Chapter 1495 A Part-time Job
“Why are you smirking?”
“Because I’m happy.” Chen Yang smiled and took Ye Xiaomu’s hand. “I’ll send you back to the dormitory.”
“Okay.” Ye Xiaomu nodded slightly.
It seemed that she was in a good mood and followed Chen Yang forward happily.
When they were about to arrive at the dormitory-
“I don’t want to stay in the Student Union any longer,” said Ye Xiaomu.
Chen Yang said, “I agree.”
“Aren’t you going to ask why?” she asked.
“It’s because of me, of course,” Chen Yang said arrogantly. “Alas, I’m just so charming.”
“You’re so pretentious,” Ye Xiaomu said. “You’re one of the reasons, and I get so busy in the Student Union. I want to focus on my studies.”
For some reason, they walked very slowly and arrived at the door of the dormitory before they knew it.
“Kiss me.”
Chen Yang moved closer to Ye Xiaomu with a smile.
Swoos.h.!.+
Ye Xiaomu’s face suddenly turned red. There were so many people coming and going, so she was embarra.s.sed.
“Just go now. I’m going back. I’ll call you later.”
Ye Xiaomu ran away in panic.
Chen Yang rubbed his chin and left with a smile.
In his heart, the relations.h.i.+p between him and Ye Xiaomu had been confirmed. All he needed was an opportunity to confess his love to her.
“It seems that I need to think about it.”
On the way back, Chen Yang pondered.
What he didn’t know was that danger was slowly approaching.
Head w.a.n.g had been teaching at Westpam University for 16 years.
His wife was a businesswoman. Their family was well-off.
At this moment, a very important company called her, but in the end, it was Head w.a.n.g who answered the phone.
After a mental struggle, Head w.a.n.g agreed to the other party’s request.
The next day.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Mengmeng and her cla.s.smates were having PE cla.s.s.
Many students were playing volleyball, and there were many onlookers. Some were strolling around.
Chen Yang and his roommates were smoking in the shade of a tree.
All of a sudden, his shoulder was heavily patted.
“Who is it?”
Chen Yang immediately turned around. When he saw who it was, his eyes narrowed.
“It’s Dong Da!
“He’s actually come to me here.”
There were still traces of being beaten on Dong Da’s face.
“What do you want?”
One of Chen Yang’s roommates questioned.
“Chen Yang, let’s go to the teaching building. Head w.a.n.g is waiting for you there.”
Dong Da sneered.
“Do you think I’ll go just because you say so? Do you know where the teaching building is?” Chen Yang snorted.
He thought that perhaps there was an ambush waiting for him.
“Boy, how dare you disobey me? Do you know what price you’ll pay? I can make you drop out of school. And you guys, what are you staring at? Do you also want to be expelled? Do you want to hit me? Come on, hit me.”
When Chen Yang noticed Dong Da’s arrogant att.i.tude, his heart gradually sank.
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare to beat you up?”
An impulsive roommate of Chen Yang’s wanted to kick Dong Da when he heard that.
“Don’t move!”
Chen Yang immediately stopped him and said, “Take me to the teaching building.”
“Huh.”
Dong Da sneered and strode forward.
“He’s really going in the direction of the teaching building.”
Seeing this, Chen Yang panicked for some reason.
He and Ye Xiaomu had a chat on the phone last night.
Dong Da came from a well-off family. It was said that when he was a freshman, he often drove a supercar for a ride in the first half of the semester and was very generous. When he was a soph.o.m.ore, he seemed to have had enough fun and restrained himself a lot. Since Ye Xiaomu joined the Student Union, he had begun to pursue her.
Chen Yang and Ye Xiaomu talked for an hour, and he got jealous. He said that he would buy a luxury car sooner or later and take her for a ride.
Chen Yang wasn’t too worried after understanding the situation, but now his heart sank.
“But it shouldn’t be a big deal. I’ll take it if it’s just a demerit.”
Chen Yang was mentally prepared. When he arrived at the entrance of the teaching building, he waved his hand and asked his roommates to go back first.
He and Dong Da went all the way to Head w.a.n.g’s office, where there were three people.
