He Zhichu was indeed a great lawyer. His tone and attitude were lethal, and tears welled up in Gui Suyao's eyes.
Brother Huang and Brother Duan looked at each other but didn't say anything.
"Professor He, Little Gui didn't do it on purpose. She's a counselor, so it's normal for her to look at Nianzhi's personal information. Of course, she shouldn't have shown it to anyone else."
Brother Wei had a good impression of Gui Suyao, and seeing that she was about to cry from He Zhichu's words, but Brother Huang and Brother Duan didn't say anything, he had no choice but to put in a good word for her.
Gui Suyao looked at him gratefully, "Brother Wei, I really didn't do it on purpose. Thank you."
He Zhichu shook his head. He propped his head up with one hand and rested his elbow on the armrest of the sofa. He said dryly, "Little Chen, go back and read the General Principles of the Civil Law twice. Write a thesis for me. It's called 'On the Privacy of Citizens'."
Brother Wei blushed and didn't dare to speak up for Gui Suyao anymore. He lowered his head and grunted, not daring to look up again.
Brother Huang knew He Zhichu better than anyone else, and Gui Suyao was indeed in the wrong. He was more familiar with Gu Nianzhi, so he had no intention of speaking up for Gui Suyao.
Brother Duan didn't want to offend either side, so he kept his mouth shut.
Gui Suyao blushed at He Zhichu's scolding of Brother Wei, and her tears finally fell uncontrollably.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Gui Suyao with mixed feelings.
Today's incident was actually a small matter – she was only half an hour late. If He Zhichu wanted to deduct points, she could only accept it.
But Gui Suyao always had a dagger in her words, and Gu Nianzhi didn't like it.
She liked it when Gui Suyao showed her weapon and fought with all her might. She hated it when Gui Suyao fanned the flames from the sidelines.
But that was a different matter. Gui Suyao had only been a little lazy this time, so how did it end up like this?
Gu Nianzhi also fell silent, a pained expression on her face.
He Zhichu glanced at Gu Nianzhi but didn't relent. He said to Gui Suyao, "Classmate Gui, your PhD application isn't complete yet. Go back and wait for further notice."
Gui Suyao was truly frightened.
She had gone to great lengths to ask her uncle, Prime Minister Dou, whom she had not contacted for a long time, to intercede for He Zhichu to accept her as his doctoral student.
It had only been a few days since school started, and she was about to be expelled. How was she going to establish herself in the B University Law Department in the future?!
She had already offended He Zhichu by leaving her former tutor and becoming He Zhichu's student.
If He Zhichu didn't want her anymore, her previous instructors definitely wouldn't want her anymore, and the other instructors in the faculty wouldn't want to get involved either. She might even have to leave B University and continue her studies at another university …
That was simply falling from heaven to hell!
Gui Suyao cried even louder.
Brother Huang and Brother Duan had no choice but to stand up and drag Gu Nianzhi to the small conference room in He Zhichu's suite. "Nianzhi, come here. We need to talk to you about something. We don't want you to offend Professor He again."
Gu Nianzhi understood what they meant. They didn't want Gui Suyao to be embarrassed in front of them.
She stood up and quickly followed Brother Huang and Brother Duan to the conference room. Brother Wei looked at Gui Suyao's teary eyes and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He followed Gu Nianzhi and the others to the conference room.
Only He Zhichu and Gui Suyao were left in the living room.
Without an outsider present, Gui Suyao's face and demeanor that she struggled to maintain were immediately thrown away.
She sobbed and lowered her voice to plead with He Zhichu. "Professor He, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. I admit I was wrong. You can punish me however you want, deduct my marks, I'll accept it all. But please don't kick me out … I already offended my previous tutor in order to study under you. If you don't want me anymore, I'll have nowhere to go … "
"That's not my problem." He Zhichu replied coldly. "People who break the law don't get a chance to bargain. They will all be punished by the law."
Gui Suyao's body swayed. She slid off the sofa and almost knelt before He Zhichu. "Professor He! I beg you! I'll accept any punishment you give me. I just ask that you don't kick me out. "
He Zhichu looked at her for a while. He continued to support his head and maintain his posture. His gaze was cold and his expression indifferent. "You really haven't completed the paperwork yet. I haven't signed the last document yet."
Gui Suyao's head jerked up. Her face was a mess of tears. Her foundation had been washed away by her tears. Her eyeliner was smeared and there were several black marks on her face from the tears. She looked truly pitiful.
But when she had power in her hands, she had no mercy when it came to torturing others.
He Zhichu knew this kind of person very well. He didn't chase her into a dead end. He only looked down and said coolly, "Go back first. I'll discuss this with the faculty and understand your situation. At the time, your uncle interceded, so I said I could give it a try … "
So it was just a try.
Gui Suyao's heart sank. Her entire body trembled. She looked at He Zhichu pitifully. "Professor He, I really want to be your student. Please give me a chance."
"I've already given you a chance. I've also given your uncle face." He Zhichu said patiently, "But you can only give face once. Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared. Your actions have truly disappointed me. I haven't decided whether to accept you as a Ph.D. student yet. Also, I have a set of test papers. You have to finish them and pass the exam. We'll talk after that. "
Gui Suyao had no choice but to say, "Then when is the exam? Professor He, please pick a time. "
"There's no rush. Go back first." He Zhichu stood up. "That's all for today."
Gui Suyao was practically kicked out by He Zhichu. She left the professors' building in a daze. The first thing she did was return to her dorm to change. She then hailed a cab to find her uncle for help.
When He Zhichu arrived at the conference room, he saw Brother Huang and Brother Duan surrounding Gu Nianzhi. They were constantly explaining things to take note of. Gu Nianzhi listened attentively and even took notes in her notebook.
He Zhichu crossed his arms and watched quietly at the door for a while. When they were done, he said dryly, "You can go back now. You don't have to attend class today."
Brother Huang and Brother Duan quickly packed their things and said goodbye to Gu Nianzhi. Brother Wei looked at Gu Nianzhi and hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say anything. When he arrived at the door, he said to He Zhichu, "Goodbye, Professor He." Then he left.
He Zhichu nodded at him and watched them leave.
Gu Nianzhi packed her backpack and slowly walked to the door. "Goodbye, Professor He."
"Nianzhi." He Zhichu stopped her. "Why are you only telling me about Gui Suyao now?"
"What are you talking about?"
"She's the one who spread your personal information." He Zhichu looked at her with a hint of heartache. "This kind of thing can be big or small. You must tell me in time in the future. Don't keep it to yourself."
