Chapter 471: Murong Qiao’s Thesis Rewritten
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone was in the entertainment industry. The topics of public opinion on the Internet, including the trending topics, were all being followed at all times.
Not long after the video happened, Murong Qiao and the production team received the news.
“Investigate this matter.” Murong Qiao’s face was expressionless.
She propped her arms up and her casual gaze landed on the doc.u.ment in front of her.
“When the results are out, just hand it over to Director Liu Cheng. Let me know if there are any results.”
Jiang Chi nodded. “Yes.”
Wherever the trouble was, it should be resolved. If she had to resolve such a problem herself, the production team would be too useless.
Murong Qiao frowned and her gaze swept to a certain place in the contract. When she realized that something was wrong, she closed it and put it aside.
Her cell phone suddenly rang twice.
Murong Qiao didn’t look at it and opened it to answer the call.
“h.e.l.lo?”
Yang Xin’s voice came from the other end. “Qiaoqiao, is there a problem with your thesis? Why do I think the work is substandard?”
The other party’s puzzled voice did not sound fake.
Murong Qiao frowned. “Thesis?”
“That’s right. I saw the results in the group chat. You’re listed among the batch that needs to rewrite their thesis.” Yang Xin was puzzled.
In order to make it easier to manage, the results of the fourth-year thesis would be released in the group in the form of a doc.u.ment. It was also easier for everyone to check the results.
“…I’ll take a look later,” Murong Qiao replied.
After ending the call, Murong Qiao opened the cla.s.s group chat and found a doc.u.ment to click on to search for her name. The results in red at the back clearly indicated that her thesis needed to be rewritten.
Seeing this outcome, Murong Qiao’s fingertips that were scrolling the screen paused, revealing a hint of surprise.
How could it fail?
The doubts that Yang Xin had revealed just now were transferred to Murong Qjao’s face. She looked at the results again and after confirming that she was not wrong, she fell silent.
Even though she had been busy with the company recently, she had checked the thesis a few times before. There should be no problem…
Just as Murong Qiao was puzzled, her phone rang again.
Just as she was about to pick it up thinking that it was Yang Xin calling again, she realized that it was an unknown number.
“h.e.l.lo, are you Student Murong Qiao from the Department of Economics and Management?” A voice sounded from the other side. It sounded very kind.
“I am,” Murong Qiao admitted faintly. “May I ask who you are?”
“I’m a teacher from the Department of Economics and Management, Xi Jiangmao. You can call me Teacher Xi. I called you this time to talk about your thesis…”
It was also for the thesis.
Murong Qiao listened to Xi Jiangmao’s words quietly. The pen on her finger kept spinning, and her thoughts flew.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll go back to school in a few days.”
Her gaze landed on an empty fixed point in the air. She remained silent for a long time after ending the call.
Any student who had a problem with their graduation thesis would be very unhappy.
To Jiang Weiyang, Murong Qiao’s unhappiness made her very happy.
Ever since she saw Huo Yichen chase after Murong Qiao and leave, Jiang Weiyang had been “invited” out of the Huo Corporation.
She originally wanted to use the same trick and use her ident.i.ty to go to the Huo Corporation to look for Huo Yichen, but after she went, she actually found out that she was banned and that she had to make an appointment in advance to discuss a collaboration.
Jiang Weiyang immediately felt that it was Murong Qiao’s doing. She had been angry for the past few days and looked unhappy when she returned home.
“Big Brother!” Jiang Weiyang walked in in her high heels. “Do you remember what I told you last time?”
She threw her bag on the sofa and skillfully pulled a chair to sit beside her Big Brother, Jiang Wenxu.
Jiang Wenxu glanced at her and didn’t say anything. His actions of marking doc.u.ments didn’t change.
After making a fool of himself at the banquet previously, Jiang Wenxu had settled down and entered the Jiang Corporation to work. Now, he was much more mature and had lost the frivolous feeling of a Young Master.
“Big Brother—” Jiang Weiyang drawled.
Since the most favored person in the family spoke, Jiang Wenxu pursed his lips for a long time before answering.
Jiang Wenxu turned to look at his Little Sister. “Of course I remember. I’ll naturally do what I promised you.”
He really doted on this Little Sister. He doted on her so much that even though he knew that he had embarra.s.sed himself at the banquet previously because of her, Jiang Wenxu was not angry with her.
“That’s great.” Jiang Weiyang was immediately happy to hear the answer.
She smiled faintly, drawing out two dimples. “When Murong Qiao can’t take care of herself, I’ll see how she can look for Huo Yichen.”
Jiang Weiyang held a grudge, especially since Murong Qiao was a special person to Huo Yichen.
She had gotten everything she wanted since she was young. It was the first time Huo Yichen had let her suffer a defeat, and it also made Murong Qiao the person Jiang Weiyang hated the most.
“If you have the time, pay more attention to yourself and seize the position of Madam Huo in the future,” Jiang Wenxu reminded her.
Jiang Wenxu could only be more concerned and remind his willful and unreasonable sister.
It was also because of Huo Yichen that he was willing to help the other party cause trouble for Murong Qiao.
There was no such thing as an absolute secret in the world, so there was naturally no way to keep everything hidden forever.
A few days after Huo Hong disappeared, Huo Yichen took over the position of President and carried out bold changes and adjustments. Anyone with half a brain could guess what had happened.
Therefore, many people coveted the position of Madam Huo, including Jiang Wenxu.
Jiang Weiyang pouted and said aggrievedly, “I want to too. But he’s like a block of wood.”
What’s the point if she just liked him wholeheartedly? Huo Yichen’s att.i.tude towards her was colder than ice. Jiang Weiyang was ignored by him several times before.
“It’s easier for a lady to chase after a man. You’re my sister. Can’t you take him down?” Jiang Wenxu looked at her.
His gaze was calm, but the words and tone he spoke were clearly raised. It immediately triggered the anger in Jiang Weiyang’s heart.
Jiang Weiyang immediately raised her chin. “How is that possible!”
Naturally, she wouldn’t admit that her charm had failed. After being provoked by Jiang Wenxu, Jiang Weiyang stood up and left again.
Since her Big Brother had already helped to find something to keep Murong Qiao busy, Jiang Weiyang naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Not long after Jiang Weiyang returned home, she left again. She got into the car and left under the hot afternoon sun.
As the season changed, the sun became much more scorching. The rising temperature was so high that there were not many clouds in the sky. The dazzling light shone directly into the window and into the room, adding to the stuffy heat.
It was a drowsy time, making it easy for people to fall asleep.
Murong Qiao walked on the empty street and followed the path to the teaching building. She went upstairs and found the floor of the teacher’s office.
Knock knock.
She raised her hand to knock on the door. When she retracted her hand, she lowered the brim of her hat in an attempt to dispel the heat around her.
“Come in.” A voice came from inside.
Murong Qiao pushed the door open and entered. The first thing he saw was the nameplate stuck to the table and the words “Xi Jiangmao”.
The person sitting at the desk looked up as the footsteps approached. When he saw Murong Qiao, he was stunned.
“Oh, Murong Qiao, right?” As Xi Jiangmao spoke, he flipped the pages on his table.
There were many doc.u.ments on the table, and the process of flipping through them was inevitably messy. Xi Jiangmao searched for a while before finding what he wanted.
He pushed his eyes up the bridge of his nose and smiled. “It’s like this. I’m in charge of this year’s economics thesis.
I’ve read your thesis. There are many problems in many places. As I can’t explain it clearly at the moment, I specially called you over. I’m really sorry..”
