Chapter 49: Chapter 48 Campus Pop Idol Contest (Part 2)

Mr. Jin's brows furrowed into a character for "river," his mood somewhat displeased.

He had only let these two manage the school's account temporarily, so why did it feel like they wanted to claim ownership?

"But! But... you can't deny the effort we have put in over the past year! Besides, why should these two replace me and Bi Jian? Are they that much better than us?"

"From a work perspective, since Bi Jian and I have managed this account for so long, wouldn't it make sense for us to continue handling it?"

"Mr. Jin, I think your decision is biased! At least Bi Jian and I are not convinced!"

Shu Yinyin rattled off a whole lot in one breath, all her words aimed at maintaining her own interests.

If Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue hadn't appeared, she and Bi Jian would have continued to serve as image ambassadors!

But these two had appeared out of nowhere and muddled everything up!

They were very dissatisfied in their hearts!

Hearing Shu Yinyin talk on and on, Mr. Jin's face grew darker. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shu Yinyin was even questioning the school's decision now!

Replacing the image ambassadors wasn't his decision alone, but the result of discussion among several promotion office teachers, and it was done after consulting with the principal!

This Shu Yinyin was challenging the authority of the school!

He regretted choosing Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian as the school's image ambassadors. This was too much ingratitude!

However, since they had contributed to the school, he still suppressed his anger and said displeasedly, "Students Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue are slightly superior to you both in terms of academic performance and image!"

"Choosing them is not only my opinion but also the result of collective discussion among all the teachers in the promotion office!"

With that, Mr. Jin took a document out of his office desk drawer.

It read, "Decision to Approve Students Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue as Image Ambassadors of Haidong University," and at the bottom right corner of the paper, there was the red official seal of both the president's office and the promotion office!

Seeing this paper, Shu Yinyin's expression stuttered.

She knew Mr. Jin was using the school's authority to check her!

Shu Yinyin was somewhat at a loss for words, but at this moment, Bi Jian, who was forcibly straightening his fingers, spoke.

He managed a forced smile:

"Mr. Jin, I understand your point! I also respect the school's decision, but we simply feel aggrieved!"

"Yes! Granted, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue may be superior to us in some respects, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be better at promoting the school, right? Don't you agree?"

"Moreover, the outside world might not readily accept them as the faces of Haidong. We have operated the account for a year, and netizens already have a deep impression of Yinyin and myself! I think the school's abrupt changeover could risk significant reputational damage, and it's quite unfair to Yinyin and myself!"

"Besides, isn't our term of office supposed to end at the end of the month? There are still two weeks left! Why not wait and see?"

Bi Jian said with a smile, not communicating with Mr. Jin in the forceful tone Shu Yinyin had used.

Instead, he adopted a gentler approach to indicate to Mr. Jin: they were both not convinced and needed Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue to produce some results for a fair comparison!

After listening to Bi Jian's more reasonable explanation, Mr. Jin made eye contact with the other teachers, and their expressions softened slightly.

But his tone was still firm:

"Well, you make a good point, so what do you think is fair? There are two more weeks; what do you want to do?"

Bi Jian's face brightened with delight and he quickly proposed the plan he had thought of:

"Then let's see who has more popularity and influence in the school over this half-month period, our team or Gu Yu's team! We can have the students vote to decide!"

The teachers listened carefully to Bi Jian's proposed voting plan and then discussed it quietly.

Eventually, Mr. Jin agreed to the idea.

"We teachers all think it's feasible! Then let's proceed with this plan, but you will have only one week! If we wait any longer, it will affect the transitional work here at the school!"

"Okay! Thank you, teacher!"

With Mr. Jin's approval, a contemptuous smile flickered in Bi Jian's eyes.

A week's time? Wasn't that just perfect for them?

He and Shu Yinyin had prepared a blockbuster program for the school celebration in six days!

Once he and Shu Yinyin took the stage, they would surely draw all the eyes in the school onto themselves!

As for Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, weren't they just a little famous for a singing video on Dou Ying?

Before that, only Lin Xinyue, the school beauty, had any fame, and Gu Yu? What even was he?

Bi Jian and Shu Yinyin exchanged glances, both feeling confident of their victory.

Seeing that they had no objections, Mr. Jin looked towards Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.

"How about you two? Any thoughts?"

Gu Yu had been coldly observing the whole time, but now that Mr. Jin shifted the conversation to him, he felt somewhat at a loss for what to say.

Because honestly, he wasn't particularly interested in this campus ambassador thing.

He was there entirely to give face to the school, and to experience something meaningful with Lin Xinyue.

If it was going to be such a hassle, he might as well just refuse!

"Xinyue? What do you think? If you ask me, I don't really care whether or not I become the campus ambassador?"

Gu Yu passed the topic to Lin Xinyue, indifferent himself, waiting to see what his girlfriend thought.

Lin Xinyue coldly looked at Shu Yinyin, who was staring back provocatively.

Remembering some conflicts she had with Shu Yinyin during rehearsals with the vocal and dance clubs, she felt annoyed.

"Yu, I want to fight for this!"

Lin Xinyue turned her face, half pleading and half coquettishly speaking to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled slightly, "Okay! Since you said so, let's fight for it together! Let's compete with them!"

His girlfriend was being coy! How could he disagree?

Mr. Jin also showed a smile on his face, he was actually somewhat worried that Gu Yu would give up on the campus ambassador competition!

After all, the matter had been reported to the principal.

If Gu Yu refused, it wouldn't just be a slap in his face, but also in the principal's!

"Great! Since you all agree! Then the publicity department will prepare a competition for you!"

"Let's call it the Campus Popularity Idol Contest! Set it for seven days! Let the whole student body participate!"

"What do you teachers think?"

Mr. Jin took the opportunity to launch a campus activity contest, which would also liven up the students' extracurricular activities!

"No problem!"

The teachers nodded one after another.

"Go for it~ you two! Gu Yu, charge! Represent our Software Engineering Class One in the competition!"

Academic advisor Zhou Ying secretly cheered for Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, clenching her fists.

Seeing Teacher Zhou, who was already thirty but still had a competitive spirit, Gu Yu could only nod with a laugh.

"Okay!"
