"No need. I'm worried Auntie won't be able to handle it."
"Oh, come on, why be so polite? We're all brothers here."
"It's unnecessary. I can get into the Furun Group whenever I want." Xu Yi could only explain again.
Well, well!
Wang Liang and Liu Yu's eyes widened at the same time.
Young Master Xu was pretty cocky.
"I can get in whenever I want~~" (sarcastically)
Xu Yi shrugged and didn't explain further.
You guys have no idea what kind of background I come from.
That's probably for the best. When they found out later, he'd get another wave of Emotion Points.
Just as Xu Yi began thinking about how to squeeze Emotion Points out of the two of them, the dorm room door swung open.
"Director? What brings you here..."
The director glanced at Xu Yi, then looked at Wang Liang and Liu Yu. "Still chatting?
"Furun Group is holding a recruitment fair at the school. They've given us more than fifty exclusive spots."
More than fifty?!
The two of them sucked in a sharp breath at the same time.
Don't think more than fifty was a small number.
Furun Group was so competitive that out of ten thousand applicants, they might hire only one.
So fifty exclusive spots were definitely special treatment for the school.
The director nodded. "That's right. I don't know why Furun Group is giving our school special consideration this year. In previous years, they only gave us five or six spots."
Xu Yi felt a little warm inside. It was obvious Li Wen had been especially generous because of him.
In fact, the message Li Wen had suddenly sent him confirmed it.
Li Wen: Xiao Yi, I've sent the HR director to recruit at your school. The principal has already agreed to let you go straight into the graduate program, no conditions.
"You know the school well, so help the director screen candidates. Think of it as getting your team together early."
"Young Master Xu, stop playing on your phone and let's go. If we wait any longer, the spots will be taken." Wang Liang urged him.
"Okay."
Xu Yi had just reached the door when the director stretched out an arm to block him.
"You don't need to go."
"Huh?"
"You've got nothing going for you except your looks. There's no point in you going."
Xu Yi frowned.
Wang Liang and Liu Yu were both stunned.
For a guy, that was an extremely high compliment.
Was the director praising him or insulting him?
The director continued, "So you might as well stay behind, clean the dorm, and get started on studying for the graduate school entrance exam."
Got it. The director was deliberately picking on him.
The two exchanged glances, seeing the same astonishment in each other's eyes.
Was the director really that stubborn?
Didn't he know what kind of background Young Master Xu had?
A bureau chief!
Even the principal had to treat him with the utmost respect.
In fact, the director really didn't know.
His rank was too low. When the bureau chief came to inspect, only school leaders at the vice-principal level or above had been assigned to accompany him.
Xu Yi spoke up then. "There's no need to trouble yourself over this, Director. I have to go to this recruitment fair."
"What if I say you can't?" The director's expression darkened.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Wang Liang hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. "Director, with Xu Yi's background, he could easily coast through life. But he's still actively taking part in the recruitment fair. That's really inspiring."
Wang Liang had practically spelled it out, but our stubborn fellow only sneered.
"Enough. I know you two are close. Him, coast through life? He's already a complete mess."
"Director, you..."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up. It seemed he'd found a chance to soar to the top.
His voice suddenly rose. "Director, you've gone too far! How can you talk about Xu Yi like that?"
Wang Liang glanced at Liu Yu and immediately understood.
You little sneak! You beat me to it!
"That's right! Director, I demand that you apologize to Xu Yi."
Wang Liang quickly piled on, too. How could he let Liu Yu take all the credit?
The director stared at the two of them, bewildered.
Something wasn't right!
Those two idiots hadn't joined in to kick Xu Yi while he was down. Something was up!
Before he could figure it out, Xu Yi launched a direct attack. "Director, all I did was report you for forcing students to buy books and bedding... and cutting off your source of income.
"Did you really have to target me on purpose?"
"You—you—you..." The director's face flushed red with anger.
Wang Liang twisted the knife. "Hehe~ Director, you wouldn't want the principal to find out about your kickbacks, would you?"
The world had turned upside down!
The director's expression turned completely grim, his voice cold and ominous. "You don't want to go to graduate school? You don't want to graduate?"
Wang Liang and Liu Yu fell silent immediately.
No matter how badly they wanted to suck up to Young Master Xu, they still had to consider their own abilities.
They clearly didn't have the guts to take on the director head-on.
The two lowered their heads at the same time and said nothing.
"Hmph!
"Disrespecting your elders and threatening a teacher. That's enough to keep all three of you from graduating. But I'm a kind man, so I'll give you a very light punishment.
"You'll sit here with me in the dorm all afternoon. I'll have a heart-to-heart with you and learn how the students are doing."
With that, he shut the dorm room door and plopped down on Wang Liang's bed as if he owned the place.
"Why are there paper balls here?"
"Wang Liang, you need to pay attention to your hygiene. What's that smell..."
(Sniff, sniff~)
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Let me ask you this: as a man, is that smell really unfamiliar to you?
Why were you reacting so strongly? Who were you trying to fool by acting innocent?
Negative Emotion Points +50
"Xu Yi!"
"Wang Liang, picking up where we left off. The Fire Record. Fire Martial Marquis Yu, of the Uchiha clan. So, let's talk about it: what rank of nobility and posthumous title should Uchiha Itachi have? That's hard to judge. Sure, he prevented civil war in the country, but..."
Negative Emotion Points +50

Negative Emotion Points +50
"Xu Yi!"
"Xu Yi!"
"What is it, Director? We're discussing the Records of the Grand Historian."
Negative Emotion Points +50
Is that really what you call discussing the Records of the Grand Historian?
Wang Liang looked up and met the director's furious gaze. "Director, if we sit here in the dorm all afternoon, the recruitment fair will be over."
"I know~"
"???"
Wang Liang clenched his fists. "Director, this is a chance to change my life. Please, show some mercy."
"What's that got to do with me? I'm just doing my job."
Beast!
Xu Yi's expression remained calm. "Director, are you sure you want to keep us here all afternoon?"
"This is called having a heart-to-heart with you. Watch your wording."
"But I have to go to the recruitment fair."
"Hmph~ That goes without saying. Every senior thinks they have to go to the recruitment fair."
"No. I mean the recruitment fair can't do without me. I'm part of the recruitment team."
"You?"
The director froze for a few seconds, then burst out laughing as if he'd just heard a joke.
"I'm Qin Shi Huang. Send me fifty yuan to help me achieve greatness."
Xu Yi shrugged. "Suit yourself. But when the HR director comes looking for me, things could get awkward."
"Ha! You think that'll scare me? At the start of the semester, I checked every student's background.
"Yang De has the most impressive background among you."
Wang Liang and Liu Yu exchanged glances.
No wonder he was so stubborn. His version hadn't updated yet!
Yang De had become a hero of the past. Now it was time for the latest T0 version: Young Master Xu!
Knock, knock, knock~
The next second, someone knocked on the door.
All four of them looked up at once, their expressions varied and complicated.
