The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Another five minutes passed.
Finally, a post appeared on Su Hua's originally blank homepage.
[My name is Su Hua. I am the largest shareholder of Shangqing University and hold controlling rights. I unconditionally support student Lin Xuan in everything he does.]
The netizens: !!!
Holy crap!
Boss Su really registered a Weibo account just for Lin Xuan!
—Oh my god, am am am am I seeing things? Boss Su didn't use the company account for this, but verified a separate account specifically to clear things up for Lin Xuan.
—I smell something fishy. Could it be that the relationship between Boss Su and Lin Xuan isn't simple?
—Yes yes yes, I think so too. Boss Su is the President of the Su Group, and Lin Xuan is the person in charge of the Sky Curtain Group. They are simply too perfect a match!
—You guys stop dreaming. Boss Su supporting Lin Xuan is definitely because she values his talent; that's why she stands by him. Besides, she holds most of the shares of Shangqing University, and Lin Xuan has brought a lot of benefits to the university. Isn't it right for Boss Su to defend him?
—Exactly. Do you fans really think Lin Xuan is a heartthrob? Boss Su falling for him? How is that possible?
This last comment came from a guy who was jealous of Lin Xuan.
A look of disdain appeared on his face.
How could a strong career woman like Boss Su possibly fall for a boy younger than her like Lin Xuan?
Many people were discussing the matter between Lin Xuan and Su Hua.
Grandpa Jiang was also looking at Weibo.
Grandpa Jiang originally didn't use Weibo, but a servant in the Jiang family happened to mention that Lin Xuan was being scolded, and he heard it.
He asked the servant to help him register an account.
While browsing, he happened to see this post by Su Hua.
"That girl Su Hua is actually worthy of Little Xuan," Grandpa Jiang said, nodding.
However, Su Hua already had a boyfriend, so it was impossible for the two of them.
He both hoped Su Hua could be with Lin Xuan, and also hoped they wouldn't be together.
Su Hua was quite outstanding, always the perfect role model of a child. If Little Xuan could be with her, it would be quite nice.
But if they got together, that Old Man Su would definitely show off in front of him endlessly.
"Master, do you want to help the Young Master resolve the situation online?" the butler asked respectfully.
This could be said to be a good opportunity to get closer to the Young Master.
Mere words couldn't move Young Master Lin.
It had to be done with practical actions.
"No need," Grandpa Jiang said, shaking his head. "We shouldn't need to intervene; Little Xuan should be able to solve the matter himself."
As the boss of the Sky Curtain Group, solving this little issue would be a breeze for Little Xuan.
"Sigh."
Grandpa Jiang sighed. "Having a grandson who is too capable isn't necessarily a good thing."
Little Xuan could solve everything himself; there was simply no chance for him to show off.
The butler smiled. "Master, the Young Master is of Jiang stock. There are no Jiang family members who aren't formidable."
"That cunning streak in Little Xuan really does resemble us Jiangs," Grandpa Jiang laughed with satisfaction.
Lin Xuan was reading the comments cursing him online with great relish.
"These people have quite foul mouths," Lin Xuan lamented with a few tsk-tsks.
However, the more vigorously they cursed now, the harder the slap in the face would be later.
Next, he just needed to watch the show.
As Lin Xuan scrolled, a post suddenly popped up.
Looking at the content, his brows furrowed tightly.
It was actually Hua posting on Weibo to defend him.
He had originally intended to let things run their course; once the chip was developed, it would naturally prove them wrong.
However, he planned to investigate who was orchestrating all this from behind the scenes.
Now that Hua had stuck her neck out for him, he couldn't be a coward anymore.
Lin Xuan called Lei Hui.
"Boss," Lei Hui's voice was respectful.
Lin Xuan ordered expressionlessly, "Go tell these people about my ownership of shares in Shangqing University, and also that the R&D is funded by me."
"Okay, Boss," Lei Hui accepted the order.
After hanging up, Lei Hui immediately drafted a Weibo post and published it on the official account.
[Sky Curtain Group V: Our boss owns twenty percent of the shares of Shangqing University. Additionally, the R&D funding for the chip and photolithography machine projects is entirely provided by our boss. Not a single cent of the school's money was used.]
The Sky Curtain Group also attached records of project equipment purchases and bank transfers from this period to the post.
So, there was no way Lin Xuan embezzled research funds.
Shangqing University had been monitoring the Sky Curtain Group's movements.
The moment they posted, Shangqing University followed suit.
[Shangqing University V: Everything Boss Su and the Sky Curtain Group said is true. Additionally, to clarify, the participants in the chip and photolithography machine research project are not only students from Shangqing University but also include staff from the Su Group and the Sky Curtain Group, fifteen from each.]
The netizens: !!!!
Surprisingly, Lin Xuan didn't waste resources, nor did he embezzle...
Those words they just used to curse Lin Xuan... The netizens felt a stinging pain on their faces.
—Lin Xuan, I was wrong. I will never scold you again.
—Damn it! I really shouldn't have questioned Lin Xuan. Hiss—my face really hurts from this slap. Boohoo, Lin Xuan, I will support you unconditionally from now on.
—I told you my male god definitely had no issues, but you guys didn't believe me!
—Lin Xuan researching this project is at most wasting his own company's and the Su Group's resources. Since Boss Su already said she supports Lin Xuan unconditionally, even if the research fails, we probably can't say anything about him.
—Hmph, you guys have been brainwashed by Lin Xuan. How could there be nothing wrong? Don't forget, dozens of Shangqing University students are participating in the research. Isn't researching an impossible project a waste of their time? I bet they didn't want to participate in this project either, but were forced by the school.
The paid trolls consciously voted this comment to the top.
The Shangqing University students participating in the project research took to Weibo one after another to testify for Lin Xuan.
[My name is Lin Jingyue, a participant in Shangqing University's chip and photolithography machine project. Lin Xuan did not force us to research this project; it was all voluntary. Moreover, he promised that if we perform well in the project, we can work at the Su Group or the Sky Curtain Group after graduation.]
After hearing this promise from Lin Xuan, Lin Jingyue secretly swore an oath.
She must perform well.
If she could get a job at the Sky Curtain Group, she would have many opportunities to see her male god in the future.
Otherwise, after graduation, she would just be like those netizens; if she wanted to see her male god, she could only look at him online.

villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
