Sectional reading 201
"My older brother and I are giving this to you." Xiaoqian took the gift, looked at it, and said, "Thank you, Xiaoling, thank you, older brother!" Xiaoling said, "Open it and wear it." Xiaoqian opened the gift and happily said, "Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!" Xiaoling smiled and helped Xiaoqian put it on, and Xiaoqian affectionately kissed her cheek. Xiaoqian's boyfriend said, "Older brother, Xiaoling, please take a seat." Xiaoqian also said, "Yes, yes, yes, please take a seat." After saying this, Xiaoxi's boyfriend led Daqi and Xiaoling to a large private room in the restaurant. Upon entering, Daqi found that there were already over a dozen people seated, divided into two tables. The girls were all from the broadcasting and arts departments, while the boys were not clearly identified. Xiaoling greeted them, and Daqi could only smile and nod in return, as he didn't recognize any of them. In terms of social skills, Xiaoling was indeed quite adept, seemingly knowing everyone. It seemed that everyone in the room was a couple, except for one girl without a male companion. Daqi looked at the girl without a partner and understood why; compared to the other beautiful women present, she appeared rather ordinary. At Binhai Media, girls without any attractiveness would find it difficult to attract the attention of men. This was because there were simply too many beautiful girls, especially at this university, and relatively few men. The male-to-female ratio was roughly 1:3. Girls with average looks would feel quite frustrated here.
Daqi could see that all the other girls with boyfriends seemed happy, but the girl without a boyfriend always had a sour look on her face. Sigh, being a girl is tough, being an unattractive girl is even tougher! I, Tong Daqi, can only offer my deepest sympathy!
After everyone sat down, Xiaoxi's boyfriend kept raising his glass to thank the people at both tables who had come to celebrate her birthday. Everyone kept wishing the "birthday girl," Xiaoxi, and her boyfriend well.
Some said, "Happy birthday, Xiaoqian! May you grow old together!"
Xiaoling said, "My older brother and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!"
Some said, "May you two be inseparable for a lifetime!"
Some said, "Kiss them in public, and I'll toast you!" Everyone cheered, demanding they kiss in public. Xiaoqian's boyfriend had no choice but to hug her and kiss her in front of everyone.
The atmosphere seems pretty good. Wow, young people these days are definitely more open-minded. Luckily, I, Daqi, managed to catch the last train to university, finally witnessing just how open-minded university students really are.
The group chatted casually, and Daqi frequently clinked glasses with the boys. He asked them which department they were from; some were from the Production Department, some from the Art Department, and some from the Business Administration Department. Most were freshmen, but one was a 2001 graduate; Daqi and his group were all 2002 freshmen. Many girls asked Xiaoling, "When are you moving out of the dorm?" Xiaoling asked, "Have you all moved out?" Except for the girl without a boyfriend, almost all the girls smiled and nodded. Xiaoling smiled and said, "No wonder the dorm has been so quiet lately. Don't worry, I'll be moving out soon too. Looks like I'm falling behind you guys." Many people chuckled at this.
Daqi thought to himself: "Xiaoling wouldn't really want to live with me, would she?" But then he thought, "Whatever. Living with a beautiful woman isn't such a bad thing, it's just that going to the library won't be very convenient. I'll see what Xiaoling thinks. If she wants to live together, then so be it. I can read fewer books, but I can't be without women!"
After dinner, Mei Xiaoqian and her boyfriend treated everyone to a night out at a disco. Daqi, true to his "I'll risk my life to accompany you" spirit, went with Xiaoling. He'd never really liked these kinds of environments, though he could tolerate it if he was with friends. Xiaoling was a good dancer, but no matter how much she tried to entice Daqi, he wouldn't dance. Daqi told her, "You dance with your friends, I'll just sit and drink." Xiaoling knew Daqi's temperament. She thought, "This man is a bit quiet, let him be!" A few girls weren't dancing either, and Daqi sat and chatted with them.
After dancing, everyone left the disco, except for the girl who didn't have a boyfriend, who went back to school. The others went to their rented apartments to rest. Xiaoling asked Daqi, "Brother, shall we go back to school?" Daqi whispered to Xiaoling, "Let's go get a room." Xiaoling smiled slightly in agreement.
When it comes to booking hotel rooms, he was an expert a long time ago. He and Mu Ping used to book hotel rooms almost every week.
