Chapter 34 (2/2)
Back at the stationery store, Feng Jihua was smiling as if a flower had bloomed on his face as he counted the twenty-five pieces of one-hundred-yuan notes on his counter.
“I really didn’t expect to get my money back. I was so close to giving up on it.”
Feng Jihua was about to sweep the money into his cash register when Chen Hansheng pressed down on the stacks with his lighter.
“Student, what are you doing?” asked Feng Jihua as he looked up at Chen Hansheng.
“Nothing much. I’m just reminding Mr. Feng that this is my money.” Chen Hansheng laughed.
“What are you talking about? Look, here. You can take five hundred yuan as a bonus, but taking all of it would be quite ridiculous, wouldn’t it?” Feng Jihua’s face started to turn darker.
They had just established an amicable relationship but it broke apart just as quickly due to money. Unfortunately for Feng Jihua, Chen Hansheng had no intentions to be reasonable at the moment.
Zhu Chenglong also sneered. “Mr. Feng, have you forgotten what you said just now? You said that the money will go to whoever asks for the debt back.”
“What…”
How was Feng Jihua expected to know that Chen Hansheng would be able to get the money back from Zhou Deshun? He pushed up his glasses and smiled sheepishly. “It was just a passing comment.”
“You can say whatever you want, but I took it seriously.”
Chen Hansheng put the 2,500 yuan into his pocket and lit a cigarette in his mouth. Feng Jihua gulped, but there was nothing he could do.
“Hold on. Deputy Officer Zhou, didn’t you get a five-hundred-yuan sponsorship just now?”
Zuo Xiaoli and Zhou Xiao had intended to leave quietly. Who would have thought that Chen Hansheng was so cunning and tenacious that he was not willing to let the duo go? Especially not after he had realized that the two had schemed against him.
“How about this? I’ll sponsor 501 yuan for the new student party, just to pressure Deputy Officer Zhou.” Chen Hansheng took out five one-hundred-yuan notes and borrowed a one yuan coin from Li Zhennan before handing them to Qi Wei.
Qi Wei was dumbfounded. She did not know whether to accept or reject the money.
“What? Is it not enough?” asked Chen Hansheng with a smile.
Qi Wei gritted her teeth and pretended not to see the despair in Zuo Xiaoli’s eyes. She directly accepted the 501 yuan.
“Yes!” Guo Shaoqiang shouted loudly, and the surrounding freshmen began to cheer. They didn’t know why exactly, but they felt that this was a victory to be celebrated by everyone.
As if it wasn’t chaotic enough, Yang Shichao shouted at the backs of Zuo Xiaoli and Zhou Xiao, “Didn’t we agree that Zhou Xiao would step down and hand over the deputy officer role to Chen Hansheng? Why are you guys so silent now?”
“Forget it. He won’t give it up,” said Chen Hansheng indifferently.
Although Zhou Xiao had sworn to do so in front of so many people, his thick skin and support from Zuo Xiaoli would not allow him to easily live up to his word.
“Let’s drink tonight, my treat!”
Chen Hansheng called all the students present who had come to the business center to support him. He had just shown them the versatility of his abilities as the class president of Public Administration Class 2.
Yang Shichao and the others were drinking and cursing at the same time, all saying that Zhou Xiao was shameless and a sore loser. Zhu Chenglong even specifically asked, “How do we get Zhou Xiao to quit the outreach section obediently?”
Chen Hansheng was drinking at the time and did not think too deeply about it. He simply answered, “He would have to fall so hard to the ground that he could no longer pick himself back up. The impact of this incident in the afternoon is not enough.”
Zhu Chenglong looked at Chen Hansheng and continued drinking without saying anything.
In the evening, Chen Hansheng was playing cards with someone when Guo Shaoqiang suddenly ran in with panic and said, “Not good. That son of a b*tch Zhu Chenglong beat up Zhou Xiao.”
