Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

He, a freshman, had become the vice president, and without his own people, he would be isolated by others in no time at all. Surely he wouldn't still be crying to the principal then, right?

Xu Qingfan couldn't afford to lose face like that!

In the end, both of them were just making suggestions. Seeing Xu Qingfan's resolute attitude, they could only compromise.

But their dissatisfaction with him deepened a little bit more as well.

After interviewing a few more groups, he passed He Caiting, who had come with him, especially since her performance was very good.

[Why can't I see them anywhere?]

What he actually wanted most at that moment was to show off in front of the five girls, but whether they had gone to eat or gone home to shower, their figures were nowhere to be seen despite the interview going on for so long.

Xu Qingfan coped with the small scale of the interview with ease, while simultaneously plotting in his mind how to get back at Principal Old Deng.

[For instance, planning a 5,000-meter teachers' run during the sports festival, no, no, that's too cruel given their ages, maybe make it 3,000 meters instead!]

"Damn!"

"Am I seeing things? Look, everybody, look!"

Just as Xu Qingfan was getting bored, a familiar voice instantly caught his attention.

The girl who was pointing at her with great surprise was none other than Xiao Ruawen!

Xia Xiaoxiao, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, Wu Lingyu, and a bunch of their friends, were all looking at Xu Qingfan, who was acting as an interviewer, with equally shocked expressions.

The five girls knew some of the inside dealings between Xu Qingfan and the principal, but they hadn't found it too hard to accept.

But the classmates that came with them were so shocked their mouths could fit eggs.

"That... your Brother Fan... he... how is he acting as a student council interviewer?"

"Wasn't that the idiot Du Haitao's seat just now?"

"It seems like it was."

Xu Qingfan raised his eyebrows at the five girls standing outside the door, feeling the interview get interesting all of a sudden.

After finishing the interview for this group, the five girls he had been expecting quickly entered, along with two others named Wang Xuan and Chen Qi.

"Each of you, give a thirty-second self-introduction, starting with Lin Wanning." Xu Qingfan completely ignored the two sitting beside him and began with a smile looking at Lin Wanning.

Upon being called, Lin Wanning rose with a giggle: "Hehe~ I'm Lin Wanning from Class 1 (2), Brother Qing Fan, don't you know?"

Lin Wanning playfully blinked, her eyes only on Xu Qingfan, who was sitting between the others.

When she sat back down, the second person to stand was Zhang Yiyi, "I'm Zhang Yiyi from Class 1 (2). I like listening to music, drawing, and hitting my brother!"

She cutely scrunched her nose at Xu Qingfan before sitting down as well.

"Pfft... hahaha, I'm Xiao Ruawen from Class 1 (16). I like singing, and also, Brother Fan is awesome!"

After Xiao Ruawen sat down, it was Xia Xiaoxiao's turn to stand.

"Class 1, Xia Xiaoxiao." Her introduction was as simple as ever, and she even gave him a glare after speaking.

"I'm Wu Lingyu from Class 1 (10), Brother Fan!" Finally, Wu Lingyu stood up and gave him a toothy smile.

Song Shuhang and Chen Dongfang leaned back stealthily and exchanged a glance.

Damn, the two finally understood why Du Haitao hated Xu Qingfan so much, they would hate him too!

It seemed all five beautiful girls had a connection with him!

[Don't think you're so great just because you got in through the back door, let's see who'll follow your orders then!] The two were clearly jealous, both thinking bitterly to themselves.

Xu Qingfan had already completely forgotten about them, and after Wang Xuan and Chen Qi had also introduced themselves, he addressed them:

"Mr. Jin Yong created many outstanding characters, like Zhang Wuji, who was affectionate yet heartless, and Wei Xiaobao, who married seven wives. Now, I want you to discuss, with a modern mindset, which one of these men is more suitable for a lifelong commitment, you have ten minutes!"

This was obviously not a pre-written question but merely a probing trial by a certain someone.

The five girls all gave Xu Qingfan a weird look, but seeing that he was reading from a paper with occasional hesitations, they thought that must have been the real content of the interview.

"Definitely choose Zhang Wuji. We're using modern thinking, how could you marry seven wives!" There were exactly seven people here, and Wang Xuan counted them off as she spoke.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged glances and tacitly chose not to speak.