The two went to a hotel called "Fenghe Hotel" near the school to check in. Daqi asked the owner for a single room, and on the way there, he asked Xiaoling directly, "Have you prepared any safety measures?" Xiaoling said, "I'll go buy some for you now." After buying condoms, the two went to check in.
After Daqi and Xiaoling entered the room, Daqi immediately tried to embrace Xiaoling intimately. The girl said coquettishly, "Big brother, don't be in such a hurry. Let me help you take a hot bath, okay? You smell of alcohol!" Daqi nodded, "Okay, okay, okay!" So Xiaoling eagerly helped Daqi undress, then stripped herself naked. After they entered the bathroom, Xiaoling first filled the bathtub with hot water, then began to serve the man as he bathed. Both of them soaked in the hot water, and Xiaoling attentively washed Daqi's body. Her movements were extremely gentle; she knew how to please a man. Daqi gently cupped her face and said, "Xiaoling, tell me the truth, how many boyfriends have you had?" Xiaoling smiled and said, "I had one in high school, Sun Hao, you know him, that's all. Do you care?" Daqi laughed and said, "No, I'm just asking. If I cared, I wouldn't be with you. Why do so many of your classmates live together?" Xiaoling said, "Big brother, when I was in high school, many of my classmates lived together, not to mention college." Daqi smiled and shook his head and said, "High school students nowadays are indeed more open-minded than my good friend Dazhong was in high school. Actually, it hasn't been many years, but people's views have changed so much." Daqi carefully looked at the beautiful Xiaoling. Long hair, tall figure, fair skin, and very delicate features. At only twenty years old, her breasts were quite full. He said to Xiaoling, "You're pretty, I really like you!" Xiaoling smiled charmingly and said, "Am I prettier than the women in your family?" Daqi smiled slightly, cupped her head and pressed it against his crotch, saying, "Don't ask so many questions, as long as you like me, that's enough. In short, I won't mistreat you. You know what to do, right?" Xiaoling blushed and nodded, saying, "Brother, you want me to..." Daqi said in surprise, "Why haven't you done this for anyone before?" Xiaoling smiled slightly and shook her head, but then said, "I've seen women do this for men online, I... I'll try..." Daqi smiled smugly and said, "Good girl, that's more like my woman!" After saying that, Xiaoling clumsily began to please Daqi with her lips and tongue... The two teased each other in the bathroom for a while, then the woman helped Daqi dry off, and then she dried herself off as well. After drying off, the woman wrapped a bath towel around herself. Daqi liked this little sister quite a bit, and he carried her to the bed in the hotel room. The two rolled around on the bed and started making love. The woman listened to Brother Fu. He whispered something in her ear, and she smiled slightly, making her red lips, white teeth, and fragrant tongue look exceptionally alluring. Xiaoling said, "Brother, you seem to really enjoy being served by women like this." Daqi laughed, "You're half right. I like it when a beautiful woman like you serves me this way." Xiaoling kissed Daqi and said, "Brother, I'm especially happy with you. Do you love me?" Daqi nodded. He stood on the bed, and the woman knelt before him, her knees on the bed, looking up at him with her dark eyes. Looking down at her, Daqi saw that her beautiful hair cascaded over her smooth, white back, making her look quite sexy. He gently pressed her head towards his crotch with one hand... Xiaoling was startled for a moment, but immediately smiled and showed him her delicate face, gazing at him with a seductive look. At that moment, her arched eyebrows, bright eyes, slender nose, and bright red lips were extremely alluring. The woman smiled and gazed at Daqi, smoothing her hair before gently parting her lips to carefully please him. Daqi was quite satisfied with the oral service the news anchor was providing. The woman gently and slowly moved her head, her eyes never leaving the man's gaze. The man stroked the woman's hair at his feet, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the sensation for a while. Finally, they got to the "main event." After the beautiful, young, and tall girl put on "safety measures" for the man, they began their lovemaking. Xiaoling moaned incessantly as the man pleasured her, constantly tossing her flowing hair. Especially when Daqi used the rear-entry position, she trembled all over, thrusting her body back and forth. Finally, Daqi satisfied his desire with the woman. However, Xiaoling felt as if the man had dismantled her entire skeleton; she and the man embraced, panting heavily. Daqi, not one to back down, put his arm around Xiaoling and gently patted her back, laughing, "How's it going? Am I alright?" Xiaoling nodded repeatedly and said sweetly, "Brother, you're the strongest. Nothing happened between Sun Hao and me. You're so much better than my ex-boyfriend from high school. Brother, let's move in together, so we don't have to go through the hassle of booking a hotel." Daqi said, "If you want to move in, then let's. Let's go find a place together tomorrow. Where do you like to stay?" Xiaoling said, "I think there's a Baisha Apartment nearby. Let's go check it out tomorrow. Brother, I hope you'll always take good care of Xiaoling." "Sister, I love you!" Daqi hugged her and smiled, "Let's go to sleep. Moving out means you'll be my woman. I'm a very domineering man, so you'd better be obedient to me!" Xiaoling smiled happily, "A man's domineering nature is a woman's happiness, that's what my mom says. Now that I'm your woman, how can I not listen to you? When she was young, my dad was also very domineering towards her. It would be strange if someone like you wasn't domineering, brother! I don't care, as long as you're good to me!" Daqi smiled, "Good girl, you know how to talk! I love you to death!"
