133: Chapter 133 Even if it's just to do me a favor

"Damn..."

"This little bastard Shen Weiyue, he doesn't actually think Vice Dean Zhang has taken a liking to him, does he?"

"How is his head filled with nothing but smut?"

Counselor Chen Ruobing thought of this possibility, and as a result, her gaze toward Shen Weiyue became filled with shock, and even a hint of admiration.

"This animal really dares to think anything."

Although Zhang Ting was the youngest Vice Dean in the School of Computer Science, she was already forty-seven or forty-eight. Even if she still retained her charm, there was no way she would take a fancy to a little bastard like him.

Furthermore, as a master's student mentored by Zhang Ting, Counselor Chen Ruobing knew her mentor's personality well, and even more so, her extraordinary background.

It was rumored that Zhang Ting's husband's family had deep connections; her father-in-law seemed to have been a high-ranking official before retiring, and her husband was currently the second-in-command of a certain city.

With such a prestigious background, for this little bastard Shen Weiyue to have such wild thoughts, he really didn't know how to spell the word "death."

"Shen Weiyue, I must warn you, you must be extremely respectful to Vice Dean Zhang. Do not be as cavalier as you are in front of me. You must remember this!"

Counselor Chen Ruobing's expression was very serious. Shen Weiyue's heart stirred, and he asked, "What is Dean Zhang's background?"

"That's none of your business. Just remember you cannot offend her. Besides, if she hadn't specifically requested you, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring you here."

Counselor Chen Ruobing tucked a strand of hair that was covering her eyes behind her ear and glared at him irritably.

*Heh, this woman is glaring at me. Who does she think she is, Liang Yuting?*

Shen Weiyue said indifferently, "So what if she has a background? I don't steal or rob. How can I bow and scrape to the powerful and noble, just to make myself unhappy..."

"Are you saying you're still not going to sign up?" Counselor Chen Ruobing was getting anxious.

"Yeah, there's no benefit, so why should I sign up?" Shen Weiyue pushed off the edge of the desk with his palms and sat right on top of it.

This casual action made Counselor Chen Ruobing furious. *This little bastard doesn't take me seriously at all!*

However, she accurately captured the keyword—benefit.

Was Shen Weiyue asking for a benefit?

Counselor Chen Ruobing suppressed her anger and said coldly, "You are a student. Participating in school activities is what a student should do. You're stalling and asking for benefits—is that right?"

"Whether it's right or not is another matter, as long as I'm happy." Shen Weiyue looked at her with a grin.

His eyes were very pure, without any lustful desire, but Counselor Chen Ruobing still couldn't hold his gaze for more than three seconds.

There was no other reason.

This guy's eyes were too beautiful, and his temperament was too charming.

The youthful, carefree spirit of a nineteen-year-old, combined with the profound indifference of a thirty-nine-year-old, was absolutely lethal.

Counselor Chen Ruobing looked away and advised, "Shen Weiyue, you don't know this, but Dean Zhang has a lot of influence. She must have her reasons for specifically requesting you. If you leave a good impression, it will be beneficial for future awards, evaluations, and even when doing projects or looking for a job later..."

"What kind of benefit is that? I don't really need these things. I can get whatever I want myself."

"Get it yourself? I... ha... You're too arrogant, aren't you? Who gave you the confidence?"

Counselor Chen Ruobing was practically laughing in anger. How could such an arrogant existence exist in the School of Computer Science?

"I don't need anyone to give it to me. I am my own confidence," Shen Weiyue said confidently.

Counselor Chen Ruobing looked at him, at a loss for words. She always felt that this student's words and actions were outrageous everywhere, wild beyond measure.

If you didn't know any better, you'd think his family owned a mine.

But his student file said that Shen Weiyue had a rural household registration, his parents were farmers, his social connections were simple, and his ancestors were farmers for eight generations; not a single person had ever been an official or a businessman.

Of course, arrogance could be a protective mask for inferiority.

Counselor Chen Ruobing adjusted her mindset and continued to persuade him in a tone that sounded as considerate as possible, "Aren't you going to look for a job in the future? Dean Zhang has extensive connections. If she just writes you a letter of recommendation, you won't have to worry about work..."

