Chapter 69: The Way is helpless yet also helpful

  The four years of university flew by in a flash, but as the days drew to a close, they were counted on fingers. Those students weren't easy to mess with either, who knows when that silly kid would dare to beat you up, now he even suspected that Professor Guo Qishen's rotten affair was related to several students.

  However, he didn't have this worry and calmly knocked on the principal's office door. Every week, only at this time, Wang Ke Gong principal was signing reimbursement forms for his subordinates. He motioned for Guo Zhan Feng to sit down and after a while, he sent away his subordinates and looked at Guo Ke Chang. Guo Ke Chang immediately stood up and carefully placed the investigation results of two months' preparation on the principal's desk.

  Although it's late, it's better than nothing. Moreover, it's reasonable and detailed, much stronger than the half-baked proposal from the Dean of the Department of Education, Wang. Principal Wang glanced over it briefly, occasionally looking at this newly appointed department head, who has his roots in the school; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to win over the majority in a unit with so many employees.

  "Speak your mind." Principal Wang finished reading and slumped into his chair.

  At this time, Director Guo knew it was the leader's test of his discernment. He tidied up his thoughts and said in an orderly manner: "According to my investigation, it should be a premeditated incident. At the time of the incident, the security monitoring system captured several shots. One person wearing a hat carried a nude model upstairs, and there were surveillance cameras around the broadcasting room. At that time, something with a long handle dipped in paint was used to vandalize the place. Later, it was found to be oil paint. Although it was done very cleverly, we can narrow down the suspects through continuous monitoring of the activity area. We have already found several key people to investigate. I used to work in fire prevention, and investigating the source of a fire is easier than this... Based on these circumstances, it can be concluded that the organizer and planner commanded two or three people at the same time. They carried the nude model to pretend to jump off the building, expand the momentum, and cause a commotion; at the same time, they tampered with the campus broadcasting system, causing a bad influence. There is a key point here that is easy to grasp: whoever has this recording should be the organizer, or at least knows who the organizer is."

  Clear and logical, that name was on the tip of his tongue, but it was actually a very simple matter. Principal Wang smiled and spat out two words: "Dan Yong."

  "Also, take a look at the next video." Principal Wang said with a smile.

  He clicked the mouse, but it was a clip of the scene, the charm of Lu Zhou's opening ceremony, a young farmer blowing a suona against the backdrop of iron and steel flowers. Who that person is doesn't need to be said, leaving Guo Kezhang stunned. It seemed like this person he was concerned about appeared in every scene, good or bad, monopolizing everything.

  "Do you think it's just a coincidence?" Principal Wang asked.

  "Could it be..." Director Guo was stunned for a moment, and a flash of insight appeared, but the unspoken implication wasn't difficult to understand. Someone had deliberately protected this person. Let you hesitate to use your trump card.

  They are all mixed-race celebrities, you can't just look at their appearance, but also consider their background. For those who have been hyped up to be semi-public figures, they need to think about what kind of commotion they might stir up before making a move.

  "That's right, someone is backing him." Principal Wang smiled and flipped through the documents on his desk, pulling out a few to hand to Director Guo. Director Guo took a rough look and was impressed - commendation letters from the Town Education Committee and the Township Middle School; an invitation letter from the Charm of Luzhou Film Crew. As he read, Principal Wang said, "You might not know, but two days ago Professor Song was discharged from the hospital, and it was Old Zuo's niece, Zuo Xiying, and Single Yong who sent him back."

  "That... is the legend true?" Guo Ke jumped in fright, secretly relieved that he hadn't stirred up this hornet's nest.

  "Who can tell what's true and what's false? Since we didn't prevent it beforehand, investigating afterwards doesn't make much sense. Let's just drop it, one less thing is better than one more thing, and no trouble at all is the best. Besides, for the school's reputation, everything is a good thing now. Little Guo, do you know why you became the head of the school's security department?" Principal Wang suddenly asked.

  "That was President You who promoted me, I'm still grateful." Director Guo said humbly.

  "It's wrong, it's because you have deep roots in the Lu Institute, and many colleagues who are on the job or retired are your uncles, this is a good thing, but sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing. Some things you need to look at from a certain height, need to have a broad perspective, for example, Guo Ping lacks this point of patience, in fact, he doesn't need to be that way, if he's not given the opportunity, he can't stir up any waves, and no one can shake the logistics department."

  A class with many girls, a leader called two dormitories of girls to come and take a photo showing their legs, good guy, more than ten thighs swaying far away, making Lei Dapeng's jaw drop, what are you doing so early, who can still skip class in this state?

