The President sat on the sofa, looking like a man who had completely lost his soul.
He never expected the clarification to come so quickly.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that the investigation hadn't traced the mastermind back to him yet.
But even if he were exposed, he was the president of a public university; those people likely couldn't touch him.
"Lin Xuan! Shangqing University! You'd better hope I never catch you slipping up!"
Otherwise, he absolutely would not let them off!
***
Shangqing University.
Chen Ling had been out sick all morning and hadn't gone online, so she was unaware of the situation regarding Lin Xuan.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard several girls discussing it.
"Those people actually dared to slander and frame our idol. Why would Lin Xuan embezzle such a pitiful amount of research funds? Isn't that a joke?"
"Exactly. Our idol spends his own money on research. Who are they to point fingers?"
"I really feel for Lin Xuan, getting scolded like that for no reason."
Chen Ling's heart jumped.
Did something happen to Brother Lin Xuan?
She hurriedly took out her phone and opened Weibo.
The top trending topic was Lin Xuan.
She clicked on it.
Seeing the content, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it's already been cleared up."
Many of those who had cursed Brother Lin Xuan had already apologized.
Wanting to understand the situation fully, Chen Ling scrolled through the trending topics one by one.
A glaring hashtag appeared on the list.
#SuHuaLinXuan#
Chen Ling frowned deeply.
Hadn't the fact that that vixen was with Brother Lin Xuan been kept within the school?
Did that vixen use some trick to let everyone know she was with Brother Lin Xuan?
No!
Chen Ling shook her head.
How could outsiders know about their relationship?
They should keep it this way, keeping their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship strictly hidden from the public.
With a heart full of apprehension, Chen Ling clicked on the hashtag.
Seeing that netizens were only guessing at the relationship between Lin Xuan and Su Hua, and asking why Su Hua had posted a Weibo specifically for him, Chen Ling relaxed.
Good, the netizens didn't know the truth yet.
However...
Chen Ling stared at her phone with dark eyes.
"Hah, a good match? Su Hua, that vixen, is so domineering. How is she a good match for Brother Lin Xuan?"
A successful man like Brother Lin Xuan was suited for a gentle and submissive woman like herself.
Several girls nearby heard Chen Ling's words.
They immediately retorted, "How are Lin Xuan and President Su not a match? One is peerlessly handsome, the other is incredibly beautiful. They're both extremely capable, being the head of Sky Curtain Group and the President of Su Group respectively. They are a perfect match."
Although they also liked Lin Xuan and wanted to be with him, his girlfriend was President Su, so they had zero chance.
They could only "ship" the couple.
Hearing their words, Chen Ling twitched her lips in disdain.
She simply didn't feel that vixen was worthy of Brother Lin Xuan.
A capable man who had built his own career like Brother Lin Xuan didn't need a woman who was just as powerful as he was.
He needed a virtuous wife and loving mother who could take care of his daily life, allowing him to focus on his career outside.
"Chen Ling, you like Lin Xuan, don't you?" another girl said, staring at her.
"So what if I do?" Chen Ling answered without hesitation. "Brother Lin Xuan is so outstanding, and we are childhood sweethearts. Isn't it normal for me to like him?"
"It is normal," the girl nodded. "But from what you're saying, it sounds like you want to interfere in the relationship between Student Lin Xuan and President Su."
"Chen Ling, I advise you to keep it to your thoughts. Don't actually try anything. President Su isn't someone you can mess with casually."
After saying that, the girl sat back in her seat.
She had warned Chen Ling.
If Chen Ling got dealt with by President Su later, she would only have herself to blame.
Chen Ling scoffed internally.
These people had the nerve to lecture her?
Didn't they like Brother Lin Xuan too?
It was just that they knew they were too ugly and Brother Lin Xuan would never fall for them, so they didn't act on it.
She was different.
She was beautiful, and she was his childhood sweetheart. When her father died, Brother Lin Xuan had promised to take care of her.
She had a huge chance of being with him.
How could she possibly give up and do nothing?
Sooner or later, she would become the only woman by Brother Lin Xuan's side!

Wang Dahe was also constantly refreshing Weibo.
"What are you looking at?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.
Wang Dahe replied, "I'm waiting for the drama to unfold."
"Drama? What drama?" Luo Yuan grew even more curious.
Wang Dahe answered, "President Su likes Xuanzi so much. Now that she knows Xuanzi was slandered and framed, she'll definitely investigate. Just wait. It won't be long before someone gets dealt with."
Suddenly, a new topic appeared on Weibo.
It consisted of only six words: President of Yundu University.
Wang Dahe frowned.
He hadn't expected that the mastermind behind Lin Xuan's trouble was the President of Yundu University.
He rubbed his chin.
Lin Li was a student at Yundu University. When Lin Li was still studying there, he was highly valued by the university leadership.
He wanted to see exactly what was up with this university president.
Wang Dahe clicked on the topic.
Seeing the content...
He thought his eyes were deceiving him and rubbed them.
He realized he hadn't seen it wrong!
The smear campaign against Xuanzi today was primarily the handiwork of the Yundu University President.
He was the one who hired the paid trolls and bought the trending topics.
"President Su is amazing. She actually dug up a big fish like the Yundu University President so quickly."
Luo Yuan exclaimed, "Dahe, you really called it."
Wang Dahe waved his hand. "No big deal. I just have a thorough understanding of President Su's capabilities and her affection for Xuanzi."
Other students in the class also saw the trending topic and began to discuss it spiritedly.
"This Yundu University President is too shameless, actually daring to slander a student."
"Hey, why do you guys think the president would do this to Lin Xuan? Do they have a grudge?"
"What grudge could they have? He's a university president; he probably hasn't even met Lin Xuan, let alone been offended by him. My guess? Lin Xuan is just too awesome and has brought so many benefits to our school. The Yundu President couldn't stand seeing our school developing so well. Seeing a chance to blacken the names of Lin Xuan and Shangqing University, he just seized the opportunity."
"My god, if what you're saying is true, then Yundu University is disgusting."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
