Just as the atmosphere in the conference room turned delicate, with everyone pondering how to further their relationship with Gu Yuexi,
BANG!
The door to the conference room was suddenly thrown open.
A school staff member scrambled inside, his face a mask of panic and anxiety.
"Prin... Principal! This is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
Chen Xiaozhang's brow furrowed. He had just resolved a massive crisis and was in a good mood. 'How could something else go wrong already?'
Everyone else looked over in confusion.
The staff member gasped for breath as he shouted, "Qin... Qin Zheng! That Qin Zheng from the Hidden Dragon Class! He's leading a huge group of students in a protest outside!"
"They're demanding an explanation from the school!"
"They're demanding that... that transfer student, Gu Yuexi, must participate in the joint exam!"
"They said they're boycotting anyone who gets in through connections! They just want fairness!"
"A protest??"
