Chapter 344 Suddenly Resigning_1
Ning Aoxue couldn't believe that Lin Feng was actually going to the Student Union Headquarters to resign!
When she personally heard Lin Feng say, "I would like to formally submit my resignation from the position of Deputy Head of the Sports Department to the Organization Department," she was stunned for several seconds...
What on earth was this bastard up to? Why resign so suddenly when things were fine? Didn't he know that being a Student Union officer not only helped develop personal skills but also boosted one's resume? This was such a rare opportunity, one that many extremely talented students fought tooth and nail for but couldn't get!
The Sports Department might be relatively quiet, but he was still the deputy head! He was a leader, no matter how minor! Why would he just resign!
Ning Aoxue, still unaware of what was happening, was about to fly into a rage. If Lin Feng hadn't shot her a reassuring glance, she probably would have caused a scene right then and there!
Su Zi wasn't particularly concerned about her own future prospects, so she wasn't as agitated as Ning Aoxue. Besides, Su Zi had already noticed the hidden glint of ruthlessness in Lin Feng's eyes. She knew this guy was definitely scheming something; the only question was, who was he targeting?
At this thought, Su Zi felt a surge of excitement. She pulled Ning Aoxue to a nearby seat in the lounge area, calmly watching the show unfold.
Lin Feng submitted his resignation to Zhang Kuan.
Because they had to direct the setup for the freshman welcoming gala, not many Student Union officers were present at the School of Management Student Union Headquarters. Most were out on tasks. Only Zhang Kuan, the head of the Organization Department, and a few others like Sun Yi, remained at the headquarters to handle the matter of Liu Yunfeng's resignation.
"You want to resign? Can you tell me why?" Zhang Kuan, who was deeply calculating, was secretly pleased to hear Lin Feng state his intention to resign. This meant he would have completed the task Qian Duoduo had assigned him. However, his face showed no trace of excitement. Instead, he gazed at Lin Feng with a look of curiosity and regret, like a leader regarding his most capable subordinate.
"Feeling guilty, are we? Weren't you so arrogant just now? You even came to threaten us, hmph!" Sun Yi's face lit up with smug satisfaction seeing Lin Feng meekly submitting his resignation. She assumed Lin Feng was the one who had given the phone to Liu Yunfeng, and that he was resigning now because he couldn't handle the pressure and had no other choice. A wave of superiority washed over her, and she directed her cold taunts at Lin Feng.
"If I don't feel it's suitable, I don't want to do it. Simple as that! What other reason is needed?" Lin Feng ignored Sun Yi's taunts, gazing at Zhang Kuan with a faint smile as he spoke nonchalantly.
This idiot! Ning Aoxue, listening from the side, was both angry and exasperated, and she couldn't stop herself from cursing under her breath.
"Miss Ning, calm down. I don't think things are that simple!" Su Zi said with a smile, pulling Ning Aoxue back. "Just because Lin Feng hasn't said anything doesn't mean nothing is going on! Look at those two from the Organization Department; it's obvious they were waiting here specifically to deal with Lin Feng! And listen to how nasty that woman sounds. There's definitely something fishy going on. Let's just wait and watch the show! Lin Feng won't let us down."
Ning Aoxue calmed down. Looking at Zhang Kuan's and Sun Yi's expressions, she saw that, just as Su Zi had said, they weren't at all surprised by Lin Feng's resignation. Their current behavior seemed more like they were deliberately trying to find fault, as if they wanted Lin Feng to admit to some crime!
It seemed something had indeed happened that I didn't know about. But how could Su Zi figure it out? Does she understand Lin Feng better than I do? Ning Aoxue felt a twinge of sourness in her heart.
"So you're the one who understands him best! Hmph!" Ning Aoxue said sourly to Su Zi.
"Hehe, is Miss Ning getting jealous?" Su Zi detected the undertone in Ning Aoxue's words and asked with a mischievous grin.
