I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

However, even if we disregard this as a minor event, it seems that the joint school festival organized by the two schools should be considered the most crucial task of the student council.

"Then you should focus on the [Joint School Festival] activities."

Li Xuan glanced at Yukino and gave her a reminder.

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why is that?"

"Because their attention has also been turned to the Joint School Festival."

Li Xuan replied.

"The so-called election means you need to know how to perform and who you're performing for. This is very important. Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain. Your focus should be on helping to organize the joint school festival. Right now, both students and teachers are probably focusing most of their attention on joint activities with other schools. You should work under the spotlight, which will help you increase your votes."

Li Xuan further explained this principle in detail.

Yukino immediately realized what was going on after being reminded like that.

Although it did sound hypocritical and out of character for her, she couldn't deny that he was right about that.

In terms of individual abilities, Yukino certainly possesses unparalleled skills, but she is also well aware of her significant shortcomings in interpersonal communication and group activities...

However, when the topic turned to groups, she recalled the scene in the activity room when she was running for student council president, and the two people she was close to denied her actions...

Don't they understand either?

Yukino silently asked herself this question.

At this moment, Yukino is indeed in a very vulnerable and isolated situation.

At this critical moment, there was another person who, by bypassing the Service Department and many other issues, stood on her side.

My wavering heart began to stabilize.

In particular, she now has her own ideas, and she does lack experience.

At that moment, she also wanted to know what the construction worker in front of her was hiding from her...

"Why are you so familiar with this?"

Yukino remained silent for a long time before asking.

When Li Xuan was asked this question, he already knew that Yukino would ask it. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly gave an ambiguous answer: "Because of my previous work, I have been doing planning-type work."

The corridor was deserted and unusually quiet. Yukino stood there expressionless for a long time. No one knew what this intelligent girl was thinking as she stared at Li Xuan. But in the end, she closed her eyes, as if she had given in.

With her flowing black hair, Yukino said, "I will discuss some consultation matters with you later."

~·~·~·~·~·~·~

While assisting the student council in storing materials in the warehouse building, Li Xuan and Yukino reached a tacit understanding.

Yukino, unusually, agreed to the proposal.

Li Xuan sat on a chair on the first floor outside the warehouse building, taking a short rest.

Finally, I have the opportunity to properly settle all the favors owed to the Second Miss.

After confirming that the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family truly intended to run for student council president, Li Xuan decided to assist her in the school election. His acquaintance with the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family was truly a "fateful entanglement"—he almost kidnapped her due to gang pressure, indirectly causing losses to her family, and she misunderstood him as her suitor, which triggered her sympathy, leading her to give him a lunchbox and even help him find a job...

Li Xuan deeply understood that a lie is ultimately a lie, and a source of trouble.

The best solution is to repay the favor and then sever all ties; then all problems will be solved.

—【You gangsters!】

—【Those who keep doing bad things will eventually go to hell.】

—【How can you do such things without batting an eye? Don't you feel ashamed?】

In Li Xuan's mind, the curses and accusations from his neighbors, men, women, and children echoed deep within his soul.

The sky cleared up and then became cloudy, casting a gloomy shadow over Li Xuan.

The background of yakuza can never be completely erased.

Therefore, he also tries his best to avoid involving innocent people.

Just like with the incident involving Xiaochu, he was at the center of a vortex that could easily implicate those around him.

"Alright, next, let's gather a list of other student council candidates, understand their actions, and then find a way to respond..."

Li Xuan opened his laptop and specifically searched for topics related to the "student council" on their school forum to learn about some details from the students' casual conversations.

A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves and grass rustled.

Li Xuan suddenly noticed that there was a girl standing behind him.

"So, Mr. Yakuza, you know Yukinoshita-senpai from our school?"

It was a girl's calm yet monotonous voice.

"?"

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and he turned his head to look.

Amidst the swaying leaves and rustling grass, the brown-haired girl stood alone, her hair fluttering in the wind, occasionally obscuring her expressionless face.

One color...

The name quickly flashed into Li Xuan's mind.

"What’s wrong with you......"

Li Xuan asked in surprise.

"...I'm just curious, why would a gangster who's always been chasing me around be so willing to help another girl? It's completely different from what we agreed on, right? Doesn't he think it's bullying?"

