Beibei said, "Hi, the teachers in the department warned her not to skip classes anymore, otherwise, she would be in danger of being expelled."
Jiaxin: "But the man who's keeping her will call her, so she has to go out eventually. If you're kept by someone, you have to obey. Sigh..."
Xiaoling said, "That's one aspect, but what Dongyue is really worried about isn't that. It's that she heard the wife of the man who sponsored her wants to talk to her."
Daqi: "What? That man's wife wants to talk to Dongyue? What does that mean?"
Xiaoling said, "That man's wife suspected her husband of having an affair, so she hired a private investigator to follow him. This is what the man told Dongyue, who was completely unaware of it. The man told Dongyue not to meet with his wife, because it seems his wife wants to see Dongyue and talk to her."
Daqi shook his head after hearing this and said, "It's so complicated! You might as well just leave that guy."
Xiaoling said, "Now we're afraid that man's wife will cause trouble at the school, so Dongyue is under a lot of pressure!" Daqi shook his head after hearing this and didn't say anything.
Three days later, Daqi was reading in the special collections room when his phone rang. It was Xiaoling calling. Daqi answered and learned that Shu Dongyue was indeed in trouble. He immediately rushed to the bubble tea shop in the residential area. Xiaoling, Beibei, Jiaxin, and Dongyue were all there, making it the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting." Daqi sat down and asked Shu Dongyue, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Shu Dongyue blushed and whispered, "That man's woman... wants to see me..."
Xiaoling answered for her: "That woman wants to see Dongyue, but Dongyue said she doesn't have time. She said if we don't meet within three days, she'll come to the school. Master, what should we do? We absolutely cannot let the department know about Dongyue, or we'll be finished."
Beibei said, "We didn't know what to do, so we asked you to come. You usually have a lot of ideas."
Jiaxin said directly to Daqi, "Master, we must help Dongyue this once, no matter what. She is our good friend and sister..."
Daqi said, "Don't worry, Dongyue, just tell me clearly, what exactly does that woman want?"
Dongyue said, "She said she wanted to see me, but I didn't dare to go..."
Daqi said, "She wants to see you simply to talk to you about leaving her husband. That should be her real purpose. Here's what we'll do, Dongyue, you call her and ask her to meet you."
Fuyutsuki: "What? Meet...meet her? I dare not!"
Daqi: "What's there to be afraid of? Let's go, we'll go with you!" The "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" all looked at Tong Daqi curiously. Daqi said, "We're meeting with her to resolve this issue. Dongyue, you can't run away anymore. You need to meet with her this time and make it clear that you'll never have anything to do with her husband again. Originally, you could have resolved this by talking to her alone, but I'm worried she might have someone beat you up. We can't rule out that possibility. So, I've decided that a few of us will go with you. My plan is this..." Daqi explained his plan in detail—they would accompany Dongyue to see that woman in a special way! After Daqi explained his plan, the four beauties all agreed. Dongyue immediately called the woman on her cell phone: "Hey, big sister, let's meet sometime..."
Dongyue had arranged to meet that woman. The time was tomorrow at noon at a coffee shop in downtown Rongzhou. Daqi said, "Everything will proceed as planned. Dongyue, go ahead without worry. We'll come out if things don't look good. If you two can reach an agreement, we'll pretend we know nothing." Dongyue nodded and said, "Thank you, brother! Xiaoling, Beibei, Jiaxin, thank you all! You're truly my good friends!" Everyone smiled.
Dear readers, you must be wondering what Daqi's plan is. Daqi's plan is for Dongyue to talk to that woman alone first. If they reach an agreement, he, Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin won't intervene. If they don't reach an agreement, or if the woman calls in thugs, then Daqi and the others will protect Dongyue. Tong Daqi isn't afraid of anyone; at worst, he'll fight her, and then have Qiwen find Ding Jian's father. He's the Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau; in Rongzhou, who dares to mess with Tong Daqi? Daqi doesn't take that woman, this so-called wealthy lady, seriously at all. According to Dongyue, that woman is a typical wealthy lady, the arrogant kind.
The next day, Daqi drove the "Four Beauties of Broadcasting" to the agreed-upon coffee shop in the city. They arrived half an hour early. Upon entering, Daqi, Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin sat at a table next to Dongyue. Dongyue waited alone for the wife of the man who had sponsored her. About half an hour later, a middle-aged woman entered the coffee shop. She was followed by two other women. Daqi said to Xiaoling and the other two, "This is probably her. She's quite impressive, and she even brought helpers. Just as I suspected! Let's keep a close eye on her; if things don't look right, we'll intervene." The three women nodded repeatedly. The four of them kept a close watch on Dongyue and the three women.
