Chapter 8: The aloof Yujie also eats tender grass.
Principal Ma Jinze walked with his hands behind his back under the streetlights of the path, and the yellow-toned streetlights cast mottled shadows.
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department followed behind him.
A small cat darted past, then turned back to look at Ma Jinze, meowing twice.
Ma Jinze said, “The landscaping is quite good. From the fact that this little cat isn’t afraid of people, it can be seen that our education is very inclusive. This is excellent. While academics are important, students’ mindsets and attitudes towards society are even more crucial. We should pay more attention to students’ ideological growth.”
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department immediately said, “It’s all thanks to Principal Ma’s excellent guidance.”
Ma Jinze smiled slightly, feeling very pleased!
“Su Manyao! I love you!”
Under the tranquil night, a sudden roar erupted!
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department’s face changed drastically!
“What’s going on?” Principal Ma Jinze asked.
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department felt his scalp tingle. Which idiot is pulling this stunt?
“Principal Ma, please rest assured, I’ll go deal with him right away and drag him out!”
Ma Jinze waved his hand, “That’s where you’re wrong. Why drag him out? This is the nature of youth, proving the openness of our school. It’s pretty good!”
Ma Jinze naturally knew Su Manyao. The Su Family was a significant benefactor of Modu University, and with Su Manyao’s figure, looks, and temperament, wasn’t it normal for students to shout a few words to express their feelings?
If he were two years younger, he would also want to shout a few lines.
But as soon as this thought emerged, the dormitory building not far away plunged into madness within a few seconds.
Voices rose and fell, roaring!
Ma Jinze was stunned, his face changing repeatedly.
He was wondering if he had spoken a little too quickly just now…
If he were given another chance, he would want to say, “Grab that brat for me and give him a good education!”
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department also stood frozen, looking at the back of the Principal’s head, speechless for a moment.
The law does not punish a crowd. One student’s problem is a student’s problem, but a group of students’ problem is no longer a student’s problem, but his problem…
The Principal turned around, frowned, and asked, “This situation is a bit unusual. Has something happened?”
As the Principal of Modu University, a top-ranked university in the country, he was naturally not a fool. He quickly grasped the core logic beyond the surface of the problem.
The Dean of Students said in a hushed voice, “Today, Teacher Su went to the movies with her boyfriend, and someone took photos and posted them on the school forum.”
“Teacher Su has a boyfriend?” The Principal looked surprised. “Come! Open the forum and let me see.”
The Dean of Students looked at the Principal’s gossiping expression, feeling a bit speechless… You’re not much better than those gossipers on the forum…
But he didn’t dare to say more, and immediately took out his phone.
The Principal’s curiosity for gossip surged, and he scrolled through his phone!
But before he scrolled two pages, his face changed!
“Quick, quick, this thread is going off-topic! Quickly contact the administration to delete the post!”
“Completely control all topics about Teacher Su for the next few days!”
Principal Ma Jinze gave the order on the spot!
The Su Family was a major benefactor of Modu University, having donated a lot of money and teaching buildings, and also sponsoring many impoverished students at Modu University through their charity foundation every year.
Regardless of the purpose, these were immeasurable acts of merit. Under such circumstances, if Su Family’s daughter were still made to suffer grievances at Modu University, then it would be truly damnable, and his conscience would not be able to bear it.
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department immediately responded, picking up his phone to contact people.
The posts hadn’t been deleted before because on Modu University’s forum, as long as a topic didn’t cross a red line, even if it cursed the Principal as a bungler, it wouldn’t be deleted or subjected to unfair treatment.
So, if it weren’t for the Principal’s order at this moment, the posts about Su Manyao would not have exceeded the forum’s prohibited topic limits.
…
A hillside villa in a certain part of Modu City! At this moment, it was brightly lit and bustling with people, but from the attire of the people coming and going in the yard, it could be seen that they were not guests or owners of the villa, but rather private servants and staff of the villa.
To own an independent hillside villa in Modu, not even in the suburbs, this one condition alone showed that this was no ordinary family.
That’s right, this was the home of Su Manyao’s parents. Her Father was a real estate tycoon, and her Mother was a professional socialite, whose main occupation was enjoying life and secondary occupation was investment and financial management.
At this time, Su Manyao’s Father, Su Bancheng, and her Mother, Wang Lin, were dining.
Under the luxurious crystal chandelier, the graceful Wang Lin picked up a piece of vegetable for her husband. Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was a call from one of her best friends.
“Hello, Rongrong, what’s up?”
“What?!”
“My Manyao is in love?!”
“Okay, okay, send it to me!”
…
Sitting next to her, eating, Su Bancheng, who was unmatched in the business world, almost dropped his chopsticks on the table. He quickly caught them, his eyes on his wife, carefully not making a sound, afraid of interrupting his wife’s call.
“Oh!”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Lin clenched her fists, revealing a joyful expression like a little girl!
“Husband, Manyao is in love!”
“I heard it all. What’s the situation now, did she say who it is?” Su Bancheng asked somewhat eagerly.
“I don’t know yet. Rongrong said she’d send me photos!”
Beep beep beep!
As soon as she finished speaking, the photos were sent.
It was a screenshot from the forum!
The couple put their heads together, their gazes fixed on the images.
They completely ignored the comments, first seeing the candid photo.
The girl in the photo was indeed their daughter, Su Manyao.
But the Male Lead’s face was not visible.
“This…”
Then the two began to check the comments. After all, they were people who had been in the business world, and they had seen various public opinion wars and media topic guidance, so they didn’t care whether the comments were good or bad.
Moreover, they believed that Modu University would certainly provide an acceptable solution.
However, from beginning to end, they did not see any definite information about the Male Lead.
The two could only turn their attention back to the photo.
“How do I see this physique, this attire, like a university student?”
Su Bancheng frowned at the photo, saying with uncertainty.
Wang Lin bit her lip, looking at the photo, and also fell silent.
Because from the photo, indeed, no matter how they looked at it, he looked like a university student.
University students are only eighteen to early twenties, but their daughter Su Manyao was already twenty-eight!
After a while, Wang Lin said with less confidence, “As long as she’s in love, it’s a good thing. My daughter is beautiful! It’s not like she’s harming that young man…”
Su Bancheng looked at the photo blankly, not speaking. What could he say? He couldn’t possibly say his daughter was an old cow eating tender grass, could he…
“Why don’t you call Manyao and ask her what’s going on, and find out who the man is.”
Wang Lin said, “Let’s not, it’s just starting to bud, don’t scare her.”
Su Bancheng thought she had a point, but added, “When will you ask her to come back for dinner, to sound her out?”
“Okay, tonight is sensitive, I’ll call Manyao tomorrow!”
