Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Qin Yanyang’s Sixth Sense
"Little... little aunt, you..."
At the VIP exit of the airport, Li Xiaoji, after being publicly slapped, was utterly bewildered. He looked up at his little aunt with a touch of anger in his eyes.
"Smack!"
The voice of protest was interrupted by the sound of a second, even more crisp and loud slap.
This slap was evidently harder than the first. Li Xiaoji spun a complete three hundred and sixty degrees in place and then faced the intellectual beauty appropriately.
After receiving two slaps, Li Xiaoji looked into his little aunt’s bright eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he dared not harbor any doubts or discontent anymore, quickly bowing his head in a submissive, penitent manner.
"Have you never seen a woman before?" The intellectual woman spoke with a soft, gentle voice that sounded pleasant, but it sent a chill through Li Xiaoji.
Li Xiaoji lowered his head and said, "Little aunt, I... I was wrong, I truly was. I’m sorry."
"For a woman, you jeopardized the family’s major affairs. If it weren’t for the old master’s favor toward you, I’d throw you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish, do you believe that?" the woman said coldly.
Li Xiaoji, frightened, began to tremble like a sieve and hastily nodded, "Yes, thank you for your forgiveness, little aunt. I... I realize my mistake, I’ll surely change."
"Can a dog stop eating its poop?" The woman glanced at him with disdain and said indifferently, "Now you have two choices: either go back to apologize to Miss Jin from the Jin family and seek their forgiveness, or stay here quietly and stop doing foolish things."
"I’ll stay here and assist you, little aunt," Li Xiaoji hurriedly said.
If the Jin family weren’t so formidable, would he have run to hide on the Divine Continent?
Going back there would mean suffering; it’s better to stay here.
Although little aunt is quite frightening, she is still of the Li family and ultimately loves me.
The intellectual woman had anticipated his response and said coolly, "You can stay, but if you dare do anything foolish again, I don’t need anyone else to intervene; I will cripple you. Though the old master dotes on you, you are not his only grandson."
Li Xiaoji turned pale with fear, suddenly regretting the decision he had just made.
This little aunt’s status was incredibly unique in the family; she had even crippled her own biological brother before, and he was just one of her many nephews. Provoking her could actually mean he wouldn’t be able to return to his homeland.
But since he had already made a decision, he didn’t dare to change his mind, as his little aunt was decisive and disliked fickleness in others.
"Come with me to Binhai University," the little aunt said to Li Xiaoji.
Li Xiaoji was startled, then a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes, and he joyfully said, "Little aunt, are you helping me take revenge? Hahaha, our Li family’s face is still the most important, I just knew..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was struck by another slap on the face.
He was dumbfounded, looking pitifully and innocently at his little aunt.
The little aunt said coldly, "Go apologize. I’ve already contacted all major media in Binhai. You go and publicly apologize. Remember, your attitude needs to be sincere. Don’t make me angry. Do you understand?"
Li Xiaoji felt like dying.
If he had known this, he’d rather have returned to his country and apologized to the Jin family.
Now he had humiliated himself as far as the Divine Continent Country.
It was unclear what little aunt was thinking, letting a member of the Li Family’s Financial Group apologize to someone else, which was a huge blow to the Li family’s prestige.
And it was such a trivial matter.
He felt infinitely wronged, but Li Xiaoji dared not show it.
Decisions made by the little aunt were not open to question, and if he didn’t strictly follow her directions, the consequences would be dire.
"Remember, if you cannot control public opinion, then adapt to it, and then find a way to guide it until it eventually works in my favor," the woman said casually.
Li Xiaoji listened, confused, but didn’t hinder his nodding continuously to show understanding.
In front of this little aunt, all you need to do is obediently follow her commands.
Shortly after, the group left the airport and got into six cars, heading directly towards Binhai University.
At half-past eight in the evening, in the largest classroom at Binhai University, a leader from the city government responsible for education convened a press conference.