In addition to Head w.a.n.g, there was a middle-aged man in casual clothes, who was President Li of Austron Company. He was also in charge of this matter, and the other person was Dong Da’s mother.
Dong Da walked into the room and said, “This is the one.”
“Okay.”
Head w.a.n.g nodded, looked at Chen Yang, and said with a kind smile, “It’s normal for you, as young students, to have some disputes, but you need to deal with it rationally. I want to know why you hit him last night.”
“I…” Chen Yang hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. “Because he was rude to my girlfriend.”
“How was I rude to her?” Dong Da asked with a puzzled look on his face, “Chen, don’t talk nonsense. The truth is like this. Ye Xiaomu is a new member of our Student Union. Many students were at our party yesterday. I’ve never said anything rude. Everyone who was there can prove it. He hit me on purpose when he saw that I was trying to escort Ye Xiaomu back to school.”
“You know very well whether it’s true or not,” Chen Yang said.
President Li and Mrs. Dong seemed to be in no mood to talk.
Head w.a.n.g thought for a moment and said, “Because of some emotional problems, you misunderstood him, and then you took action on impulse, right?”
“Yes, he was rude first. I couldn’t help fighting back.”
“Don’t be afraid, Chen. I’m here to uphold justice and make things right,” Head w.a.n.g said. “Can you tell me how you started the fight?”
Chen Yang was still too young.
He thought that Head w.a.n.g would help him, so he said, “I received a call from my girlfriend. He was very rude to her, so I went to pick up my girlfriend with my friends. When I saw him pulling her, I kicked him directly and then fought him. My lips are still bruised.”
“Chen, your kick has left severe damage on Dong’s kidney.” Head w.a.n.g said, “This is too serious. It’s misconduct to start a fight, and it’s forbidden. As a cla.s.s representative, you didn’t set a good example. Instead, you gathered your friends to beat others up, which has a bad impact on the school.”
Finally, Head w.a.n.g clicked on his mobile phone and ended the recording. His tone gradually became unfriendly.
“Therefore, the school has decided to expel you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, President Li took out a doc.u.ment and said, “And you have to pay for Dong Da’s medical expenses, mental damage, and so on. It will be a total of 107 thousand dollars. This is the doc.u.ment. You can take it back and read it. If you don’t carry the compensation out, we’ll press charges.”
Rumble!
Chen Yang was stunned.
He didn’t know what to do.
He looked around in a panic and felt that the smile on Dong Da’s face was very hateful.
All of a sudden, a sentence flashed across his mind, “You can ask Sister Meng for help when you need it.”
This was what Li Muen had said.
At this time, he had no choice but to say, “I, I need to make a phone call.”
“Go ahead. I should have informed your parents about this,” Head w.a.n.g said coldly.
“h.e.l.lo, Sister Meng, I’m in Head w.a.n.g’s office. I may be expelled. I don’t know what to do,” Chen Yang said numbly.
He had never experienced serious occasions before, so it was inevitable that his mind would go blank when he encountered such a thing.
However, Mengmeng’s answer rea.s.sured him a lot.
“I see. Just wait there.”
After that, she hung up the phone.
“You didn’t inform your parents?” Head w.a.n.g frowned.
“No. I…”
“Forget it. I’ll call them myself.” Head w.a.n.g sighed and picked up the landline.
“Please don’t, Head w.a.n.g. Don’t inform my parents yet.” Chen Yang was a little anxious.
If his parents heard this news, they would definitely be devastated.
“Can you handle it without informing them?”
“I can.”
“Haha, how are you going to handle it?” Head w.a.n.g shook his head slightly and dialed a number. “h.e.l.lo, is it Chen Yang’s mother? I’m Head w.a.n.g of Westpam University. I’m sorry to inform you that your son has been expelled from school because of a fight, and he needs to pay more than 100,000 dollars for medical expenses as compensation. Please come to the school, or Chen Yang will be sued.”
“Head w.a.n.g, you…”
Rumble!
It was like a bolt from the blue, striking Chen Yang’s heart.
His eyes were slightly red. He knew that his mother must be feeling terrible at home.
Buzz!
His phone buzzed, but he didn’t pick it up. He really didn’t want to tell his mother the news.
Chen Yang had never imagined that he would get into such big trouble.
