Those who knew the inside story shared a tacit understanding.
The dean wanted to keep Miss Sheng in Lanca Academy no matter what.
Moreover, the one who would be entering the research institute this time would either be Sheng Yang or Tong Xieyi.
Setting up this roadblock was equivalent to doing the Tong family a favor. In this way, the two sides were compatible.
The dean was the one who would reap all the benefits in the end!
Class 12 (6) was in an uproar. Their first reaction was to look for the dean to pick a fight.
It was too much! In the past, they were never tested on experiments. Hence, even though only Class 12 (3) had a separate laboratory, the others did not say anything about it. But now, wasn’t it obvious that they wanted to leave the first place to Class 12 (3)? It was too unfair!
That was right. Students in Class 12 (3), whose parents or older siblings were from the upper class of Lanca, could enjoy such a privilege.
Would this class remain undefeated?
Ding Xing closed his eyes. He thought about his cousin, who was also his aunt’s daughter, who was in Class 12 (3). She had called him useless before this, but after his aunt lost, she kept silent. At the time, he had felt very good.
Now, another trace of indignation crept into his heart.
The director arrived. “What’s with all the noise?!”
He was one of the few people in the know about the whole thing. The dean had informed him. Naturally, it was his duty to maintain order.
However, it was not easy for the director to solve this matter. Lan Yu took the lead and stood up. The young man’s face was filled with indignation. “Why did you change the rules at the last minute?”
The director’s expression didn’t change. As a leader, he was good at pushing responsibility. “It was a decision made by the higher-ups.”
“Oh, the higher-ups. That means it’s the dean! Let’s go and find the dean!” Lan Yu replied.
“Let’s go!”
How could they be willing to give up their victory just like that?
The director panicked. “You can’t mess around. Do you think you can meet the dean whenever you want? If that’s the case, how many people does the dean have to meet every day?!”
Lan Yu rolled his eyes. He was a smart man, so he didn’t fight head-on. “I know you’re very capable, Director. If that’s the case, you should help us solve the problem. Then we won’t have to see the dean.”
The director had yet to take the bait. He knew what was important. “I can’t solve this problem. The lower-ranking personnel has to obey the arrangements of their superiors. The students should listen to the academy’s arrangements.”
Lan Yu pondered for a moment before nodding. “I understand.”
The director had a faint smile on his face. Then, he left with his hands behind his back. He liked students who understood the situation!
Those students respected Lan Yu, so they didn’t say anything just now. But now that the director had left, they said indignantly, “Lan Yu, are you going to compromise just like that?”
“Compromise?” Lan Yu’s eyes narrowed. “The word ‘compromise’ is not in my dictionary. But what he just said did point me in the right direction!”
Did subordinates have to obey their superiors?
Lan Yu and a few other student representatives went straight to the research institute. The people from the research institute did not allow them to enter, so they waited at the entrance of the research institute.
As the sun set, people came out one after another. Lan Yu was holding a photo in his hand, but it looked more like he was holding a wanted poster. He scanned the people one by one, then saw a figure. He rushed forward. “Dean Zhou!”
“Hey, who are you?” The security guards immediately surrounded them.
Zhou Rusheng didn’t care. There were many people looking for him every day. However, when he caught a glimpse of a face in the crowd, he saw a face that made his nerves tighten. It was just that it was younger than the face he remembered.
