Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Not Letting Cake Go to Waste
Gu Chi gradually calmed down.
At this moment, Tuanzi leaned over slyly, her voice soft and full of teasing.
"Yesterday, Gu Chi was advising Miaomiao to use the law to punish those bad guys and not to be resentful. But today, when the results are out, it’s you who can’t maintain composure."
Gu Chi cleared his throat a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Is this what’s called the wheel of fortune turns?"
At this moment, Gu Mo, sitting opposite, spoke slowly, "No, this is called those involved are unclear while bystanders see clearly."
Tuanzi and Gu Chi looked up at him simultaneously.
The young professor continued eating his steamed buns, as if he were an outsider.
Theoretically counting as outsiders, the two: "..."
Tuanzi and Gu Chi roared together: "You should pay more attention!"
Gu Mo tilted his head innocently, "?"
If Gu Mo hadn’t called the police, after finding out the truth, this matter should be explained by the school to the public. But now that Gu Mo called the police, the police will definitely issue a report.
The report pointed out two things: one was that student Wang held a grudge because he failed a course and maliciously spread rumors, and had done similar things before and succeeded. The other was that student Zheng spread falsehoods about his mentor threatening him not to graduate.
The school followed up with an announcement.
The announcement detailed the academic performance of Wang Jinhui, a junior, listing his attendance rate, usual grades, and final exam scores.
In addition, the announcement also listed the four batches of graduate students that Gu Mo had mentored. The first batch had four students, of which one had a delayed graduation, and the reason was explained. The second batch had three students with excellent grades and had met the requirements for next year’s defense. The third and fourth batches also had three students each, also with excellent grades, and had achieved good research results.
[Ah, so this is the truth]
[Because he failed a course, he resorted to spreading rumors when bribing the teacher didn’t work. Will such a person work well when entering society?]
[Less than thirty marks on the paper, and you expect the teacher to be merciful and let you pass]
[Our teachers usually let us pass if they can, but the premise is that our scores aren’t too unsightly. Below thirty marks, looks like he played throughout the semester]
[He managed to succeed in spreading rumors, isn’t it because some people are gullible]
[And about that graduate student, clearly he did not meet the defense requirements, yet he smeared his mentor. I think mentors really need to be careful when admitting students in the future]
[But indeed some mentors do threaten students]
[To the floor above, that’s a different issue. Some mentors deserve to be reprimanded, but Professor Gu shouldn’t be criticized. How many people indiscriminately abused him yesterday]
[What if the school is covering up for him, deliberately making the two students scapegoats]
[Is the person upstairs doubting the police? Why not become a police officer yourself and interrogate?]
[I’m more curious, who called the police? Was it the school? If so, what punishment will these two face]
[If it was the school that called the police, as said in the report, these two will be administratively detained for ten days]
[The cost of spreading rumors is really low, only ten days of detention?]
[No, no, no, it also depends on whether Gu Mo will sue them. If so, they’ll face other penalties and have to compensate]
[Ah, will they really be sued? Then aren’t the futures of these two ruined? Anyway, that professor wasn’t harmed, ten days of detention should suffice]
[I think there should be a lawsuit, to teach them a lesson. Besides, ruining their futures is their own doing]
Gu Chi was browsing the comments, becoming more and more irritated as he scrolled.
A small head suddenly popped over, blocking his phone screen, with big, bright eyes slightly bent.
"Miaomiao just heard, a lawyer has already accepted the commission."
At this moment, they were on their way to the drama group where Gu Che was filming.
The film city was in the neighboring city, so they drove there on the highway.
Having found the person who slandered Brother Gu Mo, Second Brother had prepared cakes and milk tea, which made Tuanzi very happy, her little legs swinging constantly.
Seeing Gu Chi smiling widely as if about to hit someone, she quickly moved over to calm him.
Gu Chi poked her little cheek; the soft flesh immediately dimpled.
"A commission has already been accepted, but we won’t announce this to the public."
Now, hopes of Gu Mo suing or not suing were evenly split. If they made a public statement, there would likely be many comments asking Gu Mo to forgive the two students.
Many people are like this; if they’re not hurt, they don’t feel pain. Or, even when seeing Gu Mo unharmed, they believe he wasn’t hurt, without considering that he was almost suspended for investigation because of this.
And even after this incident, some still believe in the saying ’flies don’t bite seamless eggs’, thinking Gu Mo has character flaws, which led to the slander by the two students.
Gu Chi’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes cold, "We have no obligation to explain to the public, just waiting for the final result."
Before long, those netizens would be surprised to find that they had filed a lawsuit, and the slanderers were punished. Whether it was the two students who spread rumors, unscrupulous promotion accounts, or those who continued to maliciously spread false information even after the police and school cleared Gu Mo’s name, all would be sued.
"That’s great, let’s not let them affect our mood anymore."
Tuanzi otter-facedly rubbed her face, "Not worth it, plus, if we’re in a bad mood, we fall for the bad guys’ tricks."
Gu Chi took a deep breath, "You’re right, this matter is concluded."
When they arrived at the filming set, Assistant Sun came over to receive them.
"Gu is still filming, let me take you there."
He handed the fruit tea and small cake to the three of them, even Assistant Xu Min who followed all the way was included.
Xu Min looked up, quickly glancing at Sun.
Tuanzi also smilingly accepted the fruit tea, vaguely sensing something. She raised her little head and looked up, the two assistants were no longer making eye contact.
"?"
She intended to ask, but the aroma of the cake kept tempting her, so she had to focus on the cake first.
"Can’t let the cake down," Tuanzi muttered to herself, "Must eat them quickly."
Gu Chi joked, "But what if I want to let the cake down?"
Tuanzi’s lips curled up then she tried hard to suppress them, pretending to be regretful, "Then it has to be solved by Miaomiao. Miaomiao will never let any cake down!"
Sea City.
Upon hearing that Zheng Pengcheng wanted to meet him, Gu Mo drove over.
The two looked at each other through the glass window.
Zheng Pengcheng, with a hoarse voice, asked, "Teacher, do you regret taking me as a student?"
Gu Mo: "?"
The young professor didn’t quite understand. He followed his heart and honestly replied, "No regrets."
He added his reason, "Back then, your grades were excellent, and you answered the interview questions very well. I believed you would achieve great results in astronomy."
Therefore, when Zheng Pengcheng wanted to choose him as a mentor, he agreed without hesitation. He also appreciated this student and had high hopes.
However, after enrolling, Zheng Pengcheng lost interest in his studies and repeatedly declined the research projects recommended by him.
Zheng Pengcheng’s pupils trembled, and he almost embarrassingly avoided Gu Mo’s gaze.
Actually, he chose Gu Mo as his mentor because he was young and he assumed Gu Mo would agree, thinking he could muddle through under his supervision.
Such a truth, he couldn’t bring himself to say.
