I Was Arrested for a Winter Break Side Job, But I'm Really Just Selling Gas Canisters

Shen Fei woke up one day as a college student.

During a career guidance class, armed special police burst in: "Shen Fei! You're coming with us!"

A national security official asked, "You said you were just selling gas cylinders as a side gig online?"

Shen Fei replied, "Other people make them. I just handle the sales..."

The official said, "So you sold more than eight thousand of them in one go?!"

Shen Fei replied, "And, on the side, five hundred tractors and some steel pipes..."

The official said, "That still doesn't explain how they could be worth a million dollars!"

Shen Fei replied, "The customers were foreigners. They're pretty generous and didn't even haggle..."

The official asked, "Where did you sell them?!"

Shen Fei replied, "The Middle East..."

The official took a deep breath. "Have you ever heard of war crimes?"

Half a year later, Shen Fei returned from his internship in the Middle East.

His academic advisor asked, "What are these stamps on your internship certificate?"

Shen Fei replied, "They're from the presidents of a few regions over there..."
