"There's no way?" Zhao Ruoxi's large eyes flashed with fury. "He Youcai, this is your mistake, and you have to find a way to fix it."
Lin Feilong stepped in to smooth things over, saying gently, "Ruoxi, you know this is just a minor slip-up. The system must have glitched — it's not He Youcai's fault."
"But what about Shi Feng? Since we already know where the problem is, can't Shi Feng go in now?" Zhao Ruoxi completely ignored Lin Feilong and pressed He Youcai directly. "You can prove that Shi Feng did register, and there's nothing wrong with his student status at our school. Isn't that enough?"
"Classmate Zhao Ruoxi, I can indeed confirm that Shi Feng registered, but whether someone can be let in is not up to me as the student council president. You'd have to ask this security brother here." He Youcai shifted his gaze to the security team leader standing nearby, instantly dumping the entire burden on him as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him anymore, putting on a bitter smile.
But the corner of the security team leader's mouth was visibly twitching.
This was originally a case of not registering someone else, yet now all the trouble was being tossed his way. If He Youcai insisted on letting Shi Feng in, he was just a security team leader — what could he do?
The implication was already crystal clear.
Absolutely not allowed — that was He Youcai's answer.
But Zhao Ruoxi in front of him didn't look easy to deal with either, otherwise why would He Youcai have bothered coming up with so many excuses to brush her off.
The dilemma left the security team leader at a loss for what to choose.
However, Zhao Ruoxi's furious gaze had already shifted to the security team leader. She said in a low voice, "What about you?"
"Me?" Even a security team leader who had been through battlefields hesitated, but he still said sternly. "It's my duty. Miss, please don't make things difficult for me."
"You!"
"Class monitor. That's enough. There's nothing we can do. If I can't get in, then I can't get in."
Shi Feng held back the furious Zhao Ruoxi, glanced at He Youcai and the others with a smile. They really knew how to ruin his plans.
"Classmate Shi Feng is the one who can understand me. This truly was an accident, and I guarantee it won't happen again next time," He Youcai said with a cold laugh.
"Right, this problem definitely won't come up again next time," Zhou Yuhu said with a hearty laugh.
"Ruoxi, let's go. Uncle Jianhua is probably getting anxious." Lin Feilong shot Shi Feng a contemptuous smile, then turned to Zhao Ruoxi and said softly.
"Uncle Jianhua is coming?" Zhao Ruoxi was visibly startled, but then remembered that Shi Feng's problem still wasn't solved. A sudden inspiration struck her. "That's right! Uncle Jianhua is one of the sponsors of this social mixer. He should be able to do something."
"Shi Feng, wait here for a bit. I'll get Uncle Jianhua to come over, and then you'll definitely be able to get in."
Shi Feng nodded, and watched as Zhao Ruoxi rushed into the restaurant in a hurry. But in that instant, Shi Feng caught Lin Feilong flashing him a cold sneer.
That made Shi Feng feel a sense of unease.
"Classmate Shi Feng, I'd ask you to leave. This social mixer isn't for you." He Youcai waited until Zhao Ruoxi had gone before letting his mocking expression show. He then said to the security team leader, "Remember — don't let him take even half a step inside the building. Otherwise, you'd better pack your bags and get out."
"Understood."
With that, He Youcai and the others walked into the restaurant laughing. The security team leader stared hard at Shi Feng, ready to personally throw him out the moment he dared approach the building.
But Shi Feng wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was extraordinarily calm.
