Chapter 69: Dragged Out

Mu Youyu sat down beside Jiang Liangjin, looking at the people queuing ahead, "A Jin, do you want them to handle recruitment?"

The former vice-chairman ran off, obviously wanting the new chairman and vice-chairman to organize.

Jiang Liangjin sat down again, "Yeah."

Bai Yun handed the wrapped mille-feuille to Xia Chaoyi, "Which department did you join?"

Xia Chaoyi looked at the quarter piece of mille-feuille and smiled, "The Discipline Inspection Department."

She let out an "oh," "Any department head positions still vacant?"

"I'm the head of this department; the others aren't set yet."

That means they're still all here.

Bai Yun unexpectedly took out the prepared materials, "Then I'll join the Literary and Art Department."

Today really had as many people as she expected, but looking now, she won't need to come tomorrow.

We can sneak out the back door!

Xia Chaoyi took the materials from Yu Ci's hand, wrote her name in the slot for Literary and Art Department head, "Approved!"

He knew Bai Yun had practiced classical dance since childhood and had even won gold in the C City Youth Dance Competition, etc., so she had the ability for it!

The Class A students started to get eager to try!

Mu Youyu glanced at the people below; since it was a re-election of all department heads and deputy heads, plus new members were being added, quite a few people had come.

Basically all thirty-four students from their first-year Class A had come.

There were also people from other classes, a few of whom looked quite familiar.

Leng Yueyue, Luo Yi, and Mo Song.

Down below, Leng Yueyue had become much more haggard, "Brother Xingnan…"

Gu Xingnan ignored her; anyway, their engagement had been called off, so they had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Yu Ci was playing a game, without looking up.

In a good mood, Jiang Liangjin retorted, "Drag them out."

The crowd: "……?"

Xia Chaoyi laughed out loud.

Gu Xingnan never lifted his eyes, his fingertip sliding across the screen.

The little follower hurried to Leng Yueyue's side and whispered, "Sister Yue, let's go back first."

Young Master Jiang is so scary, waa waa waa; if I'd known, she wouldn't have come!

"No!" Leng Yueyue violently shook off the little follower's hand, her eyes red as she glared at Jiang Liangjin, "What right do you have to have them drag me? I came to run for office! This isn't your place!"

Jiang Liangjin gave her a "Are you stupid?" look, "This is my family's place."

"You, you!" Leng Yueyue couldn't finish her sentence.

Her head heated up, and she forgot.

The people below held back their laughter.

"Sis, you're brave, daring to speak to Young Master Jiang like that!"

Mu Youyu laughed even more unsympathetically, poking Jiang Liangjin's arm with her fingertip, "She got out of the hospital that fast?"

"Yeah." Jiang Liangjin casually picked up the sparkling water on the table, opened it, inserted a straw, and handed it to her.

Mu Youyu took a sip, then deliberately said, "A Jin, she's standing fine—why drag her away?"

Jiang Liangjin glanced casually at the frozen Leng Yueyue, "Her talking was noisy to me."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone in the office to hear.

Bai Yun couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up in her heart, "Young Master Jiang really knows how to talk."

She had long disliked Leng Yueyue.

Xia Chaoyi nodded, "I think so too."

Leng Yueyue's face instantly flushed, and she didn't even bother fearing Jiang Liangjin as tears instantly streamed down, "You think having a family background makes you amazing? Brother Xingnan clearly used to like me the most!"

Besides, she was beaten a few days ago—definitely connected to Jiang Liangjin!

He just happened to be born into a good womb…

If he were an ordinary person, who would indulge him!

?

Gu Xingnan finally lifted his head, his black eyes devoid of any warmth, "Leng Yueyue, I'll say this once: the engagement is over, past events need not be mentioned… and, when did I ever like you?"

His voice was unusually calm, and the crowd that had been watching the excitement instantly fell silent.

Yu Ci raised a hand, "Exactly."

"Brother Xingnan…" Leng Yueyue's eyes brimmed with tears.

Mu Youyu clicked her tongue, "Stop calling him 'brother' over and over—An Nan doesn't have any little sisters."

Leng Yueyue glared at her.

Mu Youyu glared back, then turned to tattle, "A Jin, look at her glaring at me!"

Jiang Liangjin: "So hateful, Youbao, don't look at her—soon you won't see the bad egg."

The people below: "?? Young Master Jiang, what's wrong with you, still hateful bad egg…"

Saying "turtle egg" would be better than this.

Jiang Liangjin thought of Leng Yueyue's earlier words, raised his eyebrows, and lifted his chin at the still‑dazed little follower below, "Having a family background really is impressive."

That little follower, frightened, hurried forward and grabbed Leng Yueyue again, this time holding on tight no matter how she struggled, practically half‑dragging, half‑coaxing her away from the scene.

From the door came Leng Yueyue's unwilling cries, which were quickly swallowed by the hallway's echo.

"Next." Xia Chaoyi gestured to continue.

Now it just so happened that Luo Yi's turn came up.

"The Luo school belle is here too!"

"Ah, then what department should we join?"