Hey, I originally planned to come to university to study quietly, but I didn't expect to find a broadcasting beauty so easily. Xiaoling is a top-notch beauty in terms of both looks and figure, on par with my homeroom teacher, Han Meng. Just thinking about Han Meng makes Daqi feel all hot and bothered, but he calms down because Xiaoling in his arms is already fast asleep.
Daqi hadn't originally planned to find a beautiful woman to keep him company at university, since he already had 17 beauties in his family. But since fate had seemingly sent him a beauty like Xiaoling, how could he refuse? "Thank God, I, Tong Daqi, will accept Xiaoling as my beauty!" he thought. "University life is actually quite boring; having a beautiful woman by my side to keep me company is a good idea!"
The next day, after class, the two went looking for an apartment. They went to Baisha Apartment Complex, where there were many rental listings. They made a few calls and started arranging meetings with landlords and viewings. Xiaoling chose a studio apartment, and the two of them made do. The environment was quite nice; it had a kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, water heater, and a small south-facing balcony. The rent was also very cheap, only 600 yuan a month. Daqi was a wealthy man; 600 yuan was nothing to him. His family's shop earned 600,000 yuan a year from rent alone.
From then on, Daqi began living with the beautiful Xiaoling. He would still make time to go to the library to study, and Xiaoling would accompany him. The two were always together, eating and doing everything together. Daqi was happy that he didn't live in the dormitory, because if he didn't live in the dormitory, he wouldn't hear other people's gossip.
Perhaps others would talk about him and Xiaoling behind his back, but he couldn't care less about their opinions. He'd rather have a wild time with Xiaoling in his rented apartment than pay attention to what others said. However, Daqi was still very diligent in his studies and studied hard at the library. Sometimes, when Xiaoling said she was bored in class and asked Daqi to come and keep her company, he didn't mind skipping class to accompany her. Daqi didn't care about the lessons his teachers taught because he had already self-studied them at his place or in the library; listening to the teacher was pointless.
That day, Daqi accompanied Xiaoling to class. He went to her classroom and found that half the class was missing. He asked Xiaoling, "Why are there so few people in your class?" Xiaoling replied, "Some went to work-study programs, some went out with their boyfriends, and some are sleeping in their dorms. Oh well, who cares!" At noon, while they were eating in the cafeteria, Daqi said to Xiaoling, "I haven't been back to my dorm in ages. I'm going to check on them today. What about you?" Xiaoling said, "I'll go back and check on them too!"
So, Daqi went back to the dorm at noon to check on Li Xianming and Xie Changjin. As soon as he returned, the other students immediately started fussing over him. Daqi said, "Why are there so many computers in the dorm? Three!" Li Xianming laughed, "Brother, you've been gone for a month, and things have changed drastically. We three aren't as carefree as you, with women around; we're lucky we have computers." Xie Changjin said, "Life's been incredibly boring. At least we have computers to play with, otherwise we don't know what to do." Ji Xiaojun said, "When we're bored, we play games; when we're really bored, we go to porn sites." Daqi said to Ji Xiaojun, "You, old habits die hard." As the four were laughing and joking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the dorm. Li Xianming said, "It's Wang Guoping and Zhang Qing from the next class arguing! Let's go see!" Daqi and the other three went out to see what was going on, and sure enough, it was Wang Guoping and Zhang Qing arguing. As the argument escalated, Wang Guoping grabbed a laptop and slammed it to the ground, shocking everyone... About ten minutes later, the department's counselor arrived at the boys' dormitory...
