Chapter 719: Xu Lao protects his child and settles all accounts (Three chapters in one)
Fan Linlin looked at the dusty old man in front of her and couldn't hide her surprise: "Why are you back?!"
Isn’t it said that the academic exchange meeting will last for fifteen days, and there will be an exchange exhibition between Chinese and foreign physicists after it ends?
This will take at least a month!
Xu Kaiqing's face was cold and his eyes were heavy: "Tell me about Jiang Fuyue."
"……ah?"
Forty minutes later, Xu Kaiqing rushed straight to the principal's office.
He didn't even knock on the door, he just barged in.
"Old Zhou, if you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will really be in vain!"
Principal Zhou looked at Xu Kaiqing, who shouldn't have been here, with shock in his eyes. After hearing what he said, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"What's going on? Do you want an explanation? Come on, sit down first. I'll pour you a cup of tea..."
Xu Kaiqing discovered that he was not pretending to be stupid, but really didn't know.
Maybe in his eyes, it was just a lab? Wasn't it just that he had offended a student who refused to apply to Q University and still wanted to use the lab equipment?
It doesn't matter.
"No need for tea, let's talk things over first."
Principal Zhou looked puzzled. "What's going on? Why did you come all this way back? You didn't even have a meeting..."
Xu Kaiqing bluntly asked, "Why chase Jiang Fuyue away?"
The word "撵" is used quite impolitely.
Principal Zhou, of course, denied it. "Look at you, how can this be called a chase? But..." He paused for a moment, "Do you know Jiang Fuyue?"
"Humph! I was the one who invited her to the lab, but I was in a meeting and she wasn't here, and you guys pulled this on me?! What? You think I'm dead?!"
A teacher happened to pass by the principal's office. The door was not closed tightly, and she heard Xu Kaiqing's powerful roar from inside. She stopped in her tracks, her curiosity burning in her heart.
Then he took out his phone and started live streaming in the small group:
[Mr. Xu started yelling in Principal Zhou’s office]
[The voice was extremely loud and the attitude was extremely aggressive. Principal Zhou kept trying to persuade them in a good-tempered manner.]
【But honestly, that's a bit too humble】
[So, Mr. Xu is still the best]
As soon as a few messages came out, the group instantly boiled over——
[Oh my god—wasn't Professor Xu recently in a meeting out of town? Why did he suddenly appear in Principal Zhou's office?]
【Things are not simple after counting on my fingers】
@张慧芬, listen again and see what they are arguing about.
At this time, Zhang Huifen, whose half body was almost pressed against the door, suddenly heard the three words "Jiang Fuyue". Her eyes lit up instantly and she began typing away.
indoor.
Xu Kaiqing: "That Chi Jian is talking nonsense. What's stopping our teachers and students from using it first? Who wants to use it? Why don't I know about my lab? Did Professor Ji get my consent before she can use it?!"
"Also, who doesn't know that Chi Jian and Ji Xinxin are a couple? It's entirely possible that they're colluding. What's this report? I think it's just the thief crying 'Catch the thief!' Just making up a false accusation!"
"Jiang Fuyue was invited to my lab, but you guys drove her away. Tell me, who's responsible for this?"
"I'm going to make this clear today. No one can try to fool me. You must give me an explanation! Otherwise—"
Xu Kaiqing paused suddenly.
Principal Zhou frowned, but was not panicked. He thought that Old Xu had a firecracker-like temper that came and went quickly, so he could just let him vent a few words and everything would be fine.
So, I still wanted to tease him: "What else can you do? Cry in front of everyone? How come you also learned the jokes on the Internet..."
"I'll leave Q University and move the lab!"
Principal Zhou's smile froze, and the teasing in his eyes gradually gave way to shock. "You...what did you say?"
Xu Kaiqing spoke each word with great emphasis: "If you don't give me an explanation, I will leave Q University! Take the team and all the experimental projects with me!"
"Old Xu—do you know what you are talking about?!" Principal Zhou's face suddenly darkened and his eyes were sharp.
"I'm completely clear-headed now! If Q is already harboring all the filth and condoning this, then what's the point of staying here? Going along with them? Sorry, I can't do that!"
"So, are you threatening me and the school now?!"
As the dean of the School of Physics at Q University and a national treasure-level academician, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire physics department will be shaken if Xu Kaiqing leaves!
What's more, he has five approved national key projects waiting to be carried out, as well as countless scientific research results and papers.
Losing him is equivalent to losing half of Q's territory!
There was no way the school would let him go, and they even wanted to worship him like an ancestor.
If this isn't a threat, what is?
Xu Kaiqing nodded generously, "You can think so."
