Chapter 420
Two girls with straight black hair were happily discussing the influential figure on the shady path of the Columbia campus .
"People say that he is the top student of the Finance Department . I heard that he’s on a full scholarship . . . "
"He is handsome, hard-working and capable at making money . He gave part-time jobs to plenty of seniors . . . "
The loudspeakers beside Zhang were broadcasting Qin Guan’s achievements . Suddenly, Zhang shouted at his assistant, who was carrying a pile of posters and leaflets .
"What are you doing here? Be smart! Be positive! Distribute the material!"
The girl, who was wearing black-framed glasses, got scared . She pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry .
"Okay, okay . Stop! Go to the meeting room and check our budget . I have to invest more!"
"But we do not have much money left . . . " she said hesitantly .
"Shut up, Liu Tianxia! Do something about the budget! You are in the Accounting Department, aren’t you? You have an auditing certificate, right? I need an extra 500 dollars for my campaign! Go!"
Liu ran to the meeting room with tears in her eyes . She was afraid that she might start crying in public . A small robot disappeared in the thickets silently .
Inexplicably, Qin Guan found himself the focus of the whole campus . Everyone he passed by greeted him .
"Hey, miracle boy! I support you!"
"I’ll vote for you, Qin Guan!"
"Looking forward to your election speech!"
Qin Guan felt like a monkey in the zoo, surrounded by onlookers . It was stranger than in China .
He saw people playing a soccer game on the field between the two libraries . The cheerleaders were waving boards with the phrase "Qin Guan will win" .
Would the tradition of the cheering team ever change? Those people would cheer for anyone who paid them .
Hovering above the campus was a sea of balloons . Occasionally, a poor balloon would break away from its owner and drift in the air before it exploded .
Qin Guan saw his face get smashed . That hurt! Dear Xu, how much have you prepared for my campaign? It looks like a wedding ceremony!
Qin Guan saw Xu standing by the cars . The two of them fought playfully . Meanwhile, Zhang's car remained silent .
In the meeting room, Zhang's face was as dark as the burned bottom of a pan . As he looked at Liu, he tried his best to suppress his rage .
"For the last time, Tianxia, help me! You are good at accounting . I only need a little help . The election is in two days . We are working hard for a better future, aren’t we?"
"I know what you are thinking about . You think that without a bright future I will turn you away . I swear that if I am elected chairman, I will reciprocate your true feelings . Help me, Tianxia!"
The girl was not stupid . She knew that the man was lying . If he really liked her, he would have confessed his feelings earlier . They had known each other for a long time after all .
"I want to think it over . . . " She lowered her head, her face hidden behind her long hair . Zhang was hell-bent on winning . . .
Outside the window, a flying object that resembled a UFO was on its way home .
The day of the election came fast . The auditorium was crowded . It was an unprecedentedly gigantic election . During the previous elections, only a few internal members had voted for the chairman . Attracted by Zhang Dekai and Qin Guan’s candidacies, most Chinese students had shown interest in the activity .
Zhang was excited about the big occasion . The more people voted, the more significant the role of the chairman would be for the University of Columbia, as well as many major companies .
The hostess was a new member of the union . She was a pretty girl in a cute white dress . She stared at Zhang with blinking eyes and smiled at him from time to time .
Liu Tianxia watched them with a poker face . She left without a word .
"Okay, I know . Don't push me . It’s only a speech . Why do I have to dress like this?"
Qin Guan was looking down at his formal outfit . He looked as if he was attending a grand banquet .
Xu smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit . He patted Qin Guan on the shoulder and shouted, "Come on, my friend! I’ll always be by your side!"
The hostess invited the first candidate to deliver his speech . Qin Guan mounted the stage leisurely .
He knocked on the microphone gently and stood straight, smiling at the audience .
He was like a wintersweet with red petals and yellow pistils bursting into bloom on its skinny branches . He was like an orchid with a nice smell amid ancient ruins . He was like a lonely bamboo tree on a remote mountain or withered golden asters in a forbidden city .