Here's what happened. Wang Guoping and Zhang Qing were classmates in the Literature (2) class of 2002, which was next to Daqi's class. Wang Guoping had a laptop that he had used for a while and wanted to sell it, while Zhang Qing, tempted by the low price, bought it for 1500 yuan. However, after using it for a few days, Zhang Qing felt it wasn't working well and asked to return it, but Wang Guoping refused. So the two started arguing. As the argument escalated, Wang Guoping became too emotional and smashed the laptop. This alarmed the department's counselor. Daqi felt quite annoyed, having finally returned to his dormitory only to witness this rather disharmonious scene.
Three days later, the department decided that Wang Guoping should return two-thirds of the payment, or 1,000 yuan, to Zhang Qing. The matter was thus resolved.
Back at their lodgings, Daqi told Xiaoling about it. Xiaoling said, "That Zhang Qing, what was she thinking, trying to get something for nothing? I know Wang Guoping, he's a student council member in your literature department, and he's incredibly cunning. Would he do something that loses money?" Daqi said, "Actually, Zhang Qing also bears some responsibility. According to Li Xianming, he advised Zhang Qing not to buy it, but Zhang Qing insisted, and then wanted to back out." Xiaoling hugged Daqi and said, "That's why there's so much gossip in the dorms. It's good that we moved out. Something happened in my old dorm too."
Daqi asked, "What happened in your dorm? Tell me!" Xiaoling replied, "One of the girls in our dorm borrowed a pack of instant noodles from another girl. The girl who borrowed the noodles didn't return it, so the two of them argued." Daqi laughed, "Arguing over a pack of instant noodles?" Xiaoling continued, "Also, every month when the dorm's water and electricity bills are settled, one student always tries to pay less, saying she doesn't have a computer..."

Section Reading 202
Two other girls have computers. They also said they often lend her their computers. Anyway, it's hard to say, so I'll just ignore it. "By the way, honey, why don't we get a computer to play with? We have the Level 1 Computer exam next semester. We can practice at home. I told my dad, and he said he'd send me money to buy one." Daqi said, "I'll buy it for you, don't let your dad send money." Xiaoling said, "This..." Daqi said, "What 'this'? Listen to me, money is no problem." Xiaoling said, "It's not good for me to always use your money." Daqi hugged her tightly and said, "Aren't you my woman?" Xiaoling smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course." Daqi said, "That's settled then. I said you should listen to me on important matters. Don't worry about this. We'll go to the computer mall this weekend. Do you want a laptop or a desktop?" Xiaoling said, "Let's get a desktop. Desktops are cheaper, we can sell it after graduation." "After I start working, I'll buy a laptop." Daqi thought it made sense and said, "Okay, whatever you say." Xiaoling said, "This month, our department is holding a student representative congress to elect a president, vice president, and a new student union cadre team. Honey, what should I do?" Daqi said, "You want to be in it, don't you?" Xiaoling said, "I spent so much money treating them to meals last time, of course I want to be in it." Daqi said, "That's easy. From now on, treat the student union cadres you know to meals, one or two at a time. I'll go with you to treat them to meals. Also, what's the biggest sponsorship amount for your department's external relations department?" Xiaoling said, "Wow, brother. How do you know so much about how the student union operates? Were you a student union cadre before?" Daqi smiled and said, "My second wife, Xiaoli, used to be the president of the student union in university. She knows exactly how the student union operates. Don't worry, getting you a department head position is no problem. It would be best to get you a vice president position." "But let me tell you, whether you're a student leader or not isn't important. I suggest you focus on your studies. That's real work; being a student leader is all empty and unreliable. What good is a title?" Xiaoling said. "But all the student council members are busy, forming cliques and vying for votes." Daqi said, "My dear, if you follow my plan, I'll at least make you a department head." Xiaoling said, "Then I'll do whatever you say! I'll listen to everything you say!"
