Chapter 62 The Fight Between the Snipe and the Clam

After Zeng Cheng returned to the dormitory, Chen Yuliang immediately came over: "Sixth Brother, what did Qi Jiahao talk to you about?"

Zeng honestly said, "He asked me to unify our dormitory's thinking and vote for him during the class monitor election."

Chen Yuliang panicked: "Sixth Brother, you didn't agree to him, did you? Actually, I also wanted to run for class monitor—you two were high school classmates, and we're roommates too!"

"That's exactly why I refused," Zeng Cheng said with a sigh. "Sigh, thinking about how well Jiahao took care of me in high school, I still feel quite bad about it."

Chen Yuliang's expression immediately improved: "Sixth Brother, you've treated everyone fairly. I'll remember that favor. I'll treat you to a big meal later!"

Zeng Cheng waved his hand: "Well, let's talk about that later."

Chen Yuliang then asked, "Then what did Qi Jiahao say about not having anything? I saw you two chatting for quite a while."

"Yes," Zeng Cheng continued truthfully, "He asked me to add all the girls in our class to the class group he created after the freshman orientation tomorrow. I had already refused him once, so I agreed."

"Sixth brother, did this guy really take good care of you in high school?" Chen Yuliang subtly sowed discord. "Isn't he just using you as a tool? Why doesn't Qi Jiahao do such tedious things himself?"

"Well... he's going to help Teacher Zhong organize the new student registration forms."

"Holy crap—"

Chen Yuliang's heart skipped a beat.

He thought to himself that it was good that he had managed to get some information, otherwise Qi Jiahao would have gotten there first again.

Qi Jiahao wants to go to Teacher Zhong's place to make a good impression, so he has to go too!

With this thought in mind, he decided to use moral blackmail against Zeng Chengyi.

"Sixth Brother, you've already agreed to help Qi Jiahao, could you help me too?"

"Uh, what do you need help with?"

Zeng Cheng looked puzzled.

Chen Yuliang then explained that he had gone to the student affairs office in advance to pick up the military training guide, intending to distribute it to everyone after the freshman orientation meeting, but he also wanted to help Teacher Zhong organize the materials...

Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes: "So you're just using me as a tool too?"

Chen Yuliang quickly tried to argue, saying, "How could that be? I'm not Qi Jiahao."

Zeng Cheng felt like laughing.

It's like two Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting, each using their own schemes, treating him, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, as a tool. But he, this little Kara, is actually a Golden Core master hiding his true cultivation level.

Trying hard to suppress his smile, Zeng Cheng agreed, "Okay..."

Distributing military training guidelines to everyone is another tedious and physically demanding task.

But it doesn't matter.

I believe the eyes of the masses are discerning.

He did all these hard jobs without complaint, and everyone will see that. It will definitely be a plus when he's nominated for class monitor.

So, both Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang are people who have some skills, but not many.

I didn't even understand the book.

Neither "The Thick Black Theory" nor "Game Theory" can compare to the "mass line."

Silent all night.

As the large golden sphere slowly rose, the timeline moved to September 1st, and the Class of 2009 officially began their new semester.

The prospective college students also completed the identity switch in a daze, removing the word "prospective".

Around 8:30, Zeng Cheng had just gotten up when Qi Jiahao knocked on the door and handed him a large bag of snacks.

After finding out the reason, Chen Yuliang decisively left the house.

Half an hour later, when Zeng Cheng arrived at the classroom where the freshman orientation meeting was being held, Chen Yuliang was panting as he carried two cases of mineral water.

Upon seeing Zeng Cheng, he waved and said, "Sixth Brother, please help distribute this to the classmates later!"

Zeng Cheng: "..."

Qi Jiahao buys snacks while you buy water; you two are really going all out for the class monitor position.

There were still about ten minutes before the freshman orientation meeting was scheduled to begin.

Zeng Cheng thought for a moment, then got up and went to the classroom where Yu Baiwei's Economics Class 1 was having a meeting.

Finance and economics are the two flagship majors of the School of Economics at Sichuan University. The former is more practice-oriented, while the latter emphasizes theory.

Yu Baiwei clearly prefers academic pursuits and research.

A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination, and Zeng Cheng quickly spotted Yu Baiwei—after all, this great beauty was radiant.

Yu Baiwei and her three roommates sat in a row, occasionally turning her head to chat with them for a bit.

Zeng Cheng was relieved.

The snack strategy was quite successful.

Perhaps it was some kind of premonition—Yu Baiwei suddenly turned her head, and her gaze met Zeng Cheng's, who was standing at the back door.

