Seeing the anxiety on her face, An Ran suddenly smiled.
"Do you think Yu You and her friend will have any reputation left after this? This was a live broadcast, and it's blown up so much that people all over the country probably saw it. The universities that are here are all top-tier universities across the country. Even if the school teachers wanted to help, they couldn't."
On the surface, this may seem like a simple resolution, but in reality, it's better to be fired and let go.
Chang Xiaoyuan nodded. "This punishment seems lenient, but how will Yu You and Xiao Chuan face their classmates and teachers when they return to school? After such a big incident, will the school still allow them to stay?"
I imagine I'll be treated differently when I go back to school too? I'll be met with cold stares everywhere.
Moreover, they believed that with Qi Silin's methods, he would definitely not let them off so easily.
Qi Jiu, who hadn't said a word, smiled when she saw the message Qi Silin had sent her on her phone.
“An Ran and the others are right. Don’t worry, their punishment will go beyond this. At the very least, they’ve been charged with spreading rumors and defamation.”
When these two people return to school, they will not only face disdain from their classmates and teachers, but also be punished, as spreading rumors and slander is illegal.
In everyday life, people might not take rumors seriously, but if it were necessary to convict someone, it would be possible.
With these charges and criminal records, their lives are practically ruined, not just now. After all, what company would want an employee with a tainted record?
Unless someone wants to cause trouble, they probably won't accept it, right?
Having understood these principles, Yu Qi was stunned. She looked at Qi Jiu, then at Qi Silin on the stage, and subconsciously swallowed.
These two people, their thoughts...
If the event is broadcast live now, and Yu You and the other person are simply sent back to school, others might even think that the organizers and Qi Silin are tolerant and generous.
Damn, these people have been so heartless these past few days. It seems I can't afford to offend either of them anymore. Even if it means suffering a loss myself, I can't afford to offend these two.
After all the reporters left, the matter was pretty much explained online.
Qi Silin looked at the few people remaining in the classroom, and the seriousness on his face softened slightly. "Qiqi."
The man's voice was no longer as cold as before; now it was deep and slightly gentle.
But Qi Jiu wasn't buying it, her smile a fake one. "This base, is it yours?"
I've been here for so long, and I only just found out. We chatted so much on the phone before, and he didn't even intend to say a single word.
Qi Silin paused in his forward stride, swallowing hard as he looked at the half-smile on the girl's lips.
"Yes, yes, I was too busy with work before and forgot to tell you."
"Forgot?" Qi Jiu smiled, tilting her head to glance at Liu Yun behind him. "Liu Yun, you forgot too?"
Liu Yun: "..."
Does anyone in the family understand why he also suffers when his master and mistress quarrel?
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Miss Qi. I didn't mean it. If I had remembered, I would have informed the master much earlier, hehe."
Qi Silin showed no sign of guilt; instead, he smiled broadly, making the girl's fists itch with desire.
This guy is really...
In the lounge, Qi Jiu looked at the man beside her and suddenly smiled.
"So even though I texted you today, you've still decided to keep it from me?"
"Isn't this a surprise for you?"
The girl smiled. "What a surprise! If I had known beforehand, I would have really thought that the leak of the exam questions was related to me."
Qi Silin smiled, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up at An Ran opposite him.
"Is Yu You the one who likes you?" He had heard that this guy had saved the damsel in distress, which had led to Yu You now having some faith in him.
The "hero saves the damsel in distress" tactic works in most situations, no wonder people like it.
An Ran smiled awkwardly, "I was just passing by, it was nothing."
This matter came to an end, and the final result was just as Qi Jiu and the others had expected: Xiao Chuan returned to school, his classmates looked down on him, and his teachers didn't think highly of him either.
However, as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, his final result is definitely much better than Yu You's.
Even if Xiao Chuan wanted to leave the school, he would leave on his own. On the other hand, Yu You was not so lucky. After returning to school, she was expelled and left in a very undignified manner.
But there's no turning back now.
After this incident, the number of students participating in the competition was reduced by half, and domestic competitions began.
That day, Qi Jiu looked at the numbers on the slip of paper in her hand, pursed her lips, and showed little expression on her face.
"Idol, which group are you in?" With so many people around, Yu Qi had somehow ended up next to the girl, her face full of anticipation.
"Which group are you in?"
Yu Qi bit her lip and carefully unfolded the note in her hand.
Looking at the bright '4' above, Qi Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Looks like we're destined to meet."
As she spoke, the girl unfolded the note in her hand, which also had the same '4' on it.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qi stepped forward and gave her a bear hug, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She swayed her back and forth, her row of bright white teeth flashing in delight.
"That's great, I can be in your group. Otherwise, I really can't imagine how much pressure I would feel facing you if I were in another group."
"Ha, I dare to think that."
Suddenly, a soft laugh came from behind. Chang Xiaoyuan's laugh was somewhat bitter.
Finally, he slowly unfolded the piece of paper in his hand and looked at the big '2' on it.
It can only be said that they were unlucky; unlike Yu Qi, they didn't happen to be in the same group as Qi Jiu. You can imagine the pressure they will face next.
Looking at the number on the slip of paper, Yu Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this great? This number suits you perfectly!"
Chang Xiaoyuan: "..."
Can he take back that statement? What's wrong with him? That's utter nonsense!
An Ran smiled and said, "It seems that we will be rivals from now on."
As he spoke, he unfolded the slip of paper in his hand, which contained a number none of the others had: 1.
"You brat, you've always been a step ahead of me in academics since we were kids. Now's the perfect opportunity for revenge!" Chang Xiaoyuan laughed arrogantly, causing the people around him to subconsciously take a couple of steps to the side.
This guy talks a good game, and An Ran isn't someone you can easily offend, so it's best for them to pretend they didn't see anything.
"Hey? Ruoruo, what about you?"
Yu Qi looked at the girl who had been keeping her head down and not saying a word, and moved closer, shaking her head.
