Chapter 262: You'll Be Here!

As Zhang Wentao left, Hao Renyi immediately departed from the Academic Building, leaving the school and entering a private room in a training facility near the campus.

When Hao Renyi arrived, there were already several people waiting inside the private room.

As soon as they saw Hao Renyi approach, they hurriedly asked with concern, "How's the situation?"

Hao Renyi shook his head, "It's not looking good. Lu Wu's attitude is very firm, and it seems he's not planning to let this go."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became anxious.

"What should we do now?"

"How can we continue with him acting like this? My summoned beast still needs over 120,000 resources to advance to Overlord!"

"Also, do you think he'll deal with us?"

The people in the private room were in disarray.

Hao Renyi raised his eyebrows and slapped the table, "Everyone, stop panicking!"

"Director Hao, with Mr. Lu causing such a mess, how can we not be worried?

Life is already tough, and with this, we'll be completely ruined.

We might even end up in trouble if we're not careful."

"In trouble?" Hao Renyi smiled at this.

"Don't worry, there are over a dozen of us here, and those who didn't come are countless.

With so many people, it would be a huge blow to Jiangnan University if even just three or five of us were to be implicated, let alone all of us.

As long as they want to protect Jiangnan University, they won't dare to do anything to us."

This was the source of Hao Renyi's confidence.

"So, you don't need to panic either.

Just do what you need to do. Isn't Lu Wu the one who wants to investigate? Go back and prepare the relevant documentation.

As long as we have reasonable and appropriate reasons, he won't be able to do anything to us."

At this moment, someone else spoke up.

"But what if we don't have a good reason?"

Hmm, so many people have been taking points, and this has been going on for several years. When it was time to take the money, they would find any excuse. Now, several years have passed.

Many of their excuses will no longer be valid."

"That's not a problem either. If we don't have a valid excuse, we can have an emotionally appealing one.

As long as we find some emotionally appealing excuses and offer some blood, we can bribe him with a little money, and this time's issue will basically be resolved."

Hearing that they only needed to offer some blood, many were reluctant.

Hao Renyi had to patiently persuade them, "Come on, be more open-minded. When faced with such a situation, no one can do anything.

Who are we compared to him? If this were in Jiangbei, we'd only be considered his servants.

Now that he's in high spirits, we can only endure a little.

Bribe him with some money, and let him have his way. Also, don't worry too much; he doesn't dare to do anything to us.

When I was in the Principal's Office, he brought up all the projects I was working on.

This was not only to embarrass me but also a hint, a hint that we should go bankrupt to avoid disaster."

"What's scary is his huge appetite."

"Then we'll all confess and see if he dares to punish us!"

In just a few sentences, Hao Renyi set the tone for their response, and everyone in the private room left to get busy, each preparing for this sudden test.

They had to coordinate with the Student Union and Lu Wu to be ready when Lu Wu made his move.

...

Both sides were working intensely.

In terms of speed, the Student Union was ultimately a little faster.

Under Lu Wu's instructions, Wen Mingzhi gathered a dozen cadres and reviewed the account books for the past five years.

They listed all the names and amounts of money taken from the Student Union in the past five years."

When Wen Mingzhi handed the list to Zhang Wentao, Zhang Wentao almost had a heart attack.

"In just five years, they took 21.45 million from the Student Union!"

Not long ago, Zhang Wentao had been delighted when his Beast Soul exploded, earning him 10 million points.

But he never expected that Hao Renyi and the others had skimmed off so much.

On the other hand, Lu Wu seemed quite calm; just this year's first half alone was over 3 million, and in five years, it was over 21.45 million? Lu Wu didn't think it was a lot.

It was only about the annual revenue of his company.

After Zhang Wentao finished reviewing, Lu Wu returned the list to Wen Mingzhi.

"Senior Wen, post this list."

Wen Mingzhi was stunned.

Post it? What does that mean? Where should it be posted? At this moment, Lu Wu turned to Zhang Wentao and said, "Principal, let's hold a meeting in the Great Hall, and notify all teachers and students to attend!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Mingzhi, who hadn't fully processed what was happening, was even more confused.

