I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

The barista that Guo Pinyan had borrowed was standing next to Shen Kang.

This was a man in his early twenties, with a rather artistic air. He also put down his cup of tea. "It's a bit bitter."

Yang Yunhan also took a moment to sample the tea. Now, standing outside the counter in the coffee corner, she put down her tea. "It is indeed a bit astringent."

"It can't be astringent."

Shen Kang said something casually, then lowered his head to think, and finally raised his head.

"It's almost 12 o'clock, let's eat first."

After lunch, Shen Kang continued to study how to brew tea. After trying for another two hours, he still couldn't get a tea soup that satisfied him, so he had to give up for the time being. He felt that he still needed to find someone who knew tea to make a good tea soup first.

As for where to look, he had a preliminary idea—he could try looking in teahouses.

After all that fuss, it was already 3 p.m.

After checking out the laundry room next door, Shen Kang left Xiaodong Street and headed towards the A9 teaching building, preparing to drive out of the school.

When I passed by the university student activity center, I saw that there was an event nearby, with many tables set up at the entrance and around it, and many students around.

Then I noticed a banner hanging next to it; it turned out to be the student council recruiting new members.

Shen Kang had no interest in the student council and glanced at it from afar, intending to leave. However, as he looked closer, he saw a group of people making a ruckus near a stall. Wang Pan and several students from E-commerce Class 2 were among them, seemingly positioned in the center.

In the morning, Shen Kang would slip away as soon as get out of class ended.

Wang Pan had originally planned to slip away, waiting for Yang Yunhan to call him and tell him that the gathering was arranged so he could go to study room 302 and study hard one last time.

As he was leaving, two classmates came over and asked him if he, as the class monitor, would attend the student council interview that afternoon.

Wang Pan then remembered the student council matter.

Even before enrolling in school, he had already decided to join the student council, specifically the external relations department, to negotiate business with external merchants—that was in line with his image as a mature person. Naturally, he then climbed the ranks step by step, eventually becoming the student council president.

That's why on his first day reporting for duty, he bragged to Shen Kang that "I guess I'll only be able to mess around in the student council and become the president."

-

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Kang came up with this weird thing called Room 302, which made him so happy that he almost forgot about joining the student council!

If these two classmates hadn't come over and asked him to come along, Wang Pan probably would have really missed it.

Old Shen has really done a lot of harm.

With that in mind, Wang Pan naturally made an appointment with them to go to the student union for an interview together that afternoon.

As soon as the afternoon arrived, Wang Pan prepared to go for the interview.

He originally wanted to bring Feng Moquan and Jin Chao along, but one of them was working for Shen Kang and had to help him monitor the computer to collect coupons, and the other was working for himself and also had to collect coupons, so he couldn't bring them along and could only come with a few other classmates from E-commerce Class 2.

Due to limited space, the student union recruitment at Yang-Tsing University of Science and Technology was divided into two parts this year:

The university-level student union, as well as some departmental student unions, conducted interviews inside the University Student Activity Center; other departmental student unions conducted interviews by setting up booths at or near the entrance of the University Student Activity Center.

The student union of the School of Economics and Management conducts outdoor interviews in the area to the left of the entrance to the University Student Activity Center.

The students in E-commerce Class 2, including Wang Pan, all participated in the interviews for the student union of the School of Economics and Management, so they were interviewed here.

But to Wang Pan's surprise, one of the three interviewers from the External Relations Department of the School of Economics and Management Student Union was someone he knew—Liu Jun.

That night in study room 302, before Shen Kang arrived, Wang Pan was already speechless about this guy, feeling that he was even more annoying than Lao Shen.

Later, Lao Shen arrived in his BMW and gave Liu Jun a good slap, silencing Liu Jun until he barely made a sound. Wang Pan then became the star of the table and was overjoyed.

Wang Pan and Liu Jun only interacted once that night, and he never saw Liu Jun in study room 302 again after that. He didn't expect to run into him here again.

"Senior Brother Liu, we meet again."

When Wang Pan went for the interview, he greeted Liu Jun, thinking that since they had been classmates and played together, they had some connection, which should give him an advantage.

Unexpectedly, during the interview, Wang Pan had just mentioned that he was the class monitor of E-commerce Class 2, and before he could even finish his self-introduction, Liu Jun interrupted him, saying, "You don't meet our recruitment criteria, you can leave now."

