After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Preparing for a Rainy Day

Lu Sheng made the phone call, only to get a prompt saying "The number you dialed is currently in use".

It seems that Peng Hongyuan was on another call.

So, Lu Sheng hung up the phone.

However, it wasn’t long before Professor Peng returned the call.

"...Hello? Is that Shengsheng?"

Upon hearing his voice, which sounded a bit tired, Lu Sheng quickly responded, "It’s me, Uncle Peng, I’m calling because..."

"Shengsheng, you’ve seen that report on Weibo, right?" Peng Hongyuan sounded like he had checked Weibo too. Before Lu Sheng could finish, he interrupted.

Lu Sheng paused and then spoke very seriously, "Yes, Uncle Peng."

"That report accusing you of using special admission slots to trick me is complete nonsense."

"Those photos are nothing abnormal, it’s just because of the angle that makes us appear very close, and netizens are over-interpreting it."

"I’m not sure about the other so-called evidence listed in those accusations, but I trust in your character, Uncle Peng, you would never do such things as excluding colleagues and verbally attacking students."

"So, I called to ask what you are planning to do now. If I need to explain anything online, just let me know."

Once Peng Hongyuan heard Lu Sheng’s explanation, he said, "Shengsheng, you’re such a good kid, rushing to clear things up for me after seeing the report."

Then he sighed, "This whole affair, it seems like someone intentionally wants to frame me."

"Someone wants to frame you?" Lu Sheng paused on the phone.

"Yes," Peng Hongyuan continued, "let’s not even mention that we aren’t celebrities or internet stars, why would anyone take sneaky photos of us outside a restaurant?"

"As for the other pieces of evidence shown beneath that Weibo post, they’re all fake too."

"Those forum screenshots, where someone using the identity of my student anonymously posted complaints against me—it’s all completely fabricated."

"And those chat logs claiming I insult students in private? Those are entirely made up too."

"The only true part is the matter about me suppressing a fellow professor. Because I really did veto a professor’s promotion to the dean of Beijing University Medical School."

"But absolutely not for the reasons stated in the article, claiming I was worried he’d overshadow my position and vetoed him out of jealousy."

"My opposition to his appointment as dean was strictly because his character does not qualify. I was worried he’d lead the students astray and corrupt the Medical School."

Actually, when Lu Sheng read the report, he suspected that it might be a deliberate frame-up.

It wasn’t just that someone had taken photos of them secretly, in the comments there seemed to be many commentators like a paid internet army deliberately setting the narrative.
