Chapter 230: Looks Like the Conditions I Offered Weren’t Enticing Enough
Chu Luo woke up the next day and went to the Academic Affairs Office after breakfast.
The Dean was already waiting for her in the office. Other than the Dean, there was a boy standing beside him.
The man looked gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on his lips. His clear and bright eyes were filled with infinite charm. His tall nose and eyebrows were like swords, and his body exuded a strong scholarly aura.
When the Dean saw Chu Luo, he smiled and said, “Chu Luo, come over. Let me introduce you. This is the Student Union president, Nangong Yi.”
Chu Luo walked over and nodded at Nangong Yi. She wasn’t curious about his presence and asked the Dean directly, “Dean Huang, why are you looking for me?”
Dean Huang handed her a few timetables and said, “These are the schedules for the specializations you chose. When the time comes, you’ll have to register for the elective class online. The time is written on the application form. If you want to enroll, just remember the time.”
Chu Luo nodded and looked down at the specializations she had chosen. When she saw them, she realized that one specialization was missing. She looked up and asked the Dean in confusion, “Why don’t you have a course schedule for the Mechanical Craft and Automation specialization?”
“Erm…” Dean Huang paused for a moment before saying to her in an advising tone, “Ms. Chu, actually, I think you can just study these specializations. It will not be easy to digest if you study too much. ”
Chu Luo frowned and saw through Dean Huang’s thoughts. She asked, “Is it that this specialization’s teacher won’t accept me?”
Many people felt that it was child’s play for a humanities student like her to study science. Up until now, not many people thought highly of her. It was reasonable for a teacher from the Mechanical Craft and Automation specialization to not accept her.
She was just a little angry.
‘Hmph! Forget it if you don’t want to take me in. At most, I’ll just take online classes and self-study.’
Dean Huang looked at Chu Luo’s expression and said, “Ms. Chu, don’t be too disappointed. When you’re loaded with homework in the future, you might even thank that teacher for not accepting you.”
Chu Luo looked at Dean Huang with bright eyes.
This made Dean Huang unable to continue. Although he also felt that it wasn’t good for Chu Luo to study so much, this was a promise given to her by the school. Now that the teacher from that specialization didn’t want to take her in, he couldn’t forcibly insert her into the class.
After a while, Chu Luo nodded at Dean Huang.
Dean Huang thought that Chu Luo had accepted this explanation and changed the topic.
“Actually, there’s another reason why I asked you to come over so early today. The school asked if you were willing to speak as a freshman representative at the freshman mobilization meeting. You’ve been running between two places during this period of time. The school thought that you must be tired, so they didn’t especially inform you to go up and talk.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought for a while. She only asked, “What do you want me to say?”
Nangong Yi, who was standing at the side, glanced at Chu Luo strangely.
However, Dean Huang remembered that last time, he had heard from the principal of Ocean City’s elite high school that Chu Luo had asked him what to say when he had asked her to go up to speak. In the end, she gave such a shocking speech. He thought for a while and said to her, “Just talk about your future study plans and cheer up your classmates.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Okay.”
After Dean Huang was done talking, he pointed at Nangong Yi and said, “I’m done talking. Student Nangong Yi wants to talk to you.”
Nangong Yi looked at her with his smiling eyes and said, “Chu Luo, why don’t we talk as we walk? All the freshmen should be going to the auditorium at this time.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them walked out together.
After walking out, Nangong Yi said directly, “Chu Luo, I want to invite you to the gala performance tonight.”
Without thinking, Chu Luo refused bluntly. “I’m not free. I’m not participating.”
“Chu Luo, you don’t have to reject me so quickly. I mean, I want to invite you to perform with me.”
Chu Luo had no idea of Nangong Yi’s status in the hearts of the students. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t have any reaction. She still said, “I’m not free. I won’t participate.”
Despite seeing that she had refused so readily, Nangong Yi didn’t retract his smile. Instead, he deepened it a little. “In that case, how about I invite Chu Luo to join our Student Union?”
Chu Luo had checked on the Student Union’s daily life before and frowned. “I don’t have that much time.”
At this moment, the two of them happened to walk to the first-floor hall of the office building. Whenever a school’s head passed by Nangong Yi, he would greet them politely. These leaders liked his manner very much. At the same time, they would look at Chu Luo with scrutiny and surprise in their eyes.
When they reached the door, Nangong Yi said, “The Student Union does have many daily activities, but… if you can become the president of the Student Union, you will win over the hearts of people. Actually, there aren’t many things you need to do… Could it be that Chu Luo isn’t confident in winning over the hearts of people?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and pulled a long face. “Goading me won’t work.”
