Chapter 45 Double Compensation

h, transferring warmth to her leg. Tang Wu glanced over with a reproachful look and said, "Your hands."Su Cen dodged the question indirectly by asking, "How did you know I was back today"“I called you...Chapter 45 Double Compensation

The barbecue stall next to them had a blazing fire, with rising heat and sparks. The dripping grease from the roasted food splashed down. Suddenly, the fire was disturbed, causing ashes to scatter, and numerous sparks escaped.

In this corner of Nan University's Snack Street, the situation vividly mirrored that scene.

Chéng Cōnghóng’s hot tea, like water poured into a blazing fire, splashed onto Zai Feng before anyone could react. At this moment, the expressions around the table were fixed: some were panicked and stood up to avoid being hit by the water; others looked bewildered; still others slammed their tables in anger. The scene was chaotic.

"What's wrong with you Are you out of your mind" It wasn't Qian Feng, who had hot tea splashed on his face, that shouted this but a man a few positions away from him. If not for the fact that Chéng Cōnghóng was an attractive woman, violence might have already broken out.

Qian Feng wiped off the tea leaves stuck to his face. His fair skin turned red where the hot water had touched it. He had already stood up half-way before finally sitting back down due to the uncontrollable rage inside him. In the end, he suppressed himself and glared fiercely at Chéng Cōnghóng.

Someone beside him immediately subconsciously passed him a tissue and asked if he was okay. Qian Feng shook his head, using the paper to wipe off the water droplets that kept dripping down his face. His unusually calm demeanor gave an impression that a storm was brewing.

"Tell him to control himself properly or I'll splash him again!" Chéng Cōnghóng remained strong and defiant, staring haughtily at those who had stood up in front of her. Despite not being muscular, her slender figure seemed fragile compared to the others around her.

Then, Su Can's group also got up—Li Han, Wang Dongjian, and others stood up as well and walked towards Chéng Cōnghóng. It looked like a confrontation was imminent.

Su Can's side had only a few boys, with Li Han being the most robust and Wang Dongjian being somewhat burly, but they were clearly outnumbered.

Li Han seemed fearless, while Wang Dongjian felt uneasy. He knew that most of their opponents were upperclassmen who held some status in their respective departments; if a confrontation arose, his group might not come out on top. However, the situation left them with no choice but to continue.

The tension was palpable. Though Chéng Cōnghóng felt intimidated by the large and imposing male figures facing her, she had no intention of retreating.

On the other side, those who knew about the situation understood that Qian Feng usually spoke rudely and joked around with his friends. However, sometimes he went too far, like when he commented on Chéng Cōnghóng’s butt moments ago, saying something along the lines of needing an entire night to rest if it were to be used.

Despite knowing Qian Feng's reputation, they also knew that he was the president of Nan University's Campus Management Committee and the son of Cheng Ziming from the Social Sciences College. It wasn't easy for Chéng Ziming to reach his position; reportedly, ten years ago, the Chéng family lived in one of Nan University’s old staff quarters with Chéng Ziming merely a lecturer.

Later, there was an opportunity to do some research and gradually climb up step by step. However, Qian Feng's education has always been based on the principle that "a good person is made with a rod of yellow jujube." Even so, by the time Qian Feng reached Nanjing University, he had gone through many obstacles and caused quite a few incidents.

The people present knew that they were at fault in terms of the cause of the incident. However, due to Qian Ziming's influence, Qian Feng was still very popular among this group of student union members, student council members, and social association members. In light of the current situation, right and wrong have been somewhat diluted. Additionally, since they often call each other brothers, it would be impossible for them to persuade Qian Feng to let it go after such a humiliating incident.

To put it simply, those who initiated the physical confrontation were from Cheng Congcong's side.

The conflict on Nanjing University's famous street food area quickly spread to people in related departments. Senior-year students heard about Qian Feng's conflict with others, while freshmen learned that Cheng Congcong had poured tea over someone else's face, causing quite a stir.

Since it involved some well-known individuals, the relevant department members rushed over immediately upon hearing of the street food area conflict. Soon enough, many people gathered around as Cheng Congcong and her female friends were arguing with their opponents who wouldn't let them off easily, making the situation look like it was escalating.

Qian Feng coldly stared at this side of Cheng Congcong and Su Can. Most senior students knew about Su Can, but only a few freshmen did. There are over 30,000 undergraduate students, 8,000 postgraduates and doctoral candidates, more than 20,000 adult education and network education undergraduates and graduates, and around 3,000 international students in Nanjing University, totaling nearly 60,000 students. There are numerous outstanding figures among them, at least according to these people.

