Chapter 64 is bizarre.
A large group of people from the Liu and Meng families arrived.
They want to settle privately.
Their lawyers analyzed the pros and cons for them, concluding that they had no chance of winning the case unless they reached a private settlement.
Dropping out of school is a minor issue; the three families will face exorbitant compensation claims.
Jing Ge definitely shouldn't show his face: "Then I'll go back."
"Ah," Lin Mi quickly grabbed her, "Where is President Li?"
“I won’t see him,” Jing Ge said. “I’ve come to give you a gift, Sister Lin.”
Secretary Lin was both amused and exasperated: "Wait for me in the secretary's office for a moment..."
Jing Ge: "My colleague is still in the finance department, I can go there."
Lin Mi still wanted to keep her.
Just then—
The door to the president's office opened from the inside, and a soft female voice said, "Everyone, please calm down. The school leaders and I will try our best to advocate for you. If you keep making a scene like this, we won't be able to talk."
The pleading voice became clear instantly: "Teacher Qian, Teacher Qian, you must put in a good word for my child! We are just an ordinary family, and our child is about to graduate. We can't compete with that."
"...Please don't get agitated," Qian Jing frowned almost imperceptibly. "What's this talk about competing? Nobody wants to compete with them. They're the ones who really did something wrong."
"Yes, yes, it's because we can't speak."
"We are desperate. Please, you and the school leaders, help us and ask the big boss not to bother with us small fry."
Despite her discomfort, Qian Jing said, "We'll try our best."
Jingge had never seen her before.
Lin Mi introduced in a low voice: "She is one of President Li's blind date partners. She has come a few times recently. This time, she came with the school leaders as Meng Shi and Liu Sisi's counselor."
Jing Ge nodded slightly: "I'll go first..."
"Secretary Lin," Qian Jing's voice suddenly came, "Could you please bring me Mu Shi's medicine?"
Secretary Lin paused briefly, then turned around with a businesslike smile: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Upon noticing Jing Ge behind her, Qian Jing exclaimed, "A guest?"
After saying that, she looked him over carefully for a second: "Jing Ge, right?"
Lin Mi's expression was somewhat unsteady.
The people in the corridor seemed to know Jing Ge's name. After a brief silence, they immediately gathered around.
"Jing Ge? You're Jing Ge, right? Could you please put in a good word for me...?"
"It's Miss Jing. I've seen your class photo with Sisi and the others. It's definitely you."
Lin Mi's expression turned cold. She simply grabbed Jing Ge's hand and led her inside, saying, "Excuse me."
Now that we've been discovered, there's no point in hiding anymore.
“Miss Jing,” one of the older women grabbed Jing Ge’s arm in the chaos, “Miss Jing…”
The old man's grip was extremely strong, and Jing Ge winced in pain, unable to help but hiss.
Lin Mi quickly pulled her into his arms: "What are you doing!"
"Grandma Sisi," Qian Jing advised, "please let go first, let me talk to her, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the old man released his hand.
Qian Jing scrutinized Jing Ge for a moment, then said softly, "I am Meng Shi and Liu Sisi's counselor..."
“Excuse me, Ms. Qian,” Lin Mi interrupted her for the first time, disregarding etiquette. “Gege has always been a child in front of President Li. She doesn’t understand these things. You should talk to President Li about this.”
A secretary who is adept at dealing with people in public is rarely seen as tough.
Qian Jing was embarrassed and froze for half a second before flashing a generous and polite smile and nodding to step aside.
Jing Ge was escorted by Lin Mi into Li Mushi's office.
This is Jing Ge's first time here.
The office is very soundproof; once the door is closed, all outside noise is completely silenced, as if the spacebar has been pressed.
The reception room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and wisps of steam rose from the water.
Several university leaders sat upright, with the man in the central seat leaning against the back of the sofa, his long legs crossed, exuding a powerful yet indifferent aura.
Lin Mi's expression was not good: "President Li, the princess has arrived."
“…” Li Mushi paused noticeably.
Without needing to ask further, the fact that Lin Mi lost his composure and interrupted his meeting must mean that those people outside had entangled Jing Ge.
Jingge felt like a little mouse that had suddenly wandered into a human seminar.
Flustered, flustered.
How did she get involved?
Li Mushi put his feet down, sat up straighter, and gestured with his chin to the empty seat next to him: "Come here."
Jing Ge was still in a daze.
Lin Mi nudged her and asked, "Do you want to take your medicine now?"
Li Mushi: "No need."
“Okay,” Lin Mi said meaningfully, “Miss Qian is worried about you.”
Li Mushi raised his eyelids, and his amber pupils darkened slightly in the light.
Lin Mi didn't say anything more.
The man shifted his gaze slightly and repeated, "Jing Ge, come here."
Jing Ge was startled and quickly sat down next to him. There were university leaders next to her, and she unconsciously became reserved, only sitting on the edge of the sofa with her hands folded on her knees.
The eyes of the people opposite her all fell on her at the same time.
Li Mushi didn't introduce them, and casually stuffed the cushion next to him into her empty back.
Qian Jing happened to see this scene when she came in.
“I told them to go back first,” Qian Jing said gently, “and let them know when there are results.”
The school leader smiled ingratiatingly: "President Li, please feel free to name any conditions you have..."
“I am not a threat,” Li Mushi said calmly, “and there is no room for ‘conditions’.”
"......"
Several school leaders exchanged glances and looked to Qian Jing for help.
Jing Ge kept his eyes fixed on a spot reflecting light on the tea table, trying to minimize his presence.
"Is this Princess?" Qian Jing asked with a smile. "I heard that you, Meng Shi, and Liu Sisi are old classmates?"
This was the second time she had tried to steer the conversation toward Jing Ge.
Jing Ge lowered his eyes for a moment, then turned to look at the man beside him.
Li Mushi glanced at her indifferently, without responding.
It seemed like she could say whatever she wanted.
Jing Ge raised her eyelashes and looked at Qian Jing: "Mm."
“Old classmates are easy to deal with,” Qian Jing said, extremely relaxed. “I’ll help you invite them out for a meal, catch up, how about it?”
Jing Ge: "You don't need to help me, I don't want to see them."
"......"
One of the school leaders coughed lightly: "That's not what we meant. It's just that since we're old classmates, we should get together and reminisce about our time on campus."
Jing Ge's gaze was clear and sharp: "Do you want to recall the time when they bullied you?"
The relaxed and joyful expressions of the group of people suddenly froze.
Jingge lowered his eyes: "I don't want to recall this."
Things took a sudden turn for the worse.
No one expected this turn of events.
Qian Jing's expression cracked repeatedly, and she couldn't even muster a smile.
No wonder.
No wonder.
All the strange things, both illogical and plausible, subtly came together at this moment.
It's quite strange that someone as powerful as Li Mushi, who could control everything in Haishi, would hold onto three unknown girls so tightly.
Furthermore, no matter how many people pleaded for leniency later on, there was no change in their stance.
It turns out that everything has a traceable origin.
The bubbling sound of water boiling.
"Your school's handling of this matter has truly opened my eyes," Li Mushi said coldly. "Instead of punishing and restraining those who made mistakes, you're trying to drag the innocent into this and shift the blame. Do you all still remember that it was I who filed the lawsuit, not her?"
