I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 392. Boomerang Hits Himself

Outside the meeting hall where the student council interviews were being held, a dense crowd of sixty or seventy freshmen stood. Apart from a few who were just there for the fun of it, most of them were there for their interviews.

Similar to the interviews conducted by university student unions and social work organizations, student union interviews are also conducted in the form of a round-table meeting.

Simply put, it involves groups of seven people, with the interviewer asking questions randomly and recording the performance of each person in the group for efficient screening.

There were six interviewers in total, who were divided into two groups to conduct the interviews.

Unfortunately, Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang were chosen as the leaders, and they ended up being assigned to the same group that Du Haitao was in charge of.

After a brief ten-minute interview, Du Haitao arrogantly pointed at the two of them and said, "You two don't meet the student council's recruitment requirements, please leave!"

The other two interviewers exchanged a glance and shrugged at each other.

Lai Chenglang, with his fiery temper, couldn't stand this coward. He pointed at his nose and cursed, "You say we don't meet the recruitment requirements, what's your reasoning?"

"I really don't know how the school let someone like you become the vice president. You showed off and got slapped in the face, so you took revenge!" Wu Shichong didn't give the other party any face and directly tore off the mask of civility.

The freshmen, who had been anxiously waiting outside, swarmed over as soon as they saw the excitement.

Du Haitao originally only harbored resentment towards Xu Qingfan, but after walking around outside, he didn't see Xu Qingfan anywhere.

Despite inwardly despising the other person as a coward, he was still furious because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

[You've walked right into my trap; if you want to embarrass yourselves, I'll grant your wish!]
Du Haitao looked at him with disdain and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "With your disrespectful attitude towards your seniors, the student council will never recruit you. But since you want to know the reason, I will tell you now, so that no one will say that I am abusing my power!"

"First of all, what do you take the student council interview for? Shopping at the market? Shorts and sandals, all slouchy and nonchalant, that's you!"

He first pointed at Wu Shichong's nose and finished cursing him out, then it was Lai Chenglang's turn: "And you, your hair covers your eyebrows, and your nails are longer than the monkeys on Mount Emei. Do you want to practice the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, and Du Haitao became even more smug, continuing his sarcasm: "The student council is supposed to represent the school's image. Do you think the two of you can represent the school's image?"

"Ridiculous!"

The crowd immediately erupted in even louder laughter. One person, one position; the student council only recruits twenty new students in total. If these two are eliminated, then the chances of the rest being accepted will be much higher.

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang's faces flushed red and then turned pale. After all, they were just naive freshmen and couldn't compare to Du Haitao, who had been training in the student council for three years.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to treat you to a meal if you stay here? Students number 15-21, prepare for the second round of interviews!" Du Haitao was already ecstatic.

The only regret is that the person standing here being criticized is not Xu Qingfan, whom he hates the most.

"What are you all doing blocking this way? Those of you who haven't had your interviews yet should go eat. Where are the people maintaining order?"

The crowd fell silent briefly, and soon the human wall spontaneously dispersed to both sides, leaving a passageway in the middle.

Du Haitao spotted Xu Qingfan approaching at first glance. A fleeting look of resentment crossed his face, and his blood boiled with excitement.

"plum"

Before he could even speak, Li Tiancai's words dampened his spirits: "Du Haitao, what are you still doing here?"

"Huh? Isn't this a student council interview, Teacher Li?" Du Haitao was visibly flustered, because he remembered something that had happened not long ago. "Didn't I just have someone notify you?" Li Tiancai was a little displeased, thinking to himself, how could this guy be so inconsiderate, having to say it in front of so many people?

Everyone present held their breath, afraid that they might inadvertently cause the young teacher to frown.

"No... why?

Du Haitao seemed at a loss, because a student council member had just told him that he had been expelled.

Du Haitao thought the person was making fun of him and even gave him a good scolding.

He's numb; does that mean what the other person said is true?
"Principal Song personally informed you that if you have any questions, you can go up to the second floor now and confront Principal Song face to face!" Li Tiancai's face grew increasingly gloomy.

His embarrassing incident had even reached the principal, who was still asking him why. Li Tiancai was now only praying that Principal Song wouldn't completely negate his work ability because of this.

"Why should I?!"

Seeing Du Haitao's exasperated state, Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of relief, like drinking an ice-cold Sprite on a hot summer day.

"Please don't obstruct the normal operation of the student council interview. You can leave now. Xiaoming and Xiaozhang, you two, please ask Du to leave!"

The principal's office is upstairs. Li Tiancai just wants to resolve the problem quickly and has no intention of giving Du Haitao any face.

[He's got no brains at all! How did this idiot become the vice president of the student council? Damn it!]
Seeing Du Haitao suddenly look at him with a hateful expression, Xu Qingfan subconsciously adopted a defensive posture.

The next second, something completely unexpected happened.

"Waaaaah!" Du Haitao burst into tears in front of everyone.

"Pfft~ Hahaha."

Only after the person was dragged out of the conference room did a murmur of laughter ripple through the crowd.

Li Tiancai's lips trembled slightly as he spoke, "Du Haitao has seriously damaged the image of the student union and the school by making inappropriate remarks. After unanimous discussion by the school, Du Haitao has been removed from his position as vice president of the student union and expelled from the student union."

Another murmur arose from the crowd, and many people's gazes toward Xu Qingfan changed.

Clearly, few people present were unaware of the conflict between Xu Qingfan and the student council vice president.

Especially Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong, the two idiots thought that Li Tiancai was the savior that Brother Fan had brought. Now they worshipped him to death, and they would even offer their butts to him.

But with teachers present, neither of them dared to cause a ruckus; they just kept grinning at Xu Qingfan.

“I apologize for taking up a little of your time. The student council members will have a short meeting of a few minutes,” he glanced at his watch, “and will resume the recruitment interviews at 4:50.”

Then Li Tiancai whispered something in Xu Qingfan's ear, and Xu Qingfan nodded.

Then, Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong watched helplessly as their brother Fan followed a group of student council members into the meeting room.

With a "snap," the door was slammed shut from the inside.
