I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 123 Unintentional Acts Lead to Liu Xiahui

As the group walked into the university student activity center, Wang Pan pondered something: it seemed that Shen Kang wasn't the lucky star, but rather the female minister of the student union was giving him face.

Thinking of this, he tugged at Shen Kang beside him and said in a low voice, barely audible, "Old Shen, you really have influence, bringing me directly into the student council. Thanks for today, I'll treat you to dinner later."

Shen Kang also lowered his voice: "What face do I have? I don't even know them."

Wang Pan was taken aback. "You don't know them? Then why are they giving you so much face by bringing us here to the student council for the interview?"

Shen Kang speculated, "I guess Minister Song is quite sensible and is afraid we'll make a big fuss. She knows it's not good to escalate things over such a small matter, especially since it was her student council members who started it. So she's trying to downplay the issue and avoid creating trouble where none exists."

Wang Pan thought to himself, "Go ahead and make this up. We're not blind or deaf. Minister Song asks you about every decision he makes, and you still say it has nothing to do with you?"

A month ago, Wang Pan would have been furious to see even student council members giving Shen Kang such respect. But after a month, he had gradually become numb to it, so he didn't have any particular reaction. He just felt that having Shen Kang as a roommate was actually quite nice at times.

As they spoke, they arrived outside the interview room of the External Relations Department of the Student Union. Some students were waiting in the corridor outside, chatting with each other.

Song Qingru also stopped and asked the students of E-commerce Class 2, "Besides this student, do you want to apply to join the External Relations Department, or other departments?"

The students in Class 2 of E-commerce discussed it and found that two of them wanted to join the External Relations Department, while the others wanted to join other departments. They all told Song Qingru about their wishes.

Finally, Song Qingru looked at Shen Kang: "Shen Kang, what about you? Which department do you want to join?"

Shen Kang shook his head: "I didn't intend to join the student council. I just happened to be passing by and saw them here, so I came over to take a look."

Song Qingru thought Shen Kang was also there to join the student council, and she had already planned to persuade him to join the student life department. She felt that Shen Kang was just a freshman, and the things he did on the day of registration showed that he was very capable. If he joined the student life department, it would definitely be a good thing, and he could even take over her job.

She was taken aback to find that Shen Kang was just passing by. She advised, "Shen, joining the student union will be very helpful for your university life. It can help you develop..."

Just as she was saying this, she realized that Shen Kang's abilities probably didn't need any training, so she changed her words: "Joining the student council will also be beneficial for your selection of scholarships, awards for outstanding students, and awards for excellent graduates."

Several students from E-commerce Class 2 looked at him strangely after hearing this.

They had previously thought Shen Kang was a true academic genius, but now that classes have started, they realize that the "academic genius" label is just a rumor. Who would be a top student who skips classes every day from the very first week of freshman year?

For someone like him, terms like "scholarship," "model student," and "outstanding graduate" are completely irrelevant; these things that Minister Song mentioned probably hold no appeal for him whatsoever.

As expected, Shen Kang still refused: "Forget it, I'm too busy every day, I really don't have time."

Song Qingru tried to persuade him a couple more times, but Shen Kang still refused. She had no choice but to give up for the time being. She went into the interview room of the External Relations Department, spoke to the people inside, and then came out. She then took a few other people from E-commerce Class 2 and went to the interview rooms of other departments of the Student Union.

Ji Feiyan also wanted to join the External Relations Department. She was standing with Shen Kang and Wang Pan when she saw Song Qingru leading the students from E-commerce Class 2 away. Finally, she asked, "Shen Kang, do you have connections in the student council?"

"No, I guess she's afraid things will escalate—" Shen Kang repeated his analysis with Wang Pan.

After hearing this, Ji Feiyan shared the same thought as Wang Pan, thinking that Shen Kang was indeed very calm and low-key. He insisted that there was no relationship even though they were clearly related. He was so different from other male college students of the same age. He was too mature.

She then recalled how, just now, Minister Song had acted as if a subordinate was asking a superior for instructions, while Shen Kang had handled the matter without saying a word. His aura was truly captivating, and she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

Shen Kang, wanting to see things through to the end, stayed with them for a while, planning to leave after Wang Pan and the others finished their interviews.

Wang Pan hadn't even had his interview yet when Song Qingru returned.

Seeing that Shen Kang was still there, she came over and greeted him again.

Shen Kang finally asked, "Excuse me, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Song Qingru then realized that Shen Kang no longer remembered her, and reminded him: "On the day of freshman registration, the cars of two freshmen's parents were scratched."

Shen Kang recalled, and finally remembered. The girl who was present at the time seemed to be Minister Song. "I remember now. Sorry, my memory isn't very good."

"It's nothing, but I did have a pretty good impression of you. The way you were dressed, I thought you were a teacher at some school. Let me introduce myself, my name is Song Qingru, the head of the Student Union's Life Department—"

After chatting for a few more minutes, it was finally Wang Pan's turn to go in for the interview.

Shen Kang thought that after their interviews were over, he should also leave the school and visit those teahouses. Thinking of this, he suddenly had another idea.

