Getting Rejected Makes Me Stronger Chapter 74

Su Cheng had no interest in eavesdropping on the girls' gossip, so she headed towards the exit of the library.

Isn't she carefree?

He was going to ensure she couldn't afford to be carefree anymore!

Moreover, he was going to stop her from spreading online rumors.

But with classmates around, it was inconvenient.

So, he was leaving to prepare.

Su Cheng left the library.

He stood outside the library, glanced at the parking lot and shook his head, then left the school gate to hail a taxi.

"Take me to the nearby mall."

He gave the address and then closed his eyes to rest.

"Alright."

The driver nodded, started the car, and left the library.

Li Guanqi watched the taxi drive away, glanced in the direction of the library, and then withdrew his gaze.

………………………………

Half an hour later

Su Cheng, having finished her shopping, returned to school. She headed towards the nearby restroom. Since school was over, there weren't many people around, making the restroom quite deserted.

She stood at the washbasin, took out a color pencil from her pocket, and began to apply a thick layer to all her exposed skin.

Soon, her originally fair skin was painted a sallow color, her face devoid of any color, resembling a middle-aged man. Without close inspection, one would hardly recognize her as a high school student.

Especially since night had fallen and the library was lit with eye-friendly lights.

Unless someone stared directly at her face, they wouldn't notice her makeup.

Next, she entered the restroom.

She took out a set of official jacket, leather shoes, trousers, and a white inner shirt from her system, and then put on a mask.

A three-piece suit for the higher-ups.

In an instant,

Her aura completely changed. At first glance, she gave off a very solemn feeling.

Neat, steady, simple, approachable, and serious.

This was the aura of a leader!

This outfit was not just to conceal her real age.

It was a symbol that she was a school leader.

Since outsiders couldn't enter the school, who else could it be wearing this outfit if not a school leader?

Most importantly, some of the school leaders also wore grey or black official jackets.

After doing all this, she put on her mask, took out her thermos cup, and walked out slowly with her hands behind her back.

Now, no matter how you looked at her, she seemed like a school leader, not a student.

She walked on the path to the library, head down, her gait confident and casual, without any restraint, as if she was strolling in her own garden.

Moreover, her pace was very slow.

Like a leader inspecting something.

"Good day, leader!"

"Hello, teacher!"

"Good day, leader!"

Along the way, whether it was students or school staff, everyone bowed slightly and greeted her.

Su Cheng calmly waved her hand and continued walking until she reached the library entrance.

At this moment, there were only four young people left in the library.

As expected, these four were all new members.

And conveniently, there was a staff member by the door who quickly opened the door and enthusiastically said, "Leader, please come in!"

Su Cheng nodded, then strolled in leisurely.

She exuded an aura of authority, very much like a leader.

"You carry on with your work, I'm just here to borrow some materials!"

Su Cheng lowered his voice, deliberately putting on a stern face.

The staff member looked a bit embarrassed, but still respectfully replied, "Alright, leader, please go ahead."

Su Cheng nodded and walked straight to the borrowing section. He noticed that the woman named Sister Qin, who worked there, was openly reading web novels. She was engrossed in her reading, apparently without any concern.

His gaze fell on her. She had a good figure, a delicate face, a somewhat thin face, and was not short, but looked very slender.

She was the mature woman type.

He couldn't help but frown, walked over, and knocked on the desk to get her attention.

Sister Qin was startled, closed her book, looked up, and saw a man in his fifties wearing a mask standing in front of her. She quickly stood up, very sincerely, "Leader, I'm sorry, I was reading a novel and didn't notice you came in. I hope you don't mind."

"What are you reading?" Su Cheng asked, frowning.

"This is my personal item, unrelated to work. I hope you don't ask about it, thank you!" Sister Qin said, her voice very pleasant.

"How can this be your private matter? If you choose to work at a school, you must abide by school rules!" Su Cheng said sternly.

Sister Qin opened her mouth as if she wanted to argue, but Su Cheng interrupted her, "This kind of book, if seen by school students, would have a very bad influence. Our school library is a protected area for intellectual property, and we absolutely do not allow this kind of situation in the library."

Su Cheng's words carried a strong criticism.

"Leader, first of all, this kind of book is within the range allowed by the state for reading, and I believe that a university student should have the ability to discern. Although this kind of book does not conform to your concept, I don't think it needs to be restricted as strictly as in childhood." Sister Qin said calmly.