Principal Zhou: “…”
"I have said what I should say. As for how to do it, please think about it carefully!" After saying that, he turned and left.
Unexpectedly, just after he took two steps, the principal's low and hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"...What do you want to be told?"
Xu Kaiqing smiled without looking back: "Of course - investigate thoroughly and settle accounts completely!"
None of those evil spirits can escape!
"Do you know what a thorough investigation means?" The principal's voice was shaking.
Xu Kaiqing sneered: "I don't care what it means, just decide whether to investigate or not!"
Principal Zhou was silent for a long while.
"...If we want to investigate Chi Jian, we will inevitably involve Professor Ji. I'm... also in a difficult situation!"
The palms and backs of his hands are all made of flesh, and he doesn't want to cut either side.
"So the school is planning to keep Ji Xinxin and give up on me?" Xu Kaiqing interrupted directly.
The old principal was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "You clearly know it's impossible! Just piss me off! Angry me to death!"
Xu Kaiqing and Ji Xinxin cannot be compared at all.
One hundred Ji Xinxins are no match for one Xu Kaiqing.
But "greed" is a common human problem.
The old principal is no exception.
He wanted to keep Xu Kaiqing and also wanted to protect Ji Xinxin.
"Old Zhou, it's hard to have it both ways."
"...Is there no room for maneuver?"
Xu Kaiqing looked up. Because his back was facing away, the principal couldn't see his expression at the moment. He only heard a soft sigh escape his lips.
"It's okay for you to do this to me, but for Jiang Fuyue—No!"
After saying that, he strode away.
Principal Zhou bent his back and leaned back in his chair as if exhausted. His already graying temples seemed even grayer.
…
Two days later, Chi Jian’s penalty announcement was posted on Q University’s government notice board.
It lists in detail the crimes he committed during his tenure as Director of the Academic Affairs Office.
Including accepting bribes, bullying students, abusing public power for personal gain, embezzling public funds, framing colleagues, etc.
Result of handling: Dismissal and transfer to public security organs for handling.
"Oh my god! I didn't expect Director Chi to be this kind of person!"
"Not the director anymore, thank you."
"He doesn't look like a good person. Not only is he greasy, but he's also extremely vulgar. He especially likes to pat female students on the shoulders. It's disgusting!"
"It's said that he maliciously deducted credits from a senior student two years earlier, resulting in her not being able to obtain a degree upon graduation. As a result, her negotiated offer fell through, and she committed suicide by taking pills that night."
"Horrible! It's 2051 and we're still hearing this kind of thing! What's the outcome?"
"Although the senior sister was rescued, the sequelae of the drugs caused severe epilepsy, and the rest of her life is completely ruined."
"Well done to the school! People like this deserve to be punished!"
"Shoot him."
"Don't minimize a major issue or trivialize a minor one. Everyone, please keep an eye on the progress of the case. Don't let someone take advantage of loopholes and get away with it!"
"Now that the school has exposed him personally, they probably won't protect him anymore, right?"
"But don't forget, he has a professor wife. With proper management, the death penalty can be reprieved, reprieved to life imprisonment, life imprisonment to a fixed-term sentence, and a fixed-term sentence to a short-term sentence."
"There's no need to be so extreme. I believe in the country, the law, and even more so, the police! Bad guys won't have a good ending!"
"Chi Jian made a mistake and it has nothing to do with Professor Ji. She is also a victim. Please be rational and don't implicate innocent people."
"Tsk, you're Professor Ji's graduate student, right? Good fellow, such a righteous speech, it would be a shame not to participate in the debate."
"In ancient times, even a wife and daughter were not included in the crime. What does it matter now? Do we have to be punished together?"
"I don't know whether he's implicated or not, and I won't comment on Professor Ji. I'll just say his daughter, Chi Shuyuan, is not a good person!"
"That's right! Chi Shuyuan is the epitome of 'bullying others by taking advantage of one's power'. I'm in the same major as her, and I don't know how many girls in our class have been bullied by her!"
“…”
There was constant cursing and discussion.
Many things often only require a small tear to cause an avalanche-like effect.
Once the news of Chi Jian's arrest spread, everyone turned against him.
Many people came forward to expose the losses and torture they had suffered at his hands in the past.
Some even went straight to the police and expressed their willingness to testify in court, just to seek justice and stop the bad guys from running around.
Due to the public outrage, it became a hot topic.
But it was quickly removed.
Q cannot let this one bad apple ruin the reputation it has built up over hundreds of years.
…
Chi Shuyuan found that throughout the afternoon, the classmates passing by her looked at her strangely, whispering and pointing.
She had no idea what had happened and was still waiting for her mother to find a way to deal with her father's demotion. It would be even better if she could help her vent her anger on Jiang Fuyue.
