A world where love reigns supreme? This is truly chaotic!

"He was kicked out of the student council."

"Hey! Get out of my sight right now!" Jiang Xintong didn't want to see Han Junche for another second. Being kicked out of the group was even more humiliating than failing to be elected to the student council! She formed her own group to compete with the student council! Recruiting people the student council didn't want made her look inferior to Yan Xingmeng, didn't it? Perhaps Han Junche's family was indeed well-off, but Jiang Xintong was only doing it for the sake of pride. If he made her lose face right from the start, then she was really in a difficult position!

Jiang Xintong raised her index finger and pointed to the side. In her eyes, Han Junche was no different from anyone else on the roadside.

Han Junche was also completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events. The discussions around him resumed, all speculating about his expulsion from the student council. The school image he had worked so hard to build had been a nightmare for him these past few weeks. He had hoped to gain momentum again by taking a break and leveraging Jiang Xintong's group, but it turned out that they didn't want him at all...

Han Junche glanced around frequently, and seeing the growing crowd, he tried to remain calm, smiling as he asked, "Didn't you, Miss Jiang, say you wanted to form a new group that could rival the student council? So I..."

"Warm-hearted, it seems this is the kind of person we have at this school. It's really disappointing." Jiang Xintong completely ignored Han Junche, leaned back on the sofa, turned her head to look at Nuanxin, and said helplessly.

"If I had known it would be like this, I would have transferred someone from my previous school."

Oh? There can be experts?

"Is there another way, boss? Let's implement it right away!" Chen Nuanxin responded enthusiastically.

Han Junche's expression was not good at this moment. Hearing that not only Jiang Xintong ignored him, but even the little girl next to him was not paying attention to him, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Chen Nuanxin noticed this look, immediately narrowed her eyes, leaned back, and her gaze became somewhat disdainful.

"Hey! Who gave you permission to look at my group members like that? Get the hell away from me right now!" Jiang Xintong slowly stood up, lowered her voice, and spoke such harsh words for the first time. In this school, she was only defending Chen Nuanxin.

The crowd gasped. Han Junche knew all too well the vast gap between himself and the Jiang family, so why was the other party so angry? Han Junche couldn't utter another word. With a gloomy face, he turned and left the encirclement.

"Boss!" Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin complimented in unison. Guangchang Chen himself did not expect that Jiang Xintong's protectiveness was even more serious than Yan Xingmeng's. That's good. Working under a boss like this gives you motivation.

Guangchang Chen was in high spirits. He collected all the membership application forms on the table. It was incredible that an excellent boss could motivate an employee to work proactively. Such leadership!

Under such adoring gazes, Jiang Xintong raised her head proudly, then pointed at Cao Ruoyu, who hadn't spoken until now, and said, "Then you'd better hurry up and give it to me..."

This time, it was Guang Guangchen who interrupted Jiang Xintong. Guang Guangchen pressed down on Jiang Xintong's wrist, which was about to point at the other person's left hand. Jiang Xintong turned her head in confusion, and Guang Guangchen responded with a faint smile and said, "Boss, this person hasn't said a word, so let's just let it go."

"Oh, oh... alright then, you can go. My group won't recruit students who didn't make it into the student council." Jiang Xintong probably realized she had gotten a little carried away, so she coughed lightly and softened her tone.

Cao Ruoyu trembled, her gaze towards Guang Yuchen filled with complex emotions. Then, she simply bowed slightly to the two of them and left without looking back.

After this little incident, the election continued. Han Junche was now unwanted by both the student council and Jiang Xintong, causing the previously subdued public opinion to erupt once more. Guang Guangchen probably wouldn't see him again this time, right? Guang Guangchen had only heard from others that Han Junche usually spoke softly and gently, but every time Guang Guangchen met him, the other man was on the verge of breaking down. Guang Guangchen was already starting to want to call him "Bro on the Verge"...

Such a large-scale event was obviously put on display for the student council. The election lasted for several hours, and the school even suspended classes because of it, which is enough to show the impact of this event.

If Jiang Xintong can really transfer someone from her previous school, that would be amazing. This is the top tier in this school. It's normal that she doesn't want it. Just like the difference between a failed member of the Ten Blades and a member of the Ten Blades is not even a little bit.

Guang Chen left to use the restroom midway through the journey. The crowd was almost entirely concentrated in the main square, and there were hardly any people to be seen under the teaching building. After he finished using the restroom, he ran into Cao Ruoyu as soon as he came out.

So, how did I end up running into you again?

"Fan, Fan Chen, it's been a long time." Cao Ruoyu was no longer the arrogant and domineering person she used to be. It wasn't like she had been whitewashed; it was more like she had been touched by Nangong Wenya.

