"Brother, would you like a drink?"
Arriving at the small restaurant at the school gate, Wang Yue asked the counselor eagerly, but was glared at by the counselor.
"I think you're trying to hurt me. What were you thinking about drinking on the job?"
"Brother, ignore him! Let's drink! Sister, give us each a bottle of Arctic Ocean!"
Cao Dongliang immediately took over the conversation and ordered a few bottles of Arctic Ocean.
"Okay, tell me what's going on with Du Chen first. Wang Yue just gave a brief explanation, so I'm not entirely sure!"
The counselor asked several people in dormitory 302.
"Brother, this is what happened. We've noticed that Du Chen has been leaving home early and coming back late every day. He always comes back dusty and exhausted. When we first asked him what he'd been doing, he said he had something else to do..."
"Well, it's a bit unusual, especially since you said you're covered in dust every day?"
The counselor confirmed it again.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm exhausted every day. I fall asleep soon after returning to the dormitory at night. I look exhausted."
Cao Dongliang added.
"And then, keep talking!"
"It wasn't until two days ago when we asked him if he was working outside that he admitted he was. He didn't say anything else."
"Is that so..."
"Working is working, but that doesn't mean Du Chen's family conditions are bad, right?"
The counselor raised his own questions.
"Brother, we've thought about it too. Maybe Du Chen went out to work to improve his abilities or to enrich himself. But there's no need to hide it from the people in our dormitory. Besides, there are many places where he can work to enrich himself, such as tutoring, or interning at a company. At the very least, he could work part-time at KFC. He wouldn't come home covered in dust every day, looking like he'd been working at a construction site."
Bao Tongsheng told the counselor about his analysis of their dormitory.
"So what do you mean? How do you want to help Du Chen?"
The counselor asked the others.
"Brother, we're trying to find Du Chen a less stressful job, but we'd also like to ask if the school has any subsidies or something like that. Let's help Du Chen with both approaches."
Wang Yue asked the counselor.
"I don't have any better ideas right now. I can only wait until the end of the semester to help Du Chen apply for a national scholarship. As for the National Outstanding College Student Scholarship, it all depends on Du Chen's grades. If his grades are up to standard, there will be no problem on my side!"
The counselor thought about it and realized that the only two things that were useful to Du Chen were the national scholarship and the award for outstanding college students. The former was easy to deal with, but the latter could only be determined by academic performance, which could not be faked, and he had no other choice.
"As long as there are terms and conditions, I believe Du Chen will be fine!"
Wang Yue said firmly to the counselor.
"We don't have the final say on this. When the national scholarship form comes out in a couple of days, have Du Chen fill it out! I'll let you know then!"
"Brother, can we fill out that form for you?"
Cao Dongliang asked the counselor.
"Why? I filled out this request myself!"
The counselor asked Cao Dongliang in confusion.
"Brother, I'm afraid Du Chen won't want to fill out this form given his personality. He went to work because of his financial difficulties and didn't even tell us. I'm afraid Du Chen won't want to fill out this form! So I was thinking, could we fill it out for him and keep it a secret from him? Then he won't be able to do anything after the results come out!"
Wu Zhipeng explained to the counselor.
"What you said makes sense, but how should I put it? This form will be placed in Du Chen's file bag in the future. The handwriting is a problem. It doesn't have any impact now, but I can't guarantee whether it will have any impact in the future if the handwriting is different. I'm also not sure whether it will have any impact on Du Chen in the future! You'd better discuss it with Du Chen. After all, files are a lifelong matter!"
The counselor explained the pros and cons to the other people in 302. Deep down, he didn't want Wang Yue and Cao Dongliang to operate in this way.
"Is that so?"
Wang Yue asked the counselor hesitantly.
"Of course! So I think you should have a good discussion with Du Chen!"
The counselor persuaded the others in 302.
"I'm a little worried that Du Chen won't want to apply for this scholarship!"
Liu Pinchao knew Du Chen quite well, and it was indeed the case. Even if Du Chen was really in trouble, he was unwilling to apply for this scholarship.
"Whether he's willing or not, I hope you can still have a chat with Du Chen! Not only for the future, but I also believe Du Chen has the right to know. Although you're prepared to help Du Chen, I think you should still respect Du Chen's own opinion! Even if you have good intentions!"
The counselor's words made the people in dormitory 302 look at each other in confusion. They had not really thought of this at first. They only thought that this was for Du Chen, so all their thoughts were their own, and they did not consider it from Du Chen's perspective.
"Brother, when do we fill out this form? Can you give us some time to think about it?"
Bao Tongsheng asked the counselor.
"About a week or so? Generally speaking, this form should be filled out half a month before your vacation. By the time of winter vacation, the financial aid forms should be compiled."
The counselor thought about it for a moment, then said to Wang Yue and the others.
"There's still a week left, so let's think about it carefully this week and figure out how to persuade Du Chen!"
