The man smiled and introduced himself: "I am Professor Dong's teaching assistant and the temporary person in charge of this project."

Jiang Nansun was startled: "Isn't Wang Yongzheng the person in charge?"

"Oh, you mean Teacher Wang? He got into some trouble, and I'm in charge right now."

Jiang Nansun was even more surprised.

"Wang Yongzheng is in trouble. He was fine just two days ago. What happened to him?!"

The man gave Jiang Nansun a half-smile: "Jiang, you don't know?"

Jiang Nansun shook his head in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

The man glanced at her again, shook his head, and started walking back.

Jiang Nansun was full of questions, but followed them inside. It was good that Wang Yongzheng was gone, so he wouldn't be bothered here every day.

The man turned and glanced at her: "Why don't you go back?"

Jiang Nansun pointed to the construction site: "I'm doing my internship here."

The man said, "Didn't you receive Professor Dong's email? You don't need to do your internship here starting today."

"Ah!" Jiang Nansun exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"

The man continued walking, his voice drifting from afar: "Don't you and your boyfriend know the reason?"

Jiang Nansun was completely stunned. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and quickly opened her email. There was an email from Professor Dong from the previous night, informing her that her internship at the Songjiang Boutique Hotel had been revoked.

This made Jiang Nancun's heart sink, her mind filled with doubts. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and left the construction site. Not caring about saving money, she took a taxi directly back to the school. She wanted to ask Professor Dong in person to find out the truth.

Jiang Nansun knocked on the door and went into Professor Dong's office.

Before he could even speak, Professor Dong's face darkened, and he said in a heavy tone, "Nan Sun, you're being foolish. I had high hopes for you. Why couldn't you report things to me? You've disappointed me greatly."

"Even if it's for your boyfriend's sake, have you considered whether this method is honorable? And whether it will affect you?"

Jiang Nansun was completely bewildered.

"Professor Dong, what exactly happened? I just went to the Songjiang Boutique Hotel, and the person in charge there has changed. It's no longer Wang Yongzheng; it's another one of your teaching assistants."

"He told me that my internship qualification had also been revoked and asked me to check my email. After reading the email, I was still completely confused, so I came to you to ask for clarification."

"Professor Dong, what exactly happened?"

Professor Dong scrutinized Nan Sun carefully. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he asked doubtfully, "You really don't know?"

Jiang Nansun shook his head: "Professor Dong, what exactly happened?"

Professor Dong didn't answer, but instead handed over a stack of freshly printed documents: "Does this look familiar?"

Jiang Nansun took it with a puzzled look, his eyes widening instantly. It was a report accusing Wang Yongzheng of privately changing the paint on the school and hotel's procurement list, replacing it with an unfamiliar brand.

Below, there was a lot of evidence that Jiang Nansun was very familiar with. Her work notebook, the various procurement data recorded in it, and the procurement slips that had passed through her hands were all photographed and printed out as evidence.

Jiang Nansun was stunned. A vague guess formed in his mind, but he simply couldn't accept it.

"Professor Dong, these materials..."

Professor Dong said, "Didn't Zhang Anren obtain it through you?"

Jiang Nansun was speechless, unable to defend himself.

"Professor Dong, I really didn't know Zhang Anren would do this. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have stopped him."

Professor Dong said, "So Zhang Anren did indeed get these things from you."

Jiang Nansun said with a wry smile, "The day Wang Yongzheng changed the paint in private, I even advised him to discuss it with you, but he didn't pay attention at the time and just told me to write down the purchase data."

“It just so happened that Zhang Anren came to see me that day and told me about this. I didn’t know when he took the photos. I never expected him to do this.”

Professor Dong sighed: "I believe you were unaware of this matter. Doing this will not do you any good. You should leave now."

After saying this, Jiang Nansun waved his hand, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately did not utter a word. He sighed softly, turned around, and left the office.

She was going to find Zhang Anren and get to the bottom of things.

……

On the other side, Wang Yongzheng, with a gloomy expression, found Zhang Anren in the office, grabbed him from behind and threw him to the ground. Just as he was about to kick him a couple of times, his colleagues pulled him back.

Wang Yongzheng's face was full of anger: "Zhang Anren, is this all you're capable of? You're willing to resort to such underhanded tactics for a spot on the faculty's payroll. You can't compete fairly."

His colleagues around him exchanged glances, but still pulled Wang Yongzheng away and advised, "Professor Wang, calm down. We're all colleagues. Let's discuss and resolve things together, or report it to the department. We can't let it escalate to physical conflict; it'll have a bad impact!"

Wang Yongzheng glared at Zhang Anren: "I want to resolve this openly and honestly. Do those scheming bastards dare to do that?"

Because his relationship with Jiang Nansun had cooled, Zhang Anren was also seething with anger.

Huo De stood up and stared at Wang Yongzheng: "Everything I did was aboveboard and in accordance with the department's rules. We know who is really breaking the rules."

Wang Yongzheng angrily said, "Why don't you dare to compete with me fairly? Why do you resort to such underhanded tactics? What good will it do to stay at the school if you do this?"

Zhang Anren took a deep breath and looked calmly at Wang Yongzheng: "Teacher Wang, are you really competing with me fairly?"

Wang Yongzheng also lost his temper: "How is it unfair? Fine, tell me what's unfair about it?"

Zhang Anren stared at him and said, "Teacher Wang, ask everyone here, who among you didn't spend more than ten years studying hard, passing through layers of exams and selections, and gradually becoming a teaching assistant and staying on to teach at the school?"

"Some people, who don't do well in their studies in China, go abroad to get a degree and gain extra points for their foreign citizenship, becoming highly sought after. They think they are doing it all on their own merits, but in reality, they are doing it all on preferential policies."