Lu Wu was clearly planning to attack these teachers in front of the entire school, and this behavior seemed a bit crazy.

If things didn't go well, what would be the outcome? Lu Wu hadn't considered this.

As the previous Student Council President, Wen Mingzhi was well aware of the school's current situation.

Lu Wu's bold move to shame the teachers had pushed them to their limits. How would Lu Wu handle this situation?

Even if Lu Wu was exceptional, could he handle so many teachers at once?

Even if Lu Wu succeeded in dealing with these teachers, what about the school's side? Wen Mingzhi was extremely anxious.

But he also knew that his words carried little weight, and Lu Wu didn't seem like someone who would listen to him.

He could only pin his hopes on Zhang Wentao.

However, as Wen Mingzhi's thoughts turned, he realized that Zhang Wentao wouldn't be of much help. This old man wouldn't be able to persuade Lu Wu.

In fact, would this old man even try to dissuade Lu Wu?

Wen Mingzhi was so excited that he felt like flying. His mind was racing with ideas.

What else could he do when even the principal was like this? Wen Mingzhi could only worry.

But for some reason, despite his concerns, Wen Mingzhi's steps became more determined and brisk.

His anxious heart seemed to have a force stirring within.

Indeed, a young man should be passionate and spirited. Wen Mingzhi had sat in the president's position for years, and he was thoroughly sick of this situation.

However, he lacked the ability and courage to change anything. He could only ensure he didn't compromise and strive to fight for the students' interests within the limited space.

The days were incredibly frustrating.

He had long wished for someone to stand up, ride on a rainbow cloud, wield a magical staff, and sweep away all the evil spirits.

Now that person had appeared, but he worried that they might fail, that they might bring down the school with their actions.

It wasn't until Lu Wu explicitly stated his intentions that Wen Mingzhi clearly saw the situation he had to face and couldn't change. Only then did his worries subside, and his enthusiasm began to rise.

Soon, the student council posted the list.

At the same time, the school also issued a notice.

On September 5th, at 9 a.m., there would be an event in the school's great hall, and all teachers and students must attend, regardless of any reasons or excuses.

The list and the notice were released together.

The entire school was in an uproar once more.

The students were confused and didn't understand the situation at first.

The teachers' reactions, however, were more intense.

Everyone understood that Lu Wu was about to publicly shame them.

"What's he doing? What does Lu Wu want? Does he want all the teachers to lose face?"

"After he does this, what face will we have left to continue teaching here?"

Some teachers with fiery personalities slammed their desks.

"I'm not going. I'm definitely not going to the great hall. I'll just stay in my office. Let him do whatever he wants."

This idea gained approval from many teachers.

After all, no one was foolish enough to willingly offer their face to be slapped by Lu Wu.

...

Before long, the time arrived—5th, 9 a.m.

The students gathered in the great hall, and almost all of them were present.

After a day of anticipation, they understood that this was Lu Wu's doing, his first bold move after taking office. It was to fight for their rights.

Therefore, almost all the students were in attendance.

However, there were fewer teachers present.

Aside from a few teachers with a clear conscience and those with minor offenses, the majority of the teachers didn't show up.

Even Hao Renyi, who had initially agreed to give Lu Wu face, didn't come.

In Hao Renyi's opinion, Lu Wu was being too presumptuous.

So, they couldn't let Lu Wu get away with it; they needed to give him a warning.

They wanted Lu Wu to understand that face is something you earn, and if it's not given to you, you can't pick it up even if you try.

However, Lu Wu didn't seem to mind this situation.

Once the students were assembled and the time arrived, Lu Wu began the event.

Lu Wu himself took the stage.

"Hello, fellow students and teachers. I am Lu Wu, the Student Council President.

I'll briefly explain why I've gathered everyone here today.

There are mainly two matters. The first concerns the artificial mystic realm in the challenge zone.

Previously, the student council managed the artificial mystic realm, which was not open to the public.

