Insufficient balance

  Yu Zitong wore a red long dress today, charming but not seductive, bringing out her temperament perfectly. Although only half of her calf was exposed, it was still captivating and made people involuntarily focus their gaze there.

  Standing together with Xiao Yu Ling, the two formed a stark contrast. If Yu Zhi Tong was a scorching sun, then Xiao Yu Ling was the serene full moon of night. Each had their own unique charm, so when it came to ranking the four great beauties, these two were the least controversial, as they couldn't be compared to each other. Their fans never quarreled over their rankings, and as a result, no matter what the ranking was, the two women always existed side by side.

  Today, Ye Yizhe saw two people standing in front of him for the first time and couldn't help but carefully examine their faces in his heart. He found that the two people's facial features had some astonishing similarities, as if they were carved from the same mold. If Yu Ziyu also wore that one dress and stood still on the spot, it would be easy to confuse them for a moment.

  Two people are already so eye-catching, let alone today there is also Mu Zi Xuan's presence in front of everyone.

  Dressed in a professional attire, Mu Zi Xuan didn't lose any color even when standing next to the two of them who already had an advantage by being together. Just like Ye Yi Zhe's astonishment when he first saw her, under the contrast with the other two people, she unexpectedly gained a unique charm. Her cold and stern face, pale skin, slender figure, and professional suit perfectly showcased her maturity, even though she hadn't had time to change out of it after just returning from an errand outside.

  Three beauties gathered together, a rare occurrence at Fudan University. What's more, Xiao Yuling, who rarely interacted with others, was now in the public eye. The three of them shone brightly together, leaving onlookers dazzled and unable to look away. While some people enjoyed the sight of the beauties, others cast jealous glances at Ye Yizhe, their envy plain for all to see.

  This guy looks so much worse than me, why didn't I get the favor of the three beauties? Heaven is unfair! Many people had such thoughts in their minds.

  Ye Yizhe wouldn't bother with their thoughts, but he had already felt the piercing gaze, and although his heart was unwilling, he couldn't help but admit that this jealousy brought him a thrill of pleasure. He even felt a sense of pride and satisfaction, and if not for considering the bad influence, he would have shouted loudly, "I'm the man who broke off the engagement with Mu Zixuan!"

  Isn't this more domineering and majestic than those pirate fans who keep saying "I'm going to be the Pirate King" every day?

  Those are all false.

  Although Ye Yizhe wanted calmness, such twists and turns came more and more, this point he himself may not have realized.

  Yu Zhitong didn't greet the two, but walked directly to Ye Yizhe's side, standing half a step behind him, apparently as his foil. Seeing that the atmosphere among the three was not quite right, she took Ye Yizhe's arm in front of everyone's shocked gaze and said intimately: "What's wrong with you three?"

  Then, she made a puzzled expression as if she didn't know what was going on and looked at Xiao Yu Ling doubtfully: "Yu Ling, didn't you ask me for his number to invite him out for dinner? Why are you standing there, go in."

  The people around him immediately fell silent, and it seemed that this man was indeed a pretty boy as Mu Zi Xuan had said. Even eating required Xiao Yu Ling to invite him, if Xiao Yu Ling gave him the opportunity, then inviting her for a lifetime would be fine too, they couldn't help but cry out in their hearts.

  Xiao Yuling, however, grasped the topic like a lifeline and continued, "Yes, let's go in together. Standing here all the time isn't good either. Zi Xuan, Yutong, you two come along too."

  After finishing, Xiao Yuling couldn't help but glance at Yu Zitong with gratitude, but Yu Zitong pretended not to notice and instead gazed intimately at Ye Yizhe, occasionally casting provocative glances at Mu Zi Xuan. Noticing this, Xiao Yuling silently thought "this is not good". Yu Zitong and Mu Zi Xuan had never gotten along, always quarreling whenever they had the chance. Now that she had grasped onto Ye Yizhe, the man who had jilted Mu Zi Xuan, it was unlikely to end well.

  As expected, seeing this scene, Mu Zi Xuan's eyes narrowed and her chest heaved, telling everyone that she was not calm at the moment. Although she had no feelings for Ye Yi Zhe, they had been engaged before, and it was Ye Yi Zhe who went to her house to break off the engagement. So whether Yu Xi Tong really liked Ye Yi Zhe or not, it was like slapping Mu Zi Xuan in the face. Didn't this prove that she was inferior to Yu Xi Tong?

  If it were someone else like Xiao Yuling, she might not have cared so much and would have just laughed it off. But the fact that it was Yu Zitong who did this made Mu Zi Xuan's pretended arrogance turn into real anger.

  "Yi Zhe, you're indeed not simple, I just didn't expect to have underestimated you. You've only been here for a few days and already hooked up with her. If you were given a few more years here, wouldn't the entire university become your playground?"

  Yu Zitong wanted to speak up, but was preempted by Xiao Yuling: "Let's go in first and talk later, or we'll lose our seats soon."

  Although everyone knew that her words were just an excuse, it was not yet time to eat, and most of the people who came to eat were attracted outside the door. Inside, there were few people, even the waiters in the restaurant ran out to see the beauty, how could there be no seats? However, at this moment, it is clear that no one will come to refute her words. Ye Yizhe was eager for someone to shift the topic and hastily responded: "Yes, I'm starving."

  At this time, he didn't have the energy to care about the arm that had been clinging to him from the start and made him want to break free. Although he didn't really want to break free in his heart, but with three beauties in front of him, being so intimate with one person alone wasn't too good, was it?

