Chapter 130: Bad Woman

"I owe you that much money?"

Shao Ziyang was very surprised on the phone.

"What, you still don't believe me?"

Yang Tianxing said: "Do you want me to break it down for you? 800 for the Western restaurant, 1000 for Jiang Mumu's driving school registration, 600 for the living expenses I lent you..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Shao Ziyang said gloomily: "Every time you say it, my heart aches once."

Yang Tianxing smiled: "Then either pay me back now, or hurry up and arrange for me to meet Little Zhiliao."

Shao Ziyang was a bit worried: "I lied to Little Zhiliao this time and spent her trust; she might not believe me next time."

"What do you mean by lied to her? You ask her out to eat, then I arrive a little late on purpose and pretend we met halfway—wouldn't that work?"

Yang Tianxing spoke in a tone of being disappointed that his friend wouldn't live up to his expectations.

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Shao Ziyang grumbled: "Little Zhiliao is very smart; she'll definitely guess that we planned it in advance."

"Ziyang."

Yang Tianxing sighed: "Do you know why, after so long, you still haven't even kissed Jiang Mumu's little mouth?"

"Why?"

"Because you don't understand women. I go to such lengths to get close to Little Zhiliao, creating difficulties even when there aren't any, just to manifest a sense of reluctance to part."

Yang Tianxing said as he walked: "As long as Little Zhiliao still has feelings for me, once she senses this spirit of mine, she won't blame you—she'll be very happy."

Shao Ziyang finally understood, but he felt a bit unhappy after being struck down by Yang Tianxing: "You always say you have high emotional intelligence, so teach me: Jiang Mumu always says she's going to take a shower and then stops replying to messages. What should I do?"

"The best way is to just dump her."

"What if I can't bear to dump her?"

"Then you really are a bootlicker."

Yang Tianxing lectured: "Next time Jiang Mumu says she's going to take a shower, just reply: 'Washing up so clean, are you trying to appear all fragrant in my dreams?'"

"Isn't that too direct?" Shao Ziyang asked with some trepidation.

Yang Tianxing chuckled: "It depends on the person. If you sent that to Little Zhiliao, you'd be on her blacklist one hundred percent, but if you send it to Jiang Mumu, she'll definitely reply."

At past 9 o'clock that evening, Shao Ziyang called to tell Yang Tianxing that Jiang Mumu had indeed replied to his message.

……………

In the days that followed, as the freshman military training began, various clubs within the college and the department began recruiting new members.

At the same time, the recruitment actually meant the departure of many "old-timers."

The original Humanities and Social Sciences Department Student Union President, Jiang Minling, was a senior and stepped down; Vice President Zhang Wei succeeded as president without any competitive pressure.

Yang Tianxing skipped the department head position and became vice president directly; no one raised any objections.

The other vice president was the former Publicity Department Head, Tong Li, a senior student from an ethnic minority who could sing and dance well.

As for the External Liaison Department, Xun Can, who was already a junior, stepped down while holding the title of department head; in fact, this was thanks to Yang Tianxing yielding the position, so Xun Can's resume listed "Department Head" instead of "Vice Department Head."

Sophomore Hua Xiaoyu succeeded to the position of Humanities and Social Sciences Department External Liaison Department Head; she was responsible and the most capable, and she was also a lackey trusted by Yang Tianxing.

Overall, things within the Humanities and Social Sciences Department were relatively easy to arrange; after all, Yang Tianxing had been hanging around there for a year, the president was his old superior, and even He Yulin had joined the External Liaison Department as a deputy head to pad her resume.

However, the College Student Union side was more complicated; after all, people from over a dozen departments of the Finance College were gathered together, and although Yang Tianxing was the External Liaison Department Head, it was his first time dealing with these cliques.

Yang Tianxing had originally been called over by Gu Bo'an for a meeting, where Guan Shuman was gathering the Youth League Committee and College Student Union cadres to discuss the sports meet.

The sports meet should have been held in the first half of the year during spring, but it was postponed due to respiratory illnesses, so the Finance College decided to make up for this sports meet in the mild autumn.

