Chapter 131: Do You Think You're Qualified to Isolate Me?

"Still working out to keep in shape; do you think I don't know what these hints mean?"

Yang Tianxing said silently to himself, but he couldn't struggle too obviously, for fear of being noticed by others.

One was the college student union president, one was the minister of the college student union's external relations department, the woman was the charming broadcaster from the radio station, and there were some spectators in front.

If he were truly found out, Yang Tianxing wouldn't know how to explain it.

"I was forced into this; actually, I'm a victim too. This is blatant workplace sexual harassment."

If Yang Tianxing said that, it's likely no classmate would believe him.

Because Gu Bo'an is a tall, rich, and handsome guy; if there were any harassment, it would be him doing the harassing.

Besides, this kind of campus love triangle is definitely a subject that gossip-loving students enjoy; a beauty, a tall rich handsome guy, a student union president, and a small-town boy realizing his ideals through his own efforts—it basically satisfies all the elements of a melodramatic story.

Yang Tianxing certainly didn't want to become a joke; just then, the deputy minister of the external relations department, Shen Hao, handed over a list of new recruits, and Yang Tianxing hurriedly stood up, which counted as escaping from Deng Yidi's "clutches."

However, after flipping through it, Yang Tianxing frowned and said, "How come all the recruit spots are completely filled?"

Shen Hao, a sophomore in the Information and Finance Department, replied, "Some people quit the association this new semester, so we just went ahead and filled them."

Yang Tianxing wasn't so easily fooled: "Judging by the timeline, when you recruited these members, I was already the minister of the external relations department. Without my nod on this kind of thing, who approved you to do this?"

"Slap."

Yang Tianxing threw the list directly in front of Shen Hao.

The people opposite hadn't expected Yang Tianxing to start a confrontation the moment they met instead of greeting them politely, and for a moment, they didn't react.

"Tianxing is establishing his authority."

Gu Bo'an said quietly to Deng Yidi, taking the opportunity to show off: "If a parachuted minister like him doesn't establish his prestige first, he's very likely to be isolated in these big departments of the college student union. But don't worry, I will definitely support your class monitor."

Hearing this, Deng Yidi shook her head silently and said, "First of all, our class monitor may not need your support; secondly, he might not be trying to establish authority, just simply discussing the matter as it stands."

"Lastly."

Deng Yidi said with a smile, "Regarding isolation, who knows who is isolating whom?"

Seeing his "intended girlfriend" support Yang Tianxing like this, Gu Bo'an felt a bit jealous: "It's hard to say with these things. Often, big shots from the departments end up wilting once they come to the college level because there are too many cliques in the college; even I, as president, find it tiring."

"I don't think so."

Deng Yidi smiled with her eyes curved: "You are very capable at handling all sorts of things; I admire you so much."

Receiving the praise, Gu Bo'an was instantly overjoyed: "Don't worry, I hit it off with Junior Brother Yang, and I will definitely support him to the end."

At this moment, another deputy minister of the external relations department, Chi Jing, stepped out to smooth things over: "We weren't familiar with you at that time, so we didn't think to report to you, but now that they've already been recruited, we can't exactly re-select them, right?"

Yang Tianxing stared at Shen Hao and Chi Jing, then looked at the few members behind them, and only then said slowly, "Re-selecting might not be impossible, but the impact would be quite large, and it would also hurt your face and dignity."

"Let's leave it at this for now. Although we are from different departments and different majors, since we are going to work together, our hearts should be set on the same goal."

Yang Tianxing gave a stern and serious warning; he could see the trickery in this list, but he was prepared to stop at the point, hoping that things would be peaceful afterward.

However, these few sentences made Shen Hao look very uncomfortable and somewhat unconvinced. Yang Tianxing pretended not to see: "At 7 PM tonight, I'll be waiting for everyone at Taoranju in Hejiaying. As your minister, I'm treating you to a meal; I hope everyone will do me the honor of attending so we can get to know each other."

After this somewhat awkward meeting ended and the others had left the conference room, Gu Bo'an said, "Shen Hao is quite capable; he was originally being groomed as the minister of the external relations department. It's just that you came over and took the position, so he's probably a bit unconvinced."

Yang Tianxing smiled and didn't say a word. So what if he's unconvinced? The world keeps spinning regardless of who is there.

Once Shen Hao left the administration building, he immediately said to Chi Jing, "Who does Yang Tianxing think he is? He just did well in the Humanities and Social Sciences Department, but if he wants to point fingers in the college student union, the waters here run deep."

Chi Jing was also not very happy: "Yang Tianxing said re-selecting might not be impossible. If we all just quit, let's see how he manages the work of the external relations department."

"Exactly, and he said that specifically in front of President Gu."

