Chapter 255: Chapter 125: Come Home with Me Later_2

[Gou Dongxi, deceitful with charm and guile (✔️)]

Su Huai read each message one by one, his expression calm, but his heart in turmoil.

Damn, the power of the many can melt gold...

Although I’m truly not that kind of person, I can’t stand it when there are always troublesome people trying to take me down!

The conflict between the two of them today wasn’t really resolved, and now with online trolls hammering away, how am I supposed to deal with them pressing me for an explanation?

Su Huai had only managed to delay the problem rather than solve it.

If I don’t go home for the October holiday, I’m definitely going to hang out with Gu Jiuyue, which means I’m definitely going to face Chen Nuanhan’s aftermath, and all the real trouble is yet to come.

Su Huai had braced himself for the challenge, but the reality was clear—the two of them were like oil and water, bound to clash sooner or later.

If it were just them, I might struggle through, but if those troublemakers from the forums who love a big scene get involved... it’s tough, tough, tough!

No way!

I’ve got to deal with these hidden dangers fast!

"Forcing my hand, aren’t you..."

A glint of cold light flashed in Su Huai’s eyes as he sneered through gritted teeth, "Gossiping is a disease, it’s time for them to fear the might of an admin..."

Sao Ji’s forehead was full of question marks, "Admin? Do you mean you’re going to delete posts? Isn’t our forum under direct school administration?"

"Whichever department it falls under doesn’t matter, they think they can just feed off my melon? They’ve got some nerve!"

Sao Ji hissed, realizing that his brother Huai was about to do something unspeakable.

But as he looked at Su Huai’s cold face, he couldn’t for the life of him figure out how to turn the situation around.

...

Luckily there was no class for the first period in the afternoon, so after Su Huai’s nap he headed straight for the administrative building.

He knocked on Director Zhang’s office, and found Old Zhang engrossed in writing something rapidly.

"What’s up? If it’s a small matter, speak up, if it’s something big, wait till I’m finished."

Was it a small matter or a big one?

Su Huai thought about it, decided to make a big deal out of it, so he silently went to change Old Zhang’s tea and also steeped a cup for himself.

He waited until the other party was done before starting to stir the pot.

"Teacher, I’ve noticed that quite a few people at school are taking an interest in Gu Jiuyue."

Look at that, what would you call an alarmist?

What do you call never resting until their words shock everyone?

With one sentence, he instantly caught Director Zhang’s full attention.

"Oh?" Old Zhang looked up solemnly, "What exactly happened?"

Su Huai frowned, concern flooding his voice as he replied, "Quite a few upperclassmen are loitering outside our class, asking around about Gu Jiuyue, always ready to make a move whenever they have the chance.

All that’s still manageable, our class’s boys and girls can handle them, but now the forums are also a complete mess..."

"It’s very messy?"

Director Zhang completely put down his pen, looked up, and fixed his gaze on Su Huai, "What’s being said exactly?"

"There’s a lot."

Su Huai didn’t exaggerate, but deliberately toned it down, handling the situation with ambiguity.

"Let’s not go into specifics, but it’s pretty outrageous, mainly because of Gu Jiuyue’s exceptional appearance and temperament. Boys like her, girls are jealous. Face-to-face in reality, people surely wouldn’t say so many strange things, but online, without the need to conceal, it might seem a bit darker."

"Hmm... this is indeed a serious issue."

Zhang Yaowen immediately understood, and with his grasp of human nature, even imagined something worse.

"We must take this matter very seriously. You did well to bring this to my attention in a timely manner, good job, Su!"

Su Huai modestly shook his head, "I’m only doing what I should, no need for praise."

"Alright, calm and prepared for potential issues, you’ve earned a merit for this!"

After a round of praise from Director Zhang, he looked on expectantly and asked, "Since you’ve come to report this, you must have some ideas, right? How do you plan to get rid of that inappropriate content?"

"I feel we need to tackle it at the root."

The time to display his plan had come, and Gou Huai’s thoughts were incredibly comprehensive.

"First off, we definitely can’t shut down the forum, because if we do, people will just find other places to communicate. As long as there is a need for communication, you can’t block freedom of speech;

Secondly, setting up banned words may also be useless. If we block the words ’Gu Jiuyue’, people could still use ’GJY’ or ’Goddess Gu’ instead—there are many ways around it.

Lastly, we can’t issue administrative orders. The school has no reason to forbid discussions about any student. To do so would cast an even worse light on Gu Jiuyue."

"So, the most suitable solution would be to establish a high-level administrative privilege, then have me manually review and delete those not overly inflammatory posts, revoke the posting privileges of students who are excessive, and issue warnings for extremely negative comments."

