A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 215 Losing control
"Now that the students have opinions, let's discuss it again, study it again, and then decide."

Chen Hui spoke up.

Wang Qiming was both amused and exasperated. "It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the pain."

"If the students have objections now, we'll discuss it again. But what if international students have objections again after a new notice is issued?"

"I think we don't need to listen to the opinions of international students."

Chen Hui had already thought it through: "Since it's a school regulation, they just need to follow it. If they have any objections, they can go to another school."

"Isn't your bias a bit too obvious?"

"It's not that I'm biased, but some trends must be reversed, otherwise what happened today will happen again and again."

Chen Hui said firmly, "To correct a wrong, one must go to extremes. It's time to let them decide who the true masters of this country are."

Wang Qiming remained silent.

He admitted that Chen Hui had some merit.

The ancients were right in saying that barbarians fear power but do not cherish virtue.

"I will consider this."

Wang Qiming did not give Chen Hui a definite answer. Although doing so would be very satisfying, as the dean, he had to consider other aspects of the impact and could not act on impulse.

"We Chinese are just too polite, and that's why we don't get respect from those people."

Chen Hui shook his head. He had dealt with many Westerners and understood their personalities. Chen Hui admitted that most of them were actually quite nice.

However, the majority of those who come to study in China are actually scum.

To deal with this kind of scum, the first thing you should do is not to be humble and polite, as that will only make them think you are easy to bully. You have to hurt them first before they will respect you.

When Confucius traveled to various states, he also carried a three-foot-long sword at his waist.

Reason with a gentleman using words and thoughts; reason with a petty person using a three-foot-long sword.

Unfortunately, due to the poison of the Song Dynasty, the Chinese people lost their three-foot-long swords. They could not reason with words alone, and instead, they bound themselves with those ideas.

"Of course I understand the reasons you're giving, but these all have historical reasons."

Wang Qiming was well aware that "if it weren't for these policies, they wouldn't be able to come here to study."

"This time, that time."

After saying that, Chen Hui didn't try to persuade him any further and turned to leave Wang Qiming's office.

Wang Qiming was stunned for a long time, but his decision became even more firm.

Yes, times have changed, but some managers haven't kept up with those changes.

……

Udin and his three companions gathered together.

"How to do?"

"Do we really have to go through the withdrawal procedures?"

Raffi, the only girl among the four, was a little anxious. The benefits that Huaxia University gave them were indeed many, which they definitely couldn't get back home. She was extremely unwilling to leave.

What withdrawal procedures are needed?

Udin sneered, "Who does Wang Qiming think he is? Does he think he can just fire us like that?"

"That's right!"

Tom, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Wang Qiming can't bear this responsibility."

Tom is an American. As an American, the reason he came to China to study is obviously because he was struggling to make a living in the US. Unexpectedly, he ended up living a life of luxury in China, so naturally he doesn't want to go back.

But as an American, he had a broader perspective than his three companions, and he already had a plan in mind: "So, we should make a big fuss about this!"

"Yes, yes, let's make a big deal out of this!"

……

In the afternoon, Chloe, who had just returned to the lab after lunch and was working on modeling a large amount of experimental data, suddenly heard a commotion outside. She cautiously walked to the window and looked out.

What year is this eve?
Chloe was somewhat dazed.

She had been in China for more than three months and had never seen such a scene before, making her almost think she had returned to her hometown.

Such things are quite common in their hometown.

Outside the administration building of the School of Mathematics,
The four people shouted loudly.

The banner still being held in his hand
Give me back my degree, and severely punish the traitor!

"Wasn't the plan to impeach Wang Qiming? Why is Professor Chen being dragged into this too?"

Seeing the banners displayed by his classmates, Tom frowned slightly, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Who is Chen Hui? He's a genius mathematician who published in the "Annals of Mathematics" and won the European Mathematical Society's Grand Prize. Getting him involved would only make things more difficult for their actions.

"what happened?"

"Wasn't Professor Chen also speaking up for us back then? Since we're going to make a big fuss about this, then we can't let anyone get away with it!" Raffi said indignantly, looking like a martyr.

"That's right! So what if he's a genius? He still needs to be severely punished for his mistakes!"

His companions around him were also filled with righteous indignation.

Tom suddenly felt a little panicked.

People's emotions are easy to stir up, but once those emotions are stirred up, he finds that it seems to be beyond his control.

……

In the conference room of the university's administration building at Jiangcheng University,
"Old Wang, aren't you being a bit too frivolous?"

Dean He Jun of the School of Physics said with some dissatisfaction, "The notice has already been issued. If a small number of students have objections, then we should do our work. If you keep changing the policy now, by the time most students have objections, who will do the work?"

He thought something had called them together, but it turned out that this matter had delayed them.

"Old He is right, I disagree."

Dean Wei Xiong of the School of Computer Science nodded in agreement. This wasn't about forming a clique; it was simply the truth.

The deans of the other relevant colleges also nodded in agreement.

“Everyone is right. Since the notice has already been issued, let’s proceed according to the previous decision. Wang Qiming, you will be in charge of calming down the students in the School of Mathematics.”

Zhang Pingwen glanced at the others in the meeting room and gave his final concluding remarks, "Alright, meeting adjourned."

Wang Qiming opened his mouth, about to say something, but everyone had already stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"Principal, something has happened."

However, the meeting room door was blocked by a figure rushing in.

The person who came was the director of the principal's office, who was essentially the principal's secretary.

He glanced at everyone in the conference room, and after a moment's consideration, he spoke directly, "Several people are downstairs in the Mathematics Department building, demanding that Dean Wang be severely punished."

As the office director, he certainly knew what the meeting was about. Since everyone present was involved, there was no need to hide anything.

"what?"

Zhang Pingwen frowned.

The office director took out a tablet, turned on the video, and projected it directly onto the projector in the conference room.

The deans of the various colleges, who were originally preparing to leave, returned to their seats. If this matter were to escalate, none of them could escape the consequences.

They have a lot to consider, not just school opinion, but also international impact.

"Old Wang, you do bear some responsibility for this matter."

Zhang Pingwen frowned deeply; he was already considering punishing Wang Qiming to quell public anger.

"Wait, pause the video and zoom in on this part."

Suddenly, Wei Xiong, the dean of the School of Computer Science, said to the office director, "Take a look at what's on their banner."

[Severely punish Chen, the traitor, for abusing his power for personal gain]

Soon, everyone in the conference room saw the content of the banner.

"Who is this traitor Chen?"

Zhang Pingwen frowned; he didn't remember the School of Mathematics having a leader surnamed Chen.

"It's Chen Hui."

Wang Qiming replied.

"Why did they severely punish Chen Hui?"

"Professor Chen was also present at the time, and he publicly supported my punishment decision."

The conference room fell into silence.

The projector image was frozen on the enlarged banner.

Zhang Pingwen's face turned ashen.

After a long pause, he spoke again, "This is outrageous!"

Jiangcheng University can do without Wang Qiming, but it cannot do without Chen Hui. As the president, he understands this principle very well.

So at first, he planned to give Wang Qiming a symbolic punishment in order to quell public anger.

He was also furious about the actions of these international students, but considering the impact on all aspects, giving Wang Qiming a lenient punishment was undoubtedly the easiest solution.

But he couldn't punish Chen Hui, not even a symbolic one. In fact, he wanted to give Chen Hui a satisfactory outcome.

"Professor Chen also told me privately that times have changed and it would be inappropriate for us to still beg in a humble manner."

Wang Qiming astutely seized this crucial moment and said, "The instructor once said that to correct a wrong, one must go to extremes. This time, it might actually be a good opportunity."