  Someone rushed to take the lead, Lei Dapeng searched for the boys in their class, pulling Si Muxian and Zhao Hui, the three of them squeezed together with Chen Fuli and Li Baochun, touching each other's chest, hugging each other's neck, and sticking their faces together, making a loud noise as they took a photo. Lei Dapeng shouted to the professional photographer: "Add some text! Class 2's group homoerotic photo!"

  Haha, just then, Ren Qun's class teacher shouted, and these few people had already gathered in front of the arranged chairs, squatting on the stools, preparing for the graduation photo. The class leader counted the number of people and whispered something to Wang Huating. Wang Huating glanced around and found that someone was missing, so she called out to Lei Dapeng: "Dapeng, where's Shanyong? He was notified, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

  "Hurry up, hurry up, we're on the road." Lei Dapeng was playing with the boy next to him, pushing people aside and pulling Xiao Mu Xian over, leaving a spot for himself and saying seriously: "You and Egg Brother stand on either side of me, contrasting with me, Lei Ge."

  Squeezing and waiting, many teachers came late, but Shanyu still hadn't arrived. Wang Huating made another phone call to urge him, saying he would be there soon. Just as they were waiting, their classmate Zhao Hui happened to glance in the direction of the stage and was shocked to the point of almost falling off his chair, exclaiming:

  "My god, Egg Brother is mighty!"

  Many of my classmates looked at each other, all leaning in... a big pile of leaning words with vertical middle fingers, envying and jealous, Lei Dapeng was also surprised, covering his mouth, just about to whistle, but unexpectedly someone covered it, struggling to open his eyes and scolding Simu Xian: "Why cover my mouth?"

  "Lei Ge, don't whistle, and don't spit saliva on the teacher's body, okay?" Si Mu Xian was prepared to suffer from it.

  The words had just fallen when a sharp whistle sounded, and many other classes also followed with cheers: Egg Brother, Egg Brother, Egg Brother...

  Egg brother, what's going on here? Nothing, just pulling out a broken electric bike, with Zuo Xiying sitting in the back, smiling and taking graduation photos. Suddenly, someone changed the cheering slogan to "Egg sister, egg sister, egg sister..." The whole scene was in an uproar, it was so lively! Director Wang and Teacher Ren looked at each other, exchanging helpless smiles.

  "Dapeng." A soft call, Lei Dapeng responded with a sound, but saw that Wang Huating had appeared at his side at some unknown time, her expression equally desolate. Startled, Lei Dapeng asked concernedly: "What's wrong? Your face looks so terrible?"

  "Not really." Wang Huating sat down, glanced at Lei Dapeng's concerned eyes, and was slightly moved. She forced a smile and said, "Before I knew it, graduation arrived, and I'm actually a bit reluctant to leave school."

  "Actually, I used to wish that the school would burn down, but now that it's time to graduate, I'm feeling reluctant to leave. Do you know why?" Lei Dapeng said, expressing his simple and sincere thoughts. Wang Huating smiled and said, "It's because the carefree life is about to end. In school, except for exams, everything else is not a burden, but once we're out of here, maybe everything will become a burden."

  "That's right, I'm so bored to death. It's not interesting." Lei Dapeng said with a pout, looking at the deserted Wang Huating, but was somewhat puzzled, and asked directly: "What's wrong, Branch Secretary? Did you have a falling out with the Class Leader?"

  Wang Hua Ting laughed, probably thinking that she would be taken as the standard template for graduation separation by Lei, shaking her head and saying: "It hasn't even started yet, what's there to break up...oh right, tomorrow our classmates from other cities are going back home, come with me to see them off?"

  "En, must drip, must come." Lei Dapeng nodded.

  Wang Hua Ting got up, smiled and said thank you. That lonely look made Lei Ge feel heartbroken. It's not just about sending a classmate off, it's like risking one's life to come here, right!?

  …………

  Shan Yong and Zuo Xiying came out of Professor Song's house when the sky was already dark.

  Professor Song was fortunate to have no lingering symptoms after his discharge from the hospital. His daughter and son-in-law came back from afar to take care of him for a while, and they invited Single Courage and Zuo Xiying to stay for dinner. The home-cooked dishes were naturally not impressive to Single Courage's discerning palate, but the warmth and closeness of the family gathering moved him deeply. Zuo Xiying suddenly spoke up, saying something she didn't want to say, and immediately regretted it. As expected, Single Courage responded with a murmur, walking slowly, while Zuo Xiying seemed hesitant, lightly and cautiously leaning her face against Single Courage's sturdy back. The foodie felt it, and his body trembled noticeably.

