CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: A TROUBLESOME WOMAN (PART 10)

As they say, even if she doesn’t go looking for trouble, trouble will find her.

Tang Yanqi didn’t care about those rumors because she was upright and unafraid of shadows, coupled with her lofty and aloof character, she wouldn’t pay attention to such boring matters.

However, the next day, Tang Yanqi received a call from the Dean’s Office, asking her to come over.

As the top student in the Business School, Tang Yanqi had interacted a few times with the school leaders, so she wasn’t very unfamiliar. She walked to the dean’s office, politely knocked on the door, and went in: "Dean, you wanted to see me?"

Besides the dean, the head of the economics department was also present, along with someone Tang Yanqi hadn’t interacted with before, but she knew who it was, the new secretary to the principal.

"Tang, sit down."

Tang Yanqi’s calm gaze swept over the three people before she withdrew it and obediently sat down to the side.

"Tang, we asked you here to understand something. You’ve seen the recent happenings on the school’s online forum, right? As the leaders of the school, we want to understand the truth of the matter."

The speaker was the dean, whose tone was still approachable. The department head sat beside Tang Yanqi, and since she was their star student, the department head was definitely on Tang Yanqi’s side.

"Yanxi, the teachers believe it’s not as it says online. You just need to tell the truth."

Tang Yanqi nodded, but the principal’s secretary over there was looking rather arrogant: "Nowadays, college students are getting more and more unruly. If such reputations spread, where will K University’s reputation go? I heard you even give her a full scholarship every year? Heh."

Those two sneers at the end were truly intriguing. Tang Yanqi also sensed the hostility from this person and furrowed her brow slightly before explaining, "I tutor outside, and the car owner is my student’s cousin. He happened to be coming to K University for business, so he gave me a ride back. During the journey, he had something to attend to, so he went to Shengshi Group and parked the car in front of Shengshi Group."

"Oh, so that’s how it is. I thought there must be some misunder—"

The dean hadn’t finished his sentence when he was interrupted again: "I apologize if my words may not sound pleasant, but this is merely Tang’s side of the story. The principal’s stance is to investigate this matter thoroughly. Since you say he’s your student’s cousin, then please have him come to the school to cooperate with the investigation. We won’t wrong you, but we also won’t be easily fooled by you."

"Secretary Yang, what do you mean by that?"

"What? Is there a problem with what I said? I merely hope the truth comes to light. Moreover, don’t you find Tang’s words questionable? Heh, she’s just an undergraduate who hasn’t graduated yet. What kind of person would she be tutoring? A middle school student? A high school student? How could such a student’s cousin have such a large age difference with them? Even if there really is one, a family that would hire a college student as a tutor is obviously ordinary, yet such a family can afford such a luxury car? As someone from the principal’s office, I don’t wish to accuse anyone wrongly, but I also don’t want to be deceived. This is also the principal’s stance. Now, Tang, do you have any issues with that?"

Secretary Yang’s words sounded reasonable on the surface, but upon careful analysis, it was clear he was just picking a fight. Tang Yanqi maintained a neutral expression, but her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Had she offended this new secretary in some way?
