The agent across from her had an unpleasant look on his face as he spoke softly, "Miss Chen, must the matter be handled so drastically?"
Chen Ningxue replied indifferently, "Handled so drastically? Apologizing for a mistake is only right and proper! Is it really that hard to simply say 'sorry'?"
Saying sorry isn't difficult, but for the tree members to say sorry, that's tougher than reaching the heavens!
Since their debut, tree had smooth sailing and quickly became popular across Asia. Its members were arrogant and proud, apologizing to an ordinary female student? Impossible!
"Miss Chen, our South Korean SDB company and Meizi Entertainment have a good partnership! Besides, you are a senior to tree, is it necessary over a common student? Let's each step back. We can compensate that student privately, and let this matter pass. After all, today is Yan University's celebration. Wouldn't it be better not to stir up trouble on this joyful day?"
Chen Ningxue replied indifferently, "Exactly because I am their senior, I have the duty to teach them how to behave and how to be a professional artist! Regarding today, you should be aware that it is Yan University's celebration. As such, I cannot belittle the matter. Apologize, I will not stand idly by!"
"I will not apologize!" Suddenly, a harsh voice came through. Tree's leader, Park Yingjun, stared coldly at Chen Ningxue and said, "This incident was the fault of that student. She rushed in, and we thought we were being attacked, so we dodged!"
At this point, Park Yingjun said with a smirk, "I think the fan owes us an apology. This misunderstanding was caused by their fanaticism!"
Chen Ningxue's expression turned utterly somber. This South Korean bastard was actually playing the blame game, throwing the dirt onto the girl.
"I didn't barge in! I was pushed!" Unable to hold back upon hearing Park Yingjun's sophistry, the girl said, "And please, show some respect. I am not your fan! I am a member of Xue's Fan Club, here waiting for Sister Xue! Don't flatter yourself thinking we all like you!"
Anger crossed Park Yingjun's face, but he ignored the female student and coldly said, "I've said, it wasn't our fault, and we won't apologize! This isn't just about tree, it's also about the dignity of the South Korean nation!"
Chen Ningxue waved her hand, and the scene quieted down.
"A hundred years ago, Huaxia faced an unprecedented disaster, with foreign invaders and a corrupt government!" Chen Ningxue's voice was low, filled with a trace of sorrow and vicissitudes, sounding particularly profound here.
"At that time, enlightened individuals gathered and founded Yan University. Students of Yan University stepped onto the streets, fearless of power and danger. With their youth and blood, with the cries of their lives, they awakened the numbed will of the nation! Yan University thus became the banner of resistance, representing the spirit of the young Huaxia ethnic group: freedom, independence, and perseverance!"
"When powerful nations occupied our Huaxia, our forebears dared to face grim realities and the dripping blood head-on! They never submitted to power, never bowed to foreigners! Now, although Huaxia has become a world power, has the spirit of Yan University been passed down? Freedom, fairness, democracy, perseverance!"
"Today this female student was not severely injured, and my actions might seem unnecessary to many. However, here and now, they trampled on Huaxia's land, at a cultural heritage site of Huaxia, on Yan University's celebration day, offending our student! Can we really not even offer an apology? Should we really let our ancestors' spirit be shamed?"
Chen Ningxue's words left all the students present in silence.
"Apologize!" Suddenly, a furious shout came from the crowd of students, "No one at Yan University has the right to insult its students with impunity. Apologize, apologize!"
Encouraged by that voice, more and more students started chanting, "Apologize, apologize!"
Soon, the demand for an apology surged toward the tree group and their manager like a tidal wave.
"What do we do now!" The members of tree were panicked, accustomed as they were to adulation and the screams of young girls.
But now, surrounded by a tsunami of angry shouts, their faces showed signs of panic.
"Apologize! Apologize!"
"Apologize! Apologize!"
Regardless of gender, everyone was waving their fists, their eyes filled with anger, seemingly ready to tear the people from tree apart!
It was as if in that moment, a flock of sheep had turned into a pack of wolves!
The commotion had already attracted countless onlookers, and the university staff hurried over too.
A middle-aged man resembling a director scowled and shouted at the students around him, "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel against the heavens? Whoever is stirring up trouble, I'll dock your credits and put a demerit on your record!"
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, followed by an even louder roar.
"Apologize, apologize, apologize!" Not a single student cared about the director's threat!
All they knew was that if they so easily let the members of tree go on the university's anniversary, it would definitely cast a shadow over Yan University's spirit!
The students were simple and passionate! If it was someone who had struggled in society for a few years, they might think about not dragging others down with them, but students were different; they wouldn't submit for a belief, for fairness!
At this point, Chen Ningxue had stopped leading the chant; whether the members of tree apologized had become meaningless! Because fairness had already been established in the students' minds! And the injustice that the girl had suffered was also being released!
In the end, the members of tree did not apologize and followed the director like defeated dogs into the gymnasium.
Although they had fled, there were still shouts for an apology coming from outside, which infuriated the people from tree.
And the incident here quickly spread among the students of Yan University!
Although there were a few delusional fans still making excuses for the people from tree, their number was too small, and as soon as they appeared, they were immediately shut down by other students.
Delusional fans, stick fans, sissy fans, traitor fans... all sorts of labels were slapped on the fans of tree.
"Brother Mo, this news should be explosive enough, right?" Little Lin said gleefully, looking at the content on the camera.
Mo Yu smacked him on the head, "This stuff is useless; compared to those satellite channels, we have no advantage!"
"Then why did you tell me to be more careful earlier!" Little Lin was stunned.
Mo Yu chuckled, "Did you really think this was over? I doubt it! Keep these things; they will be of great use later!"
Saying so, Mo Yu whispered a few words into Little Lin's ear.
Little Lin's eyes instantly lit up, "Brother Mo, you are really despicable... oh no, you are really awesome!"
Mo Yu glanced in the direction where tree had disappeared, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Dealing with a foreign sissy group, just thinking about it gets me a little excited!"
...
Bang! In the makeup room, Park Yingjun furiously threw an ashtray onto the floor, "Chen Ningxue, I'll remember you! Damn bitch, just you wait!"
