"Holy crap!" Zhang Menglong hadn't expected the Particle Collider to have such a massive appeal, with over fifty Academicians and thousands of professors—it wasn't just a force to be reckoned within the education sector but represented an unshakeable power at the national level! These Academicians are national treasures, driving the development of the entire country and even that of all humans. Their word carries a hundred times more weight than what that damn Professor He Li could influence! To put it dramatically, this is like a dimensionality reduction attack! Zhang Menglong himself hadn't anticipated that the Particle Collider he funded would propel him to the level of a hero who dedicates himself to the nation and people. He didn't intend to be so awesome! "How about it, Menglong, we're all waiting for your word!" "Hahaha, Professor Han, are you not worried that lending out this device might hinder the scientific research standards of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology from improving?" Zhang Menglong joked. "You cheeky kid, don't imagine me as so selfish and old-fashioned, okay? I'm in academia, not business. Sharing resources is beneficial for universities across the country. We can't just contend within our small circle; we have to seek ways to increase our international influence," Han Jinyu said. Even on a global scale, the number of schools with a Particle Collider could be counted on one hand, and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology was one of them—demonstrating the colossal significance for Huaxia's education and scientific research! Your journey continues with empire "But of course, they can use it after we've had our fill, and as for the fee structure, our school naturally has to have a serious discussion about it. We can't let them freeload, can we?" Zhang Menglong didn't expect Han Jinyu, such a refined man, to use words like "freeloading." Who said they were in academia and not business again? Clearly, this was about figuring out how to make money off other universities, perhaps even crossing into cutthroat profiteering. "Let's do it your way then," Zhang Menglong laughed, curious to see what sort of tricks Dai Qingying could pull off against such a powerful hand. "Hahahahaha, great, I'll go talk to them right away!" Han Jinyu said eagerly, "The money they'll pay to borrow the Particle Collider will be enough to support our research group's funding, hahaha!" You see, Zhang Menglong had initially placed the collider within Han Jinyu's research group. Of course, the school would only take a portion of the income, but the remainder would still be far more than what Han Jinyu used to desperately seek from companies. Soon, the internet saw a new influx of messages supporting Zhang Menglong. Scarily enough, the titles of these people were overwhelmingly impressive—"Yangtze River Scholar," "Hundred Talents Program," and a bunch of Academicians suddenly appeared! Some noticed that the old professors and Academicians, usually buried in their scientific research, seemed to have coordinated a synchronized move, with all of them posting on social media at the same time! Even more startling, some of these people had only registered their social media accounts that day, and their first posts were in defense of Zhang Menglong! "Come out, you brain-dead fans, why aren't you shouting anymore? Dare to bomb Boss Zhang's Weibo again? Want to engage in cyber violence, is that it? Bros, let's target that Dai Qingying's Weibo!" "Damn! Someone released a recording, it's from the 'Three-Body' crew!" "What the fuck? What did I just hear? She already took a payment of 80 million and still thinking about a raise?" "Milk bath? I'll give your mom a milk bath, you dare throw dirty water on Boss Zhang? That's just asking for death!" "Piece of trash, that explains it!" "@Huaxia Film Academy, please manage your teachers and students properly, don't come out and embarrass yourselves!" "Jiangnan University of Science and Technology: Who was @ing us just now? Please repeat, I just went to the toilet and didn't see the message!" "Hahahaha, brilliant!" Under the societal backlash, Dai Qingying's fans completely lost their voice, even Huaxia Film Academy ceased releasing statements, leaving only an announcement that they would thoroughly investigate the matter and give society an explanation. This time, Dai Qingying was utterly smeared, her years of cultivated image collapsed overnight, and given the magnitude of this scandal, she would probably never be offered any filming work again. "An explanation? What kind of explanation could there be for a student who has already graduated! Can you even expel her?" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "But you always have to pay the price for your past actions!" Zhang Menglong had also heard about Dai Qingying causing a male actor to succumb to depression, and he wasn't such a hero, nor did he have the duty to act as one. He simply felt that her downfall wasn't miserable enough! After all, if it weren't for these people's support, the matter could have been quite troublesome to handle, possibly even affecting those around him. People like Dai Qingying were best off directly ruined and discredited! "Hong Yi, do you have the phone number for the president of Yanjing Film and Television Academy?" "Yes, what do you want with their president?" "I heard that Huaxia Film Academy and Yanjing Film and Television Academy have always been in competition. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? With Huaxia's circles being so chaotic, it shows there's a problem with education. I'm considering donating a sum of money to them, to cultivate some truly outstanding actors, not just a bunch of players who only know how to cause trouble!"
