Faced with the vice principal’s question, the teacher in charge sighed helplessly. “Sir, Su Yun sent the leave information directly to the class group chat. He was also the one who applied for leave on behalf of Xu Jiajia. After that, we tried to get in touch with them, but we couldn’t get through to them.”
“Fool!” The Vice Principal said unhappily, “The oral defense is related to the future of every student. We can’t be careless in such matters. Sometimes, these students might not realize the importance of the oral defense. As teachers, we had to tell them this clearly. If they have any difficulties, they can apply to the school. However, if they miss the oral defense, this will be a huge matter for your entire life!” As he spoke, the vice principal placed the pile of information in his hand aside. “Hurry up and transfer the information on Su Yun and Xu Jiajia to me. I’ll contact them personally!”
The teacher in charge quickly brought over two documents and placed them in front of the vice principal. The vice principal also casually picked up the landline phone in the office and dialed the number displayed in the documents. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”
He called three times in a row, and such a notification kept coming from the phone. This made the vice principal frown. “What’s wrong with Su Yun?”
With doubts, the vice principal focused his attention on Xu Jiajia’s information again. With an attitude of giving it a try, the vice-principal called Xu Jiajia. “Hello.” After a few rings, the call was picked up. However, the vice-principal quickly realized that Xu Jiajia’s voice seemed to be a little tearful.
“Is it Student Xu Jiajia? The oral defense is about to start. What happened to make you choose to give up at such an important time?”
The vice principal asked Xu Jiajia very patiently. His original intention was to persuade Xu Jiajia to change her mind. However, Xu Jiajia was in a very bad state. Even when she was on the phone, he could still hear some sobbing.
“Principal? Something happened to Su Yun, so I can’t participate in this graduation thesis defense. I’m in Munan City and can’t rush back.”
After saying this, Xu Jiajia hung up. She was concerned about Su Yun. How could she take the graduation thesis defense to heart?
“Xu…” The vice principal wanted to say something else, but the other party hung up. This made him put the phone back on the landline with a serious expression. Recalling what Xu Jiajia had said just now, especially when she mentioned Mu Nan City, the vice principal quickly revealed a surprised expression.
Not only were there teachers in charge in the office, but there were also a few members of the thesis committee. At this moment, they all looked up at the vice principal, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Something happened to this student called Su Yun in Munan City. Could it be the collapse that has been causing an uproar recently?”
The vice principal looked at the others in surprise and asked. Everyone was also confused and looked at each other.
“No, I have to call the rescue center in Munan City quickly. If there are really our students in the disaster area, as teachers, we have to bear this responsibility.” As the vice principal spoke, he checked the phone number of the rescue center in Munan City on the Internet. Then, he pressed the speaker and called.
“Munan City Rescue Center. How can I help you?”
The person on the phone sounded very anxious. It was obvious that the call from the rescue center in Munan City had not stopped for the past few days.
The vice-principal also knew this very well, so he did not delay at all and quickly expressed the purpose of his call.
“Hello, I’m the vice principal of Hibiscus City University. We have a student called Su Yun. He didn’t participate in the oral defense. I learned from his classmates that Su Yun might also be in Munan City, but I can’t contact her anymore, so I want to understand the situation with you.”
The vice principal only knew that after he finished speaking, there was suddenly no sound on the phone. However, he did not know that when the operator heard the name Su Yun, he quickly pressed down the microphone and looked up at the leader who had been sticking to the front line, Yang Shuo.
As the person-in-charge of the rescue center in Munan City, Yang Shuo had been in the rescue center for a day and night without leaving after such a huge incident.
He was planning the next search and rescue area in detail in front of the map. After preparing to confirm with Feng Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of the operation on the spot, he continued the next step of the search and rescue.
The operator beside him suddenly looked at him and said, “Sir, the vice-principal of Hibiscus City University called to ask about Su Yun.”
As the person in charge, Yang Shuo naturally knew about Su Yun. He did not know the details, but he roughly understood the situation. He knew the importance of Su Yun and had already alarmed the attention of various big shots.
However, the higher-ups had always kept this matter a secret. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Yang Shuo quickly left the office.
A moment later, Yang Shuo returned, but he was followed by the leader of Yunchuan Province, Gao Chuanbo.
Gao Chuanbo took the phone without a word and was the first to reveal his identity to the person on the phone.
“Hello, I’m the minister of Yunchuan Province. My surname is Gao.”
Hearing the person on the phone expose his identity, the vice principal was stunned on the spot..
