Chapter 15 (2/2)

Jin Yangming, who was in the dormitory, smiled and said, “See, wasn’t I right? Hansheng seems to be a straightforward and honest man.”

Guo Shaoqiang also nodded. “Hansheng is so responsible. He must have been the kind of person who is used to doing housework.”

These boys had only just met each other and they had already decided to appoint Hansheng as their room leader, a suggestion mainly by Jin Yangming.

There was no real benefit to being the room leader. Jin Yangming was just hoping Hansheng would be the one in charge of cleaning.

Chen Hansheng washed the balcony for an entire hour and a half before the place became sparkly clean. It was only when he had re-entered the room that he found out that he had been designated room leader.

“Hansheng, we have unanimously voted to give you this position. We look forward to your leadership in bringing us to a better tomorrow,” said Jin Yangming proudly.

“Well, it’s not a fixed position. We can all take on the role in turns.”

It was Li Zhennan again. He was the only one who voiced his objection. But the other roommates didn’t want to do the labor work.

Chen Hansheng smiled, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, “No problem. I’ll be room leader.”

Who knew? Perhaps one day, the role may be beneficial to him.

…

Chen Hansheng was feeling hungry again. However, the cafeteria was already closed and there was no takeout nearby. He rubbed his chin and suddenly said, “It’s not even ten o’clock yet. Let’s go find a food stall and have supper.”

“What?”

A few of his roommates raised their heads one after another. Some of them were ready to go to bed.

“It’s too late, Hansheng,” said Dai Zhenyou.

“Too late for what? Supper? Hurry up and get changed,” said Chen Hansheng urgently.

Yang Shichao and Guo Shaoqiang were both tempted. They had been looking forward to university but registration day had been too unexciting. They felt as if something was missing.

Now that Chen Hansheng had suggested something fun, they immediately jumped on it.

How could they allow their university life to be the same as their high school life? They had to be wilder! Yang Shichao quickly agreed. “Hansheng is right. We can go anywhere and just get a drink.”

Guo Shaoqiang was already changing his clothes. The duo was basically ready to go as Hansheng was still trying to persuade the others.

Hansheng didn’t want to leave anyone out on their first outing together. Otherwise, it might affect the room dynamics in the future.

Dai Zhenyou was easy to deal with. As long as everyone else went, he would definitely go.

As for Jin Yangming, Hansheng had to step in before he could object. “Jianye is a city that doesn’t sleep. As a local, you shouldn’t go to bed so early, right?”

Jin Yangming thought about it and agreed. As a resident of the provincial capital city, he couldn’t be underestimated by this group of outsiders.

“Who’s sleeping? I was just thinking of asking my cousin to drive over and take us to bar 1912 for a trip.”

Jin Yangming was not the least bit embarrassed by his lie.

“Alright, alright. Let’s go.”

Then, Hansheng turned to Li Zhennan.

Li Zhennan had already changed into his pajamas. “Hansheng, I really don’t want to go. Firstly, I can’t drink. Secondly, I’m used to sleeping at this time. Wait, what are you doing?”

Before Li Zhennan could finish finding excuses, Chen Hansheng had climbed onto his bed. “Are you going or not? If not, I’ll take off my pants and hug you to sleep tonight.”

Li Zhennan would rather drink himself to death at the table than let Chen Hansheng succeed.

The others laughed but little did they know that Hansheng had his own way of persuading others without losing himself.

This was emotional intelligence.
