"lead----"
"Alright, alright, everyone, please calm down—"
There was a brief commotion in the meeting room. Principal Liu and the others were eager to rush forward to shake hands and greet him, but were stopped.
Order was quickly restored.
As one of them publicly stated that he had been listening to the meeting from the next room, Liu Xiao and the others' expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, how could they not realize that Qin Zhongkai had set a trap for them?
"Leadership, please hear our defense—"
Principal Liu was unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for a voice. "I had a heated argument with Director Qin just now. Many of the things I said were just words spoken in the heat of the moment. In fact, we have been actively reflecting on the issue of rectifying school spirit and discipline all along."
"Let's not talk about that, Principal Liu. Can you explain what factual evidence you have regarding the creation of a celebrity in Shanghai?"
He was directly confronted and asked for evidence of the rumors circulating in Shanghai about the creation of a superstar.
That's really true, it's like stabbing Shen's vital point.
Principal Liu's expression changed drastically; what evidence could he possibly have?
If there were relevant evidence, would the situation still be in this state of flux, with repeated delays leading to this point?
It would be necessary to have inside information about our competitors in Shanghai.
Hehe, to put it bluntly, they will only use even more drastic and violent methods to completely crush their competitors and prevent them from ever recovering.
The prestigious reputation of a top-tier university must not be compromised.
This is the bottom line, a bottom line that no one can cross at will.
"Boss, we—well, you know—"
"What's with all this 'this' and 'that'? We're asking you to explain the facts and evidence behind your hostility towards Comrade Yu Zhen. You're convinced that Shanghai is openly fabricating evidence in its official capacity, even going so far as to set up a trap to ruin Comrade Yu Zhen. Shouldn't you have at least a little bit of evidence? Even if it's just hearsay, it would be helpful!"
Mocking, teasing, and rigging —
If Liu Xiao and the others still couldn't sense the anger in such a direct questioning manner, then...
They should jump into the river and commit suicide too.
The key problem is that they really have absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
Liu Xiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and adopted a posture of fearlessness, ready to go all out. "Leader, to be honest, we don't have any real evidence. We only came to this conclusion based on a series of logical deductions and considerations of public opinion, based on some facts that are out in the open."
We indeed have no evidence to prove our inference.
But here's the crux of the problem: a person's creative ability is ultimately limited, and so is their energy.
"Don't you think the series of major events that have happened to Comrade Yu Zhen so far seem a bit too many and too predictable?"
"so what?!"
"So, just because of your suspicions and reasonable inferences, you're going to resort to such despicable tactics to target your own comrades again and again?!"
"He is not our comrade—"
"Oh, whether Yu Zhen is our comrade or not, Principal Liu, you can decide so easily and give such a clear statement?"
"Ah, no, no, no, what I mean is, Yu Zhen is, after all, just an ordinary citizen. He has never joined the Party, nor has he ever undergone any related review or testing, so naturally he cannot be regarded as a comrade in the true sense. Moreover, someone like him is being highly praised by the Western world, and is even being elevated to a more extraordinary position in the literary pantheon."
If the truth is not thoroughly investigated, a single misstep could lead to a catastrophic disaster.
Yu Zhen couldn't hold back any longer. Even at a time like this, he was still rambling on and on, and was still being given a chance to explain.
Sigh, the culture of networking and cliques is unacceptable.
"Professor Liu, if you can determine a person's entire past and even deny their creative achievements that are already recognized worldwide simply through a series of reasonable deductions, don't you think that's too idealistic?!"
Yu Zhen spoke up at this point, not wanting the two sides to continue arguing.
"Who are you?! Do you even have the right to speak here?!"
"Uh, ah??" Yu Zhen pointed to his nose, genuinely stunned by the spray.
Right, given my current status, it seems I really shouldn't speak casually in such a high-level group.
"I recognize you. You're Qin Feng, a student from Class A of the Computer Science major in '79? Yes, you're the one Director Qin mentioned, the informant, right? Qin, the school has treated you well. Why don't you report things to the school first, but instead try to find ways to be an informant outside?"
"Oh! So you're that snitch student who takes Tsinghua and Peking University honors without a second thought, 79."
"Qin Feng, a student in Class A of the Computer Science major, right? Very well, I'll remember you—"
Director Qin couldn't hold back any longer. "Principal Liu, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged men looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed.
Clearly, the situation is now completely beyond repair.
"Director Qin, I didn't do anything. I just remembered this student. In the future, the school should set up a facility similar to the principal's complaint mailbox."
I need to encourage enthusiastic students like Qin Feng to continue supervising school conduct and discipline.
Please don't misunderstand. We must protect such students, regard them as role models, and make them a model for all teachers and students to learn from.
This is the truth; I'm not being sarcastic.
Qin Feng, I now make a solemn promise to you: during your university years, no matter the time or place, if you discover any issues related to school conduct or discipline, you must immediately contact me or any teacher present and report the problem to us.
"For a student like Qin Feng, we definitely need to give him special attention and focus on nurturing his growth!"
Well, they're not even pretending anymore.
Yu Zhen and Director Qin exchanged a glance, while Director Qin then turned his gaze to several dignified middle-aged men beside him, clearly seeking their final opinions.
Seeing the leader sigh and nod, Director Qin grinned, beckoned Yu Zhen to come closer, and took out a face wash that had been prepared in advance from his briefcase.
While gesturing for Yu Zhen to wash off the disguise on his face, he sighed, "Principal Liu, everyone, I know that when you see the truth later, you'll probably jump up and down cursing, accusing my investigation team of being inhuman for actually sending an undercover agent to infiltrate the Tsinghua and Peking University campuses, haha—"
Upon hearing this news...
Liu Xiao and the others' expressions changed drastically. "What?! Qin Zhongkai, what are you saying—"
"Directly placing undercover agents within the Tsinghua and Peking University campuses?? Is this Qin Feng an imposter??"
"Qin Feng is an outstanding student officially admitted to our school. Qin Zhongkai, to achieve your goals, you are willing to recklessly ruin the future of an excellent student from Tsinghua or Peking University. You are utterly heartless and insane!"
A group of people were shouting and cursing, which really broke down their defenses.
Only one person, gazing at Yu Zhen's retreating figure, felt a strange sense of familiarity, and a ridiculously absurd guess immediately formed in their mind: Qin Feng was Yu Zhen in disguise? Qin Feng was actually Yu Zhen in disguise—
