Chapter 559: Coercion?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan waited in the car for quite a while, but Li Xu and the rest did not come out.
For a moment, she was a little worried the other party had the advantage in numbers. Would her parents not be able to hold on?
She should have followed him in. After all, this was her business.
However, she did not know what was going on inside, so she could not enter rashly.
Thinking of this, she felt uneasy.
After a while, it had been half an hour since Li Xu and the others had entered. Ji Yuanyuan could no longer sit still.
She took the car keys and got out of the car.
Just as she was about to enter, she saw Li Xu holding Zhang Kun’s arm and coming out valiantly.
At first glance, she didn’t lose anything, and she had the att.i.tude of a winner.
Qin Mucheng followed closely behind with a cold expression.
The school’s leader and a few unfamiliar middle-aged men and women stood at the back with ugly expressions.
In front of the office building, Li Xu signaled Zhang Kun to stop.
Zhang Kun received the signal and quickly stood still. He looked at the director and said, “Dean, we’re really worried about the child. We wanted to apply to the school to let Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan stay at home and vacate the dormitory for those who needed it.”
The Dean’s expression turned awkward, “Ji Zixuan is from the Math Department, and this is up to them.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll discuss it with them later.” Zhang Kun nodded lightly.
After saying that, the Dean felt a little regretful.
He had also heard that Ji Zixuan was treated like a treasure by all the teachers and leaders in the mathematics department.
When that time came, the Mathematics Department might have to stand up for Ji Zixuan.
The Mathematics Department and their medical school had some conflicts because of the teaching building…
It was just that things had come to this point, and it didn’t seem appropriate for him to say anything now.
It was all his fault. If he had known earlier, he would not have done this today.
The Hu couple had found him last night and promised him that if they could arrange for their children to meet, they would donate one million yuan to the medical school.
This year, the academy had more research projects than in previous years, and the funds were already insufficient.
He had applied to the school several times, but it had not been approved.
The teachers below him urged him every day, and he had been under a lot of pressure recently.
Therefore, when the Hu family proposed this condition, he was tempted.
Moreover, the Hu family had planned to compensate Ji Yuanyuan’s family quite a bit.
He thought Ji Yuanyuan’s parents would agree.
After considering all aspects, he agreed in a moment of hot-headedness.
Now, it was too late.
After Zhang Kun finished speaking, he did not care about their expressions and brought Li Xu into the car.
Seeing Zhang Kun’s car, the Dean looked even more annoyed.
He did not understand it thoroughly. It seemed that Ji Yuanyuan’s family did not lack money.
Qin Mucheng was more polite. He nodded at the counselor and the Dean before walking to his car.
Other than Liu Bowen’s parents, everyone present had seen the world.
When they saw Qin Mucheng’s car, their expressions turned even uglier.
This child drove a car worth two million yuan at such a young age. It was obvious that his family background was very good.
It was them who had misjudged the other.
If it was an ordinary family, they might forget about this matter for the sake of money.
However, they did not lack money at all.
After leaving the office building, Li Xu and Zhang Kun went home first.
Qin Mucheng brought Ji Yuanyuan back to the teaching building.
There were only a few minutes left before the cla.s.s ended, so there was no need for Ji Yuanyuan to go over.
When the time came, they could just go straight to the cla.s.sroom for the second period.
Qin Mucheng found a parking spot and parked the car.
“What did they say?” Ji Yuanyuan asked impatiently.
Qin Mucheng recalled the situation just now and could not help but chuckle, “What else can I say? It’s nothing more than coercion and bribery. They’re all child’s play. When I was seven or eight years old, 1 had already seen more powerful methods than them with my father.”
“Bribery? How much are they offering?” Ji Yuanyuan was really curious about how much the Hu and Liu families thought their son was worth.
“They didn’t say the exact amount, but they used a black luggage bag with cash. They opened it on the spot for us to see. I estimate it to be about 500,000 yuan.”
“Is their son that worthless?” Ji Yuanyuan was speechless. “Only 500,000?”
“Is 500,000 yuan not enough?” Qin Mucheng looked at her. “An ordinary person can only earn tens of thousands a year. That’s still considered a lot.”
“500,000 yuan is a lot, but it’s not enough to save their son’s life.”
“They gave you 500,000 yuan, but still have to give the school and even go out to make some connections to really save those two kids. Even two million yuan won’t be enough.” Qin Mucheng settled the score for her.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, “It’s a pity. No matter how much money the Flu family has, it’s useless as long as I don’t give in.”
After a pause, she became a little worried again, “This Hu family is considered rich and powerful, and they’re also locals. My parents are still planning to open a shop here. They won’t cause trouble for my parents, right?”
“They wouldn’t dare!” Qin Mucheng’s lips twitched.
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before asking, “I don’t know what’s going on with the police. They should still contact me, right?”
“If there’s any progress, they’ll probably contact your parents.” Qin Mucheng whispered.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed and looked at her watch, “Then, should we go to the next cla.s.s or not?”
“Go, 1’11 accompany you. It’s quite interesting.”
Ji Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Qin Mucheng with a teasing expression, “Do you think dissection is interesting? Have you become a psychopath overseas?”
Qin Mucheng paused for a moment, “I have to find what you’re learning interesting. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t have anything in common.”
Ji Yuanyuan laughed and looked at her watch, “It’s almost time. We should go to cla.s.s.”
Qin Mucheng accompanied Ji Yuanyuan to the second cla.s.s.
Initially, Ji Yuanyuan wanted to return to the dormitory at noon and ask Qin Mucheng to go home as well.
However, when cla.s.s was about to end, Ji Yuanyuan received a text message from Li Xu, “Returned home and not, we have something to discuss.
Ji Yuanyuan secretly showed the message to Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng nodded at her.
When the cla.s.s ended, Ji Yuanyuan packed her bag and looked at Lin Nan and the others in embarra.s.sment, “I have something to do at home this afternoon, so 1 won’t be coming to cla.s.s. If the teacher calls for attendance, you can just say that I’m not here. The counselor will help me cancel my leave.”
Seeing that she was so busy, Lin Nan asked in surprise, “Are you sure you’re fine? You don’t need help?”
“No need, I can handle it myself.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.
“Yuanyuan, do you need me to bring your book back to the dormitory for you?”
Ji Yuanyuan still shook her head, “No need. We drove here. It’s not heavy.”
After she was done packing, Qin Mucheng helped her carry her school bag.
Ji Yuanyuan waved at Lin Nan and the others, “Bye bye, I’m leaving.”
Qin Mucheng nodded politely at them..
