"That was clearly Yuan Zhong! Why didn't you realize that? He even said his name was Chen Zhong. Who are you trying to fool!"
As she left the canteen, Molly almost cursed, because she would still recognize Yuan Zhong even if he turned to ashes for all the messes that had happened during her time in the countryside.
"Don't worry, now that he's shown up, we'll definitely have another chance to meet. He'll eventually reveal his true colors. But right now, my priority is to get into college."
Jiang Wanqing spoke slowly and deliberately. As soon as she said that, Molly realized what she meant and was about to agree when she felt worried. She stopped and took Jiang Wanqing's hand.
"Have you thought about what to do? The reports are only in the next couple of days, what if..."
She dared not say anything unlucky, and Jiang Wanqing understood what she meant, so she shook her head.
"Don't worry about me, I have a plan."
"Alright then, you've always been decisive and resourceful, so I'll wait for your good news. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know, don't hesitate!"
"Yes, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Hehe." Molly finally felt relieved.
Because there was no news coverage, Jiang Wanqing was unable to check in and had to continue staying at the guesthouse. She didn't even cause a scene at the school, but quietly disappeared from Guo Xueyun's sight.
Two days passed quickly, and the school's registration process was about to end. Those who had not completed all the procedures and had not yet registered would be considered to have automatically forfeited their admission.
However, just as Guo Xueyun was preparing lessons for the new semester, a sudden notice made her scream.
The college dean received a report that Guo Xueyun embezzled student subsidies, neglected her duties, lost student admission notices, and coerced and induced students to give up their admission qualifications!
With multiple charges against her, Guo Xueyun rushed to the dean's office. As soon as she entered, she saw two people besides the dean: Jiang Wanqing and an old lady with gray hair and glasses.
She immediately realized that Jiang Wanqing was behind it all, and rushed over to point at her.
"What did you say to the dean! Jiang Wanqing, how can you still be so treacherous!"
Jiang Wanqing stood next to the old man, her eyes showing not only calmness but also mockery. After all, her opponent was too easy to break down, so there was no point in playing around with him.
She lowered her head and said gently to the old man, "Professor Lin, you see, I haven't even said anything yet, and Professor Guo is already angry."
"Bang!"
The dean slammed his fist on the table and stood up. He was usually all smiles and polite to Guo Xueyun, but today he was like a different person, with a righteous and stern expression.
"Don't you even know who's here? You're just spouting nonsense!" With that, the dean respectfully introduced, "This is Professor Lin. She was a top professor at Huada University even before you were born, and she's also a comrade-in-arms of Comrade Wanqing's grandmother. Today, she's here to inquire about Comrade Wanqing's enrollment. You explain it yourself!"
Guo Xueyun's eyes widened. She thought that with Professor Xue gone, no one would be there to support Jiang Wanqing. Who would have thought that Professor Lin would suddenly appear, and even the dean would treat him with respect...
Even more unbelievable is that she was actually a comrade-in-arms of Grandma Jiang Wanqing!
"Damn it..."
"Teacher Guo, why are you hurling insults instead of explaining your actions first?" Jiang Wanqing looked at her calmly.
"I...I didn't!"
"Hmph, young people these days are all going astray. If there were more people like you at Huada University, would it even be able to continue operating?"
Professor Lin exuded an imposing aura without being angry, and his eyes, fixed on Guo Xueyun, were extremely penetrating.
"Professor Lin... there must be some misunderstanding here. Comrade Wanqing didn't get into our college, how could I be related to her? You've misunderstood..."
"Oh? It seems that Professor Guo knows that I got into Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
The air around Guo Xueyun froze for two seconds. In her haste, Jiang Wanqing took advantage of the situation, and Guo Xueyun gritted her teeth inwardly.
"Since Professor Guo is not in the same college as me, how would she know that I passed the exam?"
"I...I helped the school organize the admission notices, and I think I saw your name before."
Under the watchful eyes of those in high positions, Guo Xueyun's every little action and lie had nowhere to hide, and she dared not lie in layers.
"Then why is Teacher Guo making things difficult for me to enroll on the grounds that I don't have an admission notice?"
Jiang Wanqing continued to smile faintly, calmly and methodically attacking the loopholes in her words.
"I...when did I..."
The dean, embarrassed, interrupted her.
"The senior students in charge of the school opening registration have already confessed truthfully. You'd better tell the truth and not gamble with your future and reputation!"
He gestured to Professor Lin, who sat firmly in his seat, as he spoke, indicating that Guo Xueyun might not be able to bear the consequences if she dared to lie or avoid the issue.
"I was just following the rules... Comrade Wanqing couldn't be reported without a notification letter," Guo Xueyun continued stubbornly.
"Professor Xue has already explained the situation to the school on my behalf. It has his official seal and his handwritten signature as a guarantee. How come I remember that Professor Guo wouldn't even acknowledge this?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Lin instantly exploded, his voice booming with anger.
"I didn't expect that we old guys have lost all our influence at the university. It's so hard to recruit two students. Humph, is this following procedure or deliberately making things difficult? Dean, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise all these years I've spent at Huada University haven't been for nothing!"
"Professor Lin, please don't be angry. Please take care of your health. This matter shouldn't be our department's responsibility. If it really was Professor Guo who unintentionally did something wrong, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
What a fine example of "unintentional" and "it's none of their business." Jiang Wanqing could only laugh when she heard this. Even a prestigious university like Huada has its share of collusion and entanglements within its ranks.
"Wanqing, what do you say?" Professor Lin patted Jiang Wanqing's hand: "Old Xue isn't here, and your grandmother is my old comrade-in-arms. As long as you want, I'll definitely support you!"
Professor Lin has retired, and although she still retains her prestige, every time she overdraws it, it's one less time she can afford. It was already quite an achievement that she stepped forward to support the situation this time. Jiang Wanqing had already achieved her goal and didn't want the old lady to suffer any more, so she smiled and said thank you.
"Leave the rest to me."
As the old man and the young man were talking, the dean and Guo Xueyun exchanged a glance. They decided to keep the person calm for now, because once the reporting time was over, it wouldn't matter what they said.
"Yes, Professor Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this!" the dean said, patting his chest as a guarantee.
"Then let's do it today. I'm not a student of your college, so we shouldn't have much to do with each other. It's Professor Guo who complicated things for his own selfish reasons. Let's resolve it today."
"Huh? This... how do we resolve this today..."
"May I use your office phone to call Professor Xue? Since Professor Guo knows that he is on a lecture tour abroad, it shouldn't be difficult to call his current workplace, right?"
Jiang Wanqing had been unable to contact Professor Xue for the past two days because she didn't know where he had gone, so she took this opportunity to settle things.
