BXBX NOVEL Chapter 391 – Benefits Of Being The Class Leader
Chapter 391 – Benefits Of Being The Class Leader
I was momentarily speechless after I heard the main reason Rose Group wanted to increase their influence was to take control over all the handsome men.
Xing Xing asked anxiously:
“Brother Ye, iff they took over the west district, what should I do if they took a fancy to me and forced me to be their boyfriend?”
Relax, it will never be your turn. The amount of acne on your face is enough to make up the star charts of the northern hemisphere. But the most handsome boy in our school, Shen ShaoYi, is in imminent danger.
Shen ShaoYi already said we weren’t friends anymore because of the misunderstanding with Xiong YaoYue, but I can’t just stand idly on the sidelines and watch him fall into the hands of the Rose Group.
I first comforted Xing Xing: The Rose Group wouldn’t fall for you with your looks. But since the masked leader said they hate people with the Ye surname, it’s best to follow their movements and try to figure out what grudges they have with the Ye family.
And I told him to notify me immediately if there’s any signs of them progressing to 28 Middle.
Xing Xing grumbled: “I actually looked good when I was younger...”
What good is it even if you looked as good as me when you were younger? I mean, you still ended up with your current appearance, so you should face reality like a man.
The class leader came to look for me during the afternoon break. She wanted me to go with her to the clothing factory at our school to test the clothing.
I was a bit curious and asked: “Why pick me?”
“I wanted to go with Xiao Xiong.” the class leader said with regret, “But she suddenly got her period, so it’s not convenient for her.”
It was hard for the class leader to break her habits as she still called Xiong YaoYue as Xiao Xiong, unlike other classmates who have gradually begun calling her Winnie.
Actually, Winnie wasn’t on her period, but something worse happened partly because of me. If the class leader knew the truth, she might have already picked up her gun and sent me on my way.
Currently, there were only two samples of clothing made. The largest size available for men and women, respectively. Our main goal is to feel the quality and check any errors on the design.
In terms of height, the class leader is first among the girls. I’m on par with Niu ShiLi (he might actually be a few centimeters taller if he didn’t slouch). So, it’s reasonable the class leader came to ask me to try on the clothes.
But there’s a problem if I take a closer look. If you have to try on both the clothes for both men and women, why did you arrange for Winnie to accompany you? Or were you planning on inviting both Winnie and Niu ShiLi, but since Winnie wasn’t feeling well, you got rid of both of them?
I feel better the more I think about it.
After entering the clothing factory filled with loud machines, a skinny male worker wearing a blue uniform, a blue hat, and a pair of white gloves was explaining the benefits of ordering from this factory to another student.
He might seem like a regular worker, but he’s actually the vice-director of this factory and also the husband of the director. There’s a weird phenomenon in the factory where all the male workers look okay, but all the female workers look appalling. Apparently, the hiring was all based on the director’s decisions.
The factory is hotter than ever in the summer and the large overhead ceiling fan doesn’t really help. The vice-director got cotton mouth explaining their products:
“We use a different method from traditional screen printing. Images printed with the traditional method easily cracks and leaves sticky residue. Ours feel great, the image is clear, and the materials are soft and breathable!”
“Can you make it a bit cheaper.” He seemed to be a male class leader for one of the third year classes. He looks educated but gives off an air of being a profiteer. The mole on his forehead just makes people even more uncomfortable.
“We really can’t make it any cheaper.” The vice-director said, “¥35 a unit is already the lowest margin we accept. If I reduce it by even a dollar, my wife wouldn’t forgive me... and you really get what you pay for...”
The mole boy interrupted the vice-director and said, “Okay, then sell it to e for ¥40 a piece.”
“What?” The vice-director thought he misheard.
The mole boy lowered his voice, thinking he wouldn’t be overheard as he was surrounded by the rumbling of the machines.
“You write ¥40 a piece on the receipt, but still only charge me ¥35 a piece, so I’ll receive a kickback of ¥5 per piece. Do you understand?”
How immoral. How can you betray your classmate’s trust as the class leader? I mean even if your class had 50 students, you would only earn at most 5 x 50 = ¥250. If you even have to embezzle ¥250, then if you become a politician later on, you would definitely be a greedy and corrupt one.
If you’re wondering why the class leader and I could hear his whispers, it’s because I already developed greater than average hearing trying to hide from the Little Tyrant as a kid. As for the class leader, her hearing and vision are both better than mines as she inherited the genetics of superior hunters.
Although his words makes you mad, it’s still an outside matter that doesn’t have anything to do with us. It’s not like he’s the class leader of class 3-2 where brother Tao attends, so I was really to lazy to get involved.
But the class leader was furious and walked behind the mole boy without any hesitation. She glared daggers at him and questioned him in a loud voice:
“Is a person like you even worthy of being a class leader?”
The mole boy quivered and turned around. He didn’t know how to respond when he saw a slender beauty with long black hair down to her waist.
The vice-director quickly tried to resolve the conflict: “It’s all a misunderstanding, classmates shouldn’t fight!”
“What misunderstanding? We all heard it loud and clear.” The class leader glared at the vice-director, “Have you even given any other students kickbacks before?”
The vice-director, who was afraid of conflict and his wife, appeared to be half a head shorter as he trembled in front of Shu Sha:
“No, no, I’ve never done it before. He’s the first one to make that request!”
He was quick to betray the mole boy.
The mole boy was enraged and pointed at Shu Sha and asked: “Which class are you from? You’re not a third year, right? Why are you interfering with your senior?”
The class leader looked at the mole boy with despise. Since he was taller than her, she had to purposely raise her head to stare at him like he was a pile of trash.
