17: Chapter 17 Xueyao

"Alright, next is Teacher Wu."

"How was student Jiang Chen's performance in your marine biology class?"

Director Cai Minghui looked at the next person.

Teacher Wu, a tall man, stood up without even glancing at Principal Lai Jinsheng and spoke with solemn impartiality: "Student Jiang Chen has been excellent throughout his four years of university!"

As soon as he said this, the meeting room fell silent!

Principal Lai Jinsheng's eyes flashed, and he stared coldly at the teacher: "Teacher Wu, you need to be responsible for your words."

"Principal Lai, are you trying to interfere with my investigation?" Director Cai Minghui glanced at Principal Lai Jinsheng, then looked at Teacher Wu, "Continue."

Teacher Wu said: "Student Jiang Chen performed very well in class, his assignments were excellent, and every one of his assignments can be found in my email. This is my USB drive."

With that, he handed the memory card he had prepared earlier to Director Cai Minghui.

This scene.

Made Principal Lai Jinsheng's face sink.

He had already made arrangements with these teachers, promising them promotions if they remained silent.

He didn't expect Teacher Wu to agree outwardly but then go back on his word!

"Hmm, do you have any other evidence?"

Director Cai Minghui nodded, and after reviewing the evidence compiled by Teacher Wu, he had someone collect it.

Teacher Wu, ignoring Principal Lai Jinsheng's increasingly grim expression, continued: "Student Jiang Chen is one of the most outstanding students I have ever met. Not only can I prove it, but his classmates can also prove it."

"If I'm not mistaken, he seems to have received the 'Three Virtues Student' award several times. His classmates probably have photographic records."

"These photographic records should also serve as proof."

Teacher Wu provided a new line of thought.

Even if Principal Lai Jinsheng erased Jiang Chen's 'Three Virtues Student' achievements from the school system, he couldn't erase them from society at large!

"Understood! I will look for these photos."

Director Cai Minghui nodded and continued to question the next teacher.

Of the remaining three teachers, two, seeing the unfavorable situation, feigned ignorance, saying they didn't have a deep impression of Jiang Chen.

The last teacher was Jiang Chen's homeroom teacher.

He said to Director Cai Minghui: "Student Jiang Chen has no problems. As his homeroom teacher, I know that better than anyone."

"The one with the problem is probably Principal Lai."

As soon as he said this, the accusation was pointed directly at Principal Lai Jinsheng.

"Alright! I understand. Afterwards, I will represent the Department of Education and disclose all evidence."

Director Cai Minghui finished speaking and gave Principal Lai Jinsheng a deep look.

From the current evidence, it was clear that Principal Lai Jinsheng had tampered with things.

However, he didn't say anything more, but turned to gather more evidence.

...

At this moment.

Inside the Qin Family Villa.

Qin Xueyao was having dinner with her parents.

Halfway through the meal.

Qin Xueyao suddenly looked up at the man seated at the head of the table: "Dad!"

"Hmm?"

Qin Guohua looked at his daughter.

Qin Xueyao looked at him expectantly, and finally spoke: "Jiang Chen recently had a bit of trouble, can you help me?"

"Jiang Chen? Hmph, that kid goes out to sea all the time for no reason, and now he's finally in trouble?" Qin Guohua snorted in displeasure.

Going out to sea every day.

And always to the deep sea.

How dangerous is that?

Yet his own daughter also loves going out to sea, even chasing after him to go together.

Does she really not worry about falling into the sea and being eaten by a great white shark?

Qin Xueyao pouted: "Dad, what are you saying? Do you want him to be in trouble that much?"

Qin Guohua's old face darkened: "I'm not cursing him, but he goes out to sea every day, which is inherently dangerous. Now you say he's in trouble, isn't that normal?"

"Oh, where did your mind go? The trouble I'm talking about isn't at sea, but at his alma mater. For some reason, they suddenly revoked his student status and slandered him, saying his undergraduate grades were very poor!"

