The counselor's eyes widened. He originally thought that this kind of jealousy was just caused by students due to grades or something like that, but he didn't expect that the cause was actually a man!
"Zhou Xue, is what Jiang Manyue said true? Are you really spreading rumors about your classmates for this reason? Do you know how hurtful such rumors can be to a girl?"
Zhou Xue cried and shook her head. Cheng Nana sneered beside her, "How could she not know? She probably just wants Jiang Manyue to be ruined and abandoned by her lover, right?"
In an instant, the eyes of all the students changed again. They looked at Zhou Xue as if she were a poisonous snake, feeling scared.
Such people are really scary. They are like a snake lurking in the dark, which will suddenly come out and bite you, making you unable to defend yourself.
As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. People like Zhou Xue who spread rumors behind people's backs are really scary.
Not everyone is like Jiang Manyue, who is so tough and strong. She remains calm after being slandered and is determined to find the rumormonger at all costs. If they encountered such a thing, they would have collapsed long ago.
"I don't want to be classmates with someone like this anymore. Who knows if she'll think I've upset her in some way and say bad things about me behind my back? I don't have Jiang Manyue's courage to fight her to the end."
"Me too. She scares me so much. I see her every now and then. What if I offend her in some way? Will she talk about me behind my back?"
"Jiang Manyue won't let her go, right? Will she still be able to attend classes with us in the future? Didn't they say they would send her to jail? People in jail can't go to college anymore, right?"
The students were talking about it, and some even raised their hands to the counselor, "Teacher Zhang, this black sheep can't stay in our English department anymore. We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!"
The counselor was also in a difficult situation. He looked at Zhou Xue and then at Jiang Manyue, and finally decided to report the matter truthfully to the leader to see how the leader would handle it.
"Alright, everyone, please be patient for now. I will report this matter to the department leadership. All decisions regarding the handling of this matter will have to wait for discussion and decision by the department. Before that, please try not to mention this matter to students from other majors to avoid spreading unnecessary rumors."
After saying that, the counselor left in a hurry. This matter involved a lot of people, and the department would probably have to hold a meeting to decide how to deal with Zhou Xue's mistake.
Jiang Manyue glanced at Zhou Xue who was still crying, said nothing, and went straight back to her seat.
She won't say anything more before the school makes a decision. If the school's handling results satisfy her, she will stop making trouble. But if the school wants to make a big deal out of a small matter, then she will definitely make a fuss again.
The word "suffering a loss" has never existed in Jiang Manyue's dictionary. Even if she doesn't want to go to college, she must make Zhou Xue pay the price.
Cheng Nana touched Jiang Manyue's arm. "Manyue, what do you think the school will do to Zhou Xue? Expel her?"
Jiang Manyue thought about it and felt that expulsion would not be a serious consequence. The worst that could happen was a serious warning that would remain in the student's file permanently and could not be erased. Then he would be given a disciplinary sentence of probation. If he made the same mistake again, he might really be expelled.
In addition, she also made it clear to the counselor that she had asked the rumormonger to make a public apology from the beginning, and it depended on whether the school would agree.
Cheng Nana snorted coldly, "She's really lucky! People like her should be expelled and have no right to stay on campus!"
Jiang Manyue smiled and patted her. "Expulsion is the most serious punishment. Universities generally won't expel students unless they've committed a crime like murder or arson. As for Zhou Xue's case, not only did she spread rumors about me, she also implicated the school leaders. I guess it was just a demerit to begin with. If she behaves well, it might be erased, but now it's probably irreversible."
Cheng Nana was quite satisfied with Jiang Manyue's guess. She thought that the stain on Zhou Xue's file should follow her for the rest of her life. She would never be able to find a good job in the future!
She should pay the price for her wrongdoings, otherwise the cost of doing bad things is too low and everyone can do it.
At this time, Zhou Xue was still crying in her seat. No one came to comfort her. Even the people sitting next to her had packed up their textbooks and moved to other places.
Everyone chose to avoid Zhou Xue, fearing that saying one more word to her would cause her disgust and they would become the target of rumors.
Zhou Xue was isolated in an instant, and only felt a little better after class when she returned to the dormitory.
Because Zhou Xue's roommates are not English majors, she is not yet aware of what happened in the English classroom. If she knew, she would probably not even be able to stay in the dormitory.
The next morning, the leaders of the Foreign Languages Department held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the students who spread the rumors.
Most leaders believe that spreading rumors behind other students' backs, damaging their reputations, and involving the leaders of the Foreign Languages Department is extremely bad in nature and should be punished with a serious warning and placed on probation. If the student fails to mend his ways and makes mistakes again, he will be expelled.
Finally, the director of the Foreign Languages Department made the final decision and decided to follow the advice of the majority of leaders and give Zhou Xue a serious warning and place him on probation.
As for Jiang Manyue's request that she make a public apology in person, the department also agreed.
In the afternoon, the counselor came over and announced the result. Zhou Xue's face turned pale and she collapsed in her seat.
She had been holding on to a lucky mentality since yesterday, thinking that this incident did not cause any substantial harm to Jiang Manyue, and it might only be a demerit. If she behaved well in the future, she would be able to erase the record of this punishment.
But the school gave her a serious warning. This kind of disciplinary record is impossible to erase and will follow her for the rest of her life. All employers will see that Zhou Xue was given a serious warning for serious violations of discipline while at school, and they will also know why she was given the warning!
Zhou Xue felt like her whole world was spinning, her mind was blank, and she had only one thought: she was finished!
"Also, the department has agreed to Jiang Manyue's request. Zhou Xue needs to publicly apologize to Jiang Manyue to eliminate the trouble and harm caused to her by the rumors."
Zhou Xue could no longer hear what the counselor was saying. All she could think about was her file and her life, which was all ruined!
"Zhou Xue, did you hear me? After the last class today, you need to go to the school radio station and publicly apologize to Jiang Manyue!"
