When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 194 I vote for Yun Shu

In any case, Luoshui was eventually served.

Even if she is brought down by others in the future, at least for now, she is the new president of the Ordnance Company.

Zhang Fan gave up his seat for Luo Shui, then smiled and said, "Well then, let's say goodbye, everyone. The new president will take over the next meeting."

He waved goodbye, turned and left quite casually, and did not participate in the following meetings.

"Sigh, Senior Zhang Fan is really cunning."

Huo Heng, the president of the Taoist Society, a lazy young man, said, "I also really want to get out of this quagmire."

Bai Ze and Yun Shu are now bitter enemies, and the upcoming meetings, and indeed the entire year to come, will not be peaceful.

Zhang Fan's departure at this time can be considered a safe escape before the quagmire took hold.

The others, however, cannot.

"You can step down."

Zhao Yao suggested with a smile, "We could even sell this position for a good price. I'm sure there are some people among you who would be willing to take it. For example, Shi Qingfeng, the vice president of the Taoist Society, has quite a good relationship with President Bai Ze."

On Yun Shu's side, they were absolutely willing to recommend someone close to them to be the president of the Taoist Society.

"No thanks, I don't want to offend either side," Huo Heng quickly replied.

"Is that so?" Zhao Yao narrowed her eyes, chuckled softly, and didn't say much, but just glanced at the flames meaningfully.

At this moment, the student council president saw Luo Shui sit down and said, "Let me first introduce the new president. Luo Shui, the new president of the Armory Club, is also a freshman this year. As for the super freshman Bai Ze, I don't think I need to introduce him much."

He then said to Bai Ze and Luo Shui, "My name is Ling Zhou, and I am currently the president of the student council."

"Xu Xiao, from the Hundred Herbs Society," Xu Xiao introduced himself calmly, holding his pipe.

"Buddhist Society, Yuan Chi." The monk raised his palm and recited his Dharma name.

“Lingyin Society, Chu Junzhao,” the woman in the purple dress continued.

The other club presidents also gave their names one by one, and none of them deliberately remained silent, which was a low-class behavior.

Luo Shui greeted everyone with a lively and friendly smile, demonstrating her ability to be a smiling tiger.

After the introductions were completed, the meeting officially began.

"It's time to settle the accounts of the Wenhua Society and the Wudao Society. Please transfer the points to the Dandao Society's account within three days."

Bai Ze made the first move, projecting the account books and documents into a screen and sending them to Yun Shu and Chu Xingyun. "In addition, I have decided to reduce the alchemy society's expenditure on pills for these two societies."

The documents left behind by Wei Changqing finally came in handy at this moment, and Bai Ze immediately asked the two gangs for money.

Although Wei Changqing had deleted all the shady stuff, the official bills were still enough to make the two gangs bleed money.

Wei Changqing had always traded pills with the two societies at cost price, and in some transactions, the Pill Dao Society even lost money.

Of course, the Alchemy Society might lose money, but Wei Changqing definitely won't.

If Yun Shu or Yun Shu's elders gave Wei Changqing some pointers, it would be enough to benefit him greatly. If they were to reveal any secret techniques, Wei Changqing would make an even bigger profit.

Now, of course, Bai Ze wouldn't let the two gangs get away with it, and all prices were the original price.

"This bill is not right."

After reviewing the bill, Chu Xingyun immediately raised his voice, "This wasn't the price when the order was placed. What, is President Bai Ze going to back out of a deal that's already been completed?"

The transaction is down to the final payment, and now you're telling me the price has changed? You, Bai Ze, are really something else.

"To say you've changed your mind, you could say you've changed your mind."

Bai Ze maintained his smile and said, "I suspect that former president Wei Changqing harmed the club's interests, and I am now planning to hold him accountable. I will send the original bills and transaction details to the student council for review by the disciplinary committee."

"Of course you two can say no to this bill. Even if the disciplinary committee finds evidence against Wei Changqing and he is expelled from school or even prosecuted, it will not implicate you two."

This is equivalent to having already signed a contract, which has legal effect, so the two organizations can certainly refuse Bai Ze's bill.

But Wei Changqing was in trouble.

Even if Wei Changqing cleans up the mess after being approached by that group of ruthless individuals, he will still be under constant surveillance.

Forget about doing anything you want, and be careful even with people close to Wei Changqing, lest they find something to use against you.

Of course, if Wei Changqing always behaves uprightly and is a virtuous gentleman, then he can simply ignore Bai Ze's words.

