After leaving the office, Lin Zhou gently closed the door and then took out his phone to send a message to Chen Yu.

[Lin Zhou: Has he left? Chairman Chen Yu?]

[Chen Yu: Downstairs.]

[Lin Zhou: Come back for a moment.]

Chen Yu: Oh?

[Lin Zhou: Chairman Gu has given important instructions.]

Two minutes later, Chen Yu came back up the stairs.

He glanced at Lin Zhou, who was standing in the corridor holding documents, and then looked through the glass in the door into the office. He could see Gu Yuning huddled on the sofa, holding a men's jacket that clearly didn't belong to her.

"The president is asleep?" Chen Yu seemed a little surprised. He pushed up his glasses and then looked at Lin Zhou.

How did Lin Zhou manage to lull someone to sleep?

"What did you do?"

"I hypnotized her," Lin Zhou said.

Chen Yu nodded, "Okay."

Lin Zhou: "?"

"I was just kidding."

"I know," Chen Yu hummed in agreement, seemingly possessing a rather serious personality. "Then what about the important instructions from Chairman Gu that you mentioned earlier..."

"I gave the instructions on her behalf," Lin Zhou said.

Chen Yu: "..."

What kind of substitution is this?

Chen Yu pushed up his glasses, his gaze lingering for a moment on the bandage on Lin Zhou's forehead.

Forget it.

Of the two people, one has a physical problem, and the other has a mental problem.

"Why did you call me back?" Chen Yu asked. "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"This." Lin Zhou handed him the document in his hand.

"What?"

"Request temporary funding."

Chen Yu took the documents and glanced at them. "You've seen these documents... You're not a member of the student council, and your behavior... well, let's not talk about that for now. The college just returned your application, so you can't apply anymore."

"I know." Lin Zhou pointed to the returned explanation, "but the college returned compensation for the accident losses."

"What's the difference?" Chen Yu didn't see any problem.

"The difference is huge." Lin Zhou pulled out the loss register and turned to the page that Gu Yuning had marked.

"This million is the money to buy all the damaged items again, but what we really need tomorrow are two cameras, a few tablets, a stereo system, some miscellaneous items, and the music club's electronic keyboard."

"The costumes can be rearranged, the props aren't needed for now, and clubs that have already finished their events aren't in a hurry," Lin Zhou said.

"The college is unwilling to approve the funding now because the responsibility for the fire has not been clearly determined."

Lin Zhou continued, "If this million is approved, it would be equivalent to the college acknowledging all the compensation in advance, so of course they can't agree to it."

"But the temporary emergency funds are different..." Chen Yu looked down at tomorrow's event schedule, "As long as it can be proven that these facilities are related to whether the school anniversary celebration can continue, we can apply for them from the event support fund."

"right."

"We'll get the equipment we can from the college first, and then use emergency funds to rent the equipment we can't get."

"right."

"The accident compensation will continue to await the determination of liability, and will be separate from this money."

"right."

Chen Yu was silent for a few seconds. "I see... That is indeed a good idea. Let's maintain the school anniversary celebration for now..."

"But the remaining money... is still a big problem," Chen Yu said. "This only solved one problem."

"Let's save tomorrow first," Lin Zhou said.

"Um……"

The two of them simply sat down on a bench outside the office, put the loss register and activity sheet together, and checked them one by one.

Chen Yu recalculated, "If it's just for maintaining the school anniversary celebration... including transportation and testing, it should be less than 20,000."

From one million to twenty thousand.

It was only a temporary 20,000.

"The remaining money is still a big problem," Chen Yu said. "The chairman has this intention... I feel I shouldn't sit idly by. I'll advance 500,000 yuan."

Lin Zhou: "You're also paying with your pocket money..."

Chen Yu shook his head. "No, that's not it."

He said, "My family business... I receive dividends from my shares every year. Although it's not much, I can still come up with 500,000."

Lin Zhou crossed his arms, gave a wry smile, and said, "You guys are all really rich. Should I not get involved in this?"

"Money is indeed not the issue..." Chen Yu forced a rare smile onto his calm face. "It's the student council's reputation and the determination of responsibility... This would be a huge blow to the student council and its president. Moreover, if they really come up with a million, wouldn't that be tantamount to the student council admitting to being irresponsible and negligent?"


"Okay." The two quickly revised a temporary emergency application for the school anniversary celebration, removing all compensation details and only keeping equipment rental, transportation, and safety inspection.

Lin Zhou then handed the pen to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn't answer. "Why did I have to write it?"

"You're also the president," Lin Zhou said.

Chen Yu: "..."

He adjusted his glasses. "Yes, you're right."

He even developed a greater appreciation for Lin Zhou.

After finishing organizing the application forms, Chen Yu suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Lin Zhou, you should probably pay more attention to the president's mental state when you have time."

"Hmm? Oh... I know." Lin Zhou nodded.

"Although the president appears very strong, she seems to listen to you exceptionally well... You just need to show her more care and gentleness, and she..."

"Ah... I see." Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt that Chen Yu had a strange smell.

He seemed very eager to bring himself and Yu Ning together.

Why?

What is the purpose?

Want to be a matchmaker?

"While I am very grateful for your help to the student union, these things ultimately did not resolve the core issue," Chen Yu said.

Lin Zhou glanced at him, then said, "I know... so, this."

Chen Yu was taken aback when he noticed that Lin Zhou had taken out several forms.

"This is... the site application, the electricity application... and..." Chen Yu looked at the several application forms in his hand. "Are you trying to find the party responsible for the fire through these? We've already looked at them... and they all comply with the procedures."

"What is the intended use of this classroom?"

"The items from the school anniversary celebration will be temporarily stored," Chen Yu said.

"Then why are there several devices in the appliance supplement list that require continuous power?"

Chen Yu glanced down and said, "These are fine."

"Yes, the delivery note and application form are fine, but..."

"What if I told you that the equipment sent in wasn't these at all? The models were completely different."

"How do you know the models are different?" Chen Yu was taken aback.

"Does this label say...white double-door freezer...?"

"Um."

"It was blue, the one at the fire scene was blue, and there was a huge outdoor unit," Lin Zhou said. "I saw it in the classroom where the fire started."

"...?" Chen Yu asked, "How do you know that only coke was left at the scene...? The equipment in the surveillance footage was still in its packaging at the time."

"I was there," Lin Zhou said.

At the time, in order to find Wanwan, he wore X-ray vision glasses and looked around everywhere.

Chen Yu's eyes lit up. "A fire...you said someone rushed into the fire to save people...you...you mean...you saw it."

"Okay," Lin Zhou said, "We don't need to search for the responsible party on a large scale anymore. Let's carefully look for evidence in the direction I'm pointing. I think..."

"The results will be available soon."
