Other students, as if by prior agreement, pointed to the guy who had just reported him.
The middle-aged man then turned his head to look at that guy, his eyes full of anger, falling on his shoulders, exerting immense pressure on him.
The guy was so scared his legs trembled, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. To save face in front of his classmates, he braced himself and questioned the middle-aged man, "You! Who are you? What right do you have to expel someone?"
"I am the principal of Dongyang City University of Science and Technology, Feng Weiguo! Student, please state your name and class, I need to contact your counselor. Our university never expels students without cause, but we will not go easy on students who commit serious offenses."
The authority of a university counselor is far less than that of a high school homeroom teacher, but these freshmen did not know this. Hearing that the principal wanted to contact their counselor, the guy's legs instantly went soft. He collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Principal, I was just talking nonsense. I couldn't stand him showing off, so I made it up. No one is going to expel him..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Weiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just received instructions from his superiors, learned a small part of the truth, and was preparing to take good care of Jing Mingqiu. If his subordinate wanted to expel him at this moment, it would be troublesome.
"You all gathered here from all corners of the country to become classmates, this is a kind of fate. How could you falsely accuse a classmate out of momentary jealousy..."
After Feng Weiguo’s stern reprimand, his gaze shifted back to Jing Mingqiu. "Student Jing Mingqiu, you did a fantastic job. What we need most right now is creative thinking."
"You don't need to continue participating in military training. Who is your counselor? I plan to have him lead a team and assign you a small experimental workshop to continue your research."
"This," Jing Mingqiu scratched his head, "my counselor is Liao Qu, but I don't think he can lead a research team."
Feng Weiguo said with a serious expression, "Anyone who can be a counselor has at least a master's degree. Can he not guide an undergraduate student in scientific research? Student Jing Mingqiu, I know you are very talented, but don't underestimate others."
"But," Jing Mingqiu said with a helpless look, "Teacher Liao Qu teaches us to dance. He really doesn't know how to research machinery!"
Feng Weiguo was stunned at first, then shouted angrily, "Teach you to dance? Since when did the Department of Mechanical Engineering allow a dance major teacher to be a counselor? Isn't this a mess!"
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the crowd, "Principal, we are from the dance department, not the mechanical engineering department."
"You're from the dance department!"
Now it was Feng Weiguo's turn to be confused. He never expected that Jing Mingqiu, who could handcraft an auxiliary mecha at the beginning of the semester, was not from the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
"Student Jing Mingqiu, did you make a mistake? I can arrange a transfer for you now."
Jing Mingqiu repeatedly waved his hands, "No, no, I specifically chose the dance department. Principal, I don't want to go to the laboratory right now. If there's nothing else, I'll continue with military training."
Although Jing Mingqiu was slacking off with the auxiliary mecha, he actually quite enjoyed military training, especially the atmosphere that was completely different from his usual life and studies.
After being rejected by Jing Mingqiu, Feng Weiguo was once again bewildered. Fortunately, he knew some of the inside story and quickly reacted. Considering Jing Mingqiu's personality, he came up with a perfect solution.
"Student Jing, military training does not prohibit you from using the auxiliary mecha. However, wearing it, you cannot achieve the intended training objectives with the original training intensity. We can only add extra training for you."
"You will train alone, with others watching. This would be too unfair to you. How about this: I will provide you with sufficient raw materials, and you will make one for every student in the dance department. This way, you can all train together."
"You don't need to worry about the workload. I will have students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering come to help you. You just need to direct them."
Feng Weiguo's offer was very generous. Jing Mingqiu looked up and saw the dense screen filled with various modification plans, and his heart was a little tempted. He also wanted to see what kind of products would result from these different modifications.
So, after some bargaining, Jing Mingqiu half-heartedly agreed.
Because the auxiliary mechas needed to be custom-made, the dance department's afternoon military training was temporarily canceled. All students lined up at the gymnasium to have their detailed physical data tested.
Except for a handful of male students, the dance department was mostly composed of female students, and most of them were beautiful. Jing Mingqiu, sitting at the side and directing, had a feast for his eyes.
During the testing, Jing Mingqiu couldn't help but sigh. Some girls were really hard on themselves, stuffing things inside their clothes for their figures even on such hot days.
Half an hour later, the physical data of more than a hundred students from the dance department was collected, including but not limited to height, weight, bust-waist-hip measurements, leg length...
Jing Mingqiu, holding the collected data, went to the processing workshop where various parts were already prepared.
Teaching and building simultaneously, a brand new simple auxiliary mecha was successfully completed in a short time.
The other students from the dance department had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the mecha completed, they immediately surrounded it, with the gentle murmurs of many beautiful girls.
The students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering who were assisting looked at Jing Mingqiu, surrounded by beautiful girls, with envious eyes.
"Don't push, don't push. This mecha is for Mo Ruiyun. Others, please step aside. I'll take her to try it on. Yours will be done soon, don't worry."
With Jing Mingqiu's assurance, the others reluctantly left, leaving behind a tall girl.
The two went to the changing room, which was a converted tool room. As Jing Mingqiu prepared to teach Mo Ruiyun how to wear the mecha, he realized she was the one who had stopped him to ask questions that morning. Since they were somewhat familiar, he was stunned.
Girls who study dance are generally more outgoing. Seeing Jing Mingqiu's reaction, Mo Ruiyun smiled charmingly.
"Jing Mingqiu, you're making mine first. Do you have feelings for me?"
Being teased by a girl for the first time made Jing Mingqiu a little flustered. To cover up his emotions, he deliberately put on a stern face, "I don't have that idea for now. It's mainly because your legs are quite long, and I was worried that the pressure on the mechanical lever would be too high and cause deformation..."
Despite her outgoing personality, Mo Ruiyun's family was strict. She was also a virgin who had never been in a relationship and only knew theory. She did not notice Jing Mingqiu's flustered state and was deceived by him.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I was overthinking. Jing Mingqiu, how do you wear this mecha?"
"First, take off your jacket. This needs to be installed close to your body. First, fasten this buckle around your waist..."
Jing Mingqiu initially tried to remotely instruct Mo Ruiyun, but her operational skills were limited, as it was her first time assembling a high-precision technological product like a mecha. Jing Mingqiu had to do it himself.
As their physical contact increased, a blush appeared on Mo Ruiyun's fair skin, and the atmosphere took on a different hue...
