Just One Microwave Oven

A flicker of panic appeared in the Director's eyes. He glanced at Xu Yi before immediately opening the door.

"Hello, it's your Pinhǎo Fàn delivery. Remember to give me a five-star review."

The delivery guy peeked inside, unsure why the atmosphere within was so strange.

But still, for the sake of his livelihood, he asked for the five-star review.

The Director breathed a sigh of relief. "Who ordered takeout?"

Wang Liang raised his hand. "Me, me."

Liu Yu: "Of course~ He's always crying poor to us buddies. And yet he orders takeout, and it's even a trendy national brand."

The Director frowned. "Eat less of that. Takeout isn't hygienic or healthy. Isn't it better to eat more from the cafeteria?"

The delivery person, who was only halfway out the door, immediately turned back upon hearing this.

"Bro, I don't like hearing you say that. Although the owner and I have no connection, I still want to say a few words for him. His shop is clean and hygienic."

"Heh~ I don't believe it. I bet the stove isn't clean and the pots are just scrubbed."

"You're wrong about that! That place doesn't have a stove, let alone pots. They only have a microwave. How could the environment be bad?"

The Director: "..."

Wang Liang's hand trembled, and his rice spilled onto the table.

But then he thought about the 9.9 yuan double-dish special and used his chopsticks to push it back.

After the delivery person had completely left, the Director resumed his heart-to-heart talk with the three of them.

"The three of you might not graduate. Please don't ask me why. Sometimes, look for the reasons within yourselves. Have you put in the effort all these years? Have your credits increased? Have you been studying seriously? This school is very difficult!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another knock came from the door.

Knock, knock, knock~

"What? Who ordered takeout again?"

"What did they order this time? Pinhǎo Nǎi?"

Bang~

This time, before anyone could open it, the door was violently pushed open.

"B-bold...?" (gradually quieter)

"Principal! Hehe, Principal, what are you doing here? I've managed this dorm very well, you don't need to inspect it. Rest assured."

The Director instantly put on a fawning expression. This display left everyone in awe.

Look at him, now you know why he's the Director, right?

Unexpectedly, the Principal's face was icy cold, and he slowly squeezed out words of anger between his teeth, "Director Li! What are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Director Li was a bit bewildered and awkwardly looked around.

The HR manager standing behind the Principal approached Xu Yi, speaking respectfully, "Young Master Xu, we didn't anticipate this situation either. We apologize."

[...]

Everyone suddenly looked up. "Young Master Xu?!"

The Director's face was even more confused. "Young... Young Master Xu?"

The Principal explained, "This Manager Sun is the HR manager from Furun Group, responsible for recruiting at our school."

"Then why is he in our dorm?" The Director already had a bad feeling, but he still refused to believe it.

"It's because you locked up Xu Yi! Manager Sun couldn't wait for him, so he came to me."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Boom~

This news was no less than a thunderclap, leaving Manager Sun thoroughly stunned.

Wait a minute, man, you're really him!

What makes you so special?

The Principal shook his head and sighed. "Director Li, you've caused trouble. Big trouble."

Plop~

Director Li couldn't stand and sat down on the bed.

The Principal didn't even look at him, instead turning his gentle gaze towards Xu Yi. "Xiao Yi, have you been wronged? Tell the Principal."

"Principal, I miss my father again..."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

The Principal's scalp instantly went numb.

"Li the Skinflint, look at the mess you've made."

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm already sweating buckets."

"It's okay, it's okay. Principal, don't blame Director Li, he didn't know my uncle was the Chairman of Furun Group."

"What?"

"Chairman?!"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Director Li's face instantly turned pale. If he was just a little scared before, now he was filled with endless dread.

After all, the Chairman was also one of the School Board Members.

Wouldn't firing him be a matter of minutes?

Dude, if you have such an awesome background, why didn't you say so?

What's the meaning of writing "orphan" in the background section?

Are you playing dirty?

At this moment, Wang Liang and Liu Yu, two young men, were equally stunned.

Shocking! The young master was right beside me.

Chilling thought! The roommate who claimed to be an orphan is actually the young master of Furun Group.

Invincible! The orphan roommate has so many uncles~

"Heh heh~"

Wang Liang gave a dry laugh, "Young Master Xu, how did you get another uncle?"

"I only found out today."

"Heh heh~"

The two of them sneered. You expect me to believe that?

You only found out today you have a chairman uncle?

The day I found out my mom's friend was the head of security, I knew it on the first day.

Xu Yi glanced at the time, "I need to go handle the recruitment."

"Then, Young Master Xu, what about my matter of becoming a security guard at your esteemed company?" Wang Liang took out a carton of 'Eight Nuclear Bombs' milk.

"There's a case that needs you to cover it."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

"Idiot, you don't even know how to give gifts."

Rule number one of gift-giving: give what the recipient needs.

Giving 'Nuclear Bombs' milk, is that a reminder that he needs to supplement his brainpower?

Liu Yu mocked inwardly, then handed over a slip of paper.

"..."

"Young Master Xu, permanent membership..."

"Then you really have a lot of 'stone' power, you really know how to live." Xu Yi praised.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"But am I that kind of person?"

"I'm sending you to be a close-range nuclear explosion observer."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Happily reaping a wave of Emotion Points, Xu Yi followed the manager out.

Oh, right!

Xu Yi turned his head to look at the Principal, "Principal, Director Li's words today were deafening and made me miss my father very much."

How dare he!

The Principal's face turned grim, and he immediately realized what needed to be done.

"Director Li, you've been taking quite a few kickbacks over the years, haven't you?"

Plop~

Director Li collapsed on the ground, raising his head in disbelief, "Principal, you knew?"

"Heh heh~ I've given you chance after chance, but unfortunately, you still haven't repented."

In reality, these weren't chances at all.

It was intentional not to mention them, so that if he ever stepped out of line, he could bring out the evidence to put him in his place.

This world isn't about fighting and killing; it's all about human relationships and social maneuvering.

You just keep learning, you hear?

If you've offended Young Master Xu, then you can't be kept around anymore.

Director Li was completely losing it now.

At worst, he had previously thought he would be fired, but he never expected to become a jail hero now.

He grabbed the Principal's pant leg, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Principal, what can I do to make him let me go?"

"Xu Yi isn't in a good mood."

Director Li understood instantly and quickly got up to chase after Xu Yi.

"Young Master Xu, I've come to apologize~"

Director Li followed Xu Yi obsequiously all the way, continuing to follow him even at the venue.

"Xu Yi, Director knows he was wrong."

"You don't just know you were wrong; you know you're finished."

"It's all the same, all the same… I've saved up quite a bit of money over these years."
