Chapter 74 My Girlfriend Was Bullied
Song Xu didn't receive a reply from Lin Xi, but he saw her and Bai Tiantian standing up and excitedly shouting something from afar.
Gradually, the voices from the other end grew louder. Song Xu pricked up his ears to listen carefully and heard them shouting: "Liu Ting is shameless."
Who is Liu Ting? Song Xu glanced at the girl standing in front of the topic. She had just introduced herself, and it seemed that her name was Liu Ting.
Since they've cursed like this, it means the speech wasn't sold by Xixi, but was stolen. Song Xu snorted coldly, thinking how audacious they were to use it without even checking who Xixi's backer was.
The leaders on the platform also heard the students' shouts and looked at each other, wondering what was going on and what they were shouting.
The law school leaders and teachers quickly ran over to the freshmen and told them to stop shouting.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting! What's going on? Who started shouting?"
When everyone saw the teachers and leaders arrive, they slowly shut their mouths. Only Bai Tiantian and Lin Xi were still excitedly shouting, "Liu Ting, you shameless thing! Stealing other people's work is illegal!"
"You two, get down here!" A hospital leader pointed at Bai Tiantian and Lin Xi, his voice filled with anger.
The top leaders are all sitting on the stage. Today, we also invited many government leaders and CEOs of partner companies. With this commotion, the law school has become famous. He might get implicated.
Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian walked down from the back stands hand in hand.
The hospital leader, his face contorted with rage, shouted, "What are you two shouting about? And you even dare to encourage others to shout along! Do you know what the consequences will be?"
“We didn’t shout anything,” Bai Tiantian said, straightening her back without flinching. “It was Liu Ting who used someone else’s speech without permission.”
Liu Ting's uncle, Deputy Director Liu, followed behind the hospital leaders, furious. He stepped forward and said, "What evidence do you have? Making baseless accusations without evidence is slander."
Bai Tiantian whispered to Lin Xi beside her, "Xi Xi, do you have any evidence?"
Lin Xi was touched by Bai Tiantian's trust. She didn't even have any evidence, but Tiantian believed her and even stood up for her.
Lin Xi nodded. "I have evidence. I sent the speech to Teacher Wang as soon as I finished writing it."
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Teacher Wang, who was standing behind the college leaders.
Ms. Wang broke out in a cold sweat. She had no idea that Liu Ting had used Lin Xi's speech.
This year, it was the law school's turn to be the freshman representative. The leadership had originally assigned her to handle this task, but after Deputy Director Liu intervened, she stopped taking charge of it.
She now faces two choices: tell the truth and stand on Lin Xi's side, or protect Deputy Director Liu and Liu Ting.
Deputy Director Liu is her direct supervisor. If she tells the truth, her future career path may stagnate, and she may even be expelled from the school.
But Lin Xi has powerful backers, and the manuscript was indeed written by Lin Xi. If she were to lie, she would be haunted by guilt for the rest of her life.
Having decided to go all out, Teacher Wang stopped worrying and said to the college leaders, "Leaders, this manuscript was indeed sent to me by Lin Xi. Later, when Director Liu wanted to see it, I forwarded it to him."
The hospital leader looked at Deputy Director Liu, "Xiao Liu, what's going on?"
Deputy Director Liu glared at Teacher Wang, then smiled obsequiously, "Boss, Xiao Wang and this Lin Xi have an unusual relationship; you can't believe everything she says."
"I helped revise Liu Ting's speech. Of course, there were some references; I looked up some information online."
"Xiao Wang originally wanted this girl to be the freshman representative, but her qualifications were not good enough, so I replaced her. This girl may be holding a grudge, which is why she caused trouble at such an important occasion."
Deputy Director Liu's words pinned all the blame on Teacher Wang and Lin Xi.
“This is absolutely outrageous,” the hospital leader said, putting his hands behind his back. “Xiao Wang, write a statement explaining the situation. As for how to handle it, we’ll decide in a meeting.”
"As for these two students," the college leader looked at Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian, "they were given a warning for causing trouble. We will discuss whether to expel them at a later meeting."
The words of the college leaders made Teacher Wang sway slightly. Had she lost her bet?
"Leader..." She wanted to say something more to the leader, but was stopped by Deputy Director Liu.
"Xiao Wang, you're really something." Deputy Director Liu snorted and left with the hospital leaders.
The rest of the group left, but Teacher Wang remained.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry," Lin Xi said apologetically to Bai Tiantian. "I never expected things to turn out this way, and I've dragged you into this mess."
Bai Tiantian shrugged indifferently, "It's okay, Xixi, don't worry, things will definitely be resolved. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent."
Lin Xi nodded and walked towards Teacher Wang. "Teacher Wang, thank you for being able to testify for me."
Teacher Wang gave a wry smile. "Lin Xi, I'm sorry, but I'm just a teacher and there's nothing I can do to help you."
"It's alright, I will get justice." As if she had made up her mind, Lin Xi took out her phone and made a call.
She can suffer injustice herself, but she cannot implicate others.
As Song Xu's publicly acknowledged girlfriend, he wouldn't let her be bullied for the sake of his reputation.
Song Xu is her greatest resource right now; it would be a waste not to use him.
The other end answered Lin Xi's call immediately, "Xi Xi, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi bit her lip, and after calming down for two seconds, she said, "Brother Xu, I'm in trouble."
Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Song Xu raised an eyebrow and smiled. This girl knew to call him even when she was in trouble; she'd improved. "Is it about your speech being plagiarized?"
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then remembered that she had shown her draft to Song Xu. "Well, the dean just came over. Liu Ting's uncle is the deputy director of the law school, and he's trying to frame me..."
Lin Xi's nose tingled as she said this, "This matter has also implicated Teacher Wang and Bai Tiantian. The college leaders not only want to give Tiantian and me a warning, but also want to expel us."
Song Xu laughed after hearing this. What a joke. "Xi Xi, don't be sad. I'll handle this. Just wait for news."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know why, but hearing Song Xu's voice made her feel particularly wronged and want to cry.
"Xixi, are you calling your domineering CEO?" Bai Tiantian asked with a grin.
This time, Lin Xi didn't refute Bai Tiantian's words. She nodded and said, "He said he would help us solve it and told us to wait for news."
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang," Lin Xi comforted her. "We'll all be fine."
Teacher Wang's heart stirred again. Perhaps she hadn't made the wrong bet; Lin Xi's background was no less powerful than that of Deputy Director Liu.
Song Xu hung up the phone and slammed it on the table.
The vice principal next to him was startled. "President Song, what happened? Why are you so angry?"
Song Xu's eyes turned cold. "My girlfriend was bullied by some inhuman leaders at the school."
