Chapter 503: Chapter 190: It’s Time to Come Clean! I Am the Founder and Boss of New Era! (2)

What, just because you’re a sponsor, you think you’re all that?

I, Luo Xi, even if it kills me, will never suck up to him!

It seems like if you want to get ahead in the student council, you really need a thick skin.

When I first got here, I thought this place was simple, but it’s actually a hot mess.

The class beauty sighed; a part of her still had a bit of hauteur.

Just then, someone suddenly said, "Ah Xi, you put it up crooked!"

Speak of the devil.

Su Zelin had somehow already appeared beneath her.

Luo Xi was startled.

The mischievous class president really had a way of popping up out of nowhere. Thankfully, I was just ranting in my mind and hadn’t said anything aloud.

"Boss, you’re here?"

Though rebellious, after having been oppressed so much, the class beauty still instinctively put on a flattery smile under the mischievous one’s oppressive presence.

"Lift it up a little more, a little more, it’s not straight yet, it’s all wrinkled, Ah Xi, you need to use some strength, didn’t you have breakfast..."

Su Zelin was acting like a strategist below, directing the class beauty’s actions.

After a good five minutes, they finally had the banner hung properly.

As Luo Xi climbed down the ladder, she was puzzled.

It’s just hanging a banner, and the boss was directing for so long, almost as if he was about to say ’up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right BABA’, was I really that crooked?

It was then she suddenly remembered one thing, she was wearing a skirt today.

"Boss, since when was hanging a banner such a precise job? You did it on purpose, didn’t you have some ulterior motives?"

Luo Xi suspiciously tightened her legs.

"Ah Xi, how can you slander your boss like that? Someone as upright as me, how could I have any evil intentions? It’s the 21st century, how come people still don’t have basic trust in each other!"

Su Zelin acted all indignant.

This girl actually dared to suspect me. Someday I’ll bring this up with Qin Weixian and arrange for those pretty snowy white legs of hers to rub up against a rickshaw.

On another note, Ah Xi really likes purple...

The Oscar-winning Jianglan put on a righteous face and successfully fooled the class beauty.

Alright, maybe I was overthinking!

Even her tightly crossed legs were unconsciously relaxed.

Just then, Su Zelin was feeling a bit thirsty.

Today was a sunny day, with the sun blazing bright, even in spring it was a bit hot.

So the mischievous one pulled out a note from his pocket and handed it to Luo Xi: "Ah Xi, let me treat you to a bottle of Beibingyang!"

He said treat, but he was actually just making the class beauty run an errand.

There was a small convenience store not far from the stadium, but it was about two hundred meters away, and Su Zelin didn’t feel like moving.

"Treat me to a soda, you just want to make me your runner, right? Boss, this is abuse of personal power, it has nothing to do with class affairs, I can refuse!"

The class beauty wasn’t dumb; she saw through the mischievous one’s intentions.

You think you can buy me, Luo Xi, with just a yuan’s worth of soda?

Boss, you’re underestimating me!

At least a six-yuan spicy hot pot, come on!

The higher-ups in the student council treat you like some kind of Tathagata Buddha.

But I won’t stoop like those mundane people!

Wait, why did I say "I"...

Luo Xi, have you bowed to him so long you can’t stand back up?

No, today I’m going to stand tall as a person!

And what if I refuse him?

I don’t believe the mischievous class president can do anything about it!

Come on, try and take advantage of me if you dare!

"Oh, I see, never mind then."

Su Zelin put the two-yuan note back into his pocket and sighed; these things couldn’t be forced.

"Originally, I was thinking I might have a word with Chairman Qin about how capable you’re becoming, see if I could get you a vice presidency in the department’s PR committee this term."

Now you’ll have to rub elbows with a rickshaw.

Having said that, the mischievous one added in his mind.

Vice president?

Luo Xi’s eyes lit up at the sound of this.

She really didn’t doubt that Su Zelin had that kind of power.

After all, he was the big shot in the student council, and his influence was evident, not to mention she was doing pretty well in the PR department herself.

Every day she did hard labor, hanging banners and writing on blackboards was just routine, almost to the point of rubbing elbows with a rickshaw.

"Boss, we’re old friends, you up, I down, don’t just mention small errands like buying a soda, you can have me do whatever you want!"

The class beauty changed her tone, rushed forward and reached into Su Zelin’s pocket eagerly.

She pulled out the note and cheerfully ran off to buy the soda.

She discovered a shortcut to rise in the student council—having someone higher up.

As long as the big shot covered for her, getting a vice presidency or even head position isn’t impossible!

Even though she had to kiss up to the mischievous class president, kissing up to one person was better than a whole bunch, and she was long used to being his capable little sidekick.

Watching Luo Xi run to buy the soda, a satisfied curve appeared on Su Zelin’s lips.

Ah Xi, oh Ah Xi, you little monkey, still hoping to escape the palm of my Tathagata Buddha, do you even know what you’re up against?

...

Not long after, Luo Xi came back with the two iced Beibingyangs, one for each of them.

Having a soda really refreshed her, felt like it recharged her life.

The class beauty continued to hang banners while the mischievous one walked away from the stadium, feeling refreshed.

Instead of returning to the dorms, he headed straight for the electronics store.

The store was bustling with people; ever since they started offering phones, customers had never been scarce.

Phones aren’t like computers; once you own one, unless you’re an enthusiast, you rarely visit computer stores again or plan to get a second one.

But as long as economic conditions allow, even if you have ten phones, you’ll still want to buy the next better one when you see it, or at least check out the latest new models, compare them with what you have, and discover yours is outdated, making the urge to upgrade stronger.
