When she first arrived at school, the department head came to see her?
Did the department head know that she had returned to school?
Jiang Yao felt a little strange, but she had no choice but to stop packing her luggage and push the door open to go out.
The classmate who came to inform her at the door was also from the Finance Department, and was also the vice president of the student union. He was very active in various school activities, and he usually had a close relationship with the college leaders.
When Jiang Yao went out, she hadn't left yet. She seemed to have something to say.
Jiang Yao looked at her with bright eyes and said in a gentle voice: "Is there something you want to tell me?"
The classmate looked like he was hesitating to speak. He held it in for half a minute before saying, "No, it's okay. You... have to be mentally prepared."
She just went to the department head to approve the activity application form, but the door to the office was ajar and the department head happened to be answering the phone. She overheard some conversations about Jiang Yao.
She wanted to tell Jiang Yao, but she was afraid that the department director would find out later, so she only reminded her in the end.
Hearing her words, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition flashed through her mind.
Forget it, what is supposed to come will come. She is divorced, so nothing should be worse than now.
"Thank you for reminding me. I'll go to the academy first."
Jiang Yao thanked the other party and walked slowly towards the School of Finance.
Office of the Department Chair.
Jiang Yao knocked on the door and after hearing the voice "Please come in", she opened the door and went in.
Seeing that it was her, the department head's face instantly became serious: "Student Jiang, please sit down."
Jiang Yao sat down opposite the department head, quietly took a deep breath, and waited for the other person to continue.
The department head coughed twice, opened the drawer under his desk, then pulled out a document and pushed it in front of Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao had received document gift packages twice before, but neither was a good thing. Now that she saw the document appearing in front of her again, she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.
Could it be that Jiang Jing sent those documents to the school again?
With this suspicion in mind, Jiang Yao opened the file directly after taking it——
This time it’s not a certificate, but a notice!
"Student Jiang, you were absent from school for a month without permission some time ago, which has violated the school's discipline. After research, the college has expelled you."
The head of the department spoke sternly and looked at Jiang Yao with a threatening look.
There was a flash of shock in Jiang Yao's eyes. She never thought that she would be suddenly expelled from the school.
But she quickly calmed down: "Director Zhang, I asked for leave from the school before I was absent from work, and the school approved it. How can I violate discipline?"
Department Chair: “But I haven’t received any leave application from you.”
"Student Jiang, let me tell you about our school's leave application system. Students need to fill in a special leave application form, and it will be valid only after it is approved and signed by the college leader or instructor."
Jiang Yao could not refute what the department head said.
She had indeed seen this leave request process in the student handbook.
Jiang Yao originally wanted to ask for leave according to this process, but Chen Yanbei felt that it was a hassle, so he directly called the school leader and asked for leave verbally.
But she didn't know which leader he was calling, nor how it was communicated between leaders, so now she couldn't refute the department head's reason for dropping out.
After a pause, she tried to explain: "Director Zhang, I took leave because of sudden physical reasons. My husband called the school leaders to inform them. Is there any misunderstanding in your internal communication?"
"Classmate Jiang, I'm also sorry for expelling you. But this punishment is not my opinion alone. You see, this notice is also signed by the school leaders. There is no room for change in this matter. Okay, I still have it. I have something to be busy with."
The head of the department directly issued an order to expel the guests, lowered his head and took the documents at hand, looking very busy.
Jiang Yao didn't read the notice carefully just now. After listening to what the department head said, she noticed that the date on the notice actually said today, and the ink on the leader's signature was a little blurred, a bit like the effect of being wet with water. .
Thinking of today's heavy rain, Jiang Yao suddenly understood that the decision to fire her was probably a temporary decision, and it was probably only decided today.
She had just gotten divorced and received a notice of withdrawal from school. She didn't believe it even if she said it had nothing to do with the Chen family.
But now she has no power, no background, and no qualifications to negotiate with the school. Of course, begging is useless. The other party will only take it as a joke, and maybe notify the Chen family to come and watch it together.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao chose to temporarily accept this fact.
She took the withdrawal notice, got up and walked out without saying a word to the department chair.
The biggest impact on her now that dropping out of school is not her academic qualifications, but that she has lost the opportunity to live in the school dormitory and can only rent a house, but she only has enough money to cover the rent for two or three months.
You can go to Kowloon to find a cheaper pigeon house to live in, which will save money, but the place is full of people, and maybe the people will disappear.
Suddenly unable to think of a better solution, Jiang Yao's pretty little face flashed with a trace of irritation. She tightened her fingers and crumpled the notice in her hand, then threw it into the trash can on the roadside.
After she walked away, a figure appeared next to the trash can and reached out to pick up the crumpled paper ball.
When Jiang Yao returned to the dormitory, her roommates were still discussing the novel they had just read. Seeing that her face was not very good, the roommates stopped talking and asked with concern: "Yao Yao, what's wrong?"
"What does the department chair want from you?"
She couldn't hide the matter of dropping out of school, and the school would probably issue a notice some other day, so Jiang Yao told her roommate the truth.
