When Principal Chen heard this, he felt like the sky was falling.

Professor Xie was not angry at first and thought that the matter could be resolved smoothly, but he did not expect that Professor Xie not only did not want to take the students, but also wanted to move away.

"Professor Xie, we can discuss this." Principal Chen wiped his sweat. "I know that the school didn't do enough this time."

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Principal Chen, the school has done a great job this time. All the leaders have actively addressed the issue, and the main perpetrators have been arrested. All that's left is to wait for legal action."

"It's been a busy day today, and now it's getting dark. All the leaders have worked hard, so go back and rest early. I'm tired too, so if there's anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Principal Chen also knew that staying here might not necessarily yield the desired results. "Then Professor Xie, please have a good rest."

After the leaders left, five students gathered around.

Qiao Chu's eyes were red. "Teacher, are you... particularly disappointed with us, so you don't want to teach students anymore?"

Especially the four first and second year graduate students, who looked at Professor Xie pitifully like abandoned puppies.

Professor Xie smiled faintly. "How could that be? Every one of my students is excellent. I can't deny all of them because of Yu Meimei alone. I'm no longer teaching students because my energy is limited. After all, revising papers is really tiring."

"The reason I just told my superiors is true. I want to spend more time with my family and my newborn grandchildren, and I want to accompany them as they grow up. My husband has been working in the army, and I have been running back and forth between school and Sifang Island. It's such a waste of time."

"As for you, don't worry. Since I accepted you, I will teach you everything you need to learn, so that you can graduate smoothly and accompany you throughout this journey of study."

Qiao Chu hugged Professor Xie and said, "Teacher, you are the best teacher."

Zhang Susu also came over and said, "Teacher, really, I have a fellow countryman who is also studying for a master's degree. Compared to him, I am so lucky."

Professor Xie patted Zhang Susu and Qiao Chu's heads gently and smiled. "You call me teacher, and I must live up to the title. To me, being a teacher is not just a job, but also a responsibility to impart knowledge."

"This incident has passed, but I hope it will teach you something: When doing anything involving communication with others, try to keep as much evidence as possible."

Qiao Chu nodded, "I understand, teacher."

Professor Xie smiled and patted Qiao Chu on the shoulder. "You're going to a very good school. Study hard there. Don't be influenced by others. Have your own ideas, and be careful to protect yourself."

Professor Xie not only gave earnest instructions to Qiao Chu, but also to the other four students.

We don't have to move the laboratory right away, we'll take our time.

Professor Xie was going out to eat with a few students, but was rejected by five of them.

"Teacher, we won't go out to eat. A few of us will invite you to the cafeteria for dinner!" Qiao Chu thought for a moment. "Although the food in the cafeteria isn't as delicious as outside, we want everyone to know that our teacher is the best."

Tang Cheng also nodded in agreement, "Yes, teacher! The people who broke the law have been arrested, and those who have been wronged should stand up for everyone to see, instead of swallowing their anger in silence."

Professor Xie shook his head and laughed, "Actually, I don't take these things too seriously."

"It doesn't matter if you don't mind, teacher, but a person's lifelong reputation cannot be tarnished like this." Zhang Susu said, "I'm really embarrassed to say that it was you who paid for our dinner! This semester is almost over, so let us treat you to a meal, thank you."

Several students strongly requested it, and Professor Xie readily agreed, "Okay, then let's go to the cafeteria to eat! But use my card!"

Qiao Chu insisted, "If it was before, we would have followed the teacher to eat and drink for free, but today, no matter what, it's our treat!"

"Susu and I will accompany the teacher. You three boys go get some food and reserve a seat! We'll split the bill later. It's settled, and the teacher's objection is useless."

"Yes, senior sister, let's go right away!" The three boys ran away, and hearty laughter could be heard as they ran.

The two girls accompanied Professor Xie to the cafeteria.

Along the way, I met many people who knew Professor Xie, and they all looked at me sideways.

However, when he saw Professor Xie, Qiao Chu and Zhang Susu talking and laughing, and remembered that Vice Principal Xu and Yu Meimei had been arrested, he guessed what had happened.

It didn't matter that a worthless vice president was in jail; these students cared more about Professor Xie. After all, most of the knowledge and professional skills they learned came from these professors.

Professor Xie's abilities are obvious to all, and the students he has mentored are truly exceptional. The fact that Professor Xie has not engaged in academic misconduct is a positive development for all students.

Many students greeted Professor Xie. Although she couldn't remember her name, she was familiar with her face, after all, she had taught undergraduate students before.

However, since Liu Meilan became pregnant last year, Professor Xie quit teaching undergraduate courses and focused on teaching graduate students full-time.

Professor Xie also greeted the students openly and ate with them in the cafeteria, which dispelled the rumors.

When I got home, it was already 7:30 pm.

Professor Xie took a shower, poured himself a glass of water, and called his daughter while drinking.

Liu Meilan had already learned the general situation from Qin Ming. She felt relieved when she heard her mother's voice was still strong.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about the child! You can work at the school during this time! Come back after you finish your work!"

Professor Xie nodded. "Okay, the development of the special medicine has just reached a critical stage. I'll keep an eye on it and apply for a patent once it's ready."

"The child is breastfed, so you should avoid eating too much chili and seafood. Follow the recipes I've compiled for you."

Liu Meilan pouted, "Oh, I'm going to drool!"

"Just bear with it. If you really want to eat it, ask the nanny to prepare the seafood according to the local women's confinement method, and then you can eat it! When the child is six months old and can eat solid food and milk powder, we will wean him. Then you can eat whatever you want."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Then I'll endure it! Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I'm a mother now, and I know how to protect my children."

Professor Xie reminded him that although he was at school, his heart was still at home. "Your sister-in-law is also in poor health and still has to go to work! I'm embarrassed to say more, so you should try to persuade her. If that doesn't work, just talk to your Grandpa Wang!"

Liu Meilan chuckled, "Actually, I didn't need to complain. Grandpa Wang couldn't stand it anymore! The twins' belly was so big. Even if we weren't worried about them in the hospital, the journey back and forth would be quite scary! So Grandpa Wang asked for leave directly from my second sister-in-law!"

Professor Xie also smiled and said, "Okay!"

The gloom of the day disappeared in the sound of my daughter's cheerful laughter.
