Chapter 377 - 377: Agreeing to Competition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He was not worried that Shi Man would not be selected, but with his sister’s expression, she probably would not agree to such a troublesome matter. Shi Mu suddenly felt a headache.

It had not been easy for him to get his sister to agree to be elected as the next president of the Student Union, but this Gu Fan had found trouble for him.

“There was once a rule in the Student Union that if the president has a candidate for the next heir, there’s no need to run openly. Gu Fan, don’t tell me you don’t know?” Shi Mu rejected his suggestion without waiting for his answer.

If his sister ran away because she found it troublesome, he didn’t know how much effort he would have to spend to coax her over.

Shi Man was the best candidate in his heart. After the reconstruction of the city, everyone in the family knew Shi Man’s ability.

It was said that there had been a huge safety accident in Yi Zheng’s project this time, but this was the first time Shi Man had done such a thing without any mistakes. This was enough to show Shi Man’s ability.

Although Gu Fan had seen videos of Shi Man’s rescue at the event location on television, in his eyes, these young ladies were used to being pampered. Occasionally, they would be on television to put on a show.

He did not believe that Shi Man would really guard a disaster area that could erupt at any time from the beginning to the end and be the saint who did things without asking for anything in return.

As expected, most of the reconstruction mission fell into the hands of the Shi family. This confirmed his thoughts. Everything Shi Man did was just the Shi family deliberately grooming a young lady to reap benefits.

He shrugged his shoulders indifferently with a fearless attitude. He smiled arrogantly and said, “Mr. President, I’m afraid your candidate doesn’t meet the expectations of the other members of the Student Union and all the students of Cassel. Such arbitrariness is not your usual style.”

Shi Mu frowned in dissatisfaction. He was very disgusted by his sarcastic tone. “How do you know that everyone will object to my decision like you?”

“Of course, I do, because I’ve already done the questionnaire. Most people don’t want a newcomer who’s never handled a student union to run such an important institution as the school.”

Gu Fan threw a thick stack of documents on the table with a determined smile on his face. “President, take a good look. Public opinion is also very important. If the person you choose is not convincing, I’m afraid the Student Union’s work will not be easy to carry out in the future, right?”

Shi Mu frowned and picked up the document to take a closer look. Sure enough, many people raised objections, but Shi Mu dared to guarantee that these people had either received Gu Fan’s bribe or believed his slander. That was why they had such strong opinions about Shi Man.

“How is it? Mr. Chairman, have you thought it through? Will you ruin the trust and goodwill you’ve accumulated in school for your sister’s sake, or agree to a public election and let someone really suitable take your place?”

Gu Fan’s aggressive aura made the already solemn atmosphere even tenser.

Shi Mu was about to reject him when he saw Shi Man leaning against the master seat slowly as if she was already the master. “Alright, I agree to the public election. You can choose whatever you want. When the time comes, I’ll make you admit defeat.”

“Miss Shi, you’re so arrogant.” Gu Fan’s lips twitched with a fake smile, and a smug glint flashed across his eyes.

He had already secretly asked around about Shi Man’s personality. The students in her grade seemed to have changed their opinion of her, but there were also many people who disliked her. With her reputation of courting death in the past, it was simply a fool’s dream to compete with him!

In Gu Fan’s opinion, Shi Man’s current aura was just because of Shi Mu’s love. This time, he wanted her to know that her brother could not protect her all the time. Without the Shi family, she was nothing!

As if afraid that Shi Man would go back on her word, Gu Fan quickly handed the date and content of the election to Shi Mu and sneered. “The scope of the public election would be expanded to the entire school. All students who want to participate can sign up.”

“Alright, I’m easy. You decide.” Shi Man didn’t even look at the plan that Gu Fan had prepared. She placed her arm on the armrest of the chair and gently propped up her tilted head with her fingers, looking bored and sleepy. “What are we competing on? Just say it.”

Gu Fan was waiting for her to say this. He was so excited that his voice was trembling. “As everyone knows, the President of the Student Union of Cassel Academy needs to have various attributes such as good academic results, physical education results, ability, social skills, and so on. If you’re in a lower grade, I won’t bully you. How about we compete in the last three?”

A faint smile appeared on Shi Man’s lips and Gu Fan felt his hair stand on end. His eyebrows twitched slightly as he frowned in confusion. “What are you smiling at?”

As Shi Man looked up slightly, her beautiful eyebrows curved into a pair of crescent moons. “I’m laughing at you for overestimating yourself. Even in terms of results, you can’t compare to me..”
