Uneasy daily life

"Hmm?" Bai Ying raised an eyebrow and placed the onion back. "What do you mean?"

Mai Sakurajima gave a brief account.

It's common knowledge that even within the same profession, there can be a hierarchy. Among directors, those who make movies are better than those who make TV series, and those who make TV series are better than those who make variety shows. Even if this comparison is somewhat unrealistic, a popular TV series can easily crush a movie with a dismal rating.

"Ninefold" was Mai Sakurajima's first TV drama as a child star, marking her peak right from the start. The director of "Ninefold" was also a successful figure, having directed some decent films. As for his son, he turned to variety shows, news, and talk shows, and is more like a journalist than a director.

Recently, the popularity of "The Corner" has been gradually rising. Bai Ying, a person who rarely appears in the entertainment industry, has naturally become more mysterious and attracted attention, which caught the interest of the director's son.

The father, who desperately wanted his son to inherit his skills, accidentally learned of his son's plans. He immediately used his connections to nip his son's delusions in the bud.

"Every family has its own troubles, right?" Mai Sakurajima picked up an onion, took a bite, and casually put the onion with the tooth mark back into Shiro's lunchbox. "What are you thinking, Shiro-kun?"

Bai Ying picked up an onion and crunched it down: "There are two flaws in fathers: one is that they want their sons to have a better life than them, and the other is that they want their sons to be as good as them. I, Bai Ying, must support this kind of hero who raises Frostmourne to his father!"

It slipped down, and the onion with its own teeth marks was placed back down.

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes, then irritably slipped the onion into a tissue, intending to throw it away later: "You don't usually hide your identity or whereabouts much, so the director's son will probably be asking you for an interview soon... Well, I wish him good luck."

Angelina felt she probably shouldn't have come; she'd been inexplicably given a mouthful of something sour.

She looked down at the lunchbox her mother had prepared—fried meatballs, Italian sausage, boiled broccoli, and salt and pepper chicken cutlet…

How about I put a broccoli floret on Bai Ying's plate? It feels a bit strange to suddenly do something like that out of the blue, doesn't it?

A pair of wicked chopsticks reached out and snatched away a fried meatball without hesitation.

"?"

Angelina looked up and stared.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this extra 0.1 pound!"

"Everyone says this is a terrible joke that's not funny at all!"

Seeing that the meatball had already been eaten by the white figure, Angelina looked down at the white figure's lunchbox with a fierce look, determined to get a piece of meat... Where is the meat?

"Okay, okay, don't be angry with him."

Mai Sakurajima placed a piece of fried chicken from her lunchbox over to him and said with a smile, "Black Fan, have you thought about which university you want to go to?"

“I’m going to roll the dice,” Bai Ying said. “The Hero Plus is already considered a working professional, so it doesn’t matter which university he goes to, right?”

Angelina was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to the same university?"

“Of course not.” Mai Sakurajima smiled. “If Yukino wants to realize her dream, she’ll definitely follow Haruno’s path to higher education in Tokyo. As for me, any university in Japan will do. Because of the nature of my work, it’s hard for me to stay at school for long periods of time. Kazuha would probably really like to go to the same university as Haku, but she also has work and team plans, so it’s hard to say what will happen in the end… What about Angelina?”

"Me? Uh..."

Angelina ate her fried chicken with a troubled expression. She was tempted to go to the same university as Bai Ying, but she also wanted to do other things... If she had to choose, she really wanted to travel. Especially after witnessing Xiao Yun's life, that kind of life, always revolving around one place and a few people, was truly suffocating and oppressive.

"Not going to university?"

Angelina suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"Huh?" Bai Ying asked in surprise, "You're planning to go straight to a construction site and become the king of bricklaying?"

"You're the one who's laying bricks! My superpower is manipulating gravity, I can, I can, I can..."

Angelina angrily tried to prove herself, but the words stuck in her throat and wouldn't come out.

Bai Ying advised, "Given your situation, you'd be perfect for working as a special effects technician at the Scarlet Theatre, providing the best wire work assistance."

Angelina exclaimed, "I don't want to go to the Scarlet Theatre!"

Mai Sakurajima asked with a smile, "What does Angelina want to do?"

"There are quite a few things I want to do..." Angelina thought for a moment and hesitated, "I'm thinking of traveling around and seeing the world, but is it a bit strange to just think about traveling and having fun everywhere?"

“Why is that strange? You have the advantage of superpowers. Even if you can’t use them casually in front of others, you can still do some special things.” Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment and gave her some pointers. “There are many ways to make a living in modern society. For example, you can become a blogger, travel around, take pictures of tourist attractions, and write about your travel experiences and feelings… There are many ways to make a living, but traveling may not be as wonderful as you think.”

