131: Chapter 131 Chen Ruobing, are you teaching me how to do things?

Evening.

As soon as Shen Weiyue returned to Dorm 404, Fatty Xie began to wail.

"Oh boy, Shen Weiyue, you dog, school just started and you're already going to Professor Li for extra tutoring every day. Are you trying to secretly work hard and improve so you can snatch Monitor Hui's scholarship?"

This damn fatty was clearly just worried that his roommate was too motivated, yet he insisted on using Qi Hui as an excuse, all while sounding righteous.

He's a scheming dog too.

Now that Qi Hui had become the class monitor, his status in the dorm had improved slightly, and his nickname had finally changed from Little Hui to Monitor Hui, so he could finally experience the benefits of being within the system.

Before he could speak, Shen Weiyue shot Fatty Xie a cold smile and said indifferently, "Dong Zi, I haven't disciplined you for a few days, is your skin itching for a beating again?"

"Yo, yo, yo, A-Bin, Monitor Hui, look at this. Shen the Pretender King has such a big mouth now. If he's so awesome, I've asked him to play basketball several times, but he never dares to come, yet he has the audacity to say he wants to discipline me..."

Xie Dongming said this with a sour, sarcastic tone, reeking of jealousy.

This guy had already crushed Qi Hui and Zhang Chengbin on the basketball court; now, only Shen Weiyue remained, which was why he was so obsessed with it.

To deal with this kind of jerk, Director Shen had plenty of ways.

The simplest way was to do your own thing and ignore him, not bothering to get tangled up.

Shen Weiyue chuckled and shook his head with a sigh, "Sigh, I was originally planning to treat you all to karaoke after the holiday and teach you some flirting techniques. Since Brother Dong is so awesome, I guess we don't need to go. I'll just take A-Bin and A Hui..."

"Don't! Brother, Brother Yue, Master Yue, please call me Dong Zi, I welcome you to discipline me vigorously!" Xie Dongming paused, then lunged over, wailing, "We're a team, the House of Dehua, you can't leave me behind."

His acting was exaggerated, but he made up for it with his full-on attitude.

Shen Weiyue sneered, and only reluctantly nodded in agreement, given that the guy had diligently pulled out a chair for him and grabbed a handful of snacks.

Just a nimble fat guy, easily handled.

A-Bin said nothing, silently watching this brief confrontation, eagerly learning and memorizing the discipline skills in his heart.

To this day, no one could control Shen the Pretender King.

His methods were worth studying.

Shen Weiyue sat down comfortably and ate Xie Dongming's crab-flavored broad beans. Qi Hui finally had a chance to speak, "Brother Yue, the class committee met today. The Counselor said we should organize our own autumn outing. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I'm not the entertainment committee member, why would I have suggestions? You guys should just arrange it yourselves." Shen Weiyue opened his computer, ready to get to work.

"I just asked Fatty Xie and A-Bin, and they suggested visiting West Lake. The class committee previously suggested hiking, and there were also talks of a self-service barbecue or going to see a movie together. Everyone has a lot of opinions, and I'm a bit conflicted."

Qi Hui looked at him very seriously, as if waiting for his opinion.

Shen Weiyue frowned; he didn't want to interfere with the class committee's decision-making.

Saying that Qi Hui being the class monitor was the same as the dorm being in charge was just a joke. Everyone wasn't stupid; trying to rule from behind the curtain would only breed resentment.

Qi Hui was not only a top student, but also had his own opinions and passion, as well as the ability to get things done seriously; it was just that meeting him had overshadowed his brilliance.

These three roommates, even if they wouldn't become business partners in the future, would at least be friends for life.

Thinking of this, Shen Weiyue asked Qi Hui, "Look me in the eyes and tell me, what is your status in the class right now?"

"Class monitor?" Qi Hui's expression was serious.

"Exactly! What is a class monitor? A class monitor is the person who stands up and makes the final decision when everyone else is arguing endlessly."

"Uh, if I just decide directly, will people gossip? If I make a decision and things don't go well, everyone will blame me..."