Seeing that Wang Yongzheng's expression was not good, Zhang Anren continued, "It's not that there aren't top students in China who go abroad to study after the college entrance examination, but they all go to world-renowned universities like Harvard, Cambridge, and Princeton."

"The other recent graduates, if they had done a little better on the exams, could have gotten into a good university in China. Who would go abroad to study? If they were to go, they would just finish their undergraduate degree."

"Professor Wang, I wonder which world-renowned university you attended!"

Wang Yongzheng's face looked a little ugly, but Zhang Anren seemed not to notice. He continued, "I studied for my bachelor's and doctoral degrees, worked as a teaching assistant, and worked diligently at the university for many years. Everyone has seen how I performed. The department only has one spot for staying on as a faculty member every two years, and it will be mine without any surprises."

"At this time, a parachuted-in person appeared out of nowhere. His academic background was unremarkable, and his abilities were unknown. As soon as he arrived, he gained strong support from some people and wanted to compete with me for a spot at the university. He also spread rumors about me everywhere, openly and secretly slandering me. Who is this person? Isn't such behavior despicable?"

"Teacher Wang, do you think this is fair to me?"

"I have worked diligently for so many years, taking every job in the college seriously and without making a single mistake. The biggest project I am in charge of now is preparing for the college's anniversary exhibition. I have put all my energy into it, not daring to make the slightest mistake, lest I be criticized or disliked. Everything I have is the result of my own hard work, without any shortcuts, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"And some people, without any effort, without striving, without performing, are immediately given a large hotel project to practice on. Regardless of how well they do, in terms of value and influence, it's incomparable to the college's anniversary exhibition. They can win the competition with just a little achievement. Do you think that's fair?"

"But this guy doesn't cherish opportunities at all. He's irresponsible and arrogant. He goes to bars, chases girls, flies around to date people, and is often late for school and gets warned. He doesn't act like a teacher at all. He puts on airs at the construction site, not only clashing with the workers, but also ignores the purchasing lists set by the school and hotels, and buys unfamiliar brands on his own to make himself seem cool and unique."

"If you don't want to follow the school rules and don't want to be constrained, then why did you come here to be a teacher? Are you trying to mislead students?"

"Teacher Wang, do you think someone like that, with that attitude, deserves to compete? Is it fair to compete with someone like that?"

"Someone goes around saying that I'm hypocritical, love to cultivate relationships, and flatter leaders to appear superior. But he himself is so close to the professor that they're practically inseparable, and he's even got the professor's daughter completely infatuated with him, with her throwing herself at him. He's already introduced himself to many leaders. That's the real expert; my skills are nothing compared to that."

"Don't you think so, Teacher Wang?"

He said with some agitation, "Some people keep talking about fairness, but it has never been fair from the beginning. It's just what they think is fair, a fair facade."

“I never felt that I did anything wrong. Everything I did complied with the department’s regulations. Some people made mistakes in private, but then they openly accused others of exposing their mistakes.”

"Teacher Wang, did I really do something wrong?"

Wang Yongzheng kept his eyes narrowed, his face gloomy, and he didn't say a word. He understood that much of what Zhang Anren had said earlier was true.

It's just that people don't want to admit it, or they don't realize it, that some people's starting line is higher than your finish line.

After a long silence, Wang Yongzheng finally spoke: "So, Teacher Wang, don't you think it's too despicable of you to use this method to uphold your fairness and retaliate against me?"

Zhang Anren smiled and whispered in Wang Yongzheng's ear, "Teacher Wang, some people slander others openly and secretly, and even make a move on other people's girlfriends. Aren't these people even more despicable?"

Wang Yongzheng stiffened, his face turned grim, he glanced around, opened his mouth as if to offer some explanation, but ultimately said nothing, turned and left with a dark expression.

Her colleagues were stunned for a long time before rushing over to ask with concern, "Are you alright, Teacher Zhang?"

"Teacher Zhang, how is it?"

"Teacher Zhang, don't be angry, don't take it to heart!"

Zhang Anren brushed the dust off his clothes and forced a smile: "I'm fine, thank you everyone, thank you, you can go about your business!"

His face showed both bitterness and relief. In any case, he had won this competition, even though he had paid a heavy price and risked breaking up with Nan Sun.

His biggest goal and wish right now is to have no competitors and be able to stay on as a teacher at the university.

When faced with this goal, nothing else matters.

Chapter 204 Separation

When Jiang Nansun found Zhang Anren, he was being blocked by an angry Lillian.

"Zhang Anren, is staying at the university all you care about? Would you do anything to stay at the university?"

Zhang Anren said calmly, "I have already made things very clear with Wang Yongzheng about this matter. You can ask him for details."

“I don’t think I did anything wrong, and I don’t need to explain myself to you. After all, you are high and mighty, you can’t understand me, and you never will.”

Lillian retorted angrily, "Zhang Anren, when have I ever been condescending? Haven't I been nice enough to you normally? Wang Yongzheng made a mistake at work, couldn't you have just reminded him? Instead, you reported him to the school."

"I see you've gone to any lengths to stay at the university, even targeting your rival Wang Yongzheng. Now you've finally succeeded. Wang Yongzheng has been removed from his position as head of the department, and the college is reportedly going to hold him accountable. Your chances of staying at the university are completely ruined. Aren't you happy?"

As he spoke, Lillian's eyes reddened. He liked Wang Yongzheng and had even fantasized about a sweet and romantic relationship between them after Wang Yongzheng stayed at the school! But this Zhang Anren in front of him completely ruined it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.

Looking at the heartbroken Lillian, Zhang Anren said calmly, "I know you like Wang Yongzheng, and I'm sorry that he can't stay at the school. But everything I did was in accordance with the department's regulations. I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't admit to doing anything wrong."