"Who's jealous? You're being ridiculous!" Ning Aoxue felt her cheeks flush, her composure faltering as her best friend saw right through her. That damn girl, she's certainly perceptive...
Zhang Kuan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised by Lin Feng's reply. It wasn't so much the content of Lin Feng's words, but his attitude—this utterly disdainful attitude—that puzzled him. If Lin Feng truly didn't care about this deputy head position, he wouldn't have made a special trip to resign. But he came to resign, yet he's acting so disdainfully. Something feels off...
Zhang Kuan lightly tapped the fingers of his left hand on the table. He felt he couldn't quite grasp Lin Feng's way of thinking. Nevertheless, his left hand still quietly slipped into his pants pocket, feeling for a recording pen. He lightly pressed the record button, and only then did he ask Lin Feng, "There must be a reason for resigning. By resigning now, are you admitting that you were the one who gave that phone to Liu Yunfeng?"
This fellow, actually using a recording pen to question me. How insidious! Lin Feng smiled faintly. Zhang Kuan's minute actions, however slight, couldn't possibly escape his notice. Lin Feng's hearing was so acute he could even hear the faint rustle of Zhang Kuan's left hand fumbling with his clothes...
"If you think so, then so be it. Anyway, I can't be bothered to explain," Lin Feng replied, deliberately feigning helplessness.
"So it really was you who gave it! I knew it all along!" Sun Yi exclaimed triumphantly, gloating as she believed she had seen through Lin Feng's true colors.
"We operate based on evidence!" Zhang Kuan felt Lin Feng's vague statement might not be sufficient as evidence, so he continued to press with leading questions, "How much is this Mi3 phone worth?"
Advertisements for the Mi3 phone were everywhere, and its price tag of 1,500 was widely known. Zhang Kuan was waiting for Lin Feng to state the specific amount, so he could then use the recording as evidence to confirm that Lin Feng had indeed gifted the phone to Liu Yunfeng...
This way, Lin Feng would be leaving under the accusation of having bribed a Student Union officer to gain his position, and he would absolutely never be able to rejoin the Student Union!
Zhang Kuan had calculated everything perfectly, but unfortunately for him, he didn't know Lin Feng had already detected that he was recording.
"I don't know. Somewhere over a thousand, or around two thousand, I suppose!" Lin Feng replied vaguely with another smile.
"What's this about that phone?" Ning Aoxue suddenly found herself a bit lost. She couldn't understand why Lin Feng wanting to resign would be connected to a Mi3 phone.
"Maybe... Lin Feng was framed for stealing a phone?" Su Zi ventured a guess, letting her imagination run wild.
Lin Feng stealing a phone... How could that be... Ning Aoxue couldn't help but roll her eyes. If Lin Feng were really thought to have stolen a phone, that would be truly ridiculous! That guy gets a monthly allowance of one hundred thousand from his dad. Would he really need to steal a phone?!
Hearing Lin Feng's vague response, Zhang Kuan felt somewhat unresigned. However, he couldn't press Lin Feng for a specific number because he knew the phone wasn't bought by Lin Feng, and pressing further might lead to unforeseen complications.
"Still saying you didn't buy it? What a hypocritical villain!" Sun Yi couldn't help but scorn Lin Feng, as if he, sitting opposite her, was an utterly detestable traitor to the nation!
"We approve your resignation. Since this is a normal resignation, according to the rules, you can nominate a candidate from among the officers of the Sports Department to fill your position. We will assess him, and if he is suitable, he will take over your position," Zhang Kuan suddenly said very amicably.
I get to nominate a candidate? There's such a good deal?
Lin Feng smiled. His roommate, Wang Zikai, was an officer in the Sports Department. No point letting a good opportunity go to an outsider. He'll do.
"Mm, I've noted it down. Wang Zikai." After Zhang Kuan carefully wrote Wang Zikai's name in his notebook, he suddenly looked at Lin Feng with a faint smile and said, "Since you are no longer a member of the Student Union, you are not suitable to remain at the Student Union Headquarters. So, please leave now."
