Chapter 1035: This Is True Despair When the Mask Falls
The sudden alteration of the award presenters list left the audience momentarily stunned, but then the applause intensified tenfold."Mr. Bao!"
"Student Xi!"
One is the male god who just ordered the arrest of Gu Shiyin, and the other is the goddess who made Yin Hu plead guilty for exposing Gu Shiyin, these two figures are truly deserving of their titles.
The old principal extended a fervent invitation, but Bao Gucheng didn’t rush to accept it. Instead, he turned to gently inquire Seat Zuzi’s opinion: "Miss Zuzi, if you don’t want to go up, I will decline for you."
He knows she’s not a woman who enjoys the limelight.
Zuzi thought for a moment, and said, "Let’s walk up with Xiao Chenger."
As they stood up, Yin Hu, who was kneeling in front, quickly dragged himself to move to the side.
Bao Gucheng glanced over: "I told you to dress properly, yet you’re still here embarrassing yourself. Isn’t the police station waiting for your testimony?"
Yin Hu’s eyes grew hot, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and he kowtowed heavily to the two: "Yes!"
Indeed, he was going to testify.
To testify against Gu Shiyin’s crimes and bring that despicable woman to justice!
Bao Gucheng then instructed the prohibition of photography by reporters, and only then did he escort Zuzi up to the award stage.
Their figures, one tall and one petite, one imposing and one delicate, did not resemble award presenters but rather a couple walking the red carpet on their wedding day.
Truly eye-catching!
Wu Qianman took the Crown Medal, representing first place in military training results, with a trembling hand, unable to put it on. Upon seeing this, Zuzi couldn’t help but chuckle softly, and with nimble fingers, she helped fasten it by the collar.
Seizing the opportunity, the old principal promptly invited the two popular icons to deliver words of encouragement to the freshmen.
Bao Gucheng moved his lips slightly, looked at Zuzi, and said, "I’m not good at words, Miss Zuzi, please say something?"
Beside him, Wu Qianman suppressed laughter to the point of making her cheeks cramp: Mr. Bo, you’re not good with words? Come on, you’re just putting your ancestor in the first place everywhere.
Zuzi pondered for a moment, her gaze lazy, treating words like gold, and said, "Born as human, I urge you all to cherish cultivation."
The entire audience was taken aback.
They thought they would hear some rousing words encouraging them to be new-age youths and bring glory to Imperial University, but surprisingly, it was lessons on being a human? Cherish cultivation? What does Student Xi mean?
Bao Gucheng helplessly pinched his brow, took the microphone, and said, "Learning is a lifelong cultivation. If one does not cherish this opportunity to be human, they will fall into the animal realm, beneath pigs and dogs. Please seriously contemplate this and strive to perform good deeds, thrice a day."
Zuzi couldn’t help but glance at him, lips slightly curled: "Xiao Chenger truly understands me."
With Bao Gucheng’s "reading comprehension analysis", everyone finally had a revelation and understood Zuzi’s meaning. Xi Rubao, in the freshmen queue, led the cheers, reigniting rounds of thundering applause.
Amidst an atmosphere of celebration, Bian Xiaohong, standing behind Xi Rubao, was dumbstruck.
Having faced plummeting scores and endured dual rejection from both the stern instructor and Fifth Young Master Nangong, she believed the blows she received today were enough.
Unexpectedly! The blows came one after another relentlessly.
The fall of Zuzi’s cover was much more awe-inspiring than Wu Qianman’s!
The countrywoman she always scorned, who secretly tattled on the truant scum, turned out to be such a significant figure.
At the scene, sending Gu Shiyin to the police station, being asked for forgiveness on bended knee, and presenting awards hand-in-hand with a male god like Bao Gucheng...
Envy can no longer describe her mood.
She’s a woman who can’t even evoke envy because she stands too high, striving desperately to look up at her and still can’t reach; what is there to envy?
One word more fitting to describe her current mood should be despair.
An unprecedented despair has utterly crushed her!

Nangong Group’s CEO office.
A face filled with CEO charisma, yet wearing a dark silk robe, made Nangong Mo seem somewhat disconnected from reality.
His subordinate was respectfully reporting something, and he impatiently waved his hand: "Keep it short; I’m not interested in other people’s dating affairs!"
