He Lingchuan stood there, stunned: "Who told you that?"
He spread his hands, as if to say, "Has this been going on for a long time?"
Wasn't everything already clarified? Why is Shen Yanxi bringing it up again?
Shen Yanxi walked past He Lingchuan and pointed at the person behind her: "Isn't he talking about you? He Lingchuan, you really disappoint me. I thought you got in based on your own ability, but I didn't expect you to even forge your transcript."
Shen Yanxi looked like she had embarrassed her, which made He Lingchuan both amused and exasperated. He retorted without any mercy, "You're wrong. He's not talking about me. He's talking about your lover, Zhou Mingyan."
Shen Yanxi stood there, stunned, thinking she had misheard.
Those who had initially surrounded He Lingchuan were completely bewildered, their eyes darting between the two of them.
They initially just looked down on those who got into school through connections, but they never expected to witness such a big spectacle.
It's unclear who took out their phone first, but by the time Shen Yanxi noticed, it was too late.
They had already uploaded the video. At that moment, Shen Yanxi wished she could hide He Lingchuan away right now to prevent him from causing trouble outside.
He Lingchuan glanced at the people filming the extended video and calmly walked over: "Delete it."
The group glared indignantly at He Lingchuan, hiding their phones behind their backs: "Why should we delete them just because you tell us to?"
"Exactly, you got in through connections and you think you're in the right?"
They talked as they backed away, and ran back to the classroom when He Lingchuan wasn't paying attention.
He Lingchuan frowned, and was about to chase after them when Shen Yanxi grabbed his wrist: "Don't chase them anymore. The video has already been sent. Let's go back first."
Aren't you afraid they'll spread rumors about you?
He Lingchuan shook off Shen Yanxi's hand. Since their divorce, he had become increasingly uncomfortable with such intimate gestures.
Shen Yanxi stared blankly at He Lingchuan, feeling dissatisfied: "What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?"
The image of He Lingchuan and Cao Xue together suddenly flashed through her mind, and she sneered at him: "He Lingchuan, we've only been apart for a short time, and you're already treating me like this. I don't think you and Cao Xue will last long either. He's so young, how long do you think you two can stay together?"
He Lingchuan frowned. No matter how he explained that he had no relationship with Cao Xue, Shen Yanxi did not believe him.
He gave up in despair, waving his hand dismissively: "That's my own business, it has nothing to do with you."
He Lingchuan slung his bag over his shoulder and walked past Shen Yanxi. He had only taken two steps when he stopped and kindly reminded her, "I advise you to keep Zhou Mingyan low-key, lest people find out that he got in through connections, which would not be good for you either."
After saying that, He Lingchuan turned and left without waiting for Shen Yanxi.
The next morning, He Lingchuan went to the laboratory after dropping off the children.
Before conducting experiments in the past, Professor Zhao would specifically gather all the students together: "Is everyone here?"
Professor Zhao coughed a few times, glanced around, and then slowly said, "I'm getting old and need a teaching assistant. After these few days of evaluation, I've made my selection."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the students' eyes fell on He Lingchuan.
They had all recently heard that He Lingchuan got into the class through connections with friends, so when Professor Zhao asked for a teaching assistant, their first thought was He Lingchuan.
In front of the professor, the students began to discuss it.
"Do you think this person could be He Lingchuan?"
"Definitely. Isn't everyone saying that his relationship with Professor Zhao is unusual?"
"I've heard about it too. Didn't you see Professor Zhao's eyes were all on He Lingchuan? Who else could it be but him?"
The students' discussions grew louder and louder, and some of their words even reached Professor Zhao's ears.
He tapped the blackboard, his face serious: "Is this class for you or for me?"
The classroom fell silent instantly. The next second, Professor Zhao slowly spoke: "This teaching assistant is He Lingchuan."
"ah?"
"Is it really him?"
"So what those people outside were saying was true."
In an instant, He Lingchuan became an enemy in the eyes of these people.
He smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to refuse Professor Zhao.
"Professor Zhao, I think this teaching assistant..."
Before he could finish speaking, Professor Zhao interrupted him without hesitation: "I can't find a more suitable candidate than you."
After saying that, Professor Zhao waved his hand: Go to the lab.
He Lingchuan watched Professor Zhao's departing figure with a helpless expression. Since things had come to this point, there was no point in him saying anything.
He had no evidence to prove that Zhou Mingyan got the job through connections. To gain the respect of these people, he needed to be highly skilled.
Unfortunately, he got married too young and didn't have any patents. No matter how he explained that he got into graduate school based on his own abilities, they wouldn't believe him.
He Lingchuan sighed. Since he couldn't explain it clearly anyway, he simply stopped thinking about it. He went to the laboratory, turned on the machine with ease, and wanted to modify the system he had worked on before.
In a few months, they will be going down to do internships, which, to put it bluntly, means working as free labor for others.
He Lingchuan was thinking about the recent research institutes, hoping to visit Gu Chengze's place.
He was already familiar with the place, and he felt quite comfortable being with Gu Chengze.
In this way, Shen Yanxi would have no reason to let him leave the laboratory, and she might even be able to see Cao Xue after her recovery.
Thinking of Cao Xue, He Lingchuan's mood gradually brightened, and he was able to conduct experiments much faster.
After finally getting the system programmed, the lab door was kicked open, and it was the same people from yesterday.
"Why is it you again?"
He Lingchuan picked up the tools beside him for self-defense, and this time, Zhou Mingyan took the lead.
He looked at He Lingchuan with an arrogant and gloating expression: "He Lingchuan, your good days are coming to an end."
With a wave of his hand, the men behind him surrounded He Lingchuan.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhou Mingyan spoke up: "He Lingchuan, it's one thing to get into this class through connections, but now you're even trying to steal the teaching assistant position. Have you no shame?"
Zhou Mingyan was aggressive, and his men were not to be outdone, fanning the flames from the sidelines.
"Exactly, you're shameless! How are we, the students who are seriously studying philosophy, supposed to live like this?"
He Lingchuan slowly understood their purpose in coming. He shrugged and said generously, "If you want to be teaching assistants, go find Professor Zhao. As long as they agree to let you be teaching assistants, I will give up this position."
"Stop being so generous. Everyone knows your relationship with Professor Zhao. How could he possibly let us be teaching assistants? Besides, everyone knows how prestigious Professor Zhao's teaching assistant position is. How could you possibly give it up to us?"
He Lingchuan spread his hands, his expression helpless: "So what do you want?"
"It's simple, you drop out of school."