“Chen, your phone is ringing.” Dong Da smiled triumphantly and said, “It should be your mother. Pick it up now. You’ll have to deal with it sooner or later.”
“You!”
Chen Yang looked at Dong Da with hatred.
“I advise you to calm down,” President Li said lightly. “The matter can still be dealt with now. If you get impulsive, the consequences may be more serious, and you may be imprisoned.”
As he spoke, he thought to himself. “He’s really a young man who hasn’t seen much of the world. He’s scared out of his wits now.”
He even found it a little funny when he recalled that he had been acting like Chen Yang when he was young before.
“Well, now that he has offended Dong Da, who is someone he can’t afford to mess with, it will be a lesson for him that he needs to pay more than 100,000 dollars and drop out of school.”
“I still have something to do.”
Mrs. Dong finally spoke up. She glanced at the Patek Philippe watch and got up to leave.
Right at this moment, the office door was pushed open directly, and no one knocked on it.
Seeing two girls coming in, Head w.a.n.g frowned and asked, “Who are you? Which cla.s.s are you from? Why didn’t you knock on the door?”
“Huh.”
Mengmeng snorted. Seeing that Chen Yang’s eyes were red, she and Yue Xiaonao sat directly on the sofa on the side.
Dong Da’s eyes were fixed, and his mother was also a little confused. President Li just watched silently.
Head w.a.n.g got a little angry. “Who are you?”
“Sister Meng, Sister Nao, I, I’ve been expelled,” Chen Yang said weakly. “He called my mom.”
“Mengmeng, Chen has been bullied. After all, he is our friend,” Yue Xiaonao said casually. “Chen, you look so upset. Wipe your eyes now. Sister Meng is going to stand up for you. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry.”
“What?”
Chen Yang was stunned and didn’t quite understand.
Head w.a.n.g’s face darkened. “What are you doing?”
“Silence!”
Yue Xiaonao glared at him.
Head w.a.n.g felt inexplicably scared and stopped talking.
At this time, Mengmeng also made a move. She raised her head slightly, looked at Head w.a.n.g, and said, “Call the princ.i.p.al and ask him to come over.”
“The princ.i.p.al is not at school. Who are you?” Head w.a.n.g began to hesitate.
“Could it be that these girls have some sort of background?”
“Fine. If you don’t call him, I will.”
Mengmeng took out her mobile phone. “h.e.l.lo? Are you familiar with the principle of Westpam University? Ask him to come to Head w.a.n.g’s office.”
“You’re talking big.”
Head w.a.n.g laughed at once.
If her tone was polite and she asked the one on the line to do things for her, he would believe that she was indeed capable. Her tone was calm as if she was talking to her subordinates, so Head w.a.n.g didn’t believe that she had the ability to handle this matter.
“I heard that you are very powerful.”
Mengmeng then looked at Dong Da and the other two and asked, “Which company are you from?”
“Haha, I’m Li Cai from Austron Company,” President Li said with a smile.
“I see.”
Mengmeng made another phone call and said, “h.e.l.lo? Uncle Feng, does our family have a branch in West Capital? We do, then ask the person in charge to come to my school. Yeah. I have a friend here, and he got bullied. The other party has a wide network of contacts and is from Austron Company. How terrifying, hahaha… What would you come here? You’re not as powerful as me now. Okay. Hurry up and inform them.”
Mengmeng talked with a smile on her face. She looked quite casual. After all, Zhao Feng had watched her grow up.
After the two phone calls, Mengmeng said, “It’s settled. Let’s wait for a while. I will help you.”
As she spoke, she patted Chen Yang on the shoulder.
“Thank you, Sister Meng.”
Chen Yang nodded, his heart filled with grat.i.tude.
Mengmeng was indeed worthy of being his benefactor.
Buzz!
Chen Yang’s phone continued to buzz.
“Pick it up now,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“Okay.”
Chen Yang was ready to risk everything. He picked up the phone and said with a calm tone, “Mom, what’s wrong? You’ve been calling all the time. I’m in cla.s.s. Huh? Did I get expelled? What are you talking about? Head w.a.n.g? Bah! It’s a scam call. The one who called you was just a scammer. Don’t believe whatever they said. I’m doing fine at school.”
