14: Believe or not

In the vast cafeteria, Gao Ze's voice was low, yet it struck Gao Xiaohui's heart like a heavy hammer.

Deafening!

Woo woo, she lowered her head, tears falling like pearls, and the more she thought of her brother Gao Ze's every word of care, the more profusely her tears flowed.

During this time, she had indeed experienced many troubles, leaving her, a young girl, at a loss and with no one to confide in.

Fortunately, she had her brother Gao Ze.

"Xiao Hui, why are you crying in the cafeteria?"

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Gao Xiaohui looked up and saw two beautiful young women appear before her.

The girl wearing a white dress and blue-black pleated pants was her good friend Mu Xue.

The cool and ethereal girl beside Mu Xue was Li Qingshu, her roommate, but she came from an excellent family and had a close relationship with Mu Xue.

"Did you encounter a scumbag?" Mu Xue asked, full of gossip.

"What scumbag?" Gao Xiaohui was bewildered, "Why are you looking for me?"

"How could we not look for you?"

"Do you know that the photos of you hugging that handsome guy at the school gate have caused a sensation throughout the school?

Every class group chat and forum has exploded, and everyone is discussing it. I don't know how many boys in our Music Academy will be heartbroken tonight!"

Mu Xue carefully examined Gao Xiaohui's reddened eyes, with trembling tears still under her long eyelashes, and her curiosity exploded:

"Xiao Hui, what exactly is going on with you and that handsome guy you were hugging?"

"Your taste is really good, that handsome guy is even more handsome than a celebrity, but how did he treat you badly? Tell your sisters properly. If he really is a scumbag and is two-timing you, I'll definitely seduce him and get revenge for you to get justice."

Gao Xiaohui: "......."

She finally understood what was going on, and her face flushed slightly:

"What are you talking about? He's my brother. What's wrong with me hugging him?"

"So he's your brother! Good sister, we share blessings, and we must share brothers too. Your brother is my brother.

Now, quickly call him out, and what's your brother's phone number, WeChat, what's his zodiac sign, height, weight, hobbies? Tell me everything."

"You're so silly ~"

Gao Xiaohui was amused. Her best friend Mu Xue had such a cheerful personality and loved handsome guys. She said:

"My brother has already left. He's very busy, I can't call him back."

"He's leaving now? It's only been a short while."

Mu Xue was slightly surprised, glanced at her wristwatch, and shook her head, "It seems he doesn't care about you, his sister, at all."

"No, my brother is the person who loves me the most in the world! I won't allow you to say that about him!"

Gao Xiaohui reined in the smile on her lips and corrected her solemnly.

"Alright, alright, it seems you and your brother have a deep relationship."

Mu Xue also put away the smile on her face. It was the first time she felt her best friend Gao Xiaohui so serious and earnest, as if if she said another bad word about her brother, Gao Xiaohui would immediately turn hostile.

"What is your brother doing at our school?"

Mu Xue was a little unaccustomed to the current atmosphere. Gao Xiaohui was usually very gentle, but now she was too serious. She changed the subject and said, "He specifically came to school to see you, right? It seems he cares about you a lot."

"Yes, he came to see me and also to help me solve the troubles at school."

Gao Xiaohui nodded and briefly recounted her conversation with Gao Ze.

"Ah, your brother is going to help you solve the scholarship scandal at our school, and Zheng Yiren's harassment of you?"

"Can he solve it?"

Mu Xue's mouth was slightly agape, unable to hide her surprise. As Gao Xiaohui's classmate and roommate, she naturally knew about her best friend's situation.

The national scholarship, which was originally given to students with excellent academic performance, should have gone to Gao Xiaohui, but it was withheld by the department head Director Xu and not given to Gao Xiaohui.

She couldn't do anything about it.

Department head Director Xu had great power and connections, and was not someone ordinary female students like them could contend with.

And then there was the rich second-generation Zheng Yiren, the son of a wealthy man in Donghai City. His family had vast assets, and he was a playboy who frequently changed girlfriends. Not only did he harass Gao Xiaohui, but he also bothered her.

It was just that she had a good relationship with Li Qingshu, so Zheng Yiren was slightly wary and didn't go too far with her.

"I believe my brother can solve it!" Gao Xiaohui said with certainty.

"Why? What does your brother do?"

Mu Xue couldn't help but be curious. She was very clear about Gao Xiaohui's family background, which was extremely ordinary, even poor, far inferior to her own middle-class family.

She once wanted to ask her father to help Gao Xiaohui, but even her father couldn't do any of those things. She only remembered her father saying that they could try to expose Director Xu's actions online with their real names, but that was a lose-lose method with unpredictable consequences.

Gao Xiaohui said, "My brother is a Traffic Police!"

Mu Xue was immediately disappointed, feeling her best friend's confidence was too blind.

Just by looking at the photos of Gao Xiaohui and Gao Ze hugging, it was clear that Gao Ze was very young, having been a police officer for only two or three years. How high could a Traffic Police's position be to be able to control department head Director Xu?

Unless Gao Xiaohui's older brother was a detective, that might have some deterrent effect.

Next to the dining table, Li Qingshu also gently shook her head, her cool eyes showing no ripples.

......

Music Academy, Vocal Music Management Department.

After clarifying the department's scholarship scandal and the identity of the second-generation heir who harassed her from his sister Gao Xiaohui's words.

Gao Ze went directly to the Vocal Music Department office.

According to Gao Xiaohui.

The management and distribution of the national scholarship within the department were the responsibility of the department head Director Xu, so the scholarship scandal was most likely Director Xu's doing.

"Knock knock knock!" Gao Ze knocked on Director Xu's office's gray acrylic door.

"Come in!"

Gao Ze pushed the door open in response and saw a lean, thin-faced middle-aged man in his thirties, who was holding a thermos cup and drinking water, his two cold, shadowy eyes sizing him up.

"Who are you?"

"I am Gao Xiaohui's brother, Gao Ze."

Gao Ze did not hide his identity and directly stated it.

"So it's Xiao Hui's brother, no wonder you're so handsome." Director Xu secretly frowned, but on his lips, he smiled faintly and asked, "Why have you come to me?"

"I'm here for my sister's scholarship!"

"My sister Gao Xiaohui is a top student in the Vocal Music Department of the Music Academy. According to regulations, with her academic, professional, and GPA scores all ranking first, she fully meets the national scholarship distribution standards. Why didn't my sister receive the scholarship?"

National scholarships are divided into three categories:

National Scholarship, eight thousand a year; Inspirational Scholarship, five thousand a year; and Student Aid, one thousand five hundred per person per year.

With his sister Gao Xiaohui's excellent academic performance, she could receive the National Scholarship, and given Gao Ze's difficult family circumstances, Gao Xiaohui had also received additional poverty student aid last year.

However, Gao Ze did not intend to take the poverty student aid now; it could be given to those who needed it more.

But the National Scholarship was a legitimate and reasonable benefit that his sister Gao Xiaohui should receive.

Gao Ze would absolutely not let anyone withhold it.
