Chapter 150 Embarrassing Apology
When Li Wanwan heard Dean Hu speak to her so harshly, she was shocked and quickly defended herself.
"Dean, listen to me. My speculations are all reasonable. How else can Wen Ning explain himself? He started first grade at 14, was locked up in a mental hospital for three years at 18, and then scored a 701 on the test just three months after being released. It's impossible for anyone else to achieve that within that timeframe!"
This experience alone has many unreasonable aspects.
Everyone looked at Wen Ning with a hint of inquiry in their eyes.
And just at this moment, Bo Lu's slow voice sounded.
"Then according to what Mr. Li said, it's unreasonable for me to be a biology professor at University A at the age of 26."
The freshmen didn't understand why Bo Lu suddenly said that about him.
The teachers in the college all looked troubled.
Dean Hu cleared his throat, as if he wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, Bo Lu spoke with a smile the next second.
"I started first grade at the age of six, skipped a grade to the seventh grade in three years, and then spent another two years completing all the subjects in junior high school, successfully skipping a grade to high school. After three years of high school, I took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the School of Biology at University A with a score of 690."
"After two years of undergraduate study, I rushed to a prestigious university in Country M for graduate studies. I earned my master's degree in a year, and then spent another two years earning my doctorate. Today, at the age of 26, I'm the youngest professor of biology."
Bo Lu nonchalantly recounted his impressive resume, and then slowly made fun of himself.
"According to Mr. Li's rules, my scores, my academic credentials, and my degree are all unreasonable. Just report me to the school disciplinary committee for investigation."
Even a fool could tell that Bo Lu's words were ironic.
Li Wanwan was also a little confused. On the one hand, she admired Bo Lu's brilliant resume, but on the other hand, she didn't understand why Bo Lu would belittle himself like that.
Just when I was wondering how to justify my behavior.
Suddenly I heard several classmates around me say this.
"Yes, although it is sometimes very discouraging, one has to acknowledge talent."
"Also, to say that Wen Ning's strengths are solely due to her intelligence and to ignore her hard work is a bit too simplistic."
"She had never left the mountains before she was 14. This kind of living environment is really terrible. I'm starting to feel a little sympathetic towards her."
"Also, although it's irrational, it also has a certain rationality. After all, the IQ of a 14-year-old and a 6-year-old are indeed different in terms of brain development. Jumping six levels in one year is understandable, but after that, it's truly a case of intellectual innate talent."
"There are quite a lot of gifted children like this. There were news reports about people getting into university at 10, getting a master's degree at 13, and getting a doctorate at 16. Back then, everyone was praising them. Why is it that when it comes to Wen Ning, everyone's questioning him?"
"That's right. We all go through nine years of compulsory education, but why do some people get into top universities while others can only get into junior colleges?"
"Of course, this only refers to academic talent. There are many people who may not be good at academics, but are very good in other areas. There are top talents in all 360 professions."
Listening to the classmates' heated discussion, Li Wanwan's face turned completely dark.
She understood the situation her classmates were talking about very well.
Because she has always been the top student in her class since she started elementary school. Even when she was in junior high school and high school, her grades were always among the best.
Every time some poor students asked her some questions about their studies in a nice tone, she would always patiently explain to them in a rather obscure way, and then verbally despise them for being slow learners, poor comprehension, and low IQ.
She has always found happiness in looking down on classmates who are not as good as her in academics.
But she didn't expect that this time she met someone with higher talent than her, and was severely slapped in the face by him!
Li Wanwan's face turned pale in an instant.
But at this moment, Bo Lu seemed not to be satisfied and listed all his honors.
"I forgot to mention that I started learning programming at the age of six. Just a few months later, I wrote a website program myself. I passed the tenth level piano exam at the age of eight and won the National Mathematical Olympiad at the age of ten..."
"Hey, Mr. Li, are you also going to spread the word that these honors I've received are unfair and cyberbully me on the forum?"
