Chapter 372: Simple Boy
Li Zhengdong doesn't think his behavior is shameless.
There is a saying that goes:
The truth is often written by the victor
In his opinion, he was just teaching a lesson to the innocent little boy, teaching him about the coldness and cruelty of society.
That's all...
As for the grudge between the two.
The scenes of being humiliated in front of Xu Cheng in the past gradually emerged in Li Zhengdong's mind.
He poured water on his head, he bumped into him in front of the student union members, he grabbed his collar and threatened him...
This is completely an attitude of not taking his leader seriously!
But now, this kid is about to pay the price for his arrogance.
Thinking of this, Li Zhengdong felt an almost twisted sense of pleasure in his heart.
Young man, you are too young to fight with me!
Although Li Zhengdong asked the question in the direction of Manager Zhou.
But at this moment, Li Zhengdong was staring at Xu Cheng's cheek.
He was looking forward to hearing Xu Cheng's expression after Manager Zhou responded.
Any trace of surprise, fear, anger, or powerlessness on his face...
All will be the source of his pleasure.
Li Zhengdong is very confident in himself.
After all, he really hasn't been idle these days.
In order to quickly pick Qingzhou's peach, he spent all the 2,000 yuan sponsorship from his uncle on Manager Zhou.
Drinking, singing, massage... just to completely win him away from Xu Cheng.
He could have kept the two thousand yuan for himself as pocket money, but in order to save his own face and also to teach Xu Cheng a lesson.
He gritted his teeth and made the final investment.
These days, with every meal and every drink... Li Zhengdong couldn't remember how many times he had vomited just from drinking.
He spent more time with Manager Zhou than he ever did with his girlfriend.
So Li Zhengdong really doesn’t know how he lost now.
Even if you, Xu Cheng, win the favor of Qingzhou Company.
But the real key is which one Manager Zhou recognizes between him and Xu Cheng.
Who does the peach belong to? It only takes a word from Manager Zhou.
Who is more important, him or Xu Cheng, in Manager Zhou's heart?
Li Zhengdong believed that his hard work day and night and his performance in front of Manager Zhou were definitely effective.
Presumably, his relationship with Manager Zhou is much closer than that between Manager Zhou and Xu Cheng.
Unless Manager Zhou was Xu Cheng's relative, he could not think of any reason that would make Manager Zhou favor Xu Cheng.
Of course, Li Zhengdong did not ignore this kind of black swan event.
However, this possibility had already been ruled out by him in advance.
He had already inquired and found out that Xu Cheng had no relatives in Qingzhou Company.
So in his opinion, the sponsorship he obtained this time was purely a blind cat catching a dead mouse. It just so happened that a person seeking sponsorship ran into Qingzhou, which wanted to increase investment in the college student market.
"Thank you for this 50,000 yuan, junior brother." Li Zhengdong said with a smile in his heart.
In any case, this sponsorship of 50,000 yuan will soon become a brilliant achievement in Li Zhengdong's resume. It will not only allow him to have smooth sailing in the student union from now on, but will also become an indelible legendary experience in the history of the student union.
Seniors from the External Relations Department would always tell their juniors about his legend and the story of how he raised a full 50,000 yuan for the welcome party.
On the other side, Student Council President Jin Shuhong frowned.
He was a smart man and had already understood the dispute between Li Zhengdong and Xu Cheng.
Picking peaches is a common thing everywhere, with superiors picking peaches from their subordinates and teachers picking peaches from their students.
But he didn't care about that. What mattered was whether Li Zhengdong really got the peach.
For him, neither the process nor the people are important; what he needs is the result.
However, judging from Li Zhengdong's attitude, he seemed to have already secured victory.
Then he can just take sides.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Manager Zhou." Jin Shuhong smiled at Manager Zhou and glared at Xu Cheng. "My classmate, who told you to come in during a rehearsal? Get out now."
The people around had basically understood the current situation and cast sympathetic glances towards Xu Cheng.
At this moment, he is already at an absolute disadvantage, and even the president Jin Shuhong has made his attitude clear that he will stand on Li Zhengdong's side.
"When something like this happens, just consider yourself unlucky..."
"Oh, I've encountered this kind of thing once before."
"Freshmen are still too naive. Li Zhengdong will do anything to win."
"It can be considered as Li Zhengdong's own ability. Who can blame him for not worrying about it..."
People around were whispering, and Huang Zifei felt more and more uncomfortable. After hesitating for a few seconds, he stood up.
"President Jin, Xu Cheng is a member of our External Relations Department. The Student Union should be able to come in during the rehearsal. Besides, the supervision is not strict to begin with. I believe many people here are not members of the Student Union."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Cheng again and said, "Xiaoxue brother Xu, I was a witness to the previous bet, but now the situation is unfair. I think the bet is no longer effective, so don't take it seriously."
