Exciting 1979!

Chapter 99: Wei Ming Becomes the Female Dormitory Manager

Zhu Lin watched Wei Ming leave, with a tape in his hand, and he also took away ten yuan.

If my partner knew that I had spent 15 yuan on a few tapes of foreign songs, he would probably get anxious again.

But she also inquired and found out that a tape of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs would cost seven or eight yuan. If it was English songs, it would probably be more expensive. Xiao Wei might have to pay for it.

Oh, I must treat him to a meal next time.

Wei Ming didn't contribute any money, but he got in touch with Melinda because of it, which can be considered a kind of fate.

When he returned to the Peking University dormitory, he saw Aaron sitting at the table waiting for him.

"You are finally back. If you don't come back, I will leave."

He took out the illustration he had drawn.

“Here are all the illustrations in the back.”

"Oh, you've finished all of them!" Wei Ming was surprised. In fact, he only needed to submit about ten drawings to cope with the December issue.

Liu Rulong: "I am very motivated to paint now. Do you have other work? If not, I will ask other publications."

Wei Ming has the highest priority for him.

Wei Ming smiled and said, "I'm almost done writing my martial arts novel. Can you help me draw a few illustrations? Not too many, five or six will be enough."

After all, "Story Club" is not a magazine for children, so it does not need too many illustrations to assist reading.

"Okay, oh," Aaron remembered something and took out a box from his bag, "This is the snuff bottle you asked grandpa to draw for you before."

The vessel is not big, but the smaller it is, the more it reflects the artist's skill in drawing.

If I guessed correctly, the old man painted "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green all the way to the sky. The evening wind blows the willows, the sound of the flute is faint, and the sunset is beyond the mountains..."

"Farewell" by Li Shutong.

I just said that I wanted to give it to a foreign friend who was about to return home, so the old man gave it some free rein, and it was very fitting for the situation.

"Okay, great!"

He asked Aaron to read the novel here: "I'll give it to others first."

Because he couldn't take the manuscript away, Aaron usually copied out some passages that were suitable for painting and then went back to express his own ideas.

Wei Ming entered Shaoyuan with the snuff bottle. He never expected that he didn't see the dormitory manager today, so Wei Ming entered easily.

At this time, most of the Peking University students living with their parents are in the cafeteria, so all you see are foreign girls.

"Hi, Sophie."

"Monica, your new hairstyle looks great."

"Nagazawa Yui, what kind of cooking are you working on? Sashimi, I don't need that, I just ate after dinner, thank you."

Because he came to the girls' dormitory so many times, and he was handsome, funny and humorous, completely different from those shy college students who didn't dare to look them in the eye, Wei Ming easily became familiar with these foreign girls.

When he went upstairs, Wei Ming saw a strange face, and the other person was obviously stunned when he saw the man.

At first Wei Ming didn't care, but when he walked to Melinda's dormitory, he found that the door was open, but there was no one inside, and the room was a little messy.

Wei Ming immediately had an idea: We were robbed!
The first suspect was the strange girl. He hurried back, but the girl had already gone downstairs.

"Lao Qin, stop her!" Wei Ming shouted to the guard at Shaoyuan.

However, Lao Qin was old and slow, so the woman dodged him.

He also asked: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Wei Ming: "Catch the thief!"

The woman ran very fast, but Wei Ming ran even faster. When she approached the west door, Wei Ming grabbed her hair and pressed her under him.

Then, valuable items such as watches, earrings, and a Playboy magazine fell from her body.

Wei Ming quickly picked it up and put it in his arms.

At his call, the security guard at the west gate immediately ran over.

"What's wrong, Brother Ming?" It happened to be the colleague who swapped shifts with him that day, "This woman went to the Shaoyuan girls' dormitory to steal something and I caught her. Let's go and send her to the security guard."

"Hey, you are so brave, you even dare to steal things from international students."

Wei Ming: "Ordinary students don't have much to steal."

"That seems to be the case."

So the two men took the woman to the security office and asked a female staff member to come over and search her body to see what she had stolen besides the watch and ring.

Wei Ming was actually a little soft-hearted. The watch was a foreign brand and was not cheap. It also involved foreign affairs and might affect the reputation of Peking University. The girl would probably not be given a light sentence and might spend quite a long time in jail.

However, seeing the vicious expression on the other person's face when he looked at him, Wei Ming thought to himself, you should be sentenced to a few more years, and you should be thankful that you can avoid 83 years, and maybe even save your life.

However, even if such a person comes out in the future, if he is not well educated, he will become the kind of old lady who falls to the ground and blackmails people.

The security director went to a meeting, but because it involved international students, he was called out to explain the situation.

When he returned to the meeting, the old man sitting in the middle remembered that he was in charge of public security, so he asked, "Did something happen?"

"Reporting to Principal Wang, it's Shaoyuan. Oh, there's a thief in the foreign student dormitory. A lot of valuables have been stolen." The old man first asked: "Has the person been caught?"