Among this group of people, only a few freshmen knew Su Can, but most were following the situation closely.

"How do I solve it What should be done now that she splashed hot tea all over my face I'll go to the hospital later for an examination. She needs to take responsibility and see how she can compensate me. Do you think this can just end like nothing happened Not likely! No matter what, I need to slap her beautiful face a couple of times before I feel satisfied!" When asked about his plan, Qian Feng clutched the red part of his burned face and said fiercely.

He wasn't afraid to escalate things. As long as everyone stuck to their story that this woman misunderstood him, and since he was on the losing side in terms of appearances, they would always be the best-prepared party no matter how you looked at it.

"Qian Feng, what's going on Did someone splash water on you That doesn't sound right. Who is it Let him explain himself." The crowd parted to make way for a few troublemakers from the polymer department who were eating in the cafeteria and watching a game when they heard about this incident. Since people of some renown were involved, and these people seemed to have been provoked by someone inexperienced, they hurried over to watch the show. At that moment, their eyes were fixated on Li Han and others with an obvious provoking intent.

"Old Wu, what's going on We just invited a few students from Tongji University for dinner when this happened! Are you planning to fight someone" A group of male and female students walked over to greet them. The leader sized up Su Can's side while chatting with Qian Feng's people. This adrenaline-pumping scene was clearly an excellent opportunity to showcase their connections with other universities' beautiful girls.

Some department-level leaders also offered cigarettes and advised, "I think it’s best to let this go. They’re all first-year students who haven’t had time to get a feel for the campus yet and don't know how to behave properly. We wouldn’t want anyone to drop out or skip classes next year." Although they were advising against escalation, their words carried an air of superiority.

As more people gathered around and Cheng Congcong’s group's argument with the other side became increasingly heated, Su Can noticed some familiar faces among them, both freshmen and upperclassmen. However, everyone was just watching from the sidelines.

This moment, Cheng Congcong saw Ren Weiming standing across from her with Fan Qiyi, president of the student council. Some in their group Cheng Congcong had met before and even eaten a meal together. Since they were newly arrived, they didn't know what was happening when Qian Feng's people explained it to them. But once Ren Weiming saw Cheng Congcong, he clearly froze for a moment, his face turning grim as he understood the situation.

He and Cheng Congcong are in a曖昧stage, as they got together because their parents know each other. They're considered quasi-boyfriend/girlfriend status. The Student Union President Fan Qiyi saw Ren Weiming and the current situation was quite prepared.

He only noticed the group of people with Cheng Congcong ahead but didn't notice Su Can and Tang Wu behind him. But he thought this wasn't what Ren Weiming wanted, so he smoothly did a favor and said to Qian Feng, "That girl knows Ren Weiming too; it's all just a misunderstanding. I think we should let it go." Hearing his words, Qian Feng looked at Ren Weiming with raised eyebrows, "Ren Weiming is your woman"

Ren Weiming was stunned for a moment before he saw that some of the men beside Qian Feng also had their heads up and were looking at him. These people were well-known in third and fourth year and looked at him like they despised him. Ren Weiming smiled subconsciously, "How could she be It's just playing around."

"Then what the hell are you saying Qian Feng was splashed with hot tea a moment ago because of her; it's her fault for not knowing better. If that woman is someone you know, then don't get involved," one person beside Qian Feng said in a deep voice. He was the son of an official from the municipal education department and seemed to be giving some guidance.

"Alright." Ren Weiming smiled. Fan Qiyi glanced at him but didn't continue further. Although he was the student union president, everyone knew that such organizations had many impurities in terms of authority; much less with people like Qian Feng around right now. Even if he spoke personally, his influence probably wouldn't be so good. But seeing both sides were getting intense, if they ignored it and let things escalate, as a present student union president on the scene, it would badly affect his reputation.

Seeing that Cheng Congcong was here, could Tang Wu also be around Thinking of Tang Wu naturally made him think of whether Su Can, who had come out of nowhere like a demon lord at Nan Da University, was there too

When Cheng Congcong saw Fan Qiyi and Ren Weiming's group, her confidence rose significantly, and she grew bolder. After all, quite a few people in their group she knew as well. So she brought her face close to the nose of one man and cursed, "You got splashed too Well, you deserved it; you're just part of the same nest!"

The male who was arguing with Cheng Congcong was also agitated by her words and slapped at her in a rage as he said, "Say that again."

