Xia Sanghuan opened her hands, revealing the voice recorder she had been hiding in her palm.
"You..."
Fan Rui's eyes widened in shock.
The next second, the girl pressed the button on the voice recorder.
Every word she had said just now was played back without a single omission.
Meanwhile, the expressions of Fu Moning and Fu Youqing turned even grimmer.
"I think Miss He needs to come with us. Your father is waiting for you," Fu Moning said with a cold smile.
Fan Rui stared at her, her face ashen.
After hearing the recording, the students fell silent. They no longer paid attention to the two Fu sisters and scattered like a group of rats caught in the act.
They had all said those words. If the principal found out, each of them would face disciplinary action.
After everyone had left, Xia Sanghuan let out a tired sigh of relief.
She followed her sisters back to the Fu family mansion and saw Fan Rui's father there.
He was also the head of the human resources department at Philnos.
As expected.
A strange feeling welled up in her heart.
Fan Rui's father pulled his daughter along and sincerely apologized to her, but she just stared at them coldly throughout.
Even though the man had humbled himself to such an extent, he still couldn't escape the fate of being dismissed.
And Fan Rui would also be expelled from Philnos - she hadn't gotten into the college on her own merits in the first place.
"I understand," Li Ran paused on the phone.
"You've been wronged, classmate Xia Sanghuan."
"I'll deal with this matter as soon as I get back."
Just as he was about to hang up, he heard the girl ask,
"How is my master?"
"There's still no news yet," Li Ran sighed.
After ending the call with the principal, Xia Sanghuan fell into deep thought.
Her master's life or death was still unknown. It was impossible for her not to be worried.
She still cared a great deal about what had happened that day.
Those people must have some connection with her master.
...
In the following days, Xia Sanghuan still went to school as usual, but those students clearly didn't want to let her off easily.
Perhaps feeling that their self - esteem had been offended, they became even more extreme than before.
This incident was even posted online, and the public began to doubt the fairness of Philnos.
After all, the school had just expelled Fan Rui, who had gotten in through her father.
Leng Chuanjin frowned as he browsed the news on the web.
He had been picking up Xia Sanghuan from school these days. Firstly, it was an excuse to see her, and secondly, he wanted to use his status to intimidate the students at her school.
But it didn't seem to have much effect.
On the surface, they didn't dare to cause trouble for Sanghuan anymore, but who knew what they were doing behind her back.
The girl was really bothered by these things, especially now that the research on the medicine had reached a crucial point.
The principal might have been held up by something and still hadn't returned.
Philnos was in a complete mess because of the online remarks. The head of the public relations department hadn't slept well for three consecutive days.
Later, even the board of directors got involved.
Fu Zeming probably never thought that besides Fu Kai, he would be summoned by the school because of his precious daughter, Xia Sanghuan.
He sat across from one of the directors of Philnos, listening seriously as the director explained the situation to him.
At first, the director was very polite. He briefly explained the whole process of the incident in a business - like manner and finally clearly stated that he hoped the Fu family could give Philnos an explanation.
Fu Zeming couldn't help but sneer.
He stood up and looked down at the director in front of him.
"I don't think the Fu family needs to give Philnos any explanation. On the contrary, your school should give an explanation to my injured daughter," he said with a dark expression, dropping his initially gentle tone.
The director paused for a moment and no longer looked so arrogant.
But he still mustered the courage to say,
"The board of directors of Philnos has unanimously decided that if the Fu family can't resolve this public relations crisis within half a month, we will have no choice but to suspend classmate Xia Sanghuan first."
Fu Zeming glanced at him but didn't say anything in the end.
He turned around and left the office.
After making sure he had left, the director let out a long sigh of relief.
No wonder the old guys had unanimously decided to send him to inform Fu Zeming.
The feeling of confronting him was really terrifying.
After coming out of the office, Fu Zeming saw Xia Sanghuan waiting for him at the door.
He walked over and patted his daughter on the head.
The little girl looked up at him uneasily.
"Dad, what did he say to you?"
Seeing her worried look, he gave her a reassuring smile.
"He said a bunch of nonsense."
"Come on, Dad will take you to eat something delicious. I'll also buy some for your elder brother and sister."
Without further ado, he took his daughter's hand and left this place full of trouble.
Maybe sensing his mood, the girl didn't say much during the whole journey.
"Huanhuan,"
"Do you want to transfer to another school?"
Fu Zeming asked carefully while driving.
Xia Sanghuan was silent for a moment and then replied dejectedly,
"Has Philnos expelled me?"
"How could that be?"
He couldn't help but laugh.
"I just think that school doesn't deserve you."
Hearing her father's words, she could more or less understand what he meant.
It didn't really matter to her where she went to school, as she already knew everything she needed to.
But there was Professor He at Philnos College, and there was the research they had been working hard on for some time.
She shook her head.
"Okay,"
"Then we'll listen to our Huanhuan."
Fu Zeming thought to himself silently.
"Huanhuan, do you have time to attend a press conference tomorrow?"
"What kind of press conference?"
"To publicly announce your identity. If we don't admit that you're the little treasure of the Fu family, you'll be bullied badly."
Although it was a joking tone, Xia Sanghuan somehow heard a hint of sadness.
She had originally wanted to solve these things by herself, but in the end, she still troubled her father and the others.
She pursed her lips and began to think about how to solve this matter.
The identity of being the daughter of the Fu family alone couldn't suppress those students.
Since they could get into the world - class top - tier university, it meant they were all outstanding among the crowd, so they naturally looked down on others and didn't put the so - called "business people" in their eyes.
Only when they saw that she had stronger strength than them would they probably shut their noisy mouths.
"I do,"
She turned to look at her father, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
"Dad, I want to add something to the press conference."
"What do you want to add?"
After getting home, the girl rummaged through the cabinets and finally found all the offers she had received from various top - tier universities.
"I want to add these things to the part where they introduce me."
