Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Rong Rong, Im in the presidents office. Can you come over when you get a chance?] The text lit up her phone.

So, President Zhang has finally returned from his trip? About time, the semester is nearly over. Rong Qi thought to herself. She quickly tapped out a reply, [Sure, Ill be right there.]

As Rong Qi pocketed her phone and rose to leave, she saw heads popping up below the exceedingly long staircase that led to her spot. She craned her neck for a closer look and saw Eagle and his men. Trailing behind them, winded and gasping for air, were Tang Lin and Qiu Yonggen.

She chuckled to herself, staying put, and watched them ascend.

Boss, whatever you do, dont jump, okay? Just stay right where you are and dont slip! Eagle and his men reached her, panting and looking concerned, though too out of breath to articulate their worry.

From their vantage point, Rong Qi was perched on a slanted rock, half her body leaning ominously forward as if she could tumble down at any second.

Is this some kind of intervention? she thought, furrowing her brow. She didnt know what they were up to, but she didnt budge an inch.

Finally catching his breath, Qiu Yonggen spoke, Rong Qi, listen. Theres been a misunderstanding. Mr. Tang didnt mean to accuse you. Hes sorry about that. You have an official leave-of-absence slip from the president, so its not like youre late on purpose. Now, would you please come with us? The committee of the Academic and Research Society is waiting for you. Theres no need for any rash decisions.

Qiu Yonggen felt as though hed swallowed a thorn. If something went wrong here, it could create a major scandal for the university.

Rong Qi sneered. So, I have official doc.u.mentation, yet Mr. Tang still threw me out of the cla.s.sroom? Should I interpret this as prejudice?

Her voice was dripping with irony.

Qiu Yonggens facial expression stiffened, What are you saying? Mr. Tang has been teaching for years. Do you really think hes that petty?

Rong Qi simply smiled, her silence speaking volumes.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Yonggen tried a different tack, Why dont you come down and meet with the committee members at the presidents office? Theyre talking about some modeling compet.i.tion and its important that you partic.i.p.ate.

Rong Qi turned to look at them, frowning, A modeling compet.i.tion? And Im the one to represent the university? Someone who disrespects their instructor and is penalized twenty points?

Qiu Yonggen choked on his words, unable to retort. He said, This modeling compet.i.tion is very important; even the committee of the Academic and Research Society is here in person. It would be a shame if you miss out.

But he failed me from the course, Rong Qi said.

Your grade wont be docked, he finally managed, glancing at Tang Lin, who stood rigidly nearby, his face ashen.

Rong Qi continued, I was still removed from the cla.s.sroom.

Her tongue is very sharp. I had come in person but Rong Qi is still uncooperative. Qiu Yonggen thought. He sighed, I promise this will never happen again. Mr. Tang has a.s.sured me.

She pressed, So you admit that Mr. Tang was wrong?

Rong Qi was relentless. Tang Lin looked even more embarra.s.sed, and Qiu Yonggen was at a loss for words.

Dealing with Rong Qi was proving to be an exercise in futility for Qiu Yonggen and Tang Lin..
