Chapter 401: Chapter 187: Confess Your Love to Me.
On the following Saturday, after the motivational assembly held by the central university administration, the individual schools had smaller meetings. All class leaders from the freshman and sophomore years attended, bringing the preparatory work for the 2016 Autumn Sports Meet to its final step.
Su Huai didn’t care how heavy the workload was; he continued to slack off.
With Fu Zhitao above him, who was highly motivated, and Qiu Li, Li Xiaoyu, Wu Tianyou, and Huang Mengting below him, whom he could instruct without any qualms, Gou Huai finished his work just by moving his lips.
But Old Fu couldn’t stand seeing him have it so easy and picked on him at the last minute.
"Mr. Su, since the School of Information is your territory, we won’t interfere. However, you also need to make sure nothing goes wrong..."
With a lazy flick of his eyes, Su Huai retorted, "Crude! We are college student leaders cultivated by the nation, not gangsters carving out territories."
"..."
Fu Zhitao didn’t have the spirit to retort, his smile freezing in place.
Many people in the conference room sniggered, clearly not taking Mr. Fu very seriously.
It was all because of the courage given by Brother Huai...
Su Huai didn’t continue to pester him, but casually pointed to Wu Tianyou, "Old Wu, the work of liaison and coordination will be entrusted to you. Work well with Minister Qiu, and don’t let the School of Information down, making Chairman Fu look down on us."
"Ah?!"
Wu Tianyou raised his head, his face full of difficulty: "But Secretary-General, I have duties in my class... I, I have to participate in the competition!"
What?
The usually proactive little bureaucrat was actually pushing away authority today?
Su Huai knew there was something fishy about his hesitant voice, but he was too lazy to guess the reason and simply overrode him.
"Multi-task well!"
Those three simple words made Youyou grind his teeth in anger, yet he didn’t dare to retort.
Any more back talk, and Brother Huai would really humiliate him in public.
In Su Huai’s view, the trick to being a leader is to talk reason as little as possible, to forcefully delegate within reasonable tasks, and to pick a softie for the slightly unreasonable tasks to delegate forcefully.
A leader who doesn’t know how to squeeze a softie is definitely not a good leader. How troublesome it is to deal with those who resist!
As for those especially unreasonable tasks... push them upstairs!
It’s better to stand your ground with superiors than to take on tasks that will land you in hot water. Only after responsibilities are clearly delineated should work commence. Middle management has no room for error.
That’s why our state-owned enterprises appear exceptionally impressive. When there’s a major task, they really step up without any conditions and hardly ever slack.
Private companies... Su Huai’s experience is not to empathize with the boss. We don’t deserve it.
After the meeting, class leaders and student union members from various classes came to greet Su Huai.
"Mr. Su, how about the funds?"
"What funds?" Su Huai didn’t even catch on for a moment, "The finances are managed by Mr. Liu, didn’t Chairman Fu get all the necessary funds approved?"
"What can that little money do?"
Qiu Li, unrestrained, buddied up, leaning on Su Huai’s shoulder: "We’re just needing a little more sponsorship from a big boss like you right now!"
Qiu Li, in charge of the culture and arts department and also a stunning beauty with a score close to 90, unabashedly pressed her fragrant body against Su Huai, effectively stimulating hormones.
Wu Tianyou watched this scene from the outskirts of the crowd, feeling so jealous he could lose his teeth.
"Nuannuan, look, Old Su is really hot property now, but it’s worrying how he’s floating on cloud nine over a little money and power..."
Chen Nuanhan was already annoyed at Qiu Li’s actions, and Wu Tianyou’s continued ramblings made her want to erupt.
But she held back and turned to ask, "Is Old Su usually like this with Minister Qiu?"
Although Wu Tianyou’s nickname was Crazy Dog, he wasn’t dumb at all, and quickly threw shade on Su Huai quietly: "It’s not just Qiu Li. There are plenty of girls in the council who like to stick close to Old Su. When Li Xiaoyu had her birthday, she didn’t invite anyone else, just specifically asked Old Su!"
"Huh..."
Chen Nuanhan took a deep breath, quickly exhaling it out, her gaze sharp as a knife.
"Did he go?" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"How would I know that."
Wu Tianyou was quite rhythmic in his sabotage, not spreading rumors directly but laying out facts for Chen Nuanhan to speculate herself.
"Anyway, Li Xiaoyu was in a pretty good mood those days, and then she had a conflict with Hu Shiyu."
Damn it?!
Gou Dongxi still hadn’t cut ties with that foxy Hu Shiyu?!
Such typical shady friends...
Su Huai suddenly felt a murderous aura like a thorn in his back.
He discreetly shifted his gaze and, using his peripheral vision, saw the frosty-faced Chen Nuanhan and the sneaky Wu Tianyou, causing a shock of alarm in his heart.
This is bad, the rabble-rouser is at it again, and the lady has once again embraced the empress’s perspective, both gone mad!
As Su Huai quickly thought of a strategy, he continued to engage with the surrounding students.
"Yeah, Mr. Su, the school’s funds are so tight for proper matters, to find some extra benefits, we really need to look to you!"
"It’s not much we want, just a hotpot meal!"
"I want a pretty dress!"
"Is there any Sour Plum Soup available?"
A group of them chuckled and teased, crowding around Su Huai in the center.
In fact, not everyone was looking to take petty advantages; most just wanted to build a good rapport with him.
When Su Huai heard Sour Plum Soup, he got an idea.
With a lazy wave of his hand, he diverted the trouble to someone nearby: "The Sour Plum Soup Goddess is right beside you. Don’t ask me, go ask Nuannuan."
Chen Nuanhan was in the midst of stewing in her anger when she suddenly got called out by Gou Huai, her eyes widening in surprise.
Instinctively retorting, she said, "I’m just a hardworking ’white-haired girl’, are you saying you, a heartless boss, want me to pay for it?"
"No need for that."
Su Huai squinted his eyes, revealing a mischievous smile: "It’s just they lack a bit in their clamoring. But if you plead on their behalf, arranging some Sour Plum Soup might not be out of the question."
"Oh~~~"
The boys and girls started egging her on, students from public management and international trade hurriedly pushed Chen Nuanhan to the front as the others quickly made way for her.
