Chapter 430: I Plan to Compete With You For the Same Position

Zi Yi coldly looked at the female student standing before her. “What’s the matter?”

The female student stared at her and asked, “What position will you run for in the Student Union?”

All of them looked at her in slight surprise.

Zi Yi was also a little surprised and she asked instead of answering, “This seems to have nothing to do with you?”

“How does it not have anything to do with me?” The female student laughed. Her laughter was very confident and provocative. “Because I intend to compete with you for the same position.”

“You’re here to provoke me?”

“You can think of it in that way.”

Chen Yuying put her hands on the table and leaned down as she looked into her eyes.

“Aren’t you very outstanding? I like competing with outstanding people. My name is Chen Yuying, I’m a sophomore in the Department of Economics and Management. I was awarded the first-class scholarship in my freshman year and have participated in all sorts of competitions of different scales. I think I am qualified to run for several of the officer positions in the Student Union.

Also… you’re too high-profile. To the extent that I very much wish to let you have a taste of experiencing a setback, and let you know that there are hidden tigers all around M.Uni. You’re not the best.”

Zi Yi looked at Chen Yuying’s arrogant yet firm gaze. She did not get angry and instead, she calmly nodded. “What you said is right. I recommend you to run for the External Relations Department.”

“You are running for the External Relations officer?” Chen Yuying subconsciously asked.

Zi Yi pursed her lips and did not answer her question.

Chen Yuying felt that she must be applying for the External Relations officer position.

She then stood up straight and said confidently, “Then listen up, we’ll soon be competitors.”

She left after having said that.

As soon as Chen Yuying left, the crowd started to discuss in low voices.

“I’ve heard that the department flower of the Economics Department is very straightforward and has a temper. I didn’t expect her to be so straightforward though?”

“She actually came and issued Zi Yi a challenge. Say, who do you think will be elected as the External Relations officer?”

“Who should I choose when the time comes?”

…

Li Xia who came back from getting the food subconsciously asked in a low voice, “Zi Yi, didn’t you say you would only run for the position of President?”

“Shhh.” Zi Yi placed a finger on her lips and told her not to mention this anymore.

She then asked, “Have I ever said that I will be running for the External Relations officer position?”

Li Xia: “…”

You didn’t say anything! So… Zi Yi casually said that to chase Chen Yuying away?

The news of Zi Yi running for the External Relations officer position soon spread through M.Uni’s school forum.

Inside the Student Union’s President office.

The Officer of the External Relations Department, Tang Yue swiped his phone as he clicked his tongue. “President, look at the forum. It’s pretty lively on here right now.”

Nangong Yu was currently replying to an email from a university abroad. He did not even bother lifting up his head as he asked, “What happened?”

Tang Yue said with a boastful tone, “Among the positions of the four officers who are stepping down, do you know which position is currently the most popular?”

Nangong Yu was thinking to himself, “Based on your tone of voice, is there still a need for me to guess?”

“The External Relations Department.”

“Haha… President, your guess is very accurate. It’s indeed the External Relations Department.”

“What happened?”

He had thought that the Learning Department ought to be the most popular, as it had been in the past few years.

“The genius of the Department of Economics and Management, Chen Yuying, went to the Chinese Department canteen in the afternoon and questioned Zi Yi face to face about what position she would be running for. Zi Yi mentioned the External Relations Department and Chen Yuying issued a challenge.”

Nangong Yu was momentarily stunned at his words, before he smiled and shook his head.

“President, what’s with that reaction of yours? You don’t believe it?”

Nangong Yu said with certainty, “Zi Yi will only run for the President position. She should have casually mentioned a position, so as to chase Chen Yuying away.”

“Ah?!” Tang Yue widened his mouth and only recovered his senses after a long time had passed. He felt that he had heard the most fantastic tale in the world. “Zi Yi is actually thinking of running for the Student Union’s President? She is very ambitious!”

Nangong Yu glanced at him and remained silent.

However, Tang Yue stood up due to excitement and walked over to his table. “Boss, how do you know that Zi Yi is intending to run for the position of President? You’re only in your junior year and you didn’t exactly say you’re going to give away your position yet.”

Nangong Yu stopped the work he was doing and leaned against the chair. He looked at the excited Tang Yue and said, “As long as Zi Yi has the capability, even if I hadn’t said I will be stepping down, she is still able to issue me a challenge.”

In fact, he was rather looking forward to Zi Yi issuing him a challenge.

Even though the exact words she said before were that she would only run for the President position if she were to enter the Student Union.

Tang Yue shook his head. “Tsk tsk, how does that saying go? Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This Zi Yi isn’t even a newborn calf. She’s simply overconfident and arrogant to no end.”

Nangong Yu looked at him and asked, “You think that she doesn’t have the capabilities?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Disregarding her results, she has only won a single International Painting and Calligraphy Competition. There’s simply no way of comparison to you. What does she have to compete with against you?”

Nangong Yu tilted his head and thought for a while but did not say anything else.

However, Tang Yue sat on the table and asked, “Boss, weren’t you selected as a volunteer to receive foreign guests? When are you going? After that event, you’ll be plated with another layer of gold and by that time, all the more so that Zi Yi will not be able to catch up to you.”

“Next week.”

Nangong Yu started to chase him away after that. “You can leave now. Since you’re stepping down, you should do your job well before you go.”

Tang Yue stood up and said, “Alright then.”

After the door of the room was closed, Nangong Yu sat there and pondered for a while, before he continued replying to the emails.

…

After lunch, Zi Yi went to meet with Dou Xiaoyong.

Dou Xiaoyong drove Zi Yi to the national research lab.

The research lab was located in the northern suburb of the capital and occupied an area of tens of thousands of acres. It has the most advanced buildings, the tightest defense system and it is under the management of the military. It was impossible for most people to even come close to this place.

When Dou Xiaoyong drove the car to the main entrance, he first showed his work permit before the both of them then alighted and were inspected, before they were allowed to enter.

After entering, Dou Xiaoyong said to Zi Yi, “There are many different areas here and we are headed to the mechanical robot R&D center. When the time comes, don’t wander about or look around carelessly. There are many things in this area that need to be kept confidential.”

“Alright.”

The car continued driving for almost twenty minutes before it stopped at a particularly high-end building.

The moment the car stopped, two guards walked over to them.

Dou Xiaoyong and Zi Yi alighted and one of the guards drove the car away, while the other guard led them towards the gate.

Dou Xiaoyong said to Zi Yi, “I’ll first bring you to meet some of my colleagues. They should be in the manufacturing room right now.”

When the three of them entered the hall, the guard stopped and did not follow.

Dou Xiaoyong and Zi Yi continued heading forward and walked through several doors, where they needed to verify their identities, before they managed to enter a particularly large manufacturing room.

There were many high-end robots being assembled and developed, most of which were not available on the market..
