Li Zhi had been the deputy platoon leader during military training. Thanks to his diligent performance, he had won over many people within a month. Consequently, he successfully secured the position of class monitor for the Industrial Management class with over half of the votes in the first class committee election.
Lin Feng held no grudge against this diligent class monitor, but Li Zhi, it seemed, didn't like him much and always spoke to him bluntly.
"A meeting? What meeting?" Lin Feng casually asked when he heard there was supposed to be a meeting that night.
"Why all the questions? You'll find out when you get there…" Li Zhi retorted dismissively and returned to his seat, clearly uninterested in further conversation with Lin Feng.
Did I offend him somehow? Lin Feng wondered, puzzled, as he watched Li Zhi's resentful departure.
"Ahem, Brother Feng…" Wang Zikai coughed suddenly, prompting Lin Feng. "Li Zhi is also in our school's Sports Department, but he's just an ordinary member… You became the department head in less than two weeks. Thanks to your help, I also became a deputy head. Li Zhi, being the class monitor, naturally feels put out. And there's also…"
Lin Feng understood Wang Zikai's point. As class monitor, Li Zhi likely felt a sense of superiority among his classmates. So, when a seemingly unremarkable classmate suddenly became a department head in the Student Union—and his direct superior—how could Li Zhi possibly take a liking to him?
But Wang Zikai seemed to be implying there were other reasons.
"What else?" Lin Feng stared at Wang Zikai curiously. Seeing him hesitate and stammer annoyed Lin Feng. "Just spit it out! Don't beat around the bush!"
"Also, Boss, you've been hanging out with the two great beauties from the Finance class a lot. The guys from both classes aren't too happy about it…" Wang Zikai said, a peculiar expression on his face.
So, it's jealousy… Lin Feng finally realized. Looking again at the other guys in his class, he could indeed detect a hidden hostility in their gazes. Damn, have I become public enemy number one among the guys?
"Wait a minute... Kai Zi, you said all the guys dislike me? Does that include you three?" Lin Feng suddenly grabbed Wang Zikai and asked seriously.
Only then did Wang Zikai realize his slip of the tongue, and his face turned awkward. In truth, any normal guy would feel envious of Lin Feng. But the three of them had received many favors from Lin Feng, so naturally, they couldn't easily admit to disliking him. What a bind…
"Damn it, I get it! You ungrateful jerks, you dislike me too, huh? Fine, I won't help you with your problems anymore!" Lin Feng said with a teasing laugh, then slumped onto his desk, ready to commence his vital daily task: sleeping.
What Lin Feng didn't know was that this seemingly ordinary meeting notice heralded the first general assembly of the new School of Management Student Union members. There were two main items on the agenda: first, to announce the arrangements for this year's school sports meet, and second, to elect a new Vice President of the Student Union to fill the vacancy left by Liu Yunfeng's resignation.
The School of Management Student Union comprised eight departments: the Presidency, the Secretariat, the Academic Department, the Arts Department, the Health and Sanitation Department, the Sports Department, the Organization Department, and the Publicity Department. Apart from the Presidency, the heads and deputy heads of all other departments were eligible to run for Vice President of the Student Union. This meant Lin Feng was also eligible, but since neither he nor Wang Zikai knew the meeting's agenda, they paid it no mind.
Of course, even if Lin Feng had known he had the chance to run for Vice President of the Student Union that night, he wouldn't have been particularly interested.
As the head of the Arts Department, Ning Aoxue had also received the meeting notice. Unlike Lin Feng, she was aware she would have the chance to run for Vice President of the Student Union that night and was meticulously preparing her speech.
The election process for the Vice President of the faculty's Student Union was relatively simple and primarily divided into two parts.
The first part was the speech. Each candidate had five minutes to deliver their speech. After a vote, the top three candidates with the best performances would proceed to the second round of the election.
The second part was a free Q&A session. Each candidate would take turns on stage for a three-minute campaign, followed by questions from the audience. Voters would then cast their final votes based on the candidates' performances. The candidate who received the most votes—provided it was more than half of the total—would be elected the new Vice President of the Student Union.
An excellent speech could significantly enhance one's presentation. Ning Aoxue, a girl with a fair amount of ambition, took her preparation very seriously. She meticulously planned how to showcase her strengths in the speech to win over the majority of voters and secure her election.
Ning Aoxue wracked her brains, but as she began to write, she felt something wasn't quite right. Tilting her head slightly, she noticed Su Zi resting listlessly on her desk, a woeful expression on her face…
"A'zi, what's wrong?" Ning Aoxue rarely saw the usually cheerful Su Zi looking like this and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Su Zi lifted her head, shot Ning Aoxue a resentful glance, and then fell silent again.
"What's really the matter? Are you sick?" Ning Aoxue was a little puzzled by Su Zi's behavior. The girl had always been a chatterbox; it was strange for her to suddenly become so quiet.
"I already told you…" Su Zi finally spoke, an exasperated expression on her face. "Ning Aoxue, I don't know if you genuinely don't care or are just pretending not to notice, but Lin Feng has a girlfriend! How can you be so unconcerned?"
"You're still hung up on this?" Ning Aoxue rolled her eyes, speechless, and lightly tapped her forehead. "Honestly, A'zi, what does Lin Feng having a girlfriend have to do with me? Besides, considering how lecherous he is… it would be strange if he *didn't* have a girlfriend! You're so worked up about this—are you jealous?"
Su Zi had only told Ning Aoxue that she'd seen Lin Feng's girlfriend, but she hadn't specified that Tang Rou was Lin Feng's *actual* girlfriend. Ning Aoxue assumed Su Zi was talking about Cao Ying. Having seen Cao Ying sneak a kiss with Lin Feng in the car, and after mulling it over for many days, Ning Aoxue had gradually, albeit reluctantly, come to accept Cao Ying's existence…
Ning Aoxue knew she had a peculiar feeling towards Lin Feng, but she also knew she was far from being in love with him. That being the case, what right did she have to interfere in his private life? Lin Feng was just her bodyguard, after all.
But... he took his girlfriend back to their villa for some hanky-panky! That was what Su Zi really wanted to blurt out. She desperately wanted to know how Ning Aoxue would react to this news, but she didn't dare say it. If Ning Aoxue genuinely fell out with Lin Feng over this, then Su Zi wouldn't even be able to remain friends with him.
Ultimately, Su Zi had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit, "Yes, I'm jealous!"
Ning Aoxue was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened as she stared at Su Zi. She couldn't believe Su Zi had admitted it so frankly.
