The Zhou family did dig up mud, because Old Man Zhou came from an agricultural institute. Because digging up mud brought out some insights, they received praise from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and started to rise through the ranks, constantly promoting those around them, and thus owning such a solid position today.

  His father's position was due to his promotion, and his mother was able to enter Z University as a professor smoothly also because of his promotion.

  The entire power network of the Zhou family, after all, was dug out by Old Man Zhou from mud.

  It's precisely because of their humble origins that they now need to hold their heads high and thoroughly eliminate those rustic and inferior airs.

  "Gu Qinqin, don't think that just because you've joined the research team at Huake Institute, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you honestly, the Zhou family has connections with the academicians of Huake Institute. Even if you were lucky enough to become a researcher at Huake Institute, one careless word from an academician could ruin your future completely!"

  Gu Qingqing's emotions didn't fluctuate at all: "Which academician are you talking about?"

  Zhou Mu sneered: "With your insight, you wouldn't even recognize him! However, if you just want to verify it, I can tell you that he is indeed Academician Qin Zhen!"

  Gu Qingqing nodded silently: "Him? I still know him..."

  Zhou Mu was really amused, "You wouldn't be thinking of saying you have a relationship with him and asking him to take care of the Zhou family's mess?"

  "En, you guessed it."

  Mother Zhou: ……

  This is utterly speechless!

  "Principal!" Turning around, Zhou Mu threw this smelly stone at Gu Qingqing.

  Zhang Qingyuan was extremely depressed, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no gate to hell but you insist on rushing in!

  "Gu Qiangqiang, if you don't cooperate, I'll have no choice but to fire you!"

  "Dismissal is possible, show me the evidence."

  Grass!

  A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

  "Director Pan, bring over all those who beat up Zhou Yang!"

  He's so narrow-minded, he doesn't believe others will be narrow-minded too. As long as one person admits it was Gu Qiangqiang who instigated it, the matter is settled!

  Zhou Mu and the principal both stared at Gu Qing fiercely, but Gu Qing ignored them and took out her phone to send a message to Qin, the old rascal from the Physics Department: 【The dog you raised is biting people outside, are you going to control it or not?】

  Huawei University

  Qin Zhen found a secluded corner where no one was around, pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep drag, feeling refreshed all over his body.

  Gu Qingqing's message popped up at this time. Qin Zhen was surprised and delighted, but after reading the information, he was a bit confused.

  What's this?

  They don't have dogs at home, his wife is allergic to dog hair.

  The first article was just finished reading, and the second one jumped out, Xiao Zu Zong seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about him today.

  "If you don't care, I'll tell your mother-in-law that you smoke!"

  Qin Zhen's hand trembled and he quickly extinguished his cigarette. "Baby, which dog are you talking about?"

  Soon, more than a dozen people, including Chu Wei, Zhou Tong, Zhu Ping and Mu Yu Yang, were summoned to the principal's office.

  Mu Yu Yang saw her own cubs and couldn't help but rush over: "Are they bullying you again?"

  Gu Qingqing's small face nodded coldly: "Uh-huh."

  Muyu Yang grasped her small paw: "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you!"

  Gu Qingqing clearly felt the sweat on his palm and the overly tense muscles.

  All of her "micro-expressions" indicated that this cheap brother was afraid, but he still stood in front of her without hesitation!

  Zhang Qingyuan didn't even bother to pay attention to this idiot, with his hands behind his back and an imposing aura: "You gang up on Zhou Yang, your behavior is despicable! Now, as long as you admit that it was Gu Qinger who instigated it, the school will let bygones be bygones!"

  Everyone: ……

  They felt that the principal, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, had farted and it smelled quite bad.

  Chu Wei had expected this situation and raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction: "If we don't admit it, how can the school be blamed?"

  "Lightly, you'll be put on file, heavily, you'll be expelled! Either way, it will follow your records for the rest of your lives! From now on, whether you're in school or at work, you'll be restricted. Have you all thought this through?"

  Finally, his eyes landed on a student named Xiong Qi.

  He must have investigated these students before making a move. Others were either rich second-generation kids like Chu Wei and Zhou Tong, or stubbornly strong-willed like Mu Yu Yang and Zhu Ping, making it difficult to deal with any of them. Only this Xiong Qi, who usually followed Zhou Tong's crowd, had an average family background and was not very smart. If he were expelled from No. 1 Middle School, there wouldn't even be a school willing to take him in. To say that his future would be completely ruined wasn't an exaggeration at all.

  "Xiong Qi, you say it!"

  Xiong Qi instinctively became flustered and hadn't expected the principal to find him as a breakthrough.

  "Principal, I...I..."

  He clearly felt the cold gaze shot over by Zhou Tong and others.

  "Don't be afraid, the principal is here, no one dares to bully you!"

  Zhang Qingyuan suddenly became gentle and soft-spoken.

