After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: They've gone too far!

As I walked down the street, I picked up my phone and made a call.

Arrived at the laboratory.

Everyone gathered together, their faces filled with anger.

When Dai Chen'an saw me, he said, "Xiao Wei took away our new equipment."

"When did this happen?" I asked.

“Just now, I was about to call you.” Dai Chen’an was still holding his phone.

"What did she say?" I put down my coffee.

"She said we're too old for the lab, and it's not suitable to bring in new equipment," Jiang Miao said through gritted teeth. "She even used the principal and Xu Zhen to pressure us!"

"The principal is here?" I raised an eyebrow.

Dai Chen'an nodded.

"I understand. Don't be angry. Go back to work. I'll handle this," I comforted them.

But everyone seemed rather unenthusiastic.

“I guarantee we’ll be able to move in within a week,” I said with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Miao asked happily.

I nodded.

"Since Professor Shen has said so, I'm relieved," Jiang Miao said with a smile.

I smiled and said, "Senior brother, I have something to tell you."

Dai Chen'an and I went into the office.

We sat down.

"Senior, there's a traitor in our lab." I glanced sideways at the group of people who had started working.

Dai Chen'an couldn't believe it: "Everyone has been with Professor Ming since Yuncheng, how could there be a traitor?"

I recounted how Gu Heng knew about Professor Ming's last words.

"Everyone was there when Professor Ming passed away." Dai Chen'an said, somewhat angry and saddened. "If anyone really did betray us, I would definitely let them go!"

“Actually, before we came to the school, I had a feeling that Wang Jing knew too much about us.” I explained, “He probed our research data and results several times, and every time we finished, he would call us immediately.”

Dai Chen'an understood: "I'll keep an eye on it recently."

“If you find anything, let me know, and we’ll solve it together,” I said.

Dai Chen'an nodded.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said.

Liu Shengyan walked in.

How dare she come to see me?

"The principal asked me to inform you that there's a meeting this afternoon in the principal's office," Liu Shengyan said, looking at me quietly.

"How did you get here?" I frowned.

Liu Shengyan said, "It was arranged by my brother. He donated money to the school, and the school gave me a job out of respect for him. What's so difficult about that?"

She used to put on an act in front of me, but now she doesn't even bother.

I sneered, "Gu Heng really likes to waste money, after all, you're about to be expelled from school."

"Shen Yan, I've always treated you like an older sister, but since you don't appreciate it, I won't be polite anymore." Liu Shengyan sneered, "How can you not understand? You're just a teacher. What good is having a team? You still have to wait for others to invest in you. Without money, you're nothing!"

“Well said. Gu Heng’s money belongs to the Gu family, not you.” I said sarcastically. “So what about Mo Ruchu? She’s the daughter of the prestigious Mo family, yet she was still abandoned by them. What about you?”

Liu Shengyan looked at me with a gloomy expression.

"Get out, and don't let me see you again." I was utterly disgusted. "Tell Wang Jing that if you send me any more messages, I'll expose everything about him!"

Liu Shengyan glared at me and turned away.

Dai Chen'an said in a low voice, "It seems that the principal and the others are openly going against you."

“I understand.” I knew perfectly well: “They just want to make things difficult for me in every way possible, and eventually force me to give up the ownership of those patents so that they can make a fortune. Do they think I’m stupid? Without the patent rights, I’m even more useless. They can kick me out whenever they want. Since they can’t tolerate me, I can’t tolerate them either!”

"Do you want to start?" he asked.

“It’s already begun.” I gave a cold laugh.

-

At 2 p.m., I arrived at the principal's office.

The school's vice president and Xu Zhen, among others, also arrived.

I am the last one.

Xu Zhen glanced at me and said, "Xiao Shen, why are you late again? So many people are waiting for you."

"It's not even two o'clock yet, how am I late?" I sat down. "Don't you have a sense of time? Or should I give you an hour next time?"

Xu Zhen's face turned pale.

"Ahem." Wang Jing coughed.

“Principal, you know I’m not good with words. Don’t let Liu Shengyan send me any more messages. I say what I think, and if I get upset and tell others about your affairs, don’t blame me. It’s your fault for provoking me.” I smiled indifferently, “I’m young and impulsive, please bear with me.”

Wang Jing's face fell as well.

"Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked with a smile. "You never used to call me when you made decisions; you always discussed them and then informed me. What's going on this time?"

Wang Jing took a deep breath and explained, "The Ministry of Education will be sending people over in a couple of days. Everyone needs to be on their toes, especially you, Xiao Shen. They're coming to see your team's research results. Um, your lab is too remote. When they arrive, bring your team to the new lab to demonstrate. Xiao Wei has already agreed."

Xiao Wei sat to the side, without saying a word.

I glanced at her sideways, then looked away and said, "Okay."

Wang Jing didn't expect me to agree so readily. He added, "I see that your team doesn't have many people. How about this, on that day, let Xiao Wei help you too. You give her the information and data first so she can familiarize herself with it. This inspection is a big deal, so don't make any mistakes."

"Okay, I understand." I nodded.

Wang Jing was satisfied: "Alright, everything's fine now."

"Who said there isn't?" I said casually. "Principal, I'll cooperate with everything you say, but what about the funding I requested?"

"We'll talk about that later," he said, trying to dodge the question again.

"Alright then, we'll talk about it later." I stood up: "We'll talk about presenting the research results later, and we'll talk about handing over the data and information later too. Let's talk about everything later."

I walked out of the office.

"Shen Yan." Xiao Wei chased after me, smiling at me, "Are you angry?"

"No," I said casually. "I'm easygoing, and anyone can bully me. It's no big deal."

She paused.

"Have you used the new equipment yet?" I raised an eyebrow. "You don't know how to use it, do you? It's the latest technology, and it needs to be used by a designated person. I think the school has already found someone for you. By the way, you absolutely must not try to use it yourself. You won't be able to afford to pay for it if you break it."

After saying that, I turned and left.

She scoffed, "Nothing special!"

I sneered.

That's really all there is to it.

They have no idea what I'm like when I go crazy.

Dai Chen'an was worried and waited for me downstairs.

I went over and explained what had happened. He angrily exclaimed, "They've gone too far!"