Sure enough, the woman, accompanied by two "helpers," sat down in front of Dongyue. Daqi carefully examined the woman in the middle. She was truly ugly, utterly unattractive, and as fat as a pig. No wonder her husband kept a beautiful woman like Dongyue as a mistress.
The fat woman looked at Dongyue with disdain, while Dongyue calmly looked at the three of them. The fat woman said, "You must be Shu Dongyue?" Dongyue nodded and said, "Yes, I am. Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?" The fat woman said, "I'm asking you, why did you seduce my husband?" The other two women beside her also said, "You're shameless! Why would you seduce someone else's husband?" It seemed the fat woman wanted to fight!
Upon hearing this, Daqi immediately sat down next to Dongyue, and Xiaoling and the other two sat down opposite them. The fat woman exclaimed in surprise, "You...who are you?" Daqi laughed, "I'm Dongyue's boyfriend. I'd like to ask your husband why he seduced my girlfriend?"
"Huh?...This...this..." The fat woman stammered, unable to speak, and her two female companions were also dumbfounded. They had no idea that Tong Daqi would ask such a question.
Daqi said, "Big sister, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Tell your husband to stay away from my girlfriend from now on. If he tries to seduce my girlfriend again, I won't let him get away with it. No matter who he is, I'll fight him to the death! Of course, I'm the kind of person who lets bygones be bygones; what's past is past. I hope you'll keep a close eye on your husband and stop him from having affairs! If he messes with me again, I won't be so polite!"
Chapter 33 A Shocking Conspiracy
The fat woman said, "Okay, I definitely will."

Section Reading 237
"I'll keep my man in check. But please, your girlfriend must stay away from him." The fat woman's tone softened considerably, giving Daqi more confidence to face her. Finally, the fat woman said, "I know how much money my husband gave this slut. What are we going to do about it?" The fat woman glared at Dongyue again. Dongyue was about to speak when Daqi stopped her, saying, "What evidence do you have that your husband took money from my girlfriend? Let me tell you, your husband also cheated Dongyue out of her money. If you don't believe me, call your husband over for a confrontation and ask him directly." The fat woman was furious, her face turning black with rage. She knew that encountering Tong Daqi meant encountering a scoundrel. The fat woman pointed at Dongyue and said, "How could my husband take your money? We have millions in assets. This money, the money given to this slut, no matter what, this slut must return it." Daqi had already asked Dongyue about it. He knew that Dongyue's tuition, food expenses, and the 10,000 yuan she had in the bank for the past year were all paid for by the fat woman's husband. But he felt that this was something Dongyue had earned with her body and youth, and it absolutely could not be returned to the fat woman! He said, "So what if you have a few million in assets! Go and find out how much I, Tong, have. Let me tell you, if your husband doesn't return the money he swindled from my girlfriend, I won't let this go." The fat woman said, "How much does he owe you?" Daqi said, "Let him come and say it to me in person, otherwise it's hard to explain! Call him over, I want to see this guy for myself." Daqi knew that the fat woman's husband definitely wouldn't dare to come. It was simple; he was afraid the fat woman would beat him, so he definitely wouldn't come. As long as her husband didn't come, Daqi dared to pin any "crime" on him, so there would be no way to prove it. Daqi continued loudly, "Sister, let me tell you, if your husband doesn't come, we can't talk." "But I will definitely find him and make him pay back the money he swindled from my Dongyue!" The fat woman laughed, "You have quite the nerve, always saying my husband owes you money. You're just a bunch of poor students, where would my husband get the money he swindled from?" Daqi laughed, "Sister, please go and find out how much real estate and movable property I, Tong, actually own. Your family only has a car dealership worth a few million? Let me tell you, I can buy your whole family out with just one word. I know your dealership has only paid one year's rent to the landlord. I can definitely make sure your family gets kicked out of Rongzhou next year and can't do business in the dealership anymore. Because I can pay three years' rent to your landlord all at once. Let's see who the landlord rents to. You can hire a private investigator, right? You should also go and find out who I, Tong, am before you try to fight me!" Daqi got angry and shouted, "In short, if your husband doesn't pay back the money he owes my girlfriend, I won't let him get away with it!" "Ling'er, Belle, Xin'er, Dongyue, let's go! Don't talk to them!" The four beauties nodded in agreement and walked out of the coffee shop with Daqi, getting into their Cadillac and driving away. The fat woman stood there dumbfounded. She immediately called a private investigator: "Hey, investigate the man next to Shu Dongyue..."
