In the dean's office, the voice that spoke was somewhat hoarse yet gentle, clearly that of a woman.
Lu Mingming was surprised to find the name somewhat familiar.
"Hehe, then I'll bring Teacher Mingming in!"
Elsa smiled mischievously, as if it were a common occurrence, and pushed open the heavy wooden door with all her might.
The little girl skipped and hopped into the room, not forgetting to turn back and remind them.
"Teacher Mingming came with me. Grandma is a very nice person."
Lu Mingming nodded hesitantly.
She took a deep breath, slowly relaxed her brows, and followed Elsa into the dean's office.
The dean's office is quite spacious, about fifty square meters, with basic facilities similar to a classroom.
What's rather unique is:

On the left is a mahogany bookshelf, densely packed with popular contemporary interstellar books, clean and tidy.
On the other wall hang many portraits of college donors and celebrities, each one a masterpiece of craftsmanship, so lifelike they seem to be right in front of you.
The dean sat in the massage chair in the center, with a tall solid wood table in front of him.
The chair was facing away from Lu Mingming, making it impossible to see his face.
The enormous massage chair made Lu Mingming involuntarily tense up, as if she had stepped into a TV drama and was facing the final boss.
"grandmother!"
Elsa ran over with her little legs clattering, calling out in her clear, crisp voice.
"Yes, please have a seat, Teacher Mingming."
The massage chair slowly turned, gradually revealing the dean's true face.
The tall, elderly woman was holding a pot of warm water to warm her hands.

She was dressed in the most ordinary woman's attire, even wearing an old and faded floral dress.
The old woman had streaks of white hair at her temples, a somewhat long nose, and a kind smile on her face.
How could it be her?!
Lu Mingming and the little white tiger were both surprised.
Isn't this the old woman who came up to us asking for food when we were visiting Dreamy Starry Sea a few days ago?!
When the old woman finished eating and left, she learned Lu Mingming's live stream ID and the details of the match before she left, and said that she would meet again.
Lu Mingming initially thought it was just polite talk, but she didn't expect the old woman to be telling the truth, and now they had indeed met again.
Presumably, the other party had already confirmed their identity and agreed to participate in the third round of the competition.
"Grandma, this is Teacher Mingming. Her child has gone missing. Do you think you can help?"
Aisha tugged at her grandmother's arm, using her unique, coquettish voice to charm her.

"Do you remember me? Mingming, the streamer."
The old woman seemed to remember the incident just as vividly, her cheeks creased with smiles.
"Of course I remember, I didn't expect it to be you."
Lu Mingming gave a brief answer.
Seeing that the two knew each other, Elsa pouted and went to play with the little white tiger by herself.
The little white tiger completely ignored the other person, lost in its own thoughts.
So he's the dean of the Royal Academy of Sal City?
Orannal pieced together fragments of memories about the old woman; the last time he saw her was at the heirs' banquet.
After confirming it several times, the little white tiger, who had never revealed its true form to anyone, breathed a sigh of relief.
No need to worry about revealing your identity.
Lu Mingming continued his lively conversation with the old woman.
The old woman said, "My original name is Salche, so you can call me Salche or Mrs. Salche."
Lu Mingming politely addressed Mrs. Salche and briefly reiterated yesterday's unexpected events.
During this time, Madame Salche tapped the table gently and rhythmically with her fingers.
After Lu Mingming finished speaking, Madame Salche paused for a moment, then slowly revealed herself in the quiet atmosphere:
“Mingming, do you know how crazy Xingfuxing’s StarNet news went this morning because of you?”
Lu Mingming was clearly unaware of the situation and remained stunned without reacting.
She woke up, washed up, and rushed to the dean's office. How could she know anything else?
Lady Salche sighed, turned on the StarNet for Lu Mingming to see the screen, and added:
"As that wicked man said, they hired a group of online trolls to hype up the headline 'A certain anchor lost her cub last night' on StarNet."

Immediately, netizens on the StarNet began comparing and searching, and found that only your number of red flowers was zero.
On the pale blue screen, the entertainment section is engaged in a heated argument.
Countless comments flooded in, reaching a level of 99+ per second.
Lu Mingming glanced at a few comments briefly.
They all said she had committed the heinous crime of deliberately losing her cub, and requested that Xing Fuxing remove Lu Mingming's spot from the competition and permanently ban her.
Lu Mingming understood.
Isn't this a blatant conspiracy to make her take the blame?!
"In addition to the Nine-Tailed Fox, whom you previously brought down, her management company also took action."
Another one is the streamer Oscar. I don't understand what you did to offend him. He posted a sarcastic comment and then deleted it immediately, which escalated the situation to a new level.