"I also think Zhang Wuji is the choice. If you don't hold out until the end, who knows, you might just be Princess Zhao Min!" Seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment, Xia Xiaoxiao was the second to share her opinion.

The others nodded in agreement after hearing her opinion, only Xu Qingfan felt a chill after hearing it.

[She still wants to be Zhao Min!]

"Hahaha, if I really had to choose between these two, I might as well stay single forever. After all, modern society doesn't forbid a woman from not marrying!" Xiao Ruawen said with a giggle.

"Haha, that seems true!"

Soon, Wu Lingyu also spoke up, "If I were Xiaozhao, I would pick Zhang Wuji; if I were Shuang'er, I would choose Wei Xiaobao; if I were neither, then I wouldn't pick either, and wouldn't like them!"

After she finished speaking, she seriously glanced at Xu Qingfan, and seeing that Brother Fan was also staring at her, she shyly lowered her head.

[That's my little Yu!]

Xu Qingfan felt relieved inside, although it was just a hypothetical question, the girl's expression was clear enough.

[I hope Brother Fan didn't catch on...] Wu Lingyu thought, her heart fluttering wildly.

"I think one should choose Wei Xiaobao, yeah. Even though he's a womanizer, it's better to seize the happiness you can have right now, rather than chasing after elusive happiness!"

"I also think Wei Xiaobao is the better choice. It might end up being Princess Zhao Min in the end, but it could also be Zhou Zhiruo!"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi looked at each other and smiled, sharing their answers.

[This naughty brother, you understand, right? We don't mind!]

[Yiyi and I both want to marry Brother Qing Fan, yeah!]

Both thought to themselves, but quickly added a caveat: [However, he can't marry seven wives, at most only two!]

Xu Qingfan's pupils lit up again, clearly because of Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi's answers.

[Not ruining the friendship between two people, it seems there's still a chance!]

After all, it was just a ridiculous student council interview, and he didn't take their answers as if they were set in stone.

"Okay, thank you all for your answers. The interview is now over, and the results will be announced during tomorrow's extended break time. Thank you all for participating!"

After all seven had answered, Xu Qingfan finally announced the end of the interviews.

"Hehe~ Brother Qing Fan, good luck!"

"We'll go buy you some food!"

"Bye-bye, Brother Fan!"

After watching the seven people leave, Xu Qingfan placed all seven resumes on the 'accepted' pile. This time's student council interview had completely been his show.

Song Shuhang and Chen Dongfang, although very displeased inside, couldn't do anything about it, and had to watch as if they were being openly cuckolded.

The girls who had come with the five of them soon had their interviews in his group, and of course, Xu Qingfan continued to give them the green light.

After all, for a department like the student council, not much capability is required. Who wouldn't know how to do tasks like keeping attendance and grading, as long as they have hands and feet?

After finishing everyone's interviews, it was already seven in the evening.

The friends of the five girls had already returned to their classes earlier, only they were still patiently waiting for Xu Qingfan under the streetlight, for him to finish work.

Xu Qingfan wolfed down his dinner; the five girls squatted quietly beside the bench watching him.

"Brother Qing Fan, eat slowly, have some water!"

"Burp~ I was starved. I was suddenly called to be an interview officer and didn't have time for food." After taking a few large gulps of water handed by Lin Wanning, Xu Qingfan finally felt revived.

"Hahaha~ Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong said in the group chat that stupid Du Haitao even cried, is it true, Brother Fan?" Xiao Ruawen asked eagerly.

"I saw him glaring at me fiercely, thought he was about to rush over and hit someone, but who knew that the next second he'd start crying, scaring me silly!"

"How can he still act like a primary school kid?" Xia Xiaoxiao showed a look of disdain.

"It's quite normal. Probably he's used to having things go his way. If you guys suddenly got scolded by a teacher now, Yiyi and Xiaoxiao probably wouldn't care much, but Ruawen and Wanning would definitely shed pearls." Xu Qingfan said as he explained.

"Hey! Stop slandering, Brother Fan, I would not shed pearls!" Xiao Ruawen immediately disagreed.

"Hmph~ Wanning wouldn't either!" Lin Wanning pouted and complained.

"Alright, alright, none of you would, only that stupid Du Haitao would!"

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha..."