Chen Yang calmed down and felt much better after venting his anger. He smiled and said, “Mom, I’m still in cla.s.s. I’m not allowed to make a phone call. I’ll hang up now.”
He hung up the phone.
Head w.a.n.g’s face darkened.
Dong Da said with unfriendly eyes, “I’d love to see what tricks you can play!”
His mother sat back down.
President Li was sitting next to her with his left leg on his right leg, looking relaxed.
“It seems that there are two more people on the expelling list.”
Head w.a.n.g sneered.
It didn’t take long for them to wait.
Twenty minutes later, the princ.i.p.al rushed in, sweating profusely.
“Mr. Xu?” Head w.a.n.g was slightly shocked.
However, the princ.i.p.al, Mr. Xu, ignored him. He smiled gently and said, “May I ask which one of you is Ms. Zhang?”
Mengmeng’s face darkened. “I am only a student.”
“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo.”
He didn’t dare to treat her as an ordinary student.
“Do you see what’s going on here?”
Mengmeng gestured to the front and said, “He wants to expel a student just because of a trivial matter. Head w.a.n.g has such a high position. These people are from Austron Company. I don’t believe that he doesn’t have anything to do with them. I wonder how many gifts Head w.a.n.g has received to make him work so hard for them.”
“That’s not true!”
Head w.a.n.g immediately got up to defend himself.
At this moment, Dong Da was quite dumbfounded. Mrs. Dong’s eyes were full of shock, and President Li could not sit still.
“That girl can really get the princ.i.p.al here. Who is she?”
“Sit down!”
The princ.i.p.al suddenly shouted.
Head w.a.n.g was so scared that he trembled and sat back down.
“About this matter…” Mr. Xu said after some consideration.
“Investigate them,” Mengmeng merely said.
“Shall I ask my men to do it?”
“No. I’ll ask someone to investigate them.” Mengmeng made another phone call and said, “Mr. Ma, have your men check if Head w.a.n.g of Westpam University has any misconduct. I need it in detail.”
Ten minutes later.
Beep!
Mengmeng received an email, in which Mr. Ma told her about Head w.a.n.g’s deeds in detail.
Mengmeng looked at Head w.a.n.g with a strange look and said, “You’re clean. It’s just that your wife has used her connections to engage in some of the school’s cooperation. That’s none of my business. Mr. Xu, how do you want to deal with him?”
While speaking, Mengmeng handed over her mobile phone.
The princ.i.p.al read the email and said, “He shall be dismissed.”
Clatter!
Head w.a.n.g broke out in a cold sweat and did not even dare to speak.
Dong Da and the other two were astounded, including Chen Yang.
He felt dazzled.
“Oh my G.o.d, how amazing Mengmeng’s background is!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
A young man pushed the door open and entered.
When President Li saw the young man, his face changed greatly. He immediately got up and said respectfully, “h.e.l.lo, Boss Liu.”
However, the young man ignored him.
With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said respectfully, “Greetings, Eldest Lady.”
Clack!
President Li staggered and collapsed on the sofa. He felt overwhelmed. “What’s going on?”
The branch company of the Liu Group was very powerful in West Capital and was a force that Austron Company needed to look up to. It was unimaginable that the legendary Boss Liu would come here in person.
“Well…”
Seeing that no one spoke, Mengmeng said hesitantly, “What happened exactly?”
“They, they were asking for compensation. They want me to compensate him with 107 thousand bucks,” Chen Yang said, feeling uneasy.
“I see. Make them compensate with the same amount instead. I’m very similar to my dad. We’re both the most reasonable,” Mengmeng said seriously.
Hearing this, Yue Xiaonao covered her forehead and thought. “Is it okay that you’re lying through your teeth?”
“Austron Company is small in scale. I can terminate their cooperation with other companies with just an order. When that happens, it will cause some losses. It is estimated that their financial resources will shrink by 40%. It will take about seven days for the company to go bankrupt,” Boss Liu said.
“What do you think?” Mengmeng asked Chen Yang.
“You’re asking for my opinion?”
Chen Yang fell into deep thought and said, “I think we should be lenient wherever it is possible. Maybe we should be generous. Why don’t we just terminate their cooperation?”
