Upon hearing Ning Yuan and Chu Hongyu's words, the surrounding students immediately began to murmur among themselves, all casting strange glances at Lu Jingui.
Lu Jingui clenched her fists, the muscles at the corners of her mouth trembling slightly. She was usually the one who could put people in an awkward situation with just a few words, but today it was her turn.
How dare they slander a literary writer like her!
She would never forgive them, nor that vulgar man Ning Bingyu, for the insults they had inflicted upon her!
Lu Jingui's eyes and brows, however, carried undisguised contempt and mockery—
"Then you should ask Miss Chu Hongyu why she receives preferential treatment from a capitalist! Staying in Mr. Ning's room late at night before leaving, were you having a meeting in the middle of the night?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "capitalist".
She overheard the gossip in the restroom while she was at the hotel, and she was immediately enraged.
Chu Hongyu dared to lay a finger on the man she had her eye on!
"Exactly! Isn't it because of that vixen face that you bewitch men? You promiscuous slut, how dare you bully our noble Chairman! You're not worthy!"
Miao Sanlu screamed angrily as he watched his idol being bullied.
The people around immediately erupted in commotion, casting strange glances at Chu Hongyu.
Chu Hongyu stared at her coldly: "Have you seen the 'Seeking Truth' discussion activity initiated by the law department? Public slander without evidence, come with us to the police station!"
As soon as those words were spoken, not only were Miao Sanlu and Lu Jingui stunned, but the surrounding discussions also quieted down.
"Sanlu, that's enough! I was just asking one more question because I was worried about Chu Hongyu's safety. What are you talking about?" Lu Jingui suddenly scolded Miao Sanlu.
Then, she turned to look at Chu Hongyu and said coldly—
"We're all classmates, and she's even your senior. She's just a straightforward person, so don't take it to heart. We're leaving now! Don't go to the police station so easily. What's so honorable about classmates arguing?"
After saying that, she strode forward expressionlessly.
Zhang Hongmei and Miao Sanlu exchanged glances, glared at Ning Yuan and Chu Hongyu, and immediately followed.
Ning Yuan and Chu Hongyu looked at their disheveled and angry backs, exchanged a glance, and chuckled softly.
Lu Jingui returned to the department's student union office, slammed the documents in his hand on the table, and angrily cursed—
"This is outrageous! That morally corrupt, unfaithful slut Chu Hongyu dares to be so arrogant, and Ning Yuan, that despicable woman, dares to humiliate me in front of so many people!"
Miao Sanlu and Zhang Hongmei stood aside, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering Lu Jingui.
"Chairman, calm down, don't take it to heart," Zhang Hongmei advised cautiously.
She paused, then added, "Besides, the public opinion at school has changed. Everyone is speculating about who is targeting Chu Hongyu. I'm a little worried that it might lead to us. We should be careful."
The school said they would punish them severely!
Lu Jingui's face was contorted with anger, and a cold glint flashed in his slightly swollen eyes. "Those people in the school are all opportunists. They'll just bend whichever way the wind blows!"
She paused, then sneered, "Investigate? So what? Ding Lan and Chu Hongyu, her former roommate, have a grudge. What does that have to do with us?"
"If Ding Lan implicates us, it's just slander against our department's student union! Whether she gets punished or expelled, she'll be the only one!"
As Zhang Hongmei listened, she recalled Ding Lan's warning and felt a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Miao Sanlu quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Jingui, gently comforting him—
"Chairman Lu, you are a person with a broad vision. You are the student union president of the Economics Department of Fudan University. What is Chu Hongyu? She is just a pretty face with no substance. You and she are not even on the same level."
Lu Jingui took the water glass, but didn't drink it. He just held it tightly in his hand, staring at the window with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"I can't swallow this! Why? Why should a dirty woman like Chu Hongyu, who is less talented than me and morally depraved, be able to win Ning Bingyu's favor just because of her looks..."
While massaging Lu Jingui's shoulders, Miao Sanlu spoke softly and comfortingly, his tone carrying a hint of flattery and ingratiation.
"Chairman Lu, please don't be angry. It's not worth arguing with them."
Lu Jingui's expression softened slightly. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "You're right. I shouldn't get angry over someone like that. It's not worth it."
"Hmph, Chu Hongyu, we'll see!" A sinister glint flashed in Lu Jingui's eyes. "I'd like to see how long you can be so smug!"
She suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zhang Hongmei: "By the way, aren't you interning at your parents' workplace? Doesn't Chu Hongyu's father work there too?"
Zhang Hongmei paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
“I remember, Chu Hongyu’s father is the bank manager, right?” A sinister glint flashed in Lu Jingui’s eyes.
“That’s right…” Zhang Hongmei said somewhat uncertainly.
"Bank manager? Hehe, that makes things easier." Lu Jingui smiled slightly, then leaned close to Zhang Hongmei's ear and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongmei's face turned pale.
She glanced at Lu Jingui with some fear and stammered, "This...this isn't appropriate...I'm supposed to write a complaint letter saying that Chu Hongyu's father is harassing female interns by taking advantage of his work position..."
Lu Jingui asked calmly, "What's wrong with that... You're doing this for the people. Chu Hongyu's father could raise such an unfaithful, fickle daughter who ruins the reputation of our economics department, which means he must also have a complicated private life. It's just that no one has reported him! We're doing this for the people!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongmei's face turned pale. Her lips moved as if she wanted to refuse, but she dared not say it.
Lu Jingui looked at Zhang Hongmei's hesitant expression and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
But her expression turned disappointed and helpless: "If Chu Hongyu didn't have a bank president as her father, how would she dare to act so arrogantly and bully me here? You all swore to protect me forever, have you forgotten?"
Zhang Hongmei's face was deathly pale, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightly. She said timidly in a low voice, "But Chairman Lu, but I'm afraid..."
Lu Jingui slammed his hand on the table, sneered, and interrupted Zhang Hongmei—
"What's there to be afraid of? We didn't name names, we were just telling the truth. Besides, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If Chu Hongyu's father is truly upright, who can do anything to him?"
Zhang Hongmei bit her lip, struggling internally.
Torn between the pangs of conscience and the coercion and enticement of her idol, she was caught in the middle, facing a dilemma.
“I’ll go! Chairman Lu, I’ll write it! I was also transferred to Chu Hongyu’s father’s workplace for an internship three days ago!” Miao Sanlu suddenly stood up.
Her face flushed red, and she said indignantly, "That kind of person, Chu Hongyu, relies on her looks to seduce people everywhere. She colludes with Ning Yuan and even insulted you, Chairman. I will definitely rid the people of this scourge!"
In Miao Sanlu's eyes, Chu Hongyu was just a pretty face with no substance. What right did she have to steal the job her idol wanted? Not only did she refuse to drop out of school, but she also publicly insulted her idol.
Miao Sanlu: "This kind of morally corrupt person should let her father experience what it's like to be reported! After all, it's the father's fault for not raising his child properly!"
Now that Lu Jingui has given her a chance to legitimately "punish" Chu Hongyu, she naturally wants to stand up for her idol.
Lu Jingui smiled with satisfaction, patted Miao Sanlu on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You are the most sensible one. I'll leave this matter to you. The position of Minister of Organization of the Department Student Union will be reserved for someone with a sense of justice like you in the election next March."
“Unlike some people, who make excuses for even the smallest things.” She glanced at Zhang Hongmei meaningfully, her eyes full of disdain.
Miao Sanlu was stunned, then became excited: "Thank you so much, Chairman Lu! You are truly the best idol in the world!"
This is such a pleasant surprise! She's chosen the right person to follow!