“The original price was indeed unreasonable, I will make up the difference,” Yun Shu said.

To protect Wei Changqing, these points must be spent.

Anyway, it's only for this year.

"Senior Yun Shu is very righteous," Bai Ze said with a smile.

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to reduce spending on elixirs?"

Yun Shu then changed the subject and retorted, "The Martial Arts Club has the most members and requires a large amount of pills. If I reduce the expenditure, I won't be able to explain it to my classmates."

"Wei Changqing can meet the needs of various clubs, so why can't you?" Chu Xingyun sneered.

“There’s nothing we can do about that,” Bai Ze replied calmly. “If we supply more to Muscle Club, the other clubs will naturally have less.”

You should know that Bai Ze promised to double the supply to Muscle Company.

Xu Kaicheng, who was watching the play, never expected that the fire would spread directly to him. He couldn't watch the play anymore, and he had to go on stage himself.

"What do you mean by saying that Wei Changqing can meet the needs of various clubs?"

Xu Kaicheng slammed his fist on the table and said, "In previous years, many members of our club suffered injuries due to a lack of elixirs to recover. This year, we can finally satisfy that need. Are the people in the Martial Arts Club human beings, but the people in our club aren't?"

At this point, compromise is absolutely out of the question; otherwise, we'd have to spit out the medicine we'd already received.

Martial artists who cultivate their bodies have the greatest need for external aids. Basically, they need to use medicine to recover after each body-strengthening exercise to avoid hidden injuries.

Those who believe that the human body has unlimited potential and train relentlessly will either be exceptionally gifted or die along the way.

Therefore, this elixir must be taken.

Xu Kaicheng finally understood; Bai Ze was asking him to pledge his allegiance.

Although Xu Kaicheng had already sided with Bai Ze, he still needed to make the necessary gestures.

If you don't fight against the enemy, how can I believe in your loyalty?
At this point, loyalty is essential.

So Xu Kaicheng stepped in and started a fight with the other party.

"All the elixirs will be put to good use. As the president of the Alchemy Club, I will not let the school down. Right now, it's the Muscle Club. The other clubs will also be adjusted according to the needs. This is the first proposal I'm making today," Bai Ze said.

He also began to become loyal.

As the president of the club, Bai Ze has only two words for Yujing Martial Arts University: loyalty!
Anyway, Bai Ze's current cultivation doesn't require any pills, so he can be a selfless person.

Even because many people in the Alchemy Society were laid off, some of the internal pills could be distributed, as long as points were awarded.

Have you ever seen such a selfless club president who gives all the pills to others?

Compared to Wei Changqing, Bai Ze was practically a saint.

In this way, even if Yun Shu wanted to find something to use against Bai Ze and remove him from his position as president, it would be impossible.

As for challenging others in the Dao of Alchemy... Wei Changqing serves as a cautionary tale.

“I also think President Bai Ze’s suggestion is good,” Sima Ming then added. “Me too,” Luo Shui seconded.

That makes four votes.

“Compared to Wei Changqing, President Bai Ze is much easier to get along with. I agree,” Zhao Yao said with a light laugh.

"I second that." Chu Junzhao of the Lingyin Society also did not object.

Previously, Wei Changqing and Qiao Yuexuan, the vice president of the Hundred Herbs Society, worked together to keep a tight grip on the elixirs.

Even if the president opposes the allocation plan at the meeting, the raw materials and finished products are all in their hands. Even if your proposal is approved, there are plenty of ways to sabotage it.

Now that Wei Changqing has stepped down, a loophole has appeared, and other club presidents are naturally seizing the opportunity to expand it.

“That sounds like a good thing, I agree,” Jingjie said with a smile.

In this way, there are seven votes. The student council is in charge of the proceedings and their votes are not counted unless the school issues an order through the student council.

Ling Zhou announced, "Seven votes. President Bai Ze's proposal has been approved. President Bai Ze is requested to provide a specific plan and send it to each club."

"President Bai Ze, do you have any other suggestions?" Ling Zhou continued to ask.

“That’s all,” Bai Ze leaned back in his chair and said, “I’m just a freshman myself, so I won’t offer any more guidance on things I don’t understand.”

At this point, it's necessary to show some concession.

In any case, no matter what the proposal is, it basically has to go around Bai Ze.

He holds four votes, enough to influence any proposal.

Next, Jingjie proposed providing support to impoverished members of the club, as well as to students who had not yet joined the club.

The proposal was approved, but the corresponding regulations still need to be approved by the school.