“Hahaha.”
Seeing that he was so cautious, Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao both laughed.
The two of them got up and left.
“Wait for me.”
Chen Yang was stunned at first, and then he followed them out.
President Li and the other two were left with pale faces.
Dong Da has been beaten again.
When he got home, he was beaten for a long time and was really hospitalized.
He had vowed to take revenge, but in the end, he was the one who was doomed.
Chen Yang finally came to realize how powerful the girls were.
“You’re more powerful than I imagined. That’s incredible.
“Queen bees, you are my role models. You are my saviors, my benefactors.
“From now on, I will follow your lead.
“I’ll do anything you instruct me to do.
“I…”
“Just get lost. Don’t waste our time,” Yue Xiaonao said impatiently.
“Well, okay.”
Chen Yang quickly ran away.
“He’s really funny!” Yue Xiaonao snorted.
“He’s our partner,” Mengmeng said, “and we can’t have him bullied.”
“That’s right.” Yue Xiaonao nodded. “That guy is really detestable. It was just a fight. He could’ve just challenged Chen Yang after getting defeated. But still, he asked his parents to expel Chen Yang. He’s not a man at all. I really can’t stand it.”
“Calm down, calm down. You’re talking too loud. Can’t you see that everyone is looking at you?” Mengmeng lowered her voice.
It was just the break time. There were a lot of people on the road since they didn’t have cla.s.ses for the rest of the day.
Suddenly, a senior saw the two girls and walked over with a smile on his face.
“Zhang Yumeng, I’ve been paying attention to you for many days. I wish to talk to you. I wonder if we can get to know each other and become friends.”
Hearing this, Mengmeng smiled sweetly and said, “Okay. I also feel like talking to someone.”
“Terrific. Shall we go somewhere to have coffee and high tea?”
“Not now. Why don’t we meet by the river in the evening…” Mengmeng said and winked at him. After that, she turned around and left with Yue Xiaonao.
The man stayed in the same spot in a daze. After dinner, he ran to the riverside and waited for a whole night.
Two more days pa.s.sed.
It was Friday, Mengmeng didn’t have cla.s.ses in the afternoon, and she had two and a half days of rest.
In Mengmeng’s dorm room.
Zheng Dan climbed onto the bed and lay down lazily. “Hmm, I have to have a good rest. I’ll need to work at Versace for a day tomorrow.”
“What will you do there?” Yue Xiaonao asked curiously.
“I’m going to help my sister manage the s.h.i.+ft and make some extra money.” Zheng Dan said, “I’ll work as a shopping guide in Versace. That store is filled with luxury goods.”
While they were talking, Zheng Dan looked curious. “Those who can go there to buy things must be rich.”
“Well, I guess so,” Yue Xiaonao said.
She didn’t think much about it. Versace indeed sold luxury goods.
But for her and Mengmeng, it didn’t matter how much the goods cost. What mattered was whether they looked nice.
Zheng Dan didn’t know the brands of many of Mengmeng’s clothes because those were all high-end brands that were only purchased by the minority. They were relatively fas.h.i.+onable, but they were not so famous. Each piece of her clothes was probably worth a thousand bucks.
Mengmeng also had some cute and lively clothes from rather famous brands.
Lv Zihan’s mouth moved when she heard their conversation. She thought to herself. “Mengmeng and Sister Nao are super-rich.”
“Among us, Zihan has nice skin although she’s not so wealthy. Mengmeng and Sister Nao, you look even better. Your skin is delicate. It seems that I’m the only one who is diligent with rough hands.” Zheng Dan wailed, “This is not fair!”
“Are you sure you’re diligent with rough hands?” Mengmeng asked.
“To be exact, my hands are used to make extra money. Haha, it’s the same anyway. I worked for some days after graduating from high school,” Zheng Dan said.
“Holy cow, that’s amazing,” Mengmeng said in surprise. “What kind of job was it?”
“I was required to use a secret skill to tempt businessmen when wearing black silk stockings.” Zheng Dan made a rather attractive pose while she spoke.
“What?” Mengmeng was stunned at once.
Yue Xiaonao grinned and said, “Oh my G.o.d, you are the queen bee.”
