He Zhilan nodded, but she didn’t think so in her heart. Gu En is the daughter of the Gu family. Who in this school doesn’t know about her extraordinary identity? Let alone that Gu En always leaves no trace when she acts, even if there were evidence, would the director of Academic Affairs dare to single her out?
The Academic Affairs office was quite a distance from He Zhilan’s dormitory. Following the instructor, it took her quite a while to get there. However, by the time she arrived, there was someone else in the office - Tan Heqian.
"Director, this is He Zhilan," the instructor brought He Zhilan inside and then stepped off to the side.
The director of Academic Affairs raised his gaze to look at He Zhilan, then rapped his hand on the table. His voice bore some anger, "He Zhilan, do you know what these are? These are all the slanderous leaflets about you that our teachers ripped down from around the school today! Look at the content, do you realize how bad this is for the school? And how much of an impact it has on you?"
"Director, this has nothing to do with He Zhilan, she didn’t post the leaflets herself! Who would be so bored as to tarnish their own reputation and flaunt it all over the school?" Tan Heqian was the first to speak up for He Zhilan.
"Tan Heqian, don’t interrupt when the director hasn’t asked you a question. Do you think the director wouldn’t know what you’re saying?" The instructor gave Tan Heqian a look, hinting at him not to cause more trouble for He Zhilan.
"I’m talking about the content! What’s the deal? He Zhilan, you’ve been rather conspicuous in the school recently? First, Liao Qinghong wanted to jump off a building saying you stole her boyfriend, and then several people say you’re dating Tan Heqian? Now these slanderous leaflets and even the graduate student Zhou Hongjin is involved! If you can’t provide a clear explanation, you can quit attending this school!"
"Director, the person who posted the slanderous leaflets obviously wanted to throw dirt on me and therefore dared to say anything. Regarding the incident where Sister Liao wanted to jump off a building, everyone present at that time knows that it did not really involve me. What happened between Miss Liao and her boyfriend was none of my business, and Sister Liao was provoked into jumping off the building by her boyfriend. Moreover, Sister Liao’s boyfriend is now engaged, and I also know his fiancée. On this matter, Senior Zhou can testify that I have no involvement in it whatsoever with Sister Liao. As for Senior Zhou, my relationship with him is simply that of a junior and a senior. At most, I can say that Senior Zhou and I are good friends. But, implicating me with the clerk from the Teachers College is even more ridiculous! Just by having seen each other, I get mixed up in the matter? This clerk’s ex-fiancée is a good friend of the current fiancée of Sister Liao’s ex-boyfriend. Director, if you don’t believe me, I can try to bring her to the school to clarify things. Their affairs have nothing to do with me."
He Zhilan didn’t believe, after giving such a clear explanation, the director would actually ask her to call Chen Shan, the Teacher’s College’s clerk’s ex-fiancée.
Sure enough, He Zhilan’s explanation was forthright, without any hint of evasion. Her honest demeanor slightly eased the director’s expression, but it only soothed it, he then turned to look at Tan Heqian and said, "You are both aware of the school’s rule prohibiting romantic relationships during school hours, aren’t you? So what’s the deal between you, He Zhilan, and Tan Heqian? More than one teacher at the school has spotted the two of you alone together recently." Pausing for a moment, the director continued, "And with intimate and affectionate behavior."
