Chapter 261: Get Out!
Chapter 261: Get Out!
Jiangnan University, Zhang Wentao's Office.
As Li Wu was talking to Zhang Wentao, a middle-aged man in his forties barged into the room.
Li Wu and Zhang Wentao's faces turned pale, but the man acted as if he hadn't noticed and strode right in.
This man, named Hao Renyi, was the Academic Director of Jiangnan University.
As soon as he entered, he strode over to Li Wu, reaching out to grab his hand, but Li Wu took a step back to avoid him.
Unbothered, Hao Renyi spoke with heartfelt sincerity to Li Wu, "Student Li Wu, I understand how you feel.
With the expectations and support of your peers, you became the Student Council President, and you want to do something to repay them.
I understand your good intentions for these actions, and they are commendable.
I appreciate and am glad you have such a heart."
From the moment Hao Renyi spoke, it was clear he was an experienced bureaucrat.
He first acknowledged Li Wu's intentions, then continued, "But you lack experience and act without considering the consequences.
Let's take these two matters you're dealing with. For now, we won't discuss the first issue.
Let's talk about shutting down the Artificial Mystic Realm and opening it to students.
Do you know what this means?
It means the school will have to spend at least 10,000 points on this daily, which the school's finances simply can't support.
The current operation of the Artificial Mystic Realm, while a reluctant measure, is the best solution for now.
It brings in 30,000 points daily, becoming the lifeline for the school's survival. It can't be shut down.
If it stops, with the school's current finances, it might not last three months."
"Also, you haven't considered the current situation at Jiangnan University.
Yes, there might be some internal disciplinary issues, but that's not the most pressing concern. The most crucial issue is the external threat.
Jiangbei's desire to annex Jiangnan hasn't faded, and we should focus on preserving Jiangnan, not turning our school upside down."
Hao Renyi continued with a pained expression, "Student Li Wu, listen to me. Stop this ruckus, or else, with one misstep, Jiangnan University will be destroyed by your hands."
It's worth mentioning that this guy had impressive lung capacity.
He spoke this entire speech without taking a breath.
His performance was quite compelling and infectious, even affecting the excited Zhang Wentao a little.
Unfortunately, a certain unmentionable part of his body wasn't very clean.
"You've said a lot, and it's all well said, but there are still some things I don't understand."
After his dramatic performance, Li Wu put down his phone and applauded.
With sincerity, he engaged Hao Renyi on another matter, "Your name is Hao Renyi, right?"
"Yes, it's me!" Hao Renyi was taken aback.
Li Wu narrowed his eyes, "I'd like to ask, where did the 850,000 points you took from the Student Council in the past six months go?"
Hearing this, Hao Renyi's face turned grim.
"Student Li Wu, don't make baseless accusations. I, Hao, have never taken a single point from the Student Council."
Li Wu replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "You didn't take it, but when I checked your information, I also looked at your students and teaching assistants. Unfortunately, their names are on the bill I just saw.
The 850,000 points I mentioned were spent by them under the guise of research for three different projects.
I'm quite interested in their research projects and would like to know why the Butterfly Insect Color Change Project, the Chameleon Dragon Color Fixation Project, and the Hundred-Leaf Grass Juice Medicine Project required 850,000 points over three years.
Please inform them to prepare their research logs and reports, as I may ask for them at any time."
"Hao Renyi's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly opened his mouth to explain, "Student Lu Wu, you..."
"Shut up!"
Before Hao Renyi could finish his sentence, Lu Wu interrupted him.
"Director Hao, I don't want to hear any of your explanations right now. In a couple of days, I'll hold a special meeting, and you can talk to me then."
"Now, get out of my sight immediately!"
Lu Wu's thunderous 'get out' left Hao Renyi's face ashen.
If it were any other Student Council President, Hao Renyi would have already made a scene.
Unfortunately, it was Lu Wu standing before him.
Not only was Lu Wu the youngest Master Breeder in history, but he also had the backing of Jiang Yuexing, Zhang Wentao, and others.
Hao Renyi didn't dare confront Lu Wu directly.
He had only come to assert his authority over Lu Wu, but now that he saw it wasn't working, he could only hold his nose and leave.
As Lu Wu watched Hao Renyi leave, he turned back to Zhang Wentao.
"Sorry, Uncle Zhang, I took the liberty," Lu Wu apologized.
"It's fine! It's fine!" Zhang Wentao was particularly excited at this moment. Lu Wu had done something he had always wanted to do but never dared to.
Zhang Wentao was well aware of the internal issues at the school, and he understood the reasons behind the situation.
The primary cause was the weakness of Jiangnan University, and Jiangbei University was always ready to pounce.
In recent years, they had barely managed to survive with the educational resources based on the university rankings.
And the university rankings were determined by various indicators.
The results of the University League were one of the indicators, but not the only ones.
Another aspect was faculty strength, which was also a criterion for university rankings.
It was for this reason that Zhang Wentao couldn't deal with people like Hao Renyi, even though he was aware of their existence.
If he took action, whether through dismissal or their voluntary resignation, it would significantly impact Jiangnan University's ranking.
This was why Zhang Wentao had always tolerated them.
Regarding this, Zhang Wentao only shared the information with Lu Wu after sending Hao Renyi away.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu's mind buzzed.
A massive problem was now right in front of him.
Should he continue?
If he did, how would he handle the university's ranking if he dealt with those teachers?
If he didn't continue, it would be embarrassing to back down now after making such a bold statement.
Lu Wu felt a slight headache and complained, "Uncle Zhang, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"I thought you already knew," Zhang Wentao said innocently.
"Even if I did know, do you think I could solve this problem?"
"Yes! If it's you, you'll definitely be able to solve it!"
Zhang Wentao nodded firmly.
He now had complete faith in Lu Wu.
In his eyes, Lu Wu was synonymous with miracles.
Ever since meeting Lu Wu, he had been witnessing miracles.
When Lu Wu first arrived in Fucheng, he was a limited amateur breeder, but he ended up teaching breeders who were several levels above him.
He even nurtured dozens of professional breeders.
Then came the high school league, followed by the Bone Soup incident, and Lu Wu's rise to a Master Breeder, suppressing the Gu Tian father and son.
From the moment Zhang Wentao met Lu Wu, he had never seen him stumped by any difficulty.
He believed that Lu Wu could overcome this challenge for Jiangnan University as well.
In this regard, Zhang Wentao had more confidence than Lu Wu.
Lu Wu could only sigh and rub his nose as he looked at the old man, "Alright, you're right!"
