"What’s going on here?"
After Dean Zhao arrived, he first swept his gaze around.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, he instinctively looked toward Chairman Niu.
"It’s nothing, nothing at all."
Chairman Niu hastily explained.
Putting on an act in front of Lin Feng and his friends was one thing.
But trying to act tough in front of the dean was no different from asking for death.
"Heh heh..."
’There really is always a bigger fish,’
Lin Feng clicked his tongue and sighed, but didn’t say anything more.
After all, he had only come to resolve this matter.
The sooner it was resolved, the better.
With Chairman Niu being led away, the others naturally had to disperse as well.
"Qiniang?"
But as Dean Zhao scanned the crowd,
his gaze landed on Yang Qiniang.
"Uncle Zhao."
Yang Qiniang, seeing that Dean Zhao had spotted him,
could only greet him.
This "Uncle Zhao," as Yang Qiniang called him,
was not only the dean of their department but also held the concurrent post of the university’s vice-principal.
His status at the university was quite high.
You could say that, aside from the principal, he held the highest position!
"Qiniang..."
"Are you here for the welcoming party?"
Dean Zhao didn’t immediately leave with Chairman Niu.
Instead, he started a conversation with Yang Qiniang.
"Yes, Uncle Zhao. I’m here with Brother Feng for the party."
Yang Qiniang felt a little awkward.
Yang Tianming had told him to keep a low profile at school.
But after this incident, it would probably be impossible to stay low-key in class.
"Brother Feng?"
Dean Zhao glanced over, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Then his attention landed on Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng?"
Dean Zhao looked a little surprised.
After all, Lin Feng had caused so much trouble at school that it would have been difficult for the leadership not to notice him. However, Dean Zhao’s attitude seemed quite friendly.
Lin Feng nodded and greeted him, "Hello, Dean Zhao."
"You’re truly a fine, upstanding young man."
Dean Zhao said with a smile, "I have some business to attend to, so I won’t keep you."
"When you have time, come by my office for tea with Qiniang."
"The semester has started, and I haven’t had a chance to have a good chat with you young people yet, heh heh."
As expected of someone at the dean’s level.
His words were considerate of both Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang.
"Okay, take care, Uncle Zhao."
Yang Qiniang said quickly.
Lin Feng also smiled and said, "Take care, Dean Zhao."
Dean Zhao nodded, then glanced at Chairman Niu.
"Let’s go. Are you waiting for a personal invitation?"
"It’s not that I’m picking on you, but don’t you know what’s happening tonight?"
"And you still ran off to drink?"
"It looks to me like you really don’t want to be chairman anymore."
Dean Zhao, who had just been extremely polite to Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang,
was now thoroughly scolding Chairman Niu as they left.
He even said things like, "You don’t want to be chairman anymore."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Chairman Niu, who had been so arrogant just moments before,
was now like a small child who had done something wrong.
Hearing Dean Zhao’s scolding,
he didn’t dare to say a single word in rebuttal.
He obediently followed him away.
Chairman Niu arrived.
Chairman Niu left.
Chairman Niu didn’t even dare to say an extra word.
For some reason,
Lin Feng really wanted to laugh as he watched Chairman Niu’s retreating back.
But he held it in and turned to look at Zou Yong.
"Class Monitor, going back to bed?"
Zou Yong stared at Lin Feng, seemingly unable to accept this reality.
Chairman Niu, who was such a big shot in his eyes,
had just run off without daring to say a word?
’So what am I supposed to do?’
He had lost face in front of so many people.
And now Lin Feng was calling him out.
Zou Yong knew that if he stayed any longer, he would only lose even more face.
He could only turn and leave silently with his tail between his legs.
"The ’school rules’ have left."
"Are you guys still planning to fight for it?"
After Zou Yong left, Lin Feng turned to look at the people who had tried to snatch the seats earlier.
The group that had been so overbearing before, constantly talking about "school rules,"
was now speechless.
There are some things you just have to admit.
Circumstances are more powerful than people.
After Chairman Niu was led away by Dean Zhao,
this group realized
that they had completely lost the confidence to fight Lin Feng’s group for the seats.
Besides, there was no way Lin Feng’s group would give in.
Didn’t they see that Lin Feng hadn’t even given Chairman Niu any face?
What was the point of them staying here any longer?
The party was about to start.
There was no use staying here.
It would only be a waste of time.
"Hmph! Don’t get too smug!"
"Next time..."
The class monitor of the opposing group wanted to say something more.
At the very least, he wanted to get in a few harsh words to avoid losing too much face.
But Lin Feng cut him off directly.
"Forget next time. Let’s settle it now."
"Go ahead, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."
"Why don’t you go call a couple more chairmen over?"
The other guy wanted to put on a tough act, but what obligation did Lin Feng have to play along?
’Call another chairman over? It would be useless. Although Chairman Niu was only a vice-chairman, he was still a chairman of the university’s student council. Even Chairman Niu couldn’t handle Lin Feng. It wouldn’t matter if they got someone else.’
’Unless it was someone at the dean’s level. But a dean-level figure... How could someone like that listen to him? Especially over such a trivial matter.’
And so, he was silenced.
He stared at Lin Feng.
In the end, he said nothing at all.
With a cold snort, he turned and left.
As for the people he had brought with him, they exchanged glances and also chose to leave.
There was nothing left for them to do by staying.
Besides, after this incident,
they probably weren’t in the mood to watch the party anymore.
After that group left,
Song Yaqi visibly relaxed.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you for this, Lin Feng."
Song Yaqi said to Lin Feng, sounding slightly apologetic.
No matter what, she was the one who had called Lin Feng over.
"It’s nothing. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now."
"Our friends are waiting for me and Brother Nian."
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively.
He then said a word to Jiang Chao and Cao Ming.
"Old Jiang, Old Cao."
"If that group comes back, give me a call."
Jiang Chao and Cao Ming both nodded.
’So this is the benefit of having a big-shot roommate? He’s got the vice-principal and a dean backing him up. What’s a student council chairman compared to that? Anyone wants to act tough? They’ll have to ask my roommate for permission first.’
"Enjoy the show, everyone. And happy holidays in advance."
With that, Lin Feng left.
He left behind his classmates, whose minds were still reeling.
"I never expected Lin Feng to be so powerful. He doesn’t even care about the student council chairman."
"Duh, he’s a rich second-generation kid, after all."
"A university student council chairman is nothing once they leave school."
"They can only show off in front of us."
"Didn’t you see that even the dean was greeting Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang just now?"
"None of that is important, okay?"
"Haven’t you guys noticed? The way Lin Feng usually acts around us, you can’t tell he’s a rich kid at all."
"Oh yeah, I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it."
"Usually, Lin Feng is just a bit cold and aloof, but at least he’s not like that guy Zou Yong."
"Damn it, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone try to act tough in front of their own classmates."
It was clear that everyone was extremely dissatisfied with Zou Yong because of what happened today.
"It’s one thing that he never gets involved normally, but at a critical moment, he turns around and helps outsiders bully his own people?"
"And we’re letting a guy like that continue to be class monitor?"
"It’s a complete joke."
"I heard he joined the student council a while ago. That must be why."
"Definitely. Didn’t you hear him just now?"
"That guy Zou Yong is so shameless, all for a department head position!"
"Fuck! Why did I vote for a guy like that to be class monitor? It’s so fucking disgusting."