Isshiki lowered his head slightly, a not-so-happy smile on his lips, and asked.

Can a girl's smile sometimes be this terrifying...?

Li Xuan remained silent for a while. He somewhat understood that Isshiki seemed to have overheard the verbal agreement he and Yukinoshita had reached in the warehouse, but he didn't understand why Isshiki's anger was so intense...

unfair.

That's very unfair.

This feeling lingered in the girl's heart.

"It's really unfortunate, senpai. Me? I'm also one of the candidates for student council president. At first, I really thought this position was troublesome and didn't offer any benefits, but after overhearing someone in the warehouse sounding like they had it in the bag, I suddenly had the idea that I couldn't let that person's scheme succeed. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I'm actually quite interested in the position of president."

With a bitter smile, Isshiki said, "So, I don't want to lose either, senpai."

She wrapped herself up tightly in a single-colored feather, her overly long sleeves slightly clenched, and her unwilling smile held a dissatisfaction she had never experienced before.

The student council election at Soubu High School, which was initially met with little interest, took on an unusual air due to various motivations and experiences between the two candidates...

Chapter 046 A Sleepless Night (Second Update)

It was two o'clock in the morning, and the night was deep and quiet.

A luxury apartment building in Chiba Prefecture.

The sound of flushing water came from the toilet. Hina Nitta, still half asleep, came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hmm?" Suddenly, she vaguely heard a sinister laugh coming from inside the house.

Xiaochu stood in a corner of the dimly lit living room, curiously looking around at the dark house.

As a result, she saw a faint, flickering light source coming from the crack in the study door.

Curious, she pushed open the unlocked study door and peered inside.

Inside, the once tidy study was now a mess, with project proposal papers scattered everywhere. Li Xuan sat in front of the computer, typing away excitedly, occasionally letting out a triumphant laugh.

The light from the computer screen shone on Li Xuan's face, the single light highlighting his sinister and terrifying features, making his face, that of a master scheming man, appear even more sinister and terrifying.

"Ah Xuan looks so scary..."

Nitta Hina approached, looking at his face, and thought to herself.

"?"

However, Li Xuan, who was still managing the trading, suddenly noticed a figure beside him. He turned his head and saw a blank yet curious little girl's face in the dark, ink-wash-like room, looking at the screen with him.

This kind of sudden, unexpected Japanese doll coming to life is far more terrifying than any typical horror movie scene.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The lights were turned on very quickly.

Li Xuan looked at Nitta Hina in surprise and asked, "Hina, what are you doing here? Why aren't you sleeping?"

Hina Nitta said in detail, "I just went to the restroom and heard you laughing, so I came to see what you were doing here."

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised. It turned out that she had still seen the light through the crack in the door. He had turned off the light, but he hadn't expected that this little girl could still catch such a faint light source... Her eyesight was quite good.

"Ah Xuan, what are you doing?" Nitta Hinata looked at Li Xuan's computer again out of curiosity, and when she saw that his computer was covered with words, she asked.

Li Xuan glanced at his computer screen and replied, "I'm helping someone build momentum."

"Building momentum?" Nitta Hina blinked and asked.

Li Xuan's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were actually bloodshot. He explained, "For two consecutive days, I gathered the company's IT staff to post on the Soubu High School forum, supporting Yukino Yukinoshita, constantly fabricating her deeds, emphasizing her strengths, and beautifying her weaknesses... to improve the impression score of people who don't know her."

Two days ago, Li Xuan decided to help Yukino become the student council president. To this end, he carefully studied the habits of the students at Soubu High School and the current state of public opinion regarding Yukino. Yukino does have advantages; she initially had considerable support, but at the same time, many others opposed her...

It seems he offended most of the girls in the school...

However, after two days of effort from him and his subordinates, they managed to salvage a lot of popularity for Yukino Yukinoshita. In particular, after he personally chatted with the girl and flattered her, his approval rating successfully rose, giving him an absolute advantage among the three candidates. So, Li Xuan's scheme naturally succeeded, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He had also seen the other candidates' list; one was a second-year high school student named Yui Yuigahama, and the other...

Candidate name: First grader. Iroha Isshiki.

—【I don't want to lose, senior gangster.】

Li Xuan recalled the smile on Yi Se Yu's face when her eyes were covered by her hair... He didn't understand why, but he still felt very depressed about it.
