Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 217

The day for Sheng Nuan’s project team’s year-end report arrived, and just that morning, someone submitted a real-name report, alleging that Sheng Nuan gained entry to the project team through improper means, and seduced Team Leader Gao Luo to secure her place.

As a result, Sheng Nuan was summoned to the university…

The rest of the team was still unaware of what had happened, each preparing the materials for the report in the lab. Once everything was organized, they handed all documents to Gao Luo for centralized management.

It was at this moment that Yue Qianrou found her way to the lab.

She intercepted Tao Yu outside the lab after she had finished in the restroom.

“Senior Tao Yu, could you do me a favor?” Yue Qianrou asked.

Tao Yu was slightly surprised. She was unaware of Yue Qianrou’s breakup with Gao Luo, so she remained polite, “What is it?”

Yue Qianrou pursed her lips, “In a moment, when I go in to see Gao Luo, could you find a way to pull him away for two minutes? I want to surprise him.”

Tao Yu hesitated but eventually nodded, “Alright.”

Yue Qianrou smiled, “Thank you.”

Shortly after, Yue Qianrou entered the lab and approached Gao Luo.

Gao Luo had just organized all the materials into folders. When he looked up and saw Yue Qianrou, he frowned slightly, “Why are you here?”

Yue Qianrou bit her lip, “Am I not even allowed to see you?”

Gao Luo replied coldly, “If you have something to say, we’ll talk about it later. I don’t have time right now.”

Yue Qianrou’s expression turned ugly, and she exchanged a glance with Tao Yu, who was not far away. Tao Yu hesitated, then suddenly spoke up, “Team Leader, which of these two models should we bring?”

Gao Luo turned, “The latest one.”

Tao Yu hesitated, “Could you help confirm which is the latest?”

Gao Luo, a bit impatient, turned and walked over. “Are you really this unfamiliar with the models…?”

As Gao Luo turned away and with no one else nearby, Yue Qianrou quickly opened the folder, pulled out the first report document under the cover, and swiftly restored the folder to its original state.

Without glancing back at Gao Luo, she turned and briskly walked out…

Out of the corner of her eye, Tao Yu noticed that Yue Qianrou seemed to have taken something, but she didn’t see that it was the report material.

Although she felt a bit uneasy, she didn’t dwell on it. Moments later, the main team members gathered the materials and models and headed to the science building to prepare for the year-end report.

Meanwhile, Sheng Nuan was summoned to the university’s political education office, where she saw the real-name complaint letter from Yue Qianrou.

The political education director, who was well-acquainted with Xu Youliang, knew that although Sheng Nuan was young, she had real ability.

The director sighed, “If there are conflicts among you students due to personal issues, you should find a way to resolve them. Causing such a scene like this won’t be good for you either.”

Sheng Nuan had already learned from customer service that Yue Qianrou had stolen the report materials.

She smiled warmly and obediently, “Don’t worry, Professor, I’ll handle it.”

The director nodded, “That’s good…”

Sheng Nuan left the university’s political education office and headed straight to the Science and Technology building.

She also knew that, by now, another complaint letter had already reached Xie Yan. Xie Yan had agreed with Sheng Xi to impose a severe punishment on her, this “undisciplined” student.

Tch… a bunch of idiots!

While Yue Qianrou and Sheng Xi eagerly waited for the outcome, it was already Sheng Nuan’s team’s turn to enter the reporting hall in the Science and Technology building.

Entering the report hall, Sheng Nuan saw several people seated at the table in front. The refined and authoritative middle-aged man in the center was Xie Yan, Xie Ze’s father and Sheng Xi’s father-in-law.

To Xie Yan’s left were Xu Youliang and three other professors, with an empty seat at the end.

As Sheng Nuan, Gao Luo, and the other five project members took their seats, Gao Luo stood up to begin, but at the head of the table, Xie Yan glanced at the report list and frowned.

“Sheng Nuan is part of your team?” Xie Yan asked.

Sheng Nuan stood up, “Yes, I am Sheng Nuan.”

Xie Yan looked up, then leaned back coldly in his chair. “I’ve received a complaint. A real-name report, accusing Sheng Nuan of using improper means to join the project team and relying on an inappropriate relationship with the team leader to secure her position.”

Before Sheng Nuan could respond, Xu Youliang, seated next to Xie Yan, slammed his hand on the table, his expression changing. “I personally brought Sheng Nuan onto the team. Improper? What kind of improper means? Who’s spouting nonsense?”

Xie Yan calmed Xu Youliang, “Mr. Xu, please don’t get upset. I understand your intention to nurture students, I’m just concerned that some may not appreciate the opportunity and might follow the wrong path after joining the team.”

After speaking, Xie Yan looked up at Sheng Nuan and her team. “Let’s do this, for now, Sheng Nuan will be temporarily removed from your team. We’ll decide on further action once the investigation results are out.”

Xu Youliang immediately protested, “I object.”

Xie Yan chuckled, “Mr. Xu, strictly speaking, you should recuse yourself.”

Xu Youliang choked for a moment…

Meanwhile, Gao Luo and the others were stunned.

In an instant, without any warning, Sheng Nuan was to be temporarily removed. Though they called it a temporary removal, if her name was absent from the year-end report, she wouldn’t be credited for this nearly completed project.

More importantly, if her name wasn’t on the report, everyone would start to believe that the mysterious complaint letter wasn’t entirely baseless.

This Vice Chancellor Xie’s approach was unduly harsh…

These people didn’t know the full story, so they hadn’t realized that Xie Yan, the vice chancellor, was deliberately targeting Sheng Nuan.

At that moment, Sheng Nuan spoke up, “Excuse me, is there any evidence?”

Everyone froze. Xie Yan raised an eyebrow, “What?”

Sheng Nuan asked him, “This so-called report—does it have evidence?”

Xie Yan frowned. “There’s no evidence at the moment, so we need to investigate further before making a decision. Do you have any objections?”

“Of course?”

Sheng Nuan stared straight at Xie Yan, “If I’m to be removed over an unsubstantiated report, then, likewise, if I now accuse you, Professor Xie, of abusing authority to target me, shouldn’t you also be temporarily removed from the review panel until an investigation clears you?”

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

No one could have expected Sheng Nuan to be so bold, directly challenging the Vice Chancellor!

Xie Yan’s face darkened instantly. “What are you talking about? Why would I target a student like you?”

Sheng Nuan smiled half-heartedly. “I’m also curious as to why. Or perhaps… your daughter-in-law once had a dispute with me, and you’re helping her get revenge?”

Xie Yan slammed the table, “Nonsense!”

The situation in the room was on the verge of spiraling out of control…

Even Xie Yan hadn’t anticipated that a young girl would openly stand up to him, putting him in a difficult position.

If things escalated, it would bring him no benefit whatsoever!

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yan regained his composure and said calmly, “I understand your frustration, but you must not make baseless accusations. If you continue to disrupt order here, I will have no choice but to indefinitely postpone your team’s year-end report…”

As Xie Yan finished, Xu Youliang and Gao Luo’s expressions looked even more grim.

Xie Yan was using the entire project team to force Sheng Nuan into compliance.

Sheng Nuan sneered, “Power truly is something. Whether it’s justified or not, it can first crush people to death, right, Professor Xie?”