"I still wanted everyone in Class A to be elected!"

"No worries, later we'll go find the class monitor and pull a backdoor!"

""

Bai Yun heard it and gave a reassuring look to the crowd in the back rows of Grade 1 Class A.

Luo Yi's fingertips holding the campaign speech turned slightly white as she drew a deep breath and stepped out of the line, the pink Lolita skirt swaying lightly with her movement.

"Hello everyone, I'm Luo Yi from Grade 1 Class 1, and I want to run for External Liaison Department Head." Her voice carried a hint of deliberately practiced sweet softness.

After saying that, her gaze unintentionally swept over Jiang Liangjin sitting in the middle, a blush flashed across her face, then she quickly looked away.

"My older sister is in foreign trade; I've accompanied her to many business activities, so I know how to communicate and liaise with off-campus merchants..."

Jiang Liangjin lazily lifted his eyes, gave Gu Xingnan a look, his pupils showing no emotion.

Gu Xingnan understood, and passed the documents to Xia Chaoyi beside him.

Xia Chaoyi made a 'received' gesture, waited for Luo Yi to finish speaking, then asked: "The External Liaison Department needs to frequently liaise with off-campus resources; what do you think is your greatest strength?"

Luo Yi, neither hurried nor anxious, said: "I..."

After following the list and asking a few more questions, Xia Chaoyi raised his eyebrows and said: "Set!"

Luo Yi: …… Ah?

She still thought they would have to wait a day for the results.

Alright then.

Gu Xingnan glanced at the time and said: "A Jin, Youbao, we're leaving first."

Yu Ci raised his hand and said: "See you tomorrow!"

The two responded with an acknowledgement, and he pulled Yu Ci away.

Mu Youyu asked Jiang Liangjin beside her: "A Jin, when are we leaving?"

Jiang Liangjin said: "Let's recruit another department head."

Mu Youyu nodded and handed him the sparkling water that was less than half drunk.

Jiang Liangjin naturally took it.

!!!

Luo Yi noticed their small movement, secretly grabbed the hem of her skirt, then smoothed her breath.

Not angry, not angry, the transfer student is a friend of Jing Shao nu……

She and Jiang Liangjin are just childhood sweethearts!

Luo Yi had just stepped down from the stage when the crowd suddenly stirred with a faint commotion.

"Holy shit, who is this, so damn cool!"

"Although not as pretty as the school belle..."

"Haven't you seen them before?"

Mo Song's fingertips clutching the speech manuscript slightly curled, she took a deep breath and stepped out of the line.

Today she was completely different from usual.

She wore a well-fitted white shirt paired with a light gray knee-length skirt.

The black-framed glasses that had covered most of her face were removed, revealing dark eyes; those eyes held no trace of former timidity, only clarity.

Her bangs were carefully pinned behind her ears, and a small pearl hairclip was fastened in her hair.

Mu Youyu saw those pearl hairclips, raised her eyebrows, and guessed that the NPC at the amusement park last time must have been her.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mo Song from Grade 1 Class 1, and I want to run for Study Department Head." Mo Song's voice was not loud, carrying a sense of just-right steadiness.

Unlike Luo Yi's deliberately sweet softness, there was not a trace of nervous tremor.

After her words fell, she slightly bowed, her movement standard and smooth, the folder in her arms neat and tidy, not a single sheet of paper fluttering.

"I won a gold medal in the middle school math Olympiad once, and served as the school's study committee member for two consecutive years..."

Beside them, Luo Yi, who had just learned her true appearance, quietly asked a friend: "When did she arrive? Leng Yueyue was just here a moment ago."

Wasn't she the most afraid of Leng Yueyue?

The friend's voice dripped with contempt: "Leng Yueyue has been dragged away."

Then there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Bai Yun exclaimed "Wow!", "Who is this? I've never seen them before!"

She exuded a gentle, scholarly aura all over.

Xia Chaoyi: "I don't know her."

""

After Mo Song finished speaking, Mu Youyu then said to Jiang Liangjin: "I like this one."

Jiang Liangjin: ……

?

"Do you know her?"

Mu Youyu smiled and said: "Yes."

Jiang Liangjin's fingertips lightly tapped the sparkling water bottle, his dark eyes sweeping over Mo Song, who stood tall on the stage.

No impression.

Then his gaze shifted to Mu Youyu's smiling side profile, asking: "When did you meet her? How come I don't know."

「Just the one mentioned last time in the infirmary... uh, the one Leng Yueyue bullied. 」

Jiang Liangjin has a good memory, and quickly recalled it.

He saw Mu Youyu looking interested in her, and gave Xia Chaoyi a glance.

Xia Chaoyi understood, wrote Mo Song's name in the Study Department Head column, and announced loudly: "Decided!"

Mo Song didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Jiang Liangjin saw that the four department heads had all been decided, and said to Xia Chaoyi: "You four organizations are recruiting; I'm leaving first."

Xia Chaoyi:!

Bai Yun: 'Little Yu, how could you abandon her!'

Luo Yi:?

Mo Song: ⚆_⚆?