Hey, Daqi, this multi-millionaire, doesn't care if his woman is a student council officer. He's only helping Xiaoling out of pity. What kid these days doesn't want to compete? Take the last class officer election, for example; everyone wanted to show off, let alone the department's student council. Xiaoling likes it, so let's just let her have it.
Xiaoling said, "Our department's biggest sponsor is someone named Su Beibella. Her uncle is the chairman of a group. Last time, she had her uncle sponsor our department with 50,000 RMB. Like me, she is currently an ordinary student union officer, not a department head yet. I guess she will run for president or vice president."
Daqi said, "Go back and ask your teacher what the largest sponsorship amount is. I'll give you double the amount; if she gives 50,000, I'll give you 100,000; if she gives 100,000, I'll give you 200,000. In short, you must suppress her. Don't worry, your husband has the ability. Then, treat her to meals every day, divide and conquer, that is, treat her separately. I guarantee that by the day you are elected, you will at least be a minister." Xiaoling happily said, "That's so kind of you, husband!" Xiaoling asked, "Under what name, under what name is the sponsorship?" Daqi said, "Simple, under the name of my first wife Qiwen's 'Tian Sanpin Coffee Shop.' But I have one condition: the money can only be used to support poor students in your department, not for any other purpose. You talk to your teacher." Xiaoling said, "Sure, sure. As long as there's money, that's fine." That night, Xiaoling seemed very happy, constantly trying to please Daqi. Daqi also tried his best to find pleasure in her. He turned Xiaoling over and over, her hair was messy, and she kept calling out "husband." Daqi was unusually excited today, and he gently stroked Xiaoling's delicate "chrysanthemum"...
Daqi whispered a few words in Xiaoling's ear. The girl blushed deeply, her face flushed with shyness, yet she obediently raised her shapely, plump buttocks high, kneeling and supporting her upper body with her elbows. She said shyly, "Husband, Ling'er... Ling'er is scared... I've never... tried this before..." Daqi chuckled and gently patted the girl's snowy buttocks twice, the crisp "smack, smack" sounding. He said, "What's there to be afraid of?" Xiaoling turned around and said sweetly, "Then... then you have to be gentle..." Daqi nodded, a smile playing on his lips, "All my women have to go through this. Turn your head away, close your eyes, be good, don't move!" Xiaoling nodded and turned her head back, obediently closing her eyes.
Xiaoling thought to herself: "Big brother, you are my emperor, and I am your concubine. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it. Just please be gentle and slow… I'm actually a little scared… because I've never tried anything this crazy before…"
"Ah!" Xiaoling cried out softly, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She continued to cry out, while Daqi's abdomen gradually pressed against her buttocks...
After their passion subsided, Daqi embraced the sweaty Xiaoling and smiled, "Ling'er, my darling, do you know why I love you so much?" Xiaoling opened her eyes and shook her head happily. Daqi said, "Because you're such an obedient beauty." Xiaoling kissed Daqi and said, "Now, every part of my body belongs to you, brother. Don't worry, Ling'er will always listen to you." She spoke softly, making Daqi feel completely relaxed. He teased Xiaoling, saying, "Ling'er, repeat the last sentence you just said. Remember, say it loudly, word by word." Xiaoling smiled faintly and said, word by word, "Brother, Ling'er will always listen to you!" Daqi nodded in satisfaction, patted her pretty face, and said, "Well said! I love it when a beautiful girl like you listens to me! Come on, let's do it again!" Xiaoling screamed, begging Daqi to let her off the hook, but Daqi laughed and said, "I'm not letting you off today!" The two resumed their lovemaking, and Xiaoling wanted to scream the whole room apart...
Daqi and Xiaoling's relationship was now public knowledge. It was consensual, and the school dared not say anything. Daqi openly took Xiaoling home for the night. Although he didn't tell his wife that Xiaoling was his woman, everyone treated her like a sister. Qiwen and Xiaoli often reminded Xiaoling, "Ling'er, Daqi's life at school depends on you. Call home if anything happens." Xiaoling tactfully replied, "Don't worry, Sister Wen and Sister Li, I'll take good care of him!" Qiwen said, "Ling, from now on, at home, you should call him 'Master,' not 'he.'" Xiaoling nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Wen, I'll take good care of Master!" From then on, Xiaoling called Daqi "Master" in private and "Big Brother" or "Husband" in public.
