Long Haochen is unreliable in both appearance and personality, and he has no reason to help me, so the significance of this big news is questionable.
But as the old saying goes, it's never a bad thing to give it a try.
So after seeing Long Haochen's message, Mu Liuyun lost interest in continuing to chat with the white-bearded old man in front of her.
“Principal Wang, if I were you, instead of nagging Liu Kun for money, I would rather buy more insurance. That would be a much safer bet.”
Principal Wang frowned, his two white eyebrows meeting in the wrinkles between his forehead: "Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. Your expulsion is a foregone conclusion. Don't let it get to the point where you don't even get your money back!"
As they were talking, Principal Wang blocked the doorway, looking like he was going to force Mu Liuyun to give in.
After all, as long as Mu Liuyun agrees, he can easily get three million, so why not?
Vice Principal Li walked in from outside: "That's enough, Mu, you can leave now."
Vice Principal Li lifted Principal Wang aside like a chick, making room for Mu Liuyun to exit.
Principal Wang wasn't angry. Looking at Vice Principal Li and Mu Liuyun's backs, he said, "Old Li, you should think this through. Going against the Liu family isn't something a mere vice principal like you can handle."
Vice Principal Li simply ignored him, closed the door, and walked out.
As soon as Mu Liuyun stepped outside, she saw Sister Li standing there with a resentful expression.
"Xiaoyun, what did that old man say to you?"
Mu Liuyun gave a brief explanation, deliberately avoiding the topic of having Sister Li accompany Liu Kun for a few days.
"This old guy, I never realized he was this kind of person!"
Li Hong glared at the principal's office through gritted teeth, looking like she was about to rush in and beat the old man up at any moment.
Vice Principal Li sighed, "Old Wang, he used to be a very good teacher."
In fact, Principal Wang's dignified and otherworldly demeanor was not an act.
He has been a principal since he was young, and has never done anything out of line in all these decades. He is a truly good teacher.
But perhaps it's because I'm getting older now that my thoughts have changed, and it has become so unfamiliar to me.
Seeing Li Hong's angry expression, Mu Liuyun felt a surge of emotion: "It's my fault. I've caused you to become enemies with the Liu family, Sister Li."
Vice Principal Li shook his head: "Student Mu, my daughter is naturally fine. The Liu family doesn't affect us."
Mu Liuyun seemed to only just realize what was happening, and suddenly understood.
As Vice President Li said, although he does not have real power as the vice president of Jincheng University, he is still a ministerial-level cadre.
The Liu family is nothing more than nouveau riche who made their fortune in the entertainment industry. What gives them the right to attack legitimate Chinese officials?
"The problem lies with you."
Mu Liuyun nodded; the problem was indeed with him. Vice Principal Li wasn't afraid of the Liu family, but he was afraid of public opinion.
If they help Mu Liuyun, they are very likely to be dragged into a media storm by the Liu family, at which point the initiative will be handed over to the other side.
"Dad, are we just going to watch Xiaoyun get framed by them?"
Li Hong looked at her father anxiously, completely losing her usual intellectual demeanor.
Who wouldn't like someone as cute and strong as Mu Liuyun?
Li Hong was no exception; she really liked Mu Liuyun in front of her, feeling as if he were her own younger brother.
"Thank you, Principal Li, Sister Li, but it's alright, I have a way."
"You have a way? But can you solve it?"
There is a way, but Mu Liuyun didn't say whether it could solve the problem.
"Even if it can't be solved, it's not a big problem. Sister Li, have you forgotten? I've already started my internship at the Chu Family Group. Even if I get expelled from school, it won't affect me."
This is a lie. If it really can't be resolved, Mu Liuyun might go abroad with Old Man Mu. The Chu family father and daughter have been so good to him and his grandfather, and he doesn't want to affect the Chu family group because of himself.
I feel a little sorry for Mu Xiaoxi. She was doing well in her studies, but because of my part-time job, she had to go abroad in fear and anxiety.
There's nothing I can do but try to make up for Xiaoxi's shortcomings in other ways in the future.
"That won't do! I..."
Just as Li Hong was about to say something more excitedly, her father suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Okay, Mu, if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask us for help."
After saying that, Vice Principal Li pulled Li Hong away.
After taking only a few steps, Li Hong shook off Vice Principal Li's hand: "Dad, how could you do this? That child is an orphan. If we don't help him, no one else will."
Vice Principal Li said with a grave expression, "We can't help him."
…
…
As Mu Liuyun walked out of the building, she saw Shi Hengyu still squatting by the roadside, surrounded by several young women who were secretly laughing while looking at him.
Mu Liuyun didn't think too much about it and went up to greet him, "Brother Xiaoyu, are you done? Long Haochen said there's a situation on his end, let's go take a look."
Shi Hengyu agreed, gave a perfectly timed smile to the girls not far away, and then, amidst a few exclamations, followed Mu Liuyun out of the school.
"There aren't as many people here now as in the morning."
"Are you blind? The entrance is packed to the brim, and you're telling me there aren't many people?"
Looking at the sea of people around her, some leaving the school and some entering, Mu Liuyun looked at Shi Hengyu as if he were an idiot.
Shi Hengyu shrugged: "I mean, the people surrounding you, and those reporters, have all disappeared now."
Mu Liuyun looked around and found that it was indeed the case. When she first arrived at the school, there was a large group of people who insisted on taking pictures even when stopped by security guards, but now they were all gone.
Have they all gone to eat?
Yeah, I think so.
"Reporters need to eat too, so let's get going now."
Shi Hengyu nodded, hailed a taxi, and got in with Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun, who had never been a fan of celebrities, had no idea that gossip reporters were creatures who would risk their lives for news. How could they possibly stop their interviews just because of a mere lunch?
The only reason it can appear and disappear so suddenly, like a cockroach, is that there's bigger news coming out.
At this very moment, a large group of reporters were gathered downstairs at the Chu Family Group building, creating a massive crowd.
The sheer number of people made even the burly security guards appear petite and delicate in comparison.
Even with the security guards' efforts to stop them, a few slippery individuals still managed to cross the cordon and sneak into the Golden Building, rushing all the way to the floor where the president's office was located.
Believing in the idiom "the law does not punish the masses," they forcefully pushed open the door to the president's office and then started taking pictures like crazy.
Less than a minute later, a photo of Lantian Group President Shen Jiachen Lanxin and Chu Family Group President Chu Jiachu Yaqin shaking hands went viral online.
"The Chu family and the Shen family have officially announced their cooperation!"
"How much sparks can be created by putting people's livelihood and high-end luxury goods together?"
"Shen Lanxin and Chu Yaqin are suspected of fighting because of Xiao Nan's brewing!"
Shen Lanxin and Chu Yaqin, holding each other's hands, looked at the reporters scattered all over the ground like trash, exchanged a glance, and then laughed together.
"Since the Lin family doesn't want us to participate, then we won't participate."
"Yeah, just steal Xiaoyun's thunder."
"That old man probably never imagined... what Xiaoyun, that's my Xiaoyun!"
"mine!"