Wang Pan was stunned. "Wait, I haven't even finished my self-introduction, how come I don't meet the requirements?"

Liu Jun was getting impatient. "I told you you don't meet the requirements, and you don't meet the requirements."

Wang Pan blurted out instinctively, "Are you retaliating against me? It was Old Shen who assaulted you that night, not me!"

Liu Jun's face immediately turned ugly, thinking to himself, "What do you know?"

He was indeed deliberately targeting Wang Pan, but not only because of what happened that night, but also because after that night, Yang Yunhan never spent money to invite him to the 302 study room again.

Liu Jun also asked two other people he knew in study room 302 who had also been paid to go out, but they were still paid to go out as usual, while Liu Jun seemed to be the only one excluded. This made Liu Jun very unhappy, feeling that Shen Kang was targeting him.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, he was just a vice minister of the External Relations Department of the School of Economics and Management Student Union. What could he do to Shen Kang? Not to mention that Shen Kang's family seemed to be quite wealthy. Liu Jun had no ideas at all and could only curse Shen Kang and Wang Pan behind their backs.

Liu Jun thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, Wang Pan came to apply to join the student council, which made him overjoyed. Naturally, he let his power be used a little too arbitrarily.

Unexpectedly, Wang Pan directly accused him of targeting him.

Just as Liu Jun was thinking about what reason he should give, Li Tong, the department head sitting next to him, spoke up: "Young man, we have clear reasons for refusing you. As the class monitor, you have to manage class affairs, so you can't focus your energy on student council matters. We had some freshman class monitors in our student council before, and they all left in their sophomores because they couldn't manage both. We're worried about that. So you should leave and focus your attention on your class's affairs."

Liu Jun glanced at Li Tong gratefully.

Li Tong didn't look at him.

Li Tong wasn't stupid, and he could see that Liu Jun was deliberately targeting Wang Pan, but Li Tong didn't think much of it.

However, this freshman didn't leave and kept talking, which made Li Tong a little unhappy. He thought to himself, "You're just a freshman, do you think you can defy the heavens?" That's why he spoke up for Liu Jun.

Wang Pan realized this was just an excuse, but he really had no other choice. He could only sigh inwardly, accept his bad luck, and decide to leave.

Gu Mingqiang, standing nearby, suddenly got angry. "That sounds nice, but whether it's retaliation or not, you know the truth in your hearts!"

Hearing Wang Pan's shout and seeing Liu Jun's obvious targeting, how could the classmates not see that this was retaliation? No matter how nicely Minister Li Tong put it, it was still retaliation!

Ji Feiyan was also nearby. She thought that Wang Pan was Shen Kang's roommate and seemed to have a good relationship with Shen Kang, so she also chimed in, "The reason is quite high-sounding, but everyone can see what really happened."

Wang Pan generously treated the boys to a barbecue, and later organized a social event for all the girls in the class. Everyone had a good impression of him. As the class monitor, he was part of the collective. When they saw the class monitor being targeted, someone took the lead in speaking out, and several other classmates also chimed in, saying that the student council was unfair and was settling personal scores.

Li Tong stood up, his face stern, and said loudly, "I said I refused for legitimate reasons. What retaliation is this?"

"fart!"----

Several students from Class 2 of E-commerce stood up against the student council.

Wang Pan was a little at a loss. He wanted to say, "Forget it, everyone has their own difficulties, there's no need to argue." But as the class monitor, he felt he should stand with his classmates. But if things really escalated, wouldn't he, as the class monitor, be held responsible? ————

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students, who soon gathered around to watch the excitement and inquire about the situation.

Soon after, student union leaders arrived and squeezed in.

She was a pretty girl, and she was with two boys.

"Why are you making such a mess of recruitment?!"

The girl spoke loudly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased. She then looked at Li Tong, who was present, and asked, "Minister Li, what happened?"

Li Tong quickly said, "Minister Song, it's like this, a freshman came for an interview, but he didn't meet the requirements, so we rejected him according to procedure. But he insisted on slandering us for targeting him—"

"You're talking nonsense! It's clearly your retaliation and settling personal scores!" Gu Mingqiang retorted directly.

Everyone could see that this girl was also a student council member, and her status seemed to be higher than Li Tong's. Gu Mingqiang naturally couldn't let Li Tong give his side of the story.

