Shen Boyuan never expected that her overstepping boundaries was not limited to bringing servants; she even wanted to enjoy the private kitchen of the imperial chef and the Peony Garden.
He has always been intolerant of injustice, and the other party has repeatedly crossed his bottom line, which has made him unable to tolerate it any longer.
"Get out of here right now, don't make me say it a third time!"
Zhuang Xun was furious. What kind of attitude is this? How dare you treat my idol like this?
"Shut up! She's a specially invited lecturer, of course she's qualified to eat the imperial chef's private dishes and stay at the Peony Garden! She's even more qualified to bring her apprentices to class!"
Shen Boyuan paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhuang Xun, "Are you sure you're not just spouting nonsense?"
What kind of invited lecturer is this? When did the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference start having such a position?
Zhuang Xun: "Believe it or not, I'm just following Dean Wu's orders to pick her up."
He thought to himself, "Do I have an obligation to explain this to you?"
The two are like the proverbial "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?" They've never gotten along. In the past, there was Liang Xing who tried to mediate, but now that Liang Xing is gone, their relationship has deteriorated even further.
Zhuang Xun didn't think it was his problem. Although he was unruly, he was at least a normal person.
What about Shen Boyuan? Relying on his consistent first-place finishes, he thinks these exchange conferences are child's play, that the teachers' teaching level is limited, and he refuses to pay attention to the teachers' information.
They claimed to be there as teaching assistants, but they weren't even interested in coordinating the courses with the teachers; they were only absorbed in their own spiritual practice.
In addition, Mingzhuo was Wu Jiao's trump card, and to maintain suspense, the news of the invited lecturer was not announced to the public, which is why we missed the opportunity to learn about him.
Zhuang Xun: "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now. By the way, what should we do with this Master?"
He glanced at Qiu Zhipeng and chuckled, "You're about to be in trouble."
Mingzhuo: "He not only verbally disrespected me, but also sexually harassed me. I have the evidence, and I want the organizers to fire him."
Zhuang Xun nodded. "Okay, it's settled then. I'll take the evidence and report it to my superiors right away."
Qiu Zhipeng panicked immediately. How could things have turned out this way?
"No, you have no right to do this!" Qiu Zhipeng was unwilling. This was too domineering. He wasn't some nobody who could be attacked at will.
Shen Boyuan frowned. "Zhuang Xun, do you know what you're doing?"
Although Qiu Zhipeng called them "senior brothers," it was just a humble way of putting it. In reality, the other party was older than both of them and had entered the sect earlier. It was only because of his average aptitude that he was transferred to the logistics position.
This is an old man who has organized several Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conferences. Even the leaders of various sects have to give him face.
"Shen Boyuan, don't you want to take a look at what you're doing?" Zhuang Xun sneered, handing Shen Boyuan a screenshot on his phone. "Are you planning to cover up sexual harassment?"
This is solid evidence; the text message content went too far.
Shen Boyuan: "..."
He took a deep breath, shoved Zhuang Xun aside, and walked away coldly, saying, "Whatever."
With Shen Boyuan gone, Qiu Zhipeng completely lost his composure and hurriedly apologized to Zhuang Xun, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Zhuang, I didn't know she was your friend..."
Even at this point, he still hadn't fully realized his mistake.
They would only think that Zhuang Xun was using his status to bully others, and that there was always room for maneuver.
He believed that as long as he made a proper admission of his mistake, Zhuang Xun wouldn't be so quick to demand his dismissal for the sake of a woman.
This is far too blatant. With so many support staff present, everyone will be indignant.
Mingzhuo paused for a moment, then reminded the other person, "It has nothing to do with him; it's me who's determined to fire you."
She had initially worried about potential misunderstandings, but after meeting the person in person, she felt it was better to fire him.
He Wangyao and Pei Di hurriedly followed, while Li Wenhe, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped and turned back.
"Are you upset?" He casually toyed with the room key. "If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself, you useless piece of trash!"
Qiu Zhipeng felt like his sore spot had been hit; the thing he hated most in his life was being called a good-for-nothing!
He lunged forward to hit Li Wenhe, but Li Wenhe had anticipated his move, nimbly retreating a few steps to dodge and then quickly turning to chase after Ming Zhuo and the others.
Qiu Zhipeng wanted to rush forward, but was held back by the people next to him.
He took a breath, pushed away the person who was pulling him, and left with a gloomy expression.
This matter is not over yet. Who do you think you are, someone without connections? Who are you trying to scare?
——
Mingzhuo stayed in the best room in the hotel, which showed great care. They even prepared a fruit platter and snacks, which were served on lacquered wooden plates and looked delicious and beautiful.
Zhuang Xun suggested that Ming Zhuo could take a short break and that her classes could be postponed.
Li Wenhe, along with He Wangyao and Pei Di, put down their luggage and rushed to the auditorium for class.
As a specially invited teacher, Mingzhuo certainly has the right to be capricious, but the students shouldn't be too much of an exception.
Besides, everyone genuinely wants to learn.
Master Mingzhuo is very capable, but his theoretical knowledge in certain areas is somewhat weak.
For example, she can draw high-level talismans at will, but she doesn't quite understand the incantations required for some mid- to low-level talismans; however, if you remind her, she will immediately remember.
It was as if that knowledge had been sealed in her mind; she wouldn't understand it when she looked at it, but once she came into contact with it, she would know it all.
She seems to be better at practical application, and her theoretical knowledge is only so-so. But when you underestimate her, you will find that she has a wide and profound knowledge base.
When Li Wenhe wrote the courseware for her, he kept switching between two feelings: "Finally, you have a weakness too" and "How come you know it now?"
The final draft of the courseware was completely different from Li Wenhe's first draft.
