Chapter 72 - Public Opinion Is Brewing
Qin Ran hadn’t been online since she confirmed that Tian Mo Corporation had changed the content on the official website yesterday. As for what Mrs. Qin meant by going back on her word, she didn’t know at all. Instead of wasting her breath here, she might as well hang up the phone and go online to understand the situation.
The public opinion that the various famous lawyers should defend Qin Ran for free had indeed been suppressed. However, there was a new situation. The various universities seemed to have discussed it and released statements in less than two hours this morning.
“Ever since the school was established, it has always adhered to the principle of nurturing students with morals, intelligence, physique, beauty, and overall development for the society. It has never used marks as the only standard for admissions of new students. Therefore, if anyone has bad behavior and conduct, the school has the right to reject them.”
Not only did they release the statement at the same time, but the statement was also the same.
The key was that under the various major statements, they collectively tagged Zhang Lan. The universities that Zhang Lan had already applied for specially issued an announcement to reject her.
She was really impressed by the ability of society to fight for justice. All the major netizens were also supporting Qin Ran, so that she would not bow down to the school bullying incident no matter what.
The Zhang family.
Zhang Lan, who thought that the matter was finally over, was still sleeping in. Mr. Zhang kicked open her door and dragged her out.
“You troublemaker, how can you still sleep? Do you know that you’re about to die?!” Mr. Zhang said as he threw a phone to Zhang Lan to let her see what had happened.
Mrs. Zhang also caught up quickly and tried her best to protect her daughter. “It’s useless even if you beat her to death.”
“This Qin Ran doesn’t keep her word at all. She clearly said that she wouldn’t pursue the matter anymore…” Before Zhang Lan could finish speaking, she was already sobbing.
“This isn’t something she can control at all. She did as she said and didn’t sue you or pursue your responsibility. However, the major universities all issued a statement under the pressure of public opinion, afraid that they would take you in.”
Zhang Lan was annoying no matter where she went. The various universities treated her like rat shit, afraid that she would ruin everything.
“Dad, Mom, what should I do?” Zhang Lan lay on the ground and cried.
“Hubby, quickly think of a way. We can’t just watch as our daughter doesn’t go to a university!” Mrs. Zhang pulled Mr. Zhang’s sleeves and begged.
“If you had known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place? Why am I so unlucky to have a daughter like you?” Mr. Zhang shouted. He originally wanted to just leave, but he really couldn’t bear to see his daughter and wife like this. He added, “From the looks of it, all of those domestic universities will not want you. You can only go to an overseas university to lie low for a while.”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she and Zhang Lan hugged each other and cried.
“Mom, I don’t want to go overseas. I’m not familiar with the place.”
“I can’t bear to part with you either, but fortunately, it’s only for four years. Come back after you finish university.”
In the Mo Residence.
Qin Ran watched as the comments multiplied. Now, there were already people who dug out the universities she applied for. The comments section was filled with emotions again.
“With such high scores, why did she apply for such an ordinary school?!”
“Qin Ran is completely worthy of attending the best university in the country. I feel that there must be something hidden.”
“The secret is definitely not small. Qin Ran has suffered too much previously. We have to seek justice for Qin Ran!”
These netizens were too enthusiastic! They wanted to seek justice at the drop of a hat. They probably treated the Internet as an ancient martial world and relied on chivalry to survive.
They even said that she had some hidden secrets. Qin Ran smiled bitterly. What hidden secrets could she have? She was just worried that she would encounter enemies in a university filled with experts because of her status.
Thinking of this, Qin Ran slapped her forehead. Wasn’t this her secret? If her identity was exposed, or if the netizens really helped her seek justice and let her go to the top universities in the country, what would she do?
No, no, this public opinion could not continue to ferment. She could not become the center of attention again.
Now, even the Tian Mo Corporation could not control the popularity of public opinion. It seemed that she could only find Tang Yan, her life-and-death partner in the National Security Bureau.
Qin Ran immediately got up from the bed and walked around the villa while looking for food. After confirming that Mo Chi was not at home, she immediately returned to her room and turned on her laptop.
She searched the website and entered her account ID and password to log in. She used her social account to directly call Tang Yan.
