Chapter 457: Zi Yi, The Student Union President, Campus Belle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mrs. Lu likes Zi Yi’s personality because she does not pay much attention to insignificant things. She smiled and patted her on her hand. “It’s good that you didn’t take it to heart.”

After the trio chatted for some time, Mrs. Lu had something to discuss with Lu Jingye alone. “Little Zi, aren’t you heading to school today?”

“I’m going.”

“Then you should quickly make your way to school. Auntie will be staying here today and I’ll leave after having dinner together with you.”

“Sounds good.”

After Zi Yi left, Mrs. Lu said, “Jingye, I heard from them that you were the one who initiated the worldwide economic war last night. There are many companies that lost their funds. Is that right?”

“Mother, why are you asking this?”

Mrs. Lu never once paid attention nor asked any questions related to business. There must definitely be a problem for her to have asked this.

She furrowed her brows and said, “I woke up early today and while I was headed for my morning run, I overheard the conversation between Zhiheng and Rick. Zhiheng had actually told Rick to come to you for an explanation.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu got angry. “I think that he just can’t wait to pour all the dirty water onto you, so that you can live a miserable life.”

Lu Jingye had already anticipated this situation to happen and he had already made plans for it. “Mother, there’s no need to worry. I will settle this.”

At most, Rick would launch a fierce retaliation against the Lu Family and try to settle their grudges in private.

Lu Jingye had long thought about the countermeasure for that.

Lu Zhiheng would never have thought that Rick would retaliate against the Lu Group. He must be thinking that he could form an alliance with Rick, but he doesn’t know that the latter has looked down on him ever since the beginning.

Mrs. Lu was relieved at the sight of her eldest son’s confidence.

In her heart, her sons were the best and the most outstanding.

Since she did not have to worry about this, they started chatting about Lu Yunxiao.

…

After last night’s events, the entire capital was shrouded in a grim atmosphere. In particular, the students from the School of Economics had already been discussing it since the morning.

“Someone initiated a worldwide economic war last night, did you know?”

“Of course. I was writing a paper and while checking for information, I discovered something amiss and so, I spectated from the sidelines. That type of war between the large corporations is not something I can get involved in even if I were in the industry for 500 years.”

“Who do you think is capable of pulling the whole world’s economic system into chaos?”

“I feel that it must be a country. It is impossible for a single individual to have done all that.”

“My thoughts exactly… Professor Dou has an open lecture today and he will definitely use last night’s economic war for the lesson and break it down for us. We’ll be left with no seats if we’re late!”

…

Zi Yi parked her car in the parking lot outside the School of Liberal Arts. Just as she was about to head to the Archaeology Department, her mobile phone rang.

Unexpectedly, the call was from Dou Jingtong.

He asked, “Yiyi, have you arrived at school yet?”

“I just reached.”

“I have an open lecture later and it’s being held in the School of Economics’ Multimedia Building, Room 302. Come over and listen in.”

Zi Yi agreed to it.

When she arrived at the School of Economics, those who saw her were all excited.

“Wow! Zi Yi has unexpectedly made her way over to our school!

“Did Zi Yi choose any courses in our school?”

“I don’t think she did?”

“Then what is she here for?”

“Who cares, it’s already a fortunate thing to be able to meet her in person.”

“That’s right. Speaking of which, the online voting for the Campus Belle selection has recently opened. Say, since she did not run for the officer position of the Student Union’s External Relations Department, do you think she will be like Murong You from the School of Foreign Language and canvass for votes everywhere?”

“I doubt it. She didn’t even participate in the External Relations Department election and perhaps she will not even pay any attention to this campus belle election either.”

“The nature of the competition is different, alright. The campus belle position represents the prettiest girl in the school and no matter which girl, they would definitely want to be the prettiest amongst everyone.”

“That makes sense. Then who will you vote for?”

“Of course Zi Yi! She’s prettier than Murong You.”

“But Murong You is also very pretty!”

…

Under everyone’s stares, Zi Yi walked into the classroom where Professor Dou was holding the open lecture.

The multimedia classroom was rather spacious and it could accommodate up to two hundred people.

By the time Zi Yi went in, seventy percent of the seats were filled up.

However, the first few rows were rather empty.

Zi Yi simply randomly found a seat in the first few rows.

As soon as she sat down, everyone began to stir.

Before long, the seats behind Zi Yi were all filled up and some of them even pushed and shoved. One of the female students could not take it anymore and she asked, “Student Zi, are you also here to listen to Professor Dou’s open lecture?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at the excited female student behind her and gave her a nod.

The female student did not expect Zi Yi to respond and she hastily asked, “The campus belle selection has already started. Why haven’t you started campaigning for votes yet?”

“Campaigning?” Zi Yi looked at her in confusion.

The female student was stunned by her reaction. “Don’t you know that you need to campaign for votes for the campus belle selection?”

“Why should I campaign?” Zi Yi asked instead of answering.

“So that people will vote for you?”

“I don’t need it.” Zi Yi could not be bothered with the campus belle selection. She turned to look at the front after having said that.

The people around her were all surprised to hear Zi Yi’s answer.

“Murong You’s admirers have already started to pull votes in for her. Yet, Zi Yi isn’t anxious in the slightest.”

“Could it be that she doesn’t really care?”

Just as they were about to start a discussion, a tall figure suddenly appeared by the door.

Immediately, several female students looked at him with starry eyes as they covered their mouths and started screaming.

“Ahhhhh! Sure enough, President Nangong has come for Professor Dou’s open lecture.”

“Ahhhhh! President Nangong is so handsome.”

Zi Yi heard the infatuated screams from behind her and she glanced at Nangong Yu who was headed in her direction.

He directly came over to her side and stopped. With a smile, he greeted her. “Junior Zi, I didn’t expect you would also be here to listen to Professor Dou’s open lecture.”

Zi Yi gave him a nod.

Nangong Yu did not mind her cold response to him and directly sat beside her.

His actions caused numerous male and female students to feel jealous.

Nangong Yu took out his economics textbooks and placed them on the table. While flipping through the pages, he asked, “Junior Zi, did you pay attention to the results of the Student Union election?”

“I didn’t.” She was so busy these days and she didn’t even have time to scroll through the school’s forum.

Nangong Yu was not surprised and he continued asking, “Then do you know who successfully won the officer position of the External Relations Department?”

Zi Yi said with confidence, “Chen Yuying.”

The corner of his lips curled up upon hearing Zi Yi’s answer. “It seems like you have already guessed that she had the potential to be elected as the Head Officer of the External Relations Department… I heard that you had said words to stimulate her too.”

Zi Yi nodded her head. Just then, another two female students came in.

Zi Yi heard voices of discussion around her. “Murong You is here too?”

“Could it be that she found out that President Nangong is here and so, she came?”

“It’s obvious that’s the case.”

“Say, if Murong You sees Zi Yi and President Nangong seated together, will she get jealous?”

The first thing Murong You saw when she came into the classroom was Nangong Yu who was smiling at Zi Yi. Her eyes flickered for a second before she revealed a smile and headed over.

“President Nangong, what a coincidence.”
