Ceremony Control Room.
"Didn't I tell you? I told you not to touch any switches before I got back! Just watching them was enough!"
"Now that there's a problem, they will definitely blame the three of us!"
"Even though you two didn't do it on purpose, you can't escape responsibility!"
The control room teacher stood in the corridor, severely scolding Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian.
Being scolded by the control room teacher, Bi Jian bowed his head, his face filled with a forced smile as he apologized, while Shu Yinyin stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest, completely indifferent.
At first, she pretended to be innocent and pitiful, but after being scolded a couple of times, she simply stopped pretending!
Her uncle was the dean, a senior leader at the school! Who would dare blame her?
And wasn't it true that Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were not seriously affected?
The song even finished!
Sadly, she did not succeed in ruining their performance.
Seeing Shu Yinyin's indifferent attitude, the control room teacher was furious.
He had been sitting properly in the control room when Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian suddenly came over claiming they wanted to help.
Caught by a sudden need to urinate, he didn't think much and temporarily handed over the control room to the two of them.
It turns out that in the short time, about three minutes, that he went to the restroom,
he came back to find that they had caused such a huge mess!
This time, even if he didn't lose his job, he reckoned his salary would be completely docked!
"Oh come on! Are you annoying or what! If there's a problem, just come find me! I'll take the blame!"
Shu Yinyin, tired of being scolded by the control room teacher, directly confronted him.
The control room teacher was stunned. How could Shu Yinyin be so arrogant?
Just because her uncle is the dean?
That's incredibly domineering!
He opened his mouth, about to angrily scold Shu Yinyin, when suddenly a cold snort sounded from behind him.
"Hmph, such outrageous talk from a girl! You'll take the blame, but can you really bear it?"
A thin, tall middle-aged woman, around forty-two or forty-three, wearing red semi-frame glasses and a formal dress, walked over.
"Assistant Qin!"
The control room teacher hurriedly called out.
The person before him was none other than Assistant Qin Hong, a leader directly under the principal and vice-principals, not someone a temporary media teacher in charge of the control room could compare to!
Of course, Dean Shu Fugai couldn't compare either!
In terms of authority, Qin Hong held considerably more power than Dean Shu!
Though both were directly managed by Principal Xue.
"Qin… Mrs. Qin, what brings you here...?"
Shu Yinyin certainly recognized Qin Hong, or she wouldn't have been the Haidong Image Ambassador for a year.
Her expression immediately became uneasy, and her hands awkwardly hung by her sides.

"Hmph, I came here because I heard someone making outrageous statements!"
Qin Hong let out another stern cold snort, not even mentioning that she had been sent by Principal Xue to understand the situation.
"Shu Yinyin, you really opened my eyes! Is this how you talk to a teacher? Shouting and yelling, what sort of behavior is this! Haidong Image Ambassador? If people from outside the school saw this, what would they think of Haidong University's image?"
Qin Hong pointed at Shu Yinyin's nose and scolded furiously, leaving Shu Yinyin not daring to utter a sound, showing none of the arrogance she had while speaking to the control room teacher.
Typical of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
"You have completely disgraced Dean Shu! Dean Shu, an artist of his generation, how could he have a niece as unreasonable and overbearing as you!"
Qin Hong was so angry she was practically gasping for breath.
Bi Jian quickly stepped forward to speak in favor of Shu Yinyin, trying to soothe Qin Hong, "Mrs. Qin, Yinyin usually speaks without thinking through, but she really does respect teachers in her heart!"
"She was just impatient just now, and misspoke a few words! Please let her off this time!"
Bi Jian, with his neck shrunk and a face full of smiles, seemed like a natural peacemaker.
"Hmm, you're no good either."
Qin Hong gave Bi Jian a dismissive glance and showed him no face.
Although she had little contact with Bi Jian, she had heard of some of his misdeeds.
However, Bi Jian was somewhat capable. In his freshman year, he had founded a company called Sword Barrier Network, and at that time, she had arranged a spot for Bi Jian in the Haidong University Student Science and Technology Innovation Park.
But she had heard from some students that Bi Jian's Sword Barrier Network was unscrupulously exploitative.
Furthermore, with rumors of his promiscuity, Qin Hong didn't like Bi Jian very much.
She believed that a student should first learn to be a good person!
Confronted by Qin Hong's rebuke, Bi Jian's face stiffened, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he suppressed it.
He awkwardly smiled and moved aside.
Having scolded Bi Jian, Qin Hong no longer felt like reprimanding Shu Yinyin.
"Speak up! What exactly did you two do? Do you know how damaging it would be to the school's image if news of an accident during the anniversary spread?"
Qin Hong slightly lifted her glasses with her right hand, her gaze scrutinizing.
That look was like two arrows, piercing directly into their hearts.
"I... we just meant well but messed up, we truly didn't intend to ruin the anniversary! We wouldn't dare!"
Shu Yinyin faltered under that gaze, stammering in her defense.
"Yes, yes, yes! Yinyin and I just wanted to help the ceremony control teacher, but it ended up a mistake!"
Bi Jian hurriedly echoed, rubbing his hands pleading for forgiveness, and casting meaningful glances at the nearby Ceremony Control teacher.
"Yes... they were indeed trying to help me out of goodwill; perhaps they were unfamiliar with the equipment and touched it by mistake!"
Recalling Bi Jian's sincerely apologetic attitude just moments ago, the Ceremony Control teacher also helped explain for the two.
But Qin Hong was not so easily fooled.
The Ceremony Control teacher did not know the tricks behind this, but she was well aware!
Bi Jian, Shu Yinyin, Gu Yu, and Lin Xinyue were currently competing for the role of Haidong University's Image Ambassador for the 20th cohort.
Mr. Jin from the publicity department had sponsored the "Campus Pop Idol Competition," and she, Qin Hong, had personally stamped the application!
These two pairs were in naked competition!
How could it be such a coincidence that when Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue took the stage, Bi Jian and Shu Yinyin happened to come to the Ceremony Control Room to help?
How eager were these two to assist?
They didn't even remove the clothes worn for a dance performance, nor did they take off their makeup before helping?
And it just so happened that when Gu Yu was singing, they accidentally pressed the button for the central lifting platform? Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Qin Hong would be the first not to believe that there weren't any underhanded tactics involved if there wasn't any tampering by these two!
"Stop making excuses. I suggest the two of you confess immediately, and then sincerely apologize to Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue. The school will strive to only give you a disciplinary warning."
"If you still firmly believe you are innocent, then let the police investigate! Haidong University will not slander anyone, nor will it protect anyone!"
"I'll give you one night to consider, and expect an answer from you tomorrow morning."
When mentioning the words 'slander' and 'protect,' Qin Hong deliberately emphasized her tone.
Her sharp eyes seemed to pierce directly through the innermost hearts of the two before her!
"Then let the police investigate!"
Upon hearing about the serious reprimand, Shu Yinyin's face darkened, and without thinking, she chose the latter option.
She was about to be named an Outstanding Student of the School!
How could she afford a slip-up at this time!?
She didn't believe the police could uncover anything in such matters!
"Don't be hasty, think it over well."
Qin Hong, expressionless, had no desire to waste more words on someone so obstinately misguided.
After speaking, she turned and left with another teacher.
