105: Chapter 105 Don't rush, there are benefits to everything.
The title of "Godfather" was, of course, not uttered.
Shen Weiyue was in no rush. Qi Hui, this little newbie who blushed and stammered just talking to An Lan, would sooner or later beg him to let him call him Godfather.
Seeing how easily Shen Weiyue had swindled Qi Hui, Xie Dongming and Zhang Chengbin were not only amazed but also had their alarm bells ringing.
"Damn, could there be a master schemer in our dorm?"
The two looked at Shen Weiyue with strange expressions, while Qi Hui had already gone off to take a shower, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Zhang Chengbin couldn't hold back any longer and whispered, "Shen Weiyue, I just feel like this military training leader position is a thankless job. Why do I get the feeling that Little Hui got scammed and is even helping you count the money?"
"Nonsense, is that just helping me? It's helping us! A-Bin, you're still too young and your perspective is too narrow. You need to open your mind," Shen Weiyue replied.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Why don't you explain it to me quickly!" A-Bin was acting again.
"Let me ask you first, do you want to be the temporary leader?"
"Definitely not!"
"And what about you, Fatty Xie, do you want to?"
"Absolutely not."
Xie Dongming and Zhang Chengbin shook their heads in unison. Shen Weiyue lowered his voice and said, "Well there you go. At that time, the Counselor's gaze was already locked onto the four of us. If Little Hui hadn't bravely stepped up, it might have been one of you two."
"Hiss, so you did us a favor then." Xie Dongming narrowed his small eyes until his pupils were almost invisible.
"No kidding. There are a few other benefits to me doing this. First: Little Hui has indicated since he arrived that his family is poor. He needs scholarships and academic awards more than we do in the future, right?"
"True, leaving aside the awards, A-Bin and I really don't need the scholarships, and as for you, Old Yue... you look like a decent human being, arriving by plane to register, you definitely don't need it either."
"So, for Little Hui to be this leader, it helps him leave a good impression on the faculty, making it more convincing when he applies for financial aid and things like that."
"Excellently put, excellently put. That makes sense."
A-Bin nodded in agreement; Old Yue was indeed far-sighted.
Shen Weiyue took a sip of lemonade and continued, "Second, even if the three of us don't want to be the temporary leader, it can't fall to someone in another dorm."
"Little Hui is one of our own. If he's the leader, it's basically like one of us being the leader. During military training, we can use him as a cover if we need to."
"For example, Fatty Xie, I don't believe you can hold up during the weighted runs and standing in formation forever. With Little Hui covering for us, it'll definitely be more convenient."
"That's so true!" Xie Dongming slammed the table and shouted.
"What's happening outside? Who's yelling?" Qi Hui asked from the Restroom.
"It's nothing, Little Hui, keep playing your music and keep washing. Fatty Xie and I are just talking about something." Zhang Chengbin couldn't help but cover for them, then told Xie Dongming to keep it down.
The two looked sneakily toward the Restroom, and once Qi Hui started singing happily again, they signaled for Shen Weiyue to continue.
"As for the third layer of meaning, I'm thinking that if Little Hui does a good job as temporary leader, we can push him to be the class monitor later. Once he's the class monitor, it will be even more beneficial for him and for us..."
"Spot on, but how can we ensure Little Hui gets elected as class monitor later?"
"That will depend on you two, my virtuous brothers. During military training, you can occasionally buy some lemonade or drinks to build relationships with the classmates, and when the time comes, get them to vote for Little Hui."
"Why do we have to buy them?"
"Because I'm poor."
"Get lost, only an idiot would believe that!"
Xie Dongming cursed, then asked, "So we go out to win people over, and what are you doing?"
"As for Brother Yue, I'm obviously going to handle Counselor Chen Ruobing."
Shen Weiyue had a premonition that since Counselor Chen Ruobing hadn't managed to trap him with the temporary leader position, she would definitely find a way when it came time to elect the class committee.
What he needed to do was find an opportunity to dispel her idea and recommend Qi Hui instead.
In short, the core idea is one thing: Don't focus on me!
I'm a troublemaker, but I'm not making trouble for you.
What are you panicking about?
The three schemed for a moment and happily reached a consensus. So, when Qi Hui came out after showering, he saw three pairs of eyes staring straight at him.
There was gratification, appreciation, and also... pity?
"Damn, A-Bin, what kind of look is that? Don't look at me like that, I'm scared!"
"Little Hui, don't worry, I've got your back."
"Stop, don't 'have my back' like that, I like women."
"Heh, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now; you'll understand sooner or later. When that time comes, you'll willingly call me Godfather too."
"Get lost, why do you talk like Old Yue too?"
Qi Hui grumbled, feeling that the atmosphere in the dorm had become strange. Their gazes... were they really like those of an old father?
Something must be wrong!
The next day.
Qi Hui fulfilled his duties as the leader and woke the scoundrels up early in the morning.
Want to be my Godfather? In your dreams!
Today was the first day of military training; he absolutely could not be late or absent.
Shen Weiyue diligently put on his military training uniform, carefully tidying his appearance in the mirror, as if he could see his former self in his eyes again.
In his past life at the Emergency Bureau, the unit organized military training every year, and as a leader, he had to set a good example.
Therefore, he didn't need to be taught; he was very experienced in how to wear a military training uniform properly.
Besides, on the first day of freshman military training, for the sake of subsequent training, the instructor would definitely make an example of someone to establish authority.
With his handsome charisma, it was hard not to be noticed. It would be troublesome if he were made an example of.
That's just how it is when you're handsome.
"Move over a bit. Old Yue, what are you spacing out for? Dazzled by your own handsomeness?" Xie Dongming squeezed over.
"If you say that, A-Bin is going to be unhappy again." Seeing Fatty Xie take out sunscreen, Shen Weiyue said generously, "Fatty Xie, give me some."
"Ho ho, asking me for stuff without even calling me 'Bro'..." Xie Dongming started putting on airs.
"OJBK, Brother Dong, get it?" Shen Weiyue spread his hands directly.
"Yuezi, you don't treat Brother Dong like an outsider, and Brother Dong is happy, but I don't like your tone..."
"Damn, I give you face and you start acting up. A-Bin, come over here and deal with him!"
"Stop, Shen Weiyue, you're an animal. Take it, but use it sparingly."
Xie Dongming shoved the sunscreen into his hand, muttering while cursing: "You're already handsome enough, why are you still dressing up? Who are you trying to seduce?"
Shen Weiyue glanced at him sideways without answering.
That fat guy doesn't know anything. I have a School Beauty girlfriend, even if it's a fake one announced unilaterally. But if the fox actually comes to Jiangnan one day, wouldn't I lose points if I got tanned?
Sigh, speaking of the fox, why am I thinking about her again? I wonder how she's doing at Tsinghua/Peking, and if any simps are bothering her?
Shen Weiyue felt he was acting abnormally.
Recently, he had been thinking about Zhao Qingyan for no reason. Could it be that he had developed Stockholm syndrome, deriving pleasure and dependence from her whipping him into shape?
But this beautiful fox doesn't date.
What a pity.
"Enough, enough, damn it, are you applying putty?" Xie Dongming was heartbroken seeing him still squeezing out sunscreen.
That was a back-to-school gift from his cousin.
"My skin is thin, applying it thickly helps with sun protection."
"Shen Weiyue, you are truly shameless!"