In the car, Dongyue said, "Big brother, your plan is different from what we discussed yesterday!" Daqi said, "This fat woman is unreasonable and wants to bully you. She tried to cause trouble right away, so I came up with this idea in a moment of inspiration." Xiaoling said, "Dongyue, this fat woman isn't here to talk to you. She's here to make things difficult for you. Big brother did the right thing." Beibei said, "Yes, Dongyue, this fat woman is so fierce. Daqi is using 'violence against violence,' there's no other way, this is the only option." Jiaxin said, "The fat woman's man is a coward, at this moment..." "Where did Hou go?" Daqi said while driving, "I'll calm Fatty down first and see if her husband will show up. If he doesn't... Dongyue, if she makes a scene at school, just say you're my girlfriend and you've never taken any money from him. Also say he cheated you out of about 50,000 yuan, understand?" Dongyue completely obeyed Daqi at this point and immediately nodded, "Brother, I understand what you mean, I'll follow your arrangements!" Daqi said, "If her husband shows up, then we'll talk to him. But..." I'm 80% certain that the fat woman's husband won't show up. You can't return this money to him; he gave it to you voluntarily, and you'd be a fool to return it! If the school asks me, I'll insist that the man cheated us out of 50,000 yuan. Let the police investigate; we have so many bank ledgers, I can easily find a record of 50,000 yuan. She's too green to play games with me! In short, if she makes a scene at the school, we'll play along; we'd rather die than hand over the money. We'll turn the tables and everyone will say the man cheated us out of the money. "The 50,000 yuan in Dongyue. Did you all hear that clearly? Ling'er, the three of you, just be vague and say you only heard that Dongyue lent 50,000 yuan to that person." Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin immediately nodded and said, "Master, we understand!" Daqi then said to Dongyue, "Dongyue, you must stick your tongue around and say that he did borrow 50,000 yuan from you. This 50,000 yuan was given to you by your boyfriend—that is, by me. If the school asks me, I'll say that even if I die! You must stick your tongue around to him, understand?" Dongyue nodded and said, "I understand!"
Daqi, driving by, asked the four women, "Ladies, where should we eat? It's a rare outing, let's find a place to sit down." Beibei said, "Big brother, let's go to Pizza Hut for pizza." Daqi asked, "Any objections?" The four women said no, so Daqi parked the car in front of Pizza Hut. The five of them went to the Pizza Hut restaurant together. They ordered drinks and pizzas, nothing special. Beibei specifically ordered a fruit platter. The five of them ate and chatted.
Xiaoling said, "Big brother, you really have a way with things. That fat woman is definitely intimidated by you!"
Beibei said, "Brother Dadeng has been through a lot, so he always has a way of dealing with people. Hey, Master, how did you know that Fatty's car dealership only paid a year's rent?"
Daqi said, "I know from my past business experience that car dealership owners pay rent year after year. I know a boss who also runs a car dealership, so that's what I said. Haha, people with millions are so arrogant? Sigh, what kind of world is this?"
Jiaxin said, "People with hundreds of thousands of dollars are arrogant, let alone millions! Those with money are all bosses, haha."
Dongyue said, "Actually, Fatty's husband is pretty good to me. It's just that he's too timid... Sigh..."
Daqi said, "Dongyue, from now on, when you're with other people, don't be with him, understand?"
Dongyue nodded and said, "Then four years of university...and the tuition is so much?"
Daqi said, "Dongyue, don't worry about it, it's nothing. I'll lend it to you, you can return it to me whenever you want. Okay?"
Xiaoling said, "That's right, even if the four of us scrape together the money, we can still cover your tuition and living expenses."
Jiaxin said, "Dongyue, study hard. We will all help you. You have such good qualities, such a high IQ, and you sing well. You will definitely have a bright future."
Beibei said, "That's right, Dongyue, don't be afraid." After the four of them finished eating at Pizza Hut, they drove back to school.
