He could only try to make amends little by little in the future.
However, his attempt to transfer Xiao Yuanyang away from Jingcheng University encountered resistance. It was rumored that someone in authority had intervened, and Xiao Yuanyang could not be transferred away from Jingcheng University for the time being.
Upon receiving this feedback, the principal felt a moment of unwillingness and disappointment.
Why should someone like Xiao Yuanyang continue to stay at Jingcheng University and harm its reputation?
But since someone had already spoken, there was no room for him to maneuver.
In the following days, although the principal could not get rid of Xiao Yuanyang, he found ways to strip him of his power, rendering his position nominal and devoid of real authority.
When he first started doing this, the principal had worried if Xiao Yuanyang's backers would have any objections.
However, after he made his move, he encountered no resistance at all. In fact, the principal felt as if someone was helping him.
Xiao Yuanyang had been at Jingcheng University for many years and had some influence. Initially, he had thought about resisting the principal.
But his actions were truly looked down upon by the school's leadership, and they squeezed him out both openly and implicitly.
Yet, he was powerless to face all this, and every day he had to hear news about how excellent Su Xiaotian was.
People are like this; when they are unknown, they remain unknown.
When an unknown person suddenly becomes famous, many people will naturally pay attention to her.
In less than a month, Su Xiaotian appeared on television once and in newspapers three times.
Xiao Yuanyang felt a pain in his heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, but he could not take any measures to suppress her.
He could only watch her shine.
Just as Su Xiaotian was at the peak of her fame, something happened to someone in Dormitory 314.
The person who had the incident was none other than Yin Ruyun.
Yin Ruyun suddenly fainted in the classroom one day, and her classmates rushed her to the school hospital.
After Yin Ruyun regained consciousness, she immediately stated that she was fine and did not need any examination.
However, she was unaware that some examinations had already been completed while she was unconscious.
As she insisted on leaving the hospital, the doctor came to inform her that she was two months pregnant.
As the female doctor spoke, she looked at Yin Ruyun with contempt.
Girls nowadays are truly not self-respecting.
Having a child at such a young age, she would likely only face expulsion from school.
Her period had been absent for a long time, and Yin Ruyun had suspected there might be an issue, but she never expected it to be true.
She had been worried about this issue before and dared not go to the hospital for a check-up, fearing that others would find out.
But she never expected that this doctor would say it out loud in front of everyone.
Now, she had lost all her dignity.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm a pure maiden, how can I be pregnant? You're a quack, a quack!"
Shouting loudly, Yin Ruyun stormed out of the room.
However, the classmates who brought her there, as well as other students who came to see the doctor, still spread the news.
Su Xiaotian had not accompanied Yin Ruyun, so when she heard the news of Yin Ruyun's pregnancy, she was extremely shocked.
The other girls in the dormitory thought Su Xiaotian was just a child and did not let her hear such things, fearing she would be corrupted.
It was true that everyone was shocked by the fact that Yin Ruyun was pregnant.
But their relationships were not good, and they were too embarrassed to ask.
After all, someone like Yin Ruyun could even take a word of concern as mockery, so why should they bother?
Just as everyone was speculating about the trouble Yin Ruyun's pregnancy would bring her, they heard some news.
Yin Ruyun claimed that she had been insulted on the road and that was how she became pregnant.
If that were the case, it was not her fault, and therefore, the school did not pursue the matter with Yin Ruyun. Instead, they followed Yin Ruyun's own request for her to take leave and have surgery.
Yin Ruyun took leave and did not appear for several days, so people stopped thinking about it, and life went on as usual.
Although the school had not decided to discipline Yin Ruyun for this matter, many people at the school expressed doubts about whether Yin Ruyun was a victim.
After all, such things were unsubstantiated. Did she just have to say she was insulted for it to be true? Perhaps she was simply promiscuous.
It was precisely because it was unsubstantiated that no one could say Yin Ruyun was lying.
But no matter what, Yin Ruyun had completely lost face at the school.
In the same class and dormitory, with Su Xiaotian being the center of attention and Yin Ruyun in disarray, it was natural for comparisons to be made between the two.
Su Xiaotian was indifferent to this, but Yin Ruyun's hatred for Su Xiaotian grew upon hearing it.
It must be said that it is precisely like this between people; for those who cannot stand each other, perhaps even the first glance is wrong!
This was the case with Yin Ruyun and Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian's participation in the National Day float became a beautiful story for Jingcheng University.
Even a year later, it was still talked about by the students of Jingcheng University.
However, this incident became a black mark on the record of Vice Principal Xiao Yuanyang.
How blind must one be to refuse a student who was qualified to be on the float to join the school's procession?
Because of this incident, Xiao Yuanyang became a laughingstock for the entire Jingcheng University.
He himself tried to find a change of environment, but after seeking help from many people, he was ultimately unable to achieve his goal.
Xiao Yuanyang had to give up the idea of leaving and persist.
He originally intended to persevere, thinking that losing face was not important, as long as he could endure for a while.
However, he never expected that after nearly a year of bitter persistence, having lost face to the extreme and finally becoming thick-skinned, he would receive a transfer order and be moved to another school.
If he had been transferred to a good school, it would have been fine. But Xiao Yuanyang was not even transferred to any school in Jingcheng; instead, he was sent to the Great Northwest.
Given the caliber of Jingcheng University, a transfer to an external school should at least have resulted in a promotion, making him a principal.
But things did not develop as expected at all. Xiao Yuanyang remained a vice principal.
This caused Xiao Yuanyang to faint and remain in the hospital for a full half month.
Lying in his hospital bed, he still couldn't understand why fate was playing such tricks on him.
Before, when he wanted to leave and change his environment, he couldn't.
Now that he had lost all his face, he was being transferred away. What did this mean?
Moreover, what did it mean to be transferred from a top-tier university like Jingcheng University to a second-tier university in a remote area?
He was unwilling, he refused!
After being discharged from the hospital, Xiao Yuanyang continued to seek out people, trying to manipulate the situation.
Even a second-tier school, staying in Jingcheng was better than enduring the wind in the Great Northwest.
But fate was not in his favor, and he was unable to change the situation until the start of the semester.