Of course, Guang Guangchen would not admit that she had cleared her name. After all, she had hurt so many people. If the other party came this time still with the intention of seeking her forgiveness, then Guang Guangchen would definitely not accept the apology.

"Well, long time no see."

It was a normal conversation.

Cao Ruoyu's eyes lit up with joy, and she nervously clenched her hands, saying, "I... I saw your monthly exam ranking, and you've improved again. Congratulations!"

Really? A top ten student congratulating a student in the top 150? Isn't that a bit like Versailles?

"Thank you," Guangchang said casually.

Cao Ruoyu pursed her lips, then took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to thank you for helping me out of that situation. It was Han Junche who dragged me there... This might sound like a useless explanation to you... I just wanted to thank you. Also, I'm sure I'll get first place in the grade next year!"

At this point, Cao Ruoyu displayed an unprecedented determination. Guang Chen then remembered that Cao Ruoyu was just an ordinary girl from a very ordinary family. When she ranked first in her grade, no one could deny her hard work. However, she was later influenced by the various people and things around her, which shaped her original values. Since losing the student council election, she was no longer able to maintain her social circle like Han Junche, who could rely on his excellent family background. She had fallen to rock bottom. She either had to completely rot away or repent and start anew. The current Cao Ruoyu seemed... to be the one who would succeed.

"Yeah, good luck, but don't..."

“I’m not trying to meet your expectations, just like you said in the past… I just want to tell you this. I’m not trying to use a promise to seek a chance to change myself in other people’s eyes. The harm I’ve done to others is irreparable, so this time, I will respond to my own expectations!” Cao Ruoyu said seriously.

This left Guangchang somewhat stunned, even quite surprised. He had always thought that if this world of love above all else was truly a chaotic idol drama, then some plot NPCs would often disappear after the story ended, just like Han Junche, who kept lowering his own standards. But Cao Ruoyu in front of him had taken a completely different path from Han Junche. Her thoughts had truly changed because of this, and after self-reflection, she had firmly established her own path. Perhaps Guangchang and she would no longer be friends, and they might never meet again, but Cao Ruoyu's future life would definitely be rich and colorful, far beyond what a simple word like "brief" in a book could represent.

"Really? Good luck." Guang Chen's attitude remained indifferent, but even so, the two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

On the way back to the main square, Guangchang felt that he had done a good thing. This reunion with Cao Ruoyu... should be like an epilogue in many stories.

Anyway, keep going...

……

With the election nearing its end, looking at the thick stack of membership application forms, one can only say that the Jiang family's influence is immense. Jiang Xintong seemed quite proud of this thick stack, as it was the key to defeating the student council and Yan Xingmeng!

However, Guang Chen estimated that Jiang Xintong would be disappointed. There was a high probability that only a few ordinary members would be selected. The top students in the grade had already been snapped up by the student council, and she didn't care about the second-place students or those below. So, she decided to just find someone who was first in a single subject or a single special course. As long as there were enough titles, anyone could be number one!

As Guang Chen watched as someone came to clean up the scene, he sighed about how good it was to be rich. Just then, a voice called his name from a distance and approached. He turned around and saw that it was Chu Ling. He greeted her in a friendly manner.

"Brother Guang, is it finally over? What a huge commotion, it scared me to death..." As the student council representative for attendance this week, Chu Ling was in charge of all the maintenance work today. Only the three newly recruited core members were responsible for managing the ordinary members every week, while the three regular members were basically only responsible for issuing instructions.

"It's finished. It should be cleaned up in a little while."

"Guang Chen, who is this little dwarf?" Jiang Xintong, who was behind them, noticed this and asked.

Huh? You're short yourself, why are you calling others short?

"Chu Ling, a core member of the current student council." Chen Nuanxin appeared silently, gave an explanation, and then disappeared just as quietly.

Hey, sweetheart, you've got some serious ideas!

Jiang Xintong was startled upon hearing this. She widened her eyes, looked at Guang Yuchen, and said, "How come you know everyone?"

Hearing this, Guang Chen felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't touch his nose. He just glanced to the side, coughed lightly, and replied, "Just some insignificant social skills."

61. Does she also like Hiro?

Ha... Jiang Xintong's right eyebrow trembled. In fact, in the past few days, through her simple understanding, she did feel that Guangchang was a bit strange, no, it should be said that he was peculiar. To say that he was like a needle bag was not as good as saying that he was like a hedgehog. He was very kind when he was kind, but he was really sharp when he was sharp.

And... he's also a total money-grubber.

"Boss, is that all? Hey boss, wanna go out for a meal tonight?" Chen Nuanxin glanced at Jiang Xintong, then turned to Guangchang. Work is work, and life is life. After work, you need to eat something to relieve the stress.

"I'll treat you tonight," Jiang Xintong interrupted, speaking arrogantly.

