Chapter 51: Expel Chen Ye?

Chapter 51: Expel Chen Ye?

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Inside the school's conference room.

Some important leaders are urgently holding a meeting.

"The reason for calling everyone here so late for a meeting, I believe you all should know, right?"

Vice President Zhang spoke in a serious tone: "Now, there are many negative comments about our Wu University on the internet. We must take it seriously. If we don't find a way to stop it, it will cause irreversible damage to our university's reputation."

"What are your thoughts? Let's hear them!"

No one spoke.

The conference room was very quiet.

No one dared to easily offer suggestions on such matters.

Speaking out of turn would bring consequences!

Most importantly, with discussions rampant on the internet, this matter has already become widely known across the country, making it extremely difficult to handle.

Seeing no one speaking up, the Vice President suddenly snorted coldly, his tone stern: "When the President wanted to give preferential treatment to this student named Chen Ye, I strongly opposed it because I knew that once such matters were exposed, it would undoubtedly cause significant damage to the school's reputation. Now, it has happened!"

"The President is just too stubborn, acting alone!"

"Now that such a thing has happened, someone must take responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the other leaders were suddenly shocked!

Anyone who could become a leader wasn't foolish.

It was obvious that Vice President Zhang was seizing the opportunity to attack President Lu and make him take the blame...

It seems that Vice President Zhang believes this is an excellent opportunity to bring down President Lu, so he can't help but take action?

Although everyone knew that Vice President Zhang had always harbored ambitions to become the President, President Lu is still at the forefront!

Is it too hasty to stab him in the back at this time?

At this moment, the Director of Finance suddenly spoke up in agreement: "Vice President Zhang is right. The evaluations on the internet now have caused extremely negative effects on Wu University's reputation. This matter cannot be simply overlooked!"

Once again, everyone was shocked, looking at Director Wang with surprise.

You see, this Director Wang was promoted by President Lu himself!

No one expected this guy to already be siding with the Vice President.

Vice President Zhang was quite satisfied with Director Wang's support.

However, since no one else moved, he furrowed his brows again.

After some thought, Vice President Zhang continued, "Regarding assigning responsibility, let's discuss it later. The immediate priority is to handle this matter well and minimize its impact on Wu University's reputation!"

Everyone was speechless.

You were the one who suggested assigning responsibility, and when not many responded, you changed your tune. So, you think you can do whatever you want just because you hold power?

At this point, everyone understood that Vice President Zhang's earlier words were actually a test of everyone's attitudes.

At this moment...

Director Wang, who had just supported Vice President Zhang, suddenly spoke, "Vice President Zhang, I have an immature idea..."

"Oh?"

Vice President Zhang was quite pleased with Director Wang's support and said with a smile, "Director Wang, feel free to share your thoughts."

"Then I'll share my humble opinion."

Director Wang cleared his throat and said seriously, "Personally, I believe the reason for today's significant negative impact is all because of that student named Chen Ye! As long as we expel him and then release an apology statement, I believe we can salvage our reputation."

"What netizens want is our attitude, right? If we provide an explanation, I believe they'll be satisfied."

"Furthermore, I heard that this student named Chen Ye, at a young age, isn't studying well and is entirely focused on wooing girls, especially Tang Zichen. Tang Zichen is a talent and will bear heavy responsibilities in the future. How can he associate with such an underachieving student?"

"Expelling him can also prevent Tang Zichen from going astray, killing two birds with one stone!"

Clap! Clap!

As Director Wang finished speaking, Vice President Zhang immediately applauded: "Well said! This is what it means to be a practical leader... You all should learn from Director Wang."

Suddenly criticized, everyone's faces turned a bit unpleasant.

They knew Vice President Zhang was targeting them!

Learn from Director Wang? Learn how to cozy up to Vice President Zhang?

"If there are no better ideas, then let's proceed with this plan!"

