He was talking about the relationship between old and young, why was the driver talking about rich people and their girlfriends, his focus was totally different.
He sighed, he wouldn’t be able to explain it properly, or he would explain it but the other party would still think about something else, so he just kept quiet.
“I forgot to ask, where are we going?” The driver asked, he remembered that Boyce said a school, so he asked, “Is it HQ University?”
Armand pulled a face and looked at the driver, and said in a cold tone, “You are so smart.”
“No, no, the picture, the background there is HQ University right. And your friend also mentioned it just now, I guess that you wanna go there.” The driver laughed and said, he didn’t notice that Armand was upset.
The driver was very talkative, as a driver, it was boring to drive everyday, so he liked to talk to his customers, this way time passed faster.
Armand closed his eyes and pretended to be tired, that he didn’t want to talk, so the driver couldn’t disturb him anymore, he drover quietly. After they arrived, he reminded him, “We are here.” Armand opened his eyes, took out his wallet from the pocket, and took out a cash from inside, he waited till the driver gave him his change, took it and said, “It’s not easy to earn money nowadays.” What he wanted to say was that money didn’t rain from the sky.
The driver was talking about rich people just now, clearly he had a thought of hating the rich.
Boyce being the person he was, it was not good to give him the name of rich person.
It would bring him trouble.
The driver stopped smiling, as if he noticed that Armand was upset, Armand got off the car, and the taxi left right after.
Armand humphed coldly and didn’t mind him anymore. There are plenty of such people, he didn’t want to bother about them. He went into the school, and asked at the gate, “I am looking for Jasmine in first years.”
The guard looked at him and asked, “Who are you?”
“I am her family, please tell her, thank you.” Armand smiled and said.
The guard took his phone and called Jasmine’s class mentor.
After this happened, everyone in university already knew about it, Jasmine was being questioned in the mentor’s office.
This kind of story also had an effect on the school.
Everyone would question the teaching quality of the university, they would question if the students had bad character, the society would not accept them and doubt them.
Quickly the guard hung up, then he said to Armand, “You can go, it’s office building number two, third floor is the office of first year class one mentor.”
The guard opened the gate, Armand said thank you and went inside.
Today was weekend, so there weren’t a lot of students on the campus, once in a while some students would walk together, talk and laugh, as if they were discussing about something. When Armand walked closer, he heard what they were talking about, and frowned hard.
The thing that kept everyone joyful and talking now was nothing else but the story of Jasmine and Boyce that was going viral now.
Armand put one hand in his pocket and greeted some students that were coming his way, “Excuse me, can you tell me where the office of the first year class one mentor is?”
One of the nice students pointed to a office building that was not far away, “There, third floor, you can go there and check, the offices have name tags.”
“Okay, thank you.” He smiled and tried to be nice to them, “I was just hearing what you were talking about, was it about the student and the police officer?”
“Yes, yes, have you also heard about it?” One of the students was a short haired girl, she replied immediately, as soon as it was about gossip, she was all active, “Everyone in the school knows about it, it’s been having a big effect, maybe the student will even be expelled.”
“The whole university knows?” Armand laughed, “Has this been becoming your amusement now?”
Even though Armand said it implict, but the students still could read between the lines, and their smile faded away.
Armand looked up at the majestic teaching building, it had an elegant environment, it had quite the reputation, then he laughed sarcastic, “This school isn’t that good, they don’t seem to be teaching their students well, they don’t even know to protect their own students, why would anyone else try to protect them? What a joke.”
After Armand said that, he went towards the building.
The students were blushing of embarrassment, from some point of view, they were studying at this university, but they were laughing at the things happening as if they were not part of the school. The way of them watching the fun had no responsibility at all.
That short haired girl said scornfully, “Even if we want to protect the school that has taught us, there are still some shitty people here who destroy the whole pot. If you asked me, I would expel her to keep the whole place clean, nobody will dare to talk bad about our school again.”
Some thought that she was right, but some also thought that they were too one sided, it has only been a picture, maybe there was something else going on?
“Let’s go.” Some of the students were afraid it might explode, so rushed her, they went quiet and left the campus together.
In that time, Armand found class one of first year students, he went to the office of the mentor and knocked on the door when he heard someone from inside saying, “Come in.”
Armand opened the door and went inside, there were a few desks around, but only one of them was occupied, a middle aged man was sitting on the chair, he was wearing glasses, and even though he was sitting, he could see that he wasn’t tall, his face was extremely serious, Jasmine was standing next to the desk, her head lowered.
Armand came inside and the mentor looked at him, “Who are you?”
He pointed to Jasmine, “I am looking for her.”
Jasmine looked up when she heard his voice, she saw Armand and her eyes lit up. She had been scolded by the mentor for the whole morning, she wanted to contact Boyce to know how he was doing. Armand was his friend, he must know about his situation, that was why he seemed so anxious.
The mentor frowned, he looked at Jasmine with a serious face, “I thought you don’t have family here, who is he?”
“I am a distanced relative.” Armand came to Jasmine, he looked at the mentor and asked, “What is the school going to do about this?”
The mentor moved his glasses a little, “We talked about it over a meeting, I have big hopes for Jasmine, she is excellent in her grades, she also behaves well in all aspects, this story really made me very surprised and disappointed.”
Jasmine lowered her head, not because she did anything wrong, she was just feeling sorry for her teacher, he had always taken good care of her, he even helped her with her scholarship. After what happened, she might not even get her scholarship anymore.
This all seemed to be small matters, but she didn’t want to drop out of her studies, she knew that if she had no degree, it would be difficult to find a good job, if she had no good job and income, it would be difficult to stay in this city.
“Sir, please believe me, I really didn’t do any of those things out there, I was forced by students, I was impulsive, that is why I made the mistake.” Jasmine explained with her head lowered.
The teacher pulled a face, “Out of impulsion? You cannot be impulsive! You are a student in your first year, how can you just go about out there? It will have an impact on your future, don’t you know that?” Jasmine bit her lips, she knew that she couldn’t explain it well.
She said with a begging tone, “Sir, please, don’t expel me, I have done so much to be in this school, please put in a good word for me.”
“Don’t come to any conclusions now, I also need to see what my superiors say.” The teacher sighed, “I never thought this kind of thing would happen, especially to you. Many students who come from villages have done so much work to be in this university. Life outside of campus is wonderful, many students get encountered with this flourishing city and cannot stand the seduction, so they make some mistakes. I do feel sorry about that, same as for you. I will put in a good word for you to keep the effect on you at the lowest level and get this done as soon as possible.”
“What about this.” Armand said, “I hope that the school can do some investigation on this matter, I saw the picture, there were many students on it, I believe it won’t be hard to investigate, we need to know what exactly happened to solve it, what do you think?”
The teacher nodded, he thought it was a good idea, “I am so angry that I didn’t think of that, I will contact the principal now to investigate this matter.”
The longer they dragged it out, the less they knew about what might happen.
“Sir, we will try to take care of what happened out there, can I leave with her now?” Armand asked.
The teacher looked at Jasmine, then he looked at Armand.
Armand looked very serious, he gave an impression that he was a very responsible person.
“Sure, but I need to be able to contact you at any time.” If they needed them again, it would be bad not to reach them.
“Why don’t I give you my number, if you cannot reach Jasmine, you can call me.” Armand said.
