Chapter 21: Endure for a Moment and the More You Think, the Angrier You Get

Zhang Liye, the general manager of the Chang'an district for Deep Express, was temporarily unwilling to change the general agent for the Finance Institute, but he did propose a collection requirement of 100 packages per day.

Yang Tianxing did not simply want to fulfill this number; when negotiating cooperation with others, how could one always follow the other party's line of thought? One must have one's own ideas.

After the new semester officially began, various clubs in the school started recruiting new members, but since there was a lot of business in the class, Yang Tianxing discussed it with He Yulin: "I want to run for the Student Union recently; please take on more of the daily work."

He Yulin was a bit confused: "Aren't you going to do business? Why are you so active about these things?"

To dispel He Yulin's concerns, Yang Tianxing explained earnestly: "Doing business is about resource exchange. I have neither money nor resources right now. If I want to improve my status in the eyes of others, I can only use these things to bolster myself. Only by reaching the effect where quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes can I have room to bargain."

"But I want to join the Student Union too," He Yulin said with dissatisfaction.

"Don't mess around. Just focus on handling the class work well. Once your brother becomes the Student Union President, I'll just recruit you in to get some gold plating, and that will be that."

After Yang Tianxing finished speaking, he patted his backside and left; He Yulin was so angry her teeth itched, but she had no way to deal with him.

Organizations like the Student Union exist in both the college and the department; the college level is more difficult, so Yang Tianxing decided to join the department's Student Union first.

He had a greater interest in the External Liaison Department. This department was mainly responsible for external communication, raising funds, organizing activities, integrating resources, and shaping the school's image, which was more suitable for utilizing Yang Tianxing's strengths and was also more beneficial for his future entrepreneurship.

The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences was considered a large department in a liberal arts school like the Finance Institute, so when Yang Tianxing arrived outside the teaching building under the scorching sun, there were already many freshmen queuing outside the recruitment classroom for the External Liaison Department.

He didn't expect to see classmates from his own class, though they were all girls, and his fellow townsman Liu Qirui was also among them. When they saw Yang Tianxing coming over, they all greeted him with surprise.

"Is Class Monitor Yang also joining the Student Union?"

"Yeah, for the sake of the future and prospects of our Public Administration Class 2, someone has to go undercover in the Student Union."

Yang Tianxing said with a grin.

Several girls all laughed and spat, and after discussing it among themselves, they actually prepared to leave: "Class Monitor Yang, we're going to check out other departments. We people from the same class shouldn't fight each other; we need to unite and face the outside world together."

Yang Tianxing knew they were voluntarily reducing the competition pressure for him. He didn't expose them, just waved his hand with a smile and said: "Alright, I'll treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning."

Before leaving, Liu Qirui cheered Yang Tianxing on: "Good luck, fellow townsman! Try to snag a position as a vice minister."

At this moment, a junior student happened to pass by. Hearing the words "vice minister," he turned his head to look at Yang Tianxing, sneered, and walked into the interview classroom.

Since today was only the preliminary round, just an initial screening for interested freshmen, everyone's speaking time was very short, and it was Yang Tianxing's turn before long.

Yang Tianxing walked in and found two men and one woman sitting below. The woman was in the middle, and the men were sitting on both sides. Judging from the seating arrangement, the woman in the middle should be the minister, and the two on the sides were vice ministers.

Nameplates were placed in front of them; the female minister was named Zhang Wei, and the two male vice ministers were named Xun Can and Zhou Yang.

The one named Zhou Yang was the senior who had just sneered at Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing walked in with a smile and first nodded to the three seniors of the External Liaison Department. Zhang Wei and Xun Can also nodded slightly, signaling that Yang Tianxing could begin his introduction.

However, just at this moment, Zhou Yang interrupted inexplicably: "You don't need to introduce yourself. The External Liaison Department wants to recruit a girl right now; you don't meet the criteria."

"What the hell?"

Yang Tianxing was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what kind of bullshit reason this was. Even if he failed in the end, it wouldn't matter, but what was the meaning of not even letting him open his mouth?

Zhang Wei and Xun Can were also very surprised; it was obvious they hadn't expected this either.