Just as Tong Daqi had predicted, the fat woman didn't dare come to the school. Three days later, Dongyue received a call from the fat woman: "Little sister, let's let bygones be bygones. From now on, as long as you don't have anything to do with my husband, we'll be even." Dongyue said, "Okay, I will definitely leave him..." Shu Dongyue also contacted that man, who said, "I'm sorry, Dongyue, let's just pretend nothing happened..." Dongyue said, "Don't ever come looking for me again..."
And that was it. Daqi's preemptive strike was quite effective. The private investigator hired by Fatty, after three days of investigation, gave her the following reply: "That man is called Tong Daqi, the most famous interior design master in all of Rongzhou. His family background is incredibly powerful; his wife is the goddaughter of the provincial Public Security Bureau Chief. You know, this chief has no children, only this goddaughter… His movable and immovable assets are…" Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately exclaimed, "My God, how did I get involved with such a guy? I guess I'm just unlucky…"
Many troublemakers in China are like this: if you have even a little bit of connections, they definitely won't mess with you. The vast majority of troublemakers are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong! Of course, the above theory only applies to troublemakers; the majority of the Chinese people are kind, simple, and respectable!
That day, Daqi was reading in the open-shelf library as usual when someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Shu Dongyue. Dongyue was dressed very beautifully today, in a white dress and white socks. She looked pure, elegant, and had an outstanding temperament, as if all her usual seductive and flirtatiousness had been swept away.
Daqi smiled and said, "It's you?" Dongyue said, "I knew you'd be here." Shu Dongyue took the initiative to invite Daqi for coffee. They chatted and drank at the coffee shop on the first floor of the library. She told Tong Daqi everything about the fat woman and the man who had sponsored her calling her.
Dongyue said, "Big brother, thank you so much! I really don't know what I would have done if it weren't for you this time."
Daqi laughed and said, "No need to thank me, we're friends, don't be so polite. Are you preparing for your final exams?"
Dongyue nodded and said, "Yes, I don't usually attend many classes, so I need to study more for the final exams and try my best not to have to retake them."
Daqi said, "Let Xiaoling and the other two help you catch up on your studies. I'll put in a good word for you later."
Dongyue said, "Thank you, brother. You're so kind! I really don't know how to thank you."
Daqi: "Don't say things like that. Just go back to school and study hard. If you need any help from us, just tell me."
Dongyue smiled and nodded, saying, "Big brother, you were so cool when you argued with that fat woman! Only you have the confidence to fight her... I admire you so much!"
Daqi laughed and said, "She forced me to do this. I originally thought she would talk to you properly. I didn't expect her to be so shameless, so I just played along!"
Dongyue said, "Big brother, I heard your family owns a coffee shop. Can I work there during the summer vacation? I want to earn some tuition fees."
Daqi nodded and said, "Alright, come on over. Welcome, welcome!"
Dongyue said, "Thank you, big brother!"
Daqi said, "Don't thank me yet. Just focus on getting through your final exams and try not to have to retake them. Use this time to study more and review in advance. If you don't understand something, ask Xiaoling and the others." Daqi then added jokingly, "If you fail your final exams, you won't be welcome at my family's coffee shop!"
Dongyue said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pass."
After having coffee, Daqi, Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin returned to Baisha Apartment. Back at the apartment, Daqi told Xiaoling and the others about Shu Dongyue's review process. Beibei said, "Master, I'll help her. Don't worry. Dongyue is very smart; she just hasn't been studying. As long as she studies diligently, passing won't be a problem." Daqi nodded and asked them, "Do you have plans to go home for summer vacation or something else?" Xiaoling said, "I'm going to intern at Rongzhou TV Station; my dad has already contacted the relevant leaders for me." Beibei said, "I'm going to the provincial TV station; one of my dad's students is the head of the editorial department there." Jiaxin said, "I'll think about it later; I'll discuss it with my dad before deciding."
Final exams are approaching again. Everyone is starting to prepare for their finals. Meanwhile, many employers are coming to the school to recruit summer workers, and many students are signing up. Most are doing it to help ease the financial burden on their families; they can earn some money over two months. Daqi, having nothing to do, went back to the dorm to check on Li Xianming and Xie Changjin. The two were playing games until they were completely exhausted. Daqi shook his head and asked, "Class monitor, Lao Xie, final exams are coming up, aren't you studying?" Li Xianming laughed, "Hey, just passing is fine, no problem. We're going in with our 'secret weapons'." Xie Changjin added, "Boss, we're fine, don't worry about us." Occasionally, Daqi would call Shen Ping'an, since he and Zhao Banhua had moved out of the dorm a year ago. Shen Ping'an said, "Boss, we're doing well. We'll be studying soon, so we might come back to school for a few days." Daqi replied, "You're welcome back anytime!"
