Chapter 1055: There's No Need to Continue
The principal frowned upon hearing this. "Really, what are you doing here at this time? You're just making things worse!"
He could have pretended to be stupid and fooled people, and maybe he could have gotten away with it. But when those two old people come over, well, he'll have to step aside. In the end, he'll definitely have to take the blame himself. Luckily, his family is there to help him. So be it, he'll go in if he wants. Sigh.
In consideration of the fact that I helped them, I hope they can safely send their family members out, or at least provide some assistance.
The principal looked at Gu Yin: "This..."
Gu Yin looked at the approaching vehicles and said, "No rush, it's fine to go later. When the leader arrives, we should definitely greet him first."
Several cars quickly arrived in front of Gu Yin.
The car door opened, and two elderly people with white hair stepped out of the back seat, leaning on their canes.
The two of them glanced at Gu Yin and Chi Xing.
Jiang Ci and Chen Yanheng walked over to the two elderly people and took their hands.
"Grandpa, the one with white hair is Zhou Guyin."
The two of them informed the old man at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin smiled and stepped forward, extending her hand: "Elder Jiang, Elder Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Zhou Gu Yin."
Although Gu Yin frequently went in and out of the Red House, she had basically never met any of the former leaders and senior officials from Beijing or other places, though she had seen them on television a few times.
Although his hair was white, Jiang Lao, still full of energy, smiled and extended his hand: "I have long heard of Comrade Xiao Zhou's name, but this is the first time I have met her. She is indeed as rumored, beautiful and intelligent, and a pillar of the country at first glance."
Gu Yin grasped the other man's hand. Unlike ordinary wealthy men, his hands were rough, with calluses on his palms. He was an old general who had done practical work and had reached the top of power, but he was still tempted by power.
"You flatter me. Everyone is a pillar of the nation, just with different responsibilities."
After saying that, he reached out his hand to Old Chen and said, "Hello, sir!"
"Comrade Xiao Zhou is already doing things for the country at such a young age. What a young hero! My grandson is still studying at the same age. Oh, I envy your grandfather for having such a good granddaughter. You and Yanheng are the same age. You can play together sometime and help him improve."
Old Jiang, standing to the side, pursed his lips. This old rascal is so cunning; he's trying to lure her back as his granddaughter-in-law!
"What's so fun about playing with a brat? Girls should play with other girls. Comrade Xiao Zhou doesn't come to Jiangcheng often, so Jiang Ci can show you around."
Old Chen: "...Comrade Xiao Zhou is a very busy person, and his time is very precious. He doesn't have time to wander around. By the way, what brings you to this branch school? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Gu Yin ignored their individual contests and turned around with a smile: "I do have important matters to attend to. This is not the time for idle chatter. If you have time, come and take a look. They are waiting to be saved over there."
Hearing Gu Yin's words, the principal, remembering what he had done yesterday, closed his eyes, clutched his heart, and followed.
When they arrived at the treatment room, seeing the beds full of students, the principal really wanted to close the door!
Gu Yin glanced at the principal, then went inside.
Upon seeing someone approaching, and recognizing it as the principal, the students all stood up to greet him.
"Hello, Principal."
headmaster:......
Fine, principal it is then. I've made so many mistakes anyway, so what difference does it make if I get this title?
Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing.
Chi Xing nodded and went to deal with the situation in each ward.
Upon witnessing Chi Xing's methods, everyone suddenly thought of the mysterious girl who had been following Gu Yin around for many years.
The two elderly leaders' eyes became even more profound.
The principal's legs trembled even more.
"Speak, why did you gather so many people together and use your superpowers?"
The principal wiped away his sweat: "They...they're in their daily training."
"Daily training consists of instructors and trainees sparring together without any distinction between them?"
"Wasn't it said that an unregistered student who was bribed in was the one who did the dirty work?"
Old Jiang asked in confusion.
"Is that me you're talking about?" Chi Xing heard this as she walked in.
Old Jiang smiled and shook his head: "Of course not you, I'm talking about the one who injured these students yesterday."
Chi Xing nodded innocently: "Oh, so you mean me."
Old Jiang: "......"
Old Jiang looked at the principal: "What exactly happened?"
The principal cursed inwardly, but had to pretend otherwise: "It really was training. As for how they started fighting, it's because they weren't proficient in using their superpowers yet, so they hit the instructor! What you saw next was what happened."
"I see, then it's understandable." Old Chen nodded in agreement.
Gu Yin chuckled: "Isn't it because the students wanted to graduate early and wanted to get another injection, which the instructors objected to, and then they got into a fight?"