Just then, Shen Kang squeezed in and stood with the students from E-commerce Class 2, asking, "What happened?"

When Ji Feiyan saw Shen Kang arrive, she quickly said, "Shen Kang, you've come at the perfect time—"

She was about to tell Shen Kang what had happened here, but she was interrupted as soon as she started to speak.

"Mega?!"

It was the female leader who had just arrived in the student council and two other boys who spoke up, all three of them in unison.

Moreover, all three of them stared at Shen Kang in disbelief, looking quite surprised.

Shen Kang glanced at the three men, but he didn't recognize them and had no idea why they called him Mo Da. What did he, a mere monk, have to do with Mo Da?

Shen Kang didn't have much of an impression of these three people, but they had a deep impression of him: on the day of freshman registration, when the three of them were at a loss when dealing with the car accident of two freshmen's parents, it was this boy who stepped in and solved it.

At the time, because of the boy's older-looking clothes and demeanor, they thought he was a teacher and even gave him the nickname "Mo Da" (meaning "Great Mo"). Unexpectedly, the boy has changed his appearance and looks more than ten years younger; he actually looks like a student! And judging from the way the freshman girl addressed him, this "Mo Da" seems to be their classmate, a freshman!

"Minister Song, what's so great about it?" Li Tong was a little confused.

Song Qingru and the other two boys exchanged glances, then said, "It's nothing." Afterwards, she looked towards the "Mo Da" sign.

Ji Feiyan was telling Shen Kang what had happened here, and she finished quickly.

Shen Kang nodded, understanding the situation. Just as he was about to say something, Song Qingru spoke first.

"Shen Kang, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Minister Li's statement that your classmate, as class monitor, can't handle both roles is reasonable, but that's their External Relations Department's perspective. From the Organization Department's point of view, your class monitor status is actually a plus. How about I take him to the Organization Department for the interview?"

When Ji Feiyan was talking, Song Qingru also heard it and roughly guessed what was going on. She cursed Li Tong and Liu Jun in her heart.

However, Song Qingru still couldn't let Shen Kang escalate the situation. Having witnessed Shen Kang's methods and been deeply impressed, she knew he had such abilities, so she wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

Shen Kang glanced at Song Qingru again, then asked Wang Pan, "Brother Pan, what do you think?"

Wang Pan shook his head: "I want to join the External Relations Department, I won't go to any other department."

Shen Kang nodded, opened his mouth as if to speak, but was interrupted by Song Qingru again, "The External Relations Department is also an option. The School of Economics and Management's student union might have some practical difficulties, so how about you apply for an interview at our school's External Relations Department? I'll take you there."

Shen Kang was a little annoyed, thinking to himself, "Are you deliberately trying to keep me from speaking?"

Wang Pan, however, perked up. "Good!"

He figured the university student union was definitely bigger than the college student union. He'd previously thought it might be difficult to join the university student union in his freshman year, which was why he'd come to the college student union. He never expected to run into this kind of bad luck. Even more unexpectedly, with Lao Shen's arrival, things immediately took a turn for the better, skipping the college level and jumping straight to the university level! Lao Shen is a lucky charm!

Song Qingru didn't immediately tell him to leave. Instead, she looked at Shen Kang and asked, "Shen Kang, do you think this is acceptable?"

Shen Kang remained calm and said, "He said it's okay, so of course it's okay."

It wasn't hard to tell that Minister Song was somewhat wary of him, but he didn't seem to have ever met this girl before.

Hearing Shen Kang nod, Song Qingru then said to Wang Pan, "Then I'll take you inside."

Shen Kang then asked, "Minister Song, if it's not too much trouble, could you also arrange interviews for my classmates with the student council?"

Song Qingru was taken aback, but immediately understood. "Then let's go together."

Although only Wang Pan was targeted, the other students from Class 2 of E-commerce who applied had all clashed with Li Tong and Liu Jun, so continuing to interview here would only make things worse for them.

So Song Qingru and the two boys led the way, and the group entered the university activity center.

The students from Class 2 of E-commerce walked behind, exchanged glances, and were all secretly amazed. They thought to themselves, "Shen Kang has such a big face. He agrees to whatever Minister Song says. Is he a user of the Face Fruit?"
