Chapter 1044: Getting Scolded on the Internet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were a lot of review documents, and almost all of them were released online.

[I know Gu Mang is pretty capable, but surely this is too much? Do you have any idea what level the Traditional Chinese Medicine Science Experimental Class is on? That’s Capital University’s academic mecca!]

[The undergraduates graduating from this class would be akin to Ph.D. students.]

[The top scholars have to compete with one another to enter that class, and yet they have to be taught by someone younger than them?]

[Gu Mang sure has a strong backing. Is she trying to ruin the next generation?!]

[That won’t happen when Elder Yu is around. She’s just going to claim Elder Yu’s credit as her own.]

[What the heck?! Has she no shame? Does she really think that she’s omnipotent and can do anything she wants?]

[We can’t let such a bad practice continue! Taking someone else’s credit for her own, won’t that make her a thief?!]

Everyone acted as if they were the gods of judgment and lashed out with righteous indignation from a moral viewpoint.

“The International Medical Competition’s award is probably the only award Gu Mang can’t show off.” Qin Fang scoffed. Gu Mang’s name alone means absolute power, but the most ridiculous thing is that those people who are scolding her didn’t even make it to Capital University. As expected, jealousy and slander are a form of admiration themselves.

Qin Fang looked at Lu Chengzhou and asked in concern, “What should we do, Brother Cheng? The Miracle Doctor is on the top of the most wanted list, and the bounty for her is worth three billion! There will be a lot of trouble if her identity gets exposed.”

Lu Chengzhou lowered his gaze slightly. “It’ll be troublesome indeed.”

“Why don’t we get Elder Yu to take charge and let Gu Mang give orders behind the scenes? There’s no need for her to expose her identity because of a job title. It’ll be dangerous if she gets targeted once her identity is exposed.” It was the first time Qin Fang heard Lu Chengzhou saying such a thing, so he couldn’t help being worried. Besides, this is a critical period with Gu Mang being pregnant.

Lu Chengzhou looked up and curled his lips into a vicious smile. “You think it’s that sort of trouble?”

Qin Fang didn’t understand what he meant. “What did you mean then?”

Lu Chengzhou then proceeded to send Gu Mang a text. [Go ahead and eat first. I’ll settle everything.]

Gu Mang’s reply came in fast. [Okay.]

The couple didn’t need to say too much for them to know what each other was about to do.

Only then did Lu Chengzhou answer Qin Fang’s question. “Those old men from the medical field are all eyeing the Miracle Doctor. She’ll be annoyed by them.” Dangerous? I dare them to try and lay a hand on my woman.

The corners of Qin Fang’s eyes twitched when he understood what Lu Chengzhou was talking about. It turned out that the couple was afraid of others disturbing their peace and quiet. He really wanted to point his middle finger at the other, but he didn’t dare to, for the way the couple treated him was getting worse. That stupid He Yidu betrayed me too! Apart from work-related stuff, he doesn’t hang out with me anymore!

Once the experimental data was out, He Yidu saved the data, loosened his tie, and removed his glasses before walking over toward them. “Which idiot is tired of living this time?”

After what happened on Jijing Island, things had been relatively calm on the other islands, including the capital, for a few months, so the hostility in these men seemed to be in hibernation as well. It had been a long time since they had gotten angry.

Being used to fighting with real weapons, these people reckoned that playing with the public opinion was beneath them. However, Gu Mang had promised Principal Ren and Yang Tianming that she would run the Traditional Chinese Medicine Science Experimental Class, so she would definitely make good on her word.

Qin Fang smirked and spoke ruthlessly. “That’s what I want to know too. They sure have some nerve.”

He Yidu turned to face Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng, how should we settle this matter? If it’s not properly settled, it’ll be awkward for Gu Mang to return to Capital University.”

As Lu Chengzhou lowered his gaze, the glow of his phone screen was reflected in his cold eyes. From his address book, he then found Fei Luo’s number and gave the latter a call.

…

This wasn’t the first time Gu Mang was scolded on the internet, but it was by far the most serious case. It was so bad that many official accounts had no choice but to step forward and give their word that they wouldn’t take education lightly. However, they would feign ignorance whenever Gu Mang’s name was mentioned.

Their silence led to the netizens’ protest growing more and more uncontrollable. Weibo’s server could barely hold up.

[Please get Gu Mang to take a look at her bare resume and then take a look at Academician Yu’s resume. Is she even qualified to order him around?]

[She’s not even qualified to become the professors’ students, yet she dreams of being a rank above them? Just because she has some fame in other industries, she’s starting to get arrogant?]

[Academician Yu and the other professors will be around, so the program will naturally do well. What she wants is just fame!]

[Isn’t the Ministry of Education going to care about this? How is this fair at all?]

Meanwhile…

Zhao Xinran was sitting on the sofa and happily scrolling through Weibo on her phone. The comments are quite harsh. Gu Mang is doomed for sure. Not only will she be banned from academia, she probably can’t even remain in Capital University anymore.

Just then, the office door was pushed open. Zhao Jin’s face was dark as she stormed in and glared at her niece. “Are you the one who uploaded those review documents? Are you trying to do me in?!” Although I didn’t want to give a pass for the review, I never thought of provoking the Lu family either.

A smug smile appeared on Zhao Xinran’s face. “Calm down, Auntie. I’m not stupid enough to do it myself. I got someone else to upload them. Nobody will be able to trace it back to me.”

At this point, even if Zhao Jin wanted to give her niece a few tight slaps across the face, she could only hold herself back. “Are you sure you did a clean job?”

Zhao Xinran nodded. “I paid that person a million yuan for his silence. He won’t reveal that I’m the mastermind. Besides, you’re not the only one with the review documents. Nobody will know that they were leaked from your end.”

Such documents usually had backup copies.

Zhao Jin let out a heavy sigh as she suppressed her anger and said, “Go back this instant and just obediently stay at home!”

Since Zhao Xinran had completed what she wanted to do, there wasn’t any point for her to stay any longer. She thus cheerfully emptied her cup of water before standing up with her bag and leaving the office with a spring in her steps.

Zhao Jin took one hateful glance at her niece before taking her phone out to call her brother.

“Was it really Xinran’s doing?” asked Zhao Huai in a strained voice as soon as the call connected.

Zhao Jin thus repeated what Zhao Xinran said to her to Zhao Huai with gritted teeth. “Brother, what happened has already happened. All I hope for is that it won’t implicate me, the Zhao family, and Eastern Brilliance.” It wasn’t easy for me to get to where I am now!

“I’ll get someone to wipe the traces clean. The Lu family is probably too busy trying to control the public opinion to bother about getting to the bottom of things,” said Zhao Huai. In any case, the netizens won’t let Gu Mang off for dreaming to be the chief professor when she has neither the abilities nor the experience. Even the number of people scolding Xinran on Weibo has been dropping. The scorn is now directed at Gu Mang. With things blown up so big, even the Lu family will have to spend some effort to take care of things.

Zhao Jin apparently had the same thoughts. She let out a long and heavy sigh, her voice no longer sounding as cold as before. “I sure hope so, Brother…”

However, before she could finish speaking, she heard loud and urgent knocks from her brother’s end.. She instinctively fell silent, only to hear Zhao Huai’s assistant’s trembling voice a moment later. “Chairman Zhao, Weibo…”