Li Wanwan couldn't help but tremble, "Teacher, I didn't mean that."
The smile on Bo Lu's face gradually cooled, and he said with a sullen face, "What do you mean?"
Li Wanwan grunted and couldn't speak for a long time.
But the next second Bo Lu spoke again coldly.
"Oh, I see. It's because I'm already a professor in the School of Biology, and you're just a freshman. You know you don't have the ability to deal with me."
"But Wen Ning, like you, is a freshman who just arrived at the school and doesn't have any backing. That's why he dared to bully her so recklessly."
"Or, you could just ruin her reputation, and ideally force her to drop out of school, or even get her expelled. Then you'd be the undisputed number one."
When she said the last sentence, Li Wanwan suddenly looked up at Bo Lu.
His faintly red pupils revealed obvious fear and trembling, and he murmured in fear, "No, no, I didn't, I really didn't."
However, Li Wanwan's guilty expression was too obvious.
Everyone else could see it clearly.
The roommates standing with Li Wanwan looked at her in disbelief, "Wanwan, why do you think that?"
"Student Wen was able to get first place in the exam because of her hard work."
"Are you spreading rumors and slandering her just because you're jealous that her college entrance exam score was higher than yours?"
Li Wanwan looked panicked and anxious, and said frantically, "No, no, I just had reasonable doubts, and everyone on the forum said that about her."
“That’s enough!”
"She made irresponsible remarks in public without any factual basis, insulted and abused her classmates, and seriously affected campus discipline. Wu Xuhua, give her a warning!"
Dean Hu of the School of Journalism interrupted sharply.
Li Wanwan felt a little scared when she heard Dean Hu being so strict.
But after hearing what he said later, she was punished right after entering the school. How could she have a chance to be evaluated for excellence, receive scholarships, or be admitted to graduate school in the future?
No, no, absolutely not!
"No, Dean Hu, don't listen to that young man's nonsense. He just saw Wen Ning's beauty and good figure, so he deliberately stood up for her. You can't be so biased. You clearly know that her grades are questionable..."
This statement not only implied that Bo Lu was motivated by beauty and was helping Wen Ning, but also implicitly threatened Dean Hu.
Dean Hu is already old, but he was so angry about what she said that he was upset!
"So, anyone who doesn't agree with what you say is just attracted to Wen because she's pretty. Students like you have a crooked mindset!"
Li Wanwan bit her lip, not knowing what to say, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "Her grades are just unreasonable. I don't believe that one person can improve so quickly."
At this moment, Bo Lu sneered, not wanting to let her go. "So, Student Li is still questioning the fairness of the college entrance examination?"
If it is an ordinary exam organized by the school, cheating is still very likely.
But in the college entrance examination, each examination room is equipped with three or four invigilators, signal blockers, various detectors, and all-round video surveillance, and there are teachers who are specifically watching.
Today's college entrance examination is becoming more and more strict, and there is basically no possibility of cheating.
The fairness and authority of the college entrance examination are beyond doubt!
Li Wanwan's overheated mind gradually calmed down, "I, I just..."
But at this time, Bo Lu had no intention of letting Li Wanwan go, or rather, he did not intend to let go of the person who was stirring up trouble in the forum behind the scenes.
"Haha, but Mr. Li's curiosity is reasonable."
No one understood why Bo Lu's tone suddenly changed so drastically.
Even Dean Hu's eyes revealed some doubts.
Only Wen Ning raised his eyebrows in understanding, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Bo Lu said again.
"The fairness and authority of the college entrance examination are beyond doubt."
"However, there are indeed loopholes in the school's recruitment rules, the approval process for admitted students, and many other processes during admissions."
"Following Li Wanwan's reasonable questioning, I have also decided to ask the school to review the admission records of all students who have entered the school within the past four years."
"If we find any students violating the rules, I believe that under the supervision of Li Wanwan, we will handle it impartially and will not tolerate any of them!"
As Bo Lu finished speaking, Li Wanwan's face had already turned pale.