  Isn't there an old saying that goes like this: it's more enjoyable to have fun with others than alone, and since all three of us are here, it's just right.

  But he could only think about it in his heart, if it wasn't him, maybe Mu Zi Xuan would really do such a thing to compete with Yu Zhi Tong. But Yu Zhi Tong chose Ye Yi Zhe, who had a deep grudge against her, originally "enemies meet and eyes turn red", how could she swallow her pride and make that move?

  It's even more impossible for Xiao Yuling, a woman who wouldn't even speak loudly, to hold hands with someone she just met, no matter if he had saved her life.

  So, without hesitation, Xiao Yuling walked straight towards Mu Zixuan, pulled her towards the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, with Ye Yizhe and Yu Jitong closely following behind them, looking very intimate.

  As the four of them entered the Purple Bamboo Garden, the crowd that had gathered to watch began to disperse slowly, revealing several figures standing behind the crowd. One of them was none other than Luo Jinfeng, who had a deep-seated grudge against Ye Yizhe. She was closely following a stout middle-aged man and said as soon as she saw the four enter: "Director Wang, you see, this is just too outrageous. You also saw it, this Ye Yizhe is not here to study at all. A person like him will definitely become a tumor in our Philosophy Academy, so I still suggest transferring him to another department."

  "Isn't this not good?" said the middle-aged man known as Dean Wang, hesitating. He knew more than Luo Jinfeng, but only a little more. The discussion about Ye Yizhe was led by Jiang Shiyu and participated in by the deans of various colleges. This Dean Wang that Luo Jinfeng mentioned was just one of the vice-deans who had a good relationship with her. In Hua Xia, this kind of interpersonal exchange environment was normal, where the distinction between superior and subordinate positions couldn't be spoken out loud, which was a taboo. The old president of the university would soon retire, which would inevitably lead to a change in leadership among the various colleges. Looking at Luo Jinfeng's expression, it seemed that she had placed her bet on this Dean Wang. After failing to find the dean several times, Luo Jinfeng shifted her attention to the vice-dean who was closest to her. She had made up her mind to expel Ye Yizhe from the Philosophy College and happened to call Dean Wang over today to discuss something. Not taking advantage of this opportunity would be a waste."

  So, it's said that you absolutely can't afford to offend a woman, especially a vengeful menopausal one. Ye Yizhe had repeatedly provoked her, and now she had completely lost all sense of reason.

  "The principal is probably unaware of the true situation and has been deceived. With a scourge like Ye Yizhe in the Philosophy Academy, it will ultimately be the girls in the academy who suffer. From the principal's perspective, would he want to see such a thing happen? Think about it again, the term is about to change, even if this doesn't count as an achievement in front of the principal, but it just so happens that you are very concerned about the growth of students, even the principal can't say anything against you. On the contrary, it deepens your impression on the principal's mind, wouldn't you have a better chance at becoming the next dean? How could Vice Dean Guo compete with you?"

  Vice President Wang was still unwilling to make a decision, so Luo Jinfeng increased the stakes and said: "I heard that Vice President Guo was called over by President Tang this morning to talk for an entire morning."

  Vice President Wang heard this and no longer hesitated, immediately dialing out of the principal's office phone.

  "Principal Jiang, hello. I'm Xiao Wang from the Philosophy Department. Hello, I wanted to report a situation to you. It's like this, our department isn't in this semester's recruitment of a male student? After observing him for some time, he doesn't seem to be very diligent. He's not often at school, and when I see him, he's always with some sophomore or junior girls. I've also asked Xiao Luo about it, and she's chatted with him several times too. But this boy has a very arrogant attitude, and even scolded Xiao Luo a few times. With such a student existing, I worry that it will affect the growth of other girls in our department. Hmm, so Principal, I suggest whether from the school's perspective, can we give him some punishment? If he still doesn't repent, then expel him. Oh, sorry to trouble you, Principal. I won't disturb you anymore, thank you."

  As soon as Luo Jinfeng hung up the phone, she hastily asked: "How is it?"

  Vice President Wang glanced at her with dissatisfaction, and after seeing Luo Jinfeng retreat behind him, he said: "The principal said that he would talk to Ye Yizhe once, and then discuss it with other school leaders. From his tone, there shouldn't be any problem, but it will take some time. Several deans have gone abroad for inspection and need to wait for their return."

  As he spoke, he always felt that something was not quite right, but couldn't think of what it was, so he swallowed the words that were on his lips. Luo Jinfeng patted her not very full chest and let out a long sigh, thinking to herself, this tumor can finally be removed.

  Two people, however, forgot one thing: if the old principal really wanted to expel Ye Yizhe, would he need to wait for so many people to hold a meeting together? If it takes so many leaders to hold a meeting together to decide on Ye Yizhe's fate, can they still influence his direction at this level?

  Originally still having some doubts, Deputy Director Wang turned his head and happened to see the shape being squeezed inside from Luo Jinfeng's collar. He suddenly felt a surge of anger rising from his abdomen for this woman in her 40s who was extremely emotional. Where could he still think about what was wrong? He directly said a sentence "Follow me back to the office" and walked forward with big strides. Luo Jinfeng, who felt his anger from his turn-back, hesitated for a moment and followed him reluctantly.

  But Jiang Shiyu, the old principal on the other end of the line, hung up the phone and couldn't help but mutter a curse: "This little brat."
