Chapter 233: Sparring with the President of the Student Union
After Chu Luo walked into the building, she casually stopped a person who was walking and asked, “Senior, may I know which floor the president’s office is on?”
The girl pointed upstairs. “Third floor. You’ll see it when you go up.” With that, she left.
Chu Luo walked towards the third floor.
When she reached the third floor, she saw the signboard of the Student Union President’s office beside a room in the corridor.
Chu Luo walked over and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Upon pushing open the door, she saw that Nangong Yi was typing on his computer without looking up.
Chu Luo walked in and stood behind the desk. As she waited for Nangong Yi to finish his work, she sized up the office.
This office was huge and bright. There wasn’t much furniture inside, but the bookshelves on the wall made people unable to help but take a few more glances.
There were all kinds of books on the bookshelf. Chu Luo’s gaze stopped on one of the books for a few seconds.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. The person outside was obviously in a hurry. Before Nangong Yi could ask him to come in, he pushed the door open.
“President, bad news.”
Nangong Yi looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The person said, “Our Internet surveillance has been attacked.”
Nangong Yi said calmly, “You should look for Dean Tan regarding this matter. He’s in charge of this.”
The person was about to cry. “Dean Tan asked me to look for you. The computer skills of the person who attacked us today are too good. He can’t stop him anymore.”
“Then invite a computer expert over.”
“I got someone to invite them. The Four Swordsmen of the Computer Science Department have a class this afternoon. The other experts either have class or have something to attend to.”
When Nangong Yi heard this, he thought for a while and said in a soothing tone, “I’ll deal with this matter. Go ahead and busy yourself. Time is tight. There will be reporters from the Education Channel at our gala and it will be broadcasted online. Nothing can go wrong.”
“Okay.” The person nodded and left.
The moment that person left, Nangong Yi frowned.
Chu Luo glanced at his expression and pretended not to see it as she pointed at the bookshelf.
“Since you have something to busy with, can I read?”
Nangong Yi looked up at her and nodded. “Go ahead.”
Chu Luo walked over and took down the book that she had just discovered. She walked to the sofa and sat down before reading it.
Nangong Yi stared at Chu Luo for a few seconds.
Watching her flip through the book quickly, he didn’t ask if she had read it or not. Instead, he asked casually, “Chu Luo, aren’t you trained in computer science?”
“Just say it.” Chu Luo stood up with the book and walked to the bookshelf to place it there before looking at him.
“Then you should know how to deal with an attack from hackers. Help me take a look.”
After saying that, he stood up, meaning to give her the seat.
Chu Luo glanced at him and sat down without saying anything. Her ten fingers quickly moved on the keyboard.
Nangong Yi stared at the display and said, “The Student Union gets hacked many times every year, especially during large-scale galas or events. The stage effects and lights outside are all controlled by computers. Once they’re attacked, we will be in trouble.”
Chu Luo only responded with an “Mm” as if she wasn’t interested in this. However, her fingers quickly typed on the keyboard.
After about ten minutes, she said, “Done.”
After saying that, she stood up and looked into his eyes. “If there’s anything else you want to test me on, you can say it all at once. This way, you won’t waste everyone’s time.”
When Nangong Yi heard this, he was stunned for two seconds.
Then he smiled.
His smile was light and breezy, making people unable to be angry at him.
Nangong Yi threw up his hands. “So you found out so quickly… No, you probably found out downstairs. It’s just that you didn’t say it out loud.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and walked to the sofa to sit.
Nangong Yi followed her and sat on the sofa opposite her. He continued, “I told you before that if you want to be the president of the Student Union, you have to get the approval of more than 80% of the members of the Student Union.”
Chu Luo asked straightforwardly, “Did I say that I wanted to be the president of the Student Union?”
Nangong Yi: “If you want to sit in this position, I can allow you show everyone your strength. If you don’t like this position, take it that you helped me just now. Take it that I owe you a favor.”
Chu Luo looked at Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi looked back at her with the same faint smile in his eyes.
After a few seconds, Chu Luo said, “The people who attacked you just now were from CC School in Country B.”
Nangong Yi gave her a thumbs up and said, “Imperial University is too famous internationally. It’s inevitable that they can’t stand it and want to challenge our school. That’s why there are many instances of Imperial University being provoked every year.”
“Isn’t the school going to do something about this?”
“The school said that if the Student Union can’t even resolve such a minor matter, what right do we have to negotiate with them?”
These words sounded ruthless, but they were meant to train the Student Union’s ability.
Chu Luo felt that the school was right. “If you want to have power, you have to use your own ability.”
