Atlas of Heaven and Man

In the courtroom of the Tribunal, after hearing Zhan Yi's proposal to the school board, someone quickly stood up in response.

This was a school board member from the Wuyi Academy, and he said with righteous indignation, "I agree with Mr. Wei's opinion. Such a person should not exist within the Wuyi Academy."

In fact, for matters involving the entire board, he and the other board members could have slowly discussed it afterward. Even if they really decided to do so, they would need to consider it carefully, coordinate the interests of all parties, and appease the emotions of many people, rather than making a decision on a whim.

However, at this moment, he suddenly stood up actively to echo, both expressing his position to Wei Hang and the others, as well as Molan Corporation, and also forcing other board members to take a stand.

It wasn't just him alone. Following his lead, several board members stood up one after another. Among them were those pre-arranged by Wei Hang, and those who quickly made a choice after seeing the direction of the wind.

The other directors looked at each other, secretly cursing in their hearts, convinced that this was definitely a deliberate arrangement.

They originally wanted to wait and see, but now they were being forced to choose a side. If they didn't stand up at this time, they would definitely be antagonized by Molan Corporation and Wei Hang and the others.

Compared to that, it would be better to directly choose a side. No matter how you look at it, choosing Molan Corporation's side is the right move.

After some consideration, several more people stood up on the spot.

There were a total of nineteen members of the Wuyi Academy's board of directors, and fifteen were present. Among them, eleven stood up. The remaining few didn't say they disagreed, nor did they say they agreed, but that didn't matter, because even just those who agreed had already exceeded half the number, and the remaining disagreements were irrelevant.

Moreover, there were also many sponsors of the academy present, and they all expressed their agreement with the proposal.

So, the board member who stood up first looked at Chen Chuan and said sternly, "We are now formally notifying you that after discussion by the school board, your status as a student of Wuyi Academy is revoked. The notification will be issued to you later."

"This does not comply with the academy's rules!"

Bian Feng also stood up from his seat. He said in a deep voice, "The decision of the school board also needs to go through the procedure of the president's signature. This is only a unilateral decision made by the board of directors, and the school management does not recognize it."

That school board member looked at him, "If the president's signature is not approved, according to past practice, the discussion will be put on hold. During the discussion period, Chen Chuan will not be deprived of his status as a Wuyi student, but he must temporarily suspend his studies until a formal conclusion is reached."

Bian Feng's heart sank. Putting the discussion on hold did comply with the regulations, but the problem was how long would it be put on hold, a year or two? Or three or four years?

There was no specific time limit for this, so the student would be completely dragged down there. And if the student's status issue is not resolved during this period, then nothing can be done, which is equivalent to delaying him. Seeing this situation, the president might rather let the student get out of it sooner.

In the defendant's seat, Chen Chuan watched this scene in the courtroom. He remained calm about these proposals that were unfavorable to him, but at this moment, he spoke up. "Have you finished discussing? If you have finished discussing, then I want to speak now."

That board member looked at him upon hearing this. He spread his hands, "Of course, Student Chen, before the notification is issued, you are still a student of Wuyi. You can submit any correct demands you have. We will not prevent people from speaking, nor will we use crude methods to solve problems."

Since he already had victory in his grasp, he also tried his best to maintain a superficial fairness and demeanor, and such an attitude of speaking also aroused a burst of applause that was not very enthusiastic.

Chen Chuan slowly said, "I have already seen the attitude of the school board."

He looked at Zhan Yi again, "Your Excellency just said that your company will reject a student like me, and also said that you will send a letter to block me from all companies. Is Your Excellency sure?"

"Of course, Molan Corporation's words always carry weight."

Zhan Yi replied calmly. He was not afraid of what such a student could do. Even if he went to the government departments to oppose them, it would be nothing, because they had always been in confrontation. Besides, this student might not even live until that time.

"Then… …"

Chen Chuan reached into his pocket, and in the slightly nervous gaze of the crowd, he took out something and held it up in front of him, "What if I use this?"

However, Zhan Yi's expression changed at this time, his eyes fixed on the card.

After a while, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he actually left his seat and walked out in a hurry in the astonished eyes of the crowd.

Only when he was about to go out of the gate, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned his head, and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, I will be right back."

