Chapter 888: Chapter 491: Female Secretary, You Successfully Aroused My... (Please Subscribe)_2

Seeing the situation, Ding Yue glanced at the time again.

Well, well.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the meeting had already reached noon.

"Secretary Little Wen!"

Ding Yue immediately called out to Wen Ruohan, the secretary standing outside.

It was about time for Secretary Wen Ruohan to bring lunch over for everyone.

Because Ding Yue was planning to continue the meeting and discuss matters afterward.

"Principal Ding, I’m here~"

Wen Ruohan’s voice came from the entrance of the conference room.

Wen Ruohan pushed open the glass door of the meeting room holding a bag with boxed lunches.

Then Wen Ruohan walked in with Big White.

"Principal Ding, I’ve brought the food!"

Wen Ruohan immediately placed the boxed lunches on the conference room table.

Seeing this, Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction.

Who would have thought Wen Ruohan could be so efficient and quick in bringing lunch for everyone?

"Let’s eat first, everyone. After that, we’ll continue the meeting,"

Ding Yue promptly said to everyone in the conference room.

Everyone in the conference room knew that the matter being discussed at today’s meeting was very important. Naturally, it would be best if it could be resolved in one meeting, so they all understood the arrangement to have boxed lunches now and continue the meeting afterward.

Wen Ruohan quickly distributed the boxed lunches.

With the smell of the fragrant lunches and their growing hunger, everyone’s appetite surely increased, and they couldn’t wait to open their lunches and start eating.

Ding Yue too joined everyone in eating the boxed lunch, and it must be said, even the boxed lunches from Mist City Arts and Science University’s canteen number two were quite tasty.

"Xiao Wen, you’ve delivered the lunch pretty timely,"

While eating, Ding Yue praised Wen Ruohan.

He had just intended to ask Wen Ruohan to bring lunch for everyone, but as soon as he called out for her, she had already arrived with the food.

It was as if whatever Ding Yue needed, his secretary Wen Ruohan could immediately provide.

That feeling.

Was just too awesome, right?

"Heeheehee, Principal Ding, it was a task you assigned,"

Wen Ruohan grinned and said.

"Oh right, Principal Ding, there is something I wanted to... never mind, I’ll wait until after your meeting to tell you,"

Wen Ruohan originally wanted to mention it.

But then she thought that Principal Ding was about to continue the meeting, and she was worried that telling him the news from the internet would disrupt his meeting.

If that was the case, then it would be better to wait until after the meeting to talk about it.

"What’s the matter? You’re being all mysterious?"

Ding Yue looked at Wen Ruohan curiously, asking.

"It’s just... Ah, it’s nothing, nothing,"

Wen Ruohan almost let slip.

But another voice in her head told her she shouldn’t talk about it, as revealing it would certainly affect Principal Ding’s meeting to come.

After all, this wasn’t exactly good news.

"You young lady, have you learned to keep people in suspense?" Ding Yue glared at Wen Ruohan and said, "Don’t you understand my personality yet? I like people who speak their mind and are straightforward."

"Ah, this..."

Wen Ruohan was taken aback, then nervously said, "Principal Ding, I was just worried that talking about this might distract you from the meeting later."

"You’ve already piqued my curiosity,"

Ding Yue shrugged and said.

Now how am I supposed to continue eating without knowing?

Ding Yue realized that’s how the human mind works.

When you want to know something and someone doesn’t tell you, you get more and more anxious.

Ding Yue was now feeling a bit of this.

This was also the reason he usually didn’t like to keep people in suspense; he preferred being direct in his communications.

"Principal Ding, can I speak now?"

Wen Ruohan asked cautiously.

"Go ahead, what happened? Has something bad happened at Mist City Arts and Science University again?" Ding Yue asked.

"Mm-hmm."

Wen Ruohan nodded.

It seemed like it really wasn’t good news.

"Principal Ding, I don’t know how it happened, but starting this morning, a lot of education experts, big accounts in education, and educational institutions started attacking us on Twitter, and it has reached trending. Our Mist City Arts and Science University is being trashed terribly; it’s infuriating!"

As Wen Ruohan started talking about it, she couldn’t help but get angry.

Those people were terrible, inexplicably slandering and spreading rumors about Mist City Arts and Science University. They must have taken money; they really have no conscience, no moral bottom line at all.

"Oh? People are still bad-mouthing Mist City Arts and Science University? What’s the reason?"

Ding Yue asked, clearly puzzled.

"They’re saying that we, Mist City Arts and Science University, refused the exchange students from the academic alliance in The United States, and that’s what started the backlash."

Wen Ruohan said, clearly annoyed.

"Haha."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue laughed.

"Principal Ding, you can still laugh? This is trending. We need to issue a clarification or engage in public relations right away."

Wen Ruohan was extremely anxious, promptly suggesting a course of action.

"The thing is true. I did refuse the exchange students from the American academic alliance, the internet’s buzzing shouldn’t be wrong. But about this matter..."

Ding Yue shrugged and said, "There might be someone pushing this from behind."

"What?"

Wen Ruohan looked baffled.

Principal Ding said there were forces behind this—could it be related to what he and Director Xu talked about this morning?

Wen Ruohan wasn’t very clear on it either.

"So, Principal Ding, are we just going to ignore it? So many people are slandering us online, and there are many big accounts setting the narrative against us, speaking ill of Mist City Arts and Science University. Even Headline News and Surging News, these two media outlets, have posted Twitter posts slandering our university. They’re the most aggressive in leading the charge."

Wen Ruohan said, unwilling to let it slide.

"Heh, Headline News, Surging News, aren’t they both notorious for profiting from others’ miseries, and now they’ve dragged us into it?"

Ding Yue couldn’t help but sneer.

Just thinking about those two media outlets on Twitter made him sick.

Those media outlets were infamous for indulging in sensationalism at the expense of others’ hardships, and for somehow always failing to address the real issues when reporting the news. They’ve utterly trampled on the baseline of journalism.

"Principal Ding, I think we should issue a statement; that would be better."

Wen Ruohan continued to recommend.

At this time, netizens were waiting for a statement from Mist City Arts and Science University. Otherwise, the narrative would only grow. Eventually, even white could be painted black.

"Let me finish the meeting, and then I’ll deal with this properly. Trash media outlets and greedy influencers will get what’s coming to them!"

Saying so, Ding Yue decided to put the matter aside for now.

After lunch, they still had to continue the meeting. Today’s meeting was what Ding Yue was most focused on at the moment.

"Mm-hmm, you go on and have a good meeting, Principal Ding. Don’t let this disturb you. Once the meeting is over, we’ll take down these bad media!"

Wen Ruohan nodded and said.

Listening to Wen Ruohan’s words, Ding Yue felt something was a bit off.

Her tone was quite cute, yet it carried a bit of anger regarding the issue, along with a defiant attitude, and...

Anyhow.

Ding Yue could sense many feelings in Wen Ruohan’s words.

The girl had a strong sense of honor for the school.

Soon, Ding Yue and everyone in the conference room finished their lunchboxes.

Wen Ruohan quickly cleaned up all the lunchboxes, wiped the conference table, took the trash bags, and went out.

"Big White, let’s go."

After leaving the conference room, Wen Ruohan noticed Big White hadn’t followed, so she poked her head back in and called Big White again.

Upon hearing Wen Ruohan’s command, Big White also followed her out.

"Alright then, everyone, let’s continue with the meeting..."