Nangong Yi looked troubled. “Looks like the conditions I offered weren’t enticing enough.”
Chu Luo continued to glance at him and said bluntly, “You didn’t offer me any conditions.”
“Haha…” Nangong Yi laughed lightly. After laughing, he looked into her eyes and said seriously, “The president of the Imperial University’s Student Union has special privileges. For example, you don’t need the teacher’s permission to choose any course you want. The system will directly assign it to you. ”
Chu Luo didn’t expect him to say that. She was stunned for a moment, but she still asked, “Really?”
Nangong Yi nodded. “When the time comes, you can even use the name of the Imperial University Student Union to go to all the local and foreign universities and affiliated high schools to listen to the online classes of any teacher or professor. This way, Chu Luo won’t have to worry about being rejected by any teacher.”
Chu Luo suddenly felt a little tempted, but she didn’t show it on her face.
She asked in a calm tone, “Anything else?”
“Also, the president of the Imperial University Student Union can directly execute their decision-making power at certain times. There’s no need to report it to the school’s heads.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and thought: ‘This condition doesn’t sound bad.’
However, she didn’t say anything.
Nangong Yi looked at her and said, “But I’m not the only one who has the final say in who becomes the president of the Student Union. You still have to get the approval of 80% of the Student Union’s committee. If anyone wants to run against you, there will be a vote by the entire school’s students.
“Most importantly, you have to be capable of leadership and know everything.”
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Nangong Yi smiled at her. “That’s why I’m inviting you to perform with me tonight.”
Chu Luo asked casually, “Perform what?”
“What do you know?”
“Are you asking about zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, literary, martial arts, or other aspects?”
Nangong Yi was stunned for two seconds before asking with a smile, “What are you best at?”
Chu Luo was best at offering sacrifices. How could she possibly tell that to this person? She said, “A lot.”
When Nangong Yi heard her say that, he thought for a while and said, “The Student Union’s committee came up with a stage play that showcases all the music, dance, chess, and calligraphy skills seen throughout the prosperous times of the empire. Why don’t you participate too?”
Chu Luo looked at Nangong Yi with bright eyes. “Didn’t you say that you would act in the show with me? Then what are you going to do?”
“If you take part, there must be music. The Student Union hasn’t arranged that. I can help you play music.”
Chu Luo knew that Nangong Yi was deliberately testing her. Her lips curled up and a glint flashed across her eyes. “Can you play all the music I need?”
“I can try.”
“But I don’t like performing.”
“Then you can play music as long as you know all the instruments.”
“You’re going to perform?”
“As long as Ms. Chu can play all the music.”
Chu Luo didn’t expect this person to be as confident and arrogant as her. Her fighting spirit was immediately aroused, and she nodded. “Okay.”
Since it was ancient imperial music, the instruments used must be ancient imperial instruments.
As a priestess, other than the sacrificial dance, she was best at playing various instruments.
Both of them wanted to make things difficult for each other. After reaching a consensus, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, they walked towards the road outside the school heads’ office building.
As Nangong Yi walked, he told Chu Luo about the arrangements for tonight’s banquet.
After saying that, he even suggested, “Ms. Chu, you can practice after the freshman assembly. There are all kinds of classical instruments in the Student Union. Call me directly when the time comes.”
After saying that, he gave Chu Luo a contact number and said, “I’ll get someone to send you the schedule of the Student Union’s play later. After lunch, I’ll tell you which segment our show will be inserted into.”
Chu Luo nodded. She didn’t think that this was a challenge at all, but she didn’t see the glint that flashed across Nangong Yi’s eyes.
The two of them parted ways at the intersection outside the office building.
Chu Luo walked towards the first hall alone.
Along the way, when everyone saw Chu Luo walking over, they were stunned by her clear and bright eyes, her fair and flawless face with a faint pink glow, and her noble aura, which naturally emanated from her light and agile body.
After she walked over, everyone came back to their senses and started discussing excitedly.
“So Chu Luo is actually so beautiful!”
“She has a good disposition.”
“When I saw her on the video previously, I thought that she was beautiful. I didn’t expect her to be even more beautiful in person than on the video.”
“Such a beautiful and elegant girl must be very proud. How can she cheat!”
“And there are rumors that she’s a kept mistress? Why don’t I believe it at all?”
“Everyone, why don’t you follow over and take a look instead of guessing here?”
When this was said, many people followed.