Shen Weiyue couldn't stand this indecisive, wishy-washy attitude in a man. He slapped the table and shouted, "What 'what if'! There are no 'what ifs'!"

"To wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Being a class monitor is like being a leader; you need the courage to make decisions and the guts to take responsibility. This isn't decided by any person, but by the position you sit in!"

"The Counselor gave the decision-making power to you to test your courage, especially to test your ability as the class monitor. If you don't stand up, who will?"

"But An Lan said..." Qi Hui interrupted hesitantly.

"Who cares what she says, you have to listen to her?" Shen Weiyue was furious, "You're the fucking class monitor, you're the one in charge! How can a real man settle for being under someone else?"

"Qi Hui, remember this: a hen crowing at dawn is the root of chaos. You are a seven-foot-tall hero from the Yanzhao Region, how can you be suppressed by her? If there's any suppressing to be done, you should be the one suppressing her. We men of Dorm 404 don't want shameful humiliation; we want to ride on that humiliation!"

"Stand tall, use your shoulders to carry your responsibilities, don't always think about carrying An Lan's legs. This is my earnest expectation and sincere advice to you!"

"And remember, if it benefits the class, I will sacrifice my life for it; I will not avoid it just because of personal misfortune. As the class monitor, you have a heavy responsibility and a long road ahead."

...

After Shen Weiyue's outburst, Qi Hui was fired up, his eyes filled with hot tears.

This awakened Sigma male slapped his thigh and said fiercely, "Fine, that's settled then, hiking!"

After making the decision, Qi Hui looked at Xie Dongming and Zhang Chengbin and asked, "Fatty Xie, A-Bin, do you support hiking or not?"

"You ask if we support it? You've already made the executive decision, of course we support it." A-Bin and Fatty Xie applauded in response.

Shen Weiyue nodded; this guy finally looked the part.

That's how a man should be. When it comes to doing things, screw everything else, just go for it with full force.

If you really wait for everyone to reach a consensus, you'll be waiting until the earth is destroyed.

In his previous life, when he was a deputy director, Shen Weiyue understood one truth: if a leader isn't strong enough, the people below will be at a loss, dragging their feet and getting nothing done.

You can believe in the power of the masses, but you can't believe in the intelligence of the masses. Blindly pursuing democracy while ignoring reality is just bullshit.

After all this commotion, an hour or so had passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Weiyue went to the Restroom to take a shower, then climbed onto his bed with his laptop, ready to start his writing work for the day.

Qi Hui suddenly received a call, then looked at him strangely, "Brother Yue, Teacher Chen is looking for you."

"Which Teacher Chen?" Shen Weiyue didn't even look up.

"The Counselor, Teacher Chen Ruobing." Qi Hui handed the phone over, signaling him to answer it.

Shen Weiyue took the phone, and Counselor Chen Ruobing immediately started questioning him, "Shen Weiyue, why couldn't I get through to you?"

"I was just in the shower, I didn't have my phone. What's up?" Shen Weiyue looked at his phone; there were indeed a few missed calls.

"Come to my office tomorrow morning; there's something I need to discuss with you in person," Counselor Chen Ruobing said coldly.

"Tomorrow is the weekend. Is there something that can't be said over the phone, or can we talk about it during class next week?" Shen Weiyue questioned.

"No, it's very important and needs to be arranged in advance. Plus, we're on break next week, so it must be clarified beforehand," Counselor Chen Ruobing said seriously. "This is a task arranged by the department leadership. You must come at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Shen Weiyue hated hearing others use commanding words like 'must' or 'have to' with him. That rebellious streak in his bones flared up immediately, and he subconsciously asked back:

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, he knew he was in trouble; he had been careless with his words.

Sure enough, Counselor Chen Ruobing had stopped speaking on the other end, but her breathing was heavy and rapid; she was likely on the verge of exploding.

Looking back at the three dogs in the dorm, they were all staring at him, dumbfounded, shocked beyond belief.

Holy shit!

What did Shen Weiyue just say to the Counselor?

Are you teaching me how to do my job?
