The Tycoon Inheritance [SaMpLe]

26.

"Settle down."

Vice President Ji called the room back to order, stopping the three who thought their ordeal was over and was about to leave. 
The middle-aged man stood firmly before the trio and calmly scrutinized them. The present faculty members and the President of the university held a late meeting the previous night after they gathered each students' record. They all came to a decision on what punishment to serve and notified the counselors assigned to them. It will be additional work attached to their present workload for their graduating students but it's needed.

They need to make an example out of these three.

There were others who used their parents' external influence and were reported but they were resolved by the student being transferred or quietly dealt with by either supplementary classes or sizeable donations. 

But. Those second-generation heirs never went as far as framing a student with malicious means like Lin Shen.

Their judgment was set.

"In all my years as the Vice President of this university, I've never come across any student who is so malicious and unaware of the things they do to their fellow college mate. Is this what you are willing to do to a future colleague if you don't 'like' them? I am highly embarrassed and ashamed by these actions. You are students of XXX University! Do you remember what President Nian said in his welcome speech when you entered these gates?" 

The adults waited for the students to answer. The lost look on their faces told them enough.

" 'You are no longer children; your parents will no longer hold your hands. You are now adults and you will be treated as such.' "

After Vice President Ji spoke those words, Zhang Rui and Li Feng's faces paled with despair. It didn't take anyone with a high IQ to understand the hidden insinuation of that reminder. They came from ordinary households. It was their parents who paid their tuition and sent their pocket money. They can't afford to screw up. 

Li Feng shot to his feet and his mouth blurted out everything Lin Shen did, even his contempt for Chen Kai.

Lin Shen tried to stop the guy and refute the words that were heard. When Li Feng wouldn't stop, he turned to insulting his so-called friend's IQ and his family. 
Hearing the devious words getting fiercer and fiercer, Li Feng stepped up to Lin Shen for a full face-to-face confrontation. 
The male teachers made their way over, seeing that things would escalate if the two continued in close proximity. 

Li Feng turned blind to all of this. His anger was solely on this person he considered a friend. Lin Shen's insult to his family broke all ties. He no longer cared if he was implicating himself; seeing that this rich brat can calmly throw anyone under the bus, why can't he?

"What's the use of your daddy's money when you can only get used goods, huh? You will only be second best, shit not even second because you're considered a last resort amongst the girls on campus. It hurt your pride for four years that someone with a 'poor' background surpassed you at everything. You've been grinding your teeth with jealousy its a wonder that they're still intact." Li Feng spouted venomous words at Lin Shen with a mocking smile.

Zhang Rui's pride was hurt when she heard the first half of Li Feng's speech. What woman would like to be called that? Her actions of cheating on Chen Kai were worthy of admonishment but she did it for her own interest. Can't she be selfish with her wants?

"Li Feng, I won't take those words from someone who has been a lapdog since freshmen years...."

"At least I see the cash in my account before I do what is needed and not after I put on a stupid act." Li Feng did a full counter before she could complete her tirade.