The roommates were all shocked, and Jiang Yao was even more angry:
"What? Drop out of school?! Isn't it just a month's absence from school? Even if you don't ask for leave, at most you will be given a warning. How can you drop out of school? Moreover, your husband has called the school in advance, and verbally asking for leave is considered a request. The school will handle it. It’s too much!”
"Yes, they don't care about the many rich young ladies who are truant, but they just caught you and punished you!"
"Furthermore, your midterm exam scores ranked first in the department in your major. No other school can grab such a good talent. Our school is rushing to expel you. Are you sick?"
The roommates gathered around Jiang Yao, getting angrier as they talked. Xu Mingxia simply slapped the table and suggested: "This punishment from the school is problematic at first sight. Why don't we join hands with the classmates in the department to sign a letter and ask the school leaders to withdraw this punishment?"
Zhou Meiyi and Ma Jiaqi also thought it was feasible and immediately agreed.
Seeing how her roommates were filled with indignation for her, Jiang Yao was suddenly moved. However, the Chen family was behind this incident. The Chen family donates buildings to the school every year, and many students in the school even receive scholarships from the Chen family. She didn't want to affect her poor classmates, nor did she want her roommates to offend the Chen family because of her.
"Thank you for helping me find a way. A joint letter may force the school to change the punishment, but you will also be remembered by the school leaders, which may also affect your graduation job recommendation in the future. I don't want you to be affected by helping me."
The roommates are all students who have never left the ivory tower. They are still very idealistic at heart. Xu Mingxia said: "No, Yaoyao. Everyone has signed to support you. Why does the school only focus on a few of us?"
Jiang Yao has been a social worker for many years, and has seen too many dark sides of society. If they really want to sign a petition, the school will naturally obey the public opinion, but internal leaders will immediately hold a meeting to hold people accountable. The leaders who are held accountable will naturally vent their anger on the students who take the lead. When the time comes, he will secretly use a looper to stab him with a knife at a critical moment, and no one will be able to guard against it.
But these truths, when spoken out now, are a bit cruel to the roommates. They may not believe it either.
"Don't worry about it. I have a way to solve this matter." In fact, Jiang Yao didn't know what to do, but seeing that her roommates were actively planning for her, she suddenly didn't want to accept this punishment easily. Why should she be punished so easily? Dropping out of school?
Jiang Yao's heart instantly ignited a fighting spirit.
There are seven days to leave school after the withdrawal notice, so she can still live in the dormitory for seven days. Within seven days, she will either get rich and move out of the dormitory, or she will have to settle the matter of dropping out.
The roommates immediately felt relieved when they heard that she had a solution.
Singapore.
When Huo Chenfeng came out of the hospital, he immediately asked his men to arrange a flight. He wanted to fly to Xiangjiang in person to pick up Jiang Yao.
You can't just fly a private jet if you want to, you also have to apply for routes and related approval procedures with the Aviation Administration.
After explaining to his assistant, Huo Chenfeng returned to the hospital, planning to visit Chen Yanbei.
As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Zhou Shen who was also rushing over.
"Assistant Zhou." Huo Chenfeng called him from behind.
Zhou Shen turned around and said, "Master Huo."
Thinking of Chen Yanbei's physical condition, Huo Chenfeng specifically warned: "Young Master Liang and Assistant Zhong will return to the company tomorrow. You can take your time before reporting on the company's matters."
Zhou Shen looked a little panicked: "Master Huo, I came here to report to the young master about the young mistress."
Jiang Yao? Huo Chenfeng planned to go to Xiangjiang to pick someone up in the evening. Could it be: "Did something happen to her?"
Zhou Shen knew that Huo Chenfeng was close to Chen Yanbei, so he didn't hide it from him: "Young mistress, she signed a divorce agreement and divorced the young master!"
"What? What's going on?" Huo Chenfeng's expression changed drastically. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Yao to take the initiative to divorce Chen Yanbei.
Zhou Shen quickly repeated what Ah Zhong said on the phone, "The young master's father took advantage of the young master's absence and went to Repulse Bay early in the morning to force the young mistress to sign a divorce agreement. The divorce certificate has been issued."
After listening to Zhou Shen's words, Huo Chenfeng's face turned even darker. It was over. If Chen Yanbei knew, he would not be able to stay in the hospital for more than a second and would have to fly back to Xiangjiang immediately.
"Master Huo, I have to report to the young master quickly." After Zhou Shen finished speaking, he raised his legs to leave.
"Wait!" Huo Chenfeng stopped him, "You want your young master to die, don't you? He suffered from severe stomach bleeding and has not passed the critical period yet. Do you think he can still sit still if you tell him the news? ?"
Zhou Shen's footsteps froze in place, hesitation flashed in his eyes, yes, if he told the young master the news, given how much the young master cared about the young mistress, he would rather rush back to Xiangjiang immediately regardless of his health. How to do it? Should I report it to the young master truthfully?
"Okay. You go back and hold off on this news for now. I'll go back to Xiangjiang right away."
Huo Chenfeng has already made the decision for Zhou Shen.