"How could that be! We followed the rules exactly. Headquarters strictly requires that we not do anything reckless. How could we violate such basic common sense? That's impossible!" Upon hearing this, the principal immediately shook his head seriously.
Headquarters strictly forbids a second injection; any further improvement in abilities will require continuous hard training, as well as changes in diet and environment.
Training is something an individual needs to do. Food is being produced in large quantities over Dabai Mountain, but the environment is not yet ready. After all, in this era, environmental pollution is quite severe, and spiritual plants are extremely rare.
At this point, by violating regulations and taking unconventional measures, aren't they openly defying headquarters' rules? Not only will the principal's position be revoked, but his previous government post will also be taken away!
Even if you feel like you can't go on, you still have to struggle, right? So how could you dare admit it?!
Gu Yin didn't look at him, but instead looked at the injured trainee and said in a deep voice, "Why not just train properly? Why inject a second time? Are you the only smart ones? If two injections can improve the abilities of superhumans, why don't we do it? Do you think we're idiots?"
The students in the room looked at each other, but best of all remained silent.
"Did the person who gave you this idea tell you that registering twice is consuming your lives? You don't have long to live. I am the president of the hospital and the person in charge of this project. If you can't accept what I say, then there's nothing I can do."
"How could that be! They've conducted experiments! Their abilities have indeed improved a lot! Those people are still alive and well!! Their strength is also getting stronger and stronger! Some are almost catching up with the instructors! They don't look like they're about to die at all!"
One of the boys panicked a little and immediately spoke up to refute Gu Yin.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Yin immediately turned to the principal: "You conducted experiments?! You used people as subjects?! Considering the start date of your semester, it's only been two or three months! Even if you were conducting experiments, it would take several years from the beginning to clinical application! You dared to use them on people in such a short time!! Are you tired of living?!"
The principal took two steps back after being swept over by Gu Yin's sharp gaze.
"No, that's not true! He's making things up! You can investigate! Don't just listen to his side of the story!"
Gu Yin was genuinely angry. How dare these people do that?!
If she could achieve a second improvement, wouldn't she do it? These potions are already at the peak of what the human body can currently withstand! Another dose would be burning away her life force!! This is prematurely draining all her bodily functions!! A hundred-year lifespan, reduced to thirty!
“You can choose not to speak now, but according to what he said, you have conducted experiments, and this batch is not the first. If a large number of trainees die later, you, and all the officials of Jiangcheng, will be judged by the people.”
"No, no, no, how could this be fatal? It's all the same medicine, and the dosage is minimal. Besides, we've done experiments; as long as there's enough food from Dabai Mountain, it's perfectly fine!"
There are quite a few people registering again. Why? It's because the Jiang and Chen families are rapidly absorbing a large number of people with superpowers!
Elsewhere, they might graduate only once a year, but here they graduate once a month. After four or five years, the number of superhumans in Jiangcheng, or rather, the superhumans belonging to the Jiang and Chen families, could very well surpass the national average, and perhaps even exceed the abilities of those in the military due to secondary registration!
It's really hard to say who will have the power then! A new era is coming, how will they know they won't be sitting in the highest position if they don't give it their all?
Most importantly, once they reach that stage, they'll have priority access to all resources, and Gu Yin even mentioned at the press conference that this thing can extend life! Based on their speculation and inside information, living to two hundred years old is no problem!
How attractive are rights, lifespan, and so on?
"The food from Mount Dabai only removes excess impurities from your body!! It's not a spiritual offering for your cultivation!! How many people are there in the whole country? How big is Mount Dabai? If everyone followed your example, have you thought about the consequences? You must have thought about it, but what do other people have to do with you? Compared to your interests, what are they? Right?"
Although Gu Yin didn't say anything to them, Old Jiang and Old Chen's expressions started to turn sour.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, everyone can see that I have dedicated my life to the country and the people."
"We have always put the people's interests first. What you said has broken the hearts of us old comrades."
The two spoke one after the other.
Gu Yin chuckled: "So, after a lifetime of hard work, is it worth it to have your reputation ruined in your old age?"
......
"Haha, Comrade Zhou, you're really joking. Such a thing is simply impossible." Old Jiang shook his head with a smile.
Gu Yin didn't listen to their explanations anymore, but instead tossed the student handbook to the principal.
"I'm not here today to put on an act and have a conversation with you, but to inform you that the Jiangcheng branch school has violated no fewer than ten of the headquarters' regulations! There's no point in continuing to operate this school."