"These are all empty promises, just drawing pie in the sky. I'm not a three-year-old child." Shen Weiyue was dismissive.

*I've already been reborn, and I'm still looking for a job? Then wouldn't my rebirth be in vain?*

Seeing that he was unmoved by both soft and hard tactics, Counselor Chen Ruobing was a bit helpless. She paused, then said softly, "Then what do you want exactly? What will it take for you to participate? Can't you just do me a favor?"

"Fine, then I'll be direct. I can participate in this gala for you, but you have to give me a benefit, the tangible kind, not empty promises."

Shen Weiyue looked at her with burning eyes, making her face begin to heat up, and she averted her gaze.

*Oh my god, he wouldn't... he wouldn't be thinking of me...*

"W-what do you mean by a tangible benefit?"

Counselor Chen Ruobing's heart accelerated, secretly calculating that if Shen Weiyue dared to make any inappropriate suggestions, she would immediately give him two punches and turn him into a panda-eyed bear.

Seeing her tendency to yield, Shen Weiyue's lips curled up slightly, carrying a smile that looked like a lecherous smirk in Counselor Chen Ruobing's eyes, and he leaned in:

"I'll comply with you this time, but in the future, you cannot refuse me when I ask for leave or anything!"

Counselor Chen Ruobing's eyes narrowed. *Just this? I thought he was going to make some inappropriate request.*

Seeing this, Shen Weiyue thought she hadn't heard clearly and emphasized again, "From now on, no matter when I ask for leave, don't ask for the reason, and you cannot refuse. As long as you agree, I'll go sign up."

"Oh." She looked at him with a half-smile.

"Oh, what 'oh'? Do you agree or not? Give me a straight answer." Shen Weiyue frowned. *What kind of expression is this woman making?*

"Is that the only condition?" Counselor Chen Ruobing regained her confidence, puffing out her chest, which was large and round.

"Otherwise what?" Shen Weiyue suddenly shrank back. "You didn't think I was going to do something to you, did you?"

"Who knows? It's easy to draw a tiger's skin but hard to draw its bones; knowing a person's face doesn't mean knowing their heart. Some people are just gold and jade on the outside, but rotten on the inside," Counselor Chen Ruobing said faintly.

Shen Weiyue looked disgusted and said without hesitation, "Counselor Chen, get this straight. I'm only nineteen. The age gap is right there. I'm still a pure, innocent virgin; how could I have any inappropriate thoughts about you?"

Counselor Chen Ruobing's breath hitched. She stopped with her half-smile and gritted her teeth, saying, "Are you implying I'm old?"

"Whether you're old or not is beside the point. Even if you weren't old, it wouldn't be possible between us. I've always respected my teachers. Although you still retain your charm, I'm not the kind of person you think I am, I wouldn't..."

"Shut up! Shen Weiyue, stop talking nonsense!" Counselor Chen Ruobing was so angry at the term "still retain your charm" that her chest hurt. She stared at him and said word by word, "You'd better keep your word and go sign up immediately."

"You agree to my condition?" Shen Weiyue was overjoyed.

"I! Agree!" Counselor Chen Ruobing felt like her breast nodules were about to be angered out; a few more words and they might swell from a D-cup to an E-cup.

"Alright then, I'll go sign up right away. My reputation is excellent and widely acclaimed; you can rest assured." Shen Weiyue walked out of the office with a light step, subconsciously putting his hands behind his back.

Counselor Chen Ruobing was speechless watching his old-fashioned demeanor. Had this guy read too many novels about officialdom? Did he really think he was a leader?

*Come to think of it, there's a novel about power and sex in officialdom on Dian Dian that's actually pretty good...*

"Do you know where to sign up?" she called out from behind.

"I know, the Cultural and Entertainment Department, right? I'm going right now." Shen Weiyue didn't even look back and soon disappeared from sight.

After he left, Counselor Chen Ruobing sat blankly in her seat and couldn't help but take out a makeup mirror from her bag.

She looked carefully; no wrinkles, still young.

She hummed unhappily.

*So what if I'm twenty-seven?*

*A woman three years older is like holding a gold brick; a woman thirty years older gives you an empire!*
