Chapter Ninety-One: The Heart That Can't Look Directly
After going out of the dormitory building, Xu Huairou did not set foot directly on the way to the station, but went to a small drink shop outside the school with Wen Xun to sit. Wen Xun was still depressed because Xu Huairou was going to suspend her studies, but Xu Huairou was very calm, she had decided to tell Wen Xun what she had experienced for so long today.
Wen Xun stirred the ice cubes in her cup with a straw, and the ice cubes collided on the wall of the cup, making a crisp and pleasant sound, but listening to her ears only aggravated her upset.
She sighed and asked Xu Huairou, "So you brought me for a drink to tell me why you took a break from school?"
"Hmm. ”
"Why?"
"It's a long story, but don't worry, I'll tell you all. Right now. Xu Huairou said, took out her mobile phone, opened a private photo album, and handed it to Wen Xun.
Wen Xun took her phone and asked, "What is this?"
"It's proof. Xu Huairou said, "It's evidence that Director Ren has done some obscene deeds." Wen Xun, you know I'm working as an assistant to him, but my job is not as simple and clean as you think, and I've been threatened by him since he got drunk and I took indecent photos of me last Christmas. Since then, I have been forced to accompany him to various drinking parties and meet various bosses. To put it bluntly, he is a wine escort, and what he wants is never an assistant, but a wine escort. ”
Wen Xun couldn't digest the meaning of Xu Huairou's words, she flipped through the photo album in a daze, and asked, "But isn't Director Ren just the director of the academy, why does he have so many wine parties?"
"Head of the House is his steady job, but he also has a lucrative side hustle – I don't know exactly what it is. However, I heard that many rich people are like this, the main business is stable, and the side business makes a fortune. ”
"......" Wen Xun lowered his head, feeling that his brain was a little confused.
She recalled the days when she just felt that Xu Huairou was wrong, and she thought that Xu Huairou was just talking about an unhappy love, so she was depressed, but she didn't expect that she had experienced such a bad thing.
"So...... Are you going to take a leave of absence from school to avoid him?" she asked cautiously, afraid that what she said carelessly would make Xu Huairou even more sad.
"Nope. Xu Huairou said, "I want to expose him, so I try to keep evidence." I have tried to find other school leaders a while ago, but it seems that Director Ren has given the school a lot of money, so everyone ignores me. I was going to ask you to speak for me as a member of the Department of Public Information, but then I thought about it and thought it wouldn't be fair to you. I'm going to post a Weibo myself, buy some popularity, and expose him like that. But I'm also fighting to the death. Xu Huairou smiled a little desolately, "After the matter is over, I probably won't be able to go to school properly, so I have to suspend school." ”
After listening to the general course of the incident and looking at a lot of unsightly photographic evidence, Wen Xun gradually regained his calm and sobriety. She handed the phone back to Xu Huairou and said, "Don't take risks yourself, I'm willing to help you." ”
"Wen Xun, in fact, you have already helped me. ”
Wen Xun didn't understand why Xu Huairou said this, Xu Huairou also saw her confusion, and continued, "Because you took me to relax when I was on the verge of emotional collapse, and you also let me see how a self-disciplined and brave person lives every day." Wen Xun, to be honest, I admire you very much, I tried to think about it that day - the girls who were victims with me in this incident did not dare to stand up, but if this happened to Wen Xun, what would she do? The answer is, I know that you will definitely stand up. ”
"I wanted to be as brave as you, so I made a decision that I didn't dare to make. So, you've actually helped me. ”
After listening to Xu Huairou's words, Wen Xun still didn't change his mind. "But I still want to help you more practically, and you just think I'm helping you because I don't want to live in my dorm room. ”
Xu Huairou couldn't help laughing, "Ah? ”
"I'm not afraid, but I'm reluctant to let you go!" Wen Xun frowned, "In this way, you will anonymously submit to the official account of the Ministry of Information at that time, I am now the minister, and I can decide to send these out." You also said that you are not the only victim, so Director Ren will not lock you as the person who submits. How?"
"I can protect myself in this way, but what about you? You are indeed a minister, but in the end, whether it is the Ministry of Information or the Student Union, they all serve the school, and if you send something like this, the teacher will remove you, right?"
"Then let them withdraw. Wen Xun said, "If I keep saying that my purpose is to be the mouthpiece of my classmates, but I can't even protect my roommates, I am embarrassed to be a minister." ”
Xu Huairou was stunned, and then smiled, "I said, you are very brave. ”
"Did you agree to let me help you?"
"I think about it. ”
Wen Xun sighed, then thought of something, and asked Xu Huairou, "You said before that you still have something to do, what is it?"
"I'm ......," Xu Huairou pursed her lips.
"It's okay, forget if it's inconvenient. ”
"Nope. Xu Huairou said with determination, "I want to try to negotiate with him one last time to see if I can get him to destroy my indecent photos." I'm still concerned about this. ”
Wen Xun nodded, reached out and patted the back of Xu Huairou's hand to reassure. Xu Huairou also smiled and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I've figured it all out." ”
It was not early, Xu Huairou picked up her suitcase and took a car to the station, leaving Wen Xun still in a daze. She struggled to digest everything she had just heard, as if her brain had been overwhelmed by the amount of information and was only now truly awake.
She didn't know what the consequences would be after she really helped Xu Huairou send the official account, but no matter what, she had already decided. This is not only to help Xu Huairou, but also to help her herself not to become an indifferent bystander.
Leaving the drink shop, Wen Xun returned to school.
It's already summer vacation, and there are very few people on campus, and when I meet a few people who come and go, almost all of them are smiling. Wen Xun walked alone on campus and observed everyone, feeling that human beings were really too complicated.
There are a few people who are smiling now, and a few of them are really happy.
She knew the person of Director Ren - after all, he was the head of her academy, and she would always know a little. She remembered that Director Ren was very fond of laughing, and he smiled like an amiable uncle next door, making people feel that he had no frame at all. And he is very good and lenient with his students, which is why everyone is willing to be his assistant.
But now it seems that he turned out to be a well-dressed beast.
Unconsciously, Wen Xun had already walked downstairs to the building where Director Ren usually worked. She looked up at the heights, the glass reflecting the sunlight and keeping her eyes open.
Suddenly, she remembered the sentence:
- What is more incontemporable than the sun is the human heart.
She also suddenly felt very small, money, social status, she didn't have any of these, some were just passionate and lonely, and some were just clear right and wrong in her heart.
Can she really defeat someone like Director Ren like this?
Who knows. All she knew was that she wasn't going to give up on the fight out of fear.
