Xu Anting called.
"Boyfriend?" The counselor's expression clearly showed that he didn't believe her. He flipped through the pile of pictures and said sarcastically, "Your boyfriend is really rich. He casually drives a car that's worth millions. He even changed a few cars. Qiao Qiao, where did you meet such a rich boyfriend?"
Qiao Qiao replied indifferently, "Where I met him should be my privacy."
"Heh, of course this is your privacy, but now it has been revealed that you are a kept mistress. Can we send such a student to participate in the scientific research? What do the other schools think of us?! "
Sugar daddy!
Mistress!
These two words were deeply stuck in Qiao Qiao's mind.
Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered the contract she signed with He Shaochen, and what Qiu Yixin said to her. She felt a bit embarrassed. She said harshly, "That's nonsense."
"I don't care if it's groundless or not, but this matter has already been made known to everyone. Sending you to the Scientific Research Association will damage our school's reputation. The school's decision this time is correct."
The counselor glanced at Qiao Qiao unhappily, and his tone became increasingly impatient.
"Then wouldn't depriving the students of the opportunity to participate in the scientific research without distinguishing between right and wrong, without even clarifying the cause and effect of the matter? Wouldn't that damage the reputation of Emperor Lan?"
"There's no other way."
"Can't we do a simple investigation? It's just a malicious rumor, and the school is going to stamp a student so carelessly? "Qiao Qiao also began to get emotional, and her eyes were slightly red.
She was indignant.
He was not willing to let those people's plan succeed so easily!
"Joe Qiao, how could you …"
"Teacher Zhang." Qiao Qiao coldly interrupted the counselor's words and seriously enunciated every word: "I don't have to participate in the Scientific Research Conference. Whoever has the ability can go. I don't have any objections. But I absolutely won't accept withdrawing in this way!"
The counselor looked at the resolute Qiao Qiao in shock and was momentarily stunned by her imposing manner.
After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he finally admitted defeat.
Annoyed, he glared at Qiao Qiao and said, "You don't agree with the school's decision?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then. Since you're not convinced, take out the evidence to prove your innocence."
"How can I prove it? Professor Xu and I are innocent! Could it be that a rich boyfriend must be kept as a mistress? What kind of logic is this? "
The counselor's face twitched violently again. Although he felt that Qiao Qiao was being unreasonable, he felt that she was right.
Judging from the photos, Qiao Qiao and Xu Anting did not have any intimate or ambiguous scenes. The only one was said to be when Qiao Qiao was having a fever and Xu Anting happened to pass by to support her. This was reasonable.
As for the other man, he explained clearly that he was her boyfriend.
There was no rule in this world that said that a rich boyfriend must be kept as a mistress.
The counselor was having a headache.
Could it be that someone was really slandering Qiao Qiao?
"The school might have really been misled by the language of the post. How about this, I'll give you two days. As long as you can find the person who posted the post and make him admit that he deliberately slandered you, I can submit an application to the school to reconsider this matter."
When Qiao Qiao heard this, she felt that she had finally seen the light after fumbling in the dark for so long.
She thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
The counselor waved his hand awkwardly. "I also made a mistake in this matter, so don't take it to heart. Remember, you only have two days. After the name list is officially submitted to the staff of the Scientific Research Association, you won't have another chance."
"Yes, I understand."
— —
Qiao Qiao left the office building with a heavy heart.
Although the counselor had already relented, it was not up to him to decide who would attend the Scientific Research Association. If they wanted to completely turn the situation around, they had to start from the source.
The person who posted those photos was the source.
It was actually not difficult to find out who posted the photos. They just had to find the other party's IP address. It was the information age now. As long as you left a trace on the Internet, as long as someone wanted to, they could investigate you thoroughly.
This was the so-called 'human flesh search'.
She went back to the classroom first and prepared to take away all the books that were placed there. Along the way, she naturally received a lot of strange looks.
Halfway back, her cell phone rang.
Qiao Qiao looked at the caller ID and couldn't help but be stunned.
It was a call from Xu Anting.
Qiao Qiao stared at the caller ID for a few seconds before finally answering the call. "Hello? Professor Xu? "
"Qiao Qiao, you didn't hear any strange rumors, right?" Xu Anting's voice sounded a little anxious and not as calm as usual.
Qiao Qiao laughed in her heart. She had not only heard it. Now, she had to face the pressure from the school to fight for the rights she deserved.
Oh, she forgot that Xu Anting had also been on a business trip for the past few days.
He had probably received a notice from the school about the temporary replacement and found out about this.
"Oh, there are some strange rumors, but it's okay. I don't care. Professor Xu, you don't have to worry," Qiao Qiao said as she walked.
Xu Anting heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qiao Qiao's words.
He seemed to laugh and said, "That's right. Don't care about those rumors. As long as you don't care, they are nothing."
"Okay …" Qiao Qiao nodded. She opened her mouth and said, "Professor Xu, this matter also implicated you. I'm sorry."
"If you don't care about these rumors, why would I care?" Xu Anting comforted her. "Don't worry. I don't care at all. They can say whatever they want."
Xu Anting paused for a moment before he said, "I'm sure you've received a notice from the school. You don't have to worry about attending the scientific research conference. I will handle it personally. They can't change the students I've selected without permission."
Qiao Qiao was suddenly stunned.
She unconsciously stopped walking. She opened her mouth and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Professor Xu, did you decide on the list of students to attend the scientific research conference?"
"Yes."
Qiao Qiao felt her heart pound hard. She felt the blood flow in her body accelerate.
It turned out that the list was not decided by the school, but by Xu Anting.
It was no wonder that after the school found out about the rumors, they did not even investigate the ins and outs of the matter and immediately rejected her. If it were her, she would have suspected that there was an inside story.
"Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao, are you listening?"
Xu Anting's voice could be heard over the phone.
Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses and nodded instinctively. "Yes, I'm listening. Uh … What's the matter?"
She was in a daze just now and did not hear what Xu Anting said.
Xu Anting was not annoyed. He only said helplessly, "Why are you always in a daze? This is not a good habit. Anyway, you might feel uncomfortable at school for the next few days. Don't take it to heart. "
"Okay, I know."
For a moment, the two of them were speechless.
"That's it then …" Xu Anting was about to hang up when Qiao Qiao suddenly called out to him. "Professor Xu, wait!"
"Huh? Is there anything else? "
