Chapter 125: Chapter 92 Decisive Slaughter (Extra Chapter 2 for Alliance Leader I'm from the Galaxy)_2

"Fine, let's do as you say. Right now, people are misinformed. But if the school makes a clarification and someone still dares to slander Qiao Ze and Li online, then we'll handle it this way—is that okay?"

"I... Chengzi, as you said yourself, Qiao Ze isn't even considering this. Plus, libel and slander on the internet is a tort case, if you really want to send someone to jail, either Qiao Ze or Professor Li would have to issue a power of attorney, right? Did you ask if they would go along with your reckless actions?"

"I don't need to! I just looked it up online! Our research team is a single entity, they slandered our collective achievements. And I, Su Mucheng, am the only investor in this project! As the investor, it's perfectly reasonable for me to entrust a lawyer to sue if the defamation of our results has caused me losses, right?"

"And I just checked, spreading rumors online that damage a company's reputation can also be considered libelous! For example, you can tell Yu that Youwei Group can testify for us, saying that because of the defamation, they became more hesitant in project cooperation, leading to less money being approved.

That way, we can prove that online comments have caused actual losses to me as the investor—is there a problem with that?!"

"..."

"Why aren't you speaking? Dad, where's your audacity? Is a matter so trivial making you hesitate?"

"Alright, alright, you're right! So, how much money are you planning to spend on this?"

"Uh... a budget of two hundred million, is that enough to send maybe two hundred people to jail? That should cover it, right?"

"Two hundred million? Two hundred people? Su Mucheng, are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea what two hundred million, two hundred people means?"

"Of course I do! Our basic mathematics classes have eighty students, which perfectly fills up a medium-sized lecture room... 200 times 2.5 is enough! As for the two hundred million, let me tell you, Comrade Su Lixing, I'm the sole investor in Qiao Ze's project, entitled to a ten percent return.

Don't tell me you're not aware that ten percent of the profits, after taxes, amounts to less than two hundred million. Is there a problem with me using my own earned money to stand up for my boyfriend? Or are you saying... you want a piece of my money?"

"I..." Clearly, the comment from his daughter had successfully provoked the 'daughter-con', but he quickly calmed down again: "Chengzi, listen to Daddy, this isn't as simple as you think."

"Oh? Then tell me how complicated it is? So your rules mean that justice is inherently meant to yield to evil, correct?"

"Never mind... Chengzi, let Daddy handle this. I'll go all out to fight for you, okay?"

"Hmph, I'll be watching. If you don't help put away a dozen or twenty people, I'll do it myself! Bye! I'm hanging up, no more talk!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Su Lixing wasn't sure whether to be angry or happy.

It was as if his obedient daughter had grown up overnight, and even showed great decisiveness.

If one could overlook the willful element, the decisiveness she exhibited in just a few sentences was indeed commendable to Su Lixing.

Most people don't have that kind of courage.

"President Yu, President Su, allow me to introduce Chen Yuanzhi, the president of Xilin University of Technology," Li Jiangao said as he approached the trio.

"President Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is actually our first encounter, but I am quite familiar with President Zhao Xiaozhuo," Yu Hongwei greeted.

The Zhao Xiaozhuo he mentioned was the former president of Xilin University of Technology, who had since transferred to another institution.

"President Yu, I've heard a lot about you. I've known President Zhao for many years as well. We must sit down and have a chat when there's a chance," Chen Yuanzhi stated as he looked at Yu Hongwei with certainty—it was indeed that person. He also began to understand the reason for Xu Dajiang's confidence.

At that moment, Chen's heart was filled with a mix of three parts annoyance, three parts frustration, and four parts caution.

He had underestimated the leadership of the schools beneath him. He had thought he knew every little thing happening in the university, but it turned out they were quite cunning with their own little schemes. Their moves were many, and he had been enlightened. Some people needed to be kept in check, or else they might start to think too highly of themselves.

Li Jiangao, however, couldn't be bothered with guessing the thoughts of these high-ranking officials from the colleges and the university. He simply proceeded with the introductions methodically: "This is the investor of the Qiao Ze project and the chairman of Licheng Software, Mr. Su Lixing."

"Mr. Su, thank you for your support of our School of Mathematics project," Chen Yuanzhi said, with an added air of propriety.

Of course, this was the usual protocol. Truth be told, Su Lixing's actions were akin to cutting in line.

"President Chen, it's good to meet you."

"Let me introduce you to two more people: this is Zheng Luhua, the vice president of our university, and this is Xu Dajiang, the dean of our School of Mathematics."

"Hello, hello."

"A pleasure to meet you."

After a round of polite small talk, everyone finally took their seats at the table.

As the server brought tea, the conversation began.

"We are grateful for President Yu's support of the mathematics faculty at Xilin University of Technology. Ah, I've heard that your visit this time is because you see promise in a project developed by one of our students?"

"Yes, President Chen. The Qiao Ze project has already been tested. If we can collaborate, it will surely be a formidable partnership, elevating the experience of the upcoming product from Youwei Group to a new level."

"Haha, I understand, a significant lead, right?"

A single joke sent the entire conference room into laughter.

However, it was indeed difficult to tell how much of the laughter was genuine and how much was feigned.

There's no helping it; in the world of adults, the lines between good and bad are always blurred.
