C559 – Whoever You like
“Wow! President, you’re incredible! How on earth did you manage to snag tickets to Ann Chuxia’s concert?!”
“Goodness, these are first-class seats! I’ve heard first-class seats are going for over 10,000 yuan now!”
“Let me tell you, it’s even more than that. The tickets sold out in no time. Nowadays, if you want a first-class seat, it’ll cost you at least 20,000!”
“President, you’re just too cool. We couldn’t even get our hands on a fifth-class ticket, and you scored two first-class ones?”
“The president is truly in a league of his own. He’s not someone just anyone can hold a candle to!”
The student union members around him were all full of admiration.
Ann Chuxia’s concert had been heavily promoted well in advance, and the tickets went on sale and were snapped up in mere seconds.
Whether there was insider scalping involved is anyone’s guess, but even so, getting your hands on a ticket was a Herculean task.
First-class seats are the closest to the stage, offering a crystal-clear view of Ann Chuxia.
The rest of the seats at the concert were packed together like a movie theater, cramped and uncomfortable. But a first-class seat was like a massive sofa, where you could comfortably lie back and enjoy the show.
So, to secure a first-class ticket, you needed more than just money; you needed clout and connections!
“It’s just a couple of measly tickets, no big deal. They might be hard for you to come by, but for me, it’s just a phone call away.”
Lyu Changping was even more smug, flaunting the tickets with a flick of his wrist.
Then, he placed the ticket before Ann Chuxia: “Su Qiu, I bought this ticket especially for you. Not too shabby for a first-class seat, huh?”
Lyu Changping was sure Ann Chuxia would be overjoyed, ready to leap up and embrace him.
Yep!
That’s definitely how the script goes!
He might even be rewarded with a passionate kiss!
Oh, the woes of the wealthy and influential – always shining like the sun wherever they go. I’m just too impressive!
“Wow, I’m so jealous of Su Qiu. Su Qiu, you should definitely take it.”
“If the president were to gift me a ticket like this, I’d be over the moon!”
“Absolutely!”
The other girls in the student council had stars in their eyes, while the boys couldn’t hide their envy.
Lyu Changping was left reeling. What was happening? Moments ago, she claimed to dislike noise and crowds, preferring peace and quiet, yet now she was eager to hit the dance floor?
So you’re saying disco dancing isn’t noisy? If I’m not mistaken, it should be louder than a concert, right?
Now I get it; it’s not the concert you care about. It’s the noise, or is it who you’re going with?
“Humph!”
Lyu Changping’s expression turned icy as he snorted, “Well, if Su Qiu doesn’t want to go to the concert, that’s fine. Our department is in need of a sponsorship. You can go secure that. We can’t afford to be short; anything less than $200,000 won’t cut it.”
“Two hundred thousand?”
The students around gasped at the amount. They all realized Lyu Changping was exacting revenge, but this seemed excessively harsh.
Eastsea University had a good reputation, and there were many businesses eager to collaborate, but most partnerships were with the school administration, not the student union.
Securing a few thousand dollars in sponsorship was challenging enough, and getting ten or twenty thousand was considered a success. Two hundred thousand seemed like a fantasy!
“Su Qiu, I understand that’s a significant amount, but as an alumnus, you must have plenty of connections. Two hundred thousand is merely a trifle, right?”
“Of course, if you truly can’t raise the two hundred thousand, I’m willing to help. To my family, it’s just a drop in the bucket. The only condition is that you accompany me to the concert.”
Lyu Changping started to wield his authority, ready to use his position to pressure Su Qiu.
“Sorry! I don’t care who it is, I’m not going.”
Su Qiu replied with a faint smile.
Lyu Changping was livid, clenching his fists. “I am the president of the student council! You must do as I say, or else leave the council!”
“Fine, I’ll quit.”
With those five words, Su Qiu left Lyu Changping speechless.
At Eastsea University, a prestigious institution, holding a post in the student union was coveted by many students, even though most viewed the union with a degree of disdain.
Nevertheless, a number of students flocked to it eagerly.
Lyu Changping was aware that Su Qiu had been parachuted into her position, backed by some significant connections. However, he was confident that her backing couldn’t rival his own, as his father was a friend of Principal Ye. The fact that she had been placed in the student council indicated that Su Qiu placed great importance on the role.
This also suggested that Su Qiu’s family, or rather the influential figure behind her, highly valued the position. Su Qiu wouldn’t dare step away from the student council and was sure to follow his lead obediently. Changping had pulled strings like this more than once before, and it had always been effective.
But this time, the outcome took him by surprise.