“That’s right.” Nangong Yi agreed with her. “That’s why our Student Union doesn’t recruit incompetent people.”
When she heard this, a glint flashed across Chu Luo’s eyes. She said in a doubtful tone, “Is that so? There’s a girl from the Student Union who can’t even memorize the words passed down by our ancestors. How can that be considered capable?”
“…”
Nangong Yi was actually unable to refute it.
Chu Luo suddenly smiled at him. “Since your subordinate can’t memorize it, you can do it. Take it as you thanking me for helping you.”
“…”
Nangong Yi laughed. It seemed like this junior in front of him was someone who would take revenge for the smallest grievance.
He searched his memory and started stating the words.
His clear voice was very pleasant to the ears, especially when he emphasized certain words with a classical elegance.
Chu Luo took out her phone from her pocket and quickly pulled out the recording device. She tapped it many times.
At this moment, Nangong Yi’s voice suddenly came from the speaker outside the Student Union office building.
When a group of busy Student Union members heard their president’s voice, they stopped in confusion and subconsciously listened.
After a few seconds, someone cursed.
“If I didn’t hear wrongly, the president is reading out the ancient words of the empire!”
“Why would the president read these?”
“Chu Luo doesn’t seem to have come out of the president’s office yet.”
Everyone subconsciously looked for Zhang Yiran.
Zhang Yiran happened to be standing in the middle of everyone. With everyone staring at her, she clutched her chest. “I suddenly feel like the president is helping me repay my debt. What’s going on?”
Everyone’s eyes were saying: Please don’t flatter yourself.
At this moment, a pleasant female voice came from the loudspeaker. “Wrong. X’s pronunciation is wrong. It should be the third tone.”
Nangong Yi immediately corrected this pronunciation and continued reciting.
Everyone thought to themselves, ‘F*ck! Is the president really memorizing ancient words, or is he reading them under Chu Luo’s supervision?!’
What did this mean?
Everyone looked at Zhang Yiran again. At the same time, the gaze in their eyes said, “You’re finished!”
Zhang Yiran finally snapped out of her daze. She turned around and ran. As she ran, she said, “If the president looks for me later, just tell him that I went out to get sponsorships and haven’t returned yet. Maybe I’ll go so far as to sell myself to get sponsorships. I don’t know if I can even come back tonight.”
Everyone: “…”
Zhang Yiran, where’s your integrity?!
Nangong Yi read out tens of thousands of ancient words for nearly half an hour. When it ended, he subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
He asked Chu Luo, “Have I passed my memorization?”
Chu Luo smiled at him. “Just passable.”
Nangong Yi also smiled.
Next, he prepared to tell Chu Luo about tonight’s performance.
“The Student Union’s performance is divided into four parts, ‘Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon.’ For ‘Wind,’ we have a sword dance by the boys. For ‘Flower,’ it’ll be a dance by the girls. As for ‘Snow,’ the people from the Painting Association will be doing a painting on the spot. Finally, ‘Moon’ will be a musical performance featuring classical instruments.
“Since we agreed that you will play an instrument and I will dance, the last performance will be by the two of us. Do you think you can accept it?”
“Why not?”
“Very good. I’ll take you to see the instruments now.”
The two of them went straight to the instrument room. Just as Nangong Yi had said, there were all kinds of instruments in the instrument room.
Chu Luo walked around the instrument room and pointed at a zither. “This one.”
Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows. “You sure?”
“I’m sure.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she walked over and plucked the strings. A gorgeous sound instantly spread throughout the entire instrument room.
Chu Luo looked up at Nangong Yi. “You better think about what you can dance.”
“You’ll play whatever I dance?”
“Right.”
“Okay.”
…
When Chu Luo walked out of the Student Union, everyone who saw her looked at her with admiration.
Chu Luo scanned these people and walked towards the parking lot.
At this moment, a petite girl with a brilliant smile on her face walked over and asked Chu Luo curiously, “Chu Luo, how did you make the president recite the ancient text?”
Chu Luo smiled at her. “You can ask your president.”
With that, she pushed the bike out and prepared to leave.
“Hey!” The girl quickly stopped her. “I don’t dare to ask the president. Tell me.”
After saying that, she looked at her expectantly.
Chu Luo’s eyes flashed and she gestured to her. “Come closer.”
The girl quickly approached.
Chu Luo said something in her ear and left on her bike while the girl’s mouth was hanging wide open.
After Chu Luo left, everyone immediately surrounded her.
“Yu Tong, what did Chu Luo say to you just now?”
Yu Tong was still in a state of shock.
Someone pushed her anxiously. “Snap out of it. I’m dying of curiosity.”
