The next day.
On the way to the student council eting room.
In December, the cold can be felt very distinctly in Shanghai.
Gu Bai was wearing a pure white turtleneck sweater, with a khaki cashre coat draped over it for warmth. His lower half sported so casual, tight-fitting light brown trousers, and on his feet were a pair of unbranded casual shoes.
In an era where Goryeo idol dramas are hugely popular, this very Goryeo Oppa-style outfit imdiately caught the attention of many girls on the street.
As a straight guy, such a style was clearly not sothing he picked out himself.
Behind him was a lifestyle managent team dedicated to taking care of his daily needs. The team spanned various industries and almost every week, Gu Bai’s dressing and daily life were already planned out by them. It’s no exaggeration to say that for Gu Bai right now, everything is served to him on a silver platter.
Moreover, the lifestyle managent team’s salary is settled weekly, amounting to around 200,000 a month. Yet, Gu Bai didn’t care about this bit of money at all; as long as it brought him enjoynt, spending a little money was nothing to him.
As for Yi Yiyi beside him, her winter attire was completely different from sumr.
She wore a Hanfu with embroidery of a blue luan, and a fur-lined fox cape was draped over her back.
Despite the big difference in style, this outfit, like a Lolita dress, still made her an outlier in the eyes of the onlookers, attracting plenty of unusual gazes. However, Yi Yiyi had long gotten used to it, ignoring these looks as she excitedly said to Gu Bai, "Oni-Chan, you’re finally back. You have to know, while you were gone, our External Affairs Departnt was bullied miserably. Other departnts in the student council have turned us into an ATM! Whenever there’s an event that needs funding, they want our departnt to pay. The 100,000 activity fund you reserved is now only half left.
I’ve contacted you several tis, but you never replied."
Upon learning that Gu Bai returned to school, Yi Yiyi imdiately sought him out to vent her frustrations.
Due to Gu Bai’s influence, coupled with the previous vice minister being forced to resign by Gu Bai, Yi Yiyi successfully got promoted to vice minister, and during the days without Gu Bai, she was in charge of handling all matters, big and small in the departnt.
Hearing Yi Yiyi’s complaints, Gu Bai gave a slightly awkward smile. He knew about Yi Yiyi trying to reach him, but at the ti, he was having a good ti in Kyoto and later went to the mountains of Celestial Province, so he didn’t have ti to reply. Plus, as the Director of External Affairs, he was just shoved into the role and had no interest in handling these matters, so he didn’t pay it any mind.
"If they used it, they used it. Anyway, that’s what the funds of the External Affairs Departnt are for,"
Gu Bai said sowhat nonchalantly.
"That was also my thinking initially! But now they’ve gone too far; they even want us to pay for the student council office supplies. If this keeps up, our budget will be gone in no ti,"
Yi Yiyi said angrily, her delicate little face fully expressing those four words - I’m very angry.
Seeing her adorable expression, Gu Bai patted her head with its ancient-style bun, which was without a ponytail, and smiled, "Then let take care of it for you."
Upon hearing Gu Bai’s promise, Yi Yiyi smiled again, her big eyes turning into crescents.
Yi Yiyi had been waiting for this sentence from Gu Bai. With Gu Bai’s current status, a casual word from him in the student council carried more weight than the president’s. At least, in terms of the school, they would definitely side with Gu Bai.
As for Gu Bai, he hated being taken for a fool. He left a 100,000 activity fund for the External Affairs Departnt just for convenience, and these people really thought he had money to burn?
A few minutes later, the two walked side by side into the teaching building, notably warr without the cold wind blowing.
The two of them climbed the stairs to the eting room located on the fourth floor.
This eting room was originally one of the school administration’s eting rooms. However, after a new teaching building was constructed, the school administration was relocated, leaving this eting room vacant. Eventually, the school tacitly allowed it to beco the student council’s office space.
Inside the eting room at this mont, the noise was chaotic and sowhat clamorous. Most of the seating was filled, with only a few reserved spots still vacant. As Gu Bai and Yi Yiyi entered, everyone looked at them, and the previously noisy environnt gradually quieted down.
Director of External Affairs, Gu Bai.
His fa at the Shanghai Theatre Academy was on par with the dean’s.
He was soone you’d often hear of but rarely see.
But that wasn’t the most important thing. What’s more important is that now, any young person who’s involved with Weibo pretty much knows that this overly handso man in front of them is the epito of a diamond bachelor. At 20 years old, he’s the magnate of a billion-dollar conglorate. Just that status alone commands respect.
Several staff mbers from the External Affairs Departnt, upon seeing Gu Bai present, quickly smiled and greeted Gu Bai and Yi Yiyi. Gu Bai also responded with smiles to them as he was familiar with the staff levels in the External Affairs Departnt.
"Is that Gu Bai? It’s my first ti seeing him. He’s really handso!"
"What’s so special about being handso? Don’t you like Mao Buyi? He’s the boss of Mao Buyi!"
Many were seeing Gu Bai for the first ti, and they couldn’t help but secretly cast their gaze towards him. Young, wealthy, and charming, how many girls could resist Gu Bai right in front of them?
