Chapter 216: Chapter 165: Time for Lu Fan’s Face-Slap!! So Satisfying
Since the two of them had agreed to leave for their Huang Mountain trip together tomorrow afternoon,
before leaving, Jiang Silu asked, "Oh, right, should I ask my brother? I wonder if he’d want to go?"
Lu Fan smiled. "I doubt he can make it. Better not to ask."
Jiang Silu pouted, "I have no idea what he’s been so busy with these days. He’s always occupied with his startup, and he even asked to borrow money from me."
"If your brother asks to borrow money from you, just lend him whatever you have. If it’s not enough, tell me," Lu Fan replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Silu sensed that Lu Fan knew something. "Did something happen to my brother?" she asked curiously.
"Not your brother. It’s his partner, the young woman," Lu Fan explained.
Jiang Silu was rather curious. "How do you seem to know everything? It’s incredible."
"I just happened to hear about it. Your brother is facing some difficulties with his startup right now, so he might need money. If he asks you for more, just come to me."
Jiang Silu nodded. "Should I tell him that you’re the one secretly helping him?"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Don’t tell him for now. He might get stubborn and refuse the money."
"Okay."
Jiang Silu replied, a bit awkwardly, "I’m sorry. My brother probably isn’t ready to get to know you just yet."
"It’s okay." Lu Fan smiled. "There’s plenty of time. Now go on, go try those pastries and milk tea."
"Okay!"
Jiang Silu was very happy. She waved goodbye. "I’m heading off then~ Bye-bye~"
Watching her walk away, Lu Fan felt a sense of gratification.
Soon,
he was back in his car, ready to get an update on Jiang Sifan’s situation.
But Chen He said, "It seems the teacher has started looking for the young master. I’ve had Lao Liu and Lao Jiu find the relevant evidence. Should we hand it over to the teacher?"
Lu Fan said, "In that case, I’ll go in person. Have Lao Liu and Lao Jiu send me the surveillance footage."
"Yes, Boss."
「At Jinling Institute of Technology.」
Jiang Sifan’s counselor found Teacher Zhu of the Dual Innovation Department.
As Jiang Sifan’s teacher, he felt a natural duty to seek justice for his student. He looked at Teacher Zhu and said, "Teacher Zhu, Xu Junjie, as head of the Dual Innovation Department, has failed to fulfill his duties and even abused his position for a personal vendetta. I don’t believe a student like that is fit to hold the post of department head."
Teacher Zhu hadn’t expected Jiang Sifan’s counselor to be so blunt. Ever conscious of her own authority, she naturally took this as a provocation.
She grew a little angry. "Look, Teacher Ma, you shouldn’t be so quick to voice your opinion without a clear understanding of the situation. This was a trivial matter to begin with. How did it suddenly escalate to whether or not he’s fit for his job?"
Counselor Ma explained, "My student, Jiang Sifan, went out of his way to publicly apologize to Xu Junjie in his classroom today. If he hadn’t been threatened, why would he ever resort to such an apology?"
Teacher Zhu was a little surprised. "Jiang Tongxue went to Xu Junjie’s class to apologize?"
"That’s right," Counselor Ma replied. "This incident even alarmed the third-year teachers. They contacted me about it directly."
Although Teacher Zhu was still angry, she suggested, "Why don’t we call both students over and question them face-to-face? That would be the best way to clear this up."
"Fine."
And so, the teachers each summoned their respective students.
Jiang Sifan arrived quickly.
He looked at the two teachers and said respectfully, "Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhu."
Teacher Zhu frowned and asked, "Jiang Tongxue, you went to apologize to Xu Junjie today?"
"Yes, Teacher Zhu," Jiang Sifan explained. "If I didn’t, I don’t know if I could continue with my startup."
"What did he do to you? Wasn’t the matter between you two already over?" Teacher Zhu wondered.
Jiang Sifan replied, "It wasn’t. Yesterday, you asked him, and he said he didn’t open my classroom door. But the truth is, we check the doors and windows every time before we leave. Even if a window is left open, the door is always locked. But he adamantly denies it. I had no choice. If I didn’t apologize, I was worried he would do something even worse later."
Teacher Zhu fell silent after hearing this.
She decided to wait for Xu Junjie to arrive before making a decision.
Sure enough, Xu Junjie arrived.
Teacher Zhu immediately asked, "Jun Jie, tell me the truth. Did you open the door to Jiang Tongxue’s startup classroom yesterday?"
Of course, Xu Junjie wasn’t about to admit it. He adamantly denied it, "I really didn’t do it."
"Then do you dare to tell me the name of the internet cafe you went to yesterday? I’ll go ask the owner for the surveillance footage. If the footage shows you never left, then I’ll apologize to you again," Jiang Sifan replied.
At this, Xu Junjie began to stammer.
He still tried to act tough. "I... Why should I tell you the name of the internet cafe?"
At this point, the two teachers were no fools; they could tell with a single glance that Xu Junjie was lying.
Teacher Ma cleared his throat. "Xu Tongxue, as a third-year senior, when this first-year student came to submit his startup application, not only did you dismiss it, you threw the application form into the trash. You’ve never apologized for that, have you?"
Xu Junjie’s face reddened. "I... I didn’t do it on purpose."
"But whether it was on purpose or not, what you did was still wrong. And when you’re wrong, you need to own up to it. Am I right, Teacher Zhu?" Teacher Ma asked in return.