Chu Junzhao of the Lingyin Society proposed to research new musical instruments and needed the assistance of the Ordnance Society.

This didn't require a vote; Luo Shui readily agreed.

She certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity to do someone a favor slip by.

The other club presidents also had their own proposals, including the Taoism Club, the Buddhism Club, and the Martial Arts Club.

The presidents of the first two clubs were simply laid-back, because they couldn't even make decisions unilaterally within their own clubs, so they were too lazy to say much.

And Yun Shu...

He must have had a proposal, but he didn't say it.

With four votes in hand, Bai Ze was watching intently, making it difficult for Yun Shu to pass any proposals.

Since that's the case, it's better not to say anything, lest you embarrass yourself.

This time, Bai Ze not only befriended Jing Jie, but also had the unexpected help of Luo Shui, making it a truly powerful move that Yun Shu was completely unable to counter.

Therefore, we had no choice but to give up.

This person truly endured it, even managing to remain expressionless, which only heightened Bai Ze's wariness.

After that previous battle, Bai Ze dared not underestimate anyone.

Don't let Yun Shu's quiet demeanor fool you; once he seizes an opportunity, he will act without hesitation.

Just like before, Yun Yan's death ended Bai Ze's challenge path, and there was also the previous direct interception and killing of Bai Ze.

The meeting thus gradually moved into its second half.

After everyone had finished presenting their proposals, Ling Zhou said, "Finally, there is one more thing I need to inform you. After careful consideration, the school has decided to restart the exploration of the dimensional realm in the next academic year. At that time, it may be necessary for you to select appropriate personnel to carry out the exploration mission."

"Please give these requirements your full consideration when you return."

This was an order directly issued by the school, and the twelfth floor had no right to object.

Although it appears to be a highly autonomous student body, with each of the twelve floors possessing some authority, major decisions still require approval from higher-ups at the university.

The student council president is essentially the school's mouthpiece.

Just like this situation now...

Bai Ze leaned back and looked at Yun Shu, "The number of people needed does need to be discussed, but the leader should be decided without much thought. In the entire Yujing Martial Arts University, who else but Senior Yun Shu is qualified to lead?"

“That’s right, that’s right, we need to choose someone to take the lead, and I will definitely cast my sacred vote for Senior Yun Shu.” Luo Shui chimed in.

Yun Shu remained silent, but a shadow of gloom quietly appeared in his eyes.

The backlash came.

Yun Shu seized the opportunity and directly dealt a ruthless blow to Bai Ze. Qu Mingfeng from Yanjing Martial Arts University even arranged for people to use firearms and drones for reconnaissance and ambush. This had already crossed the line, and naturally, he had to bear the subsequent backlash.

Originally, as long as Bai Ze died, or even if Mu Yaoguang was dragged into the fray, any price would be acceptable.

Bai Ze is dead; the dead have no value.

Furthermore, Yun Shu had his reasons for taking action; he was dealing with the cultists who attacked Shen Feilian at Yanjing Martial Arts University, but he simply couldn't stop himself.

Fists and feet have no eyes, and swords and knives have even fewer eyes.

The reasons are plausible, and there's a background to it; the next step is how to mediate.

As long as Bai Ze dies, then we've made a profit.

Conversely, if Bai Ze hadn't died, then it would have been a loss.

Since you've crossed the line, you have to pay the price.

Now, the backlash has begun.

Whether exploring the metaverse is dangerous or not is hard to say, but Yun Shu is confident that she can overcome it. The problem is that the exploration may take too long.

If he leaves Yujing Martial Arts University for an extended period, it's hard to say whether things will remain the same when he returns.

"If the school needs me to take charge of an exploration project, I will not refuse," Yun Shu said in a deep voice.

At times like these, no matter how unwilling you are, you cannot object.

Yun Shu had no choice but to agree.

"Therefore, this meeting is now adjourned."

Lingzhou announced, "Everyone, the next time we meet should be next semester. See you then."

After saying that, Ling Zhou's figure slowly disappeared.

The others also said goodbye one by one, either logging off or leaving the building.

Bai Ze glanced at Yun Shu one last time, then left Yujing Tower with Luo Shui.

The school's response did not disappoint Bai Ze; instead of simply siding with him, they imposed penalties.

Although the punishment was not obvious on the surface, it did hit Yun Shu where it hurt.

'Next, it's my turn.' A fierce glint flashed in Bai Ze's eyes.

You were the one who made the moves before; now it's my turn to press forward step by step.