Shi Xiaoqing on the side also nodded.
"Yeah, if someone is so shameless, why would you bet with him if you can't afford to play?"
When Li Zhengdong heard what the two girls said, he snorted with disdain.
Others on the side started to watch the fun.
"The External Relations Department is now falling apart."
"You must have wanted to break up with me for a long time. No matter which department this Li Zhengdong is put in, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
"I don't know how the External Relations Department will continue its work in the future..."
On the other side, Xu Cheng just looked at Huang Zifei and Shi Xiaoqing helplessly.
"Minister, please don't make decisions for me without my permission."
What he said next was even more shocking.
"I have no intention of cancelling that bet. Since I've made the bet with him, there must be an ending."
"He's crazy..."
"Why is this kid like this? There are stairs down there but he won't go down."
"Speechless. This is the first time I've seen someone so stubborn."
"Now we're going to have some fun."
Li Zhengdong could hardly hold back his laughter. He was afraid that Xu Cheng would not be able to get out of the Foreign Affairs Press and would stay inside to get in his way.
But this kid didn't agree!
"Xu Xuedi, I admire your courage. It's a good thing to have courage, but... if you don't have the corresponding strength, then it's just arrogance."
"You talk too much nonsense. The only reason I kept the bet was because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to get out. Since we have to settle the result today, I still say the same thing. Whoever has less sponsorship will get out of the Foreign Affairs Agency."
"You are so stubborn, you really opened my eyes, Xu Xuedi."
Li Zhengdong's eyes narrowed into slits.
He really didn't know where Xu Cheng got the confidence to say such words at this time.
He thought about it carefully and was sure that there was absolutely no chance that Xu Cheng would make a comeback.
It's impossible for him to get more sponsorship than 50,000 yuan.
Maybe it's the recklessness in me.
Li Zhengdong looked at the tall Xu Cheng and thought that big guys like him were very brainless, so it was normal for him to be stubborn at this time.
He looked at Xu Cheng with a ferocious look.
"It just so happens that President Jin is here today, so you don't have to find someone to fill out an application after you quit the association."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Xu Cheng ignored the idiot in his eyes and said, "I've already said that I don't believe you got 50,000 yuan in sponsorship. I want to ask Manager Zhou."
"Then ask."
Li Zhengdong was already getting anxious, "Manager Zhou, have I been busy dealing with this matter for so many days?"
Manager Zhou nodded.
"Well, thank you for your hard work during this period, Xiao Li."
Li Zhengdong immediately turned his head and spoke with several times more confidence.
"Ha, did you hear that?! I brought in 50,000 yuan, what about you?!"
"Stupid."
Xu Cheng commented calmly.
"What did you say?" Li Zhengdong thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Xu Cheng in disbelief for several seconds.
"I said you 're an idiot, do you want me to repeat it a few more times?"
“You, you, you…”
Li Zhengdong's face turned red with anger, "Don't go too far, Xu Cheng, you are a vulgar person. When you can't beat me, you start to swear. It's vulgar, just vulgar."
"Why don't I call you an idiot? How come I can't beat you? Manager Zhou just talked for a long time, but did he ever say that you brought in the sponsorship? How can you be so ordinary and so confident that you directly believe that you brought in 50,000 yuan?"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Li Zhengdong said several good words in a row with a dark face after listening to Xu Cheng's words. "Since you are still stubborn and still refuse to give up, Manager Zhou, can you please tell him in person that I raised the 50,000 yuan and ask this guy to stop affecting everyone's mood here?"
At this moment, Li Zhengdong was certain that Manager Zhou would stand on his side, so he didn't even look in Manager Zhou's direction and maintained a confrontation with Xu Cheng.
Manager Zhou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
"Of course... I can't..."
“Hehe.”
Li Zhengdong smiled smugly at first, but when he heard what Manager Zhou said clearly, he turned around in disbelief.
He rubbed his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
Manager Zhou said slowly, "Of course not. This sponsorship does not seem to have anything to do with you, classmate."
Everyone was stunned at this time, not knowing why things suddenly turned around here.
Li Zhengdong tried even harder to maintain his smile, but despite this, one could hear obvious disbelief in his tone.
"How, how can it be okay?"
"Didn't you just say that I've been busy lately? Manager Zhou, please don't joke around at this time, okay?!"
By the end of his speech, Li Zhengdong was already a little hysterical.
Manager Zhou just pushed him away with disdain, "Student Li, I appreciate your efforts these days, but let's be honest, you didn't bring in this sponsorship in the first place, so why are you doing this?"
Why do you have to do this?
After hearing this, Li Zhengdong felt a little dizzy.