Mai Sakurajima said gently, "No matter what, you still have to go to university. If you don't even have the confidence and determination to apply for a leave of absence program, you shouldn't embark on this journey lightly."

"Oh……"

Angelina nodded, slightly bewildered.

Sigh, it must be because he saw his superior's past life, plus he suddenly remembered those things before, so he's being sentimental.

Angelina shook her head to come to her senses and was about to continue eating when she suddenly noticed that there were a few extra carrots in her lunchbox and one fried meatball was missing.

I'm going to hang you on the wall!

……

……

After lunch, Bai Ying strolled around the activity room and then took Angelina for a walk around the campus to see if they could refresh the director's rebellious son's image, while also gathering material and making preparations for the activity plan.

"Excuse me! Wait a minute, are you aware of the recent student council elections?"

"Young man, I observe that you have a full forehead, well-proportioned features, and a dignified bearing, like a dragon lurking in the abyss. Would you be willing to raise an army to contend for the throne?"

"Hey, isn't this the pretentious junior candidate?"

On the playground, Bai Ying greeted Iroha Isshiki, one of the group of first-year high school girls: "Are you actively preparing for the election?"

A pretentious junior...

Isshiki Iroha's smile twitched twice, but she pretended not to hear and introduced him to her curious friend next to her: "This is Shirokage-senpai from the second year of high school. He likes to give people nicknames and joke around. He's also planning to run for student council president."

"Huh?" A girl frowned. "This name sounds familiar..."

"The male lead in the movie we watched during summer vacation was just like our senior!"

"That's right, the actors' names are all Bai Ying..."

"Huh? How do you know that handsome male lead is named Bai Ying?"

"His name is in the credits!"

"Who watches the credits at the end of a movie?"

A group of girls, amidst their chatter, unknowingly gathered around Bai Ying.

Angelina, who was shielding the white figure in front of her, looked around, wondering if she should do some work as a celebrity bodyguard, such as blocking enthusiastic fans in front of her superiors.

"Hehehe." Bai Ying's gaze swept past the junior girls in front of her and landed on the suddenly lonely Iroha. "Pretentious junior girl, it seems that the outcome of the student council president election is already decided."

These guys are so fickle! She's just some currently popular actor, right? You can't judge a book by its cover! You have no idea how outrageous she is!

Iroha Isshiki was exasperated, but then her eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, "It seems I really can't compare to you in terms of popularity, senpai. If you become the student council president, you'll definitely do a lot of good things, right?"

"Of course!" Bai Ying immediately perked up. "As a key high school for college entrance exams, Zongwu High School has reduced the workload a bit! If I become the student council president, I will definitely introduce high-quality teaching resources from private tutoring schools outside the school and implement seven days a week, from morning till night, for learning activities! First-year students will have a weekly class test and a monthly grade-level test! We will resolutely crack down on recreational clubs and commend and encourage learning clubs. Any cultural or sports festivals that hinder learning will be canceled, or at least shortened! For students who are falling behind, I will be determined to go to hell if I don't, and provide them with a three-pronged approach of free supplementary textbooks, workbooks, and tutoring classes for exams..."

The enthusiastic sounds around them gradually quieted down.

One of the girls couldn't help but say, "Senior, when you're filming and writing scripts, you're not studying at school, are you?"

"Because I'm in the top two of the grade," Bai Ying argued, then continued, "Besides, it's work. Do you want to go out into the workforce right now? That's right! Experiencing the hardships of work early is an important part of life. When I become the student council president, I can contact external organizations to organize off-campus work activities, arranging for students to work part-time while studying. This way, students can experience the joy of labor, earn a little bit of platform profit to supplement the budget, and also build good relationships with external organizations. Win, win, win!"

After expressing their beautiful visions and campaign plans, Bai Ying and Angelina left, leaving behind a quiet but messy scene.

"Uh...it must be a joke, right?"

"Wait! I remember now, he's the leader of the Seven Eccentrics of Soubu High School!"

How strange could it be?

"During the school festival, we held a cram school event for the whole class! In front of other students' parents, we made those students take exams!"

"hiss--!"

It's not just strange, it's downright evil!

The girls became increasingly panicked as they discussed it. Their initial excitement at seeing the 'celebrity' turned into fear, and they all turned to look at Iroha Isshiki.

