A trace of panic appeared in the director's eyes. He glanced at Xu Yi, then immediately opened the door.
"Hello, your Pinhaofan delivery is here. Remember to leave me a five-star review."
The delivery guy peered inside. He couldn't figure out why the atmosphere in there was so strange.
But he still asked for a five-star review to make a living.
The director let out a sigh of relief. "Who ordered delivery?"
Wang Liang raised his hand. "Me, me."
Liu Yu said, "Oh, you can afford it now? You're always whining to the guys about being broke, and now you're ordering delivery. And it's from a trendy Chinese-style place, too."
The director frowned. "You should eat less of that. Takeout isn't hygienic or healthy. Why not eat more in the cafeteria?"
The delivery guy had only made it halfway out when he heard that and immediately turned around.
"Hey, I don't like hearing you say that. The owner and I aren't exactly close, but I still want to stick up for him. His shop is clean and hygienic."
"Ha. I don't believe the stove in that shop isn't filthy. What, do they use a pot to scrub the stove?"
"Then you're absolutely wrong! That shop doesn't have a pot, let alone a stove. All it has is a microwave oven. How could the place possibly be dirty?"
The director said nothing.
Wang Liang's hand shook, and his rice spilled upside down onto the table.
But then he thought of the 9.9 yuan double combo and used his chopsticks to scoop it back into the bowl.
After the delivery guy had left for good, the director resumed his heart-to-heart with the three of them.
"You three might not graduate. Don't ask me why. Sometimes you need to look at yourselves. All these years, have you put in any effort? Have your credits gone up? Have you been studying seriously? School is hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another knock at the door.
Knock, knock, knock~
"Come on, who ordered delivery again?"
"What is it this time? Milk tea?"
Bang!
This time, before anyone could go open it, the door was shoved violently open.
"B-b-b-b-b...bold..." His voice trailed off.
"Principal! Heh heh, what brings you here? I've been managing this dorm really well. There's no need for you to inspect it. Don't worry."
The director's expression instantly turned obsequious. Everyone was amazed by the transformation.
Look at him. Now you know how he became a director, right?
Unexpectedly, the principal's face was icy. The words he forced out between clenched teeth were filled with fury. "Director Li! What are you doing?"
"Huh?"
Director Li was bewildered. He looked around awkwardly.
The human resources manager standing behind the principal came up to Xu Yi and spoke respectfully. "Young Master Xu, we didn't expect this to happen either. I'm sorry."

Everyone immediately looked up. "Young Master Xu?!"
The director was even more bewildered. "Y-Young Master Xu?"
The principal explained, "This is Manager Sun, the human resources manager at Furun Group. He's here to recruit at our school."
"Then why did he come to our dorm?" The director had a bad feeling, but he still refused to believe it.
"Because you locked Xu Yi up. Manager Sun had been waiting for him, but he never showed, so he came to me."

Rumble~
The news struck like a bolt of thunder, leaving Manager Sun stunned.
Come on, man. You really are?!
What did you do to deserve that?
The principal shook his head and sighed. "Director Li, you've made a huge mess. You're in serious trouble."
Thud~
Director Li lost his balance and sat down on the bed.
The principal didn't even look at him. Instead, he turned a gentle gaze toward Xu Yi. "Xiao Yi, did you suffer any grievances? Tell the principal."
"Principal, I miss my father again..."

The principal's scalp prickled.
"Look what you've done, Director Li!"
Don't say any more, don't say any more. 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?"
"The chairman?!"

Director Li's face instantly turned deathly pale. If he'd only been a little scared before, now he was consumed by terror.
After all, that chairman was also one of the school's board members.
Couldn't he get fired in the blink of an eye?
Come on, man. If you had such an amazing background, why didn't you say so?
What was the point of putting "orphan" in your background?
Were you trying to mess with me?
Wang Liang and Liu Yu were just as dumbfounded.
Shocking! The Crown Prince was right beside me.
Chilling! My orphaned roommate was actually the Crown Prince of Furun Group.
Invincible! My orphaned roommate has a ton of uncles~
"Heh heh~"
Wang Liang gave an awkward laugh. "Young Master Xu, how'd you get another uncle?"
"I only found out today, too."
"Heh heh~"
The two of them laughed coldly. As if they believed him.
You only found out today that you had a chairman for an uncle?
My mom's sworn brother is the head of the security team. I knew that on day one.
Xu Yi checked the time. "I need to go handle the recruitment first."
"Then, Young Master Xu, what about that job as a security guard at your company?" Wang Liang pulled out eight cans of Nuclear Bomb Milk.
"There's a case I need you to take the fall for."

"Idiot. You don't even know how to give a gift."
Rule number one when giving a gift: Give the other person something they need.
Giving him Nuclear Bomb Milk was basically suggesting he needed to improve his brain, wasn't it?
Liu Yu mocked him inwardly, then handed Xu Yi a slip of paper.
"..."
"Young Master Xu, a lifetime membership..."
"Then you must have a lot of brains and know how to enjoy life," Xu Yi praised.
"Yes, yes."
"But would I ever do something like that?"
"I'll send you to be a close-range nuclear blast observation specialist."

After happily collecting another batch of Emotion Points, Xu Yi followed the manager out.
Oh, right!
Xu Yi turned to look at the principal. "Principal, what Director Li said today really opened my eyes. It made me miss my father a lot."
"B-b-b-b-b...bold!"
The principal's expression darkened. He immediately understood what he needed to do.
"Director Li, you've taken plenty of kickbacks over the years, haven't you?"
Thud~
Director Li collapsed to the floor and looked up in disbelief. "Principal, you knew?"
"Heh. I gave you chance after chance, but you still didn't mend your ways."
In reality, those weren't chances at all.
He'd deliberately kept quiet, waiting for the day Director Li stepped out of line so he could bring out the evidence and put him in his place.
This world wasn't about fighting and killing. It was all about human relations.
Go on, learn from that.
You crossed Young Master Xu. There's no way you can stay now.
Director Li completely broke down.
Before, he'd thought the worst that could happen was getting fired. He hadn't expected to become a prison hero.
He grabbed the principal's pant leg like a drowning man clutching at a lifeline.
"Principal, what can I do to make you let me off?"
"Xu Yi's in a bad mood."
Director Li understood at once. He hurried to his feet and chased after Xu Yi.
"Young Master Xu, I'm here to apologize to you~"
Director Li followed Xu Yi all the way, fawning over him, and kept following even when they reached the auditorium.
"Xu Yi, the director knows he was wrong."
"You don't know you were wrong. You know you're finished."
"It's the same thing, it's the same thing... I've saved up quite a bit of money over the past few years."
