But how could others not know about this, but Ruan Hao not know? Such extraordinary performance requires a foundation of real skill. No matter how much one exceeds expectations, itâs impossible to elevate an associateâs degree performance to the level of a top national university.
Ruan Hao delved deeply into the matter, and then everything was brought to light.
Initially, Ruan Hao had no intention of taking action against Zheng Jiaojiao. Investigating her background was just to ensure she wouldnât have a chance to trouble Jiaojiao in the future. Unexpectedly, he uncovered all this and didnât hide it, bringing it all before the principal.
The principal was shocked and furious upon receiving this information.
They specially arranged for someone to verify the incident, and during verification, they discovered six more students who, like Zheng Jiaojiao, had gained admission through the back door using fake identities.
The principal was a resolute person, and during military training, the facts were thoroughly verified. Reports were made during the holiday, and within a week, higher authorities issued a notification. Not only were all these students dismissed, but everyone involved was also punished.
The first to bear the brunt was, of course, the teacher from the admissions office who took bribes, along with Ye Zuyaâs father.
Ye Zuyaâs father was a doctoral advisor at the school and considered a "big figure." If it hadnât been Ruan Hao investigating this matter, the punishment would probably have only resulted in Zheng Jiaojiaoâs dismissal, and his position wouldnât have been shaken, merely facing a light penalty.
But Ruan Hao was the one who investigated, with pressure from the Duan Family.
So, Ye Zuyaâs father was directly dismissed by the school.
The reason for dismissal was such that Advisor Yeâs reputation in the academic circle was tarnished, a matter of personal integrity and morality, making it impossible for any school to hire him again.
Ye Zuya was initially shocked when she learned about it. She never expected her father to do something like this for her foolish cousin, but what angered her more was Ruan Haoâs heartlessness.
After all, her father had once been his mentor. How could he be so unfeeling?
So she took the schoolâs notice of punishment against her father to confront Ruan Hao. She initially thought Ruan Hao would at least feel some guilt, but she hadnât expected him to coldly tell her to watch her words.
It was just after class, and many students from Jiaojiaoâs class had gathered, surrounding the office. Even though other classes didnât know what had happened, they curiously gathered around too, making the office packed tight.
The department head heard about the situation and rushed over, dispersing the onlookers while signaling to Ye Zuya, "Ms. Ye, this is a notice from the higher-ups and has nothing to do with Mr. Ruan. You should be more cautious with your words."
Ye Zuyaâs composure returned in the face of Ruan Haoâs cold demeanor. Seeing the students surrounding them, she wasnât foolish; she knew that confronting Ruan Hao so angrily wouldnât solve anything and would only draw criticism.
She lowered her eyelids and took a deep breath, as if the person who was just angry wasnât her. With her head down, she picked up the written notice from the ground, then looked up at Ruan Hao, and said word by word, "Ruan Hao, youâll regret this."
