Chapter 282: She's Your Sister!
Chapter 282: She's Your Sister!
Jiangnan University's medical facilities were quite impressive, especially after Lu Wu took over.
The original medical room was expanded into a full-fledged medical department, with a dedicated building constructed and a top-notch medical team hired from outside. Every aspect was meticulously planned and executed.
The primary intention was to complement the task system.
Little did anyone expect that the longest-staying patients in the new facility would be Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kaiming.
When Lu Wu arrived with Li Mingrui, he found the two elderly men, dressed in hospital gowns, playing chess together.
Upon seeing Lu Wu enter, they were both surprised and delighted.
Zhang Wentao, in particular, was overjoyed.
He grabbed Lu Wu's hand and exclaimed, "I couldn't sleep a wink during your disappearance. Now that you're back, I can finally get some rest."
"You don't look like someone who's been losing sleep," Lu Wu remarked. "I heard about your old injury flaring up, and I was worried. But seeing you now, you seem to be doing well. You've gained some weight, and your complexion looks much better. Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Zhang Wentao assured him.
"That's good to hear. How about you, Uncle Zhao? How are you doing?" Lu Wu asked.
"I'm almost fully recovered. I can jump and run around. I should be able to leave the hospital soon," Zhao Kaiming replied. "How have you been for the past month?"
"I'm doing great. I can eat and sleep well," Lu Wu said.
In the hospital room, Lu Wu chatted with the two old men while Dudu, sitting nearby, peeled some fruit. One of the men casually picked up an apple and took a bite.
The only person who remained silent was Li Mingrui.
He stood like a wooden statue, not engaging in the conversation at all. Neither Zhang Wentao nor Zhao Kaiming paid him any attention, especially Zhang Wentao, who gave him a cold stare.
It was clear that during Lu Wu's absence, there had been some unpleasantness between the two old men.
After about half an hour, Lu Wu finished examining the two men and confirmed that they were in good health. Only then did he leave the hospital room.
As he exited, Lu Wu glanced at Li Mingrui and said calmly, "Resign from your position as principal. I don't see you as the right person for the job."
With that cryptic statement, Lu Wu left, leaving Li Mingrui alone in the corridor.
Li Mingrui understood why Lu Wu had said those words.
He was the one who had informed Zhao Kaiming about Jin Lihai, and he was also responsible for aggravating Zhang Wentao's old injury during Lu Wu's absence.
Upon Lu Wu's return, he had brought Li Mingrui to see Zhang Wentao and Zhao Kaiming first, intending to decide on an appropriate punishment based on their conditions.
Now, Lu Wu had delivered his verdict: Li Mingrui should resign from his position as principal.
This was a graceful way out for Li Mingrui.
He was faced with a choice: to comply with Lu Wu's decision or to resist.
A month ago, this decision might have been difficult for Li Mingrui.
However, at this point, it was not a challenging choice.
Li Mingrui was well aware that any resistance on his part would only lead to an undignified outcome for himself.
So, with a heavy sigh, he turned and walked away, his shoulders drooping with dejection, towards the academic affairs building.
This was the current state of Lu Wu's control over Jiangnan University.
As the university thrived under his influence, it also fell completely under his command.
Even Li Mingrui, who had been a part of Jiangnan University for decades, could not withstand Lu Wu's single word.
On the same day, Li Mingrui announced his resignation as the principal of Jiangnan University.
Normally, the resignation of a university principal would be a significant event.
However, few people seemed to care about this news.
Everyone's attention was focused on Lu Wu's return.
Lu Wu's comeback was a major event for Jiangnan University and the entire summoner world.
Numerous media outlets were quick to reach out to Jiangnan University, eager to interview Lu Wu about his mysterious disappearance and the events of the past month.
This was undoubtedly a hot news story.
But Lu Wu had no time for interviews at that moment.
In less than a month, the entire Jiangnan University had descended into chaos.
With Zhang Wentao's old injury resurfacing and Li Mingrui's resignation, the burden of managing the university now rested solely on Lu Wu's shoulders.
Even after resolving these immediate issues, Lu Wu wouldn't have any leisure time.
Previously, when he was taken away, the university's ongoing competition and open day had been halted.
While the cancellation of the open day wasn't a significant issue, the suspension of the competition needed to be addressed.
Additionally, the production of the Steel Armor Wild Boar Evolution Gift Pack and the Snowman Doll Evolution Gift Pack had to continue.
With so much on his plate, how could Lu Wu find time for interviews?
However, these problems weren't as daunting as they seemed.
Without Lu Wu, each of these issues would have been monumental. But with his return, they merely kept him busy for a while.
Within just three days, Lu Wu had resolved all these issues.