Her facial expression instantly brightened, a genuine smile appeared on her face, two shallow dimples emerged on her cheeks, and her crescent-shaped eyes were filled with joyful light.

After making eye contact for two seconds, she gave Zeng Cheng a peace sign and kept waving it near her cheek.

[Tch, they're college students already, how can they still be so childish?]

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but complain, but his body involuntarily flashed a peace sign at Yu Baiwei.

It must be that his competitive spirit has been ignited.

Yu Baiwei raised her left hand again, making two scissor gestures with her only good friend, a hint of smugness on her face.

I have two pairs of scissors.

Yu Baiwei is competitive, and Zeng Cheng also has a competitive spirit.

He decisively made two fists.

Yu Baiwei's mouth dropped open—you can do that?

Just as she was about to turn the scissors into a handkerchief, Zeng Cheng didn't give her the chance.

After giving a smug look, the guy whistled as he walked towards his classroom—the freshman orientation was about to begin.

Yu Baiwei couldn't help but pout.

It's so annoying.

Ye Qianqian witnessed the entire process and was completely dumbfounded.

Yu Baiwei has a cool and aloof beauty in both appearance and temperament. Who would have thought that she would have such a childish side?

Who was that guy just now? Was he Weiwei's boyfriend? But he wasn't very handsome—shouldn't a princess be with a prince? This guy looked more like a stable boy!

Zeng Cheng definitely doesn't know what Ye Qianqian is thinking. If he did, he would definitely give her a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

Hey classmate, your eyes are so badly blind, why don't we just donate them!

Shortly after Zeng Cheng returned to his classroom, counselor Yan Guodong and class assistant Zhong Lingyu entered the classroom one after the other.

Yan Guodong is going to address six classes, so he'll definitely keep it brief.

After briefly explaining the important points for new students, he handed the podium to Zhong Lingyu.

The students in the class, regardless of gender, all looked at Zhong Lingyu with amazement.

Today, Ms. Zhong is wearing a sky-blue silk shirt with an elegant bow at the neckline, which accentuates her near-perfect bust curves.

She wore a white midi skirt, but it couldn't hide her two full and fair long legs at all.

She wore a pair of pointed high heels, a perfect blend of intellect and sexiness, yet exuding a cool and aloof aura that kept people at a distance.

In terms of pure stats, Zhong Lingyu is definitely no match for Yu Baiwei, the supermodel monster, and is probably on par with Xia Ning.

But beautiful women truly each have their own unique charm.

Just like some classmates like Liu Yifei, it doesn't stop them from drooling over Fan Bingbing.

There's not much to say about the freshman orientation; the process should be pretty much the same for all universities across the country.

Chung Ling-yu followed the established procedure, standing on the podium, showing off her long legs, and saying some platitudes such as "Welcome students to university and start a new chapter in your lives".

The last item was a self-introduction.

At first, it was all monotonous and boring.

Everyone went up to the stage in order of their student ID number, said their name, their hometown, and maybe added a sentence or two about their special skills and hobbies.

When it came to Qi Jiahao, this guy promptly added, "I served as class monitor for three years in high school and vice president of the student council for two years. I have extensive experience in serving my classmates."

No one who can get into the School of Economics at Sichuan University is stupid, so everyone understands—this guy wants to be the class monitor.

Chen Yuliang followed suit, saying that he served as the Youth League branch secretary for a total of six years, including junior high and high school.

This is equivalent to fighting in a boxing ring.

While the situation wasn't exactly tense, the two had certainly made their competition public.

The other students were starting to feel annoyed.

I think Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang are too pragmatic.

That's right. Most young people think they can remain untainted by the mud and naturally dislike the greasy world of adults.

When it came to Zeng Cheng, he initially went through the formalities of introducing his name and place of origin.

The key point is his concluding remarks.

"Both Qi and Chen are excellent; one served as class monitor for three years, and the other as Youth League secretary for six years. But I'm not bad either! Since elementary school, I've been an ordinary citizen for a full twelve years!"

Many students in the audience laughed.

Even Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang—whose political acumen far surpasses that of the average student—did not find anything wrong with Zeng Cheng's words.

However, Zeng Cheng's speech was far more effective than those of Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang.

First of all, he has a good sense of humor, which is definitely a big plus.

Secondly, he emphasized his identity as an "ordinary citizen," which is called "mingling with the masses," essentially using Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang as stepping stones.

So after their self-introductions, Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang gave their classmates the impression that they were capable but also very ambitious.

Zeng Cheng's words, true to his name, are truly sincere.

