Chapter 1130 - 839: Opportunity (2)

It’s as if this matter has nothing to do with Nan Zhubin, Bai Qinghua, and others outside the consultation room.

His tone is calm, without any bias, as if talking about a principle that belongs to neither side.

Jie Nianzhou lowered his head and fell into silence.

-----------------

"Zhuren, Xiao Kai, come over."

In the evening, inside the project team’s office.

Weng Pinting and Shi Qianqian were already there; the former stood by the window sill, arms crossed in front of her chest; the latter held a notebook excitedly, her face flushed.

"Everyone is here." Bai Qinghua coughed, "We have some new developments regarding Bi Yanling, so we’ve called everyone over."

As he spoke, Bai Qinghua tilted his head towards Shi Qianqian, clearly indicating that the new development was related to this female disciple.

Nan Zhubin seemed to be able to guess what this new situation was.

Shi Qianqian took a deep breath, "Do you remember Jie Nianzhou? The doctoral senior who borrowed our lab before."

"—He contacted me again this afternoon."

Indeed.

Shi Qianqian began to speak faster, "He told me that Bi Yanling was making small moves against our project team secretly, and he couldn’t stand it."

"He also said he had some recordings in his possession. They were daily conversation records of Bi Yanling in the office, evidence of arranging students to work on projects, adjusting experiment results, and even seizing student research results..."

"He asked if I needed them, and even directly sent me one!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhubin’s face was expressionless, and Mo Kai’s jaw dropped.

"Is this... treachery?" Mo Kai murmured.

Shi Qianqian nodded emphatically.

"Wait a minute... Senior sister, why do I feel there’s something strange about this, could it be..."

Mo Kai subconsciously adopted a business war mindset. After all, Jie Nianzhou’s turnaround seemed suddenly abrupt to outsiders.

Mo Kai didn’t know much about Jie Nianzhou’s situation. Although Nan Zhubin had conversations with Mo Kai recently, key information was always withheld. After all, this was work for the mental health center, and Mo Kai was no longer a consultation assistant.

"What he said is true. I know about this matter." Nan Zhubin spoke up.

Everyone in the study looked at him.

"Jie Nianzhou is my visitor." Nan Zhubin said, "He mentioned this during the consultation. The recordings do exist, and he himself judges that these recordings are indeed useful."

At the end of today’s consultation, Jie Nianzhou had made a decision, which Nan Zhubin knew.

Furthermore, Jie Nianzhou clearly expressed his hope that Nan Zhubin would explain this situation to Bai Qinghua and others.

So Nan Zhubin spoke up at this moment.

The study fell silent for several seconds.

Mo Kai’s lips slightly parted, then closed again.

Jie Nianzhou’s previous actions were indeed strange, but if Nan Zhubin was involved—

It wouldn’t be strange, it wouldn’t be strange.

Bai Qinghua glanced at Nan Zhubin, including himself, no one probed any further details or questioned Nan Zhubin’s actions; they all trusted Nan Zhubin’s professional ethics immensely.

"Alright," Bai Qinghua said, "then his credibility is sufficient."

He directly moved past this part and began discussing the subsequent work with everyone.

"I’ve listened to the recordings Jie Nianzhou gave to Qian Qian; they are the icing on the cake."

Bai Qinghua decided, "Now we’ve collected almost all the materials related to Bi Yanling, and now there’s this recording—which means the next step is figuring out how to use these materials."

As he spoke, Bai Qinghua looked at Weng Pinting.

Regarding these macro plans, the mentor and the senior must have communicated.

Noticing the teacher’s gaze, Weng Pinting unfolded her arms and turned to the junior and junior sisters.

She didn’t directly explain but seemed to start a teaching session again.

"Now we have all the materials, but if we want to solve it once and for all, directly reporting isn’t really possible."

Mo Kai and Shi Qianqian were taken aback; isn’t it possible?

In such situations, neither of them had much experience.

Weng Pinting took two steps forward, raised the first finger: "Secondly, in the vast majority of universities, the investigation into academic misconduct of in-service teachers doesn’t formally start just because someone reports it."

Weng Pinting earnestly continued, as if imparting something more important than psychological expertise.

"When a college receives a report, they will first do a preliminary verification, and the standard for this verification is high."

"The reporting party needs to provide something that isn’t ’suspected’, but rather concrete, stand-on-its-own evidence."

"If the report isn’t direct or specific enough, the college usually chooses to handle it internally, following a reminder talk process."

Weng Pinting smacked her lips, "Even if the materials are direct and specific, they might still be handled internally."

Mo Kai and Shi Qianqian blinked, feeling that Weng Pinting was indeed familiar, even proficient.

Weng Pinting then raised the second finger: "Secondly, there’s another troublesome point—regardless of whether the report can lead to a formal investigation, Bi Yanling will receive a warning!"

This was crucial.

"Once she finds out someone is investigating her, she will definitely start removing evidence before the formal investigation begins," Weng Pinting showed a disgusted expression, "like destroying materials, unifying student responses, modifying archive records, etc. By the time we’re really ready with evidence, she’d probably have washed it clean several times over."

Mo Kai and Shi Qianqian nodded repeatedly, thinking the senior sister was indeed proficient.

"This will be very troublesome," Weng Pinting continued, "After all, Bi Yanling also has a mentor, and her husband does too."

She pursed her lips, "No matter how unqualified she is, she is still an associate professor at Beidu Normal University. This position itself is a resource with connections; she has her own mentor and school relations, and these people will want to protect her."

"No matter how she came to be, she ultimately holds an associate professor position, and even the college will have considerations about the chain reaction."

Mo Kai and Shi Qianqian exchanged a glance. It turned out that bringing down a formally titled university teacher was indeed troublesome.

Even teachers of the same level find it challenging to take action, let alone the vast student body.

Simply helpless.

Of course, given Bai Qinghua’s status, if he really gets serious and goes all out, Bi Yanling certainly wouldn’t hold up. Both the people behind Bi Yanling and their own college would have to weigh the pros and cons.

But such actions ultimately come at a cost. After all, Bi Yanling is an associate professor; even if she’s eventually brought down, the project team would consume considerable energy and favors.

"This battle isn’t just about winning—it’s about winning cleanly, making sure the opponent can’t recover, and ensure no one can find fault with us!"

Weng Pinting stretched her arms: "I want a landslide victory."

When she said this, Weng Pinting resembled a lioness watching a gazelle on the savannah, with eyes full of hunger.

Mo Kai and Shi Qianqian, as fellow apprentices, couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated.

But right after feeling intimidated, deep down, both of them couldn’t help but feel a hint of—passion.

The scene depicted of blood flowing like a river was truly exhilarating just thinking about it!

"So we need an occasion," Weng Pinting decided, "an unavoidable, public occasion for her. We will reasonably expose all her issues in this setting, making enough people aware of her problems."

"Expose them to the extent that the college can’t suppress it, and those behind her can’t protect her!"

Shi Qianqian had already opened her notebook, humbly seeking guidance, "For example?"

Weng Pinting and Bai Qinghua exchanged a glance, chuckling softly.

"Didn’t she previously dismiss Xiaowan’s opening report as worthless?"

"To target Xiaowan, she even criticized many students together, and their opening reports didn’t pass."

"With so many students, the college is planning to organize a review meeting."
