Chapter 70: Long, Straight, Black Hair
"Fu Yiming, who is Fu Yiming?"
Sun Nan turned his head; he had assumed that besides himself and Yang Tianxing, there was another student following behind named "Fu Yiming."
Guan Shuman was stunned for a moment: "The one right next to you is named Fu Yiming."
She had quite a deep impression of "Fu Yiming"—he wasn't old, but he was highly proficient in the art of flirting with women, helping out while glibly calling himself a "lecherous ghost."
He played the "playing hard to get" game very skillfully.
Sun Nan looked at Yang Tianxing with a face full of confusion. Just as things were about to go off the rails, Yang Tianxing steadied his mindset and calmly said to Guan Shuman: "Teacher Guan, you must have remembered the name wrong. I am Yang Tianxing, monitor of Public Administration Class 2, deputy minister of the Liaison Department of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department, and applicant for the Finance Institute's student entrepreneurship support project."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Guan Shuman was somewhat suspicious.
Yang Tianxing said with certainty: "That night, I saw you alone in the activity center debugging equipment. I have always held myself to the standards of an excellent student union cadre, so I went to help with a small task."
"That is all correct, but when I asked for your name, you said it was Fu Yiming, didn't you?"
Guan Shuman asked with a frown.
"No, I said Yang Tianxing."
Yang Tianxing insisted firmly that he had not lied.
Sun Nan also realized what was happening; it seemed Yang Tianxing had helped Guan Shuman, but she had remembered the name wrong. He said with a chuckle: "Little Guan is usually responsible for student union work and meets many student cadres every day, so it's inevitable she would get them mixed up."
Yang Tianxing nodded honestly, as if it were indeed Guan Shuman who had made a mistake.
Guan Shuman knew better; the person in front of her was the boy who had flirted with her. However, since Sun Nan was still there, she skipped over this part for the time being and said with a smile: "Then I must have remembered it wrong. Does Secretary Sun have any instructions?"
"What instructions could I possibly have?"
Sun Nan put his hands behind his back and puffed out his belly, saying: "Recently, our institute has been busy with the 50th-anniversary celebration and the debate tournament; I see you've been working non-stop and must be tired."
He pointed at Yang Tianxing: "Little Yang has strong comprehensive coordination skills and is very patient in his work. I would like to recommend him to share some of the Youth League Committee's workload."
"Of course, the choice is yours; I am only suggesting."
Sun Nan added with a hum.
Yang Tianxing thought to himself that the level of Sun Fatty's speech was simply a waste in the Finance Institute; the way he dragged things out and spoke in circles, he could have been a diplomat.
Actually, in the past, Sun Nan probably wouldn't have used his own influence to get things done, but he had noticed that Yang Tianxing had made that entrepreneurship base look quite impressive, and he had some other ideas in mind.
If he could pull Yang Tianxing into the Youth League Committee, he would be under his direct jurisdiction, and many things would be simpler to discuss.
Sun Nan rarely made requests, and now that he had specifically opened his mouth for Yang Tianxing, Guan Shuman felt embarrassed to refuse. She thought for a moment and said: "The Youth League Committee student department is divided into the News Center, the Office Center, and the Supervision Center. Which department does Yang Tianxing want to join?"
The broadcast station was affiliated with the News Center. Thinking of the senior student with the alluring voice at the broadcast station, Yang Tianxing felt this wasn't even a multiple-choice question.
"I want to go to the News..."
Just as Yang Tianxing was about to give his answer, Guan Shuman suddenly interrupted: "I almost forgot, the News Center is full. Only the Office Center and the Supervision Center have vacancies. Yang Tianxing has strong coordination skills, so why not go to the Supervision Center?"
How could Guan Shuman dare to put Yang Tianxing in the News Center? If a scandal broke out, she would be held responsible.
Sun Nan also thought it was good: "The Supervision Center has great power, but of course, it also has great responsibility. It's convenient for you to utilize your abilities."
Since Sun Nan had said so, Yang Tianxing could only choose to obey. He also took the opportunity to flatter them: "As long as I can learn by Secretary Sun and Teacher Guan's side, it doesn't matter where I go."
