But she never expected Shen Hong to publicly question her in such a large group chat.
She looked at her roommates speaking up for her, at Peng Chengshuai and Kong Le defending her, and her eyes grew hot.
But she couldn't help but wonder, 'Is there some truth to what Shen Hong said?'
'It's true I'm a freshman. I don't have any experience, and I was recommended by Elder Meng…'
'Am I really not good enough?'
Just then, her phone buzzed again.
It was a message from Teacher Chen in the group chat: "Please refrain from baseless speculation. The university's recommendation process is fair and impartial."
Immediately after, the department head also sent a message: "We will investigate this thoroughly. Please remain calm. Shen Hong, if you have any objections to this outcome, you may come to my office. We will be sure to resolve this matter."
The group chat exploded again.