  Zuo Xiying smiled secretly, having gone out to play together for so many days, except for holding hands there had been no other intimate behavior. But she didn't know if this one intimate behavior would make him toss and turn with anxiety again all night. However, when leaning against him, she felt that his back was very sturdy, which instead gave her a feeling of fondness.

  After walking a long way, Xiying asked softly: "I'm leaving, will you miss me?"

  "Uh, of course." said Shan Yong.

  "So I won't be going back to Luoyang then, what will you do?" Zuo Xiying asked again.

  "I'll earn some money and go see you then," said Dan Yong.

  "How much did you earn?" Zuo Xiying asked again.

  "Make a few million and then go, can't still ride an electric bike to pull you there." Dan Yong said with a smile.

  At this moment, Shuang Yong turned back, pointing at the hotel with a confident expression: "Shi Jie, actually I have a big dream that nobody knows about."

  "Are you opening such a large hotel?" Zuo Xiying was clever and guessed it immediately.

  "Almost, this is the first one. This was the original site of Bai Lu Yuan Hotel." Zhanyong pointed and added, "I must take back this one, then open another ten or eight hotels of the same scale."

  "What's next?" Zuo Xiying asked with interest.

  "Then you came to Luchow and we thought of eating at that house." Zhanyong said seriously.

  Zuo Xiying covered her mouth and smiled lightly, nodding in agreement. This only fueled Dan Yong's enthusiasm even more. On the way back to the hotel with Zuo Xiying, he boasted again about his grand ambitions, which naturally included becoming a great foodie. A great foodie couldn't just be a master chef, but had to be a master of eating as well. Although Zuo Xiying knew that Dan Yong's financial situation might not allow him to eat at high-end hotels for many meals, it didn't stop her from accompanying him in creating a great food empire.

  The road was long, the laughter was much, but the words were few. After a long detour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Kayla Hotel. As soon as Xie Ying got out of the car and adjusted her emotions, she wanted to comfort him with a word, but unexpectedly, Shan Yong asked: "What time tomorrow?"

  "Ten o'clock in the morning... will you come see me off?"

  Zuo Xiying asked, at this moment there was an urge to hug each other, but unexpectedly it seemed that looking at Dan Yong did not have that passion. He just smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you, Master Sister."

  "Thank me? Why?" Zuo Xiying was taken aback.

  "Thanks for all that you've done for me..." Dan Yong said, looking at Zuo Xiying who was still in a daze, reminding her: "I know there's someone behind my back pushing me forward, whether it's being on TV as a volunteer teacher, or being invited to participate in the 'Charming Liuzhou' production team, and even the letter of commendation from the Education Committee... thanks to you, I thought that when I returned to school there would be some trouble, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the most peaceful and happiest period of my four years in university."

  Xu He heard this and was taken aback, furrowing his brow for a long time. This suddenly dispelled the sadness of parting, so he simply went along with it and asked: "Have you thought about it? Maybe I can help with more than that."

  This sentence has been suppressed for a long time, if it is said that the first meeting was because of liking, then after knowing the identity, Zuo Xiying also wanted to know, when two people meet, what is the purity of their emotions.

  Shaking his head, Dan Yong said confidently: "No need, I'm a person who would rather hate myself than look down on myself."

  Zuo Xiying suddenly smiled, her hand stroking over Shan Yong's shoulder, but it was a natural movement to wrap around Shan Yong's neck, as if she wanted to kiss him passionately. However, unexpectedly, she just pulled back and only made another intimate gesture. Then, with a sly smile, she said: "You've already missed the best opportunity, don't regret it later."

  "I won't," said Dan Yong with a smile.

  When their eyes met, the person who had been on his mind day and night was right in front of him. Shan Yong couldn't tell if it was just a casual conversation or if there were other underlying meanings, but he still had that admiring and adoring gaze. Zuo Xiying, on the other hand, seemed to be trying hard to hold back her emotions, slowly turning around and quickening her pace as she walked towards the hotel. Her long hair fluttered behind her, and it seemed like she was wiping away tears, but it turned into a gesture of tucking her hair behind her ear instead. Shan Yong watched for a while, then touched his own neck, where his sister had just hugged him.

  Seemed to smell a faint scent of fragrance, with the disappearance of Shifu's figure, lightly drifted away...
