nWhen Song Fengwan walked onto the stage, the focus was on Wu Yuxin, who was standing in the background, sobbing uncontrollably.

nHer eyes were red and swollen as she stared at Song Fengwan with envy and hatred.

n“Classmate, give me the award.” Assistant Little Jiang walked over and snatched the red packet from her hand forcefully. He even counted the amount in front of her.

nThere was 20,000 yuan inside.

n“I never opened it!” Wu Yuxin’s pride seemed to be ground to pieces by someone.

nWhy did he count money in front of me? Does he think I stole it?

nDoes he think I’m a thief?

n“To be on the safe side, it’s better to clarify the amount. This award has only gone through your hands at the moment. If there’s anything missing later, it will be deducted from my salary.” Little Jiang glanced at her.

nThis time, it was because Little Boss knew Song Fengwan. If it was anyone else, no one would have cared about this matter at all. Wouldn’t the person who was replaced by her feel aggrieved to death?

nYou even feel wronged.

nThis is Third Master’s wife. Even Little Boss has to call her sister-in-law. You’re really bold.

nAt this moment, Duan Linbai had already handed the award over to Song Fengwan.

n“If you encounter any injustice in the future, you can look for me anytime.” He took out a pen from his pocket and wrote his phone number on the red envelope.

nEveryone was envious. Duan Linbai’s contact information, how many people wanted it?

n“Thank you.” Song Fengwan tried her best to remain calm.

nShe had seen Duan Linbai play Fight the Landlord at Fu Chen’s house even though he was crippled. She had seen him blind but still flamboyant everywhere. Seeing him so serious, she really couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

n“I’ll get my assistant to send you a Thousand Treasures Mall diamond card later. Fifty percent off at every mall.”

nThe audience was boiling. This kind of card was sold in limited quantities. They had heard of it, but no one had seen it before. She was too lucky.

n“I hope you won’t be arrogant or impetuous. Study hard and create greater glory,” Duan Linbai said seriously. He even took a photo with Song Fengwan for remembrance.

nHis attitude toward her was very good. But he acted very gentlemanly, and his mannerisms and spear were reasonable and polite.

nSong Fengwan had indeed been wronged because of this matter. The other students could only envy the reward given by the Duan Group.

nAs soon as Song Fengwan got off stage, someone walked over. “Don’t leave later. You have to go to the principal’s office. The school will give you an explanation.”

nBeijing University was a top prestigious school in the country. This kind of scandal happened on the first day of school. Moreover, Duan Linbai had publicly pointed it out. If the school didn’t deal with it properly, it would be difficult to convince the public.

nMoreover, the school had to give Duan Linbai an explanation.

n“Okay.” Song Fengwan sat backstage obediently and waited for the assembly to end.

nThe new student assembly was originally scheduled to be from nine to eleven o’clock, but due to the unexpected situation, it ended early.

nAll the leaders went to the principal’s office by car.

nBeijing University occupied an area of more than 160 acres, and the principal’s office was more than a 20-minute walk from the auditorium. After Duan Linbai got off the stage, he directly invited Song Fengwan to take his car, while Wu Yuxin was left alone.

nAt this moment, she was already notorious. Talking to her could even get people into trouble.

nThe students who helped backstage all looked at her strangely. There were some unspoken rules that everyone tacitly understood, and it was too embarrassing if someone pointed it out.

n***

nAs soon as Song Fengwan got into the car, the serious Duan Linbai suddenly changed his expression.

n“Little Sister-in-Law, was I especially handsome just now?!

n“F*ck, let me tell you. I haven’t scolded anyone for a long time. Where did this girl come from? How dare she snatch what I gave you?

n“Does she think I’m dead? If Third Fu found out I didn’t do anything, he would definitely have skinned me alive.

n“We don’t usually bully others, but we can’t allow others to bully us either, right?”

nSong Fengwan smiled awkwardly. He was only serious for three seconds.

n“Little Jiang, did you get someone to take a picture of my handsome appearance just now?”

n“It was filmed.” Little Jiang sat in the front passenger seat and sent the video to Duan Linbai.

nHe immediately forwarded the video to the group chat and @ everyone. He started to show off and even asked Fu Chen for credit.

nFu Chen: I’ll treat you to dinner later.

nDuan Linbai was all smiles. He opened Weibo. He had posted on Weibo before coming to attend the assembly. At this moment, there were many comments @’ing him, and he was looking at the comments.

