2348 Feng Yu: I’ll Go Find Him!
In the First Research Inst.i.tute.
It had not been peaceful for the past two days.
Because of a rumor from somewhere that, in order for the person he liked to become the future dean of the First Research Inst.i.tute, Feng Yu actually disregarded his dignity and leaked the questions to the other party so that they could prepare in advance to win the successor selection.
This rumor gradually spread, causing many people who did not know the truth to feel indignant.
These people did not say anything, but they were unhappy.
After all, scientific researchers were each more straightforward than the other. They would rather lose standing than do anything unethical.
Feng Yu had always been respected in the research inst.i.tute. Many people admired him and the others for joining the First Research Inst.i.tute.
Now that their faith had collapsed, their disgust was just as strong as their admiration.
Because Cao Yanhua also partic.i.p.ated in the selection this time, many people secretly approached him and hinted that he had been secretly manipulated.
Cao Yanhua already knew Qiao Nian’s talent in scientific research. Of course, he did not believe the rumors spreading outside.
He righteously spoke up for her.
However, those people immediately revealed resentful expressions. Although they let him say what he wanted, they looked at him with disdain.
They called him nothing more than Feng Yu’s lapdog.
Cao Yanhua was furious. However, these people were all talking in private. Very few people spoke openly.
Even if he wanted to explain on behalf of Qiao Nian and Feng Yu, no one gave him a chance.
Level 8 laboratory.
Xue Zhuxin was angry. “Is the gossip about the dean and Qiao Nian still circulating?”
Xu Yi calmly packed up the experimental materials and said without looking up, “The innocent will know themselves. You don’t have to care what the people outside say about what the dean and the others haven’t done.”
“It’s easy for you to say that. You don’t know how bad the rumors are…” Seeing that he was still upright and not afraid of the shadow slanting, Xue Zhu was so angry that she could not sit still.
Shen Qingfeng contacted Qiao Nian and sent her a message telling her about the rumors spreading in the research inst.i.tute over the past two days. Now, he walked over and said to the two of them, “I’ve already told Qiao Nian. Let’s see how she deals with it. We’ll do whatever she does. Anyway, we’ll help if we can. If we can’t, at least we won’t be a hindrance.”
Xue Zhu was originally furious, but she gradually calmed down after hearing this.
It wasn’t surprising.
At this time, the only thing she could do was not to exacerbate the matter.

On Feng Yu’s side.
He also heard some rumors.
He only asked the people around him to investigate. Soon, they found out that the research inst.i.tute had been discussing it in detail for the past two days.
Feng Yu originally thought that these rumors were directed at him, but he did not expect them to involve Qiao Nian. His face darkened, and he trembled with anger. “Who did it!”
The a.s.sistant only found out what the people below were discussing. He did not find out who was spreading these rumors in private. Hence, he lowered his head and stared at his toes, feeling very guilty. “Dean, I didn’t find out. I’ll immediately investigate.”
“No, thanks.”
Feng Yu caught his breath, having already guessed who had spread the rumors.
At this time, of course, the person who benefited the most was the person who spread the rumors.
Feng Yu wasn’t a useless person. He only needed to use his brain to know who benefited the most.
Feng Yu coldly said as he strode out, “I’ll go find him!”
“Dean, wait for me.”
The a.s.sistant did not stop him. Anxious, he could only quickly follow.
