Chapter 77: Playing the Role of Qiao Feng for Once

Zhang Liye was quite efficient; he delivered the tricycles the next morning. Yang Tianxing frowned and asked, "Why are they all second-hand?"

The delivery courier, Xiao Shi, who brought the vehicles, smiled and said, "This is all the small tricycles we have at the branch. Manager Zhang ordered us to bring them all to support President Yang."

Yang Tianxing walked around the five small tricycles: "Fine, they'll barely do."

"Then I'll head back first," Xiao Shi said.

"Don't be in such a rush."

Yang Tianxing waved his hand: "Help me buy two cans of paint, one large can of white and one small can of red. I want to decorate the vehicles."

"Running errands is no problem, but the money for the paint..."

Xiao Shi grinned and held out his hand, weighing the air.

Yang Tianxing glanced at Xiao Shi and took the half-box of Yuxi cigarettes left in his pocket, placing it in his palm: "Go get reimbursed for the paint by Manager Zhang; I've already cleared it with him."

Seeing there was half a pack of cigarettes, Xiao Shi put them in his pocket with a cheeky grin: "If Old Zhang doesn't reimburse me, I'm done for. I'll come looking for you, President Yang."

Yang Tianxing made a move to hit him: "Get lost and go buy it. If you delay me from making money, I'll crush your balls."

Xiao Shi ran off laughing. Some of the couriers were about the same age as Yang Tianxing, so Yang Tianxing's way of getting along with them was basically a pattern of cursing and swearing, occasionally giving them small perks like cigarettes, so the relationship between both sides was quite good.

After the paint was bought, Yang Tianxing found the oldest clothes he had in the dormitory, threw them on haphazardly, and started painting the tricycles while wearing a mask and gloves.

Before long, the bell for the end of class rang, and Liu Jiaoyue, Deng Yidi, and He Yulin all came over.

The tallest one, Liu Jiaoyue, walked in the middle, but she walked with her head down. He Yulin and Deng Yidi were on her left and right respectively, looking at each other with disdain the whole way.

This combination really looked awkward no matter how one viewed it. Yang Tianxing pondered that once Deng Yidi finished the clothes, he would just find some excuse to kick her out.

Of course, Secretary He was also necessary, but she was simpler; Yang Tianxing didn't even want to find an excuse for her.

"Why are you doing the work yourself?"

Deng Yidi walked over and said.

Yang Tianxing held a paintbrush in one hand and steadied the tricycle with the other. His old clothes and pants were stained with quite a bit of paint, and even his hair had a few drops on it. The half-burnt cigarette butt in his mouth had turned to ash, and he couldn't spare a hand to flick it off.

"Is it not normal for me to do my own work? I also eat by myself and go to the bathroom by myself... cough, cough, cough."

While speaking, he was choked by the smoke in his trachea, and Yang Tianxing began to cough violently.

Liu Jiaoyue was just about to step forward, but Deng Yidi was closer and a bit faster. She extended two slender fingers and took the cigarette butt from Yang Tianxing's mouth.

Seeing this, He Yulin looked displeased and gently nudged Liu Jiaoyue, who was beside her.

Liu Jiaoyue looked back at He Yulin with clear, bright eyes, then turned around to continue watching Yang Tianxing paint the tricycle.

He Yulin sighed; this idiot had no sense of crisis at all. Deng Yidi was about to take over the nest.

Half an hour later, Yang Tianxing finally finished painting the first tricycle. It was covered entirely in white paint, with only a conspicuous line of red text on the tail cover—Rocket 101 Express.

"Are you planning to ride this around school to collect packages in the future?"

He Yulin asked.

"How is it? Is it flashy?"

Yang Tianxing smiled; he felt very good about himself.

He Yulin didn't quite agree: "I just feel it's too high-profile."

"I just think being high-profile is better."

Deng Yidi retorted: "Now is the time for publicity; only then will more students see it."

"Deng Yidi, can you touch your conscience when you speak?"

"He Yulin, can you use your brain before you object?"