Vice President Zhang commanded, turning to a middle-aged man sitting at the bottom of the table, "Xiao Zhou, immediately use our Wu University official account to release a statement announcing the expulsion of Chen Ye! Find an excuse, say it was a mistake in the school's records during the admission of new students, and then apologize to the netizens."

"This..."

Xiao Zhou, hearing this order, looked extremely unhappy, feeling incredibly conflicted inside.

If he really dared to follow Vice President Zhang's request and release such an announcement, he would definitely offend President Lu!

Even if President Lu was generous, he wouldn't get any benefits from it.

As long as President Lu was fine, there would be plenty of people willing to take the initiative to handle him later.

Not to mention, that student named Chen Ye wasn't an easy target either!

His father was the president of the superhero association's branch, a well-known fifth-rank powerhouse nationwide. If he retaliated, given Xiao Zhou's small stature, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But, with Vice President Zhang right in front of him, he didn't dare to oppose Vice President Zhang's orders...

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Zhou could only cast a pleading glance at a woman.

Seeing this, the woman immediately said, "Vice President Zhang, shouldn't we handle this matter cautiously? Expelling a student should at least be notified to the President, right?"

"Moreover, I don't think this is the best way to handle it. Directly expelling a student to appease the doubts of netizens will only make people feel that our Wu University is afraid to take responsibility and will throw people out when things go wrong."

"And another thing, don't forget, the student you want to expel, his father is the president of the provincial branch of the superhero association!"

Vice President Zhang's face immediately darkened.

The woman who contradicted him was a staunch supporter promoted by President Lu himself.

He detested such people.

Just as Vice President Zhang was about to retort...

Suddenly.

There was an urgent knock on the door of the conference room.

Vice President Zhang's brows furrowed, and he loudly said, "Come in!"

The door of the conference room was pushed open.

Entering was a woman, an administrative assistant, holding a tablet computer in her hand.

"Xiao Li? Didn't you see that we were having a meeting? What's the matter, speak quickly!"

Vice President Zhang, in a bad mood, immediately rebuked.

Xiao Li didn't mind; she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly said, "Several leaders, there's an emergency! Half an hour ago, Tang Zichen posted a video on the internet, which is closely related to the controversy online... Now, this video has gone viral and is being circulated like crazy by netizens."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Including Vice President Zhang, no one expected Tang Zichen to come out at a time like this.

Now they were even more worried that Tang Zichen might say something wrong and make the situation worse.

"What did she say?" Vice President Zhang asked hastily.

"The video is here."

Xiao Li didn't relay the message verbally. Instead, she placed the tablet computer on the conference table and played the video.

On the screen.

Tang Zichen's delicate and lovely face appeared in the mirror, her pearly white teeth lightly parted as she began to speak:

"Good evening, everyone. I'm Tang Zichen... Regarding the controversy on the internet today, I feel it's necessary to come out and clarify some things."

"Two months ago, after successfully matching with the S2 Hero Talent, I received an invitation from Wu University. Here, I want to thank the leaders of Wu University for their kindness! Being able to enter a prestigious university like Wu University has always been a dream come true for me... Later, I heard that Chen Ye matched with the C-rank Hero Talent... I was worried about his situation, so I made a very unreasonable request to Wu University..."

"I didn't expect the leaders of Wu University to be so open-minded, willing to make an exception to admit Chen Ye for my sake..."

"The truth of the matter is that simple. There is no dirty or shady relationship between Chen Ye and Wu University. Please stop speculating randomly, everything was my own decision. If there's any fault, it's mine!"

"I'm also willing to accept any punishment!"

...

The video was short.

And it ended here.

This statement wasn't perfect and seemed immature in various aspects.

After all, Tang Zichen was just an eighteen-year-old girl, and she didn't have a professional PR team to assist her. Being able to say such words was already quite decent and commendable.

At this moment, the school leaders.

After watching the video.

All wore a dumbfounded expression!!