The once chaotic Jiangnan University was back on track.
Zhang Wentao, who had been 'relapsing' due to Li Mingrui, finally returned to assist Lu Wu with administrative matters.
Just as Lu Wu was about to have some free time, Jiangbei University had another task for him.
Jiangnan University, Principal's Office.
"Well, this time, apart from the study abroad exchange, I also have a mission."
Zhou Qingyun sat on the sofa, looking at Lu Wu with a nervous expression.
His hesitant demeanor made Lu Wu instinctively sense that he might not be bringing good news.
Beside him, Old Zhang subconsciously covered the account book he was holding, his intuition telling him that Jiangbei was after money.
In the one-six-one-nine-one-book-one-look-no-mistake version!
Indeed, Old Zhang's guess was spot-on.
"Well, Jiangbei University is also undergoing reforms, and we're facing some financial issues. We were hoping that if it's convenient for Jiangnan University, you could repay some of the funds."
Jiangbei University's original strategy for Jiangnan University was to absorb it.
If Jiangnan University's ranking wasn't satisfactory next year, Jiangbei would initiate a liquidation process and directly absorb Jiangnan University.
But now, Jiangnan University had Lu Wu, a demonic-level talent.
In just three months, Jiangnan University had risen from the mud.
The Jiangnan Shopping Mall was thriving, and with the current situation, it was clear that Jiangbei's attempt to swallow Jiangnan was impossible.
Therefore, Jiangbei could only focus on the money for now.
Lu Wu wasn't surprised by this.
"How much do you need?"
Jiangbei, of course, wanted as much as they could get.
Zhou Qingyun cautiously said, "If we could repay the full amount, that would be ideal."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Wentao immediately reacted.
"Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!"
What a joke, in the past three months, although Jiangnan University had made some profit.
Most of it had been spent.
Moreover, Lu Wu had been kidnapped for over a month, and during this time, the two main products in the mall were selling well, while other products could only cover the current expenses.
There wasn't much money left in the account.
Forget about five billion, even fifty million was beyond Jiangnan's reach at the moment.
Zhang Wentao glanced at the account book and said through gritted teeth, "The most we can repay is twenty million!"
This was the best he could do, and it made Zhou Qingyun's scalp tingle.
In fact, before coming, Jiangbei had estimated Jiangnan's financial situation.
They had thought that given Jiangnan University's extravagant spending in the past three months, there wouldn't be much money left in the account. But they hadn't expected that they could still offer twenty million."
This showed how wealthy Jiangnan was at the moment.
However, these twenty million were unlikely to satisfy Jiangbei.
And Jiangbei's real intention wasn't just for Jiangnan University's twenty million.
"Well, if it's only twenty million, it won't be enough.
Of course, Jiangbei and Jiangnan have always been sister schools, and we understand that Jiangnan University can't provide too much at the moment. So, we have another solution."
"Tell me!" Zhang Wentao's eyes lit up.
"It's like this, we at Jiangbei University plan to open the Jiangbei Shopping Mall. Could Master Lu share some of the Steel Armored Wild Pig Evolution Kit and Snowman Doll Evolution Package to be sold at our Jiangbei University?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Wentao and Lu Wu responded immediately.
"No!"
"Yes!"
Old Zhang said no, while Lu Wu said yes.
Hearing Lu Wu's agreement, Old Zhang and Zhou Qingyun were both confused.
They hadn't expected Lu Wu to agree so readily.
Lu Wu explained, "I had already promised Sister Yuchi."
"Little Lu!"
"She saved me from the female demon once."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wentao and Zhou Qingyun immediately understood, and Zhang Wentao had no objections. Zhou Qingyun, on the other hand, was left baffled.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have brought it up.
However, Zhou Qingyun was still pleased that the matter could be resolved smoothly.
Subsequently, Zhang Wentao and Zhou Qingyun negotiated.
In the end, it was decided that Jiangnan University would allocate forty percent of the shares to Jiangbei University for sales.
This news was sent to Jiangbei that very day.
Jiangbei was stunned upon receiving the news, never expecting Jiangnan to agree so readily.
Soon after, the news of Zhang Yuchi saving Lu Wu spread.
These two were already hot topics, and now a new piece of information emerged, a story of a beauty saving a hero, which further fueled the people's rich imagination.
By the time the news made its way back to Jiangnan, what Jiang Yexing heard was that Lu Wu and Zhang Yuchi were in a relationship, and their child was on the way.
This terrified Jiang Yexing, who immediately called Lu Wu.
"You can't be with Zhang Yuchi?"
Lu Wu hadn't even reacted yet when Jiang Yexing dropped another bombshell.
"She's your sister!"
"Huh??!!!"