A crisp sound rang out. Cheng Congcong held her face and backed up two steps; her expression froze momentarily before she subconsciously looked over to Ren Weiming. It felt natural to do so.

But to her surprise, Ren Weiming's group was talking amicably with Qian Feng after a short moment. When the slap sounded, Ren Weiming glanced at her with his peripheral vision but ultimately did nothing and turned away. The other people who usually chatted with Cheng Congcong during meals also ignored it as they continued their own conversation. At this point, Cheng Congcong felt rather cold inside.

Although she had a tough personality and liked to show off, she knew that many people in her grade and dormitory disliked her—Ru Siou didn't like her and Tang Wu was indifferent to her—but all along,

she thought these people were not from the same world as hers, so it didn't matter much. On the other hand, those influential figures who often chatted with her at meals and their friends like Ren Weiming, handsome guys in broadcasting and hosting, student union cadres, or sons of officials, all belonged to her world.

But now these people seemed oblivious to her, chatting merrily as if she wasn't there. Only the sound echoed in her ears.

The scene turned chaotic when Li Han and Wang Dongjian rushed forward from beside her, the man who initiated the fight getting hit twice first. "Enough! Do you want all of us to be taken to the disciplinary office for a major offense" Fan Qiyi finally intervened to stop both sides.

Most importantly, Fan Qiyi saw Sun Can, Tang Wu, and others trying to squeeze out from behind. At this point, he could no longer remain silent.

The crowd instantly sobered up; most of them had some official positions, so if it came down to a conflict that could affect their careers, they would naturally be more cautious.

Everyone stopped fighting, while Cheng Congcong's eyes turned red with tears rolling down her face. She covered her face but kept looking at Ren Weiming. This scene was hard to believe for the usually carefree Cheng Congcong, even Ruan Sige, who didn't like her, felt sympathy.

Su Can was also displeased; originally a pleasant gathering had turned into chaos, escalating further. He was already frustrated before this incident. It wouldn't look good if he stepped forward to argue with the college students, but now they couldn't even finish their meal and might not be able to leave easily. Besides, some things were unbearable for him.

When Su Can walked out, both Fan Qiyi and Ren Weiming's attitudes changed. Two of them accompanying here were members of Nan University’s Entrepreneurs Club, along with the captain of the Nan University baseball team, Zheng Rong, who graduated last year and was about to start working at a state-owned enterprise that had some connections. Initially, he planned to apply for a job at the South Hotel when it was recruiting but abandoned his plan due to certain reasons. These people knew Su Can, so they changed their expressions upon seeing him.

As Su Can approached without stopping and not bothering with those who started the fight earlier, he went directly to Qian Feng’s table and stood opposite Ren Weiming, staring at him for a few seconds until his composure crumbled. Then he pointed at Cheng Congcong and asked, "Do you know her"

"Who is this person" Qian Feng and the others glared at Su Can; some were unhappy and wanted to scold him while others whispered.

Ren Weiming didn't speak. Su Can suddenly grabbed the table, then pointed at Cheng Congcong again. "I asked if you know her!"

The people around the table were startled by Su Can's sudden action. Qian Feng and his group wanted to react but someone whispered something in their ears, causing them to look differently at Su Can.

These individuals had been influenced by a certain environment since childhood, recognizing people and situations well; they could be arrogant when backed by power, making it hard to change. They wouldn't let go easily if provoked under normal circumstances. However, if faced with someone even more domineering, they would have to observe carefully before acting.

At this point, someone must have informed Qian Feng and the others about Su Can's background and identity.

Ren Weiming forced a smile at Su Can. "I just arrived; I don't know what happened. Sun Can, you're here too"

"Do you know her or not!" Su Can enunciated each word without acknowledging Ren's pleasantries. The surrounding noise diminished as his voice grew louder and more prominent. Ren Weiming’s face twitched mechanically; he nodded and forced a smile. "I do."

"From now on, she doesn't know you anymore. You’re not a man." Su Can said it casually, but the weight of these words carried great significance.

In this situation, it was akin to an extreme insult; Ren Weiming's expression became even uglier.

One person at the table sneered, "Huh, you seem quite bold."

"Don't pretend that grabbing a table makes you look tough. Why don’t you just flip it over" Qian Feng and the others knew Su Can's background but couldn’t let him point fingers and criticize them in their territory while everyone else was too intimidated to speak up.es for outsiders to share the pie."Li Yinliang is a seasoned fox.
