492: Chapter 492 Jiangnan University is serious this time.

"Holy crap, no way! Is Jiangnan University really serious this time?"

"Professor Liu Dongfu is a well-known expert. It's impossible! Jiangnan University is actually upholding justice for PhD Student Zhou Yafang!"

"I'll bet a hundred bucks that Jiangnan University won't actually follow through. I've already thought of the investigation results for them; the final conclusion will be that PhD Student Zhou Yafang framed him."

"I don't think so. I feel like Jiangnan University might actually be serious this time. Professor Liu Dongfu might be in trouble."

"..."

Professor Liu Dongfu naturally noticed this announcement immediately. He read it twice from beginning to end, and then his entire face turned dark.

In addition to his anger, he comforted himself inwardly, 'Qin, even if you find that PhD Student Zhou Yafang's report is true, so what? At most, you'll fire me.'

'As a dignified economics expert and doctoral supervisor, once I leave Jiangnan University, many domestic universities will be scrambling to hire me.'

With this thought, Professor Liu Dongfu gained a bit of confidence, even thinking about how he would deal with PhD Student Zhou Yafang after this matter passed.

'Dammit, she's also my student, but PhD Student Liu Wei is very obedient. With just a hint from me, she knows exactly what pose to strike.'

PhD Student Liu Wei was also a doctoral student he supervised. Professor Liu Dongfu had long since gotten her into bed. He usually took good care of her, even buying her many luxury clothes, designer bags, and the like.

Thinking of PhD Student Liu Wei, a surge of wicked fire rose in Professor Liu Dongfu's heart, making him want to have his way with her. Thus, he made a phone call.

"Xiao Liu, come to my office for a moment."

PhD Student Liu Wei arrived quickly. After understanding Professor Liu Dongfu's intentions, a hint of disdain and resistance flickered in her heart. For once, Professor Liu Dongfu did not get his way.

Watching PhD Student Liu Wei sway her hips as she left his office, Professor Liu Dongfu felt like smashing his cup. 'Dammit, this PhD Student Liu Wei must see that I'm about to get into trouble and now wants to draw a clear line between us.'

Professor Liu Dongfu didn't know that in PhD Student Liu Wei's eyes, he was nothing more than an ATM.

She played the field quite a bit; her main goal with Professor Liu Dongfu was to get money. Secretly, she had a boyfriend who was a physically strong black international student.

At Jiangnan University, the treatment of international students was very good. Not only did they live in high-end apartments with air conditioning and TVs, but they also had single rooms—small private suites for each person—which were much better than the accommodations for ordinary students.

Not only was their tuition completely waived, but they also received a subsidy of two to three hundred thousand yuan every year. With so much money that they couldn't possibly spend it all, some international students changed girlfriends as often as they changed clothes.

PhD Student Liu Wei was not only materialistic but also a "little fairy." Seeing that Professor Liu Dongfu was about to get into trouble, she naturally wouldn't let him touch her anymore; he was dreaming.

Jiangnan University's investigation was very fast.

It was faster than anyone expected. Just two days later, another announcement was released, which was quite shocking. At first, many people thought it was a prank.

Professor Liu Dongfu himself never imagined that he wouldn't just be dismissed, but would be criminally detained. He likely wouldn't be getting out for the rest of his life.

The content of the announcement was simple, but the impact it brought was enormous.

The general gist was that after investigation, the contents of PhD Student Zhou Yafang's report were all true. Professor Liu Dongfu had not only engaged in the "unspoken rules" with female doctoral students but had also used coercion, threats, and other means to have relations with over a dozen students. Furthermore, he committed academic fraud, as many of his papers were plagiarized.

Additionally, and most fatally...

He had misappropriated and embezzled a large amount of research project funds, involving a huge sum, and had accepted bribes. He had been formally detained, and related issues were still under further investigation.

"Holy crap, Jiangnan University is serious this time!"

"Yeah, I never expected that a big expert like Professor Liu Dongfu would be arrested just like that."

"What 'big expert'? He's more like a fraud. Even his papers were plagiarized, and many of his titles were bought with money!"

"This time, we must give Jiangnan University a thumbs up!"

"..."

There was a lot of heated discussion online, and this matter completely topped the trending searches. However, this time it was positive, and Jiangnan University's actions received widespread praise.

Inside the Secretary's office.

The two sisters, PhD Student Zhou Yafang and Zhou Yali, had faces full of gratitude.

They wouldn't have even dared to think of such a result in the past.

"Secretary Qin, thank you!"

Qin Chuan said, "No need for thanks, this is what I should do. Study hard in the future. Especially you, PhD Student Zhou Yafang, I have already spoken with Professor Li; you will go under his tutelage to pursue your doctoral degree."

Professor Li was a true expert in the field of economics, with strength and standards that Professor Liu Dongfu couldn't compare to.

It was just that Professor Li was already in his sixties or seventies, and the number of doctoral students he took on in recent years was relatively small. It couldn't be better for PhD Student Zhou Yafang to be transferred to his tutelage.

PhD Student Zhou Yafang felt another wave of gratitude.

After offering a few words of encouragement to the two sisters and watching them leave, Qin Chuan thought to himself that this matter was finally coming to an end.

Sure enough, following Jiangnan University's announcement of the investigation results and the criminal detention of Professor Liu Dongfu, the matter quickly subsided.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm.

Today was another weekend with good weather—clear and crisp autumn air. Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi were walking together on campus, soaking in the thick academic atmosphere.

"Husband, there are so many international students in the school."

As the two walked along the tree-lined avenue, they kept seeing international students, both black and white.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. "As a top-tier 985 university, the school has quite a few international students, already exceeding a thousand."

"That many? Then the expenses must be quite high."

Qin Chuan shook his head bitterly. The expenses were indeed high, but this was a historical issue that had always existed. Recently, Qin Chuan had also been thinking about whether more money could be spent on domestic students instead of these international students.

Walking along the way just now, the international students they saw, whether white or black, basically all had girlfriends.

He even saw a black international student followed by three girls. Although it was impossible to determine if they were all his girlfriends, this level of popularity was simply too much.

The reason was simple: these international students had money. With a subsidy of two to three hundred thousand yuan a year, many people working 996 and struggling desperately couldn't even earn that much in a year.

Monday.

The first thing Qin Chuan did upon starting work was call Director Xiao Xueli over.

"Secretary, you were looking for me."

Qin Chuan nodded. "Bring me the relevant information on the school's international students, especially their annual expenditure and costs. I want to take a look."

A short while later, a thick stack of materials was placed on Qin Chuan's large desk. Sitting in his office chair, Qin Chuan began to flip through them seriously.

After browsing for a while, his expression gradually changed.

So much money was spent every year, yet some international students had very poor grades; failing classes and repeating years were common occurrences.

They weren't here to study at all, but to enjoy a comfortable life or just play around. After playing for a few years and getting a graduation certificate, they could then find a high-paying job within China.

This was simply too unfair.

As he was flipping through the materials and thinking, a knock sounded at the door. The one who pushed the door open and entered was the Dean of Academic Affairs, Director Han Jinhua.