The meeting commenced with the leader directly announcing the punishment of Jiang Guowei, Huang Tingquan, and several other faculty members related to their work.
Jiang Guowei was double-regulated, dismissed from the position of principal, and transferred to an agency for further investigation.
Huang Tingquan, taking advantage of his position, abused his power and repeatedly intimidated students, among other crimes. He was removed from all his positions within the school and taken to the public security bureau for investigation and handling.
Some other related personnel, including several from the education board, were also implicated, but the punishment was not as severe, which everyone understood.
The news was broadcast live through various new media platforms and immediately caused a wave of applause online.
People recognized the efficiency of the Binhai City Government and applauded the government’s decisiveness in cleaning up and punishing those educational cancers.
As the media conference was drawing to a close, a scion from the Li Family’s Financial Group came onto the stage, burst into anger, apologized, and even knelt down in public to ask for forgiveness, which completely blew up the internet and peaked in intensity.
A comment swept through the internet.
Binhai City Government 666
Binhai City Government 666+1
Binhai City Government 666+2
+100086
...
Finally, a beautiful and intellectual woman, whose appearance and demeanor outshone 99.99% of Asian celebrities, appeared and revealed her identity as the head of the Li Group.
Her name was Li Xuanyu, twenty-nine years old, a member of the Korean Li Family and the youngest daughter of the Li Family’s head.
With such exceptional beauty and demeanor, coupled with the identity of being the Li Family’s Financial Group’s little princess, Li Xuanyu immediately won over the netizens.
Especially her polite and humbly apologetic demeanor on behalf of the Li Group repeatedly apologizing to the netizens, melted even the heartiest of critics online.
"Finally, to express our apologies and our sincerity in cooperation with Binhai University, I, on behalf of the Li Group, announce an additional funding of two billion," she said.
The whole network was stunned.
First, Li Xiaoji ’sincerely’ apologized, then an exceptionally attractive woman who was instantly relatable came forward to apologize, and given her noble status, the apology was full of sincerity.
Now, they were even adding funding; this was sincerity backed by cold, hard cash.
Under the influence of some unseen forces, the voices online that had been defending Yang Wen died down, and public opinion returned to normal, being guided towards forgiveness.
After all, they had apologized.
And those who needed to be dealt with had been dealt with.
Although the scion from Korea was detestable, he hadn’t succeeded in his schemes and had even been publicly slapped; now, he was even apologizing with twenty billion.
The real cause for dissatisfaction online was the attitudes of school leaders like Jiang Guowei and Huang Tingquan. Now that they had been disciplined, the outrage online was assuaged.
Finally, Li Xuanyu, accompanied by Li Xiaoji, stood up and in front of the media cameras, apologized to the victim Yang Wen, and Li Xuanyu also added, "I will personally go with Li Xiaoji to apologize face to face to this aggrieved university student and hope to win her forgiveness. You all in the media can follow up on this matter; our Li Group’s sincerity is substantial. The Li Family’s family motto is also very strict; when a mistake is made, it is acknowledged, and there is absolutely no shielding or covering up. Thank you everyone!"
It was another deep bow.
With all these actions, the incident of ’slapping a foreign friend’ was completely settled.
At the Binjiang Garden Villa, Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Yang Wen were also watching this press conference live.
Yang Wen seemed very happy with the outcome.
Qin Yanyang kept sneaking glances at Yang Fei from time to time.
He noticed Yang Fei’s expression subtly change when the woman named Li Xuanyu appeared.
This made her feel a bit jealous.
She is no less than her.
But she soon realized that Yang Fei’s subtle expression change was not simply an appreciation of a beautiful woman, but it seemed like he knew her.
For Qin Yanyang, this was even more unsettling.
What exactly was the relationship between Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu?
Otherwise, why would Yang Fei show such a significant emotional reaction upon seeing her?
Although Yang Fei hid it well, Qin Yanyang’s perception was very sharp, and coupled with a woman’s innate sixth sense, she still noticed it.