Shen Hao turned his head to look at the others: "I'm not going to dinner tonight. Who among you is going?"

Chi Jing shook her head: "I'm not going either. You guys shouldn't go either, give him some psychological pressure."

……………

At seven in the evening, Yang Tianxing appeared at the entrance of Taoranju in Hejiaying, smoking while waiting for people, but until seven-thirty, he didn't see a single soul.

Yang Tianxing gave a cold laugh, extinguished his cigarette, and returned to school to find Hua Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, I want to add a burden to you."

The next morning, all personnel of the college student union's external relations department received a meeting notice from President Gu Bo'an.

Shen Hao called Chi Jing and said with a smile, "See that? Yang Tianxing got President Gu to mediate."

"Then we shouldn't go too far; we still have to give the president some face. Hopefully, Yang Tianxing will learn his lesson and be more obedient in the future."

Chi Jing said triumphantly, feeling very satisfied.

Actually, Gu Bo'an didn't know what Yang Tianxing was going to do; he was just helping to notify them, and he specifically ran over to ask Yang Tianxing: "How was your meal last night?"

"Not great. No one was willing to come; my words as a minister don't seem to carry much weight," Yang Tianxing said calmly.

Gu Bo'an could only console him: "They don't know your capabilities well enough yet; you'll come to understand each other as you spend more time together."

"I don't have that much time to get to know them."

Yang Tianxing smiled: "I asked you to come over this time just to be a witness; I'm planning to fire them all and recruit new people."

"Fuck, are you crazy? What about the work of the external relations department?"

Gu Bo'an was startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Yang Tianxing pointed to the entrepreneurship base: "It's nothing more than a few thousand yuan in sponsorship for events. My Rocket 101 will cover it entirely. Is that enough?"

Gu Bo'an was stunned for a moment; he had forgotten that Yang Tianxing was also a model student entrepreneur. Doing this didn't seem to violate any regulations.

"But replacing everyone would have too big an impact."

Gu Bo'an said stammeringly.

"I don't have the time to play games with them. I said yesterday, whoever doesn't listen gets replaced; if they all don't listen, I'll replace them all. They want to rely on numbers to isolate me? I'll isolate the lot of them!"

Yang Tianxing looked disdainful: "Damn it, there are plenty of two-legged college students; I can just recruit some from the part-time student pool to fill the spots."

Only then did Gu Bo'an understand what Deng Yidi had said; Yang Tianxing was truly prepared to isolate the dozen of them all by himself.

After Shen Hao, Chi Jing, and the others arrived and heard Yang Tianxing announce this decision on the spot, they initially thought Yang Tianxing was just speaking out of anger.

However, when they saw Yang Tianxing actually printing recruitment advertisements, they began to panic and started looking for all sorts of connections to inquire about the situation.

In the end, even Sun Nan and Guan Shuman found out, yet Yang Tianxing's attitude did not change in the slightest before these two bigwigs: "Either you dismiss me as Minister, or you dismiss all of them."

"I guarantee to Secretary Sun and Teacher Guan here that dismissing them will not affect the academy's sponsorship activities."

Sun Nan could only say in the end: "You had better build the framework early; we can't rely on 101 for every single activity, or others will think our Finance Academy relies on 101 to survive."

Just like that, the most earth-shattering event since the Student Union's founding occurred: the new Minister of the External Liaison Department directly fired all the deputy ministers and staff members under him, leaving not a single one.

For a time, no matter which cadre in the Academy Student Union heard the name "Yang Tianxing," whether they were convinced or not, they would all secretly mutter, "Badass."

Yang Tianxing didn't take it seriously at all; he pulled Hua Xiaoyu, the Minister of the External Liaison Department of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department, over to be a deputy minister—anyway, there was no rule saying one couldn't hold concurrent posts.

Hua Xiaoyu's ability was truly capable, and within a few days, she had found all the new staff members.

"Xiaoyu, you need to pay attention to rest; you've worked yourself into dark circles under your eyes."

Yang Tianxing said with concern.

"Don't, Boss Yang, with your concern, there's no telling what other tasks I'll be given."

Hua Xiaoyu did not appreciate it at all.

Yang Tianxing was not ashamed either, grinning as he took the list of new staff members Hua Xiaoyu presented, which recorded their majors and names.

Suddenly, Yang Tianxing stopped at a familiar name: "How did you recruit her?"

Hua Xiaoyu leaned over to take a look: "Zheng Xuan is quite good, and her attitude is very proactive; besides, you wouldn't be used to not having a beauty by your side, would you?"

Yang Tianxing felt somewhat helpless: "I am not King Zhou of Shang; who asked you to act on your own initiative? This damn thing is a huge trouble."