Well, saying the most comforting things in a stubborn tone, Chen Nuanxin was practically bowing down to Jiang Xintong when she heard that the boss was treating.

"However, let's call Qianwen along too, and this little dwarf as well." Jiang Xintong pointed to Chu Ling, her meaning was clear: both of them were core members of the current student council, and dismantling them from within was a good option in addition to external elections.

When Chu Ling heard that she was to be included as well, she waved her hands repeatedly, tugged at Guang Chen's sleeve, and said aggrievedly, "But I made plans to go home with my girlfriend..."

Look at you, suffering like that.

"Then call your girlfriend along too!"

"Alright, alright, that's enough, Chu Ling. You should go back now. See you next time," Guang Changchen interrupted, nudging Chu Ling's back. Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but immediately turned and ran, disappearing in a few seconds. Jiang Xintong frowned, about to question him, but Guang Changchen spoke first, "Dealing with the student council can be done slowly. You don't like forcing someone, right?"

"..." It was the same situation again. Chen Nuanxin was caught in the middle and was extremely nervous watching the two of them. She was afraid that Jiang Xintong would suddenly get angry and make trouble. But a few seconds later, although Jiang Xintong's eyes still had a hint of reproach, she still sighed and said, "Alright, I do know that being forced is not a good feeling. I was in a hurry. I'm sorry, let's call Qianwen over."

Apologize?

Chen Nuanxin was shocked and started looking back and forth between the two of them much faster. Jiang Xintong left first to return to the classroom, and after watching her walk away, Chen Nuanxin slowly moved to her boss's side and whispered, "Boss! What's going on? Jiang Xintong actually apologized to you? And she didn't seem to blame you at all for letting Chu Ling go. That's so strange."

Guangchang shook his head and replied, "I don't find it strange at all. You've noticed that Jiang Xintong is a good person, haven't you?"

"Yes! They pay more, we do less work, and they're willing to speak up for us." Chen Nuanxin answered, counting on her fingers.

“That’s right. I originally thought she would be the kind of arrogant and willful character, extremely spoiled and capricious. But after getting to know her for a few days, I found that she is very flamboyant when she should be, but she can also stop herself in time when she is about to get carried away and reflect on herself. Amazing… Is this the template for a new type of arrogant character?” Guangchang Chen said slowly, stroking his chin.

Chen Nuanxin nodded in agreement. It was naturally a great thing that the boss was an understanding person. Moreover, she was not in the early stages of growth. On the contrary, she had experienced some things and grown a bit before Guangchang and Chen met her.

not good……

At this moment, Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin both had the same thought: they originally thought that Jiang Xintong was destined to fail in her attempt to defeat Yan Xingmeng, and that the two of them were just playing house with her like children. Even Yan Xingmeng herself had told them to do so. But now it seems that Jiang Xintong is really serious, and... she really might be able to do it!

……

"Here you go, boss, a cheeseburger." Chen Nuanxin handed the hamburger in her hand to Jiang Xintong on her right.

Jiang Xintong glanced at the chaotic crowd around her. At the next table, a group of kids were yelling and playing with the new McDonald's toys. Her disdain was written all over her face. She turned her head away and said in a low voice, "Move it away! I'm not eating this kind of poor people's food!"

"It's really delicious!"

"Take it further away!"

Jiang Xintong had assumed that Chen Nuanxin, who was offering her feedback, would take them to a high-end restaurant for a simple meal. She could easily arrange a reservation with her staff, but she never expected Chen to take her to McDonald's! This kind of cheap, low-class food…

"That shouldn't be the case. Don't rich people eat hamburgers?" Chen Nuanxin stared at the cheeseburger in her hand, looking puzzled.

"That's normal, these are all basic settings." Guangchang Chen was used to it. Not to mention not eating McDonald's, even if Jiang Xintong said she wouldn't take the subway, Guangchang Chen would believe her. That's how it was always shown in the past.

“But… the boss still came with us~ You’re so kind, boss.” Chen Nuanxin said with a silly smile, facing Jiang Xintong and gradually getting closer.

Jiang Xintong couldn't stand Chen Nuanxin's enthusiasm. Her cheeks flushed, and she pushed Chen Nuanxin's shoulder to make her move away. But Chen Nuanxin was stubborn and kept closing the distance until Jiang Xintong said she would deduct money from her pay. Only then did Chen Nuanxin use one of the few times she could teleport to the other side.

Three people sat on one side, making it a bit cramped. Zhou Qianwen could clearly feel that Guang was closer to her now. She lowered her head slightly, sipping her sugar-free cola, and glanced at the Jiang family's eldest daughter across the table. She looked aggressive, but seemed to be a very righteous person. Zhou Qianwen had heard about what happened in the square. Although she was now a member of the student council and had been pulled into this strangely purposeful group by Jiang Xintong, the president didn't seem to blame her. On the contrary, she even reduced the number of times she was assigned to weekly management duties. After a quick thought, Zhou Qianwen understood the president's intention.

