The restaurant manager's humble question gave Ruan Chen a lot of face and also made it clear what Ruan Chen's true identity was.
The group of men and women who had inexplicably come looking for trouble were all a little embarrassed and started whispering among themselves.
People with strong mental abilities like Ruan Chen usually have excellent hearing, and they easily picked up on the keywords in their conversation.
For example, the Ruan family, the Ruan Group, Ruan Yunhan's sister, the movie star, and her illegitimate daughter.
Ruan Chen recalled that when she first entered the class, she was indeed posted on the school forum because of her weakness. At that time, some people said that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ruan Group and could not be brought into the open, but the post was quickly deleted.
Later, to prevent further rumors about Ruan Chen from spreading, those in higher positions directly added Ruan Chen's name to the list of key monitored terms across the entire internet.
All information containing these two words will be filtered by relevant departments to ensure that it will not have any impact on Ruan Cheng himself.
After recalling the rumors that had circulated at the start of the semester, the group exchanged a slightly complicated look, tacitly choosing to ignore what had just happened, and left on their own.
The main reason is that Ruan Chen's behavior at school always falls somewhere between being too low-key and too flamboyant, which secretly makes her quite a few enemies.
Although she is usually so low-key in class that she has no presence at all, like a transparent person, which ordinary student would dare to skip class without making a move?
In addition, since she was personally brought here by Director Nan Jing, the students automatically categorized Ruan Chen as a "connected student." In their view, connected students and hard-earned students like themselves were naturally opposed.
Although the "confession of the century" incident gained Ruan Chen a lot of fans at the First Affiliated Hospital, many people also said that she directed and acted it herself, and some even tried to release photos of Ruan Chen and Fu Chengyu holding hands on a certain forum.
It's only because of the strict censorship of public opinion regarding Ruan Chen that this rumor hasn't had a widespread negative impact on her.
This little incident didn't affect Ruan Chen's mood for dinner; it was just that Feng Nian seemed a bit down, which annoyed her.
Ruan Chen actually saw a bit of herself in Feng Nian, things that came from poverty, such as resilience, silence, and sensitivity.
However, Ruan Chen is already powerful enough, while Feng Nian is clearly not yet.
So she had always subconsciously been somewhat concerned about Feng Nian.
Seeing Feng Nian awkwardly holding the knife and fork, looking like she was having trouble swallowing because of her low spirits, Ruan Chen's originally calm heart inexplicably became a little irritable. She glanced in the direction where the two men and two women had just sat down.
Huan Shiqing and Leng Yueqiu thoughtfully taught Feng Nian how to hold a fork more easily. Ruan Chen picked at her dessert and couldn't help but open Fu Jianzhi's chat box again.
She didn't intend to reply, nor did she intend to continue interfering in the Fu family's affairs, but since she had personally orchestrated the whole thing, she had to keep track of the progress.
I bought that land for over five billion yuan, but after problems were discovered, it has remained undeveloped and abandoned ever since.
Fortunately, I funded and contacted the testing agency myself, and the board of directors was unaware of it.
[Now Fu Chengyu is so afraid I'll find out he's the one buying the land that he's even hired an agency to negotiate with me, raising funds from the shareholders who received their dividends a few days ago, making empty promises to them. It's laughable.]
Ruan Chen hadn't replied, and Fu Jianzhi didn't seem to find it boring, continuing to talk to himself.
[We're asking for 7 billion for that land right now, but we're planning to sell it to Fu Chengyu when he negotiates it down to around 5.5 billion. That way, he won't have to cry to the elders about how his younger brother bullied him.]
[However, I plan to have Fu Chengyu come up with 5.5 billion yuan all at once. Do you think I should hire a few shills and hold a proper bidding process?]
Of course, Fu Jianzhi didn't expect Ruan Chen to reply when he typed this question.
Ruan Chen isn't blocking him now because he's treating Fu Jianzhi purely as a business partner. Fu Jianzhi believes that if he dares to push his luck, Ruan Chen is capable of severing all ties completely.
Fu Jianzhi was optimistic; if things didn't work out, he could always start over.
-------------------------------------
Ruan Chen had no classes the next morning and nothing urgent to do, so she unusually wanted to stay in bed. Nan Jing called her and woke her up.
The last time Nan Jing acted this way, she presented Ruan Chen's attendance records to her.
This time, a stack of A4 printed documents was dropped.
Ruan Chen was completely bewildered, thinking that she had been behaving herself during the winter break, and had even declined Su Jin's invitation to attend her youngest daughter's one-month celebration, instead sending a generous gift instead.
Even if something happens to her, it's a matter between the Ruan Group and Fu Chengyu, and it shouldn't escalate to Nan Jing's level.
She picked up the stack of papers out of confusion, flipped through them, and suddenly realized what was going on.
All of them were anonymous whistleblower reports.
“There are a total of 132 anonymous reports, all from different email addresses. We received them all overnight after the start of the semester yesterday,” Nan Jing paced back and forth in his office, looking exasperated. “The content is basically the same, all reporting that you are late, leave early, are absent without leave, cheat on exams, or bring unauthorized people into the campus.”
“If it were just one or two individual reports, that would be one thing, but with a total of 132 reports, the court can’t possibly ignore them.”
Ruan Chen put down the stack of papers and asked, "What should we do?"
“Write an explanation,” Nan Jing, one of the few who didn’t tolerate Ruan Chen, said irritably. “For being late, leaving early, or being absent without reason, just write that you had an academic conference out of town, that all the leave procedures were in order, and that you’re sorry for causing the misunderstanding. As for the rest… write whatever you think is best; you’re quite good at making things up. Once you’re done, I’ll post it on the official website, and that’ll be the end of it.”
Ruan Chen scoffed, "Nan Suo, why should I prove myself? Isn't the root of the problem these people fabricated stories out of thin air, making wild guesses without understanding the whole picture, wasting school resources, and causing me trouble?"
