The Director's eyes showed a flicker of panic. After glancing at Xu Yi, he immediately opened the door.

"Hello, Ping Hao Fan delivery. Remember to give me a five-star review."

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

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

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

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

Liu Yu: "Yeah~ He's always crying poor to me. Turns out he's ordering takeout, and it's a trendy national brand too."

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 had only gotten halfway out the door, immediately turned back upon hearing this.

"Bro, I don't like hearing you say that. Even though the owner and I aren't close, I still want to say a few words for him. His shop is clean and hygienic."

"Heh~ I don't believe the kitchen stove in that shop isn't dirty, or that the pots are clean."

"You're actually wrong about that! That shop doesn't have a stove, nor does it have pots. It only has a microwave oven. 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 double-dish special and used his chopsticks to push the rice 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. Don't ask me why. Sometimes, look for your own reasons. Have you put in the effort over the years? Have your credits increased? Have you been studying seriously? School is difficult!"

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

Knock, knock, knock~

"Seriously, who ordered takeout again?"

"What did they order this time? Ping Hao Milk?"

Bang!

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

"So... bold of you (gradually quieter)...?"

"Principal, hehe, Principal, why are you here? I'm managing this dorm very well, you don't need to check. Rest assured."

The Director's face instantly turned into a fawning expression, a move that 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 angry words from between his teeth, "Di-rec-tor Li! What are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Director Li was a bit bewildered and looked around awkwardly.

The Human Resources Manager, standing behind the Principal, approached Xu Yi and said respectfully, "Young Master Xu, we didn't anticipate this situation. We apologize."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

[...]

Everyone immediately looked up, "Young Master Xu?!"

The Director was even more confused, "Xu... Young Master Xu?"

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

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

"It's because you locked Xu Yi up! Manager Sun couldn't get hold of him, so he approached me."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Boom~

This news was no less than a thunderclap, shocking Manager Sun to his core.

No way, man, you're the real deal!

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.

However, the Principal didn't even glance at him, instead casting a 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.

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

Stop talking, stop talking, I'm already drenched in sweat.

"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]

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Director Li's face instantly turned deathly pale. If he had only been a little scared before, now he was filled with endless terror.

After all, the Chairman was also one of the school board members.

Firing him would be a matter of minutes, right?

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 mind games?

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

Shocking! The young master is right beside me.

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

Invincible! My 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. Who were you trying to fool?

You only found out today that you have a chairman uncle?

My mom knew the security captain on the first day.

Xu Yi glanced at the time, "I need to go take care of the recruitment."

"Then, Young Master Xu, about me working as a security guard at your company?" Wang Liang brought out eight "Nuclear Bomb" milk cartons.

"There's a case that needs you to handle."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

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

The first rule of gift-giving: give what the recipient needs.

Giving "Nuclear Bomb" milk, is that a reminder that he needs to supplement his brain?

Liu Yu secretly mocked him, then handed over a piece of paper.

"..."

"Young Master Xu, a lifetime membership..."

"Then you've got some real taste, you really know how to live." Xu Yi praised.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"But am I that kind of person?"

"I'll assign you to be a close-range nuclear explosion observer."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

After 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, they made me miss my father."

How dare you!

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

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

Thump~

Director Li collapsed onto the ground, looking up 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.

He deliberately withheld them, planning to use the evidence to put pressure on them whenever they stepped out of line.

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

Just you wait and see~

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

Director Li was completely losing it now.

Before, the worst he'd imagined was being fired, but now he was going to be a jail hero.

He grabbed the Principal's pant leg as if it were a life-saving straw.

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

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

Director Li understood immediately, quickly got up, and chased after Xu Yi.

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

Director Li followed Xu Yi obsequiously all the way, even trailing him into the venue.

"Xu Yi, Director knows he was wrong."

"You don't 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 the years too."
