Chapter 125 Troublesome Matters
Trouble came much faster than expected.
On the last day of military training, backstage at the welcome party after the military parade, Shen Jue found Xiao You.
Lin Huai, as the host, spent the whole night rehearsing his script.
Xiao You has a solo show where she represents them using computer machines.
These messages had already spread to the school's online forum, and many people came to watch the rehearsal in advance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the handsome young man from the Computer Science department.
When Xiao You saw Shen Jue arrive, she whispered, "What do you want?"
Xiao You slowly walked to a stop, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, folded them neatly, put them in her pocket, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Isn't my meaning obvious enough?
"You mean you hit my roommate?" Xiao You asked.
Everyone was afraid of Shen Jue because he had powerful connections and was arrogant and ruthless.
But Xiao You didn't care.
I just think this person overdid it.
Shen Jue explained casually, "It was just a minor verbal altercation. I'm not the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason. Even if I did cause trouble, I wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for my crush's roommate. Don't you think that makes sense?"
Xiao You nodded and said, "That makes sense, but unfortunately, I already have a boyfriend."
Shen Jue glanced at Xiao You and smiled rudely: "That's really unfortunate. I just don't know how your relationship with your boyfriend is, and whether you'll stay together forever."
"No need for you to trouble yourself, Shen." Xiao You stood up. "Excuse me, I have a rehearsal to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Shen Jue raised the corners of his lips and said casually, "Being with me, the life you experience every day is something a fresh college student like you can't even imagine. You can drive any car in the garage, stay wherever you want in the villa, and I'll buy you whatever you want. Isn't this kind of life happier than being with that poor kid who's too poor to even accept a spot to study abroad?"
Xiao You was speechless.
He didn't know anything about the quota for going abroad.
"Looks like you don't know? I know that the school wanted to give your beloved boyfriend an exchange spot to Jianqiao University, but his mother refused."
Seeing that Xiao You still hadn't reacted, Shen Jue grew anxious. He scoffed, his tone almost mocking: "Let me tell you straight, you're not blind or stupid. Following me is the right choice. Is high school friendship more satisfying than material wealth? Or is it that this guy surnamed Lin can give you more pleasure in bed?"
One punch sent Shen Jue, who was speaking, sprawling to the ground.
The curtain backstage wasn't properly drawn, and the cardboard box behind him wasn't sturdy. This punch sent Shen Jue tumbling from backstage all the way to the front of the stage, with the curtain falling to his feet.
That's so embarrassing.
The nose bled from the impact.
He stood up and rubbed his groin. "You bastard, you dare touch me? Believe me or not, I'll cripple you."
Lin Huai walked out from backstage. He had thin eyelids and deep eyes. He slowly looked directly at the person in front of him, exuding a nonchalant yet intimidating aura.
"You're welcome to try. I'd like to see just how much power people in real life can wield."
Shen Jue shivered.
Several teachers rushed out and said casually, "It's nothing, just a minor conflict on stage. Everyone, please continue with your work."
He then planned to disperse the people watching the rehearsal.
After all, many people had raised their phones.
Lin Huai's voice was cold and clear, "This is how you, the teachers of a prestigious university, are going to handle this matter—making people speak so carelessly in public? Isn't this a disgrace to the reputation of Tsinghua and Peking Universities?"
The teachers were stunned.
Shen Jue took out his phone, sent a WeChat message to Lin Huai, and said, "Are you fucking blind? What makes you think you can act so disrespectfully in Beijing's elite circles? Don't you want to live here anymore?"
Before the teacher could calm Shen Jue down, Lin Huai's arrogance flared up as well. "This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. Yesterday, this student beat up my roommate on the military training field, today he was rude backstage and insulted my boyfriend, and now he's using foul language in front of the camera, damaging our school's reputation. I can't tolerate this kind of scum. I wonder if your school can tolerate him?"
After speaking, he stood up, patted Shen Jue on the shoulder, smiled gently, and held up his phone to show him.
A video chat was running on his phone; the person he was talking to was Shen Jue's father.
In an instant, Shen Jue was in a sorry state and knelt on the ground.
The teachers stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Let's rehearse first. We don't have much time left. Shen Jue, come down with us first. We can deal with anything else later."
Finally, he didn't forget to greet the bureau chief in the video.
The students watching the rehearsal were experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, it was incredibly thrilling.
Today's rehearsal was even more exciting than the live performance.
The gossip girl has summarized today's juicy tidbits:
First, Shen Jue bullied a classmate yesterday.
Second, Shen Jue took a liking to Xiao You.
Third, Xiao You and Lin Huai, the two most handsome students in the computer science department, are dating.
Fourth, does Lin Huai have Shen Jue's father's WeChat?
Mr. Wang, who was reading the replies on Tieba, got really excited and immediately posted a comment.
Hello everyone, I'm the computer science freshman who was beaten to the ground by Shen Jue yesterday. On the solemn training ground, Shen Jue, dressed and behaving like a mafia boss, brought me before him, intending to force me to reveal the personal information of my classmate, roommate, and sworn brother, Xiao You (of course, I kept my mouth shut, unafraid of power, and didn't say anything). During this time, I noticed this guy had no sense of social responsibility, spitting sunflower seed shells everywhere. The pile of shells made this tough guy soften, and I complained to him a couple of times. As a result, he attacked me with vicious words and even kneed my handsome cheek. (Attached picture 1)
Fortunately, I'm tough (but I'm also very sensitive), and with the encouragement of my roommates, I finally stood up bravely. I believe that everyone, like me, has long been disgusted by the evil forces and social atmosphere in the school. Let's stand up together, unafraid of power, and express our anger!
...
The matter has escalated quite a bit, and according to the school's disciplinary measures, Shen Jue should receive a major demerit.
The bureau chief personally came to the school to pick up the person. It is said that in the principal's office, Shen Jue knelt down directly in front of his father. The final decision was that he would return to school after three days of ideological education.
This whole commotion has put Lin Huai in an awkward position.
The bureau chief saw Lin Huai in the principal's office and greeted him.
To prevent foreign spies from eavesdropping, they used a new domestically produced operating system on their office computers, and Lin Huai was one of the main developers of this system.
Last month, I met Director Shen while representing their R&D team to demonstrate and train staff at various government agencies.
I added a contact number so that it will be easier to answer system questions in the future.
I never expected that the first time I contacted someone via WeChat would be because of my son who had caused trouble.
But what father wouldn't protect his child?
Director Shen cut to the chase: “I don’t want my son to have a disciplinary record. I can see that you are the mastermind behind this whole thing, so as long as you’re at the school, my son will never graduate properly.”
Having said that, Director Shen felt that Lin Huai should have understood.
"You mean, you want your son to drop out of school?" Lin Huai straightened his cuffs and took a sip of water.
Director Shen felt that this person was somewhat ungrateful. "I hope you won't say a word about what happened today. Of course, if you're willing, I can sponsor you to go to Jianqiao University. I'll cover all the expenses, as long as you don't go to Tsinghua or Peking University."
Lin Huai turned and left.
"You two just don't like each other. It's just a childish squabble. There's no need to jeopardize your future. I hope you've thought it through."
Director Shen's voice echoed throughout the office.
Lin Huai opened the door and saw Xiao You standing there.
He nodded, took Xiao You's hand, and left together.
Xiao You didn't ask him what he said, what he planned to do, when he got the opportunity to go abroad, or why he didn't go.
She simply followed him downstairs.
Xiao You thought, "Even after transmigrating into the body of a student, that domineering young master's demeanor is still there."