Episode 12 Beauty Crisis
Next, Daqi and Xiaoling launched a "vote-getting campaign." Xiaoling's first step, as Daqi had suggested, was to go to the department and ask the counselor, Teacher Wang, about the sponsorship situation.
Teacher Wang said, "Our students have always been quite active and have secured a lot of sponsorships. This year's biggest sponsorship was probably the 50,000 yuan from Su Beibei."
Xiaoling said, "Teacher Wang, I will also be able to secure a sponsorship soon."
Teacher Wang's eyes lit up and she said, "Xiaoling, is this true? That's great news! Which company is sponsoring it?"
Xiaoling said, "I am currently in discussions with the other party, and I will report the progress to Teacher Wang truthfully when the time comes."
Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Xiaoling, your performance in the student union has always been the best. You must do a good job with this sponsorship; it's a contribution to the department."
Xiaoling smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, don't worry!"
Teacher Wang asked, "How much do you estimate?"
Xiaoling deliberately thought for a moment and then said, "At least 50,000 or more."
Teacher Wang exclaimed in surprise, "So much! Xiaoling, keep a close eye on this and make sure we get this sponsorship!"
Following Daqi's instructions, Xiaoling said, "Don't worry, under Teacher Wang's guidance, I will definitely be able to secure this sponsorship."
Teacher Wang smiled and said, "According to the school's internal regulations, you can get a 20% rebate."
Xiaoling laughed and said, "When the time comes, I'll treat Teacher Wang and all the other teachers to a meal and drinks. After all, it's sponsored money."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang beamed and said, "Yes, yes, if the leaders of the sponsoring organization are willing to step forward, it will be very easy for me to invite the department head out."
Xiaoling said, "Please make sure all the department leaders attend."
Teacher Wang said, "Don't worry, they will definitely come. As long as they contribute to the department, the director will definitely step in."
Daqi and Xiaoling were operating on two fronts—one was "sponsorship," and the other was hosting daily banquets for key student council members, including the president, vice president, and department heads. Every member beamed at them, praising Xiaoling's abilities as the best among all student council members. The president, in particular, repeatedly stated, "Xiaoling, the student representative assembly is at the end of this month. Don't worry, I will definitely recommend you to the department and try to get you elected vice president. Don't worry, we're all graduating soon; as soon as we graduate, you'll be promoted from vice president to full president."
Daqi and Qiwen discussed this matter. Qiwen readily agreed, saying, "It's just 100,000 yuan, no big deal. Let's sponsor Xiaoling's department with 100,000 yuan in the name of our coffee shop." Xiaoling said, "Thank you, Sister Wen. Actually, we only need 80,000 yuan because we get a 20% commission." Qiwen waved her hand and laughed, "Keep the 20,000 yuan for your spending money." Daqi added, "Xiaoling, you can use it to entertain guests, you're going to invite the teachers in your department, aren't you?" Xiaoling said, "But if we're going to invite the teachers to a banquet, then Sister Wen will have to step in." Qiwen said, "Then, Li'er and I will represent you. I'll be the general manager of the coffee shop, and Li'er will be the deputy general manager. Isn't that a big enough title?" Xiaoling said, "That's enough, that's enough, thank you, Sister Wen and Sister Li." Xiao Li laughed, "We're all family, Xiaoling, don't thank me!"
Oh no, Xiao Li has also been "infected" by Jia Ran; she keeps spouting "butt" from her mouth. Da Qi discovered that it seems many of his wives, including Xiao Man, also like to use the word "butt."
Daqi thought to himself: "Ugh, these women have to learn all sorts of things, why do they have to use such vulgar language? Jia Ran, oh Jia Ran, sister, you've really set a great example." But Daqi believed his women could definitely act with composure and grace in formal settings, making him look good. He was confident they wouldn't be swayed by others in those situations! However, this time, he couldn't tell the broadcasting professors that he was Qiwen and Xiaoli's husband; he could only say they were friends.
Xiaoling did everything Daqi said, while Daqi was taught how to operate by Xiaoli, who used to be the student union president at university. That day, counselor Teacher Wang spoke with Xiaoling. Xiaoling said, "Teacher Wang, the sponsorship has been finalized. The general manager and deputy general manager have agreed to sponsor our department with 100,000 yuan in one lump sum."
