Chapter 44 The Big Rat
Chapter 44 The Big Rat
As Chen Che walked out of the university activity center, only one thought remained in his mind.
Damn it, you bastard, you've been babbling on and on for so long, isn't your goal just to steal my coins?
This is the first time I've ever encountered someone soliciting bribes from students, in my entire life combined.
Back in his dorm that evening, Chen Che remained silent, one hand propped on the table, the other supporting his chin, staring intently at the power strip on the table, lost in thought.
Ma Xu had just finished a game and stood up to pace back and forth in the dormitory to loosen his muscles. Seeing Chen Che's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Chezi, what's wrong? You look so pale. Did something happen?"
"Can you tell me? If you can, tell me, and we'll help you figure something out." Ma Xu said sincerely. He had always treated his roommates with sincerity and without reservation.
"Sigh, what big things can college students encounter?" Chen Che shook his head. "It's just that I have a friend who was blackmailed by a teacher at his school, and now he doesn't know what to do."
"Huh? Is that so?!" Ma Xu looked shocked and scratched his head. "I've never encountered anything like this before. All the teachers who taught me were very nice and never did anything so heinous."
The vast majority of teachers have basic professional ethics and conduct. Whether they get along well with students and treat them gently, or they are serious and demanding, it is just a difference in teaching style. They are all caring for and loving their students.
But no matter how you look at it, being a teacher is just a job and it doesn't determine a person's character.
"Well, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest, it's just bad luck that my friend ran into one."
"Hmm..." Ma Xu thought it over and over, and finally said, "Then we should definitely report it to the school. The school will definitely not allow something that damages the school's atmosphere and affects the campus's image to happen."
"Hmm..." Chen Che nodded and echoed, "Actually, that's what I thought too."
When Ma Ge returned to his seat and started the next game, Chen Che's relieved expression immediately vanished.
Report it.
It's actually quite simple.
Unfortunately, in many cases, you won't get the response you expect just because you report it.
Moreover, even if you successfully report someone and the person you reported is dismissed, how do you know that their successor will necessarily be a fair and impartial person?
Following this line of thought, one can understand why some people choose to compromise.
While Chen Che was still undecided, a knocking sound came from the dormitory door.
"Coming, coming, stop knocking." Ma Ge had just started his game and, annoyed, took off his headphones. He opened the door and saw a sophomore followed by several boys, all wearing armbands. Bai Mu was among them, looking arrogant, and spoke on behalf of the people who had entered:
"We are the officers of our college's Discipline Department, and this is our vice minister." Bai Mu respectfully gestured with his hand to a boy standing a few feet in front of him.
"Everyone, say hello to the senior!"
However, dormitory 404 was deserted, and no one paid any attention to them, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Even the senior standing at the front whispered to Bai Mu next to him, "Bai, there's no need to make such a fuss."
Bai Mu shook his head dismissively, "Senior, it's alright, I can handle it." Then, with an arrogant expression, he continued:
"Our discipline department's responsibility is to inspect the hygiene and morale of our male dormitories on behalf of the college and counselors."
"Therefore, seeing us is like seeing the dean, like seeing the counselor."
"Look at our faces. From now on, when we come here, it's for room checks. Keep an eye on your armbands. No one but us can control you, understand?"
Still, nobody paid them any attention.
Bai Mu took a deep breath. It seemed he needed to increase his intensity so they would realize the weight of his words.
Bai Mu toured the dormitory and gave some pointers.
"The toothbrush cups need to be arranged neatly in a row on the sink, understand? What kind of look is this, leaving them so messy? Points deducted."
"And the towels, they have to be at the same height front and back. These are hanging haphazardly, points deducted."
"Hey, Wang Guangyu, look at you. You're such a grown man, and you still like watching anime? You even bought an anime girl poster and put it here. What kind of image is this? Take it away."
Old Wang, who had initially seemed indifferent, became displeased after hearing Bai Mu's words. How dare Bai Mu speak disrespectfully to his beloved Ogiso Setsuna! He immediately switched to a fighting stance, retorting with a serious and earnest expression: "I know that they are dots, they are data."
