Chapter 78 Arrogance
Yan Shijian's sudden appearance, his willingness to bare his fangs in public, revealed his true, despicable nature.
But ironically, this person's actions caused Director Qin, who was already seething with anger, to immediately suppress his displeasure.
To put it bluntly, Director Qin just quietly set a question to test Yu Zhen's poetry writing ability.
The original intention was to think about how to resolve the conflict between the two sides, and to subtly and quietly defuse this storm.
But in reality...
Their very presence at the scene sent a certain signal to the outside world.
That is, they tended to believe the explanations given by Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Some people also believe that Yu Zhen was deliberately trying to avoid the math quiz.
Of course, all of this is based on preconceived notions.
To put it bluntly, he was a bit biased, since the person who accused Yu Zhen of treason was a vice dean of the computer science department at Tsinghua or Peking University.
In addition to the bombshell rumors that have been circulating,
In addition, the act of Vice Minister Zhang of Shanghai personally leading a team to Beijing to appeal to the emperor...
All of these things mean that Yu Zhen has accumulated far too many "miraculous" achievements.
So much so that people who don't truly know the truth will instinctively assume, upon first hearing it, that Shanghai is simply creating a myth.
In the present day, various child prodigies, gifted youth programs, and even folk tales of special abilities, qigong craze, and supernatural powers are quietly gaining momentum.
Domestically, influenced by some so-called supernatural and special research institutions in the West after World War II, the 749 Bureau was established.
For a time, the assertion that the end of science was theology was quite appealing, and there were seemingly unfalsifiable reports that many legendary Western scientists turned to theology in their later years...
It has such a distinctive background that bears the imprint of its era.
Many people firmly believe the rumors that a celebrity is being created in Shanghai.
Yu Zhen observed carefully and understood the changes in Director Qin's subtle expressions. He immediately added insult to injury, saying:
"Vice Dean Yan, it seems that Wei Yuan's decision to give me an impromptu test was not, as he claimed, a decision made on his own initiative."
However, I really don't understand why the higher-ups would specifically use JJ-6 fighter jets to fly me directly to Beijing and send me to Tsinghua and Peking University campuses. How much manpower, material resources, and financial resources must have been wasted in the process!
If you don't recognize me as the top science student in the national college entrance examination, why not just not give me this opportunity that requires so much effort?
All for dealing with this trivial matter of my personal honor.
Now, it has even alarmed Director Qin of Zhongnantang and his entourage, who have come in person.
Why is it that now, out of the blue, I feel like I've been meticulously plotted against and schemed against by you?
Vice Dean Yan, you're amazing! You've managed to manipulate the higher-ups, Peking University and Tsinghua University, Shanghai, and of course, even me, this 'unidentified' little Kalami, all under your thumb...
Director Qin was taken aback. Good lad, he's definitely not a weakling who's willing to suffer losses. What a clever trick of using someone else's name to intimidate others.
Zhang Fushi and the others were also impressed by Yu Zhen's courage. They thought to themselves, "Only a great writer like you, Yu, could pull off such a feat. If it were an ordinary young man, he wouldn't even have the mind to turn the tables on the spot."
Among the group of people from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, everyone's expressions became unnatural.
Yan Shijian reacted most violently, shouting and jumping up, completely disregarding his image, "Student Yu, stop rambling. I have no grudges against you in the past or present. Why would I bother to scheme against you?"
As he spoke, he forcefully shook the test paper in his hand.
"Whether you take this math test or not is a simple matter of a single sentence."
Don't worry, no one expects you to actually get a perfect score. As long as you can complete about 70-80% of the questions, all the rumors about you will naturally disappear.
But if you refuse to take the test paper, hehe…”
"Vice President Yan, do you know how ridiculous you are?"
"Whether it's laughable or not, I don't care at all. As long as you, Yu, are willing to take this test, so what if I become a laughing stock in the eyes of the whole world?!"
The two started arguing fiercely from a distance.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Yu Zhen began to unleash his ultimate move, like a venomous snake striking its tongue.
