Chen Ke was unaware of the uproar that Zhang Changsheng had caused in his hometown village after calling his father about the incident; he could only marvel at how quickly the school had acted.
In such a short time, even banners and signs were put up.
Congratulations to our student Chen Ke for attending the World Expo and delivering a speech as a new generation of young entrepreneurs!
Even Chen Ke, who was usually calm and composed, was caught off guard by the school's move. He tried to go to the teaching affairs office in a less crowded area.
In the Academic Affairs Office, the Dean of Academic Affairs had a wide smile on his face, looking at Chen Ke, who was sitting there drinking water, with great satisfaction. These were all outstanding students nurtured by their school, true pillars of the nation!
Chen Ke put down his water glass and asked with a puzzled look, "Director, I came today because of something I saw online..."
"Hey, Chen Ke, don't worry about what's going on online. Rest assured, our school will definitely clarify things for you and catch the people spreading rumors behind the scenes. Your excellence is obvious to all, and we will never allow anyone to slander or defame you!" Isn't that just smearing their school?
"...Thank you very much, Director." After saying that, Chen Ke couldn't withstand the burning gaze of the Dean of Students. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
The dean of students quickly stopped Chen Ke, smiling in a very friendly manner, "Hey Chen Ke, could we... take a picture together?" What a joke! If he didn't take this opportunity to take a picture now, when would he have another chance after graduation? He'd probably only see it in magazines and on TV.
Chen Ke: ""
Chen Ke found it hard to refuse the director of teaching's enthusiasm. Originally, it was just a photo of the two of them, but somehow a bunch of people came to the office. They were all leaders of the school, big and small, and they all wanted to take a photo with him.
Finally, the principal appeared at the door with a dark face, demanding, "What have you been doing during work hours?!"
Chen Ke watched as if he were watching a science fiction movie; those leaders had all vanished in the blink of an eye... vanished?
Are all school leaders this lively?
Chen Ke tried hard to keep his expression straight. Just as he was about to say goodbye to the principal and the dean of students, the principal called out to him, "Wait, Chen Ke, let's... take a picture together."
Chen Ke: "...Okay, okay."
In the end, Chen Ke watched helplessly as their principal from Jingbei took ten photos, selected six, meticulously edited three, and then posted them on his WeChat Moments...
When Chen Ke left the dean's office, his eyes were glazed over.
However, he quickly walked to the examination hall. He had already applied to the school to make up all the exams this afternoon. His sister Chen Guo's matter was urgent, and he was afraid that even a day's delay would cause some irreversible consequences.
Some teachers were worried that he might struggle to finish all the exams in one afternoon, but with all the papers showing perfect scores, they had to admit that some people are truly excellent.
Chen Ke left the examination room after the exam results were released, but coincidentally, he ran into Yue Xingyu being escorted into a police car by the police.
A number of classmates had gathered around, but Chen Ke's eyes met Yue Xingyu's.
When Yue Xingyu saw Chen Ke, he was a little excited. His face was full of indignation as if he had been wronged, but the deep fear hidden in his eyes betrayed him.
He knew that what he was doing was illegal.
Chen Ke didn't expect Fu Xin to act so quickly. The school had just said it would conduct a thorough investigation, and Fu Xin had already called the police to arrest him.
However, Yue Xingyu should not be the main culprit. At most, he is an accomplice for inciting public opinion. The main culprit should be Lu Xiao, because only he has the power to hire online trolls to spread rumors.
Sure enough, Sang Ying walked over from somewhere and her first words were: "Lu Xiao was also asked to leave, but I didn't expect the class monitor to be involved as well."
"I didn't expect that either."
Sang Ying glanced at Chen Ke with surprise, then teased, "Chairman Chen, you've changed so much in just a few days! How about I work for your company after graduation?"
"I'd rather not work, but I'd be more than happy to help you out."
Sang Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. At that moment, Chen Ke had a faint smile on his lips and his eyes were lowered. Sang Ying seemed to suddenly understand why netizens said Chen Ke was handsome.
Sang Ying felt her face getting hot.
However, Chen Ke's next words caused her cheeks to flush instantly: "Fu Xin will definitely be even happier. He likes to work with people who are both beautiful and capable. Oh, you know Fu Xin, right? He's the one who often comes back to school to give speeches—"
"Huh?" Before Chen Ke could finish speaking, Sang Ying turned and left.
Chen Ke paused for a moment, then sighed. "See? Even with friends you get along with, if they're girls, sometimes you just can't understand them at all."
After finishing his business at school, Chen Ke didn't return to his company dormitory until very late.
Thinking about returning to An County the next day, Chen Ke called Zhang Changsheng and asked if he wanted to go back together.
Zhang Changsheng certainly wanted to go back with them, but his most important task right now was to get his driver's license. He was eager to get it so he could start working as soon as possible, so he declined.
Zhang Changsheng had many questions for Chen Ke, but considering that Chen Ke had only just returned home and must have been busy all day, he didn't want to delay Chen Ke's rest. So, Zhang Changsheng suppressed his strong excitement, told Chen Ke to get some rest, and then hung up the phone.
The next morning, Chen Ke went to the airport. Fu Xin insisted on seeing him off. In addition to the things Chen Ke bought, Fu Xin also brought a lot of bags and packages. The luggage that could have been carried directly now had to be checked in.
"Please give my regards to my uncle, aunt, and sister," Fu Xin waved and called out to Chen Ke, who was checking tickets, looking just like a young wife seeing her husband off at the door, full of concern and worry.
Chen Ke nodded helplessly, "I understand, go back now."
He felt that, aside from official business, Fu Xin really liked to treat him like a child.
······
An County, Police Station.
Today is the last day for out-of-court mediation in the Chen Jiang assault case, after further evidence collection. If that fails, the two parties will have no choice but to meet in court.
Li Mangzi arrived at the scene in a wheelchair with his head wrapped in gauze, followed by people from his village who came to bolster his presence. After returning home, someone told Li Mangzi's mother that going to court would not actually benefit them; it would be better to rely on their numbers to pressure them into paying compensation directly.
So today, Li Mangzi's mother invited several people from the same village to come together. Looking at the police with an impatient expression, Li Mangzi's mother said, "Why aren't they here yet? Officer, look at them! Are there any people like this? They clearly beat someone up, but their attitude is so arrogant. Chen Jiang, that bastard, should be put in jail!"
"Mom, Mom, I have a headache!"
"Oh, my son, you're injured and can only wait here. It breaks my heart. My poor son."
The police were in pain when they saw the two fighting. Despite being an orphan and a widow, these two were more troublesome than anyone else.
"Alright, alright, Chen Dawu and the others will be here soon." The policeman had barely finished speaking.
A larger and more imposing group of people walked in from outside.