"Isn't that nonsense!"

"You know about him getting the 'Three Virtues Student' award, right?"

Qin Xueyao explained the situation.

"Revoked student status?" Qin Guohua also looked up in confusion, "Why would they revoke his student status for no reason?"

Although he didn't particularly like Jiang Chen's profession of going out to sea every day, he had no objections to his past university grades.

After all.

To be able to win the 'Three Virtues Student' award meant his grades were quite good.

Qin Xueyao slapped the table: "That's the problem! Many people know that Jiang Chen's academic performance is very good. Ocean University, I don't know what went wrong, but they actually issued a public announcement saying his thesis had problems, that he failed many courses in his four years of university, and that they want to revoke his student status..."

"Don't you work at Longke Academy and know many uncles and aunts in the Department of Education?"

"Can you help ask around? If the Director of the Department of Education helps investigate, maybe the truth will come out!"

Qin Xueyao pleaded.

She certainly believed in her boyfriend.

Now that this incident had occurred, she naturally hoped her family could help her.

Qin Guohua pondered for a while.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Jiang Chen's profession, this matter was indeed a bit strange.

After thinking, he said: "Alright, I'll go to the academy and ask for you later!"

"Dad, you're the best!"

Qin Xueyao blew her dad a kiss.

Qin Guohua rolled his eyes at her: "A grown daughter is like spilled water, sooner or later she'll have nothing to do with me!"

"No way! Hehe."

Qin Xueyao cooed.

The next day.

Qin Guohua hadn't even woken up yet when his daughter knocked on his door, waking him.

"Father, it's time for work."

Qin Xueyao stood prettily at the door.

Qin Guohua looked helpless: "Look how eager you are!"

After washing up and eating breakfast, he finally left under Qin Xueyao's repeated urging.

Upon arriving at Longke Academy.

He went straight to Xia Zhongxun's office.

However, Xia Zhongxun had been very busy recently, and even as a senior researcher like Qin Guohua, he had to wait in line.

But for his daughter's sake, he still intended to inquire with Dean Xia.

Finally.

It was his turn.

"Old Qin, what's up?"

Xia Zhongxun was busy testing Jiang Chen's submitted thesis, "On How to Establish an Efficient Combat System for Intelligent Mecha."

"Dean Xia, I have something I'd like to trouble you with."

Qin Guohua explained his purpose to Xia Zhongxun.

Although Xia Zhongxun was the Dean of Longke Academy, he also held significant sway within the Department of Education.

For example, the current Director of the Department of Education was his former student.

If one wanted to inquire about matters in the education sector, finding Xia Zhongxun was indeed a good method.

"Jiang Chen?"

Xia Zhongxun looked up at Qin Guohua with some surprise.

It was the first time he learned that Jiang Chen was Old Qin's daughter's boyfriend.

He had been wondering if his own daughter had a chance, but it seems Old Qin's daughter had already beaten her to it?

Qin Guohua nodded: "Alas, yes, this Jiang Chen is my daughter's boyfriend. Recently, something happened, and his academic qualifications were suddenly revoked by Ocean University. I thought, don't you have students in the Department of Education, could you possibly..."

Qin Guohua spoke with some hesitation.

Only a handful of people, including Xia Zhongxun, knew about Jiang Chen submitting the dolphins, the Brain-like Mecha, and his thesis. Qin Guohua, despite being a senior researcher, was actually unaware.

So he was a bit worried that Xia Zhongxun might find it troublesome.

Seeing this, Xia Zhongxun smiled knowingly.

"Old Qin, I'll remember this matter."

"I'll find someone to help you ask around later."

Xia Zhongxun had already sent Director Cai Minghui to resolve it, and he believed there would be an answer soon.

There was no need to rush.

"Then thank you very much, Dean Xia."

"I thank you on behalf of my girl!"

Qin Guohua was a bit surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude.