Everyone was confused, but Wei Hang, sitting there, felt a faint sense of unease. He looked at the black card, the problem must be with this thing. But what exactly was it? Was it a recommendation card? Or… was it from that Miss Meng?

That was the most likely possibility.

This was troublesome.

If it was Miss Meng's doing, things would be difficult to handle.

The council members were also somewhat at a loss. What was going on? But since Zhan Yi said he would be back soon, they could only wait.

Zhan Yi ran outside in one breath. After leaving the Tribunal, he hurried to Director Luo's car. As the car window rolled down, Director Luo, sitting inside, asked, "Why did you come out first? Is the matter inside finished?"

Zhan Yi shook his head and whispered, "Director, things have changed a bit." He immediately explained the situation inside, emphasizing the card that Chen Chuan had taken out.

Director Luo couldn't help but become serious. He looked at him and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly."

Director Luo's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension. He lowered his head and pondered, "The World Giant Enterprise, Yuanren Corporation…" How could Yuanren Corporation's recommendation card appear here? And in the hands of an ordinary student?

The holder of this card could directly join any branch of Yuanren Corporation in the world, or even related friendly enterprises. Since Yuanren Corporation funded Wuyi Academy and over 90% of the world's martial arts academies, one could also use it to enter various local martial arts academies without examination.

If a company or martial arts academy refused, the consequences would be very serious, because it would be a denial of the company's status and reputation. Yuanren Corporation would immediately take action.

Yuanren Corporation was much larger than Molan Corporation. The two could not be compared on the same level.

Seeing him thinking, Zhan Yi said, "Director, we've seen his information. He didn't use this recommendation card to enter Wuyi Academy. He got in on his own merit, so there may be other reasons behind this card, maybe…"

Director Luo waved his hand and said decisively, "No, the company is facing many enemies now. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we cannot take the risk."

Zhan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Director, in that case, we can withdraw our accusations and targeting of him, and apologize to him. I believe that should be enough face, but we can still provide security services to various families, which is still beneficial to the company."

Director Luo immediately denied, "Although doing so is beneficial to the company, once we decide to withdraw, we must withdraw completely. Because as long as we provide security to these people, even if it's just a promise without any actual action, they will try to attack that student, and then use this to drag the company into the water, forcibly binding us together, which would instead make the company bear the risk for them."

Zhan Yi was shocked and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Director is right, I didn't consider it carefully."

Director Luo said sternly, "You go in now and apologize to that student, make the attitude sincere, and withdraw all security promises to the families in Yangzhi City. The company's current situation cannot afford to create any more enemies."

Zhan Yi asked, "What if they refuse, or ask us for an explanation?"

Director Luo said indifferently, "Do they have the qualifications?"

"Understood." Zhan Yi nodded. From this moment on, those people were abandoned. Although these people might be swallowed and torn apart later, and the company might suffer some losses, it was nothing compared to adding a very important enemy.

After receiving the instructions, he quickened his pace and returned to the Tribunal. Everyone was waiting for him to return, hoping for his response. However, this time, he did not sit in his seat, but straightened his clothes, walked along the aisle, and went directly to the front of Chen Chuan's position.

At this distance, facing a fighter like Chen Chuan, if he had any hostility, no one could save him, but he didn't bring any weapons and stood here directly.

He bowed to Chen Chuan and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, I am ashamed of what I said to you before. Those were very unfair accusations. I now formally announce that I withdraw all the words I just said and offer you a sincere and heartfelt apology." As he spoke, he bowed to Chen Chuan.

Everyone in the audience was stunned, their consciousness seemed to be in a standstill.

Zhan Yi then straightened up, turned around to face everyone below, and said loudly, "Molan Corporation will not have any restrictions on Mr. Chen. On the contrary, if student Chen Chuan comes to Molan Corporation after graduation, we will open our doors to welcome him. In addition…" He looked at Wei Hang with pity, "We will no longer provide any security measures to anyone present."

The whole place was silent.

"Master, what's wrong with you, Master…" Suddenly a cry of surprise came out. Everyone turned their heads and realized that the old Mr. Wei, who had been in charge of the Wei family for decades, was clutching his chest and sliding off his seat. There was chaos all around.

Zhan Yi just glanced at it casually, then turned back and said to Chen Chuan respectfully, "Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