Zhong Lingyu seemed to be deep in thought.

Today's Zeng Cheng is quite different from the one she remembers.

So, this guy was actually putting on a show today? Then he must have had something to gain...

Chung Ling-yu is still smart.

After thinking for a while, an idiom popped into my head.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

After the freshman orientation ended, Zeng Cheng called to the students in the class who were about to leave.

"Everyone, wait a minute—"

"Qi Jiahao created a class group chat, everyone please join; Chen Yuliang picked up the military training manual from the student affairs office beforehand, I'll distribute it to everyone now!"

"In addition, Qi has prepared snacks for everyone, and Chen has prepared bottled water. Please don't refuse them; they are all from the heart."

"I'm not as meticulous as the two of them, so I can only do errands."

At this time, Qi Jiahao and Chen Yuliang had not yet left.

The two felt quite comfortable after hearing Zeng Cheng's words.

Qi Jiahao was very pleased with himself.

[Heh, Zeng Cheng, that guy, I've completely got him wrapped around my little finger. Not only does he do all the hard labor for me, but he doesn't even take a single credit. He's a fucking idiot and a complete fool!]

Chen Yuliang was somewhat moved.

[Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Lao Liu to be such a straightforward guy. I'll definitely take good care of him when I become class monitor!]

Half an hour later, Zeng Cheng added all the students in the class to the class group and distributed military training manuals to each of them.

Throughout the process, he worked tirelessly and patiently.

So after returning to the dormitory, the girls in Finance Class 1 started discussing Zeng Cheng.

"That boy named Zeng Cheng, he must be the most handsome in our class, right?"

"I think so. He's tall, has fair skin, and a good temperament. Plus, he's really patient. He handed out snacks, bottled water, and military training manuals, and he didn't forget to remind us of the precautions for military training. Yet, he didn't seem anxious at all and remained gentle and mild-mannered."

"Yeah, compared to Zeng Cheng, that Qi Jiahao and that Chen Yuliang are way too ambitious. They only know how to get attention from Teacher Zhong, but they dump all the hard work on Zeng Cheng..."

"That's how it is. These two boys are going too far. They want to be class monitor? Ha! I wouldn't choose either of them, not even a dog!"

Similar discussions took place in almost every girls' dormitory of Finance Class 1.

This is exactly the effect Zeng Cheng wanted.

Qi Jiahao created the class group chat, and he also bought the snacks.

Chen Yuliang picked up the military training manual and also bought the bottled water.

But in the end, all the benefits and gratitude went to Zeng Cheng.

All I can say is that Brother Cheng truly lives up to his reputation as a 1991 Longjing tea—a seasoned veteran.

Whether it's Qi Jiahao or Chen Yuliang, they're both so cunning that they're not even worthy of carrying their shoes!

Of course, not everyone appreciated Zeng Cheng's kindness—a girl in a dormitory was clamoring with crickets at him.

"Xiaomi, what do you think of Zeng Cheng? I saw that the people in the next dorm have a very high opinion of him. They say he's the most handsome guy in our class, and when they talk about him, their eyes light up. They're practically treating him like a god."

The girl who spoke was named Qu Xiaoxiao, and her looks were above average.

The girl next to Qu Xiaoxiao is named Mi Lai. She is significantly more beautiful than Qu Xiaoxiao and would be a contender for the title of "campus beauty" in many colleges at Sichuan University.

Of course, this doesn't include the School of Economics—after all, it has the supermodel Yu Da Meiren (Yu Da Meiren).

"Zeng Cheng? He's just so-so—"

Mi Lai chuckled as she spoke.

She's the kind of girl who knows how to dress well.

I learned how to do makeup in high school.

Today, when I attended the freshman orientation, I wore a tank top that barely covered my navel, but my fair, slender waist and flat stomach were exposed without any hesitation.

Girls like this are never short of suitors; they're used to being the center of attention, so their standards naturally rise.

"Xiaoxiao, don't you think this guy is actually the most hypocritical? He's all friendly and harmless to everyone on the surface, but only he knows what he's really thinking!"

Putting aside whether Mi Lai's assessment of Zeng Cheng is accurate or not, Zeng Cheng doesn't even know her, so why would she have a problem with Zeng Cheng, or even harbor resentment towards him?

She was dressed so sexy and beautiful today that almost all the boys in the class were staring at her, especially Wang Zicong, who was practically drooling. Mi Lai felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Zeng Cheng's gaze remained indifferent, even carrying a hint of deeply hidden arrogance.

This is what deeply stung Milai.