So what is that girl you like? Protein? Calcium? Arguing is foolish; what matters is a heart full of love.
"Well……"
Bai Mu was speechless for a moment, then immediately switched to the next target.
"Ma Xu, no offense, but you're really good at hiding trash bags."
Brother Ma was taken aback. The trash bag was right there, he just hadn't thrown it away yet. How could it be considered hidden? He said with dissatisfaction, "Bai Mu, we're all classmates, there's no need to nitpick like this."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu immediately straightened his face: "In class, we are classmates, no doubt about it, but now I am standing here as a student council member. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and be accountable to the advisor and the college."
Furthermore, this is a requirement for dormitory standardization, which affects our college's evaluation for civilized dormitories. I'm not trying to cause trouble, so please understand and cooperate with my work.
With Bai Mu brandishing his tiger-skin banner, Ma Xu swallowed his anger and shut his mouth.
Of course, having been to dormitory 404, I'll definitely have to make sure Chen Che gets his bed.
Bai Mu looked him up and down for a long time but couldn't find a good angle. He could only frown and say, "Chen Che, I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't even fold your blankets. Did you waste your military training?"
Chen Che didn't even turn his head.
"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
Chen Che was already annoyed, and Bai Mu's troublemaking was like walking into a trap. So he gave him a cold look as if he were trash, snorted, and ignored him.
Bai Mu immediately bristled, switching to his Spinosaurus form and hissing, "Chen Che, what the hell do you mean?"
"Always compete with those who share your interests, but never argue with fools."
Who are you calling an idiot?
"Let me tell you, the dormitory hygiene scoring standards are in my hands. I can decide how to deduct points for hygiene. As long as I don't agree, you can forget about getting the civilized dormitory award." Bai Mu had an arrogant attitude, almost looking down at Chen Che with disdain.
Chen Che was taken aback, then pointed at Bai Mu's nose and said, "Dare you say it three more times?"
Bai Mu sneered, "Even if I say it three times, or even thirty thousand times, what difference would it make?"
"You can forget about getting the 'Civilized Dormitory' designation unless I agree!"
"As long as I don't agree... no, are you kidding me?"
When Bai Mu said it for the second time, he realized that if Chen Che told him to say it three times, he would really be a fool.
Just as he was about to lash out, Chen Che suddenly adopted a humble attitude: "Brother, I was wrong. I won't dare to contradict you anymore."
"Huh? Ah?" Chen Che suddenly backed down, and Bai Mu hadn't even reacted yet.
Chen Che, who had always been at odds with him, suddenly became well-behaved?
I suddenly felt a little out of sorts. I had lost my only rival, won just like that, and was now invincible. I even felt a bit lonely.
So he patted Chen Che on the shoulder and said, "Chen Che, remember this well: in our Civil Engineering College, if you're a dragon, you have to coil up for me; if you're a tiger, you have to lie down for me."
"Okay, brother." Chen Che nodded obediently.
Bai Mu nodded in satisfaction and led his group away from dormitory 404.
After they left, Ma Xu finally let out a frustrated sigh: "Sigh, it wasn't necessary, really not necessary."
"Chezi, are you alright? We're classmates, there's no need to make a scene like this."
Chen Che waved his hand and comforted him, "It's alright, Brother Ma. What goes around comes around."
Chen Che walked out of the dormitory, picked up his phone, and silently dialed a number.
A moment later, the call was connected, and a middle-aged man's voice came through.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, what's up?"
"Oh, Secretary Yan, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I have something to report to you."
"I always thought that our School of Civil Engineering was a happy place where brothers and sisters were friendly and everyone lived in harmony."
I am especially honored to be a part of our college and to contribute my modest efforts to its development.
But tonight, I saw something that really disappointed me...
"Yes, I never expected him to be this kind of person..."
"I still have the audio recording I just made; I'll send it to you..."