Since it was just casual conversation, he simply asked, "By the way, Minister Song, does our school have a tea ceremony club?"

Song Qingru thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there isn't. Why are you asking this?"

Shen Kang said, "Oh, I really like tea and would like to find some like-minded people to exchange ideas with. If there aren't any, that's fine too."

""

He was just bored and wanted to kill time, so he casually asked. Since there was nothing, he let it go.

Then Song Qingru added, "Although there's no tea ceremony club, if you want to find someone to discuss this with, I do know a classmate who's particularly knowledgeable about tea."

"Another unexpected bonus?" Shen Kang's spirits lifted, and he asked, "What's his skill level?"

"I don't know much about tea, but the tea he brews is quite delicious; I've tried it. Besides, his family owns a teahouse, and I heard it's quite successful in their area." Song Qingru shared everything she knew.

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang became even more interested and asked for the person's name and contact information.

Song Qingru took out her phone and read it out.

Shen Kang also took out his phone and saved the person's contact information into his address book.

When Song Qingru saw Shen Kang's somewhat old Nokia 3310, and then recalled the clothes that Shen Kang wore that day, which smelled strongly of his father and were highly suspected to be from his father, she had a general understanding of Shen Kang's family background. She thought to herself that maybe she could persuade this student Shen to join the student council from an economic point of view.

Of course, we still need to think carefully about how to say it specifically.

With that thought in mind, Song Qingru took the opportunity to exchange contact information with Shen Kang.

In the short time that the two of them had been together, the three students from E-commerce Class 2 had also finished their interviews. Seeing that there were no further problems, Shen Kang said goodbye and left. Wang Pan and the others, on the other hand, were still going to find Gu Mingqiang and the others.

After the students from Class 2 of E-commerce dispersed, one of the two boys following behind Song Qingru finally spoke up after holding back for a long time: "I really thought he was a teacher that day, but I didn't expect him to be a freshman! Wow, are all freshmen this fierce nowadays?"

Another boy remarked with some emotion, "I originally thought it was Mo Da, but after changing clothes, I actually look a bit like Linghu Chong."

After leaving the university student activity center, Shen Kang took out his phone, opened his contacts, and found the name Song Qingru had just given him—Ouyang Yu.

Then I called directly.

After the phone rang a few times, it was answered, and a male voice came from the other end: "Feed?" There were also some noisy voices, as if it were in a crowded place.

Shen Kang said, "Hello, Ouyang, I am—"

The other person interrupted him directly, saying, "My surname is Ou, not Ouyang."

"————" Shen Kang thought to himself, this student Ou's father is really bored out of his mind. He has the surname Ou, but he still has to give his son such a name.

However, he immediately said, "Hello, Ou, my name is Shen Kang. I was introduced by Song Qingru. I'm looking for someone who knows about tea, and she recommended you. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Are you free now? Can we meet?"

"Introduced by Song Qingru?"

Ouyang Yu paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Okay, I'm at the courier station on Xiaodong Street right now. How long will it take you to get here?"

"I'm at the university, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Kang immediately turned back and walked towards Xiaodong Street, soon arriving at the courier station on Xiaodong Street.

There were many students at the courier station. A boy was standing at the door, holding a small courier box in his hand. He had a delicate appearance and a somewhat melancholy air. He was lost in thought.

"Ouyang Yu?" Shen Kang walked up to the boy and asked.

The boy snapped out of his daze and looked at Shen Kang. "Shen Kang?"

"it's me."

Shen Kang was just about to invite Ouyang Yu to study room 302 for a cup of tea when Ouyang Yu spoke first: "This package is in a bit of a rush, I need to deliver it right away, why don't you wait here for me?"

Shen Kang smiled and said, "I'll go with you. It'll be a good opportunity to exercise."

"That's fine too."

So the two left Xiaodong Street.

On the way, Shen Kang asked a few questions, and what Ouyang Yu said matched what Song Qingru had said: his family really did own a teahouse, and the business was quite good, with a good reputation in the area. Ouyang Yu himself also knew a little about tea. Whether this information was true or not was currently unknown, but they would know after brewing a pot of tea.

The two chatted casually for a while, got to know each other, and soon arrived at their destination, Dormitory Station No. 5.

Shen Kang originally thought that Ouyang Yu was picking up a package for his girlfriend, but he didn't expect that he came to the boys' dormitory management station to pick up a package for a boy.

Then he followed Ouyang Yu into the dormitory management station, went to Building 2, went up to the 5th floor, knocked on the door of a dormitory, and a boy came out to pick up a package. He didn't seem to know Ouyang Yu very well.

After delivering the package, Shen Kang followed Ouyang Yu downstairs.

After going downstairs, he was about to ask Ouyang Yu if he was working part-time as a courier when he saw Ouyang Yu take out his phone and make a call.

Ouyang Yu's previously melancholic demeanor softened instantly: "Hey, Zhenzhen, I delivered the package to him—he picked it up himself—do you want me to bring you dinner tonight?—Okay. By the way, it's going to get colder these next few days, remember to wear warm clothes—"