……………

The two started arguing immediately. One said the other's makeup was gaudy and didn't look like a college student, while the other called her a country bumpkin in the city, losing face for the Finance Institute.

Deng Yidi was more sharp-tongued, hitting He Yulin's sore spots accurately several times.

Yang Tianxing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them and let them attack each other while he took the paint to prepare for the second tricycle.

Liu Jiaoyue also followed Yang Tianxing; expecting her to break up the fight was unrealistic.

At this moment, the Minister of the External Liaison Department, Zhang Wei, arrived at the entrepreneurship base: "Minister Yang, there is a general meeting of the Student Union at noon; we all have to attend."

Yang Tianxing was very impatient: "What kind of meeting? I'm busy here; can I ask for leave?"

Zhang Wei shook her head: "It seems to be about the internal debate competition. Vice Chairman Long Fuxin even specifically borrowed the University Activity Center. The notice says all cadres must attend, not to mention you are a Vice Minister."

"So many damn things."

Yang Tianxing muttered, taking off his mask and gloves: "Let's go."

Zhang Wei was a bit surprised: "Aren't you going back to change your clothes?"

"Change my ass, the working people are the most glorious."

……………

The two arrived at the University Activity Center, where many students were already seated. Yang Tianxing's appearance, covered in the smell of paint, attracted many gazes, including, of course, Wen Xiubo and Long Fuxin standing at the very front.

Wen Xiubo only glanced once before looking away, but Long Fuxin stared for a long time.

Yang Tianxing didn't quite understand: "Organizing an internal debate competition, logically speaking, it shouldn't need such a large scale, right?"

Zhang Wei also frowned. This general meeting of all members of the Humanities and Social Sciences Student Union definitely had another purpose, but why didn't they clarify it beforehand?

Jiang Mingling, sitting at the front, saw Yang Tianxing. She hurried over, lowered her voice, and said: "Yang Tianxing, ask for leave right now. Once I approve it, you can leave."

"Why?"

"Don't ask why, just trust me."

Jiang Mingling spoke very quickly, and her expression was very anxious.

However, a person like Yang Tianxing wouldn't just believe whatever others said. He definitely had his own reasons for doing things, even if it was just for his own peace of mind.

"Tell me the reason first, then I'll see if I want to leave."

Yang Tianxing said.

"You are too stubborn."

Jiang Minling had no choice but to tell the truth: "Long Fuxin and Wen Xiubo are planning to kick you out of the Student Union; discussing the debate competition is just a minor matter, the main point is to target you."

Zhang Wei did not believe it: "The approval form for the vice minister has already been submitted to the Youth League Committee; unless an individual resigns, on what grounds can they just replace someone whenever they want?"

"Teacher Guan Shuman, who is responsible for Student Union work at the Youth League Committee, went away for training and only just returned a while ago. Long Fuxin took advantage of the time gap before Teacher Guan could approve and stamp the documents to submit a statement a long time ago claiming that Yang Tianxing is not suitable to serve as vice minister."

Although Jiang Minling was very angry, she had no way to deal with it. This is the disadvantage of the Student Union not having a formal president; two vice presidents joining forces can sideline another vice president, and she only learned about this matter before the meeting.

Jiang Minling and Wen Xiubo once joined forces to deal with Long Fuxin, but now they have also suffered the backlash.

"Long Fuxin feels that kicking you out is not enough; he also wants to humiliate you once in front of all the Student Union members."

Jiang Minling advised again: "You should ask for leave and leave the venue first. Although you won't be in the Student Union in the future, today's humiliation can be avoided."

Yang Tianxing let out a "pfft" laugh. He felt that today's situation was really like a TV drama. He used to like watching *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, and his favorite part was Qiao Feng carrying a sound system and playing background music while slaughtering everyone at Juxian Manor. Looking at it today, he could try that feeling.

"Hurry up and leave, why are you still laughing?"

Jiang Minling urged, thinking that Yang Tianxing had lost his mind.

"I'm not leaving."

Yang Tianxing curled his lips into a confident smile: "I am going to wreak havoc at Juxian Manor."
