If only that were the case!
They wouldn’t need to go out of their way to find someone to specially persuade the other party.
However, what is an opportunity to the average person may not even be worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
This is probably the difference between people.
The Minister of Publicity was quite envious of Sheng Ning’an; how she wished she could have that kind of confidence as well.
But then again, with a family background like the other’s—no need to worry about employment, no concerns about making a living, able to inherit billions in family assets upon graduation.
Perhaps she wouldn’t even need a resume.
She simply had no need for these so-called opportunities to gild the lily.
"That’s the situation, our Student Union President has approached her before, but she seems not very interested, so we thought about asking you to help persuade her," explained the Minister of Publicity.
Hosting the school anniversary would provide a chance to be seen by the whole student body and to make one’s presence felt in front of the school leaders.
Such a great opportunity that others would vie for, but what did she just hear?
Sheng Ning’an not interested?
Actually needing someone else’s persuasion?
Shi Yue’s inner peace was disturbed once more, rationality gnawed at by jealousy.
"Shi Yue? Student Shi Yue?" Seeing no response, the Minister of Publicity couldn’t help but call out.
Shi Yue finally snapped back to reality, not wanting the other party to see the jealousy she couldn’t hide in time, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Minister, I understand, I will do my best to persuade her."
"Good, tell her that this is helping the Student Union, whether she wants extra academic points or has any other requests, as long as it’s within our power, we will make it happen for her."
"Okay!" Shi Yue’s smile became increasingly forced.
The Minister of Publicity took it for concern over completing the task; after all, even the President personally failed to persuade the other party, so he comforted her, "You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself, just try your best to persuade her, and it’s okay if she really doesn’t want to. I understand this is difficult, but if you can persuade her to agree, I’ll credit you for it. When it comes to this year’s evaluation for outstanding staff, I’ll be sure to put your name forward first."
"Thank you, Minister!" Shi Yue did not feel happy upon hearing this.
For one thing, compared to the outstanding staff award, she was more unwilling to see Sheng Ning’an in all her glory; for another, she knew very well that, given their relationship, Sheng Ning’an was unlikely to heed her advice.
So this outstanding staff award had little to do with her.
It was like a carrot dangled in front of a donkey, visible but out of reach.
After leaving the office, Shi Yue returned to her dormitory. Looking at Sheng Ning’an’s profile, her heart stirred again. The resentment and discontent in her eyes seemed to almost materialize.
Tian Yu inadvertently met her gaze and was startled by the hostility in her eyes. Following her gaze to Sheng Ning’an, she couldn’t help but call out tentatively, "Yueyue, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing." Shi Yue quickly withdrew her gaze and turned back to her own spot.
Tian Yu, remembering that look in her eyes, couldn’t help but pat her chest a little.
She felt that the atmosphere in the dormitory was growing tenser.
Tian Yu didn’t dare speak to Sheng Ning’an about what she saw, fearing it would provoke an even deeper conflict between the two; she only dared to say to Xue Xian, "I feel like Yueyue is a bit off. Especially the way she looks at An’an, it’s pretty frightening. We should pay more attention from now on to prevent them from fighting again."
Xue Xian nodded her head.
