The group of people were filled with regret, realizing they shouldn't have listened to Chu Yuqi's instigation and had a problem with Teacher Ruan.
This is currently the most powerful figure in the association; smart people would be scrambling to get close to him, and only fools would come to question him.
"Ms. Ruan, I'm sorry, we didn't mean anything by it."
"Teacher Ruan, please forgive our rashness and ignorance..."
Everyone apologized, trying to salvage their image.
Pei Di suddenly said, "Those who speak out for Chu Yuqi and emphasize that even if she didn't make any great contributions, she still put in a lot of effort, are probably not very capable either, otherwise they wouldn't be worried about getting a zero from the teacher."
Everyone: "..."
Dude, that's really hurtful.
Now no one dared to speak up. They didn't want to be doubted about their abilities, nor did they want to be suspected of being mentally challenged.
He Wangyao gave Pei Di a thumbs up; this simpleton could actually utter a profound truth.
However, it was precisely because Pei Di uttered these words that they were so devastating.
In the back corner, Chu Yuqi was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth to powder. How could these people be so fickle and indecisive?
Now she has completely sided with Mingzhuo and it seems she won't speak up for Mingzhuo on her behalf anymore.
She got up and walked outside, pulling Cheng Jingru, who was also out of sorts, along with her.
"What are we doing here?" Cheng Jingru asked in a low voice.
Chu Yuqi glanced at the tightly closed door beside her and was certain that the sponsors had arrived and were inside.
Although Qiu Zhipeng was detained, she had always maintained a good relationship with the logistics staff, making it easy for her to extract useful information from them.
The sponsors this time are very wealthy. They upgraded everything from accommodation and food to staff salaries and bonuses by several levels. They are so rich and powerful that they are not your average people.
If the other party learns that the person who received the huge bonus is unworthy of the position and obtained it through cheating, they will definitely not agree.
Wealthy people hate being taken advantage of, so they will put pressure on the organizers. How could the organizers not take the opinions of their big spenders into account?
Moreover, with Cheng Jingru, the lucky female lead, around, I don't believe the people inside won't come out.
Chu Yuqi looked up for a moment, and without warning, tears streamed down her face.
Cheng Jingru was startled and asked helplessly, "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Yuqi cried and said, "Jingru, you have no idea how outrageous she is! Just because I did something good but ended up doing something wrong, she has been targeting me and giving me a zero in my theory class. I tolerated that, but who told her to suddenly become a guest lecturer and have a different status now?"
"But she shouldn't have used magic to scare ordinary people and cause them serious harm; she also shouldn't have disregarded human life and allowed evil spirits to kill people."
Cheng Jingru pursed her lips. "This does seem like something she would do."
Chu Yuqi: "I know Dean Wu values talent, but the strong shouldn't point their blades at ordinary people. If people from the Xuanmen sect all follow suit, wouldn't that create chaos?"
Before she could finish speaking, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and a man in a suit and tie walked out.
"Is everything you're saying true?" The man frowned as he looked at her, his gaze behind his glasses carrying an air of intimidation.
Just by looking at the man's face, Chu Yuqi knew that he was either rich or powerful and was undoubtedly the sponsor for this event.
Cheng Jingru's protagonist aura was really useful; she quickly embellished her story.
It's also important to mention that "the three people she brought were all newcomers. Perhaps I'm being cynical, but I'm worried there might be some underhanded dealings."
She had received advance notice that Li Wenhe was in third place, while He Wangyao and Pei Di were in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Since Ruan Mingzhuo dares to openly engage in shady dealings, then don't blame her for exposing it to her sugar daddy; none of them will have an easy time.
The man's face was indeed very grim. "I will investigate what you said and if it is true, I will not tolerate it."
Only then did Chu Yuqi, satisfied, pull Cheng Jingru away and return to the banquet hall.
Before sitting down, she looked at Mingzhuo defiantly, her lips moving silently as she said, "You're dead."
Li Wenhe frowned slightly. "What does she mean?"
Mingzhuo calmly drank his water: "It's nothing, just my usual crazy behavior."
However, a few minutes later, someone came over and asked her to come over.
Li Wenhe keenly sensed that something was wrong. He stared at the person who came in and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to see Teacher Ruan?"
Mingzhuo patted his shoulder to indicate that he was alright and knew what he was doing, then got up and left with the person who came.
——
Wu Jiao was sweating profusely, unable to understand why his usually easy-going benefactor would suddenly interfere with the internal award rankings.
"It's a misunderstanding. This S-rank mission was assigned by higher-ups, and the score was set very high, which is why these three students jumped into the top five..."
This situation is special. Who would have thought that the top five students in theory would take on an S-level mission and still suffer a Waterloo?
The final winners were a surprise, much to their astonishment. However, since the list was approved by Mr. Bai, it should be fine.
"I'm sorry, your argument doesn't convince me." Mo Chen pushed up his glasses. "I hope you understand that we sponsor the Xuanmen without expecting anything in return, because we hope that the Xuanmen can flourish."
“Your actions have contradicted our original intentions.”
Wu Jiao was inwardly groaning. He truly hadn't done anything underhanded; he sweared to God!
When Mingzhuo pushed open the door, she noticed the tense atmosphere inside. She glanced at the three sponsors sitting on the sofa, paused, and then walked over and sat down.
Mo Chen: "You are Ruan Mingzhuo? Please give me a reasonable explanation for this list."
