Chapter 83(1/2)
Lu Chuan was a professor invited by the old dean himself. He seemed to have a good relationship with the dean. The director didn't say much, and walked out of the classroom in a piss, keeping looking at the watch time.
This is so angry that this guy is not in a hurry at all.
He originally thought he wouldn't come to class anymore, but he didn't expect that he would come anyway. He wanted to change to another teacher and didn't know where to hide. He even appeared on campus openly!
Two teachers passed by the director and asked, "It's almost time to get off work, so why don't Director Zhao go home?"
Director Zhao pointed helplessly at the classroom: "When the great god is over."
"Why, he still wants you to wait outside, Director?"
Director Zhao snorted contemptuously: "Who asked him to be the one invited back from the nursing home in person?"
"No matter how good his relationship with the dean is, if something happens like this, I will be proud of it for a few days."
"Absolutely, the college will deal with this matter seriously."
The two teachers showed meaningful expressions on their faces: "Director, then we'll leave first, you're busy."
Twenty minutes later, the office.
Director Zhao poured Lu Chuan a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Lu, you have been in our college for less than half a semester."
"Director, you can just say anything."
Lu Chuan never likes to beat around the bush when dealing with people.
"Then I'll just say it."
The director sat at his desk and looked at Lu Chuan: "The evaluation of you on the Internet is very controversial!"
"From high school to college, there are many controversial comments about me."
Lu Chuan said lightly: "I am a person who is upright and not afraid of shadow slanting."
“Yes yes.”
The director laughed awkwardly: "Of course, the leaders of the college still believe in Teacher Lu's character and will never do such beastly behavior."
He intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the word "beast".
"but."
The director took a sip of tea, and his mouse-like eyes flashed and looked at Lu Chuan: "That video... doesn't seem to be fake!"
"The video is true, and I said the words."
Lu Chuan sat on the sofa and said lightly: "But that girl is my girlfriend."
"girlfriend?"
The director said in surprise, "Our school has clear regulations that teachers and students cannot fall in love!"
"She is not a student of our school, she is from S University."
"Oh, no...no."
The director helped his glasses: "It seems that this is a misunderstanding."
"Um."
"But the social impact of this matter is very bad."
The director said: "Teacher Lu should clarify it earlier. Look, making such news is not only the damage to your personal reputation, but the reputation of our School of Physics and even the University of B has been affected. In this way, I will contact the college leaders to have a meeting and hold a press conference this afternoon to clarify this matter. In this way, you can call your girlfriend quickly to prepare."
Lu Chuan pondered: "I'm afraid it's not very convenient, she's on a business trip."
"On business trip?"
The director was incredible: "Can't you rush back?"
"I'm afraid not."
Lu Chuan said: "No need for her. I can do it alone at the press conference. After all, I am the person involved. My friends around me know that if I need it, they can come and prove it."
The director looked at Lu Chuan and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked in a strange way: "You just said that your girlfriend is from S?"
"yes."
"student?"
"postgraduate."
"oh……"
"Then it happens. I will contact the school official media and post a clarified Weibo first. You'd better contact your girlfriend to come back, okay?"
Lu Chuan felt more and more irritable. Chuchu had just left for a few days and called her back for such illusory and absurd rumors. Not only did she delay her work, but she also worked hard to run back and forth.
"I try my best."
Lu Chuan stood up and was about to go out, but the director seemed to remember something again and said to Lu Chuan: "Teacher Lu, before this matter is resolved, you can temporarily suspend classes."
Lu Chuan was about to step out of the office door and suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the director, asking in confusion: "Class suspension?"
The director picked up a class schedule from the college teacher and murmured: "Your basic physics class will not be taken tomorrow. When things are solved, you will reopen it, considering the students... well, considering the public opinion."
“But this will delay my course progress.”
Lu Chuan said expressionlessly: "The content of each class is very large, and I don't want to delay it."
"This is not my own decision. It was the unanimous decision after discussion by the college leaders. After all, your matter is quite sensitive. Now, on campus, you can post it online with a casual shot on your phone. What I fear most is the news that the professors and students can't figure it out, and the social impact is very serious."
"She is my girlfriend."
Lu Chuan emphasized in a calm voice: "I have been with her for many years."
"I know, but the public doesn't know! In their eyes, you are just a mess with the students... Teacher, the college made this decision because of the public influence."
The director walked to Lu Chuan and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, once this matter is clarified, the college will resume your courses immediately."
Lu Chuan pursed his lips and was about to say something, but looking at the director's hateful face, he gave up, turned around and walked out of the office door with a cold face.
Two hours later, the school’s official media posted a text message to clarify the incident. The Weibo first apologized to the public for the adverse effects of the incident, and then explained that the female classmate in the video was Professor Lu Chuan’s girlfriend, and was not a student of the school. Their words were just flirting.
The content of that Weibo post was not much, it was vague and the explanation was pale. It did not calm the public's anger, but instead stirred up another wave of criticism.
"Haha, this crisis public relations are quite powerless."
"Girlfriend, my girlfriend is also a female student, right?"
"God knows how that professor turned a female student into a girlfriend."
"As a professor who teaches and educates people, saying such disgusting things to students in the classroom is not sexual harassment?"
After that, another so-called insider came forward and said that Professor Lu Chuan was indeed dating a female student, and the two even lived together. This was what he saw with his own eyes and would not be wrong.
This incident continued to ferment, and even at the door of Lu Chuan's research institute, the journalists were blocked and wanted to interview Lu Chuan.
"Did you harass the female student?"
"You are still so young, how did you get the title of professor at University B?
Does this have anything to do with your family background?”
"Clarify that the female student is your girlfriend, did you use your privilege to coerce her to be with you?"
"Why didn't she come forward to explain this?"
"Have you had sex with this female student?"
Facing the reporter of Dog Skin Plaster who was chasing him, Lu Chuan did not restrain his anger and burst out loud: "Stay away from me! Get out!"
After the incident got worse, Fang Ya called Lu Chuan almost immediately.
"You are ready to go abroad now."
Lu Chuan was lying on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking decadent: "Ha?"
"Go out and avoid it."
"Avoid a hammer..." Lu Chuan almost sweared, and suddenly remembered that the other end of the phone was his own mother.
"It seems guilty when you escape at the last battle."
Lu Chuan said: "The school is preparing for a press conference and will clarify."
"You have been abroad in the past few years and don't understand the situation in China."
Although Fang Ya made her voice sound calm, she still couldn't suppress the expression of concern.
"Now there are pushers behind cyber violence, which can almost kill you."
"What are you afraid of?"
Lu Chuan said lightly: "By my strength..."
Fang Ya directly interrupted him: "No matter how high your social reputation and strength you have, they can ruin you.
Son, listen to your mother, go out to avoid it first. I heard from Professor Steven that the Fermi Accelerator Laboratory is very interested in your scientific research results. You can go to their laboratory to see, their platform is more capable than in China…”
"Mom, why do you want to drive your son out?"
Lu Chuan said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Are you willing to give up?"
