Chapter 557

Zhao Youyue could not help but feel a tinge of disappointment . It was already such a crucial point, and he was still talking about literature . She was not forming a society for fun - she had a motive, and that was to slip into the student council, earn the t.i.tle of Deputy Minister, then gain the rights to vote in the Student Council president voting . It was all part of her plan to step into a higher realm . Once she becomes the Student Council President, she would gain the rights and power to do as she wished .

No matter what, Han Leng was still her old cla.s.smate . He did not seem overtly keen on getting close to her, but at the very least, he was still loyal to her faction, which would have to suffice . With Han Leng's talent, becoming the Deputy Head of the Advertising Department would not be too far-fetched an idea . He was almost unbeatable when it came to the pen . He would boost their standing on no time at all .

Han Leng's reputation alone would be enough to qualify for a dedicated column in the school magazine . Who cares about the content when sales would rocket up with a casual slide across the paper with his pen and a few hundred words .

Zhao Youyue was already almost treating herself as the Student Council President . She was working to surround herself with her trusted cohorts and lieutenants . She was convinced that such a mindset would constant remind herself of her l.u.s.t for that spot . An instance of complacency might just be enough to make her forget her goals .

Considering the positions that Lady Zhao had once chaired or was still chairing, even the top inst.i.tute's Student Council President position would not matter much to her . It was nothing compared to her moviemaking studio, it was nothing to what her ”Two Dimensional Gate” could ever provide . She may not yet have access to certain resources as she had yet to obtain a governess' character card, but that was just a matter of time .

Zhao Youyue was not born a genius . Even if she gave her maximum effort, she would not have amounted to much . Without her ”Two Dimensional Gate,” she might have truly ended up as a boring old Milady throughout her entire life .

Of course, others may think that being a Milady was enough of an achievement, but Zhao Youyue was a prideful one . She wanted to stand with her own two legs, minus her connections . Those underhanded methods were too shameful . She intended to continue working with her own strength and prove her worth .

The past Zhao Youyue might have lacked the initiative and means of doing so . Her helplessness only contributed to her past self's solitary coldness . As her proficiency over the ”Two Dimensional Gate” grew, her very being was reformed, remolded . Now provided with the means, she could begin her conquest and claim her spot above others .

Zhao Youyue had the mind of a monarch, but she was no tyrant . She was somewhat in the same vein as a Yin King [1] . She used her calm, warm voice to instill an inexplicable sense of compliance and obedience to her subjects . They would obey without a question, and the thought of hesitating would not even cross their minds .

Zhao Youyue had moved on to her new stage . The play was just beginning . She led Han Leng to the lone corner on the 3rd floor of a certain library . Maybe it was due to the school opening just recently, or maybe because it was noon . Either way, the library was almost completely empty .

When exam periods draw closer, that library would turn into a warzone . When it came to the library of Jiangnan University, lines might spill to the outside entrance . At that time, phrases like ”Have you seen the rising sun at Jiangnan University?” would be irrelevant, but that was how hardworking students or crammers lived .

Zhao Youyue leaned back against a bookshelf, folding her arms across her chest . She gazed at Han Leng, but did not immediately start speaking . The tense silence only made her seem more authoritative than ever .

Han Leng had always been extremely uncomfortable whenever he got alone with Lady Zhao . The empty library left him no one else to turn to, no distractions to relief his mind . An empty, cold, silent library may seem romantic to some, but he made no move on her . It did not make him the gentleman, but rather, a well-behaved primary school student .

A braver man might just go for a kabe-don [2] . It sure sounds exciting to kabe-don a Milady .
