Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1070. Not Interested

Dong Qiangqiang briefly described the preparatory group's situation and concluded: "Please ask a lawyer for me. If we are reported, in what cases will we need to go through legal procedures and in what cases will we not file a case."

"I'm asking now, wait for my call." Without waiting for Dong Qiangqiang to say anything else, Duanmu hung up the phone in a hurry.

They talk about things when there is something to say and don't chat when there is nothing to say. Dong Qiangqiang appreciates Duanmu's style of doing things more and more.

The lawyer's opinion reached Dong Qiangqiang's ears in less than ten minutes: If the facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is conclusive, legal procedures are a foregone conclusion. However, if the facts are legal and the evidence is vague or there is no evidence, and there are only accusations or reports, the police generally will not file a case unless the case is extremely special.

Dong Qiangqiang once again felt the benefits of having a lawyer, and couldn't help but sigh at Duanmu's foresight, as it turned out, it was worth the money.

After everyone had their interviews, Dong Qiangqiang discovered that he had been questioned the longest and Sun Tao had questioned him more thoroughly than anyone else.

By the time everyone had finished talking and submitted all the information, the library was closing time and Dong Qiangqiang could no longer go in to read.

Sun Tao's colleague left first with a thick information package. Sun Tao looked at the tired people in front of him with warm eyes, and said earnestly: "Thank you all for your cooperation tonight. We will investigate it as soon as possible. If it is a false accusation, we will clear your name and ensure that your reputation is not violated. But if one of you has made a mistake, we hope that he/she can contact us before we contact him/her, and have the courage to admit and correct his/her mistakes. It is not terrible to make mistakes, but to persist in making mistakes. Each of you now has my and my colleague's mobile phone number, and I am waiting for your call. In addition, China Weekly's account is temporarily frozen and will be returned to you after the truth is revealed. That's it for today. Everyone go back and rest early. If there is any more talk later, I will contact you directly. Everyone, please pay attention to your mobile phone in the near future. Good night, everyone."

Sun Tao quickly disappeared into the night. The street lights, which had been dim all night, seemed to have received an order and suddenly went dark. Although everyone was very close, they could not see the expressions on other people's faces.

Zheng Chunhua once again proposed to treat everyone to a barbecue as agreed before the meeting, but at this time everyone (especially the boys) thought of the fact that they had worked hard for a month and did not get any rewards or remuneration, but were reported by villains. The flames in their hearts that could not be suppressed were burned into smoke, and they scattered without waiting for Zheng Chunhua to persuade them again.

Dong Qiangqiang's car and Zheng Chunhua's motorcycle were both in the parking lot, and the two walked towards the parking lot one after the other.

The night is getting darker.

The vast night sky was shrouded in mystery, full and empty at the same time. Although the Milky Way could not be seen overhead, nature still put on a spectacular starlight show for everyone for free. Stars were shining in turn, nighthawks were circling and howling in the sky, dogs were barking in the distance, crickets were singing loudly and passionately in the swaying grass, and the evening breeze brought the whispers of plants on the hillside farther away, and the night began to show its unique sweetness.

It was pitch black all around. The lights in the teaching building and the street lights were all off, and the silent buildings looked gloomy.

Zheng Chunhua walked silently. She might be tired or she couldn't see the road clearly. She walked very slowly. It took her ten minutes to walk less than 200 meters. Dong Qiangqiang was in front of her, helping her check if there were any stones or potholes on the road, and he would stop from time to time to wait for her.

"Are you okay?" Dong Qiangqiang, who felt something was wrong, looked at the black shadow standing behind him and asked with concern.

"It looks like... I sprained my ankle." The black shadow revealed two rows of white teeth. Looking at it in the dark night, it was creepy but also carried a kind of inexplicable sense of humor.

"Which one?" Dong Qiangqiang walked back to the other person and asked softly, "When did you sprain it?"

"It seems that I got hurt when I was going down the last step. I just touched it and it's not swollen, but I just can't walk fast." "Then can you still ride a motorcycle?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"Let me drive you home, and you can ride the motorcycle back tomorrow."

"That's fine. It's just hard work for you." Zheng Chunhua listened to the advice.

Dong Qiangqiang held Zheng Chunhua's arm and helped her move forward slowly. The evening breeze playfully blew her hair onto his face. A fresh fragrance naturally rushed into his nostrils. He was startled and quickly turned his gaze around, trying to find a long branch for Zheng Chunhua to use as a crutch, but it was dark all around and the road was clean except for fallen leaves. He had to move to the outside to keep a certain distance between himself and Zheng Chunhua.

Zheng Chunhua didn't seem to notice this. As they were walking, she suddenly said, "Hey, there's something I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I forgot about it because I was busy. Fortunately, I just remembered it."

Dong Qiangqiang listened quietly.

"Do you remember the rumor in the forum before? It said that I organized China Week to make personal capital and to get re-elected as the president of the Student Union."

Dong Qiangqiang certainly remembered. He had just mentioned this to Sun Tao an hour ago: "Didn't you refute the rumor right away? You said you had been the president of the student union twice and would no longer be the president after your term expired at the end of September. Why did you suddenly think of saying this?"

“I want to further my studies and try to get a doctorate, so I might change schools.”

"Then congratulations, have you found a university?"

"I'm still looking, it won't be too fast. There aren't as many positions for PhDs in the humanities as there are in the sciences." Zheng Chunhua paused, then changed the subject, "Dong Qiangqiang, I hope you'll be the next president of the Student Union."

"Me? Not interested." Dong Qiangqiang slowly shook his head and refused without hesitation. He continued walking forward. He saw his pickup truck parked quietly not far away, like a beast lurking in the dark night.

"Why are you not interested?" Zheng Chunhua didn't seem surprised by Dong Qiangqiang's rejection.

"Why not?" Dong Qiangqiang was amused by this question. "I don't have time, and this job is not interesting. The most important thing is that I don't make money. Not making money is fine, but doing good things and still being smeared is simply disgusting. It's disgusting, so you should find someone else as soon as possible."

Zheng Chunhua moved slowly without saying anything in reply. She seemed to be thinking about Dong Qiangqiang's words, or coming up with new words.

Seeing Zheng Chunhua remained silent, Dong Qiangqiang advised: "If you want to find a successor, why don't you ask Fang Shuang? She is now the vice president of the Student Union. Everyone is convinced from vice president to president. She has experience and enthusiasm. Most importantly, she is capable. Didn't you praise her last night? Fang Shuang is reliable, steady, and down-to-earth. She has never made a mistake with money..."

"I asked her, but she refused." Zheng Chunhua's eyes were surprisingly bright in the night. "She has been taking major exams these past two years. It's okay for her to be busy with China Week, but she doesn't have the energy to be busy with the Student Union, which is mostly about miscellaneous matters."