Oh, so the president cares about this friend too.

But none of that is the most important thing. What makes Zhou Qianwen feel most comfortable right now is... Zhou Qianwen glanced at Guang, who was bickering with Nuanxin. Now, in addition to the study group, the two have more interactions and meet more often. Zhou Qianwen is quite happy about this. This is the actual action that Guang had mentioned before, wanting to understand his private life.

As for being heartwarming... no problem! If it's heartwarming, you can rest assured!

"Here!" Chen Nuanxin suddenly raised her hand, as if waving to someone at the door. Zhou Qianwen looked up and immediately saw a girl wearing a school uniform from another school with a rather fresh and clean appearance.

"Let me introduce her. Her name is Shan Yaoning. Hmm? Does the surname sound familiar? She is actually the younger sister of Shan Yimo, the student council secretary of our school! She is currently a first-year high school student." Chen Nuanxin crossed her arms and nodded to herself.

Secretary Shan's...sister?

Jiang Xintong looked up in surprise, not expecting this girl to have such a background.

"Not bad, right? Besides Qianwen, who's your inside man, you also have family members like Yaoning helping you. Boss, your great undertaking is just around the corner." Chen Nuanxin raised her eyebrows, leaned forward, and covered her mouth with one hand, whispering.

Thinking about it, it really is true! Jiang Xintong's face lit up with joy, and she made way for the other person to sit down.

"Hello everyone, it's been a while. Warmheart, and... brother, older brother..." When she said the word "brother," Shan Yaoning clearly paused for a moment, as if recalling some memory, and became a little embarrassed.

But this still cannot escape the immense destructive power of this word!

Especially in Zhou Qianwen's heart.

elder brother?

No matter how many times Guangchang hears this title, his heart still flutters. There's no way around it; it's in his DNA. Especially since she's a naturally charming younger sister character, it's impossible for anyone to dislike her.

"Sit down first." Guangchang pointed to the seat opposite him, his expression immediately becoming complicated.

"Okay, brother, brother..." Shan Yaoning became even more shy, lowered her head, and sat down next to Jiang Xintong.

With everyone in place, Jiang Xintong continued the discussion about what kind of club the group should establish. Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin spoke actively, showing great motivation. Jiang Xintong was quite satisfied with what she heard. However, Zhou Qianwen and Shan Yaoning remained quiet, as the discussion was too intense and they were overlooked.

Zhou Qianwen would occasionally glance at the new girl, and several times she even caught her looking at Guang! She…

That look and expression seemed to be subtly pointing in a rather ominous direction...

Zhou Qianwen had been secretly watching until she looked up and the two girls' eyes met...

They stared at each other for four or five seconds before looking away.

There couldn't be anything more embarrassing than this.

Could it be that Shan Yaoning also likes Guang? This bold speculation shocked Zhou Qianwen, and she felt a chill in her heart. She had been happy to come here for a get-together, but now she felt empty.

"Sister, you've been looking at me. Is there something you want to ask me?" Shan Yaoning suddenly spoke up, which startled Zhou Qianwen. Shouldn't they have kept quiet in this situation? She actually asked out loud?

"Really?" The three people stopped their discussion and turned to look at Zhou Qianwen. Zhou Qianwen's face turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

but……

Zhou Qianwen suddenly realized something. She pointed to herself and asked, "Did you just call me 'sister'?"

"Yes."

"Then the reason you call Guang 'brother' is also..."

“Yes, because he’s my older brother,” Shan Yaoning answered honestly.

Guang Chen was a little unwilling to accept this answer. Damn it! He lightly slammed his fist on the table and said, "That's right, it's not a special title. It's just because he's the older brother that I call him 'older brother'."

hateful!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianwen immediately relaxed. "Is that so? Was I overthinking it?" Her expression clearly brightened, and as she looked at that warm, smiling face again, Zhou Qianwen smiled back with narrowed eyes.

Guangchang sighed softly, but then again... looking at the favorability rating above Shan Yaoning's head, it had actually reached 39 points. Even though the two had only met a few times, the rating was rising really fast...

62. You've crossed a line!

Chen Nuanxin was still wolfing down her food; she was at the age when she was hungriest. The group discussed for almost half an hour, ordering one thing after another. Finally, Chen Nuanxin brought another cheeseburger to Jiang Xintong and said, "Try it."

Jiang Xintong was indeed hungry. She stared at her, then took the hamburger from the other person's hand. Although McDonald's hamburgers are delicious, they tend to get smaller every year. Now, their size is probably just a regular children's hamburger. Everyone around her looked at her. Jiang Xintong frowned slightly, then opened the hamburger wrapper, brought it to her mouth, and took a small bite.
