Chapter 46 Zhang Wenxian's Apology
Ren Zheng frowned slightly, and the others were also stunned.
Before they could figure out why Zhang Wenxian said that, they heard him continue:
"Principal Ren, Yu Cang is so young, yet he's already produced results of this caliber. What's the point of only giving him Lab 22?"
Zhang Wenxian started to scowl again.
If this kind of achievement were to be placed in the imperial capital, he could guarantee that the Ancient Capital University wouldn't even have to make a move, the Soul Card Master Association would simply give away a state-of-the-art laboratory for free, and no one would care where the funds were spent.
For at least ten years, no one will say a word if you put all the funds into your own pocket!
Giving Yu Cang a Laboratory No. 22 now, what’s that?
As for the issue of Yu Cang's academic plagiarism... he has already figured it out.
His friend in the imperial capital said that Yu Cang stole the results of one of Wu Chutai's students... Haha, he knew that old guy too well. Not to mention his students, even if Wu Chutai himself came in person, he couldn't come up with such an amazing thing!
Moreover, based on his understanding of Wu Chutai, if such a prototype was really born in his laboratory, it would have been known to all the people in Yan Country by now. How could there be no news at all now? If he wanted to understand the situation, he had to find out now.
I must have been tricked by those old guys in the imperial capital!
Therefore, Zhang Wenxian's attitude immediately changed. Just as he had doubted Cang, he now liked him as much as he did.
In his opinion, Ren Zheng's behavior was too petty and violated the principles of fairness and justice.
He absolutely cannot allow this kind of unhealthy trend to grow in Gudu University!
Ren Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed an expression that was neither funny nor sad.
He said helplessly, "Mr. Zhang, Yu Cang is just a student. It's not good to take big steps..."
Damn, miscalculated!
It’s not that Ren Zheng didn’t want to give Yu Cang a good laboratory, but he really didn’t expect that Yu Cang would do such a big thing today!
Originally, he thought that Yu Cang had only shown a Jedi Knight, and giving Yu Cang the number 22 directly was a result that he had to risk his reputation to do so.
If he had known earlier that Yu Cang had these two trump cards in his hands, there would be no need for Zhang Wenxian to speak. Not only would the laboratory have to be arranged in place, but the banners in the school would have to be replaced with Yu Cang's name the next day!
Well... that's a bit exaggerated.
But at the moment, he certainly couldn't say that he didn't know what Yu Cang had achieved, as that would make him seem very immature... So he could only try his best to make amends for himself.
"Don't talk about useless things. Young people have talent and we should let them use it freely. What's the point of being so hesitant?" Zhang Wenxian took a few steps forward. "If you don't want to give Yu Cang the laboratory, then fine, I'll give Yu Cang my No. 2 laboratory. Is that okay?"
Behind Zhang Wenxian, several researchers who followed him suddenly slapped their foreheads.
No, it looked like everything was going well, how come the fire spread to my own house?
Although they were extremely reluctant to give up the lab, they didn't dare to persuade Zhang Wenxian. They knew their own mentor's temper best. Once he was determined on something, no one could make him back down.
How could Ren Zheng dare to take back Zhang Wenxian's laboratory in front of so many people? He could only say, "Mr. Zhang, if you have something to say, please talk it over. Today's incident is just the beginning for Yu Cang. I will definitely make up for it in the future..."
"I don't care!" Zhang Wenxian looked like he was going to take advantage of his seniority today.
The other teachers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
In fact, until now, some of them still think that it is a bit inappropriate to give a laboratory to a student alone. Apart from anything else, Yu Cang is young and inexperienced after all. If there is no one to guide him, who knows what experimental accidents may happen.
But the two gods above were about to fight over this matter...they didn't dare to interrupt.
"Um...this teacher." Seeing that an argument was about to break out, the confused Yu Cang could only speak in a confused manner, "Regarding the laboratory issue, the 22nd is enough. I don't need very good equipment in my future plans..."
This is also the truth. His focus in the future should be on improving his strength. It would be a waste to give him a laboratory that is too large.
"Hmm? Is that so?" Zhang Wenxian saw that Yu Cangdu had spoken, and his expression relaxed. He said, "Yu Cang, don't worry. From now on in the ancient capital, if anyone doubts you, I will be the first one to scold them for you!"
"Haha." Ren Zheng smiled wryly.
No, who are you?
I hate some old guys who have no sense of boundaries.
At Ancient Capital University, does it really require you to intervene when Yu Cang is wronged?
How good at finding work for yourself.
Before Ren Zheng could say anything, Zhang Wenxian had already strolled onto the stage.
The old man looked at Yu Cang and said seriously, "Yu Cang, I have a serious question for you. I hope you can answer me truthfully."
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening, but he nodded: "Teacher, you say."
"Did they wrongly accuse you of what happened in the imperial capital?"
Yu Cang's pupils shrank.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I have a clear conscience."
Zhang Wenxian carefully observed every second of Yu Cang's expression, and then he hummed, "I understand."
Taking a few steps back, Zhang Wenxian straightened his clothes and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, classmate Yu Cang. I listened to the words of some old friends in the imperial capital and caused unnecessary misunderstandings about you. I apologize to you here."
"Ah?" Yu Cang was stunned again.
What happened?
He was completely unaware of Zhang Wenxian's previous actions, and was suddenly bowed to, which really scared him.
He was terrified and embarrassed. If the floor of the podium hadn't been hard enough, Yu Cang would have dug out a three-bedroom apartment.
He quickly helped Zhang Wenxian up and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Zhang Wenxian stood up and said, "Student Yu Cang, I mistakenly thought your academic achievements were plagiarized and I said some bad things about you. Don't worry, I will help you clarify it one by one!"
As he spoke, he faced the audience and said seriously, "What I said to Principal Ren before was indeed untrue. The mistake was mine. I hope you will not misunderstand such an outstanding young man like Yu Cang because of this."
Yu Cang: Use a fake smile to hide the embarrassment.
Fortunately, Zhang Wenxian didn't let Yu Cang feel embarrassed for long, and he stepped down and came in front of Jing Zhao.
"Dean Jing, can you give me a list of the people who will be participating in the defense today?"
Before the defense, many people heard the conversation between me and Ren Zheng. Some of them might have had something urgent to do or had classes, so they left in the middle of the defense.
And Zhang Wenxian naturally would not miss these people, he had to explain them one by one!
After all, he knew only too well how important reputation was to a card maker.
"This..." Jing Zhao probably guessed what Zhang Wenxian was going to do. "I'll just send a message later. There's no need for you to explain it in person."
It was outrageous for an old professor to personally do this. If others heard about it, they would definitely blame Jing Zhao for being ignorant.
But Zhang Wenxian was very stubborn: "No, this kind of thing must be convincing enough if I go there in person!"
Jing Zhao had no choice but to look at Guan Qingrui and Hu Jingzhi for help, hoping that his two old friends Zhang Wenxian could persuade him.
But I found that they both had a nonchalant expression, and they were watching Zhang Wenxian's excitement while laughing secretly.
