The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius
Chapter 303: Falling Off the Horse! Is the Identity of Doctor M Enough?

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Falling Off the Horse! Is the Identity of Doctor M Enough?

"My identity?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, a hint of a smile on her lips.

The smile was laced with three parts mockery and seven parts coolness.

Her whole presence was commanding, her voice deep and boundless.

Although she was smiling, it sent chills down one’s spine, as if one had provoked King Yanluo himself.

With a casual lift of her pen, she could seemingly decide the fate of life and death on the Book of Life and Death.

"Dr. M, is this identity sufficient to clear up all your doubts?"

The girl was still smiling, a smile that pierced to the bone.

"What identity as Dr. M?" the short-haired girl looked confused.

Jiang Man became a bit irritated, tapping her fingers heavily on the conference table, the rhythm becoming very fast.

"I am Dr. M," she said.

Her voice did not fluctuate at all, but it was full of penetrating power.

The conference room was silent for a long while.

"What? Li... Auntie, you..."

Lu Yingxue had the most significant reaction, turning her head to look at Jiang Man, her eyes wide and round.

The short-haired girl started with a bewildered look, then quickly scoffed, "Ha! What kind of international joke is this? If you’re Dr. M, then I might as well be the director of a research institute! Who can’t boast?"

Jiang Man stopped smiling and said not another word.

Just then, the four from the discipline inspection committee all stood up in unison.

Almost as if by agreement, they bowed deeply towards Jiang Man, "Doctor, this classmate has openly insulted you, and we offer our sincere apologies on her behalf. As for the entire incident, we will continue the investigation and will give both you and this classmate a satisfactory explanation."

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, "So I can take her away now?"

"Yes, you may do as you please."

"Yingxue, let’s go," Jiang Man stood up.

Lu Yingxue was still in shock, almost automatically standing up, moving as if she were a walking corpse.

Despite her worldview being upended, deeming the notion of her little auntie being Dr. M as preposterous.

But from the reaction of the several committee members, it all... seemed to be true...

"Oh my God." Lu Yingxue cried out belatedly, covering her mouth.

The short-haired girl was still standing there, dumbfounded, digesting this unlikely reality.

A female university student is Dr. M?

That’s a joke!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The short-haired girl felt her whole cognition had been completely overturned, even though she was aware that at top institutions like Tsinghua and Peking University, it was possible for youngsters to earn their doctorates at seventeen or eighteen.

But she refused to accept the fact that Jiang Man was Dr. M.

"Haven’t you guys made a mistake? Just because she says she is Dr. M, you all believe her?"

Having said that, she reached out to stop Jiang Man, unwilling to let her go.

"This student, the matter confirmed by Captain Wu himself can’t be wrong, show some respect!" a discipline inspector rebuked.

The short-haired girl still appeared unafraid, "I have no trust in this Captain Wu to begin with, his words are completely unreliable!"

While she was ranting and demanding proof of Jiang Man’s identity, the office door was pushed open.

A group of people marched in with an impressive presence.

The one in the lead was quite old, dressed casually, wearing round glasses, with an air of academia about him.

"President... Your timing is perfect!" The short-haired girl seemed to see a savior.

The president of Tsinghua and Peking University held great prestige at the school, and he was not only the headmaster in charge of the school but also the approachable ’Grandfather Yang’ to the students.

Following behind the president was the head of academic affairs.

When the head of academic affairs saw Jiang Man, he was visibly startled for a moment, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.

"This student from another school, posing as Dr. M, and this Captain Wu, who was in charge of this research institute’s recruitment at Tsinghua and Peking University, I suspect he has taken bribes privately. Every slot has a designated nominee, and Lu Yingxue has taken the place that should have belonged to another student! I hope the president can uphold justice for us!"

"I am well aware of the whole story, and I have also watched the full surveillance of the lecture that day," President Yang said soothingly, speaking unhurriedly but with great authority.

The short-haired girl was excited, thinking that the president had come to seek justice for her.

But who would have thought, the next second...

The president, along with the head of academic affairs and several other members of the board of directors, turned in unison and bowed to Jiang Man.

"I am terribly sorry, Doctor. On behalf of the Tsinghua and Peking University President’s Office, the board of directors, and all the teachers, I would like to extend our sincerest apologies to you and express our shame for having taught such a student!"

Short-haired girl: "???"

"Lu Yingxue being admitted to the research institute is a joy I share as president, and I am deeply honored."

"This student has offended you repeatedly. We will criticize and educate her afterwards, and she will be disqualified from being considered for any school awards this year and will lose points for her ideological and moral credit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man’s expression barely changed, and she spoke in an indifferent tone, "How you punish her is the school’s business. I expect her to apologize to Lu Yingxue publicly in front of the entire school, and in addition, have this incident recorded in her school records."

To have it recorded in the school records...

A seemingly light sentence, yet it completely shattered the inner defenses of the short-haired girl.

So she has to live with the negative impact of this matter for the rest of her life?

When looking for a job, taking the civil service exam, or joining the party...

So at every highlight of her life, this incident will be brought out as a disgrace for people to enjoy and talk about with relish.

On the surface, her character and morals are questionable, but in reality, she has offended Dr. M.

Who would dare to hire such a person in the future? And even if they dared, who would dare to entrust her with important responsibilities?

The short-haired girl was alarmed, even the president called Jiang Man ’Doctor’, and no matter how much she didn’t want to acknowledge it, she had to.

"Doctor... I was wrong... Please... don’t put this in my record, okay? If it really goes in there, I’m finished..."

As she spoke, the girl’s voice trembled, her eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help but cry out loud.

Jiang Man felt not a ripple inside and even found it laughable.

If she had known this day would come, why act the way she did in the first place?

She had given the girl chances, once, twice.

When one is at their peak, pushing aggressively, why don’t they consider the situation for others when the tables turn?

"Research isn’t just about intelligence. Do you know why our ’Two Bombs, One Satellite’ is so beloved by our countrymen? It’s not just because they were made when our country was poor and starting from scratch, but because the great people who made the ’Two Bombs, One Satellite’ were willing to fight for their lives for the greater national good, for the survival of the country, breaking through layers of blockade by the United States, even facing countless assassination attempts. They refused the generous offers from America and, at the risk of their lives, chose to return to their homeland, to a country that had nothing and needed rebuilding. Does science have borders? Yes!"

"In today’s society, we do research not as some sort of personal-heroism, but as it relates to the future development of our nation. Without even this awareness, how do you qualify to enter the research institute? You, such as you are, do not deserve to be involved in research for your entire life!"

Jiang Man had never had the patience to give such a long speech before.

When she finished speaking, the room was so moved, it was as if their very souls had been shaken, filled with a passionate fervor.

Everyone fell silent, including that girl...
