Chen Hao heard the voice and turned around.
He saw a beautiful, tall girl with skin as white as snow standing in front of him. She was dressed in skinny denim cropped pants, a t-shirt and a pair of high heels.
She was crossing her arms and looking at Chen Hao disdainfully.
“Chen Hao, you really are something, aren’t you? You actually bought a 300,000 luxury item while clinging on to the student subsidies provided by our department. Let me tell you, based on this matter alone, you can forget all about the student subsidies this year,” she coldly stated.
“Jiang Weiwei, the shopping card was given to Chen Hao by those people as a way of thanking him for saving their daughter. What reasons do you have to cancel Chen Hao’s student subsidy? Don’t think you are so high and mighty just because you are the President of the student council.”
Dorm leader, Yang Hui, couldn’t help but utter those words when he saw the girl with the ice-cold aura in front of him .
“This is none of your business. The applications for Chen Hao’s student subsidy are provided by our student council every year. That was because he was an honest person. But now, he actually bought a 300,000 bag. Currently, everybody in the entire department—even the entire campus—knows that there is a big idiot in our department!”
“He tainted our department’s reputation! His student subsidies can be canceled based on this offense alone!”
Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao in disgust. Obviously, after Han Siyu’s live streaming last night, nearly everyone in the campus knew that he had bought the bag.
In addition to that, she was President of the student council.
And she happened to be one of the few female Presidents in the entire campus.
She came from a well-to-do family and was a very sociable person. She was quite close to most of the rich and powerful students in her department, and the entire campus.
She was even close to the lecturers from different departments.
She had the classic ‘big sister’ personality.
Hence, she looked down upon losers like Chen Hao who did not have the money nor the power.
However, Chen Hao had a special characteristic. That was, he was quite an obedient person. In the past, Jiang Weiwei often used the student subsidy as leverage to order Chen Hao around, while the rest of the poor students slogged away like slaves to provide free labor to Jiang Weiwei.
This was the reason why Yang Hui did not see eye-to-eye with Jiang Weiwei.
“Hmph, Chen Hao, what should we do about this?”
Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms and looked at him haughtily.
Chen Hao frowned. To be honest, he did not need the student subsidies anymore.
But the bottom line was, although Jiang Weiwei looked down upon him and bullied him, the student subsidies he received in the past did indeed come from her.
Chen Hao asked, “What do you want?”
“Hmph, what do I want? If you want to continue receiving the student subsidies, you have to do one more thing for me. As for smearing our department’s reputation, I can put that behind us!”
Jiang Weiwei was talking about the incident whereby Chen Hao was called an idiot for buying that bag.
When Jiang Weiwei recalled it, she felt so much hatred.
Firstly, she hated how this poor loser got so lucky that he was given that VIP shopping card.
Secondly, she hated the fact that Chen Hao actually gave away a 360,000 bag as a birthday gift to another person.
A freaking 360,000!
If he gave it to her, then wouldn’t that boost her ego?
However, Chen Hao did not even try to please her. Then fine, let’s see how you live without your student subsidies.
Idiot!
Jiang Weiwei scolded in her heart.
“What do you want me to do?”
On the other hand, Chen Hao looked indifferent.
“Simple. Next week our department will be organizing a huge event. The venue needs tidying up, so you can go and sweep the entire venue. Then, I can continue to help you apply for your student subsidies! I have already gotten a permit for you to leave the class, so you don’t have to go for your morning lectures today. Don’t say I didn’t take care of you!”
Jiang Weiwei threw the permit at Chen Hao for him to bring along.
Then, she gave him a slight glance, turned on her heels and walked away.
“Damn it, this woman really knows how to push people around!”
Yang Hui scolded.
His roommate Li Rui was also angered by her. “Hao, don’t be scared. You don’t have to go there. Do you know how big the venue is? How could she let you clean up that place?! Let’s go to class!”
He gave Chen Hao a pat on his shoulders.
“But if he doesn’t go, what will happen to his student subsidies?”
His friends started to get worried.
Finally, Yang Hui clapped his hands and said,
“It’s alright, let us all go to the venue and help Hao with the clean up!”
“Alright, that is a good idea!”
His roommates nodded their heads.
There was a warm feeling in Chen Hao’s heart.
It was true. This was the reason why Chen Hao still remained optimistic although he had been humiliated so many times in college for the past three years.
Because of his poverty, he had gotten to know some really good friends who were like brothers to him.
Brothers who sincerely cared about him.