On Wednesday evening, Han Meng called Da Qi: "Qi-di, come over tonight. I'm so bored." So, Da Qi drove to Han Meng's house. Meanwhile, Shu Dongyue was studying with Xiao Ling and the other two, mainly with Bei Bei helping her with her lessons.
After Daqi arrived at Han Meng's house, the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, embracing each other. Daqi pulled his beautiful homeroom teacher onto his lap and said, "Sister Meng, you look so beautiful today!" Han Meng was wearing a sheer nightgown, her lingerie barely concealed, making her look extremely sexy and alluring, which made Daqi's throat itch. Just then, Han Meng's phone rang. She answered the phone, said a few words, and finally said, "Then come over."
Han Meng smiled slightly and said, "By the way, Qi Di, do you know Chen Xiaoying? She's our school's aerobics teacher."
Daqi said, "I've heard of her, but I've never seen her. I think a classmate said she's a beautiful woman. Sister Meng, why are you talking about her? Are you close to Teacher Chen?"
Han Meng laughed and said, "She and I are good friends. We graduated from the same university, she's a year younger than me. Back then, I was in the foreign languages department, and she was in the sports department, majoring in aerobics. We've known each other since university because we're from the same hometown. She just called to say she'll be coming over to visit me later."
Daqi said, "Teacher Han, I'd better take my leave now, so she doesn't see us..."
Han Meng shook her head and said, "It's okay, she's not cunning. I just told her you're my student asking for help with your final exam review, and everything was fine."
Daqi was relieved and decided not to leave. He thought to himself: I never expected that Han Meiren and Teacher Chen were good friends. They are the two most famous and beautiful female teachers in the media industry! As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," how could they possibly be good friends? Of course, Mu Ping and Qi Wen were good friends before. It seems that this theory doesn't necessarily hold true. Today, I, Daqi, will see just how beautiful Teacher Chen really is.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang at Han Meng's house, and Chen Xiaoying arrived. Han Meng welcomed her in, and the two chatted and laughed as they sat down on the sofa in the living room. Han Meng said, "Xiaoying, this is my student Tong Daqi. He's here to ask about my final exam preparation. Daqi, this is Teacher Chen." Han Meng introduced Daqi and Xiaoying to each other.
Daqi immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Hello, Teacher Chen!"
Chen Xiaoying smiled and said, "Hello, hello, please sit down, don't be shy. We're not at school, so there's no need to be so reserved." Daqi carefully looked Chen Xiaoying up and down.
Teacher Chen is so beautiful! Her features are delicate and refined, her figure is curvaceous, and her legs are long and slender. What's most distinctive is her thick ponytail. While a ponytail might look rather plain on most people, on this beauty it doesn't look outdated at all; instead, it makes her look incredibly unique, pure, and adorable! She looks younger than Han Meng, but Han Meng appears more sensual, while Chen Xiaoying looks more delicate. Han Meng went to make tea for them. Daqi and Chen Xiaoying chatted casually.
Daqi: "Teacher Chen, do you teach aerobics?"
Chen Xiaoying: "Yeah, we don't accept boys for our aerobics class. Otherwise, we would have accepted you. Hehe."
Daqi: "I couldn't be happier! It's a shame the school doesn't allow boys to apply. Otherwise, with so many beautiful girls there, which boy wouldn't want to go?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoying giggled and said, "Daqi, you're very humorous. However, we aerobics students are indeed..."

"There are quite a few very pretty ones." Han Meng walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about?" Da Qi briefly explained. Han Meng said, "Pretty teachers naturally have pretty students." Chen Xiaoying laughed, "Teacher Han, what are you saying?" Da Qi said, "Teacher Han, that's not right." Han Meng said, "What's wrong with that?" Da Qi said, "Teacher Han, you're a beauty. But your students aren't pretty!" Da Qi's words made Han Meng and Chen Xiaoying burst into laughter.
For some reason, Daqi felt energized whenever he saw Chen Xiaoying, probably because she was so beautiful. What man wouldn't get excited when he sees a beautiful woman? He might not have had any ulterior motives, but he was definitely excited.