"Look, it's her!"
"As expected of biological father and daughter, they look quite similar and are equally bad. Could this be a family tradition?"
"If I were her, I would have hidden myself long ago. Who would still be walking around the school so brazenly?"
"It shows that some people are extremely shameless."
"Now that her father, the principal, is gone, let's see how she can still bully her classmates by taking advantage of their power!"
"From now on, every holiday we have to go to the prison to reunite with our family, tsk..."
"Look at this father and daughter. One of them gave up his perfectly good position as dean and chose to break the law. The other one got into Q University but didn't appreciate it and bullied his classmates all day long. Why did they do that?"
"If they didn't commit suicide, they could easily live a thousand times better than ordinary people! What a pity..."
The discussion was quite loud. The more Chi Shuyuan listened, the stronger her bad premonition became. Finally, she could no longer bear it and she stepped forward to grab the two girls.
"What are you talking about?"
The two girls looked at each other.
Chi Shuyuan: "What prison? What crime? Explain clearly!"
"Go check the online notice board yourself!"
When Chi Shuyuan took out her mobile phone and clicked on the notice board, her eyes suddenly widened and her body trembled unconsciously.
"No... no... impossible..."
She doesn't believe it at all!
It was clearly a demotion, why did it suddenly turn into a dismissal?
I just saw my father this morning, and he was fine then. How come he was transferred to the public security organs in the blink of an eye?
"Who is so boring? Actually making such a joke?"
"Was this a prank by you?!" Chi Shuyuan grabbed one of the girls' hands and pulled hard, "Tell me! Was it you?!"
"Hiss...are you sick?" The girl broke free from her restraints and rolled her eyes. No one was afraid of her now.
"The school's official website has the official seal in the lower right corner. Have you ever seen a prank taken this seriously? There's a limit to self-deception, right?"
Another girl said coldly: "Your father has done so many bad things, he deserves to be arrested by the police!"
"Ah——" Chi Shuyuan held her head and screamed, "Shut up! Shut up right there——"
The two girls exchanged glances quickly. "Heh, who do you think you are? A rich lady? And you're telling me to shut up?"
"Without your powerful father, you're worse than a dog now, and you still want to order people around? Wake up!"
Wake up...
Wake up...
Bar……
It was like a devilish sound in her ears, and Chi Shuyuan ran away.
As soon as she ran out of the school gate, she immediately raised her hand to stop a taxi. No... all this was fake, it was all a dream!
She wants to go home and ask Chi Jian in person!
Unfortunately, when she returned home, all that awaited her was an empty room.
The parents were not around, and even the servants were nowhere to be seen.
"Dad? Mom?!" She searched up and down the stairs twice but found nothing.
Chi Shuyuan stood in the living room, her heart sinking.
She took out her cell phone and called Chi Jian.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..."
She hung up, called again, and got the same response.
Then, she called Ji Xinxin again. After a long beep, so long that she thought the other end would not answer, a tired voice came from the other end.
"Hello?"
Suddenly, Chi Shuyuan's tears rolled down: "Mom! Where's Dad? Why is his phone turned off when I called him? Those rumors at school are all fake, right? They are all rumors!"
There was a pause on the other end, and then he spoke: "...Yuanyuan, you have to learn to accept reality!"
"No! I don't believe it!"
"Don't you know what your father did? How many of them were caused by you being upset with other students? Don't you have any idea?"
Yes, Chi Shuyuan actually knows everything.
Bullying students and abusing power for personal gain are largely due to her. She knows every detail clearly!
But precisely because of this, she couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe it! She didn't dare believe it!
Otherwise, she would be the culprit.
"Mom...when will you be back?"
Ji Xinxin arrived in the evening and was forced to leave the ten-day academic seminar midway.
When I got home, I saw the living room was dark and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.
When she turned on the light, the drunk Chi Shuyuan was lying on the floor, curled up in a ball.
He kept muttering, "Mom...what should I do..."
In the middle of the night, Chi Shuyuan woke up in her room.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Ji Xinxin sitting by the bed. Since the lights were not on, I could only see a dark shadow with a rough outline.
"Mom!" She threw herself into the woman's arms, wailing loudly, "Dad was arrested. Will he go to jail? Why did it suddenly become like this? What should we do?"
Ji Xinxin patted her back gently, her eyes flashing slightly in the darkness.
"Don't worry, there will be a way."
And her method is to find the Han family...
"Who? Say it again?!" Han Ke paused.
The servant said respectfully, "She said her name is Ji Xinxin, and she's right outside the door, and she wants to see the young master."
Han Shen frowned.