Teacher Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Xiaoling said, "How could I dare to lie to you? But the other party asked if we could meet and have a meal with our department head, Teacher Chen, the deputy director in charge of student affairs, Teacher Zhang, and you and Teacher He. They said they would only feel comfortable handing over the money to me after meeting the teachers, since 100,000 yuan is not a small amount." Teacher He is also a counselor in the department. Teacher Wang is the secretary of the Youth League branch of the Broadcasting Department, and Teacher He is the deputy secretary of the Youth League branch. Both of them are counselors and are unmarried women.
Teacher Wang said, "Of course, of course, 100,000 is no small sum. Okay, I'll talk to Director Chen and Director Zhang first and see when they're available. Don't worry, we're willing to meet with the leaders of the sponsoring organization."
Xiaoling said, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Wang."
Teacher Wang: "You're too kind. Xiaoling, the student representative meeting will be held at the end of this month. Do you have any plans?" The two were talking in Teacher Wang's private dormitory.
Xiaoling said, "I will follow Teacher Wang's arrangements!"
Teacher Wang: "Look at you, you're so good at talking. Don't worry, I'll discuss it with the other teachers in the department. In short, you need to be careful about your words and actions during this time, and try to get along well with everyone in the department. You've always been the best."
Xiaoling: "I am so grateful to Professor Wang and the other teachers and students in the department for their great help. I especially want to thank Professor Wang!"
Teacher Wang said, "Xiaoling, you're too kind. By the way, who is the leader of this sponsoring organization to you?"
Xiaoling said, "My cousin, my biological cousin." Teacher Wang nodded thoughtfully.
Everything was done according to Daqi's prior instructions, and Qiwen temporarily became Xiaoling's cousin.
That day, Qiwen and Xiaoli drove their family's extended Lincoln, along with Daqi's school Cadillac, making a total of two cars, to the Broadcasting Department of Binhai Media College. Daqi and Xiaoling hosted a banquet for Xiaoling's department head, Teacher Chen; Party Branch Secretary, Teacher Wang; Deputy Director in charge of student affairs, Teacher Zhang; and two counselors, Teacher Wang and Teacher He. Xiaoling invited her teachers to the banquet in Qiwen's name, ostensibly as a meeting between the leaders of the Broadcasting Department of Binhai Media College and the leaders of the sponsoring unit. Qiwen and Xiaoli had arranged everything meticulously. They invited Xiaoling's department leaders to dine at Jia Ran's former hotel, "San Yang Kai Tai." Jia Ran called his younger brother, who was a business owner, insisting on arranging the most luxurious private room, which his brother readily agreed to. Daqi, Qiwen, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoling's five teachers ate together in the private room. Since Department Head Teacher Chen loved Cantonese cuisine, most of the dishes on the table were Cantonese dishes. A whole table of dishes was laid out: braised cabbage in broth, celery stir-fried with almonds, Hakka stuffed tofu, braised pork intestines in a hot pot, lemon cucumber strips, jujube and shrimp cakes, homemade salt-baked chicken, seafood and lettuce casserole, beef balls in soup, char siu pork, and beef tenderloin with bamboo shoots, among others. After consulting with Department Head Chen and Party Branch Secretary Wang, Qiwen ordered two bottles of Remy Martin. Qiwen was clearly the star of this small banquet. She raised her glass to Xiaoling's teachers, saying, "Dear teachers, please take good care of my cousin Xiaoling in the future. Here, let me toast you all!" Department Head Chen replied, "You're too kind, Mr. Zhou!" Then everyone toasted each other. Xiaoling toasted every teacher, but since she wasn't a big drinker, she asked Daqi to help her. Throughout the entire banquet, Daqi barely spoke; he simply helped Xiaoling drink. Deputy Director Zhang, who is in charge of student affairs, said, "Xiaoling has always been the best student in our department, and her work enthusiasm is also the highest." Xiaoling quickly said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!" The two counselors also repeatedly praised Xiaoling in front of Qiwen and Xiaoli for her good academic performance and her positive work attitude.
Department Head Chen said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your educational support of our Broadcasting Department. Here, let me toast you!"
Qiwen said, "Teacher Chen, may I make a request?"
Teacher Chen said, "Please go ahead, Mr. Zhou!"
Qiwen said, "Could my sponsorship of your department be..."

Section Reading 203
Is it specifically for sponsoring underprivileged students in your department, and not for any other purpose?
