Chapter 139

Song Ning and Zhao Yi finally arrived at the department’s student union meeting room before the meeting started.

“Zhao Yi, you’ve finally arrived!”

A man with an impressive demeanor quickly greeted Zhao Yi, indicating that he had reserved a seat for her. Right next to him was none other than Zheng Yuyang, the student union president who had taken the initiative to invite Zhao Yi to play the second female lead.

When Zheng Yuyang saw Song Ning accompanying Zhao Yi, his expression changed, but he quickly composed himself and said with a smile:

“This must be… Song Ning, right? I didn’t expect you to come, and I didn’t even arrange a seat for you… I’m so sorry!”

Although that’s what he said, there wasn’t a trace of apology on his face.

Song Ning pointed to the empty seat on the other side of Zheng Yuyang and asked:

“There are still seats available, aren’t there? You can sit here, which will save a seat for the two of us.”

The student council president’s face stiffened. He hadn’t expected Song Ning to say such a thing. The position he was pointing to was clearly the most prominent and central position in the conference room, which had always been his throne. How dare Song Ning, whom he considered a loser, lay his hands on it?

Zheng Yuyang, who had always maintained a humble and gentlemanly demeanor, almost lost his composure. The girl he had been drooling over somehow became his girlfriend.

This person even had the audacity to want to sit in his seat, how could he not be furious?

Forcibly suppressing his anger, he did his best to appear approachable and said:

“Student, this seat is reserved for our leading lady, Rao Xiaoxiao. She has a busy schedule and will arrive later.”

Then he pointed to a corner of the conference room, a spot with no table but only a chair—clearly a seating area for observers—and said:

“There are still seats there. If you’re not a student, you can sit there and listen in!”

“Please take your seats quickly. Let’s not waste everyone’s time and get started!”

He subtly tried to suppress Song Ning with his words, even accusing him of wasting everyone’s time. Song Ning didn’t give him a chance to manipulate everyone into opposing him and went straight to the audience seats.

Seeing that her boyfriend had no seat, Zhao Yi ignored Zheng Yuyang’s attempts to persuade her to stay and followed him over.

The second female lead, personally chosen by Zheng Yuyang, not only showed him no respect but also sat in the audience seat. Even with his shrewdness, he frowned and stared intently at Song Ning, who looked disdainful.

“Ahem… Chairman, how about we stop waiting for Rao Xiaoxiao and start the meeting first?!”

The speaker was one of Zheng Yuyang’s capable lieutenants, who cleverly changed the awkward situation to “waiting for Rao Xiaoxiao,” giving Zheng Yuyang a way out. It has to be said that his adaptability was first-rate.

“Alright…we won’t wait any longer, let’s start the meeting!”

Zheng Yuyang hesitated for a moment, then took a step back, using the opportunity offered by his subordinate. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and spoke loudly again:

“Those sitting here today are the core members of the production team. You will all inevitably shoulder more responsibility and your efforts will not be in vain!”

As Zheng Yuyang watched the enthusiastic applause from the people present, he couldn’t help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart. He had endured what ordinary people could not, and his magnanimity had grown a bit.

The timely intervention of his subordinates was a result of his effective training.

What made him even more proud was that he first used the word “core” to win over the eleven or twelve people present, then used the word “responsibility” to warn them not to be careless, and finally gave them a sweet date. The art of managing people is nothing more than this, isn’t it?

Zheng Yuyang pressed his hands down slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet; he was about to continue speaking.

“Let me first announce the division of labor: Liu Yan will be in charge of finance, and Yang Jing will be in charge of procurement!”

These two girls were his most trusted “own people,” especially Liu Yan. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she had fair skin and a pair of full breasts that Zheng Yuyang couldn’t get enough of.

Yang Jing is a freshman this year. She was not originally qualified to join the department’s student union, but Zheng Yuyang arranged for her to become a member.

So this slender, cute-looking girl, whose clothes weren’t fashionable, often referred to herself as Zheng Yuyang’s “potential girlfriend” and was very hostile to the girls around Zheng Yuyang. Liu Yan was the one she disliked the most, always flaunting her breasts next to her “potential boyfriend”.

This was also a deliberate arrangement by Zheng Yuyang, to have two people with conflicts between them take on the roles of finance and procurement.

He then assigned roles to several people, including cameramen, logistics staff, and several main characters, but he forgot to mention the second female lead he had promised Zhao Yi.

Zheng Yuyang was certainly not going back on his word, because if he did, he probably wouldn’t have a chance to poach her. He wanted to let things cool down and stretch things out, to highlight the value of his bargaining chips, and perhaps even cause some unpleasantness between Zhao Yi and Song Ning.

Just then, the conference room door suddenly opened, and a graceful figure stood in the light streaming in from outside. Rao Xiaoxiao had finally arrived late.

Zheng Yuyang was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to greet him, saying with an excited and happy expression:

“They’ve finally arrived, our leading lady!!”

After Song Ning clearly saw the person’s appearance, only one question remained in her mind:

“How could it be her??”
