Chapter 545: Qiming University, the Light of Faith (Part 3)
Liu Sisi didn't understand.
Jiang Fuyue has agreed to cover for him, why did Xiaoshan still choose to give up?
Afraid of being sentenced to jail?
Ruined reputation?
But hasn't he already experienced all of this?
He was thrown into prison, lost his job, had no way to find a job after being released from prison, and was reported by his parents.
I have distributed flyers, set up stalls, and sold takoyaki, but I still live in poverty.
If he was afraid, he wouldn't have survived until now.
But if you are not afraid, why not burn it all down?
Doesn't he want revenge?
Liu Sisi learned many skills from Camp A, but none of them taught her how to read people's hearts - the most solid and fickle thing in the world.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Fuyue, but saw that the latter had a calm gaze and a normal expression, as if she had already expected Xiaoshan to make this choice.
Is it true that moonlight can truly illuminate everything, even the human heart?
"Xiao Yao, go and take a look." Liu Jinzhong raised his chin in the direction where Xiao Shan left.
"Yes." Yao Ting ran after him.
Liu Jinzhong turned to Jiang Fuyue and asked, "What's next?"
"Everything is going according to plan."
After saying that, Jiang Fuyue also turned around and left.
…
The night was deep and the wind in the suburbs seemed colder than in the city center. It hit my face with a cracking pain.
Xiaoshan didn't go far, and of course he couldn't go far either.
The wheelchair was parked outside the warehouse, facing a slag heap.
There used to be a coal mine here, and the so-called "warehouse" was not a warehouse, but a workshop.
Later, a major accident occurred and the company was ordered to shut down, so the area was abandoned. However, the remaining coal gangue was not cleaned up in time and piled up into a mountain.
Looking around, it was a pitch-black pile.
In addition, the street lights were not on and there was no other lighting equipment, so we could only find our way by the faint moonlight.
But it’s better this way, each other’s expressions are hidden in the darkness, and cowardice and sorrow are all concealed.
Yao Ting followed Xiao Shan silently at a distance of half a meter.
Seeing Jiang Fuyue coming forward and waving at him, he stepped back and stood a little further away.
"Why not light a fire?"
Xiao Shan didn't seem surprised that she followed him out. He stared straight ahead, and there was clearly only darkness there.
"No reason." His tone was light.
"Are you scared?"
"You don't have to provoke me."
Jiang Fuyue clapped her hands, the clapping sound particularly loud in the night. "As expected of a master's degree in both mathematics and psychology."
Xiao Shan: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Jiang Fuyue gave him the opportunity to kill his enemy with his own hands, and in exchange, Xiaoshan had to meet her requirements.
The deal was done.
In fact, Xiaoshan was also very confused. What else could he gain now?
"Do you know Ming University?" Jiang Fuyue suddenly asked.
"You mean... Qiming University?"
"Um."
Xiaoshan: "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. I only know it's a private university that was at its peak twenty years ago. Just when the state was preparing to make an exception and designate it as a key university, granting it the right to enroll students through the regular college entrance examination, its founder and major shareholder didn't attend the ceremony and hasn't been seen in the past twenty years."
There are rumors that this mysterious founder has already passed away, but because the school is not yet stable, the news is not announced.
Others say that the founder was rebellious and refused to accept honors, which angered his superiors and led to him being investigated and imprisoned.
Of course, there are many other speculations, but no matter how many different opinions there are from the outside world, it cannot change the current situation of Mingda's decline.
It could have been promoted to a first-class university, but now it has become a "fake university" in the eyes of everyone.
After the college entrance examination every year, various volunteer application guides begin to appear online. Among them, Qiming University is always among the top guides for teaching people how to avoid "three-no universities".
Whenever a parent says that his or her child is studying at Qiming University, he or she will instantly be met with surprise, contempt, and a hint of thoughtfulness.
I'm surprised you would send your child to that kind of school?
What's despicable is that your child's grades must be extremely poor, otherwise he would have gone to a second or third tier university and would not have ended up in Mingda.
I think it's because, since he can afford to study at Ming University, he seems to have some financial resources.
That’s right, Mingda is considered the number one “fake school” by everyone, and its tuition fees are far ahead of other “fake schools”.
