After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

The gaze in his eyes held a measure of the scrutiny a senior gives a junior.

Director Ma had reached this point because he was astute and had caught the look in Professor Gao's eyes.

Could it be… this student named Xu Musen was also a junior under Professor Gao?

"Is this student related to you…"

"Does my relationship with him influence the matter? When did the school's administration start to be swayed by personal relations?"

Professor Gao was also not the least bit muddled; his light words made Director Ma break out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, yes, what you've taught is right."

However, the vaguer the reply, the more Director Ma felt their relationship wasn't ordinary.

But then, remembering Luo Hao's father, who after all was his old boss and not without influence, he found himself in a difficult position, swaying from side to side.

"But the school takes this matter very seriously… How about this, Huang Teng's punishment remains unchanged, and as long as you, Student Xu, retract your accusation against him and publicly clarify that this was all a misunderstanding, and compensate for the damaged door lock, we can consider this matter resolved, what do you think?"

Now, the school might have temporarily shielded Huang Teng, but apart from the issue of food safety, there were still charges of slander and market disruption.

If Xu Musen insisted on suing him, Huang Teng would still have to be taken away.

For the university too, this was a disgraceful matter.

Xu Musen slightly narrowed his eyes.

If they had offered to settle it like this from the beginning, Xu Musen might have reluctantly accepted it.

But looking at Luo Hao's expression,

Xu Musen spoke, "The damages I've caused, I will of course compensate, but I cannot simply cover up the slander splashed onto me."

His words stunned everyone present.

Huang Teng was even more nervous, his face covered in cold sweat.
Your journey continues with empire

The very act of canceling his project had already washed all his efforts away; if he got arrested on top of that... graduation might become difficult.

"Student, that should be enough. Do you really want to stand by your individual gains and losses and put the university on the spot?"

Seeing his obstinance, Director Ma also frowned.

Xu Musen replied with a slight smile, "I'm doing this for the university. If I let this go today, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling all the entrepreneurial students at Hu Hai University that it's okay for everyone to sling mud at each other and use unfair competition? Wouldn't our university's entrepreneurship fund thus be squandered?

I think we must pursue the ultimate responsibility and give all the student entrepreneurs an explanation, as well as a good impression to the public that Hu Hai University is serious, responsible, and does not shield or evade."

Xu Musen articulated his stance from the highest moral ground, leaving the leaders in the room speechless.

"Well said, how can progress be made without accepting criticism? This matter still needs to be investigated."

Professor Gao agreed, prompting the other leaders to begin nodding their heads.

"Moreover, I can assure you leaders, I will deliver a satisfactory resolution to the impact I caused within three days. If the final result still doesn't satisfy everyone, I am willing to accept the University's punishment."

Xu Musen made a bold promise.

Bai Xin looked at him worriedly, to which Xu Musen gave a reassuring glance.

"Good, if a student has such confidence, then Hu Hai University must also have a sense of responsibility. We'll handle the matter this way."

Professor Gao admired Xu Musen, thinking how rare it was for a young person to maintain such composure in front of so many leaders.

It seemed Nuannuan's judgment was not amiss.

Luo Hao felt a chill run down his back.

If this was investigated, he knew he wouldn't withstand scrutiny. He glanced at Huang Teng, who was also shivering with fear.

Determined, believing in the creed that you don't sacrifice friends to save yourself, he subtly signaled Director Ma.

After taking a look at Huang Teng, Director Ma said, "In that case, let's cancel this student's entrepreneurial project and reclaim the previously invested funds as a cautionary tale; he is hereafter barred from participating in any commercial activities at the school."

Director Ma decisively shifted the entire blame onto Huang Teng.

Huang Teng trembled all over, looking desperately at Luo Hao for help.

But where would Huang Teng find the money? The entrepreneurial funds from the school had been meager and were already spent.

"Professor Luo, please help me, I don't have..."

"You made the mistake. The school's punishment is to give you a chance. Don't say anymore."

But Luo Hao, who had been feeding him grand dreams, suddenly distanced himself.

Huang Teng opened his mouth, the pent-up grievances nearly bursting out.

It was you who instigated everything, and now you wash your hands of me so completely!

Just then, Director Ma found the documents and said, "Our school approved 150,000 yuan of entrepreneurship funds for you; return the funds within a month."

"One, one hundred and fifty thousand?!"

Huang Teng was shocked. He had thought the entrepreneurship fund was only about 100,000 yuan, and even if Luo Hao took half, he could cope.

But to his dismay, he discovered Luo Hao had pocketed two-thirds of it!

With 150,000 yuan in funds, would he have needed to buy cheap, rotten fruits?

Would he have been swindled into these actions?

And now, you devour my 100,000 and swiftly cut ties so cleanly.

It was getting hard for Huang Teng to contain his emotions. He felt like he was being exploited to the core, and now he had to pay for his own hospital check-up.
