Model Student (Part 3) 488: Chapter 488: Expulsion from School?

Model Student (Part 3) “Is everything you said true?!”

In the office of Gu Lanzi, the powerful deputy leader in charge of economic affairs in Zhonghai.

Compared to the initial unease and indecision when she had received Lin Fei’s call, Gu Lanzi had undoubtedly become much colder after learning that Meng Xue’er and the other two girls had been framed and unfairly dismissed from their academic registrations.

“If there is any falsehood, I am willing to warm your bed.”

“Ugh, who needs your bed warming—go warm someone else’s bed.” Hearing the flirtatious tone in Lin Fei’s voice over the phone, Gu Lanzi, blushing, couldn’t help but retort lightly.

Although she was being flirted with by Lin Fei, owing to their complex romantic relationship, Gu Lanzi, the powerful deputy leader in charge of economic affairs, was merely slightly embarrassed.

A woman’s concern, however, lay more on what Lin Fei had said about Meng Xue’er and the other two girls being framed and unjustly expelled from the university.

“Lin Fei, clarify this to me, what exactly is your relationship with those three girls?”

“Just ordinary colleagues.”

“Ordinary colleagues, and you think it’s worth calling me?!

Do you think everyone is as idle as you?!”

Hearing Lin Fei’s slightly impatient tone from the other end of the phone, Gu Lanzi couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

After all, she was the powerful deputy leader in charge of economic affairs in Zhonghai.

Not to mention handling countless tasks daily, her workload was overwhelming.

This was evident as she was still reviewing documents in her office on a Saturday.

If Lin Fei or someone close to him had encountered trouble, due to her complex romantic relationship with him, Gu Lanzi would most likely set aside her work to lend a hand.

But now, Lin Fei was disturbing her over three ordinary colleagues, which was understandably irritating for Gu Lanzi.

After all, as the deputy leader in charge of economic affairs in Zhonghai, countless people sought her help daily.

If she were to help every person who came to her, she would probably have to abandon her official duties.

Indeed, it was only because of her complex romantic relationship with Lin Fei that she hadn’t hung up on him in frustration already!

“Lin Fei, I’m telling you, I oversee economic matters.

School and education-related issues are out of my jurisdiction.

I’m afraid I can’t help you with this.

If there’s nothing else, I need to hang up.”

Feeling irritated, Gu Lanzi had no desire to talk further with Lin Fei.

She offhandedly responded and was about to hang up on him.

“These three ordinary colleagues were interviewed and hired by Shanshan herself.”

“Whoever hired them—wait, which Shanshan are you talking about?!”

“My wife.”

Hearing that Meng Xue’er and the other two girls were personally interviewed and hired by the icy CEO, Mu Shanshan, Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader in charge of economic affairs, temporarily eased her irritation and became much more solemn.

Gu Lanzi couldn’t afford to take this lightly; if they were just three ordinary employees of Mu Group, it indeed wouldn’t be worth her intervention.

But if they were three potential employees valued by the icy CEO Mu Shanshan, the significance was entirely different.

After all, Mu Group, having merged with Fangxing Group, was under intense media scrutiny.

It’s fair to say that any move by Mu Group could trigger a public opinion storm in Zhonghai.

If it came out now that the three potential employees prized by the icy CEO, Mu Shanshan, had been framed and expelled, it could definitely spark a public opinion controversy under the instigation of those with ulterior motives.

For Gu Lanzi, who had heavily invested in Mu Group, this was the last thing she wanted to see.

“Was it really Mu Shanshan who personally interviewed and hired them into the company?

You are not lying to me?!”

“If I lied to you, you could totally sleep me to death.”

“I’ll check on this matter for you.

If, what you said turns out to be all true, I will consider, on a personal basis, asking Zhonghai University to reinstate the registrations of your three colleagues.”

“Thank you very much, Director Gu.

Should this succeed, I will definitely reciprocate.”

“I don’t care!”

Disinterested in flirting with Lin Fei, Gu Lanzi coldly tossed out Lin Fei’s name and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up on Lin Fei, Gu Lanzi originally wanted to personally call Mu Shanshan, that ice-queen CEO, to verify if what Lin Fei had said was true.

However, after contemplating for a couple of seconds, Gu Lanzi, who was the influential deputy director in charge of Zhonghai’s economic affairs, considering Mu Group’s rise among the top 500 domestic enterprises and Mu Shanshan’s prestigious qualification as a People’s Representative, switched her call to the office of the president of Zhonghai University.

“Connect me with President Yu of Zhonghai University—”

…

Around noon, at the rental house originally owned by Lin Fei, where Ning Qi and Meng Xue’er were staying.

“Lin, you got to honestly tell me, who did you just call?

Xue’er and the others have been expelled from the school, what graduation certificate can they even get, do you know their university president?!”

Displeased that Lin Fei refused to accompany her to confront Zhou Haimai for Meng Xue’er, Ning Qi saw Lin Fei promising the innocent and pure Meng Xue’er, after returning from the balcony to the living room, that they would definitely get their graduation certificates.

Knowing some of Lin Fei’s shameless nature, Ning Qi thought Lin Fei was just comforting Meng Xue’er and was about to expose him on the spot.

Seeing Ning Qi distrusting him, and not wanting to execute “punishment” in front of Meng Xue’er, Lin Fei simply started to set a trap for the woman.

“How about we make a bet?”

“A bet on what?”

“On whether Xue’er and the others can get their graduation certificates.”

“What’s the wager?”

“Whoever loses warms the bed for the other.”

“You—”

Just as Ning Qi wanted to accuse Lin Fei of being shameless, she was interrupted by the sudden ringtone of Meng Xue’er’s phone.

Meng Xue’er, slightly flustered at first, answered the call, and as time passed, her originally panicked pretty face was gradually replaced with shock and exhilaration.

“Xue’er, what happened?”

After Meng Xue’er hung up the phone, Ning Qi, concerned for the girl, immediately approached her and asked.

“No, nothing—ah no, yes, it’s something.

It’s, it’s good news.

The counselor, the counselor called me to say, the school just announced the reinstatement of our registrations.

Oh, and also, we, we have been designated as Outstanding Students.”

After Meng Xue’er finished speaking, Ning Qi was momentarily stunned…