This woman's logical language and thinking ability were very strong.

This surprised Su Cheng a bit. This kind of woman was not simple, hard to deal with.

But it wasn't a big problem. He was now in a superior position.

He was the leader.

So he turned his head, pointed to a staff member, and said, "You, go inform everyone, we're having a meeting!"

"Alright!"

The staff member immediately agreed, then hurriedly walked towards the others.

Before long, four staff members, all new, gathered in the conference room.

Including Sister Qin, who was also sitting below.

Her face looked a bit unhappy.

Su Cheng scanned everyone, cleared his throat, and then said, "The reason I called this meeting today is mainly because there is something I must say. I hope everyone can seriously consider the consequences of this incident."

His gaze swept over Sister Qin as he held up a book and said, "This book, theoretically, is your personal item, but in principle, it absolutely should not appear in the library!"

As his words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Sister Qin, and her face turned ugly.

"The library is the most important information space, knowledge space, communication space, and spiritual home in Yan City High School."

Su Cheng continued to speak, "This is the core area of the school, and the most sacred temple of human knowledge."

"Slam~"

As he said this, he picked up a web novel, and slapped it on the table, shouting loudly, "As far as I know, many people are addicted to these nutritionless web novels, and now this unhealthy trend has begun to spread in our library. I hope that everyone present can strictly manage, not allowing any web novels, let alone spreading such novels within the school, otherwise, severe punishment awaits!"

Su Cheng's voice was extraordinarily loud.

His gaze swept over the crowd present, finally resting on Sister Qin, "I know you're new here, but I hope you can understand that your actions have a very negative impact on our students. If I hear any rumors about this kind of book, then I will have your job revoked, and choose someone more capable!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The meeting room fell into a brief silence.

He spoke too bluntly, with one sentence, he expressed the purpose of this meeting thoroughly.

That is, web literature is absolutely not allowed in the library.

Sister Qin's eyes were wide open, somewhat angry.

Her gaze at Su Cheng was filled with hostility.

Su Cheng, however, didn't feel anything, and continued, "Alright, that's it for today's meeting. Please supervise each other and implement this as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the web novel with him.

"Little Ye."

"Sister Ye."

"This matter indeed violates the library regulations."

"Don't ever bring such things here in the future."

The other three, looking at Ye Ruiqin, began to comfort her.

Ye Ruiqin lowered her head, her expression unseen.

Then she took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, "Okay, everyone, I've got it."

"Mm."

"Sister Ye, this job is hard to come by."

"Don't lose your livelihood over this."

"Thank you, I understand."

Ye Ruiqin lowered her head, her voice calm continued, "Do you all know this leader? Don't you find his voice a bit strange?"

"Who else in the school would dare to wear this outfit besides the big leaders? Besides, outsiders can't get in!"

A young girl with glasses said.

"But I don't think he looks like a leader."

Sister Qin frowned.

"Ah, he must be a school leader, after all, who would have time to hold meetings for fun?"

"No."

Ye Ruiqin shook her head, "I still feel he's very strange, not to mention he wore a mask throughout the meeting, and his skin and movements seemed very deliberately covering something. Besides, which leader would waste their free time holding a meeting? If there really was a meeting, it would be held tomorrow when everyone is present!"

Saying this, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

On the other side

"Heh?"

Just as Su Cheng walked into the bathroom, he ran into the Old Principal. The two were taken aback for a moment, then began to size each other up.

"Excuse my poor eyesight, comrade, who are you?"

The Old Principal asked with a puzzled look.

At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Simultaneously, Ye Ruiqin also came over and stopped in surprise upon seeing this scene.

"Indeed, it was a sham!"

He naturally recognized the Old Principal.

However, looking at this situation, the Old Principal didn't seem to recognize the man who just took charge!

Yet, in the next second, she saw the man in the mask, who had taken the lead, pull out a pack of soft cigarettes from his pocket.

Then, she saw the Old Principal receive and light one.

"Why are you still at school so late?"

The Old Principal extended his hand and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder, laughing as he spoke.

"My young friend, what you don't know is that in this position, I have responsibilities. I have to bear more."

Su Cheng burst out laughing.

Then the Old Principal took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Come on, let's talk in my office."

"Sure, let's go. It's been a while since we had a good chat."

With that, the two of them, arm in arm, walked outside.

"………"

Ye Ruiqin stood dumbfounded in place for quite a while before she came back to her senses, murmuring to herself, "So he really was the leader."