"He's been caught and is being interrogated."

"Is it someone from within the school or outside?"

"Out-of-school personnel."

The newly appointed executive vice secretary and vice president Wang Lubin breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Well, today's meeting ends here. I'll go over with you to take a look at the situation."

He had just been transferred from Qufu Normal University. Although he had moved from the top position to the third-in-command, the gap between the two schools was still huge.

And because Principal Zhou is a scholar, he is busy with academic matters all day long and has to go abroad for visits and inspections from time to time, so he is the one who is responsible for the specific work in the school.

Before Principal Wang and others arrived, Melinda, who had just returned from taking a shower, already knew what had happened.

She checked her precious paintings first, and thankfully, although the other party had opened them, he did not take them away.

Then she went into the security room with several other girls and saw Wei Ming.

"Leonardo, is this the thief you caught?" Melinda asked excitedly.

Wei Ming smiled slightly: "Yes." Yes, I am the kind of unlucky person who gets into trouble easily.

But he didn't say much. After all, it wouldn't be good to appear too familiar with Melinda in front of so many colleagues, and he couldn't return the Playboy in his arms to her right away.

Your colleagues thought: Why are you pretending? Everyone knows about your relationship.

After a while, a female staff member brought the stolen goods up and asked Melinda to identify them.

Melinda said that they were all her things, and then said angrily: "I am the poorest person in the building, and they stole from me. How can they be so ignorant!"

She was definitely not the poorest. There were many people from third world countries in the dormitory. Even if they were considered good in their own countries, they were still much worse off than her, a poor British girl.

However, the most valuable thing about Melinda is the watch. Everything else, even the jewelry, is cheap stuff and not worth much.

Of course, what she considers to be worthless may be an astronomical sum to that female burglar.

Just when Wei Ming was about to retreat, Principal Wang and the security director arrived.

Wei Ming was stunned. The old man that day was the new vice-president? !

Principal Wang still remembered Wei Ming and nodded at him. He then asked about the details of the situation, then apologized to Melinda and expressed his hope to make a small matter out of a big one.

If her painting was destroyed, Melinda felt that the matter would never end, but since it was not lost or damaged, she didn't care.

She also said: "I hope the school can reward the staff who caught the bad guys."

Principal Wang asked, "Is the comrade who caught the thief here?"

Then everyone pointed at Wei Ming.

Wei Ming pulled the guy at the gate over.

"We caught it together."

My buddy was so touched that his eyes were red. In fact, Wei Ming had already caught the person at that time, he just sent him over together.

Principal Wang nodded, shook hands with Wei Ming, praised him for a few words, and then asked, "You are so young, have you been hired as a full-time employee?"

The security director immediately said, "Xiao Wei was hired as a full-time employee just one month after coming to Peking University. Principal Wang, you should have heard of Peking University writer Wei Ming."

"Oh, is that you? I've heard of you for a long time!" Principal Wang tightened his grip on Wei Ming's hand. Although he had only been in the literary world for a short time, he was already a famous writer. Even if he didn't pay attention to the literary world, he had heard of him.

Wei Ming smiled and said, "If there's nothing else to do here, I'll go back first. I still have work to do in the evening."

As soon as Wei Ming left, the dormitory manager of the girls' dormitory finally arrived.

Seeing her, Melinda suddenly said, "We strongly recommend changing the dormitory manager!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Not only did she have this idea, but several other girls also agreed. They said that this dormitory manager was too nosy and liked to meddle in everything.

Principal Wang said that the school would seriously consider it. After all, she had just made such a work mistake, so it was reasonable to change her position.

"Mr. Principal, can we nominate candidates ourselves?" Melinda asked again.

"Oh? Do you have any staff members you know?"

Melinda chuckled: "The security guard just now was very serious and responsible. I think he is a perfect fit."

The female classmates responded loudly, "Melinda, you are such a little genius! If Wei Ming were the dormitory manager, they would be willing to wear bikinis every day!"

Principal Wang laughed. This was a bit ridiculous. Letting a young man be the dormitory manager for a group of young girls?
The dormitory manager also quit her job. This job was so easy. Sometimes you could find a lot of treasures when rummaging through the garbage. She was reluctant to give it up.

So she immediately reported it: "Principal, you can't listen to her. This foreign woman is having an affair with Wei Ming. You must investigate it thoroughly!"

"Comrade, please be careful with your address. Do you have basic respect for our international students?"

Principal Wang taught him, "Also, what does it mean to have an affair? Do either of them have a family? If not, what does it matter even if they are in a relationship? What era do you think this is? You're investigating this strictly!"

He then told Melinda that he would seriously consider her proposal.

Although it is risky to let a wolf guard a flock of sheep, if honor is used as a constraint, the wolf should be more intimidating than the leader of the sheep when fulfilling its duties...
