Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 450 - 449: Entering the Venue

As soon as Dean Zhou heard Gu Xiaoqing was about to take the stage, he knew he couldn’t wait any longer. If he waited, Gu Xiaoqing might accuse the university of unjustly expelling an outstanding student, which would be a great loss.

In his panic, Dean Zhou thought it was time to strike first, to reveal Gu Xiaoqing’s ’dark history’ and label her a ’ruthless merchant’ before she could speak.

"Hello everyone, I’m very pleased..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Just as Gu Xiaoqing was about to speak, Dean Zhou abruptly stood up.

"Miss Xiaoqing, I didn’t expect someone like you to be the mastermind behind New Horizon, no wonder you never dared to show your face."

Gu Xiaoqing was momentarily stunned. People often say about cultured villains that they strike at the right moment to disgust you.

She didn’t expect Dean Zhou to be so impulsive, which made her somewhat disappointed in him.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and calmly said, "Dean Zhou, what do you mean by that?"

"Hmph, over two years ago, you used bubble tea to harm consumers, yet today you have the nerve to stand here and open an educational institution? If people like you are responsible for education, children nationwide will be corrupted."

"Oh? I don’t quite understand that."

Gu Xiaoqing asked with a smile.

"Don’t understand? Or are you refusing to admit it. Then look at this!"

Dean Zhou pulled a newspaper out of his pocket, walked over to Gu Xiaoqing, and threw it in front of her.

The report on it was about the incident from when Gu Xiaoqing had trouble.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Mingyue, show everyone with the projector."

As soon as Dean Zhou heard it, he felt uneasy. What was Gu Xiaoqing trying to do? Was she really going to expose her past to everyone?

When the report appeared in front of everyone, there was a collective gasp.

It stated that the problematic bubble tea had led to department investigations and called for a boycott of such unethical behavior.

Immediately, people started discussing among themselves, a bit confused about how things had developed.

"Is it true?"

"It can’t be, right?"

"There’s no business without treachery, so it seems."

Gu Xiaoqing picked up the microphone. After the discussions quieted down, she said to Ye Mingyue, "Mingyue, bring up the quality inspection report of my bubble tea from back then as well."

Under the projector, the quality inspection report of Gu Xiaoqing’s bubble tea showed that out of one hundred samples, eighteen had slightly exceeded the sugar content standard, while the rest met all indicators.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wasn’t the one serving customers at the bubble tea shop. The employees were careless, and some samples indeed had a sugar content slightly above the standard, but this was a human error. Most of the products, however, were reliable. Dean Zhou, did you not find this quality inspection report when you came to me?"

Gu Xiaoqing asked with a smile.

Suddenly, everyone looked at the Dean. It was the truth; blaming others for human error was indeed unfair.

Moreover, the sugar content was only slightly over the limit, clearly due to carelessness.

It was something people could understand.

"Mingyue, bring up the audit results of my company’s financial statements as well."

Once brought up, Gu Xiaoqing pointed to the final results and said, "I personally am very grateful for the domestic regulatory departments. If someone reports an issue, it naturally needs to be inspected. If reports weren’t checked, then the country would be hopeless."

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoqing looked at Dean Zhou: "As a former student of the university, I used to be proud of my school. After all, I studied finance management, and doing business isn’t easy. I didn’t expect Dean Zhou to expel me over a baseless report; I was really upset at the time."

Gu Xiaoqing’s words were like a bomb, exploding among the crowd.

No one expected Gu Xiaoqing to be from the university, nor that the university had expelled her?!

Suddenly, Dean Zhou felt neither standing nor sitting was right, feeling like a clown in front of everyone.

"Dean Zhou, now I’m part of an educational institution myself. In my view, whether schools or our educational bodies, we serve students; it’s a service industry."

"What? How dare you talk nonsense here? You’re a service industry; you can’t be compared to our formal colleges and universities."

Dean Zhou, hearing this, immediately jumped. He’d never heard of universities being called a service industry.

"Dean Zhou, after the nine-year compulsory education ends at junior high, higher education like high school requires fees. Parents pay schools in hopes their children gain something, to be ahead of others after graduation, to find a decently paid job."

Gu Xiaoqing elaborated confidently.

Before she finished speaking, parents in the audience applauded and cheered, "Bravo!"

Indeed, graduating from prestigious schools was about finding a well-paid job, as they equipped students with competitiveness.

"Everyone, please let me finish. Dean Zhou, our educational philosophies differ. We hope students learn how to learn, have discipline, and adapt to society, not just take courses to pass exams for studying abroad. Our teachers prefer teaching students how to learn, what to watch out for when studying abroad, not just teaching them English."

"Sounds nice."

Dean Zhou sneered. It was the current education system, and Gu Xiaoqing was bringing trouble upon herself.

"No, no, Dean Zhou, look at how burdensome life is for students now. They attend school, take exams, and enroll in tutoring classes outside. Are there any parents here who don’t feel distressed seeing their kids study late into the night?"

Gu Xiaoqing’s words elicited nods from many parents. Though distressing, there was no choice; tutoring students always outperformed their children, and they were helpless.

"Haven’t you noticed any of this? As an educator, shouldn’t you be more concerned?"

Frankly, as a university dean, why would he care about this?

He only needed to worry about forums, his graduate students writing papers under his name, and earning money.

But Dean Zhou couldn’t deny Gu Xiaoqing’s words.

His face turned pale and colorful, a spectacle to behold.

At that moment, suddenly a few hooligans appeared out of nowhere, brandishing sticks and started smashing the place.

Seeing this, Fang Shaohan immediately dashed forward without a word.

At the same time, Gu Xiaoqing coughed heavily twice and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