  Xiong Qi gritted her teeth, "It was Gu Qiang who instigated us to beat up Zhou Yang."

  His voice was low and inaudible.

  "Speak louder!"

  Xiong Qi raised his neck: "We beat Zhou Yang, it's all Gu Qing's provocation! Don't interfere with my business!"

  Zhou Tong almost kicked him, but was pulled back by Chu Wei. If they fought in front of the principal, it would only confirm their school violence.

  Zhou Tong didn't expect the first traitor to appear in his own class, and his heart was about to jump out of anger.

  "Xiong Qi, don't you have any shame? The message was sent to the group by me, whoever wants to come can come, who the hell provoked you?! Are you still a man or not?"

  Chu Wei pulled Zhou Tong, shook his head, and Zhou Tong looked at others. Due to righteous indignation, many people would act impulsively, but as for taking responsibility, not everyone could be held accountable for their actions at this immature age.

  Yes, Zhou Tong saw more or less hesitation in other people's eyes.

  That's the power of authority.

  So, Gu Qingqing would never be happy because of others' praise for herself. Some likes and so-called emotional connections are very cheap and can't withstand any test.

  She also gave Xiong Qi a faint glance, her eyes calm and unruffled.

  Zhang Qingyuan and Mother Zhou were both extremely satisfied.

  "Matters have been made clear, considering you are still young and were instigated by others. This time, it's a minor punishment with a major warning. Each of you will write a 1,000-word self-criticism. The matter will be settled like this."

  Zhang Qingyuan put on a benevolent expression, hoping that these delinquents would turn over a new leaf.

  "Are you going to fire Gu Qingqing again? Then fire me too!"

  The Mo family's 25-year-old young master, with his noble and proud head held high, uses himself as a hostage!

  Even Director Pan is annoyed. You foolish child, don't you know how many people you've dragged down? Others can be forgiven, but with a school like this, it's better to expel you sooner rather than later.

  He himself ran into the muzzle of a gun, and Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help him!

  "Alright! Then you can also withdraw from school and take your things with you. I'll let it slide this time for the sake of the Mu family's reputation, and you can still transfer to another school normally!"

  The real Mo family is Mo Xueqing, and the waste materials on this side are really disdainful! Moreover, I heard that Mo Jing Shan has already been divided out, so they have even less scruples.

  Muyang felt he was being severely underestimated.

  Is that it?

  Letting me go would be a huge loss for you! Won't you try to persuade me to stay?

  Holding Gu Qinqin's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, little sister, big brother is with you!"

  Gu Qingqing looked at his pale face and trembling hands, "Mm, I'm not afraid."

  "Expel me too."

  "Turn right and wrong upside down, confuse black and white. I don't want to stay in such a school either! Expel me too!"

  "Me too!"

  "Me too!"

  ……

  Perhaps it was Chu Wei and Zhou Tong's determination that ignited the passion of the young men, as more than a dozen voices rose up in succession. The vice principal and Director Pan looked refreshed and invigorated!

  Zhang Qingyuan and Zhou Mu's eyebrows jumped straight up, except for Xiong Qi, almost everyone else had expressed their opinions. Zhang Qingyuan accurately locked onto Zhu Ping who was still hesitating, as if grasping a lifeline.

  When everyone is leaning towards Gu Qingqing, a Xiong Qi who can't persuade anyone is already good enough to pull one more person over.

  "Zhu Ping, how's your mother's health? Your grades are not bad, she should hope you can get into a good university and make something of yourself. You can't disappoint her expectations!"

  This is absolutely Zhu Ping's Achilles' heel.

  Zhu's family is not clean, he worked so hard in high school just to whitewash himself, if he gets tainted again, the road ahead will be a hundred times more difficult.

  "Principal, you misunderstood. I hit Zhou Yang with a true heart..."

  What?

  Can you get your language skills together before coming here?

  "I'm not taking orders from anyone! If you're going to expel Zhou Yang for fighting, then expel me too!"

  He glanced sideways at Gu Qinqin, actually not wanting Little Hoodlum to think he had been won over by her!

  His brother is still working on 53!

  How can he be convinced?

  Damn it!

  This time I've really met a tough nut!

  How were these people brainwashed by a country bumpkin?

  But in just a few months, how did China become like this?

  Zhang Qingyuan suddenly felt a sense of disillusionment with life.

  Zhou's mother was also very indignant, but she wouldn't give up like this. "Principal Zhang, the position at the Provincial Education Bureau..."

  Zhang Qingyuan's mind moved and the vice president hastily came forward to whisper, "Principal, if so many students drop out at once, what will you say when the higher-ups investigate?"

  This is absolutely a serious educational accident!

  Your principal position can't even be kept, what's the point of talking about promotion?

  Cold sweat dripped down, and Zhang Qingyuan encountered such a tricky thing for the first time.

  This is really a careless move, losing everything!

  Just then, a phone call came in: The Qin family has arrived...