He said:
"Why should I let you manipulate things that aren't of equal value?"
Unaware of the trap, Yan Shijian immediately pressed him for answers, asking, "Equivalent matters? What do you mean?"
Yu Zhen chuckled sarcastically, "If any Tom, Dick, or Harry comes along and questions whether I cheated on the national exam, and asks me to take a test paper, am I supposed to accept it all?!"
Yan Shijian was furious. "Are you saying I'm not qualified? I'm the vice dean of the Computer Science Department at Tsinghua and Peking Universities! Are you questioning me, some nobody? Not qualified to take your exam? Arrogant, Yu, you're too arrogant!"
Yu Zhen was disdainful and continued to pressure them.
"Ha, who do you think you are, Vice Dean Yan?! Let me give you a piece of advice: don't overestimate yourself!!"
To put it bluntly, so what if you've done your test today?
What qualifications and confidence do you have to guarantee that, as long as I pass your test today, no one in the entire country will dare to question the authenticity of my national exam results?!
Can you, Vice President Yan, provide this guarantee?
You, Vice Dean Yan, cannot!
Don't deny it, and don't try to justify it. You don't have that kind of influence at all!
As the saying goes, "If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext." Whether my exam results were fair or not has already been strictly reviewed by the relevant departments of the Shanghai Education Bureau. If I were to take your exam paper now, wouldn't that be tantamount to putting the Shanghai Education Bureau in an inhuman position?
You, Vice Dean Yan, are just an ordinary teacher at Tsinghua or Peking University. What qualifications do you have to be above the Shanghai Education Bureau?
Besides, even if test papers were to be used to test me, it should be the Education Commission that would issue the order.
Instead of you, Vice Dean Yan,
It's even less likely that you, Vice President Yan, would casually assign a relative, such as your own cousin.
Especially when I had just arrived at Tsinghua and Peking University campuses after a long flight in a fighter jet, they inexplicably presented me with a test paper the moment we met!
Trying to intimidate me?! Trying to wield a stern weapon against me?!
Are you trying to steal the limelight by stepping on me, a cultural celebrity?!
Ha ha ha ha……
For prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University to have such a strong academic atmosphere truly reflects the prevailing spirit of freedom!
Oh, by the way, I heard from your cousin, Wei Yuan, that he's already a student at Tsinghua or Peking University, haha, and is on the list of candidates to stay on as a faculty member or a prospective faculty member!
I have to give a huge shout-out to Tsinghua and Peking University for their extraordinary school spirit!
clap clap clap...
As Yu Zhen spoke, he actually started clapping in front of everyone.
After clapping for a while, everyone, including Director Qin, looked like they were about to pass out from constipation.
Yan Shijian, in particular, had a face that seemed to have been dyed, changing in unpredictable ways.
Yu Zhen, however, did not stop while he was ahead.
We should press on with our remaining strength to eliminate the enemy, rather than seeking fame like Xiang Yu.
Hey you, surnamed Yan, I'm going to kill you today!
"Vice President Yan, to put it bluntly, the behavior of you and your nephew has insulted not only me, Yu Zhen, but also the Education Commission. You are deliberately disrupting the authority and seriousness of the national examination!"
In your eyes, neither the urgent summons from superiors nor the seriousness of the General Education Commission's major examination system can compare to your selfish desire to get things done no matter who you want to question!
As you said, Vice President Yan, we have no grudges against each other in the past or present.
But I really don't understand. With Director Qin and the others already on-site to oversee the work, why were you so impatient, insisting on making your will supersede everyone else present?
What exactly are you insisting on?!
Besides, you can question my mathematics as you please today, but what about another day?!
Another day, if you all suddenly start questioning my physics, chemistry, history, politics, and Chinese again...
Oh, it seems that no one has the confidence to question the Chinese language.
"Hehe, after all, not everyone can publish a novel overseas, and it's expected to earn the country $150 million in foreign exchange over the next five years..."
