Sheng Jianan was very adept at concealing his emotions. Although he lingered on the page of Tang Yanqi for two more seconds, it was just two seconds, quick enough to be unnoticeable.
He flipped through the pages casually, and upon seeing the page of Yang Yixiang, Sheng Jianan let out a dismissive snort. He hadn’t made a sound until then, and this sudden action made the hairs on everyone’s arms in the principal’s office stand on end.
Before Principal Guo could say anything, Secretary Yang couldn’t help but speak up, "Mr. Sheng, is there a problem?"
Sheng Jianan curled his lips faintly, the authority belonging to him was evident in his light tone: "Can such a person be considered an outstanding student of K University? I need to reconsider if your school’s people are qualified to enter Shengshi."
This remark was like a bombshell, instantly making Principal Guo tense up all over. He hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the page Sheng Jianan was currently on, "Mr. Sheng, do you know this student? He is the top student in the music department and has performed excellently since entering the school, you...?"
Sheng Jianan closed the roster in his hand and leaned back against the chair lazily and indifferently, "No matter how good the grades are, if the character is bad, they’re just scum."
Sheng Jianan’s tone was very mild, but his words were utterly ruthless. Principal Guo felt a bit embarrassed, after all, it’s a K University student, and Secretary Yang couldn’t hold his face either since Yang Yixiang was related to him. How could he be talked about like that?
He had just started to speak a word when Principal Guo hurriedly interjected, "Mr. Sheng, is there possibly some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? Yesterday, passing by your school on an errand, I accidentally saw your great talent deliberately throw a basketball at a girl. Unless my eyes were wrong, maybe this person has a twin brother?"
"Mr. Sheng, that might just be..."
Secretary Yang still wanted to argue something, but Sheng Jianan’s deep dark eyes swept over without a trace of warmth, his mouth holding a cold smile, "Do you think I saw it wrong?"
Even if Secretary Yang was stupid, he knew that Sheng Jianan was not someone he could question. Principal Guo hurriedly tried to mediate, but internally he understood something; Sheng Jianan had most likely come today to settle the scores for past grievances.
However, Sheng Jianan did not make it apparent, clearly not wanting others to know. Getting to the position of the principal of K University relied on sharp vision and precise intuition. Sheng Jianan could not be offended; the delicate balance couldn’t be disturbed.
Principal Guo said seriously, "Mr. Sheng’s eyesight naturally won’t be wrong. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Mr. Sheng, please rest assured."
There are surveillance cameras at the gate of K University, making it extremely easy to investigate. As soon as Sheng Jianan left K University, within two hours, a disciplinary notice issued by the principal’s office had spread throughout K University.
The words on it were sharp. The issue was nothing more than Yang Yixiang hitting a girl with a basketball, but in the disciplinary notice, the severity of the incident was elevated to bullying classmates by exploiting one’s advantage in numbers, behavior contradicting K University’s educational principles, etc.
No matter how minor the incident, as long as someone wants to blow it up or make it into a big deal, it becomes a significant issue.
Yang Yixiang’s scholarship was revoked, the opportunity previously confirmed for school-funded overseas study after graduation was also canceled, and he was deducted three credits. Fortunately, Yang Yixiang’s grades were consistently good, so although the three-credit deduction looked bad, it was not enough to prevent his graduation.
