What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Wang Qi readily agreed.

When he came down, he received a death order.

Despite his busy schedule, Commander Yang took the time to give me these instructions.

We need to ensure that Qin Ze is happy at the university and that his studies go smoothly.

Any difficulties that the school can resolve will be addressed by putting pressure on the school.

If the school can't resolve it, report it directly to the military region.

Therefore, Wang Qi took visiting Qin Ze seriously from the very beginning.

After entering the dormitory area, he began to pay attention to his surroundings.

Qin Ze's dormitory is located in the faculty and staff dormitory complex, at the very back of the campus, and is a three-story building.

Wang Qi stood in front of the building, subconsciously looking around at the highest points, his face slightly gloomy.

The surrounding area is full of tall buildings.

Qin Ze's residence is the lowest in terms of security, which is a fatal flaw.

But even then, Ning Shuguo kept recommending it.

"This building is a dormitory for doctoral students."

"Our school has always attached great importance to the cultivation of high-level talents."

"This building was newly built the year before last, and its infrastructure and interior decoration are the best in the school."

Wang Qi remained silent, only continuing to walk into the building.

The building has a connecting corridor structure and seven rooms on the first floor.

Each room has a two-meter-wide passageway in front of it.

Pushing open the door, Qin Ze's residence was a room of about forty square meters.

Upon entering, there's an open-plan bar area where you can prepare light meals.

Next is a partitioned bathroom, fully equipped with washing facilities.

Further back is a double bed, and directly opposite the bed are a small sofa and a wall-mounted TV.

At the far end of the house is a balcony the same width as the rooms.

Ning Shuguo proudly introduced, "Originally, doctoral students at our school had two-person rooms, 20 square meters."

"I specially arranged for two rooms to be combined for Qin Ze."

"And look, there's a hidden door here that connects to the next room."

"Captain Sun and his men live next door."

"Convenient and quick."

Wang Qi didn't speak, but went into the room and observed carefully.

The room was clean and tidy, and the blankets were folded neatly.

Although they can't keep up with the army, they are much better than the recruits in the basic training camp.

Open the wardrobe; there's only one set of clothes inside, the rest are almost empty.

There were no other items on the bedside table, only a lamp.

Aside from books and draft paper, there were almost no other items on the writing desk, not even a computer.

Wang Qi picked up the remote control and found that the air conditioner was still an old-fashioned wall-mounted air conditioner, and it didn't have a fresh air system.

Then he suddenly looked up and asked, "Principal Ning, do you know what the treatment is like for a major in the military?"

"Um?"

Ning Shuguo was suddenly stunned.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"I...I don't know."

"Majors in the theater command, especially key research personnel, are usually allocated an 80-square-meter apartment."

Wang Qi explained expressionlessly.

"If it is a self-owned property, an apartment of the same size will also be allocated to it, with the price discounted by 50% to 80%."

Ning Shuguo didn't realize the seriousness of the situation: "The military's benefits are quite good..."

"Comrade Qin Ze is currently a major in my war zone."

Wang Qi's tone suddenly became more forceful.

"Commander Yang prepared a house for him in the war zone, with two bedrooms and a living room, covering 89 square meters."

"It is fully equipped with central air conditioning and a fresh air system."

"Furthermore, two high-performance computers were also configured for unforeseen circumstances."

"Comrade Qin Ze could have enjoyed the above benefits in my war zone, but he still gave them up and came to your school to study."

"Isn't it a bit stingy of your school to arrange such accommodation?"

Ning Shuguo's heart skipped a beat.

So they're not satisfied?

but!

The doctoral student dormitory was the best arrangement Ning Shuguo could think of.

Before he could refute it.

Wang Qi walked out of the room and pointed to the tall building in front of him.

"The building is blocked by taller buildings in front and behind it."

"I won't even mention things like lighting."

"Most importantly, Qin Ze's residence is located in a low-lying area, posing a safety hazard."

Ning Shuguo was speechless.

He was a school principal, not a military commander.

I hadn't even considered this aspect of the problem.

"Principal Ning, what is the purpose of that tall building up ahead?"

Ning Shuguo said truthfully, "That's a faculty dormitory, where young, unmarried lecturers live."

Wang Qi: "How large is the area?"

Ning Shuguo: "90 square meters..."

"Principal Ning, could you please arrange for Qin Ze to move to that accommodation?"

Wang Qi said it was troublesome, but his expression showed no politeness whatsoever; it was as if he were giving an order.

"Moreover, it must be the top floor. Apart from Qin Ze's security guards, no one else is allowed to stay on the same floor."

"If any extra rental fees are incurred, the war zone will settle them for him."

"May I!?"

A gaze as sharp as a knife swept over them.

How could Ning Shuguo dare to say "no"?

It's not that Ning Shuguo didn't care.

He felt that keeping Qin Ze in the doctoral student dormitory was already a good enough treatment.

To my surprise, the military had even higher requirements.

"Okay! I'll have someone take care of it right away. You don't need to mention any fees; there won't be any."

"Yes, that's good."

Wang Qi nodded with a forced smile, then raised his hand to check his watch.

"It should be break time now, where's Qin Ze?"

Ning Shuguo looked up and thought for a moment: "This kid is quite hardworking, he should be in the library, right?"

Wang Qi ignored Ning Shuguo.

Take a few steps forward and you'll arrive at the room next to Qin Ze's.

A gentle knock came at the door, and a disheveled, bespectacled student opened it: "Who are you looking for? Oh! The principal—?"

Wang Qi asked directly, "How long have you been staying here?"

The bespectacled man: "Half a semester has passed."

"Are you close with the classmate next door?"

The bespectacled man answered honestly, "We're not very familiar with each other. We've met a few times and exchanged greetings."

"What is his usual daily routine like?"

The bespectacled man sensed something was off, but answered truthfully, "His sleep schedule is rather irregular; he usually comes home very late and doesn't go to bed until almost 1 a.m."

"Oh?"

Wang Qi felt she had asked the right person.

Asking the principal won't help if you want to know how Qin Ze is doing.

Only what you hear with your own ears and see with your own eyes is the truth.

Didn't that get us the truth?

Qin Ze's neighbor, who lives just across a wall, is probably the person who knows Qin Ze's living conditions best.

Therefore, Wang Qi asked specifically, "What does he usually do that keeps him up so late?"

"It's not that he's making a fuss, it's just that he's been working really hard."

The bespectacled man gradually opened up and started talking.

"He works the night shift, and by the time he gets off work it's past 11 p.m. After washing up, getting ready, eating, and so on, he goes to bed late..."

"Wait a minute!"

Wang Qi was startled.

"Part-time job? And night shifts?"

The man with glasses: "Yeah, he works at Snow King, on both afternoon and night shifts."

"Principal Ning!?"

Wang Qi turned his head, his face turning from white to black.

The surrounding air pressure immediately became stifling.

"What's going on?"

What is a part-time job?

"My precious daughter from the war zone, how come she's already working after arriving at your school?"

Is Northwestern Polytechnical University really that petty?
