“What’s going on?” Luo Mengmeng could not help but tremble in fear.

Qin Yuan glanced at Sheng Yang before whispering into Luo Mengmeng’s ear.

Luo Mengmeng slammed the table. “This is too much.”

“Keep your voice down.” Qin Yuan knew that this was a common occurrence in university. Many people would just endure their anger, but she didn’t know what Sheng Yang would do.

In the meeting room—

Ji Qingming had just finished his seminar. Because he had recently published a thesis on BIO and received a lot of praise, his status had risen.

Although the higher-ups did not say it explicitly, the actions of the director of the department clearly indicated that when he was about to be promoted to a higher position, his current position would belong to Ji Qingming. It should not take more than half a year.

Therefore, Ji Qingming had been in high spirits recently.

He didn’t do anything wrong. The thesis competition he arranged had been the right move. He did everything he could to let Sheng Yang join the thesis team. This was the best arrangement in his life.

He was feeling pleased with himself. The praises and compliments from the teachers around him had pushed his vanity to a limitless state.

“Teacher Ji is really young and promising.”

“Haha, after becoming the director of the department, Teacher Ji will break our university’s record.”

“What is Teacher Ji’s next goal? Could it be getting into the university’s administrative office?”

At this moment, someone barged into the meeting room. Someone joked, saying, “Why is Chancellor Liao here? Is he going to announce it now?”

Liao Chunqiu stared at Ji Qingming with a dark gaze. Ji Qingming was in high spirits and went up to him without noticing anything wrong. “Chancellor Liao, what brings you here today?”

Liao Chunqiu gritted his teeth. He, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly asked, “Do you want to die?”

Ji Qingming: “?”

Liao Chunqiu had a splitting headache. The people from the Ivy League were still here. What Ji Qingming did was a huge blow to Imperial Capital University.

However, he had to be impartial and give his students justice.

Ji Qingming was too eager for instant benefits! He did not care about the occasion or the time. He only cared about his achievements!

When the others saw that the situation wasn’t right and that Chancellor Liao looked like he was about to flare up, all of them smiled awkwardly. One of them said, “I still have something going on, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Me too.”

After everyone had left, Ji Qingming asked Liao Chunqiu, “Chancellor Liao, what happened? Why are you so angry?”

“Don’t you know?”

Ji Qingming looked away, feeling a little guilty. The only thing he had done recently was…

However, no one should have found out. There were no students here who could get their hands on BIO’s journals.

By the time the thesis was discovered by the masses, it would be at least three to five years later. By then, there would be no evidence and most people would have no impression of it.

Ji Qingming’s plan was perfect.

Ji Qingming straightened his back. “Chancellor Liao, I don’t understand what you mean!”

Liao Chunqiu slammed the table, startling Ji Qingming.

“Ji Qingming, you’re still unrepentant! Explain to me the latest thesis you published on BIO!”

Ji Qingming was completely stunned. Then, his breathing became rapid as his heart started beating wildly. He hurriedly said, “Chancellor Liao, what’s wrong with my latest thesis? Many people are jealous of me recently. Don’t believe in those anonymous complaints.”
