Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 599 - 598: Protecting the Calf

In universities, class advisers are often newly joined teachers, such as some senior associate professors and professors, who generally do not take on the role due to their heavy research projects.

The class advisers for Environmental Chemistry Class One and Two were no exception, both being young teachers who had started working not long after.

However, Jiangnan University is the premier higher educational institution in Jiangnan Province and is among the top key universities nationwide. Particularly in the science and engineering fields, a doctoral degree is usually required for admission.

Therefore, although the two class advisers had only been working for a couple of years and were considered young, they were actually both just over thirty years old.

Both of them were still lecturers, not having been promoted to associate professors yet, whereas Wu Yili was a national talent recruited from overseas who had taken charge of two major national natural science projects upon returning to the country. The year before last, she was selected as a leading young scholar in Jiangnan Province, and last year she even won a National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars… Presently, she was the leader in the field of Environmental Chemistry at Jiangnan University's School of Environmental and Resource Sciences.

So although all three were considered young teachers, the two class advisers were slightly reserved when sitting with Wu Yili, and their looks towards her occasionally revealed a hint of admiration.

During the meal, the two class advisers took the opportunity to frequently toast to Wu Yili.

They hoped to foster a good relationship with Wu Yili so that she could assist them in the future with their evaluations for associate professor positions, as well as with research applications and paper publications, given her status as an influential young professor in the faculty.

"Last time with the improvement of water quality and ecological restoration at Jinyang Lake, we were very honored to have Professor Wu's assistance. The water quality of our Jinyang Lake has greatly improved, and for this, I would like to express the gratitude of the people of Jinzhou City on their behalf," Sun Yuncheng raised his glass and said.

"Secretary-General Sun is too kind. I was only doing my duty," Wu Yili lightly clinked glasses with Sun Yuncheng, taking a ceremonial sip before continuing with a serious expression, "However, our work is only a temporary solution, not a cure for the root cause. It's essential to control the source, especially those chemical and paper plants along the lake. Merely halting production during the cleanup period is useless."

"Professor Wu is correct, I will make sure to convey this to the relevant officials," Sun Yuncheng nodded gravely.

Seeing that Sun Yuncheng nodded with a serious face, yet spoke official clichés that lacked substance, Wu Yili knew he wasn't truly taking it to heart; otherwise, his response wouldn't be a mere deference. She felt inwardly displeased.

As a meticulous scientist, Wu Yili preferred the German style of precision, where one's word is one's bond, over this style of paying lip service without taking any real action.

"By the way, Teacher Lin, there's a student in your Environmental Chemistry Class One named Ge Dongxu. That young man requires some serious criticism and discipline. He doesn't understand how to unite with his classmates or respect his elders," Sun Yuncheng said gravely to the class adviser of Environmental Chemistry Class One, after having exchanged some niceties with Wu Yili.

Seeing his father finally mention Ge Dongxu, Sun Wenjun couldn't help but show a look of schadenfreude.

"Ge Dongxu?" Teacher Lin was slightly taken aback before asking, "What happened? Did he confront Secretary-General Sun? I'll be sure to talk to him about it."

"It's more than confrontation, his attitude was utterly reprehensible! With a student like him, I believe a stern criticism, even a severe warning, is necessary. Otherwise, allowing him to continue this way would be irresponsible," Sun Yuncheng said earnestly.

Sun Yuncheng, after all, was the Secretary-General of the Earth Level City government, and his words carried a certain authority; Lin, the teacher, found it hard to shrug off, her expression inevitably showing difficulty.

There are many kinds of disciplinary actions for students who have transgressed, and for a freshman, a severe warning was already considered a heavy penalty.

"Secretary-General Sun, could you explain how Ge Dongxu's attitude was extremely bad? As far as I know, this student is quite outstanding—not only is he diligent in his studies, but he is also stable, kind-hearted, and unites his classmates. How did he become someone who doesn't know how to unite his classmates or respect his elders in your words, to the extent that he deserves a severe warning?" Just as Lin was feeling troubled, Wu Yili had already lost her patience, pulled a strict face, and questioned him.

If Sun Yuncheng had spoken about any other student, Wu Yili might not have had a clear idea, as she had not interacted with them thoroughly. But how could she be unclear about Ge Dongxu?

Even if Sun Yuncheng talked till the ends of the earth, she would not believe Ge Dongxu was that kind of student.

Because Sun Wenjun was a student in the Environmental Chemistry Class 2, and also the class monitor, and since his father was the Secretary-General of Jinzhou City government, the homeroom teacher of Environmental Chemistry Class 2 initially sided with Sun Yuncheng. Just as he was about to speak up, he didn't expect Professor Wu to take a stand, and from the looks of it, she clearly had a very good impression of Ge Dongxu. The homeroom teacher of Environmental Chemistry Class 2 immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

What a joke, Professor Wu was a heavyweight in the College of Environmental and Resource Sciences. If she was protecting a student, how dare a lecturer like him make careless comments!

Sun Yuncheng obviously did not expect Professor Wu's response to be so intense; his face changed colors several times, and, in the end, unable to save face, he said sternly, "Professor Wu, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that I, the respected Secretary-General of Jinzhou City government, would slander a university student?"

"I'm not saying you slandered Ge Dongxu, but Secretary-General Sun, have you really looked into Ge Dongxu? What is your basis for saying this? Is it because you've heard your son's version of the story? I know your son and Ge Dongxu seem to have some problems with each other," Wu Yili said, her gaze filled with disdain as she looked at Sun Wenjun.

Because just now, Sun Wenjun's face obviously showed a schadenfreude expression.

Sun Yuncheng did not expect Professor Wu to be so protective of Ge Dongxu, and clearly, as a result, she developed a negative opinion of his own son. He couldn't help but feel both annoyed and regretful; had he known that Professor Wu had such a good relationship with Ge Dongxu, he would definitely not have brought up the matter.

However, having mounted the tiger, Sun Yuncheng naturally could not simply give up now, otherwise, it indeed would seem like he was targeting Ge Dongxu due to his son's influence.

"Of course not, it was just now in the dormitory building when I encountered Ge Dongxu, and he had a very bad attitude towards me, face to face. Could there be any falsehood in that?" Sun Yuncheng said, his face looking ugly.

Seeing Sun Yuncheng say this, the homeroom teacher of Environmental Chemistry Class 1 became a bit restless.

After all, Sun Yuncheng was the respected Secretary-General of Jinzhou City government, and since he said so, Lin, the teacher, still believed that there could be no falsehood in it.

"This Ge Dongxu, how could he act like this?" Lin couldn't help but complain.
