100: Chapter 101 A Big Shot Arrives
The Dean of Students looked stern as he placed two disciplinary forms on the desk, waiting for the two of them to sign.
Gao Qilan had been a model student since she was a child, so she had never experienced anything like this before.
Facing the teacher's distrust, the tears she had been holding back couldn't help but spill over.
An Xin had originally intended to donate money to his alma mater upon graduation, but now it seemed that was unnecessary.
What kind of students could a teacher like this possibly raise?
An Xin's cold gaze landed imperceptibly on Shen Shuyan.
His hypocritical appearance made An Xin feel nauseous.
He despised this kind of hypocritical person the most.
Teacher, without evidence, this is slander. I have the right not to sign. If you doubt my ability and want to make a big deal out of this, I don't mind going through legal procedures and having my lawyer talk to you.
Accusations of academic fraud are serious enough to involve police resources.
An Xin was a major taxpayer now; he walked the straight and narrow and had absolutely no fear of being investigated.
As for the recording of the false accusation, An Xin had been cautious since seeing Shen Shuyan upon entering the classroom and had secretly started recording on his phone.
This evidence was enough to teach the Dean of Students a lesson.
An Xin had never been the type of person to be easily pushed around.
Having lived two lifetimes, there was no storm or wave he hadn't seen.
Studying was just a way to relive his campus days.
An Xin would not be intimidated by the Dean of Students' status.
An Xin's righteous and confident demeanor made the Dean of Students feel less sure of himself.
Being someone who cared about his reputation, he still forced himself to maintain a stern face.
Is this the attitude of a student? You dare to talk back to your teacher?
The Dean of Students pointed his finger at An Xin's nose.
I am just dealing with the facts and want justice. A teacher's authority shouldn't be greater than the law, right? If I really had cheated, wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted? You could just use this to go through the procedures and expel me.
The more calm and composed An Xin was, the more panicked the Dean of Students became.
On the other side, a rare guest arrived at the school gate.
After much trouble, Song Zihao found the university An Xin was attending and traveled thousands of miles with precious medicinal herbs, hoping to study under him.
That research paper had a great impact on his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and Song Zihao wanted to learn more.
Those three difficult problems that had plagued him kept Song Zihao awake at night.
Song Zihao was a prominent figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Anyone with some social standing knew of Elder Song.
The moment Song Zihao arrived at the university where An Xin was studying and registered his information at the security office, he alarmed the entire school's senior leadership.
They hurriedly paused their teaching seminar and came to the entrance to receive Song Zihao.
The security guard didn't let Song Zihao go directly into the school but instead brewed good tea and asked him to wait there for a while.
Song Zihao was indeed a bit tired from the flight, and in order to be in a good state to ask An Xin for academic advice, he agreed to stay and rest, picking up the teacup to take a sip.
Before Song Zihao had even finished his first cup of water, the various levels of university leadership had arrived at the security office to pick him up.
Teacher Song, you didn't give us any heads-up before coming to our school, which makes it hard for us to properly fulfill our duties as hosts.
The principal was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing black-rimmed glasses; he was a thin, balding old man.
I am here to find someone, not to do research, Principal Li, no need to be so polite. You all go back to your work; I can find the person myself.
Song Zihao preferred peace and quiet; having so many people surrounding him made him feel very uncomfortable.
Who are you looking for? Give me a name, and I will send someone to help you. It's the time when final grades are being released, so there is a lot of movement on campus; it will be a lot of trouble if you try to find someone by yourself.
I am looking for a student named An Xin, he is in some department...
Having been thinking about the paper all along the way, Song Zihao couldn't recall An Xin's major for a moment and hurriedly took out his notebook from his pocket.
Is it the An Xin who is very handsome and has a good business mind?
A professor of financial management asked.
Yes, that's the one. Where is he? Can you take me to see him?
That student is currently in the Dean of Students' office being criticized. Someone reported him for cheating on the final exam, and he is being disciplined! Teacher Song, why are you looking for him? You are no longer young, and it's not easy to save up for retirement; don't get scammed by someone.
The female teacher said with concern.
An Xin was not a scammer.
Song Zihao wanted to explain on An Xin's behalf, but held back the words.
He remembered that An Xin didn't like to be high-profile, and very few people knew that he possessed medical skills.
It was hereditary, and unless it was absolutely necessary, An Xin would not intervene.
He had extremely high medical attainments, but his interests did not lie in medicine.
An Xin's uniqueness left a deep impression.
You don't need to worry about that; take me over there, I want to see him.
He believed that An Xin would not cheat, and his intuition told him that An Xin was in trouble.
This trouble came at just the right time; he would go and help An Xin deal with this little problem.
Once it was settled, An Xin would be happy, and perhaps he might be able to give him more guidance in medicine.
Thinking of this, Song Zihao became somewhat excited.
He was eager to try and wanted to stand up for An Xin.
The female teacher looked at the principal.
Teacher Anna, you take Teacher Song over there. I'll go book a hotel and invite Teacher Song to dinner in the evening. If Teacher Song has time, I'd like to trouble you to give some guidance to a few teachers in our school.
Universities have course ratings every year, and Jinghai University was always one point away from giving the Traditional Chinese Medicine department an A rating.
The principal had been focusing on the teaching curriculum of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department for eight years without any progress.
Now that he saw Song Zihao, he naturally wouldn't let him leave the gates of Jinghai University easily.
He still had to rely on Song Zihao's guidance to seek a better future for the children in the school.
Every bit of strength the university gained improved the students' employment wages.
Song Zihao was a person who didn't like socializing.
He hurriedly stopped the principal who was about to book a hotel.
Principal, there's no need for you to go to such expense. My accommodation and meals have already been arranged. I'm getting old, and my body can't be as reckless as a young person's. Just have the teacher show me the way, and I can look at the annual hospital system and give you a few study spots.
Song Zihao was also a shrewd person; when he left the principal's office, he promised the principal a big reward.
He had done a background check on the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Jinghai University; the course rating was B+, and it was always one point away from being an A.
They hadn't managed to get that one point in eight years of effort.
A good learning opportunity was too important for Jinghai University right now.
They needed better knowledge to improve the school's overall capabilities.
When the principal heard Song Zihao say this, his face immediately bloomed with a smile.
Thank you, Teacher Song, thank you for thinking of the students of Jinghai. Since you are not interested in the meal, I won't force it. No need to say more, I will have someone bring the best medicinal herbs over, striving to use good medicine and learn good medical skills.
Academic knowledge knows no borders; we are all one family. This is what I should do. It's getting late, so I won't chat anymore. I have urgent business to find An Xin.
As soon as Song Zihao said this, the female teacher dared not waste any time and immediately took him away.
