Mu Liuyun and Shi Hengyu arrived at the entrance of the Academic Affairs Office together. From afar, they saw Li Hong, who looked irritable, standing at the entrance with her arms crossed, glancing at her watch every now and then.
Mu Liuyun jogged a few steps and called out, "Sister Li!"
Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's voice, Li Hongteng reached out and pinched Mu Liuyun's cheeks as he ran towards her, saying, "What's wrong with you! Weren't you interning at the Chu Family Group? How did you get involved in these things again!"
Li Hong's anxious expression deeply moved Mu Liuyun, who then spoke her heart out: "Waaah, waaaah."
Mu Liuyun couldn't explain how she ended up facing Liu Kun, since it was already a fait accompli, and knowing the reason why wouldn't make a difference.
Seeing Mu Liuyun's expression, Li Hong sighed and let go of her hand: "This is not easy now. Liu Kun gave it a thumbs up, and this matter will only get bigger and bigger. Even if it is resolved, it will still affect you."
Li Hong herself is the daughter of the vice president of Jincheng University, and has seen many similar public opinion incidents.
For someone like Mu Liuyun, whose revelations were riddled with holes, the situation would normally be easy to resolve. But the problem is that Liu Kun, with millions of followers, liked the post, which changes everything.
When Mu Liuyun heard Li Hong call out Liu Kun's name, she felt for some reason that Li Hong seemed to know Liu Kun, so she asked, "Sister Li, do you know Liu Kun?"
"Yes, we know each other. We were classmates in college."
Li Hong nodded impatiently, as if she had some kind of grudge against Liu Kun.
What Li Hong didn't tell Mu Liuyun was that Liu Kun had pursued her during their university years, even resorting to some dirty tricks. If she hadn't been the vice-principal's daughter, she probably would have fallen for Liu Kun.
"Alright, never mind, come in with me to see the principal."
When the word "principal" was mentioned, Li Hong's face showed resentment again.
"You need to be careful. The principal has already taken money from the Liu family and is determined to expel you from school."
Hearing this, Mu Liuyun felt somewhat confused. He simply couldn't understand what the point of Liu Kun attacking him was. Did he really think that forcing him to drop out of school would cause him serious harm?
After saying that, Mu Liuyun followed Li Hong into the Academic Affairs Office, while Shi Hengyu stayed at the door. Since there was no point in him going in, he could only stand outside the delivery room like a father waiting for his child to be born, waiting for the outcome.
Li Hong led Mu Liuyun into the principal's office. As soon as they entered, they saw an old man with a full head of white hair and a white beard, and a tall and fat uncle.
Li Hong led Mu Liuyun directly to the uncle and introduced him, saying, "This is my father, Vice Principal Li."
Mu Liuyun nodded to Vice Principal Li. Although Vice Principal Li was tall, his chubby face looked kind and approachable.
Vice Principal Li responded with a smile, but then his expression instantly turned displeased.
Then Li Hong pointed to the white-bearded old man next to her: "That's Principal Wang."
After saying that, she found a spot on the sofa and sat down next to her father.
Principal Wang smiled awkwardly and stroked his beard: "Mu Liuyun, right? I've heard of you."
With his white hair and beard, and the white clothes he wore that resembled a Taoist robe, Principal Wang really did look like a hermit.
"Principal Wang, I've heard of you too."
Mu Liuyun made conversation by sitting down opposite Principal Wang.
Principal Wang raised an eyebrow and spoke frankly: "To be frank, I'm about to retire, and I plan to collect a large sum of money for my retirement before I do, so I agreed to the Liu family's request."
"Of course, even if I don't agree, the outcome won't change in the slightest."
"So you just betrayed your pride like that?"
Looking at the wall covered with banners, Mu Liuyun asked a question.
"Pride? What's that worth? Once I get the money, I'll retire in a high-end community abroad. Who will know me then?"
Principal Wang waved his hand dismissively, his words incredibly arrogant, showing no fear that Mu Liuyun would use his words as evidence, after all, he had the Liu family backing him up.
"Young Master Liu gave me two choices: either you drop out of school, or you let Xiao Hong stay with him for a few days."
As he spoke, Principal Wang looked at Li Hong again: "Xiao Hong, I think you should just give in to Young Master Liu. Why not exchange some worthless things for something valuable?"
"I'll fuck your mother!"
Just as Li Hong was about to unleash a torrent of profanity, Vice Principal Li suddenly grabbed her and shook his head at her: "Come on, come out with me for a bit."
After saying that, Vice Principal Li forcefully pulled the reluctant Li Hong out of the principal's office.
As soon as Li Hong left, Principal Wang immediately changed his expression, staring at Mu Liuyun with eyes like an old wolf: "Mu Liuyun, instead of arguing about right and wrong, why don't we talk business?"
"Business?"
“Yes, it was a business deal. Young Master Liu originally didn’t intend to give you a single penny, but I told him that I could get you to issue a statement proving that what’s going on online is true. So, Young Master Liu agreed to give me a large sum of money, at least two million.”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"It's simple. You drop out of school and admit it, and I'll give you the two million. Isn't that great!"
Principal Wang suddenly became excited and raised his voice: "Look, even if you graduate from university, this amount of money is enough for you to work hard for decades. Now you have this opportunity, as long as you drop out of school, you can avoid working hard for decades. Why not take it?"
"That way I won't feel ashamed towards you, it's a win-win situation, isn't it!"
"Can you really avoid decades of hard work?"
Seeing Mu Liuyun muttering to herself, Principal Wang was secretly delighted. Actually, Liu Kun had told him it was four million, so this meant he could get an extra two million. When they went abroad, not only could he live in a high-end retirement community, but he might even be able to find a few young girls to live with and have fun.
"Yes, as long as you agree, I'll give you two million right away!"
Mu Liuyun's expression gradually became hesitant, and Principal Wang's expression became increasingly distorted.
"Say yes! Say yes now!"
"But I refuse."
Mu Liuyun suddenly raised her head and looked at Principal Wang with disdain.
What do you mean by skipping decades of hard work? He earns 3,000 a day, plus part-time income. That little bit of money isn't even enough for him.
Rather than admitting defeat to Liu Kun and his ilk, he would rather see them eat shit.
Although he didn't understand why Liu Kun insisted on him dropping out of school, he knew that Liu Kun was his enemy, and all he wanted to do was prevent Liu Kun from succeeding.
As for this war of words, Mu Liuyun had seen plenty of it in her previous life, especially when Western countries were spouting nonsense.
Mu Liuyun understood better than anyone that a war of public opinion is like a debate; the important thing is not to prove yourself right, but to prove the other side wrong.
As long as he can dig up even more damaging dirt on Liu Kun, then all the things he said before will fall apart!
Just as she was thinking this, Mu Liuyun received a text message on her phone. The sender was Long Haochen.
"Brother Mu, something's happened, something really big!"