"Tell her to get lost. We won't see her!" Han Heng came down from upstairs, holding a glass of water. "We haven't been in touch for decades, and she's suddenly showing up. It can't be good news!"
Han Ke: "I guess it's because of the surname Chi."
Speaking of this matter, Han Heng felt particularly relieved.
Q University had clearly intended to cover up the matter and not investigate. Even if they decided not to donate buildings or set up scholarships, the school would only be shocked and angry for a while and demote Chi Jian, and that was it.
Lift it high and put it down gently.
Anyway, a demoted position can be restored, it's just a matter of time.
I originally thought that this matter could only be let go, as the Han family didn't have many connections in the education sector. However, I didn't expect Xu Kaiqing to put pressure on others just to give Jiang Fuyue justice!
The Han family was first surprised that Jiang Fuyue actually knew Xu Kaiqing, and then they were shocked that this academic leader valued Jiang Fuyue so much that he even said something like "leave Q University".
Han Heng was the first to accept it: "My Yueyue is loved by everyone. What's so strange about this?"
Han Ke nodded: "It's worth it every month."
In the end, Han Shen was also led astray, and privately expressed his admiration to his secretary countless times: "My Yueyue is really outstanding!"
Secretary: "..." I know, I know! My ears are about to get callused!
Time returns to the present moment——
Han Ke: "It's no use begging. Chi Jian deserves it!"
Han Heng: "Chi has done so many bad things, how can she have the nerve to come to me for help?"
Soon, the servant returned: "That young lady said that she won't leave until she sees anyone. She's just waiting outside! She won't listen to anything I say! What should we do, young master?"
Han Ke sneered: "Who does she think she is?"
Han Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "...Forget it. I can't let the old man know. I'll go out and take a look and get rid of her."
Outside the villa.
When she saw Han Shen, Ji Xinxin's eyes lit up. She stammered and was about to blurt out "Brother".
"Miss Ji, is there something wrong?" Han Shen didn't even give her the chance to call out. The word "Miss Ji" instantly widened the distance between them.
The woman's eyelashes trembled, her voice hoarse, and she cried a little: "Can you...can you save me..."
"cannot."
"Why? If it's because of Han Yunru's daughter, I can make Chi Jian kneel down and apologize to her!"
She did not call her "Jiang Fuyue" directly, but used "Han Yunru's daughter". She was accusing, dissatisfied, and speaking up for herself!
Jiang Fuyue had only suffered a little injustice, but her husband was facing imprisonment.
Just because she is Han Yunru's daughter!
Han Shen smiled, looking at her with a cold and distant look——
"First of all, it's not us who want to hold Chi responsible. It's the school that's taking action, and we have no right to interfere."
"Secondly, your husband needs to apologize to more than just Yueyue. I've read the announcement, and most of the things he did were far worse than what happened to Yueyue. He should pay the price for what he did, shouldn't he?"
"Finally, Ji Xinxin," he called her name, revealing an absolute coldness and indifference, even worse than treating a stranger, "Do you dare to say that you didn't have a hand in Yueyue's matter?"
The woman shuddered, looked up in shock, and subconsciously defended herself: "I didn't..."
Han Shen raised his hand and interrupted her: "You know whether you have it or not, there is no need to tell me."
What you mean is, I think you do, and no matter how you explain, you can't change my mind.
"Go away. Since we haven't had any contact before, there's no need for us to have any contact in the future." After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
At this moment, Ji Xinxin suddenly shouted at the man's back: "Why?! Just because she is Han Yunru's biological child?! Han Yunru is your sister, so am I not? Jiang Fuyue is your niece, so is my daughter not?!"
Han Shen turned coldly, looking at her with a stern look in his eyes: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being compared with Xiaoru? If it weren't for your mother, she wouldn't have been separated from her family for so many years!"
"You should repent, not be jealous. You and Ji Lanyue are both guilty!"
"Besides, I only have one sister, Han Yunru, and one niece, Jiang Fuyue. As for you, we were strangers before, and we won't be close friends in the future, so take care of yourself!"
This time, Han Shen didn't look back.
Jiang Fuyue stood in the room and looked out from the floor-to-ceiling window, just in time to take it all in. Naturally, he did not miss the hideousness and distortion on the woman's face.
Suddenly, Ji Xinxin seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up and looked at her, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
Jiang Fu Yue did not dodge or evade, but went straight forward, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth rose.
In the end, Ji Xinxin was the first to look away and left in embarrassment.
Just when everyone thought that Chi Jian was imprisoned and the matter could finally come to an end, even Ji Xinxin thought so, and a bigger blow was yet to come.
When Xu Kaiqing said "investigate thoroughly and settle accounts completely", he really meant to investigate clearly and settle accounts completely!