“Uh…” Iroha Isshiki said subtly, “Senior Shiro is a second-year high school student and has spent more than a year at school. Compared to me, a first-year junior, she should have a considerable advantage…”

"Isshiki-kun, don't give up on yourself!"

"Yes! I've heard that the current student council president, Shiro Kaijun, became student council president in his first year of high school, so his grade level isn't exactly an advantage!"

"Senior Shiro's campaign plan is unlikely to lead to his election as student council president, is it?"

"What if? He can even organize a whole class of students into a cram school activity during the cultural festival..."

"really."

……

"Bai, Baiying, if you become the student council president, are you really planning to do that?"

"The student council president's power is unlimited! Too long to read aloud, you'd better study hard, otherwise I'll have to tearfully execute my subordinates and lock you in a dark room for extra tutoring. You won't get food until you get 90 in every subject..."

"Then I'll hang you on the wall first!"

"Remember to hang a weighing scale under my feet."

"?"

The superiors and subordinates exchanged pleasantries along the way. When they returned to the activity room, they found the door open and a group of people talking inside.

"The main job of the student council president is to lead the student council, to be responsible for liaising with teachers, the school administration, and external parties, and to be responsible for communication between student organizations and students..."

"Hmm...how do I take responsibility?"

"Taking the previous cultural festival as an example, the student council, based on the weather and holidays, confirms the situation of each class with the teachers, arranges a suitable time to hold the cultural festival, and then issues a notice to hold the cultural festival. Executive committee members are selected from each class through an application process to form an executive committee. In addition to assisting each class in organizing activities, the executive committee also has the task of communicating and coordinating with the student council. For example, if some classes want to run a canteen, they need to make reservations for cooking classes, and the student council will also help contact off-campus vegetable vendors, etc."

"Huh? Why is no one in the student council serving as an executive member?"

"Because the executive committee members selected from each class are more familiar with the situation and activities of their respective classes, the executive committee is like a bridge between the student council and each class. Only by coordinating can activities be carried out in a unified manner."

"Hmm... So, how should I be a good student council president?"

"You need to think about this kind of question yourself. The student council president has the right to propose activities, but whether they can actually do it depends on their ability. You should be thinking about how to be a student council president, instead of being unrealistic about how to do a good job after becoming student council president. Chitanda, I will be running for this position seriously."

Inside the activity room, voices of patiently answering questions and curious inquiries rang out continuously.

"After wandering around for a while, I encountered two more warlords plotting to start a rebellion..."

A figure in white walked into the activity room with her hands behind her back.

"However, there can only be one emperor, and that is me."

Chapter Seven: Gravity Causes Distortion

Suddenly burst in

"Xiaobai is also running for student council president?!"

Yui Yuigahama let out a surprised exclamation.

"Of course!"

Bai Ying raised her hand and waved: "Once I become the student council president, my subordinates will succeed as the Minister of Assistance, and the Deadly Chef will succeed as the Vice Minister!"

what?

Yui Yuigahama was taken aback. If Shiro became the student council president, and he wasn't always causing trouble, wouldn't her feelings for Hachiman gradually fade away...?

"Wait!" Yui Yuigahama noticed the blind spot. "Where's Yuki?"

"What? This still isn't enough to satisfy your appetite?" Bai Ying frowned slightly, speaking in an old-fashioned tone, "Deadly Chef, giving you my subordinates isn't enough, you also want to take the hero into your fold, your greed is insatiable. I'm telling you right now, she's mine, I'm taking her away, who dares to stop me?"

Yui Yuigahama slammed her hand on the table: "You're the one who's insatiable! I meant Yuki also wants to run for student council president, but there can only be one student council president..."

"The hero will naturally become the student council president's secretary."

Bai Ying said earnestly, "Deadly Chef, after we leave, you must take good care of your subordinates and carry on our gang's ideals, making them flourish..."

Hachiman Hikigaya retorted, "Does the minister think of me as some kind of property? I'm applying for human rights and freedom."

"Is it possible..." Bai Ying patted his shoulder, "that if you're going to apply for human rights and freedom, then it means that human rights and freedom don't exist?"

"You're getting ahead of yourself," Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed. "It's not certain who will win or lose yet, and the student council doesn't have any secretaries or anything like that. Instead of running for student council president with me, you should run for vice president. You can't run for multiple positions at the same time."

"What? The student council president didn't appoint the other positions?"

"of course not."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed: "You, like Chitanda, rushed in so excitedly that you didn't even read the election rules?"

Huh? There are so many rules for elections?

Yui Yuigahama thought about it for a moment and realized that if this were the case, with Yuki and Shiro running for the same position, one of them would definitely lose...