This is because Jiangnan University is facing financial difficulties, and resources are needed to support the operation of the artificial mystic realm. Therefore, during this special period and under special conditions, we had to take this reluctant measure.

After years of operation, the Artificial Mystic Realm Area has generated substantial resources for Jiangnan University. Therefore, I announce the cessation of the Mystic Realm's external services.

Moving forward, the Artificial Mystic Realm Area will gradually open to our students.

The specific opening date and conditions will be notified, but it will not exceed half a month at the latest!"

Lu Wu's initial statement ignited the enthusiasm in the Great Hall.

Over the years, the students of Jiangnan University had endured countless hardships.

Their own Challenge Zone and Mystic Realm were inaccessible to them due to financial constraints, while outsiders could freely enter and exit with money. Only a few tens of thousands could squeeze in daily, with only 15 Natural Mystic Realms available out of over a hundred slots.

Now, the Artificial Mystic Realm has finally been reclaimed, and they finally have hope of entering the Mystic Realm for training.

How could these students not be delighted?

However, someone quickly poured cold water on their excitement.

"Lu Wu, your idea is good, but where will the funds for operating the Mystic Realm come from? As far as I know, the Student Union account currently has less than 3,000 points, right? Operating the Artificial Mystic Realm requires at least 10,000 points daily. Are these points sufficient for a day's operation?"

This was a professional baiter.

With just one sentence, he stirred up the emotions of the entire student body.

"What's going on? Weren't we just saying that the Student Union made a fortune from the Artificial Mystic Realm? How come there are only 3,000 points left now?"

"Does the Student Union have any money at all?"

"Can the Artificial Mystic Realm still open?"

The most distressing and frustrating aspect is not the lack of access but the sudden loss of what was about to be gained.

The students were on edge.

With emotions running high and Lu Wu's earlier setup, it was easy to stir up the crowd.

He had already made the list public earlier.

Every student who passed the exam to enter the Summoner University was not a fool. They quickly understood where the money had gone.

In an instant, the students' emotions were ignited.

"I thought a project would require hundreds of thousands for research, but it turns out to be blatant embezzlement."

"These people are too much, sucking the school dry."

"They must be severely punished!"

...

As the emotions in the underground reached their peak, Lu Wu raised his hand to calm the students.

"Everyone, please calm down. You don't need to worry about the resources for operating the Artificial Mystic Realm. Since I've brought it up, I will find a solution. If it's truly impossible, I will personally fund it."

"Let's set aside the operation of the Artificial Mystic Realm for now and discuss the second matter."

Lu Wu continued, bringing up the list.

"The list in my hand shows the project funds transferred from the Student Union account over the past five years.

As the President of the Student Union, I have the qualifications and authority to supervise and review these funds to ensure they are used appropriately. Today, I want to take this opportunity to review each expenditure from start to finish."

"First is Dean Hao Renyi. In five years, 13 projects under his supervision have been established by his students and assistant teachers, diverting 9.41 million from the Student Union account.

I now need to review these 13 projects, so Dean Hao, please provide the relevant documentation for these projects."

Lu Wu's words hung in the air without a response.

"It seems Dean Hao is absent? No problem, let's contact him remotely."

Lu Wu called Dean Hao Renyi.

With the speakerphone on, waiting for Dean Hao to answer, the first call went unanswered.

"No problem, he might be busy."

Unconcerned, Lu Wu called again, but there was still no answer.

Lu Wu remained silent and tried calling once more.

The third call also went unanswered.

This infuriated the students, and it wasn't until the fourth call that Dean Hao finally picked up.

"Hello, is this Lu Wu? Sorry, I have something urgent on my end, so I can't make it to the Great Hall."

Dean Hao's tone carried a mixture of nonchalance, flippancy, and audacity.

With the confrontation already underway, there was no need for pretense.

His attitude ignited the students' emotions, but Lu Wu remained unperturbed.

"No problem, you'll be here!"

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the phone, and soon after, two people appeared out of thin air in the hall: Lu Wu's bodyguard and Dean Hao, looking like a defeated fool.

...

The next two chapters will be released together later tonight.
