Chapter 628 Cla.s.s representative, Ren Xiaosu

Early in the morning, Qin Sheng wrapped up tightly in a disguise and arrived at the courtyard house where Ren Xiaosu and the others were staying.

He handed a student pa.s.s to Ren Xiaosu and said in embarra.s.sment, “I wanted to apply for a new student pa.s.s for you, but the dean of Qinghe University did not agree. He said that no suspicious persons are allowed to enter his school at the moment in case his students come to any harm. The old dean can be a little stubborn, so not even we Riders are influential enough to ask for a favor.”

“Something like that happened?” Ren Xiaosu asked, “There are actually things that a Rider can’t handle in Luoyang City?”

“Yes, there’s two places where our words don’t matter. To be precise, it doesn’t matter who’s speaking.” Qin Sheng explained, “One of them is Hope Media, and the other is Qinghe University. Hope Media’s Chief Editor Jiang Xu and Princ.i.p.al Hu Xingzhi of Qinghe University are both very principled people. We also respect the two of them very much.”

“Then what about this student pa.s.s?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“It’s my cousin’s student pa.s.s,” Qin Sheng replied. “Luckily, he has a similar face to yours, although he wears gla.s.ses. When you go through the security gate at school, just tell them you didn’t put on your gla.s.ses and that you look a little different from your ID photo. That’ll be good enough for them. You have to enter the school at 8 every morning and leave school at 8 PM. Be on time. Our undercover agents only work these two s.h.i.+fts.”

Ren Xiaosu nodded. “OK.”

It looked like Qin Sheng had arranged everything for him. Ren Xiaosu was a little embarra.s.sed that he had to trouble Qin Sheng to arrange so many things for him at such a critical time.

However, Ren Xiaosu noticed Qin Sheng wanted to say something. He asked Qin Sheng with concern, “Is there anything else?”

“Oh.” Qin Sheng awkwardly took out a schedule and said, “This is my cousin’s cla.s.s schedule.”

“What do you mean?” Ren Xiaosu was stunned.

“Look, since he gave you his student pa.s.s, he can’t go to school anymore. You have to take his place in cla.s.s and get marked for attendance,” Qin Sheng said helplessly. Actually, his cousin just wanted to ditch. Now that he had someone attending school on his behalf, he couldn’t be happier. He could stay at home and play video games all day.

However, Qin Sheng felt embarra.s.sed because this man in front of him was the future commander of the Northwest. Making the commander help with attendance was too much.

“Sure, no problem,” Ren Xiaosu agreed. Since they were helping him, he could not possibly reject such a trivial request. Besides, Ren Xiaosu also wanted to attend some college cla.s.ses to see what it was all about.

After Qin Sheng finished going through the important matters, he was about to leave when Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “When will those people make their move?”

“I don’t know.” Qin Sheng shook his head. “We’ve killed a bunch of them these past two days. Perhaps, our harshness has shocked them. So, many of them have started lying low for now. However, Teacher said they’ll definitely take action. They’re just waiting for the right opportunity.”

…

Ren Xiaosu would be going to Qinghe University alone. Zhou Yingxue tried to persuade Qin Sheng to get her a student pa.s.s as well, but Qin Sheng rejected her request. After all, she did not look like a student in the slightest.

When entering Qinghe University, the troops enforcing the lockdown outside the school did not even raise any doubts about Ren Xiaosu’s student identification.

This was not his first time at Qinghe University, but the campus was still a maze to him.

But what left him most speechless was that every cla.s.s was actually held in a different cla.s.sroom. In other words, he found himself losing his way before the start of every cla.s.s.

“There’s only one cla.s.s in the morning?” Ren Xiaosu looked at the schedule in his hands and thought the Qinghe University students had it easy. No wonder these people had the time to do all sorts of activities since they were mostly idle.

Ren Xiaosu walked around campus and inspected his surroundings. He was hoping to spot that familiar figure he was looking for, but he got nothing.

When he finally located the cla.s.sroom for the cla.s.s and went in, all the students in cla.s.s turned around to look at Ren Xiaosu. Someone said, “Mate, this is the Humanities and Political Science cla.s.s. Did you come to the wrong place?”

“Wait, do y’all know Zheng Hang?” Ren Xiaosu asked, checking his cla.s.s schedule.

“Yes.” A girl said, “He’s a cla.s.smate of ours.”

Ren Xiaosu grinned and said, “Oh, I’m in the right place then. I’m here to attend cla.s.s on his behalf. When does the teacher usually mark attendance?”

The students in the cla.s.sroom were stunned. A male student shouted hyperbolically, “That Zheng Hang is way too lazy. He actually spent money to get someone to show up for attendance? Hey, how much do you charge for getting marked for attendance?”

These words stunned Ren Xiaosu. How did this get linked to charging a fee? Could there really be people in Qinghe University offering an attendance point scheme as a business?

He grinned and replied, “30 yuan per cla.s.s.”

“That’s quite a fair price.” A male student joked, “But with two to three cla.s.ses per day, I’m afraid that only a nouveau riche kid like Zheng Hang can afford it. I’m so jealous.”

At this moment, the sound of a cane tapping on the ground came from outside the cla.s.sroom. The cla.s.s immediately quieted down. A male student shot Ren Xiaosu a look to get him to sit down.

But it was too late. The tapping of the cane had already reached the door. When Ren Xiaosu turned around, both him and the person outside were stunned.

The person who came to cla.s.s was the chief editor of Hope Media, Jiang Xu!

There were many visiting professors at Qinghe University. These professors were all people with extremely high social standing and academic attainment, so much so that they could be called the authorities in their fields.

And Jiang Xu was one such visiting professor who taught at Qinghe University. He was even personally invited to teach by the university’s dean, Hu Xingzhi.

Ever since the incident at Stronghold 61, Jiang Xu could not help but think of Ren Xiaosu. It was not just how those two numbers really stood out, but also because he always felt that sorrowful phrase about the era should not have been spoken by a young man that age.

What kinds of experiences had he had to come up with something like that?

However, Jiang Xu did not expect to actually meet Ren Xiaosu again in cla.s.s. He had not seen him in cla.s.s before. Although Jiang Xu had a lot of students, this young man had a unique aura about him, so he would definitely remember if he had seen Ren Xiaosu in school before.

Jiang Xu asked slowly, “What’s your name?”

Ren Xiaosu thought this was bad, but he still forced himself to say, “My name is Zheng Hang.”

Jiang Xu did not expose him. Instead, he walked up to the teaching podium. “It just so happens that I still don’t have a cla.s.s representative for this cla.s.s. In the future, Zheng Hang, you’ll be my cla.s.s representative. Your duties will include tasks like collecting homework.”

The students observed a moment of silence for Zheng Hang.

How did Zheng Hang manage to find someone show up for attendance and end up getting appointed as the cla.s.s representative all of a sudden? Who knew what kind of miserable life would be waiting for Zheng Hang. If Jiang Xu found out that Zheng Hang had gotten someone to stand in for him in cla.s.s, he might even get held back for several years.