Teacher Chen: "Yes, yes, no problem!"
Party Branch Secretary Teacher Wang also said, "When our department receives sponsorships from the community, we generally spend the money according to the requirements of the sponsoring organization, so please rest assured, Mr. Zhou!"
Qiwen said, "Okay, okay. Come on, let me toast the two leaders again!" The three of them clinked glasses again, and Xiao Li toasted Deputy Director Zhang and the two counselors.
After the banquet, Daqi and Xiaoling each drove the teachers home, while Qiwen and Xiaoli drove home in their Lincolns with smiles on their faces.
In mid-November 2002, the "Third Student Representative Congress of the Broadcasting Department of Binhai Media College" was solemnly held. This meeting summarized the work of the previous student council and elected a new student council leadership. Lin Xiaoling was elected with an overwhelming majority of votes, and the meeting immediately announced her as the acting president of the new Broadcasting Department Student Council. The president was the boy Xiaoling, who was about to graduate, had treated to several meals. At the same time, another girl was also elected as vice president; she was Su Beibei, the girl who secured the second-most sponsorships for the department. There's a little anecdote worth mentioning.
Every candidate for the student council was elected jointly by teachers and students. During the election, each candidate had to deliver a campaign speech. Xiaoling was first-rate in both appearance and speaking style, and coupled with her good interpersonal relationships, the vast majority of students voted for her. It's particularly worth mentioning that after Xiaoling finished her campaign speech, Department Head Chen and Party Branch Secretary Wang immediately praised her. Both department leaders commended Xiaoling for her high level of enthusiasm and ideological awareness, calling her an outstanding representative of student leaders. The two counselors also praised Xiaoling's work in the student council. The student council president also praised Xiaoling in his speech, saying that working with her was very pleasant.
The reader should understand now; it's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. Chinese universities are essentially "mini-bureaucracies," whether you believe it or not, it's an undeniable fact. If you're a young reader and want to make a name for yourself in university, try Tong Daqi's method—it's very effective. As for the real bureaucracy, it's probably similar. Because the "mini-bureaucracies" and the real bureaucracy are essentially the same.
After the student representative meeting ended, Xiaoling happily called Daqi, who was chatting with Director Bai at the library. After receiving the call, Daqi said goodbye to Director Bai, and as soon as he saw Xiaoling, she hugged him tightly.
Xiaoling happily said, "Master, I've been elected! I'm the first vice president of the student council!"
Daqi laughed and said, "Congratulations! Keep up the good work, don't get carried away, and strive to become the chairman next year."
Xiaoling said, "Anyway, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." Daqi laughed and said, "Listen to me, stay humble and keep your work style, and don't be complacent. I only have one requirement for you: do practical work and gain a good reputation. But, you can't just gain a reputation without doing anything." Xiaoling said coquettishly, "Master, I know. Anyway, with you, my 'wise strategist,' by my side, I'm not afraid of anyone. Today, someone's face wasn't looking too good." Daqi said, "Su Beibei?" Xiaoling nodded and said, "Although she was elected vice president, I clearly have the upper hand in terms of public opinion." Daqi said, "You should also work together with her in the future. In short, stick to the facts in your work. If you encounter anything that's difficult to handle, you can consult your counselor." Xiaoling nodded and said, "I know, but I'll definitely ask you first."
It should be said that Xiaoling's work ability was quite good. In addition, she would always call Daqi when she encountered problems, and at night when they slept together, she would also ask him for advice on how to handle issues arising in student affairs. Therefore, Xiaoling eventually became the student union president of the broadcasting department very smoothly—but that's another story.
At their place, Xiaoling took good care of Daqi, and the two would go home together on weekends to Daqi's house. Sometimes, his wives would also drive over to meet Daqi. Daqi had Jia Ran add Xiaoling to her "beauty schedule," meaning Xiaoling had to wait in line if she wanted to have sex with Daqi. However, Daqi's wives lived far from the university, so he had sex with Xiaoling most often on weekdays, but almost never on weekends. He had 17 beauties at home! One time, his mother-in-law, Ye Wenhua, couldn't contain her burgeoning desire and had her daughter, Qiwen, drive her to Daqi and Xiaoling's rented apartment. Upon arriving, the mother-in-law complained to her beloved son-in-law, saying she was "longing for rain after a drought."
