Nalan Chunbo turned around only to glance at Wen Shan, before s.h.i.+fting his gaze to the students and reporters.

“Regarding the reform, it isn’t my initial wish to explain too much because this concerns the reputation of an educational inst.i.tution. Yet, now I feel that I have to explain—it has nothing to do with abusing my position for personal gain. I’m merely using this issue to tell all the teachers that a teacher’s role is to escort students on their educational journey; not taking advantage of them or blackmailing them,” Nalan Chunbo said as he looked down at the two professors below the stage.

Wen Shan’s body was still trembling, but she endured.

“Wen Shan is merely an outlier, but she is also the embodiment of the problem. It was because of Wen Shan that I saw these issues existed. At this moment, I’m not trying to avoid suspicion. In fact, I feel that it is fortunate that I know her; that fortunately, she is my fiancée. Otherwise, these problems will never be discovered.”

Fiancée?

Wen Shan’s eyes widened as she looked at the person on stage in disbelief. What nonsense was he spouting?

“Subst.i.tuting someone else’s cla.s.ses is a very normal thing, but an excessive subst.i.tution of cla.s.ses is an abnormal issue. I was the one who proposed the implementation of a real-time recording of cla.s.s hours. It was not for Wen Shan, but for the sake of more students who might teach in the school or do their postgraduate studies in the future. If the foundation of an academy isn’t to escort and protect their students, then what is it for?”

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience once Nalan Chubo finished his speech.

“…” Wen Shan was speechless.

“See that? This is how a person who’s used to standing on the international stage carries himself. I reckon that if you didn’t say that you wanted to be the dean’s wife, he wouldn’t have come at all.” Professor Zhou chuckled beside her. “Oh, hey, I just remembered this. That day, when I went to see the dean, he was there to turn down the offer as the next dean. When I said that I would throw you to deal with Righteous Yin, he immediately agreed. I wonder for whom did he do that for?”

Wen Shan was at a loss for words.

Was there such a thing?

“So, are you admitting that you wanted to throw me out back then?” replied Wen Shan indignantly as she pointed accusingly at Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou’s expression changed and he snorted, “Is that the way to speak to your teachers? Don’t you know how to respect your teachers?”

Wen Shan harrumphed and continued to look at the stage.

“Regarding the issue of reimburs.e.m.e.nt for professors, professors are allocated a fixed amount every month. These are all used to fund research. However, after a long time, I think that perhaps, everyone had forgotten the original purpose of reimburs.e.m.e.nt. They thought they could reimburse anything they liked—it was nice to have an additional fifty million and ten thousand per month. Of course, this isn’t a big problem at all. The problem lies in the fact that you have all forgotten that as professors, apart from teaching and educating people, there is also research. Therefore, the issue of reimburs.e.m.e.nt has nothing to do with Wen Shan. I hope that my inst.i.tution—in the future—won’t be producing these big-bellied idiots. Instead, it will be the professors who will truly lead the students in scientific research.”

Clap, clap, clap—

“…” Wen Shan said nothing.

Wen Shan looked at Righteous Yin’s face as it transformed into the purplish-red of a pig’s liver. She felt that the words Nalan Chunbo said in retaliation sounded extremely harsh.

Nalan Chunbo looked at Professor Yin with his big belly and said, “Regarding the matter of you accusing Wen Shan of plagiarizing your thesis, I think you need to explain why the doc.u.ment you submitted has Wen Shan’s name on it.”

In a Word doc.u.ment, there would be an editor’s record. This editor was usually the author, but very few people would really notice this issue. Therefore, it was obvious that Righteous Yin did not notice this problem either.

Sure enough, after Nalan Chunbo finished talking, Righteous Yin’s purplish-red face transformed into one that looked even uglier. He staggered a step back, not knowing what to say next.