nThe matter of him rebuking someone in the auditorium wasn’t widely spread. After all, this matter involved the reputation of Beijing University, so the school would give an explanation and hope that the students wouldn’t spread it.

nWu Yuxin’s fraudulent claim of the award only spread within a small area of the school.

nEven though the counselors from the various classes had repeatedly reminded them, the news still spread throughout the school. Even Song Fengwan became the focus of attention.

n“Let’s go around first. There’s no hurry.” Duan Linbai scrolled through Weibo.

n“Aren’t we going over now?” Little Jiang was puzzled.

n“Everyone’s not there yet. Why go there early? Little Sister-in-Law, I’ll take you on a tour of the school. Speaking of which, you’re considered my junior.”

nSong Fengwan nodded. After she entered the school, she had started the military training, so she had indeed not looked around the school properly.

n***

nAs soon as the car arrived at the office building, a student led them to a small conference room on the first floor.

nWhen Song Fengwan and Duan Linbai arrived at the conference room, in addition to several major leaders of the school, the dean and department leaders of the art school, as well as the teachers and counselors in charge of student affairs, and even the people who arranged the assembly were all present.

nWu Yuxin was also here. She had obviously run over. Her face was red as she panted, and her clothes were drenched.

nShe had been crying while running. Her makeup was ruined, and her nose was red.

nThere were too many people, so they couldn’t use the office and had to use the conference room.

nAt this moment, everyone looked at Song Fengwan with different expressions. She politely greeted the dean and the teachers she knew. Seeing her counselor standing at the side, she also walked over obediently to stand at the side.

n“Come and sit with me.” Duan Linbai patted the seat beside him. “They need to stand as punishment, but you don’t.”

nA certain someone’s attitude was firm. Song Fengwan had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit beside him.

n“Since everyone is here, Dean Liu, this is your school’s matter after all. You should preside over it first.” The principal gave up his seat.

nDean Liu Hong had still been teaching second-year students at the time. When he heard about this, his face immediately turned green with anger.

nThere were more than a thousand students in the art school. Besides teaching classes and researching his own research, he also had to look after the masters and PhD students. It was impossible for him to be concerned about every student. Moreover, when he met Qiao Xiyan, Qiao Xiyan had said that he didn’t need to take special care of Song Fengwan.

nHe thought that Song Fengwan was outstanding in her studies and would definitely have her own world, so he didn’t pay too much attention to her.

nUndergraduates had their own management department, so there were some things that didn’t need to be reported to him. As for the award winners, it was handled by the counselors and the teachers, so he didn’t know the inside story.

nHe didn’t expect people to step on Song Fengwan.

nIf Old Master Qiao was still alive, he would have no face to see him.

nLiu Hong walked to the podium. “First of all, this incident is indeed my dereliction of duty. I apologize to Song Fengwan on behalf of the school.”

nSong Fengwan pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice, “It’s alright.”

nLiu Hong coughed twice. “Who exactly is in charge of this matter? All those involved, regardless of whether they are teachers or students, take the initiative to stand forward now.

n“Don’t wait for me to name you and embarrass you.

n“How could there be such a big mistake in your work? What are the teachers doing the reviews and inspections doing? School has just started, and the awards only need to be based on the results of the college entrance examination. There’s no need to count course credits. How could such a thing go wrong…

n“It’s obvious how negligent you are in your usual work!”

nThe group of people who took the initiative to step forward had never seen such a scene before. They were all trembling with fear.

nWu Yuxin cried the most miserably. She kept her head lowered and sobbed silently. Some teachers around her couldn’t stand it and even gave her a few faces.

n“What exactly are you feeling wronged about?” Duan Linbai took a deep breath. He really couldn’t stand it anymore.

nF*ck, I’ve given you face, yet you’re still f*cking crying?

n“The real victim is here. You implicated so many people, so where do you get the face to cry? Weren’t you happy when you went on stage to receive the award?

n“If you have the ability to do it, you have to be prepared to take responsibility. You can’t erase the matter just by crying.

n“Don’t say that you’re young and ignorant. You’re already in university, and you’re no longer a child. If you did something wrong, just stand still and accept it. Don’t do this.”

nWu Yuxin sniffed. Standing there, she felt uncomfortable not crying. But Duan Linbai’s words made her swallow her tears.

nShe was in a difficult position both inside and outside.

n“Tell me what happened!” Liu Hong was furious.

