Inside the auditorium, everyone watching this scene was momentarily stunned.
"The principal of Experimental Middle School seems to be going a bit off the deep end."
"Is he trying to get Lin Ye to transfer to Experimental Middle School?"
"And even offering a scholarship?"
The students found it hard to believe.
Shan City First Middle School and Experimental Middle School had always been neck and neck, without a clear dividing line.
In other words, the student levels at the two schools were actually quite similar over the years.
Though Lin Ye seemed to have willingly dropped out, it was obvious that Principal Qiu Dafu couldn't wait for him to leave.
But here's the principal of an equally-ranked Experimental Middle School clamoring to get Lin Ye to transfer and even offering a scholarship??
This certainly made it difficult for the students in the auditorium to accept.
"Whoa... everyone look at the news! Something big happened!" someone shouted at that moment.
Only then did everyone realize that out of fear of Qiu Dafu, no one dared to look at their phones just now.
So naturally, they didn't know what had happened outside in just that half-hour.
Immediately, everyone took out their phones...
"Whoa!"
"What the hell!"
In an instant, gasps of astonishment filled the entire auditorium.
"Lin Ye actually cleared the Abyssal-Level Secret Realm? And he even got an SSS-Class evaluation!"
"Damn... and dropped a purple quality longbow!"
"Lin Ye is already Level 5? And it's only the first day! This is insane!"
Because when Lin Ye cleared it, none of the people present were at the Professional Plaza, so they didn't see the notification from the Professional Center.
The crucial thing is, everyone was in a meeting just now, and nobody dared to look at their phones!
So this shocking news, not a single person knew.
Obviously, the principal of Experimental Middle School wanted to recruit Lin Ye the moment he got the news.
This is not surprising. With Lin Ye's current performance, any reputable university would gladly accept him if he wished to go!
That's just how overwhelming it is!
Principal Qiu Dafu looked at his students' discussions with a bewildered expression.
"Principal, Lin Ye, should we go stop him now?" a teacher stepped forward and asked.
Clearly, for a top student like Lin Ye, he certainly can't be allowed to drop out!
More so, since the principal of Experimental Middle School has already gone, you as the principal should at least make an appearance, right?
Qiu Dafu started to stammer...
To be honest, he was regretting it now!
But to plead with Lin Ye to come back, wouldn't that be a blow to his dignity?
"Here's the plan: I'll first give the bureau a heads up, telling them not to authorize any operations concerning Lin Ye's school records. You gather Teacher Chen and convince Lin Ye to admit his mistake to me tomorrow. As long as he is sincere, I won't hold a grudge over him defying me just now!"
Qiu Dafu still said.
The teachers were all a bit speechless...
Isn't your attitude a bit too arrogant?
But Qiu Dafu did have some power, because he indeed had connections in Shan City's educational bureau.
If he wished to, keeping Lin Ye's records at Shan City First Middle School by force wasn't a difficult task.
Otherwise, someone like Qiu Dafu, who's quite a glutton and drunkard, wouldn't have made it to being the principal of Shan City First Middle School.
As long as members of the Professional Alliance didn't show up, Qiu Dafu was quite influential in Shan City's educational sector.
"What are you still standing here for? Hurry and do as I say!" Qiu Dafu blew his beard and glared.
Finally, one teacher spoke up, "But... you've already approved Teacher Chen's resignation application, we don't know where to find him."
Qiu Dafu's face immediately fell...
He didn't expect such a swift turn of events!
Just then, Principal Lu of Experimental Middle School returned to the auditorium with a frustrated expression, evidently with nothing achieved.
"What's the matter? Did Lin Ye refuse you? I told you, Lin Ye would be reluctant to leave Shan City First Middle School where he's been nurtured for so long!"
Qiu Dafu's face relaxed a bit seeing Principal Lu's gloomy look, even feeling a tad smug.
But Principal Lu merely cast an annoyed glance at him and said, "The kid just vanished, who knows where he got such speed from..."
Saying this, Principal Lu looked a bit regretful...
If he had acted quicker and coaxed Lin Ye into his school earlier, there wouldn't be anything to worry about.
However, Qiu Dafu clearly had caught on by now, with his methods and style, forcing Lin Ye to stay at Shan City First Middle School would be easy.
"What's the point of fighting over someone the Professional Alliance's investigation department considers a criminal?"
Su Yaoyao commented disdainfully.
The voice wasn't loud but was clear enough for many, including the two principals, to hear.
Principal Lu of Experimental Middle School was momentarily speechless looking at Su Yaoyao.
This girl, could she be so blinded by envy?
Setting aside the case of Lin Ye trading the Professional Badge, even if Lin Ye was proven to have sold the Professional Badge, with Qiu Dafu's connections, he could still smooth things out.
After all, even someone as inept as Qiu Dafu must know Lin Ye's worth...
But, coincidentally at this moment, Qiu Dafu received a call, and his expression changed immediately, "Director Qin from the investigation department is coming again? Ah? He's already heading towards the auditorium?"
The group of teachers exchanged bewildered glances...
Why is today so eventful?
The students in the auditorium were also surprised, could it be that Su Yaoyao was right, someone was coming to arrest Lin Ye?
Soon, a team of uniformed staff appeared outside the auditorium.
"Director Qin! Are you here to arrest Lin Ye? He just ran off, I can take you to his home to find him!" Su Yaoyao was the first to jump out, speaking to Director Qin.
This scene was somewhat embarrassing.
"No need, we've investigated Lin Ye's situation and his account funds are very clean, not a single issue!" Director Qin said calmly.
Su Yaoyao was stunned, "How is that possible? His transaction records clearly show a huge unexplained deposit of a million!"
Hearing this, Director Qin just chuckled coldly, "Still want to talk? I'm here to bring you back for investigation concerning the leak of personal banking information! Come with us!"
Su Yaoyao was suddenly thunderstruck, breaking down immediately!
"Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything! This is an abuse of power!" Su Yaoyao cried out, but she was already being hauled off by the staff.
Everyone in the auditorium watching this scene was a bit dumbfounded.
Who would've thought that Su Yaoyao, who was clamoring to arrest Lin Ye, ended up getting arrested herself...
