After a long while, Qi Jiu left the room, blinked at An Ran who had been keeping her head down.
"What, you still haven't realized it? Or are you still feeling guilty towards Yu You?"
Taking advantage of other people's kindness is something she would do.
An Ran shook her head. The tall boy, over 1.8 meters, now seemed somewhat helpless. "I'm thinking, if I hadn't helped her at D University in the first place, would this have happened instead? If I hadn't..."
You will.
An Ran was interrupted by Qi Jiu before she could finish speaking.
Looking up, she saw smiles on the faces of several people around her. In the dim light, the girl's eyes shone brightly.
“You are kind, that’s why you would do that. Even if you went back in time, you would still do it. You’ve done what you could, so don’t blame yourself. Yu You’s condition isn’t serious right now, and she should be back at the base soon.”
After the matter was concluded, the group returned to the base.
The leaked exam questions have already been brought back to school by the first group of students who returned.
This matter has become a hot topic, with numerous related comments appearing online. A large group of reporters have also gathered at the entrance of the base, completely blocking the entrance.
If this were just an ordinary competition, it wouldn't matter. But this concerns the reputation of universities across the country, and in the future, it will be a matter of China's honor when students go abroad.
Therefore, this matter must be thoroughly investigated no matter what.
Qi Jiu looked at the reporters who were staking out the door, turned around, and walked towards the door.
"Hey? Qiqi, are you going over now?" Isn't the situation a bit bad?
With the internet becoming increasingly developed, they've seen quite a few similar stories online. They figured that when Qi Jiu arrived at the door, she would definitely be surrounded by reporters.
Reporters these days will ask anything to grab attention. With so many people watching, what if they say something offensive...?
"It's alright. It's not good to keep dragging this on. Besides, they wouldn't dare say anything bad about me."
Because of her status, the reporters at the door didn't dare to say anything.
While society today emphasizes fairness, is there truly any fairness from the capitalists' perspective?
Given her current status, these reporters would have to think twice before saying anything.
Qi Jiu's sudden appearance caught the reporters off guard; they had all assumed she would avoid the public after this incident.
The Chinese reporters who had been waiting at the entrance of the base suddenly swarmed around her. Holding microphones and carrying cameras, there were already countless microphones thrust at her the moment Qi Jiu appeared.
Looking at the excited expressions on their faces, the girl could already guess what was going to happen next.
"You only have fifteen minutes. The base owner will be back this afternoon, so hurry up."
"Ms. Qi, were you responsible for the leak of the exam questions online?"
The question was asked by a female reporter in front of me. Judging from her demeanor and makeup, she seemed to be a very experienced journalist. She must have a way of dealing with powerful figures.
"no."
"Then, Miss Qi Jiu, what would you like to say about what people are saying online?"
"The internet?" Qi Jiu suddenly laughed.
"Ten thousand people have ten thousand mouths, so naturally there will be all sorts of things to say. The innocent will clear themselves, and I will not admit to things I did not do. As I just said, the owner of the base will be back this afternoon, and then the results will be out."
Her voice was calm, and she never avoided the reporters' questions, always answering them skillfully.
In between, other reporters asked some questions, and time passed.
"Everyone, fifteen minutes are up."
The girl adjusted her watch and turned to leave.
But these reporters had finally managed to get one of the parties involved to come out, so why would they give up such a good opportunity?
The crowd instinctively wanted to surround her and block her way, but when they met her eyes, they couldn't help but tremble and took a step back in unison.
“I promised to give you fifteen minutes, and I hope you will keep your word. Otherwise, if I get angry, I might smash your machines, and it’s not like I can’t afford to pay for them.”
Her cool voice carried a slight but sharp edge, and wherever her gaze swept across, the reporters instinctively lowered their heads.
In the end, all I could do was watch her slowly leave.
An Ran and the others, who were seen not far away, were speechless.
"Idol, the owner of this base is coming this afternoon. Do you think Yu You will try to drag you down with him again?"
Yu Qi tilted her head curiously. Things had developed to this point, and it felt both complicated and melodramatic.
The little girl reached out and touched Yu Qi's braid. "Since she chose to drag me into this from the very beginning, and now that we've reached the final lesson, will she suddenly change her mind? She has no way out."
All we can do now is continue to drag her down with us; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope for her.
The leak of exam questions is no small matter. To ensure fairness and prevent any cover-up, the training base chose to have all the students act as witnesses.
As more and more people filled the classroom, Qi Jiu sat in the first row, glanced down at the watch on her wrist, and smiled.
Has Yu You really deserted his post? Now nobody dares to come?
While idly scrolling through my phone, I noticed that the interview I had just conducted at the base entrance had already been compiled and posted online by the news and Weibo accounts.
Perhaps because the competition is largely for the country, this issue is now generating just as much buzz as the entertainment industry.
I laughed. Anyone can say nice things. What if it's her?
"Exactly. I've also looked at that girl's information. She's just an ordinary student. Even if she didn't do it, wouldn't she still bow down to capital? This society is a paradise for capital."
"No, are you guys alright? Qi Jiu's grades are even better than last year's top scorer in the college entrance exam, she's number one in pharmacy, and she would cheat?"
"Although I'm not a fan of Qi Jiu, I feel that Qi Jiu has become a frequent visitor to the trending topics in the past six months. If she does this, it's tantamount to ruining her future. Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that, right?"
"..."
"The internet is really something else. There are as many opinions as there are people online." Leng Ruo sat down next to her, pulled her chair back, and crossed her legs arrogantly.
The way he was fiddling with his phone was just like flipping through the Book of Life and Death in his hands.
Qi Jiu: "..."
She is guilty of turning a perfectly good young lady from the Leng family into a bandit.