Doesn't this mean that all his previous plans, including the bet between him and Xu Cheng, and his uncle's two thousand dollars, have all gone down the drain?
"Why isn't it me?!"
Li Zhengdong became a little agitated and tried to reach out to grab Manager Zhou by the collar.
Jin Shuhong immediately stopped him, stood in front of Manager Zhou, and scolded him harshly.
"Li Zhengdong, what the hell are you doing? How dare you fight in school? You want to be expelled, right?"
“I, I…”
Li Zhengdong felt as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water. His face turned pale and he was unable to speak.
At this time, Jin Shuhong turned around and smiled at Manager Zhou.
"Manager Zhou, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll deal with the conflict here as soon as possible. Please go to the front and take a seat. The rehearsal will begin soon."
Manager Zhou was unusually indifferent at this moment and shook his head.
"I think it's better not to do that."
He glanced at the student union and said, "I doubt the ability of your school and the quality of your students. The sponsorship issue may careless on the part of the company. We may have to withdraw our sponsorship."
withdraw?!
These two words hit Jin Shuhong on the head like a dull hammer.
He had promised the college leaders that this welcome party would be the grandest one since the school was founded.
This is related to the favor of the college leaders towards him and involves his eligibility for admission to graduate school.
You absolutely cannot withdraw it!
"Why are you suddenly withdrawing... Haha, what happened today was just an accident... an accident..." Jin Shuhong tried his best to save the situation with a flattering face.
Shi Xiaoqing, who was standing by, saw this scene and spat lightly, feeling relieved.
"Now all our efforts have been in vain. No one should think of taking advantage of us. We deserve it."
Huang Zifei just watched silently without saying a word.
Seeing that Manager Zhou really didn't seem to leave any room for redemption, Jin Shuhong's face turned greener and greener.
But perhaps God had not completely given up on him. Manager Zhou stopped and looked back.
"Let's put it this way. President Su still admires Xu Cheng and thinks he is very capable. If he is the general manager of this party, I think the sponsorship issue can be discussed again."
Jin Shuhong was stunned.
Xu Cheng?
If things are to take a turn for the better, does this person still need to be there?
Li Zhengdong was even more unbelievable.
If the sponsorship is withdrawn, he can at least get back on his feet in the bet.
But at this moment, Manager Zhou's words completely pushed him into complete defeat.
"Student Xu Cheng, he's only a freshman. If he becomes the chief director, I'm afraid..."
Manager Zhou nodded. "Well, I agree with you. See you later, classmate."
After saying that, he turned away without looking back.
"Slow down, slow down!"
Jin Shuhong quickly stopped Manager Zhou and said, "We can talk, Manager Zhou, you have to let me talk to Student Xu."
He turned around and walked in front of Xu Cheng, saying embarrassedly.
"Student Xu Cheng...if you have time, I would like to let you be the chief director of the welcome party..."
"I won't do it." Xu Cheng refused flatly.
Jin Shuhong's face turned pale.
"Student Xu Cheng, just give me some face."
"Face? Is it possible for an irrelevant student like me to give face to President Jin? Come to think of it, it seems like I am redundant to stay here."
The people around were almost dumbfounded.
What happened today?
Li Zhengdong, who was at the peak of his career, and Jin Shuhong, the student union president, were repeatedly humiliated in front of a freshman named Xu Cheng.
What is this person's background?
That’s too awesome!
"Xu Cheng, I was inappropriate in what I said just now. I formally apologize to you."
Jin Shuhong was a man of great adaptability. As he spoke, he bowed deeply in the direction of Xu Cheng.
This made the people around them even more dumbfounded.
This Xu Cheng, he is really... awesome today.
Seeing that things had come to this, Xu Cheng decided to quit while he was ahead. After all, he had been coveting the position of chief director for a long time, so he could just play with Jin Shuhong a little. There was no reason for him to really refuse.
"Since President Jin trusts me so much, then fine, I am willing to take on this task for the Student Union."
Jin Shuhong was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, I hope you can work hard, Xu Cheng. I am looking forward to the evening party directed by you."
Xu Cheng smiled and glanced in a certain direction out of the corner of his eye.
"Did some people say they would get out of the student union?"
Li Zhengdong's body shook.
The gazes from everyone on him felt like thorns piercing his back.
"I...I'm quitting the student union. I'll submit my application when I get back."
After saying that, he no longer had the face to stay here, so he turned around and left the sports center.
After the dust settled, Xu Cheng slowly walked over to Lin Wanzhou who was sitting in the corner.
"Look, I said there was a chance to watch the rehearsal. How about I arrange a VIP seat for you?"
"Don't come on, who knows where you want to take me and what to do."
The girl dodged quickly.
Xu Cheng was left looking like he was wronged.
"I'm so innocent."
"How could you think so bad of me..."
