Chapter 301: From A To Z, The Face-Slapping Beginning
The Physics Association was holding an emergency meeting.

The human resources department commented, "It's very obvious that the real goal of whoever is the mastermind behind this conspiracy is to disparage Fu Zhi. The netizens are a bunch of people who will jump on a bandwagon as they see fit, and since most of them are supporting Gu Yan, no one would buy it if we were to increase Fu Zhi's popularity now."

Ever since this incident had broken out, the exam markers in the Physics Association had been working tirelessly overnight to mark the question papers. The public relations department had issued a legal letter and published Fu Zhi's result as soon as possible in an attempt to clear Fu Zhi's name of those fraudulent claims.

However, the effect was unsatisfactory, as most of the netizens found that it lacked sense. In their opinion, Gu Yan was the most suitable candidate to lead the team based on her popularity as well as her ability. Right now, the team members had barely had the chance to familiarize themselves with Gu Yan, and the association had decided to replace her out of the blue? What if this had a negative impact on the mentality of the other participants and resulted in their inability to perform in top condition at the competition? What if they lost? Who was going to be held responsible for their defeat?

The human resources department then chimed in, "Many people on the internet are against our decision to allow Fu Zhi to take part in the competition right now. She is, after all, a girl. We could not confiscate her cell phone in time, and she would be devastated if she saw those nasty comments. Therefore, rather than letting her participate in the event in her current state, why don't we just replace her? Besides, this incident will affect your reputation as well..."

Even some A-list celebrities would get depressed due to cyber violence, let alone Fu Zhi.

Sheng Hua took a deep breath. He had not imagined that things would develop this way, and he was more frustrated than anybody else. "Don't worry about me. I will be fine."

Fu Zhi was obviously much better than Gu Yan in terms of everything, so he could not fathom why those people just could not see it. They had just jumped on the bandwagon and begun throwing shade at Fu Zhi baselessly.

Right now, not only did the association have to present every proof they had in order to clear Fu Zhi's name, but they also had to work relentlessly to remove those hot topics from Weibo, which made the whole shebang even more suspicious.

After all, an innocent person would always be innocent. If Fu Zhi was really not guilty, they did not have to react so violently.

Sheng Hua wiped the tears off his face in frustration and then video-called Fu Zhi. When the call was connected, he only saw darkness on the other side. Just as his heart leaped into his throat, a low, slightly raspy voice rang out. "Why are your eyes swollen?"

'She's worried about me even though she's going through hell right now!'

The thought brought more tears to Sheng Hua's eyes. He wiped the tears off his eyes again and replied, "I've been crying for 30 minutes because my heart aches. Anyway, I'm fine now."

"Take medicine if your heart aches," Fu Zhi replied. It was brighter on her side now, and it was only then that Sheng Hua realized she had just come out of a haunted house. There was a lollipop dangling from the corner of her lips as she said, "You're an adult, so how could you still cry for so long? Besides, how do you know how long you've been crying? Do you time yourself when you cry?"

Sheng Hua, who felt that Fu Zhi was calling him a pretentious prick, fell silent.

Suddenly, he realized something was not right and said, "Forget about that. Shouldn't you be at school now?"