The two women chatted casually while Daqi went into his room to watch TV. Actually, he had been listening to their conversation the whole time. He vaguely heard them talking about the principal of the media school, and it seemed the principal was quite lecherous. Of course, he only heard bits and pieces. About two hours later, Chen Xiaoying said goodbye. She said goodbye to Daqi as well, and Daqi smiled and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Chen, I'm leaving too." As soon as Chen Xiaoying left, Han Meng sat down next to Daqi and sighed. Daqi patted her back and asked, "Sister, why are you sighing all of a sudden?" Han Meng said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you, so it's better not to." Daqi said, "What is it? Tell me!" Han Meng lightly kissed Daqi and said, "I'm lamenting Xiaoying's situation and circumstances." Daqi said, "Teacher Chen, what happened to her?" Han Meng smiled and said, "Let's not talk about her, it's useless for you to know. Little brother, carry me to the bathroom." Daqi smiled and carried Han Meng into the bathroom. The two then took a hot bath. Looking at Han Meng's snow-white skin, Da Qi gently stroked her body and exclaimed, "Sister, you're so beautiful!" Han Meng said, "Little brother, give me an objective opinion, is Xiao Ying prettier, or am I?" Da Qi said, "You and she aren't the same type, it's hard to compare. You're both beautiful. She's more youthful, you're more sexy." Han Meng smiled and said, "Actually, there's another beauty in the media industry, one that you students usually don't see. According to the principal, our school has three beautiful teachers." Da Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, who's the other one? I really didn't know!"
Han Meng, while washing Da Qi's body, said, "There's also the dean's office secretary, her name is Ma Chunlan, she's the principal's secretary." Da Qi, while stroking Han Meng's breasts, paying particular attention to her sensitive nipples, said, "I don't know, we students almost never deal with the school's administrative staff." Han Meng smiled slightly and said, "You are students, actually, there are many things in the school that students shouldn't know. I wonder what the consequences would be if students knew." Da Qi said, "Sister, please tell me. I'm a mature person, not an ordinary student. Even if I knew something huge about the school, it wouldn't make a fuss." Han Meng said, "Actually, many of the teachers in our school got their jobs through connections, that is, connections in the province or connections with the dean or the party secretary."
Daqi sighed and said, "I know this very well. I've also heard teachers talk about how people get into the school. The salary and benefits at the School of Media are equivalent to those of national civil servants, and many people get in through connections. Take the library for example, eight out of ten teachers got in through connections."
Han Meng said, "Huh, how do you know so much?" Da Qi said, "It's okay to tell you. Teacher Zhong and I are good friends. He tells me everything."
Han Meng said, "Are you talking about the dean, that is, the principal's university mentor, Old Zhong?"
Daqi nodded and said, "Yes, he and I are close friends despite our age difference. Director Bai of the library is also my friend. I know the situation of the library staff very well. Teacher Zhong once said, 'Our media is a large organization with many departments and many incompetent people, especially in the library.'" Daqi continued, "I told Teacher Zhong that this is good, it helps solve the country's employment problem. Someone has to do the work."
Han Meng asked, "What did Old Man Zhong say?"
Daqi: "Teacher Zhong said, 'A bloated organization is not a good solution to employment.' I told Teacher Zhong that things always need to be done by someone, and our media is a very wealthy organization, so it doesn't matter if the organization is bloated. He laughed at me and said, 'Xiaotong, you clever little devil, you're so glib.'"
Han Meng said, "I never expected you and Professor Zhong to get along so well. He's a notoriously eccentric person. When he was the head of the journal's editorial department, he wouldn't give face to anyone, and he wouldn't publish articles that weren't good. Because of this, he offended many teachers. Later, he volunteered to go to the special collections room to read books, and the principal initially disagreed, but after he persisted, he was finally allowed to. Well, to be honest, Professor Zhong is a very straightforward person. That's undeniable."
Daqi said, "Teacher Han, why did you sigh about what we were talking about earlier?"
Han Meng said, "I'm saddened by Xiaoying's life story. She and I are best friends, we can talk about anything. She knows everything about me except what happened with you. I know about her too. Come, carry me out first, let's talk in the living room." After they dried themselves off, Daqi carried her to the living room. They began to flirt on the sofa, both completely naked. Daqi had Han Meng rest her head on his lap and said, "Teacher Han, tell me about Teacher Xiaoying." Daqi was very interested in Xiaoying.
