Lin Yu took a moment to focus and scrutinized her name badge, which read, "Mingren Girls High School, Class 12-3, Zhu Xueqi."
Meanwhile, Zhu Xueqi craned her slender neck to examine Lin Yu's badge. Internally, she murmured, "So, this scoundrel is named Lin Yu. He must be the new residential affairs teacher. Finally, you've fallen into my hands. Let's see how you'll meet your end." She silently plotted in her mind.
Lin Yu furrowed his brow, surprised to encounter this wealthy beauty again in this place. Given her vengeful nature, who knew what schemes this young lady might concoct this time? Moreover, this dormitory building was already incredibly difficult to manage. If things didn't go as expected, he might encounter some trouble.
Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid. When faced with adversity, one stands firm. If problems arise, he'd handle them with ease.
On the other side, Zhu Xueqi's petite lips curved slightly into a smile. Folding her arms, she leisurely approached the window and waved to him. "Hey, scoundrel, how delightful to meet you again here."
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence, Miss Zhu Xueqi. Are you planning to offer me another half a million?" Lin Yu smiled in response, almost choking Zhu Xueqi, who was reminded of the recent psychological warfare that left her nearly infuriated to the point of vomiting blood. She felt her teeth grinding against each other.
She had never experienced such immense humiliation or suffered such a loss. The mix of old and new grudges flooded her heart, her beautiful eyes about to burst into flames.
"I challenge you, scoundrel. I bet you won't last more than ten days here. Do you believe it?" Zhu Xueqi was provoked by this statement, her youthful, competitive spirit flaring up as she pointed at him with a finger, filled with anger.
"What if I don't leave within ten days? Will you give me half a million then?" Lin Yu's words were sharp and cutting. He wasn't accustomed to coddling children. With this young lady, who had no sense of propriety, only a resolute retort would make her understand fear.
"Fine, no problem. As long as you survive," Zhu Xueqi's expression changed a few times, suddenly laughing in a manner somewhat flirtatious and charming despite her young age. According to Lin Yu's assessment, she had the potential to become a modern-day enchantress.
"My luck has always been strong; you needn't worry," Lin Yu smiled.
"Alright, we'll see." Zhu Xueqi wasn't angry either, smiling playfully as she swished her ponytail and headed upstairs, followed by a group of girls chattering incessantly. "Qi Jie, what's going on? Are you familiar with the new residential affairs teacher?" they asked.
"Not particularly, but I know he's a really, really bad scoundrel. So, go ahead and mess with him as much as you want. If things go wrong, I'll take responsibility." Zhu Xueqi glanced back at Lin Yu while climbing the stairs, her gaze carrying a hint of a threat.
Lin Yu chuckled. Oh, this girl seemed like the leader in this dormitory, quite arrogant.
He poked his head out from the small window and waved at Zhu Xueqi in a friendly manner. "I'll be waiting for you," he said with a gentle yet ambiguous tone, infuriating Zhu Xueqi, who went upstairs furiously, stomping on the stairs.
Lin Yu retracted and went to the door to smoke a cigarette. He truly didn't know whether encountering this beautiful little enemy was lucky or unlucky.
"Fight with the heavens, fight with others, the joy is boundless. Let the storm come even fiercer," Lin Yu extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. He truly didn't consider this young lady a threat. Still wet behind the ears, how much of a storm could she really cause?
However, the storm truly arrived, swift and timely.
According to the regulations, Lin Yu was required to clean the students' dormitories twice a day, after the morning and noon classes. It was rather straightforward; students on duty were responsible for sweeping and mopping, so this "cleaning" meant just making several trips to collect the garbage bags placed outside each dormitory door on every floor, which wasn't too much trouble, just a few extra rounds of walking.
Hence, after the afternoon classes when the students had all left, Lin Yu locked the door and started his inspection in the corridor. From the second to the sixth floor, he picked up the garbage bags from each door, piled them into a large plastic bin, and then used the elevator to transport them downstairs.
Lin Yu completed his rounds from the second to the sixth floor, finishing collecting the bagged trash in about half an hour and depositing them at the designated spot outside.
Humming a tune, Lin Yu returned to the building. As he was about to sit down and surf the internet for a while, he heard a commotion from upstairs. Upon reaching the second floor, he was utterly flabbergasted—somehow, each dormitory on this floor had a black garbage bag placed at its entrance. It seemed deliberate, done to provoke him.
"Who's there? Who's in the dormitories? Come out, what were you doing just now? Why didn't you throw the garbage? Now, you're throwing it again?" Lin Yu was infuriated but had to clean up. Unfortunately, not doing so meant neglecting his duty, and that would signify losing this job. He didn't want his grandparents to think he was unreliable. At least he had to work for a while longer.
Suppressing his anger, he cleaned the second floor again. Sensing something amiss, he went to the third floor. His suspicion was confirmed—the trash that had already been collected on the third floor had mysteriously reappeared neatly in front of each dormitory door, standing in line like sentinels.
Without cleaning, he proceeded to the fourth floor, where the situation was the same. The fifth and sixth floors were identical.
"You want to play with me, huh? Alright. Let's see how long you can play. I don't believe you have that much trash to throw away," Lin Yu ground his teeth, starting to collect the trash bag by bag. After finishing everything, he went upstairs again and was tickled by laughter. There were bags of trash again from the second to the sixth floor, an entire corridor filled with trash. It would probably drive an ordinary person crazy. He had already been tormented countless times.
He went downstairs to check the surveillance footage, but all he saw was a blank wall. Obviously, someone had adjusted the camera angle. It seemed they had played this trick on numerous residential affairs teachers before.
Pondering for a moment, he snorted softly and continued upstairs to clean the trash. However, near the surveillance cameras on each floor, when he saw no one around, he leaped lightly, jumping nearly four meters high, readjusting the camera's position. With the same method, in the blink of an eye, the surveillance cameras on five floors had been reset to their original positions
