Since they had made it clear, there was no need to continue the conversation.

Liu Ran took advantage of the time when Yi Che went to the prison to see his father to go to Blood Oath for the meeting. It was almost time now. If she went back late, she was afraid that it would arouse Yi Che’s suspicion.

After all, in Yi Che’s eyes, Liu Ran had been under Yi Kun’s control for the past few years and rarely came into contact with the outside world.

The city reconstruction was still underway. At Cassel Academy, the long winter vacation had finally ended and its community welcomed the new school season.

Bai Xue entered the school as she wished. As a transfer student, she attended Class F with Shi Man and Su Tang.

At first, Geng Hui was worried that she would not be able to keep up with the class’s learning progress, but after a while, he realized that this child was actually as hardworking as Su Tang. He could not help but feel even more gratified.

Now, Class F’s learning efficiency was improving. This was all thanks to the developments in school.

At the beginning of the new semester, Shi Mu could not wait to bring Shi Man into the Student Union and tell everyone that Shi Man would be the next president to replace him.

The selection of the Student Union originally needed to be done in progressive stages. The next president would usually be the assistant of the previous president. However, Shi Man had brazenly snatched the position. No one dared to voice any objections, but there would be many criticisms behind her back.

Shi Mu’s former assistant was a senior two years older than Shi Man. He had always been arrogant. Other than Shi Mu, he never took anyone seriously. Occasionally, when he was stubborn, he even dared to refute Shi Mu’s orders in public.

He thought that he would naturally inherit the position of the President. Unexpectedly, a presidential candidate appeared out of nowhere at the beginning of the new semester. Moreover, she was just a junior girl. He was immediately very unconvinced.

That afternoon, Shi Man was once again dragged into the Student Union by Shi Mu to familiarize herself with various matters. As soon as she entered the office, she saw the vice president, Gu Fan, sitting in the seat below, marking the internal documents with a serious expression.

When he saw Shi Mu return, he only looked up with a disdainful expression. His lips moved as he greeted Shi Mu, ignoring Shi Man.

Shi Man could not be bothered with him. He pretended not to see her nine times out of ten times when she came to the office. The other time, he mocked her sarcastically when Shi Mu was guiding her.

She could roughly guess what the other party was thinking, but she was determined to get the position.

Shi Mu had looked for Shi Man this time to tell her about the student deduction system controlled by the Student Union. This had always been what Shi Man was most interested in.

She listened attentively, but there was always a sharp gaze above her head that annoyed her.

Shi Man remembered all the rules and regulations that Shi Mu had explained. Only then did she take the time to look up at the owner of the gaze. “Have you seen enough? Can I interpret your current gaze as your curiosity about your future superior?”

Gu Fan’s expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few mocking words. “You should know very well the difference between securing your position and purely competing with your own strength, right?” “Gu Fan!” Shi Mu could not stand him giving his sister a cold face a few times. In the past, this person liked to go against him, but he tolerated it on account that he was dedicated to working for the Student Union. However, Shi Man was not someone he could mock just because he wanted to!

Gu Fan raised his chin arrogantly and threw away the pen in his hand. He crossed his arms and twitched his lips in disdain. “Why? Is there a problem with what 1 said? President, I don’t object to you choosing a suitable candidate to inherit your position, but it’s probably not appropriate to find a newcomer who doesn’t know anything, right?”

Shi Man tilted her head and raised her eyebrows with a faint smile. “Does that mean you have a more suitable candidate than me?”

“Of course.” Gu Fan proudly crossed his legs and swayed his toes. “There are many people more suitable than you.”

“Oh.” Shi Man casually placed her chin on the back of her hand and nodded seriously. “Vice-President Gu is obviously the kind of person who is selfless and subservient to the public. I believe you won’t recommend yourself, right?”

The first half of her words made Gu Fan feel a little smug, but when she reached the second half, he realized that Shi Man was not as harmless as she looked.

She was digging a pit for him!

Gu Fan sneered and did not fall for it easily. “The President of the Student Union should be selected by the entire school. It’s not something I can control alone. Of course, if everyone thinks that I’m more suitable, I’ll definitely do my best to be the President and not let everyone down.”

“Gu Fan, do you mean that you want to hold a public election?” Shi Mu frowned and glared at Gu Fan.

The President of Cassel Academy’s Student Union did not have to be appointed by the previous President. Another way was to run openly, but this meant that it would take a lot of effort..