"In this way, we avoid escalating the situation, while sufficiently protecting the privacy and psychological well-being of student Gu Jiuyue. Teacher, what do you think?"

Zhang Yaowen wasn’t someone who could be easily persuaded by anyone’s words.

But Su Huai’s ideas were too mature and comprehensive; he simply couldn’t find any loopholes, and it was hard not to agree.

"Good!"

Director Zhang slammed the table with approval.

"You’ve indeed managed to solve the problem without creating new ones. Very good! Okay, I’ll go and apply for an administrator account for you right away."

He paused, then let out a deep sigh, "It’s just too bad for you, adding so much more work to your load..."

It’s not hard, really not hard at all!

Who’s actually going to do the grunt work?

Give me the account, and let Gao, Er Gao, Sao Ji, and Yu Yangyang take turns on duty. It won’t even cost 3000 yuan a month, just peanuts!

Gou Huai had already figured out his scheme when he started hatching his plans; he certainly wasn’t going to be the one glued to the forum.

The main reason he had to have the authority was to serve his personal interests under the guise of public benefit—protecting Gu Jiuyue’s reputation while safeguarding his own.

From now on, anyone who calls me a scumbag will face my righteous iron fist!

Ga ga ga ga...

Su Huai chuckled mischievously to himself, his face full of mission and honor, "Jiuyue is a really good girl. Publicly, I’m her class representative, and privately, I’m her good friend. It’s something that I should do; there’s nothing hard about it."

"Hmm."

Zhang Yaowen nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the more he looked at this kid, the more agreeable he seemed.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for nothing, I’ll be sure to talk to Professor Cheng about this later on. In three years, whether high or low, I’ll send you to Tsinghua University for grad school!"

Zhang had started making his habitual grand promises again, but this was certainly not an empty check; Gu Jiuyue’s grandfather could truly make it happen.

Su Huai shook his head nonchalantly, maintaining his composure, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t do things just to please others. Let’s talk about rewards based on merit later; the most important thing is to get the current job done well."

"Okay, I’ll handle it right now."

Zhang Yaowen suddenly got down to business, promptly picking up the phone to communicate with someone.

Three minutes later, a piece of paper with the administrator account and password was laid out in front of Su Huai.

Nice!

Gou Huai clenched his fist in excitement, feeling one step closer to becoming the school tyrant...

Of course, he wouldn’t go too far, not calling himself a scumbag, not fantasizing about his Nuannuan, Yueyue, Yu, and so on...Huai promised not to turn into a power-abusing dog voluntarily.

Anyway, any mischief would surely be done by Gao and Er Gao; Huai is now and will forever be the embodiment of righteousness.

Tucking away the piece of paper with glee, Righteous Huai was about to take his leave when Zhang Yaowen suddenly called out to him again.

"Wait a second, why didn’t you go to Professor Cheng’s dinner invitation last time?"

"Ah?"

Su Huai was momentarily stuck, last time? When was that?

It took him a moment to remember that it was supposed to be the day after the crayfish feast; he had been busy negotiating with Cheese and the platform.

Of course, that wasn’t the right answer to give.

Gou Huai’s excuse came out smoothly: "My take is that one shouldn’t take rewards without merits. In fact, I haven’t done much, just minor tasks within my regular duties. Professor Cheng’s hospitality is a sign of her refinement, and I can’t possibly take it for granted..."

"You, you..."

Zhang Yaowen shook his head and sighed, but his expression was full of admiration.

"Su, you’re really good in every aspect, just a bit too proud and proper. Must there be a substantial reason for a teacher inviting a student to visit their home? Can’t it just be because they like you? Don’t do that next time, what’s so hard about having a meal?"

"Okay." Su Huai chuckled, "Next time I’m invited, I’ll definitely go."

"You’d better!" Zhang Yaowen pointed his finger at Su Huai, "Remember what you said!"

"I’ve got it, I’ve got it, now I’ll be off, teacher."

Su Huai walked off feeling pleased with himself, rushing back to his dorm to prepare for a slaughtering spree against the campus gossips.

He didn’t take Zhang Yaowen’s proxy invitation seriously.

Goddess Gu’s house, to be avoided if possible – her grandma was a bit scary.

Then, during the break of the second class that afternoon, Professor Cheng personally sent out an invitation.

"Su, granny here has visited your abode three times already! You’re not busy today, right? Come home with Yueyue after school, please don’t push it off again."

Ah?!

Had he still failed to dodge it?

Su Huai knit his brows, thinking of an excuse, when Gu Jiuyue suddenly approached him in front of everyone, calmly stating.

"Come home with me later."

No problem, it’s nothing serious.