“I’m class 2-3’s class leader, Shu Sha. A degenerate like you doesn’t even deserve to hear my introduction, so the introduction was actually for the vice-director. It can’t be helped if you overhead it.”
The vice-director rubbed his hands together in an untimely manner, “Nice to meet you.”
Nice to meet you my ass, it’s not like this is the first time you’ve met the class leader! It’s only because the last time she came to place the order, she was acting reasonably without emitting her Justice Devil aura.
“So, it’s you.” the mole boy grimaced, “I heard there was a second year female class leader who likes to stick her nose in other people’s business, but I never expected to meet her. What benefit do you obtain from interfering in our class’ business?”
“Do you always need benefits to do something?” Shu Sha asked in response.
“No shit. Who wants to work for free in today’s society? Don’t think you have the right to criticize others simply because your hands are clean. You had your own selfish reasons for becoming the class leader.”
“Huh, that’s the first time I’ve heard that. Then please enlighten me on the reasons I don’t even know myself.”
“You... only want to be popular with the boys?”
“What?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Your looks are on par with the prettiest girl in school, you’re also impartial and just. Such a perfect person wouldn’t exist in this world, so you must be pretending.”
Even though the class leader does spoil her brother, she has OCD, and she’s hated by animals, the mole guy is still partially correct as she’s the closest girl to being perfect at 28 Middle.
“There’s been a ton of girls like you in history who pretend to be pure and different than the others, because they wanted men to adore them and worship them.”
Shu Sha sighed with ridicule, “I’ve met too many petty and vulgar people, so I can’t be pure anymore. Gong CaiCai from our class is someone who’s actually pure... but I guess I still learned a bit from you.”
The mole guy realized his attacks weren’t effective, but didn’t give up:
“You’re acting as a lovable and respectable class leader so you can attract attention and hook in a wealthy husband.”
Shu Sha laughed out loud, “Gong CaiCai is probably the one with the best family background at 28 Middle, so am I going to marry one of her cousins?”
“Well, you’re definitely different than how you appear on the outside. Oh right, I remember how you once tortured cats in the cat society when you were still a first year. This proves you have a twisted mind, and you probably even posted videos online of you killing cats by stepping on them with high heels.”
“Non...sense. I’ve never tortured or kileld cats.”
“Then tell me why you were kicked out of the cat club?” The mole guy became more giddy.
“I know.” the vice-director suddenly interrupted, “Before the cat club was disbanded, they used to host club activities at our factory.”
“At that time, when this girl walked in, the cats would all run away when she didn’t even do anything as if they’ve seen a ghost...”
So you’ve already seen the class leader last year!
“That proves it.” the mole guy was relentless, “Your hands must have been covered with the fresh blood of cats, so they all ran away.”
“That’s not why they ran away.”
“Then why?”
“It’s because...” the class leader seemed embarrassed to say she had hunter’s eyes that disperses animals.
“No words left, you cat torturer?” the mole guy got back his feeling of superiority, “I’m only a bit greedy, but someone wicked like you will pretend to be innocent and marry into a rich family and maybe even kill your own kid to keep all the money to yourself!”
The class leader bit her lips, but when she was about to rebuke him, I walked out of the shadows of one of the machines.
Right when mole guy met my gaze, he went limp and retreated two steps and bumped into the vice-director.
“Please be careful, there’s a cutting machine here...”
Mole guy trembled as if something on his body was ‘cut’, then he darted forward right into a position where he was surrounded by me and the class leader.
“Aren’t... you Ye Lin? What are you doing with the class leader from class 2-3?”
“Did you forget I’m also from class 2-3? I’ve recently also become the PE committee member for our class.”
I pretended to smile amicably, but since I actually look scarier when I smile, the mole guy backed up and crashed into the vice-director once again.
“Shit. Since you’re always with Guo SongTao, I almost forgot you weren’t a third year.”
“It’s fine if you forgot.” I spoke amicably while cracking my knuckles, “Senior, our class leader is young and doesn’t know any better. If she offended you in any way please don’t be upset. I’ll give you a beating as an apology, okay?”
The mole guy went deathly pale. He suddenly moved his feet and wanted to escape. I could have easily caught him and gave him a beating, but the vice-director got between us and waved his arms: “Don’t fight, don’t fight.”
The class leader also blocked me with one arm: “I asked you to be the PE committee member, not a hired thug.”
In the end, the mole guy got away. But before he left out the factory doors, he turned around and said nastily:
“Don’t look down on third years! There will eventually be people in the school who disapproves of you and then you’ll be taught a lesson!”
“Senior, why are you running?” I ridiculed from behind, “If you’re a man, then I’ll see you today at 6 by the school’s back gate!”
“I stoop to the level of a crazy person.” His voice gradually disappeared along with his figure.
Shu Sha went to the vice-director and asked for mole guys contact info. He had just taken down his number so he gave it to her.
Shu Sha immediately called the mole guy’s cell phone.
“Hello, who is it?” the mole guy’s tone was really unfriendly.
“Shu Sha, the one who was just arguing with you.” Shu Sha replied calmly.
“You... why did you call me?”
“I wanted to warn you to not proceed with your plan of taking a cut of the profits.”
“I just want to do it. If this factory doesn’t cooperate, then I’ll just go to another one.”
“Actually, my phone has a recording feature and I’ve recorded our entire previous conversation including our current one.”
“What?”
“It should be easy to find out which third year class you’re from? Then, I’ll find the proper prices based on the clothes you bought. If I find you took a cut, I will play your ‘brilliant ideas’ for your classmates to hear, do you not care? “