n“Dean Liu, Wu Yuxin is the only one among the new students chosen to participate in the Welcome Gala. This is quite honorable as well, so we thought that she could also represent our school,” a teacher said softly.

nThe matter wasn’t that simple. Those who would help Wu Yuxin had a good relationship with her. Usually, they could operate awards and scholarships secretly and do some tricks. But who would have thought that this matter would be exposed?

n“You mean, you are responsible for this matter?” Duan Linbai sneered. “This has nothing to do with Wu Yuxin. It’s your responsibility, right?”

n“I…” This teacher just wanted to find a reason to prove that choosing Wu Yuxin wasn’t wrong so as to clear himself.

n“Is it because your school didn’t give you enough notice? My reward was for the top students. In the art school, just because you can participate in the gala, you can represent the school…”

nDuan Linbai chuckled.

n“When I was in school back then, I was chosen to represent the country to perform overseas. I didn’t even dare to say that I could represent my school and the university!

nSong Fengwan’s lips twitched.

nHe even performed on behalf of the country?

nI’ve never seen anyone bragging about themselves while criticizing others. Everyone knows that you’re outstanding, okay?

nAssistant Little Jiang was standing beside him with a normal expression. It was obvious that he was used to his little boss’s frivolous actions.

n“Since when did the standards of excellence for students become a talent show? Then why are you still in class? Why don’t you just go sing and dance?”

nDuan Linbai’s words were indeed sarcastic.

nOn the stage, Liu Hong’s face was even darker. “Don’t make any excuses at a time like this. From this matter, you can see how dirty our school’s usual award judging is!”

n“Don’t be a teacher anymore.

n“You weren’t given the right to bully students!”

nThe teacher was dumbfounded. In the school, other than the teachers in teaching positions, there were also administrative positions. It wasn’t easy to climb up.

nIt hadn’t been easy for him to gain some rights, but he was removed just like that?

nFurthermore, he was fired!

nAfter being expelled from Beijing University, it would be difficult to find a job in the future.

n“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. We will set up a special investigation team in the school and thoroughly investigate the awards and scholarships in recent years. I want to see how deep the water is.

n“University is indeed not like high school, but it’s still a school. How can you dirty this sacred place?”

nPrestigious schools could be said to be national treasures. If the school was dirty, the students would be bitterly disappointed, let alone think about how to repay the country in the future.

n…

nVery soon, the university announced that the teacher involved had been expelled and four students had been criticized. Wu Yuxin was reported to the entire school to be criticized, and she was given a major demerit and placed on probation.

nWhen the notice was issued, the entire school was in an uproar.

nStudents in the capital were all very well-mannered. Some people had been in university for four years, but they had never seen the school punish students. As soon as this person entered the school, she was placed on probation. This time, she had completely become the school’s ‘popular person’.

nThe university had set up an investigation team to investigate the award and scholarship winners of the various departments. Some students who had indeed gone through the back door were instantly on tenterhooks and hated Wu Yuxin to the core.

nNot only was she unlucky, but she also dragged a large group of people down with her.

nThe announcement was announced by the dean of the Academic Affairs Office at the Welcome Gala that night. He hoped that all the students would take this as a warning, and the program Wu Yuxin had rehearsed for half a month was directly canceled.

nSong Fengwan watched the gala and returned to her dorm room, only to hear that Wu Yuxin’s mother was here. This kind of punishment had to be recorded in her file, and it would affect her future job prospects. Her mother had even planned to give something to the dean. But before she could even enter his office, she was chased out along with her things.

nWhen Song Fengwan returned to the dormitory, she found out that in order to prevent the two of them from encountering awkwardness, the dormitory supervisor had helped Wu Yuxin change her dorm room. There was only a cold mat on the bed.

nSong Fengwan and Miao Yating went out to take a shower. The young lady was in a good mood and treated the other two in her dorm room to bubble tea. She had probably been bullied by Wu Yuxin in class before, but she had a soft personality and didn’t dare to say anything.

nWhen they returned, Song Fengwan saw that Hu Xinyue had posted a poster of Duan Linbai beside her grandfather’s picture.

n“You…”

n“I just went to the small supermarket at the school gates to buy it. I’ve decided to be Duan Linbai’s simp for the rest of my life!” Hu Xinyue laughed unrestrainedly.

nThe corners of Song Fengwan’s lips twitched. If you could see his usual appearance, you would definitely poke your eyes.

n