Zhou Yang leaned over to Zhang Wei and said: "Sorry, I forgot to discuss it with you beforehand. Our External Liaison Department often has to deal with off-campus merchants and solicit sponsorships. I think a girl's identity has more advantages."

Without waiting for Zhang Wei to answer, Zhou Yang turned around and said to Yang Tianxing: "Classmate, you can go now. Don't waste other people's time."

There were many freshmen inside and outside this classroom, and they all cast sympathetic looks at Yang Tianxing, while also feeling a bit of fear toward Zhou Yang's actions.

Zhou Yang sat upright, feeling very satisfied with the use of the tiny power in his hands.

However, after waiting for a long time and seeing this freshman still on the podium, Zhou Yang slammed his pen onto the table with a "clack" and scolded angrily: "Do I need to repeat the same thing three times?"

Zhang Wei and Xun Can didn't know why Zhou Yang wanted to do this, but treating a freshman like this was inappropriate in any case, and they were just about to step in to mediate the situation.

However, Yang Tianxing had already spoken.

"How big is your fucking official rank? You really think you're hot shit. Those who know will think you're just a small vice minister of the department's External Liaison Department; those who don't would think you're the vice president of the university. I don't know how many idiots like you I've crushed in a year."

"Whoa..."

After Yang Tianxing finished this sentence, the External Liaison Department's interview classroom was filled with sounds of astonishment.

A freshman cursing a vice minister during an election—this was truly an eye-opener.

Zhang Wei and Xun Can were both confused, thinking to themselves if today was a bad day. First, Zhou Yang inexplicably set rules for a freshman, but this freshman was also a super troublemaker who immediately fought back and gave him a good scolding.

Of course, Yang Tianxing wouldn't endure it. If this place doesn't keep me, there's a place that will. But even if he had to leave, he had to vent his anger before going; that was Yang Tianxing's way of doing things.

Endure for a moment and the more you think about it, the angrier you get; take a step back and the more you think about it, the more you feel cheated. It wasn't that Yang Tianxing couldn't endure this kind of insult, but it depended on who it was.

A small vice minister of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department's External Liaison Department—where was the need for Yang Tianxing to put on a smiling face?

Zhou Yang was probably encountering this situation for the first time. Only then did he suddenly realize that the freshman who had just cursed him had a look of arrogance in his eyes and brows, along with a streak of unyielding wildness.

Yang Tianxing stared at Zhou Yang with a sinister gaze. People like Zhou Yang, aside from acting tough in front of timid freshmen, really didn't know how to handle things when they actually encountered trouble. He felt a chill in his heart from being stared at by Yang Tianxing.

However, he didn't want to lose face, so he could only pretend not to care about Yang Tianxing and said: "The freshmen these days really have less and less discipline and quality."

"Classmate, I am Zhang Wei, the Minister of the External Liaison Department. Please calm down. If there's a misunderstanding, we can communicate and resolve it."

In the end, it was Zhang Wei who took the initiative to stand up and clean up Zhou Yang's mess.

However, once Yang Tianxing's uninhibited, dog-like temper flared up, he wasn't afraid of anyone except Yang Jianjun and Gao Meilan. He looked at Zhang Wei and said: "Am I not calm? I just wanted to say a few words to Minister Zhou."

After speaking, he stepped toward Zhou Yang. Xun Can was worried that Zhou Yang would be hit and hurriedly blocked the middle. Yang Tianxing swung his arm, and Xun Can was directly knocked to the ground.

"You, what are you doing?"

Zhou Yang's voice was trembling. Yang Tianxing was more than a head taller than him and was built sturdily; the key was his fierce and violent aura.

"If you had just made up a reasonable excuse, that would be fine, but what's the deal with using gender as an excuse? Is there gender discrimination in Student Union selections?"

Yang Tianxing didn't intend to hit anyone. Once he hit someone, he would be in the wrong even if he were right, so he generally didn't resort to violence easily.

Zhou Yang hurriedly retreated a few steps. Only when Zhang Wei stood between the two again did he muster the courage to say: "The External Liaison Department needs communication and coordination; of course, it's better to have women."

"Are you using your mouth as your ass? Only completing the task counts as good; what does this have to do with gender?"

Yang Tianxing stared at Zhou Yang with disdain: "Besides, if you really need girls, you're the one who should be the first to get the hell out."
