"Then let’s follow the usual procedure from the meetings and vote by raising hands.
Those who support Minister Gu to take charge, please raise your hand."
As soon as the words were spoken, the student council members looked at each other, and not many raised their hands, except for a few members from the External Relations Department and some who wanted to curry favor with Gu Bai, totaling no more than ten people.
Zhu Chaoji saw the number of raised hands and smiled with satisfaction, saying again, "Those who support me to take charge, raise your hand."
But everyone’s reaction shocked him.
Aside from a few students with whom he had good relations, no one else raised their hand; they all abstained.
He underestimated Gu Bai’s influence at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Although Gu Bai only acted off-campus, all activities were centered in the entertainment industry.
And what kind of school is the Shanghai Theatre Academy? It can be said that after graduating from this school, 80% of the students will become practitioners in the entertainment industry. Who would want to offend Gu Bai for Zhu Chaoji?
If it weren’t also rumored on campus that Zhu Chaoji was the son of a listed company, the whole scene would probably have been overwhelmingly in favor of Gu Bai. Now that most people were abstaining was already giving him enough face.
Gu Bai sneered contemptuously and slowly stood up.
"Now that the voting result is out, let’s proceed with the agenda. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."
After speaking, Gu Bai intended to leave but suddenly remembered Yi Yiyi’s previous words, turned back, and continued, "Previously, someone from the External Relations Department reported to me that there were members in the student council using their power for personal gain, treating our department’s activity fund as private.
So, I want to inform everyone that from now on, if other departments need financial support for activities, come directly to me. If I’m not available, it will be Vice Minister Yi Yiyi’s decision. Even if you come with the president’s document, it won’t work."
After speaking, regardless of everyone’s reaction, he walked straight towards the meeting room’s door, as for the person he referred to, everyone clearly knew, it was Zhu Chaoji.
All the members of the External Relations Department followed, and as for Zhu Chaoji’s reaction, no one cared in the External Relations Department.
After today’s incident in the meeting room, they all understood that as long as Gu Bai was around, the entire External Relations Department was an independent department within the student council, beyond anyone’s control!
Outside the meeting room door, Yi Yiyi, dressed in Han attire, yet lacking an air of elegance, jumped excitedly and exclaimed, "Oni-Chan! You were so handsome just now!
I’ve long disliked this Zhu Chaoji!"
All the External Relations Department members also looked vindicated.
After all, during this period when Gu Bai was not around, the External Relations Department had become a cash cow, anyone could come and fleece them, they were nearly stripped bare.
Seeing Yi Yiyi’s cute expression, Gu Bai affectionately patted her on the head.
As for the others, they instantly shifted their gaze elsewhere; Yi Yiyi being able to hold the vice minister position as a freshman, they had long guessed her closeness with Gu Bai, it was no surprise.
"By the way, Oni-Chan, our External Relations Department has a task today, which is to arrange the exchange students coming from Korea for the school."
"Exchange students? Not interested, you guys go on your own, come find me if there’s anything you can’t handle."
Upon hearing there was yet another troublesome matter, Gu Bai’s first reaction was to shirk responsibility.
"But I heard there are two particularly beautiful twin sisters among the exchange students this time, I saw them yesterday, they’re really stunning!" Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
"Since it’s a task assigned by the school, we should take it seriously, lead the way, I’ll go take a look."
External Relations Department members: "..."
The minister’s reaction is just too relatable, isn’t it?
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Gu Bai’s face remained unchanged, the basic qualities of an old lecher were still present.
"Stupid Oni-Chan, I knew you’re a pervert! Your heart fluttered as soon as you heard about twin sisters!"
Deeply influenced by the anime culture, Yi Yiyi was instead the most accepting of ambiguous relationships among the girls Gu Bai knew, after all, in the anime world, looks are justice.
Saying this, Gu Bai held Yi Yiyi’s little hand, intending to see the true faces of the twin sisters.
Yi Yiyi had no resistance to Gu Bai holding her hand, skipping along beside him.
Seeing their ambiguous relationship, the other members of the External Relations Department played blind, in the Shanghai Theatre Academy, as long as one knew Gu Bai even slightly, they knew his official girlfriend was the school belle Qi Man.
But even so, they only dared to think in their hearts that Gu Bai was a playboy.
Dare to spread rumors outside, unless they didn’t want to mix in the Shanghai Theatre Academy anymore.
