Super God-Level Top Student

Once again, it has been proven that the wisdom of the ancient Huaxia people is limitless, able to summarize many life phenomena with colloquialisms rooted in daily life, even though they never studied psychology, economics, and had no understanding of theories like sunk cost and so on.

For example, "scholars are at a loss when they encounter soldiers; reason doesn't prevail." And "fear power, not virtue."

This was especially clear when a chief named He from the school's security department arrived at the scene and immediately started shouting through a megaphone.

"Let me tell you, I really haven't read many books in my life, and I don't understand those big principles! The stability I have in this position now is all thanks to the reputation my grandfather earned by risking his life crossing the river to the north. So if any of you fucking cause trouble, that means you don't give me face, and if you don't give me face, I never give it back to you either.

I'll say the ugly part upfront today; if you piss me off, I won't care which country you come from or what your family does. If I don't make an example out of you today, I might as well put my family name behind yours! So I don't get cursed by my old man decades later for being a disgrace! Have you really turned the world upside down? Don't you know where you are?

Right now, all of you fucking get to class."

Really, with this style of speaking, he completely befuddled the teachers from the School of International Education who were responsible for interpreting.

They were stumbling over their words for quite a while, not knowing how on earth to translate all that.

Fortunately, although the majority of international students had been in Huaxia for a while and could understand the gist even if their language skills weren't great.

Add to that Chief He's burly frame and aggressive tone, coupled with the uniformed, well-trained security personnel who came along, at least half of the crowd instantly lost their nerve.

After all, the development of the situation was different from what they had imagined.

They thought anxious leaders would appear to provide explanations and promises, but not a single formal leader showed up. Instead, they were about to start with violent expulsion, a style too brutal and very unlike the usual campus scenery.

Of course, the most important thing was that the matter didn't actually concern the majority of them.

Just like Xu Dajiang said, what did other departments' problems have to do with his School of Mathematics?

Similarly, what did cutting benefits for the folks in the School of Mathematics have to do with international students from other departments?

Originally, at least half the people were there just because they simply didn't want to attend class and happened to join the commotion. Now, realizing that the situation wasn't as simple as they thought, they naturally didn't want to get involved in the mess.

So, after a round of irrational shouting, the crowd that had gathered quickly dispersed by half, and the momentum for skipping class visibly weakened.

The teachers, who were initially quite nervous, now breathed a sigh of relief and briskly started to announce the school's decision.

"All students, please stay calm and don't joke with your future. The school has just decided that all teachers will take attendance before the end of the noontime classes today. Students who haven't asked for leave in advance for legitimate reasons and fail to attend class will be expelled on the grounds of severe violation of school rules and sent back to their home countries.

Let me repeat, expelled and sent back! And this is the school's final decision! Go back to class now, and you might still make it in time for roll call. If you're even a little later, after the class bell rings, pleading will be of no use."

Now, even those international students who were worried about losing face and didn't want to leave outright couldn't stay any longer.

If the school was serious, not getting a diploma and being sent back would mean that all the hard work of coming to Huaxia for years would have gone in vain.

Although some of those who stayed were close to the students from the School of Mathematics, no matter how good the relationship was, it couldn't justify joking with their future, right?

Even more people started to leave.

And even some with other thoughts began to silently drift away.

Soon, the large-scale protest of over a hundred people dwindled to just a sparse dozen or so.

"Ronnie, you're leaving too? They're just trying to scare us."

"Yeah, really, look around, who's left? Stop making trouble and hurry back; you might still scrape through to get a diploma. You don't actually want to waste two years, do you?"

"But..."

"Look at Zhou Zhou… Forget it, I won't say anymore, sorry, but I need to rush and get marked present. They're not joking about the expulsion. But trust me, I'll support you on Facebook."

...

"Chen, the issue has been resolved, the crowd has dispersed, but the security department said they've taken three hardliners for re-education."

"Three? It's good to let them cool off, then hurry up and process their expulsions. Send them back to wherever they came from." Chen Yuanzhi finally felt a weight lifted off his chest.

Checking the time, it had only taken one hour—quite an efficient resolution.

"Also, write down there needs to be a reward for the security department, remind me at the next meeting."

"Yes, Principal Chen."

"Another thing, call an office meeting tomorrow. All the main leaders of the colleges must attend. Summarize this plan and print it out, then distribute it at the meeting."

After speaking, Chen Yuanzhi handed over a line of writing he had jotted down on paper.

The secretary took it and looked at it, somewhat puzzled.

"Uh, Principal Chen, isn't it a bit inappropriate to cut the international students' scholarships in half at this critical moment?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That's why everyone needs to come to a meeting tomorrow. Each college must do its part in the publicity work, letting them know that this is a punitive measure. Skipping classes to protest is a serious matter, and any misconduct must be punished. Whether or not it will return to normal next year will be decided then." Experience exclusive tales on empire