After the meeting, Gu Bo'an said: "You're a department head after all; go meet the deputy heads and staff members below later."

Yang Tianxing thought that was true; he couldn't go on without even knowing his subordinates' names.

"Then I'll send you over."

Gu Bo'an said: "The External Liaison Department is the core department of the College Student Union; many activities rely on them to secure sponsorships, so it's inevitable that some are a bit arrogant."

Yang Tianxing initially defended them: "It's fine for capable people to have a bad temper. I have a girl under me named Hua Xiaoyu who has a very fierce temper and sometimes even catches me to roast me, but as long as I speak up, she does her job conscientiously."

Gu Bo'an sighed: "There is one more thing I'm worried about: I'm worried they won't listen to the commands of a 'parachuted' department head like you."

Yang Tianxing smiled: "Whoever doesn't listen, I'll replace them. If they all don't listen, I'll replace them all. I won't spoil any of them."

Gu Bo'an thought Yang Tianxing was joking, so he didn't take it to heart.

Halfway there, they saw Deng Yidi; she was currently affiliated with the broadcasting station and was also a member of the College Student Union.

This "scum girl" understood the charm of a woman's body very well, so she had permed her hair during the summer break and even had a few strands dyed wine-red; her fair, tender thighs were clad in a short skirt, and she habitually wore alluring lipstick—every part of her was increasing her temptation.

Gu Bo'an couldn't move his feet the moment he saw Deng Yidi: "I'm accompanying Yang Tianxing to meet the External Liaison Department members; do you want to come along?"

Deng Yidi said with a smile: "That depends on whether Department Head Yang allows it."

Yang Tianxing didn't really want to bother: "Your legs are on your own body; go if you want to."

Gu Bo'an was very unhappy when he heard this: "Can you be a bit friendlier to ladies? Everyone in the college knows I'm pursuing Deng Yidi."

"What stage are you at now?" Yang Tianxing asked.

"We've already held hands."

Gu Bo'an probably also felt it was too slow, so he explained for himself: "I'm taking it slow and steady; there's no need to rush."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself that he had clearly been rejected when trying to get a hotel room, yet he had the nerve to make excuses, so he patted Gu Bo'an on the shoulder: "Keep it up."

Gu Bo'an went to comfort Deng Yidi: "Yang Tianxing's temper isn't very good; don't take it to heart."

Deng Yidi covered her mouth and smiled: "He was my class monitor for a year; I naturally know whether his temper is good or not."

This reaction confused Gu Bo'an, who muttered to himself: "I haven't seen Deng Yidi be this easy to talk to before."

The treatment for the College Student Union was much better than the department student union; they even had an exclusive conference room in the administrative building.

After the three of them walked in and sat down, the deputy heads and staff of the College External Liaison Department all received notice and arrived.

The External Liaison Department of the academy has a total of 14 authorized positions, and the current two deputy directors, one male and one female, are both sophomores.

Gu Bo'an first introduced the identity of Yang Tianxing, and then gave some words of encouragement to the staff of the External Liaison Department.

Yang Tianxing was watching from the side, guessing that he would have to say a few words in a moment, when he suddenly felt a warmth on his thigh under the table.

He looked down.

Deng Yidi had somehow placed her hand on his thigh.

Yang Tianxing looked at Deng Yidi; not only did she not pull her hand back, she even playfully scratched him.

After Gu Bo'an finished speaking, he leaned over and said to Yang Tianxing: "In a moment, let the deputy directors introduce the situation in the department first..."

"Ahem... alright."

Yang Tianxing coughed unnaturally; Deng Yidi deliberately tilted her body slightly to block Gu Bo'an's line of sight, her palm still resting on Yang Tianxing's thigh.

But this was also stimulating; there were so many people sitting opposite, especially with a suitor right beside them—this scumbag girl was truly bold.

Not only that, Gu Bo'an even discussed with Deng Yidi: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Tonight?"

Deng Yidi thought for a moment: "Let's keep it simple, soy milk and fried dough sticks, maybe add an egg at most; I want to exercise and keep in shape."