Xiao Shan looked puzzled: "Why did you suddenly mention Ming University?"
Does this have anything to do with their deal?
Jiang Fuyue: "I want you to serve as the president of Mingda for ten years. During this term, you must not only restore Mingda's increasingly damaged reputation, but also produce scientific research and research papers every year that rival those of the top twenty key universities in China."
After hearing this, Xiaoshan's facial muscles twitched violently, and he had to endure for a long time before he blurted out "Are you crazy?"
He took a deep breath and said, "Stop joking. I'm talking to you seriously now."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: "Do I look not serious?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not."
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shan asked, "...are you serious?"
"I don't like jokes."
"Okay, then let me remind you that Mingda is a private institution."
Jiang Fuyue: "So?"
"Its president must be appointed and dismissed by the board of directors, but the board of directors of Mingda University has been dissolved since the founder disappeared. In other words, if you want me to be president, you must first reorganize the board of directors. Do you think that's possible?"
“Who says it has to go through the board of directors?”
Xiao Shan frowned: "Isn't it?"
"The power of appointment and dismissal is not only held by the board of directors, but also by the founder."
Xiao Shan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"You just need to take up the position. The appointment notice will be sent to the school before then."
"Do you know the whereabouts of Mingda's founder?!" Xiao Shan is not stupid. Since Jiang Fuyue said so, he must have obtained the founder's signed document.
"Who are you?" From setting up a trap to capture Meng Zhiru, where a life was at stake with a flip of his hand, to now being able to easily produce a letter of appointment signed by the founder of Mingda.
For ordinary people, these things are unimaginable.
But she was at ease and enjoyed it.
Xiaoshan has a sharp gaze, but the sense of caution should not be too strong.
Unfortunately, it was too dark around him and he couldn't even see Jiang Fuyue's face, so naturally he couldn't analyze her expression at the moment.
"You'll know later."
The prerequisite is to have a "later".
If Xiaoshan agrees, then naturally it will happen; if he disagrees, then they will go their separate ways and never meet again, so how can there be a future?
He understood, but...
"A ten-year term is no problem, and I'll do my best to restore my reputation. But isn't it too demanding to compare the research output of the top 20 universities in the country?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm not asking you to do it alone."
"?"
"When you become president, you'll be fully responsible for admissions and recruitment. Students can also produce research and publish papers, not to mention teachers. Have you ever seen a professor at a university who doesn't do research?"
Xiao Shan already had a rough idea in his mind, "The last question is, why me?"
"In exchange, you have to answer a question for me."
Xiao Shan: “Okay.”
Jiang Fuyue: "I've read the papers you wrote while studying at University B and working at University H. You have a broad mindset and strong research capabilities. The video courses you put on your learning machine are also very well presented. Last but not least, you are a person who knows how to repay kindness. If I help you, you will be able to use me."
Xiao Shan nodded: "Your question?"
"Didn't I ask you just now?" Why don't you light the fire?
The man's gaze instantly became heavy and deep, and under the moonlight, there was a kind of etherealness that was difficult to conceal. But if you look inside, it is clear and bright, as if something is flickering and surging.
Just when Jiang Fuyue thought he would refuse to respond again, Xiao Shan slowly spoke -
"I think Meng Zhiru and I are different."
He can take human life lightly and disregard the law, but I can't.
Qingping also doesn't want him to become another Meng Zhiru.
Jiang Fuyue knew what was flickering in his eyes——
It is the faith that still shines brightly in the midst of suffering; it is the hope that one still holds for the world after being treated unfairly.
Xiao Shan is right, he is different from Meng Zhiru.
So even if you have a butcher knife in your hand, you can still say no rationally.
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "Sure enough, I was right about you. You are very suitable to be an educator."
"If I start a fire today and get rid of Meng Zhiru, will you still let me be the president of Qiming University?"
A murderer, going to teach and educate people?
It's really absurd and ridiculous.
"No," Jiang Fuyue shook her head, "Because you can't be one."
"?"
"You will turn yourself in."
Xiao Shan was stunned: "You..." How do you know?
Jiang Fuyue: "Professor Xiao, you underestimate yourself and you underestimate me."
