Chapter 50: The Petty Tricks of a Villain

Chen Fan had only met Tian Yuan once before.

He could not quite figure out why this guy had come looking for him.

With a bright smile, Tian Yuan spoke up, "There is something I would like to discuss with you."

"First, let me ask you: are you interested in joining the Student Union?"

"The Student Union?"

Chen Fan was somewhat puzzled. Did this guy run over here late at night just to invite him to join the Student Union?

Their relationship surely wasn't close enough for that, was it?

"You've just entered university, so you probably don't understand yet."

"There are quite a few benefits to joining the Student Union in college."

"Once you're in the Student Union, not only can you conduct dorm inspections and grade other students, but you'll also enjoy priority consideration when it comes to student excellence awards, scholarship evaluations, and party membership selections at the end of the semester."

"When you graduate in the future, you can also be given priority recommendations for the best job openings..."

Tian Yuan looked at Chen Fan with a beaming smile, making sure the other person understood his words.

Then, his tone shifted.

"If you're interested and genuinely want to join the Student Union, I can help."

"Because I am currently serving as the vice president of the Student Union."

Tian Yuan was very confident, believing that unless someone was a fool, no one could refuse the temptation of joining the Student Union.

Chen Fan looked at Tian Yuan and asked.

"Why is Senior being so nice to me?"

"I'm afraid there are other conditions attached, aren't there?"

"Look at that, talking to a smart person saves so much effort."

Tian Yuan chuckled.

"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush and will be completely direct."

"I like Su Ruochu, and I hope you will voluntarily step aside."

Seeing that Chen Fan was about to speak, Tian Yuan raised a hand.

"Don't be in a rush, hear me out first."

"Ruochu and I grew up together since we were kids; you could say we're childhood sweethearts."

"Our parents all know each other, and we are all very satisfied with each other's children."

"Besides, my family is well-off, a perfect match in social and economic status for Ruochu's family."

"These are facts you simply cannot compete with me on."

"I know you like Su Ruochu, but the two of you are simply not a good match."

"If you can willingly walk away from Ruochu, I can promise to get you into the Student Union, and I guarantee you'll enjoy a series of benefits like merit evaluations and scholarships in the future."

"Of course, there's one more thing: once you're in the Student Union, you'll be able to access more clubs and more beautiful women. Whenever you want, you can find an even prettier girl to be your girlfriend..."

Chen Fan watched as Tian Yuan spoke eloquently before him.

He didn't feel much surprise in his heart.

He had seen it during their last meeting—this guy had a crush on Su Ruochu.

He just hadn't expected that only a few days later, Tian Yuan would become so impatient.

And he had even come to confront him in person, demanding that he back off.

Chen Fan smiled.

Wondering if this guy was utterly naive or simply too conceited.

"Sorry. I'm not interested in joining the Student Union."

"Also, it is impossible for me to leave Su Ruochu."

The smile on Tian Yuan's face stiffened slightly.

"Won't you give it some serious thought?"

"No need to think about it."

"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm heading back to my dorm."

"Stop right there!"

Tian Yuan suddenly spoke in a cold voice, his gaze fixing on Chen Fan growing much less friendly.

"Are you sure you've thought this through?"

"I advise you to consider it carefully. The authority of the Student Union is very substantial."

Chen Fan smiled.

"Are you threatening me?"

Tian Yuan shook his head.

"I didn't say that, but as a freshman, it's always best to keep a low profile."

"Think about how hard you studied to get in here. What if, over some trivial matter, you make a mistake, get a major demerit, or are placed on disciplinary probation? Your whole life would truly be ruined..."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"A rather decent threat."

"However... you've picked the wrong person."

Without so much as a parting word, he turned around and walked straight into the dormitory building alone.

To be honest, getting into university for Chen Fan was, on one hand, to give his parents an account, and on the other hand, to be able to spend four more years with Su Ruochu.

As for that so-called college diploma, Chen Fan had genuinely never cared about it.

In his eyes, Tian Yuan's threats just now were somewhat laughable.

When he returned to the dorm, the other five guys hadn't returned yet.

After washing up, Chen Fan lay on his bed, continuing to ponder how to make the best use of the fifty thousand yuan in his hands.

Actually, he could just buy a computer directly.

But buying a computer right after entering school seemed a bit too flashy.

Moreover, he didn't want to research his startup projects inside the dorm room.

If he really bought a computer, he would probably have to rent a place outside.

While he was lost in these messy thoughts, the dorm door was pushed open, and Wu Di and the others bustled in noisily.

"Fourth brother, why are you in the dorm instead of watching the show?"

"Not feeling well?"

Wu Di asked with concern. Chen Fan shook his head and explained with a smile.

"I went out for a bit because of something."

Wu Di immediately wore a knowing, suggestive smile.

"Oh... understood, understood..."

"So you went out to enjoy a two-person world."

Looking at this guy's sleazy expression, Chen Fan really wanted to retort: *You don't understand a damn thing.*

At that moment, Luo Wenjie suddenly stepped onto the lower bunk and stood up.

"Hey, Fourth, it's such a pity you didn't go watch the show tonight."

"Let me tell you, tonight's show was absolutely lit."

"Oh man, those art department dancers—tsk tsk, those ultra-short skirts, those little silk stockings, the way they twisted their bodies... In one word: rocking!"

At this point, Third Brother Sun Hao shouted loudly, "Eldest, you've got to keep Second in check. This guy hogged the binoculars all night and wouldn't let anyone else look..."

Luo Wenjie argued with absolute conviction.

"I'm doing it for your own good. If I let you guys watch too much, would you even be able to sleep tonight?"

Then he changed the subject, "Anyway, brothers, through my research all night long, I found out that out of those eight gorgeous dancers, seven of them wore safety shorts, and only one didn't—she wore little white triangle panties instead."

"Slurp! It feels so good to be trusted!"

"Damn it! Too sleazy. I can't take him anymore. Let's beat him up!"

"Agreed..."

Several brothers swarmed forward and pinned Luo Wenjie onto the bed.

"Yamateh..."

Luo Wenjie's shrill scream echoed down the hallway.

Looking at this scene, the anxiety that had weighed on Chen Fan's mind all evening finally melted away.

Having these good brothers around was really great.

Bang!

Just as they were messing around, the dorm door was kicked open.

Several male students strode in, some holding notebooks, looking very official and severe.

"What time is it? Still messing around?"

"Don't you know lights-out is about to blow?"

Wu Di and the others quickly stood up from the bed, looking somewhat confused at these strangers.

"They're from the Student Union."

Wu Di whispered a reminder.

Hearing this, Luo Wenjie—who was still lying on the bed suffering from the group pile-on—hurriedly pulled up his pants and stood up.

The moment the Student Union members entered the dorm, their brows furrowed.

"What's that smell? So stinky?"

"Look at how filthy this dorm is, just like a dog kennel. Did you guys not learn dorm organization during military training?"

"Did you think that since military training ended today, you could run wild?"

A senior member of the Student Union pointed at the group with an air of absolute authority and launched into a harsh scolding.

Raising his eyes, he spotted Chen Fan lying on the upper bunk.

The senior's brow suddenly furrowed as he pointed a finger.

"Who told you to be up there?"

"Get down here right now."
