Chapter 171: You Can’t Afford the Consequences
However, Ye Qingtian curled the corner of his mouth into a smile, ignored everyone, pulled out a chair, sat down, and even put his legs on the conference table.
"..."
Everyone in the meeting room was dumbfounded.
What kind of act is Ye Qingtian putting on?
How did he just sit down?
"Ye Qingtian, what’s going on with you? You have no manners at all!"
Director Shang Yu said coldly.
"What’s wrong with this student? No wonder he’s being expelled; he has no manners at all!"
Other leaders and teachers started gossiping, throwing mocking glances at Ye Qingtian.
"Ye Qingtian, get up quickly! Everyone here is a leader of the school; how can you sit like this?"
Shang Yu shouted angrily.
He felt embarrassed; after all, Ye Qingtian was a student from his college, and all the leaders were looking at him with peculiar eyes.
"Clink!"
Ye Qingtian lit up a cigarette, slowly inhaling.
Smoke swirled, filling the air with its smell.
"..."
Everyone present frowned, looking at Ye Qingtian in disbelief.
Sitting down and even smoking in front of so many leaders!
Absolutely a maverick!
He was challenging the rules!
The faces of Shang Yu and others were furious, and discussions erupted.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Vice President Wang Fen rebuked; she had never seen such a brazen student.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, someone slammed the table heavily, the loud noise startling everyone.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
An elder slowly stood up, looking stern and serious.
"Ye Qingtian, introduce yourself. I am Xie Qiuyan, the president of Jin City University!"
The elder slowly spoke.
Ye Qingtian took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, "Sorry, I’m not a student anymore, no need for introductions!"
"You..."
Shang Yu, Wang Fen, and a few others were speechless.
Right, Ye Qingtian had already been expelled.
"But you must face the consequences of your actions! This matter is far from just expulsion!"
Wang Fen stood in front of Ye Qingtian, glaring at him.
"Puff!"
Ye Qingtian lightly exhaled, smoke spraying onto Wang Fen’s face.
"Cough cough... Ye Qingtian, you have no basic manners! Didn’t you even attend elementary school?"
Wang Fen was choked, shouting angrily.
"Sorry, I actually didn’t attend elementary school!"
Ye Qingtian’s answer made Wang Fen and others infuriated.
"Mr. Ye Qingtian, besides expelling you, you’ll have to bear other consequences since this has a bad impact on our school..."
President Xie Qiuyan was halfway through speaking when the door opened, and a voice came through, "But I’m afraid, after Young Master Ye bears the consequences, you won’t be able to handle it!"
"Hm? That voice sounds familiar? Seems like..."
Everyone, including Xie Qiuyan, looked over, suddenly seeing an elderly person.
The patriarch of the Fan Family from the Four Great Families in Jin City, Fan Yuesheng, followed by a group of people.
There was Bai Wencheng from the Four Great Families, and He Kaiwen, chairman of He’s Catering Company...
The commonality was that they were all directors of the school, providing a lot of funding, having significant status.
Especially many projects and a large amount of employment at the school were supported by these consortiums and families secretly.
In other words, these people were like half parents to Wang Fen and others.
"Oh, it’s Director Fan!"
"Director Bai, you’re here too?"
...
Seeing these directors, Xie Qiuyan, Wang Fen, and others immediately greeted them warmly.
But Fan Yuesheng and others completely ignored them, directly approaching Ye Qingtian: "Young Master Ye, are you okay?"
The Fan Family members all knew Ye Qingtian’s identity now, naturally informed by Fan Jingyu.
"Young Master Ye? These directors came for Ye Qingtian?"
Wang Fen, Shang Yu, and others were all stunned, faces full of disbelief.
"Haha, they expect to trouble me?"
Ye Qingtian sneered.
Fan Yuesheng’s gaze shifted, seeing on the table the document about Ye Qingtian’s expulsion, his face changed dramatically.
"Who dares to expel Young Master Ye? Who made the decision?"
Fan Yuesheng shouted.
"Uh uh..."
The scene fell into silence, no one dared to speak.
Including Xie Qiuyan and others.
Fan Yuesheng smiled, looking at Ye Qingtian: "Young Master Ye, don’t mind them, anyone who expels you will be at odds with me. Please continue your studies?"
Ye Qingtian shook his head, "No need, I’m just about to leave!"
"Ah? Young Master Ye, no!"
Fan Yuesheng urged.
"Hm? Do you have objections?"
Ye Qingtian said coldly.
"No, no..."
Facing Ye Qingtian’s gaze, Fan Yuesheng trembled with fear.
Thinking of something, Fan Yuesheng loudly announced, "I announce, from today, the Fan Family will cease all cooperation with Jin City University!"
"My Bai Family will also cease all cooperation with Jin City University!"
"My He’s Catering Company will also cease all cooperation with Jin City University!"
...
With each director announcing their decision, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Xie Qiuyan and others, making them disoriented, almost suffocating.
Directors!
All directors of Jin City University stopping cooperation was an unprecedented blow.
The layers of impact were too many; sudden withdrawal and cessation of cooperation were practically devastating.
"Thud..."
Xie Qiuyan’s vision went dark, and he fell to the ground.
Wang Fen, Shang Yu, and others were petrified, their minds blank.
They never imagined that expelling Ye Qingtian would cause such a disaster.
"Director Fan, please don’t make hasty decisions; we can still discuss this. Ye, we won’t expel you anymore..."
Wang Fen pleaded with a thick face.
Fan Yuesheng glanced at her, "Hmph, blame yourselves for hiring a trash as a counselor!"
"Yes!"
Other directors echoed.
"Ye, I beg you to continue your studies? Give us another chance!"
Wang Fen turned her target to Ye Qingtian, unable to help but say.
"Get lost!"
He Kaiwen pushed Wang Fen, who was almost falling on Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian and his group left, leaving behind a messy crowd.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with despair!
Their losses were too great...
In the dormitory.
"Boss, will you come back?"
Fatty asked, somewhat reluctantly.
"I don’t know, but I’ll be around Jin City for a while, and I promised you to have a meal, so I’ll go!"
Ye Qingtian patted Zhang Chenyi’s shoulder.
At the Qin Family’s Home.
"Dad, mom, Ye Qingtian was expelled because of me. Now I can’t even find him."
Qin Lingyue cried.
Upon hearing this, Kang Meiyi’s eyes brightened, "Ah? Ye Qingtian got expelled?"
"Yes!"
"That’s right! Who told him to ruin He Tianju! He must face consequences for his mistakes!"
Kang Meiyi shouted angrily.
"But mom, he did it for me..."
"For you? You fainted back then; what did you see or who saw?"