With the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee personally putting in a word, the original requirements for interviews, qualification reviews, and public notice processes were all skipped. Yang Tianxing gloriously became a student cadre in the Supervision Center of the Finance Institute's Youth League Committee.
"Then you two go ahead and get busy, I'm heading down."
Sun Nan waved his hand and left, leaving only Yang Tianxing and Guan Shuman in the room.
"Teacher Guan, if there is nothing urgent, I will head back now."
Yang Tianxing knew full well that Guan Shuman had recognized him. This place was a dangerous spot; a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall, so Yang Tianxing prepared to run.
Teasing the simple and cute Liu Jiaoyue, or having a long phone chat with the sweet and tsundere Tan Zhizhi—wouldn't life be happy?
Anyway, he only needed the title of the Youth League Committee.
Although Guan Shuman was also quite good-looking—23 or 24 years old, with a head of long, straight black hair and delicate, pleasant features—according to Song Fei's scientific scoring system, she should be at least an 8.5.
She was probably about the same as Deng Yidi, but if he had to choose between Guan Shuman and Deng Yidi, Yang Tianxing would rather hang out with Deng Yidi.
So what if she's wild? As long as she has plenty of positions, it's fine; I'm not marrying her anyway.
However, it was clear that the "long-straight-black-haired" Guan Shuman would not let Yang Tianxing off so easily. She pushed up her glasses and said: "Since Student Yang has joined the Youth League Committee, let's first familiarize yourself with the work."
As she spoke, she handed over a stack of documents: "These are the reports recently submitted by the various student unions of our institute. You can take a look at them at the table in front; this is also the main work of the Supervision Center."
Yang Tianxing sighed helplessly; his entrepreneurship base still had a mountain of things to do, but on the surface, he politely took them: "Thank you, Teacher Guan, for giving me the opportunity to deeply understand the work of the Youth League Committee."
The content of the documents was very simple, all of them being requests from various students. They were generally filing forms for new deputy ministers of the XX Department of the XX Faculty, or explanations for the departure of deputy ministers.
The Finance Institute had sixteen faculties, and each faculty student union had seven or eight departments. Yang Tianxing estimated that Guan Shuman didn't have time to review them at all; they were likely all approved by the student cadres of the Supervision Center.
Yang Tianxing even saw his own filing form for deputy minister of the Liaison Department, but the very next sheet was an "Explanation regarding Student Yang Tianxing's unsuitability for the position of deputy minister of the Liaison Department of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department."
The submitters were Student Union Vice Chairmen Wen Xiubo and Long Fuxin.
The content was roughly that Yang Tianxing was too young and lacked experience, and that after becoming deputy minister, he had affected the unity and stability of the student union, and there was also a suspicion of abuse of power.
At the bottom, it was written in a pretentious manner: "Is this appropriate? Please approve."
"How does that saying go? Truth is stranger than fiction, right?"
Yang Tianxing thought indifferently. He calmly hid this explanation form in the middle and was just preparing to find a way to arrange it when Guan Shuman behind him suddenly asked: "Student Yang is from Public Administration Class 2 of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department, right?"
"That's right."
Yang Tianxing replied, still wondering in his heart why the long-straight-black-haired woman was asking this.
Before long, Yang Tianxing heard the sound of Guan Shuman constantly right-clicking the mouse, seemingly opening some files, followed by the sound of her dragging the mouse.
Yang Tianxing reacted instantly.
"Guan Shuman must be checking our class roster."
"Damn, she's verifying whether there is actually a student named Fu Yiming in Public Administration Class 2."
"This is too damn stubborn; she really lacks a beating from society."
A moment later, the sound of Guan Shuman clicking the mouse stopped. Yang Tianxing pretended to drop his pen on the floor, and when he bent down to pick it up, he took a casual glance.
Unexpectedly, Guan Shuman was also staring right at Yang Tianxing's back, her gaze profound and meaningful.
Yang Tianxing immediately knew he had been exposed, and he shook his head silently in his heart.
It seemed that Teacher Guan Shuman, with her long black straight hair, not only lacked the harsh beatings of society but also the companionship of a treasure of a boy like Yi Min.
Because, unless a normal person was idle to a certain degree, would they be able to do this sort of thing?