She knew very well that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
Most of those who can get into University A do so based on their real academic performance.
However, there are also some students who rely on various backgrounds, power and money to get a place in school.
If the investigation is really carried out according to Bo Lu's idea, then those students who entered through various means will probably hate her to death.
For those powerful children, it was unimaginable how they could punish her, an ordinary student.
From now on, she will definitely not have a good day at University A?
This is even more terrifying than just giving him a serious warning!
Thinking of this, Li Wanwan shuddered with fear.
As his mind raced, he immediately understood what was going on.
"No, Mr. Bubo, I know I was wrong."
"I was just jealous that Wen Ning scored higher than me, and there were some rumors about her on the forum. I secretly believed them and spread them everywhere, waiting for an opportunity to make all the students dislike her."
"It's all my fault. I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong."
Bo Lu pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the girl begging for mercy with cold eyes. There was no pity in his eyes, but instead a hint of sarcasm.
He spoke slowly, his voice very cold.
"So, you're apologizing to me?"
A light rhetorical question.
Li Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that Bo Lu wanted her to apologize to Wen Ning.
He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Ning.
The girl still stood there calmly, with no expression of sadness or joy, as if she was not angry or annoyed by her insults and abuse, nor was she happy about her current embarrassment.
But the more this happened, the angrier she became.
Because this meant that Wen Ning had never taken her seriously at all.
All of this is her one-man show!
However, she caught a glimpse of the teachers and classmates surrounding her, and realized that if she didn't apologize today, she would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Wanwan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."
But at this time, Xu Ziyang said loudly, "We didn't hear what you said."
Li Wanwan's expression changed, "You!"
The other roommates quickly followed suit, "Yeah, yeah, we didn't hear it."
Even Li Wanwan's roommate said, "Wanwan, please apologize sincerely and ask for classmate Wen's forgiveness. This is indeed your fault."
The instructor also had a cold face and reminded him impatiently, "Apologize to classmate Wen sincerely and stop playing tricks."
Li Wanwan was so angry that she almost fainted.
But when her eyes met the gazes of the people around her, she clenched her fists tightly and then spoke loudly.
"Wen Ning, I'm sorry."
"I was jealous that you got better grades than me, so when I saw some negative gossip about you on the forum, I happily believed it and spread it in public, even verbally abusing you."
"I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble. Please forgive me!"
Li Wanwan's somewhat self-destructive voice echoed in the playground.
A faint smile flashed across Wen Ning's eyes, and he replied calmly, "Oh."
Li Wanwan: “…”
Although she was very dissatisfied with Wen Ning's attitude, at least he had apologized, and Li Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
But who knew that the next second, Bo Lu spoke again.
"Li Wanwan is truly a good student who corrects her mistakes. I believe that with such a good character, she will be a good supervisory ambassador and help school staff better implement discipline within the school!"
Li Wanwan was stunned, "What did you say!"
Bo Lu smiled slightly, with endless coldness in the depths of his eyes. That expression seemed to say, do you think that a simple apology can erase so many mistakes?
Li Wanwan was unwilling to accept this and said in panic, "I've already apologized, what else do you want from me!"
Bo Lu said coldly, "If I remember correctly, you were the one who was always aggressive."
"Why, you think it's politically correct when you use rumors as weapons and wantonly attack others."
"Now, others are just fighting back in a proper way, but in your eyes, it's become persecution of you, right?"
As Bo Lu finished speaking, the looks others gave Li Wanwan became increasingly strange.
Li Wanwan had nothing to say. Her only hope now was that Wen Ning would speak up to stop them. After all, she had cheated her way into University A, so she should feel guilty!
But the next second, Wen Ning spoke calmly.
"I also believe that Li will be able to handle this matter properly. At the same time, as a party involved in this incident, I also implore the school to conduct a rigorous investigation and clear my name."
"If any supporting documents are needed, I can provide them, and I will do my best to cooperate with any form of investigation."
