "Wanqing, don't say that. I just want to be with you."

"Hehe, this is the first time I've seen someone describe kicking someone when they're down in such a refined and elegant way." Ye Wanqing pushed him aside and went into the dormitory.

Zhou Zhiyuan jumped up and down in anger, yelling, "Wanqing! You'll regret this!"

Since Ye Wanqing refuses to agree, then he shouldn't blame her.

The school is currently speaking with the person involved, and it will be his turn soon.

Then he can turn the tables and say that Ye Wanqing has been harassing him!

He'll come out as the savior once Ye Wanqing has truly become a rat that everyone hates!

Then no one will be able to compete with him for Ye Wanqing!

Ye Wanqing returned to her dormitory. Her roommates all started gossiping about her.

Chi Li said with a disdainful tone, "Oh my, so you still know how to come back. Didn't you sleep with some random guy before coming back?"

Ye Wanqing didn't tolerate it and stepped forward to slap him across the face.

Who are you talking about?

"I'm talking about you, so what?" Chi Li slapped him as well, but Ye Wanqing grabbed her wrist.

"You probably don't even know your father! Your father's been arrested, and what are you still so proud of! Do you still think you're the dean's daughter?"

Previously, her father, Chi Qiang, was arrested and expelled for misconduct as a teacher and for sexually harassing female students.

Chi Li's face immediately turned bruised and purple, as if her shameful secret had been exposed. She sneered, "I may not be good enough, but what about you? Your reputation is terrible now, you're like a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to kill you. What right do you have to talk about me?"

"Then let's destroy everything together! Who's afraid of who? You want to step on me? I'm not someone to be trifled with."

After saying that, Ye Wanqing grabbed Chi Li's head and pressed her down onto the bed.

Chi Li was furious but helpless. Ye Wanqing held her down firmly, and in the end, she could only beg for mercy. "I was wrong, I won't say anything more, okay?"

"Then watch your mouth. If you do that again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Ye Wanqing then released her.

Li Guo quickly stepped forward, "Wanqing, I believe you. You're not that kind of fickle woman."

"Thank you, Guo'er," Ye Wanqing said gratefully.

...

The school did indeed find Zhou Zhiyuan for a talk to understand the situation, and Zhou Zhiyuan immediately distanced himself from the matter.

"Ye Wanqing was indeed my fiancée before, but after we broke off the engagement, we had no contact. Later, I tried to win her back, but unfortunately she was too fickle. She couldn't resist handsome men and fell in love with every one she met."

Zhou Zhiyuan added fuel to the fire.
