After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 306: You Don’t Know Her Background?

The square-faced man in the taxi is Jiang Ting’s brother, Jiang Yusheng.

The last time Jiang Yusheng came to Jiang City, it was also for Lu Qianrou’s participation in the piano competition.

He had once put his heart and soul into securing an enrollment slot for Qianrou through a special talent scheme at Beijing University.

Upon learning that the piano competition was brought forward, he immediately called Lu Qianrou to inform her.

He even rushed over from Beijing the day before the competition just to accompany Lu Qianrou and cheer her on.

At that time, knowing that Lu Sheng had also obtained a spot in the competition, Jiang Yusheng did not take Lu Sheng seriously at all.

A wild breed from the countryside, who probably hasn’t even had a proper piano lesson, what could she have to compete with their meticulously trained Qianrou?

She must have secured the spot by selling her body and sleeping with old men, this shameless and vile person born from a mistress.

However, Jiang Yusheng hadn’t expected that on the day of the competition, his face was nearly swollen from the blow.

First, he took Lu Qianrou to greet Osborne and tried to ingratiate themselves, but Osborne did not recognize them and even directly asked who they were.

Osborne was perfunctory towards them, but turned to Lu Sheng with warmth and enthusiasm, a contrast that was utterly devastating, burning their faces with humiliation.

Then came the competition, he fulfilled Lu Qianrou’s request and scheduled her performance just before Lu Sheng’s.

Hearing Lu Qianrou perform "Dusk Descent", Jiang Yusheng was so excited that he stood up, thinking Lu Qianrou was sure to win the championship this time.

But when Lu Sheng came on stage, her off-the-charts performance of "Above the Wasteland" instantly stunned the audience, and he felt like he was struck by lightning, unable to recover.

Even though he couldn’t comprehend how a country girl like Lu Sheng could play the piano so well, the gap in their performances on the stage was undeniable, and Qianrou had no choice but to accept her defeat.

Yet the most humiliating part was that Jiang Yusheng hadn’t expected that the piece, which he thought was pretty good from Lu Qianrou, turned out to be stolen from Lu Sheng.

Jiang Yusheng, nearly fifty years old, had never been so disgraced in his life; at that moment in the venue, he couldn’t even raise his head.

As soon as the piano competition ended, he scolded Lu Qianrou severely. Later, to save face for both the Jiang and Lu families, he had to suppress the matter by speaking with the organizing committee.

But as soon as the matter was handled, he took a flight back to Beijing, utterly disappointed in his niece, Lu Qianrou.

Lu Qianrou sent many whining messages afterwards, all of which he ignored completely.

Originally, he had been boasting everywhere about how talented his niece was at the piano, certain she would shine in this competition, but now he had utterly lost face.

Back at Beijing University, his colleagues and students might very well be mocking him behind his back.

Jiang Yusheng is a leading professor in the Beijing University Biomedical Department and the vice dean of Beijing University Medical School.

Since that day, he has ceased to involve himself in anything concerning Lu Qianrou; even when he heard that Lu Qianrou was sent abroad to study, he paid no attention, focusing instead on his pursuit of becoming the Dean.

His promotion to Dean was nearly guaranteed; last month, all documents were prepared, and it was just down to the final internal voting process.

Jiang Yusheng had never expected that in such a normally unanimous public vote, Peng Hongyuan would cast a vote against him at the last minute. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The reason given was that he was overly eager for quick success and was too entangled with external interests to dedicate himself to academia.

It was also said that if he became the Dean, the students would soon be tainted with his smell of money.

What kind of damn reason is that! How is it any different from calling him a greedy money-grubber in front of everyone??

No matter what the actual facts are, Peng Hongyuan coming to Jiang City to meet a young girl, offering her a spot, giving her money, and sending gifts, and even touching her in broad daylight.

Isn’t this just like a professor using a special admission spot and money to lure an ignorant underage girl into falling?

Who wouldn’t call that sleazy!

Jiang Yusheng didn’t care what the actual relationship was between Lu Sheng and Peng Hongyuan, nor did he care if she was truly lured by the money and position offer.

After all, they had no blood relation; she was just a bastard child left by Lu Chengye.

All he wanted was to ruin Peng Hongyuan’s reputation.

Once the videos and photos are exposed, with a report filled with leading statements, public opinion would definitely make Peng Hongyuan a target of criticism.

This distinguished professor Peng Hongyuan should not expect to be undisturbed any longer.

Jiang Yusheng immediately sent a text message to arrange a meeting with Journalist Wang from Jiang City Daily, asking him to post these photos and videos on Weibo.

Just say it is based on an anonymous tip-off, write an apparently objective report but with leading comments.

If the report achieves the desired effect, he would be willing to give $100,000 as a token of appreciation.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the photos, Journalist Wang directly waved his hands and refused: "No no, Professor Jiang, I dare not publish this report."

Jiang Yusheng was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Jiang Yusheng did not expect that Journalist Wang had concerns not about Peng Hongyuan, but about the young girl whose clear profile was captured in the photo.

"I mean, Professor Jiang, you wouldn’t be unaware of this girl’s background, would you?"
