Chapter 76 Not only must you guard against men, you also need to guard against women.
Bai Tiantian poked Lin Xi's waist with her finger, "Your domineering CEO calls you 'Xi Xi'? Hurry up and go over there."
Lin Xi was pushed out by Bai Tiantian. She glanced at Song Xu's expression and had no choice but to walk to Song Xu's side.
Song Xu took Lin Xi's hand and pulled her to sit down beside him. "This is my girlfriend, Lin Xi."
Both principals nodded in agreement. This was more like it; they looked much better together.
Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi's shoulder and rubbed his nose against her hair. "My Xi Xi smells the best. Before you came, there was a woman who insisted on sitting next to me. The smell was awful, enough to kill flies."
Lin Xi glanced at the people in the office. The only woman who had arrived before her was Liu Ting. Did Song Xu mean that Liu Ting had harassed him?
She suddenly remembered her duty: to pretend to be Song Xu's girlfriend in order to help him fend off these unwanted romantic advances.
Lin Xi glared at Liu Ting, "How come some people are not only willing to steal other people's manuscripts, but also willing to steal other people's boyfriends? Are they reincarnated robbers?"
Liu Ting couldn't hold back any longer, "Lin Xi, who are you talking about?"
"Whoever responds is being criticized," Lin Xi sneered. "Feeling guilty, huh?"
"Who stole your manuscript?" Just now, her uncle said it was nothing, which meant that Lin Xi had no evidence. Liu Ting confronted Lin Xi directly, "You're not leaving until you explain yourself clearly today."
"Don't you know whether you wrote the manuscript yourself?" Lin Xi really couldn't stand people who would touch other people's things without permission. Just because she didn't care didn't mean she was easy to bully.
“You’re a thief by nature,” Lin Xi said, feeling less confident sitting down. She stood up abruptly. “Last time you stole my grades and rankings, and this time you stole my speech. But that’s not all. Now you’re openly trying to seduce my boyfriend.”
"Liu Ting, I admit I'm better than you, but you can't just keep taking advantage of everyone."
Bai Tiantian was laughing uncontrollably beside her; it turned out her Xixi was quite talkative.
Song Xu looked at Lin Xi with a smile. He was very satisfied with her performance today. He pulled Lin Xi back to the sofa and gently put his arm around her waist. "Xi Xi, don't be angry. The school leaders are all reasonable people. They will stand up for us."
The two principals had already learned the whole story from the principal's assistant, and after hearing Lin Xi and Song Xu's words, they knew that they had to give an explanation today.
Liu Ting's face changed between white, red, and black. She was speechless and could only whine to the deputy director next to her, "Uncle, please say something."
When Deputy Director Liu learned that Lin Xi was Song Xu's girlfriend, he was stunned. He knew he was doomed and had kicked a hornet's nest.
He had just secretly asked the principal's assistant and learned that the boy sitting on the sofa was the future successor of Huayue Group.
In those few stunned seconds, he failed to stop Liu Ting. By the time he realized what Liu Ting had said, it was too late.
"President Song, I'm sorry," Deputy Director Liu said, forcing himself to make amends. "It's all a misunderstanding. I got your girlfriend's speech from Teacher Wang. I thought it was very well written, so I sent it to Liu Ting."
“I originally intended for her to use it as a reference, but I didn’t expect her to use it directly. I’m really sorry, it’s my fault for not disciplining her properly. I’ll have Liu Ting apologize to Lin Xi.”
When the law school leader heard what Deputy Director Liu said, he was stunned. He grabbed Deputy Director Liu by the collar and said, "What did you say? Liu Ting's speech was really written by Lin Xi? Why didn't you say that in the stadium just now!"
Because he didn't know Lin Xi had powerful connections at the time, Deputy Director Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, I wanted to explain a few more words at the time, but you were in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to listen."
The law school leaders really wanted to punch him a few times, but unfortunately, it wasn't the right place. He gradually calmed down and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I will immediately withdraw my decision to punish Lin Xi and her two classmates."
“Xiao Wang was also wronged.” He then looked at Teacher Wang, who was standing silently to the side.
“Xiao Wang, you too,” Deputy Director Liu found another person to shift the blame for, “Lin Xi’s arrival in our institute is such a big deal, why didn’t you tell me? Now there’s been such a big misunderstanding.”
Teacher Wang was shocked by Deputy Director Liu's shameless remarks. She didn't care about anything else now. "Director Liu, how can you talk like that? I chose Lin Xi as the freshman representative because I thought she was excellent, not because she had any background."
"If it were any other student with no connections today, would you and your niece not have to apologize and could plagiarize without any recourse?"
“You…” Deputy Director Liu did not expect that Teacher Wang would contradict him in front of so many leaders.
"Uncle, you were the one who gave me the manuscript. You could have just let me read it directly. Why should I apologize to Lin Xi?" Liu Ting was very dissatisfied with her uncle's explanation.
"Shut up!" Deputy Director Liu was furious with his stupid niece.
Song Xu was too lazy to listen to their back-and-forth and wasting his and Lin Xi's time. He pulled Lin Xi to stand up and said, "Alright, anyway, things are clear now. They admit that the speech was written by my Xi Xi. The rest is up to you, Principal."
"Xixi and I don't ask for much. We just want them to admit their mistakes in front of the whole school and apologize to Xixi. As for job transfers and such, that's not my business."
"Xi Xi, let's go first." Song Xu pulled Lin Xi and walked outside.
Lin Xi nodded slightly to Teacher Wang, and when they passed Bai Tiantian, she took her hand and led her out of the principal's office.
Once outside the principal's office, Bai Tiantian started gossiping. She stared at Lin Xi and Song Xu's tightly clasped hands and said, "Xi Xi, you two... he really became your domineering CEO boyfriend!"
“Sweetie, actually I…” Lin Xi tried to explain, but Song Xu interrupted her.
“That’s right,” Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi’s shoulder, broke Lin Xi’s hand from Bai Tiantian’s, and pulled Lin Xi toward him. “You can’t just get close to Xi Xi anymore.”
"No," Bai Tiantian widened her eyes and pointed at Song Xu, cursing, "Are you sick? I'm a woman who likes men. What's the meaning of you being so wary of me?"
Lin Xi looked at Song Xu in disbelief. "Brother Xu, are you kidding me? Tian Tian and I are good friends."
“Friendship is fine,” Song Xu said coldly, “but physical contact shouldn’t be too intimate. Women these days aren’t very reliable.”
Song Xu glanced at Bai Tiantian. Besides this woman, there was another woman named Jiang Ran who was even more dangerous. He had to keep an eye on Lin Xi, not only men but also women.