“I’m just kidding. I worked as my uncle’s attendant.” Zheng Dan lay back down and said, “He ran a club. I was asked to supervise others.”
“I see.” Lv Zihan nodded and said, “I was terrified by what you said.”
“Why would you believe everything I say?” Zheng Dan said with a smile, “Anyway, I’ll make more money and then buy whatever I want.”
“Well…”
Mengmeng hesitated for a moment.
They had been roommates for so long. She found that Lv Zihan and Zheng Dan were nice. It would not be a big deal for her to help them pay for their expenses.
However, Mengmeng subconsciously felt that she shouldn’t have things change between them. After all, they would still be roommates for several years.
Girls were different from boys. Chen Yang was rough but meticulous. If Mengmeng offered Zheng Dan or Lv Zihan financial help, they might change.
After thinking about it, Mengmeng gave up the idea. There was still a long way to go, and she would think about it later.
She said casually, “Now that we’re talking about this, I’ve never worked before.”
“You two are from rich families,” said Zheng Dan. “I like spending money. I know what my dream is.”
“What is it?”
“Earning money while lying down.” After saying that, Zheng Dan paused and continued, “Don’t get me wrong. I won’t get a sugar daddy. I just want to meet a reliable man. I get to lie at home watching TV and go shopping when I have nothing to do. I think I think Chen Yang is nice. He’s ambitious and hard-working.”
“You may have misjudged him,” Yue Xiaonao said casually.
“Alas, it’s a pity that the nice guy has been taken. He has been getting closer to the little sheep of the Sci-Tech University these days.” Zheng Dan looked gossipy. “Maybe they have confirmed their relations.h.i.+p. Zihan, it seems that he doesn’t want to two-time you anymore.”
“It’s not like that. Representative… Representative Chen is a decent guy,” Lv Zihan said.
“A decent guy? He was absolutely coveting you at the beginning. If I were you, I would have made him fall in love with me long ago.”
“I’m really impressed by you,” Mengmeng muttered.
“Well, I need to check the sales information. Just in case. I need to be a qualified shopping guide.” Zheng Dan took out her mobile phone and began to read the internal group’s information.
“Xiaonao, we have never worked before. Why don’t we give it a try?” Mengmeng asked eagerly.
It didn’t matter whether she worked or not. She just wanted to take a picture and show it to Zhang Han.
“Not for me. I’m lazy. If you want to do it, just go. I can go visit your store,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“Forget it if you don’t want to.” Mengmeng snorted.
“Mengmeng, are you going?” Zheng Dan suddenly sat up and said with great interest, “Well, let’s work together. I’m a little scared without an acquaintance working with me, to tell the truth.”
“Uh, can I get hired at will without any training?” Mengmeng was stunned.
“You have me as your introducer. Besides, with your appearance, the manager will be eager to hire you. Perhaps I should ask her about it first,” Zheng Dan said.
“Okay.” Mengmeng nodded.
Zheng Dan typed on her phone. “I’ll send a photo of you. I guarantee that she’ll agree. Now, it’s an era where beauty is the most important thing. You see, she agreed directly. She said that we would go together.”
“Okay.”
“She asked about what size you wear so that she can prepare workwear for us,” Zheng Dan said.
After that, Zheng Dan’s interest was piqued again.
“I heard from my sister that this field is also very complicated. Generally speaking, people who work part-time are easy to be bullied. But we will be treated nicely. My sister has a good relations.h.i.+p with the manager, who will take care of us. The salary of the part-time job is 40 bucks a day. We’ll need to do a lot of work, such as sales, sorting out the goods, transporting, and so on. Mengmeng, can you handle hard work? If you can’t, I can do more work,” Zheng Dan said.
“I can do it. I’m quite energetic,” Mengmeng said. “I’m just going to have some fun. I want to take a picture of me working and show it to my dad to tell him that his girl is also working part-time. I’d love to see what he will say. Hee hee.”
“He’ll just say that he can give you the money directly. What else will he say?” Yue Xiaonao said.
“He won’t say that. He’s not like Uncle Li Kai.” Mengmeng said, “Muen’s dad is quite interesting. He often gives her money.”
