The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1248: Yun Rui's sincerity: Settlement of accounts later

Lin Xu stood on the roof of the teaching building, with rain pouring down along the ribs of the umbrella.

The lights of the Chemistry Building in the distance flickered in the rain and fog, just like his flickering dreams.

When Li Wen called him with a tearful voice, he looked at the lightning that streaked across the night sky and whispered, "Tell them to put the project materials in the library locker. I will give you a solution, but I won't go back."

I don't know when the rain stopped, the darkness before dawn is the thickest. Gu Yunxi stood at the school gate, looking at the plaque of "Xiangnan University", and remembered the self who had to compromise before.

A new message popped up on the phone, which was an improvement plan document sent by Lin Xu.

The cold light of the screen flickered on Gu Yunxi's face, and the improvement plan document sent by Lin Xu lay quietly in the dialog box.

Her fingertips hovered above the screen, but she was hesitant to click it. Her eyes looked towards the teaching building, where the lights looked particularly dim in the morning mist.

The laboratory at this moment must be shrouded in gloom and sadness.

In the principal's office, a storm was brewing. The director of the school office threw a thick stack of project failure reports on the table, causing ripples in the Longjing teacup.

"Zhou Zhengming is still refusing to leave the lab?" The principal took off his glasses and rubbed his brows. "Notify the security department to clear the lab! The project is stalled and the seminar is cancelled. Does he think he can save the school's reputation by himself?"

The autumn wind outside the window blew up the dead leaves, which hit the glass, making a rustling sound, as if it was also sighing for this farce.

When the security department broke into the laboratory, Zhou Zhengming was staring at the draft book left by Lin Xu. His white coat was wrinkled, his tie was hanging crookedly around his neck, and his glasses were covered with a layer of gray fog.

"You can't do this! I've given so much to the school..."

His voice was hoarse and trembling, but was interrupted by the security chief's cold gesture.

Li Wen and Wang Lei just watched quietly as Zhou Zhengming went from being high-spirited to replace Gu Yunxi to being abandoned like a worn-out shoe. In just a few days, his mood changed from great joy to great sorrow in an instant...

At the same time, a carefully arranged dinner party was taking place in the most prestigious "Songjian Pavilion" box of Hunan University.

The school leaders sat around a round rosewood table. The Longjing shrimps on the table were steaming, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Gu Yunqian turned the celadon teacup in his hand, his eyes swept across everyone's tense faces, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Gu..." The president was the first to break the silence and personally poured tea for Gu Yunqian. "Regarding the matter of reinstating Professor Gu, we have also conducted a real-time evaluation. This provincial seminar will not be held. Xiangtan University cannot afford to lose another talent."

His tone was extremely low, completely different from his usual majestic demeanor at faculty meetings.

Gu Yunqian picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea flowed through his throat, bringing just the right amount of sweetness. "Principal Wang, where did you get that from?"

He put down the teacup slowly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup.

"When Yunxi was suspended, the school's swift and decisive response chilled the hearts of many people."

Gu Yunqian's voice was very soft, but it instantly froze the atmosphere in the box.

The wind whistled outside the window, causing the shadows of the bamboo to sway on the carved window frames, as if they were also holding their breath for this conversation.

The vice president quickly tried to smooth things over: "At the time, it was forced by the situation and the pressure from public opinion was too great. Besides, suspending Professor Gu was also to better protect her..."

"Public opinion?" Gu Yunqian raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife. "My sister devoted herself to scientific research, but was suspended for a trumped-up crime. Now that the project has failed, you think of her again?"

The principal lowered his head with cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to breathe!

Gu Yunqian picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of crystal clear braised pork. "This piece of meat looks shiny, but if it gets cold, it won't have that fresh taste even if you heat it up."

The box fell into silence, with only the slight hum of the air conditioner outside the unit.

The principal's back was already soaked with cold sweat. He thought of the influence of the Gu Group in the field of education and the fear of Gu Yunqian by the bigwigs on the board of directors.

"We were inconsiderate this time," the dean spoke first, but his voice was obviously trembling, "As long as Professor Gu is willing to come back, we will give him the lab and project funding!"

Gu Yunqian put down his chopsticks, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, his movements were elegant and calm. "Principal Wang." His eyes swept across the pale faces of everyone, "Do you think I'm so easy to fool? If it weren't for the fact that Zhou was such a hopeless case, you probably wouldn't want to treat me to this meal, right?"

"I..." Faced with Gu Yunqian's questioning, the principal wanted to say something but felt stuck in his throat. But how could he make up for it now that things had come to this?

"Mr. Gu, I promise you there won't be a next time. Tell me what you want me to do to show my sincerity, and I'll arrange it right away!"

Gu Yunqian leisurely turned the plate and elegantly picked up a piece of shrimp and put it into his bowl, chewing it slowly until the fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks.

But the more he kept silent, the more uncomfortable the principal felt!

The people around looked at each other, and no one dared to jump out to break the deadlock!

The principal winked at several people, but everyone tacitly chose to turn a blind eye!

The principal raised the full wine cup with trembling hands, then tremblingly and humbly said a few words of apology to Gu Yunqian.

The aroma of the liquor took advantage of the opportunity to penetrate into the principal's nasal cavity. Thinking of the intense burning sensation that would spread through his throat in a moment, his salivary glands were stimulated and began to secrete saliva continuously!

Gu Yunqian remained unhurried, occasionally glancing at the "clown" on the side, until he lost his patience and began to glance at the principal who was slow to take the next step!

The principal swallowed his saliva. He could clearly feel that everyone at the table was watching his every move. He was afraid that he would really lose face after this dinner!

As he thought about it, the principal's face was filled with bitterness and hatred. He looked as if he was ready to die. Under the gaze of everyone, he raised his hands and closed his eyes. The strong alcohol kept stimulating his taste buds, and the burning feeling filled all his senses, from his internal organs to his limbs.

In an instant, his face was covered with clouds of fire...

"Mr. Gu... please say a few good words for Professor Gu on behalf of the school!" The principal forced himself to stay sober while showing the empty wine dispenser to the person in front of him.

Gu Yunqian's expression finally eased, and he even quickly stepped forward to lend a hand when the principal was about to collapse!

The principal held Gu Yunqian's hand tightly, forcing himself to regain a trace of clarity from his chaotic consciousness. After his Adam's apple twitched several times, he finally vented all his emotions!

"We have properly dealt with Professor Zhou's problem. After Professor Gu returns, he will have the greatest say and autonomy. In the future, all kinds of school projects will be led by Professor Gu. Mr. Gu..."

The principal couldn't hold on before he could finish his words. Gu Yunqian took a deep breath and helped him to the chair while the others still sat in their seats and asked, "Ru Lao Gou!"

For a moment I couldn't tell who they were...

He stood up and straightened his suit, "I will advise Yunxi, but this will not happen again." After that, he strode away, leaving behind a table full of cold delicacies, the principal who was vomiting and his "fake" teammates.

As the night deepened, Gu Yunqian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright lights of the city.

The phone screen lit up, and it was a message from Gu Yunxi: "The plan is perfect, he thought the same as I did."

The corners of his mouth raised in a relieved smile.

This reckoning has just begun...
