Chapter 550: Target
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Iconic Student Council Presidents flashed through Zhao Youyue’s mind. Most of them had been females. Look at Student Council Presidents like Katsura Hinagiku [1], Misaki Usui [2], Tomoyo Sakagami [3], and daka Kurokami. [4] They were all super popular and adored. At the sa ti, their abilities were terrifying, almost to the point of reality-altering.
She recalled one male Student Council President in particular from ‘Classroom of the Elite’ [5]. He was a big-shot character as well.
Well, there was no need for a Student Council President character card for now. After all, if she wanted to be a Student Council President, she had to use so special tricks, or be a junior student first. Who knows, she might be kicked out just after one term. It could not be helped, too many people were after this position, as it actually possessed actual power!
A term of the Student Council’s President position spanned over only half a sester. Those who could participate in the elections would need to be a departnt head in the Student Council. If they wanted to be successful in the election, then no doubt, they would have to create their own election campaign team. If not, they would stand alone, even after being elected. Wouldn’t this be like a one-man army?
Zhao Youyue intently studied the organizational structure of Jiangnan University’s Student Council after she got back ho. She was even prepared to collect the resus of the past Student Council Presidents. She had set her heart on using her evil will to influence the Student Council. The more she discovered about Jiangnan University’s Student Council, the more she understood how much power it actually had!
The Student Council President could stay past curfew?
That was not a problem at all! The Student Council President would have to deal with all kinds of problem every day, and would even have to fight and sche against those evil adults at night. Staying out at night was proof of the Student Council President’s greatness!
However, Zhao Youyue wanted to ridicule the system. Why not change the Student Council President’s election into sothing like a Presidential election? Furthermore, wasn’t one term too short, if it was only half a sester? It’s as if you’ve just finished your song on stage, and soone else is already waiting for his turn[6]. Are there even any handover processes?
As Zhao Youyue studied the resus of past Student Council Presidents, she discovered that one had actually held power for 3 terms straight. Being the President for half a sester would be a sorry state. They could not even be the Student Council President for an entire school year. What aning was there in this title? You might as well go back ho and rear pigs!
Zhao Youyue liked doing the impossible. The euphoric success and triumph that followed would be intoxicating.
Sothing told her that the Student Council President’s throne was already hers. This way, she could raise... No, that’s not right. She could exercise her authority over others. She could show them the way. This was what a responsible ruler did with power!
Zhao Youyue even considered becoming a corrupt official. It was just like how she witnessed her own father playing Zhuge Liang in the ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII.’ He had even co up with ideas like ‘one-person Northern Expeditions.’
First, Zhao Youyue’s father had Zhuge Liang resign from his position as the Pri Minister of the Kingdom of Shu. Then, he beca a rchant in the villages. After he earned quite so money, he would seek refuge in the Kingdom of Wei. He would later get promoted to high-ranking positions in the Kingdom of Wei and control the treasury. Then, he would embezzle money ant for the military of the Kingdom of Zhao, and even transfer the troops to the border. Finally, he would align himself with Sima Yi and turn him to his side. He would then recomnd Sima Yi to the Kingdom of Shu. Just like that, he would remove all of the high-ranking officials and generals from the Kingdom of Wei, and finally revive the Han Dynasty!
Zhao Youyue had laughed hysterically throughout the playthrough. Her father was truly sothing! Unfortunately, that was just a ga. If not, it would have been impossible to be successful in a ‘one-man Northern Expedition.’
Nevertheless, a doting daughter had learned much from her father. She was self-taught in concepts like the ‘Thick Black Theory’ [7].
Becoming a Student Council President might even help expand her company. She could even learn about how money and power got involved in transactions within officialdoms!
As long as she could perform her duties until the entire university was satisfied, she could retain her position indefinitely. However, she now had a big question to solve. How was she going to get elected quickly?
She had gone through the resus of all past Presidents of the Student Council and discovered that one of the earliest Presidents got successfully elected when he was a sophomore. However, the sad part was, he was kicked out just after one term in the position. The reason was simple. Those experienced seniors in the Student Council never once obeyed him. At the sa ti, he did not have his own grassroots. In the end, he accomplished nothing in his term. Not only was the school unsatisfied, the entire student body was dissatisfied.
How did he even get elected? Well, he was sowhat lucky. He was rather popular online and beca viral from creating ga walkthrough videos. Coincidentally, he sohow beca the Assistant Departnt Head of the Student Council Publicity Departnt. He then had a bright idea about using his identity to run for elections. Originally, he only wanted to try things out casually. After campaigning with his ga walkthrough videos, he did not expect to find so many of his fans in the university...
At the sa ti, few had expected a sophomore to contest in the election for the Student Council President. Since he would not win anyway, there’s no harm throwing a few votes his way, right? His campaign slogan was to develop the e-sports community in the university and allow everyone to ga happily. This struck the G-spot of so guys. Therefore, otakus who were normally too lazy to vote actually went out in droves and blew up the ballot boxes.
Therefore, the ‘election story’ happened just like that. Unfortunately, this miracle only lasted for half a sester.
Even so, Zhao Youyue was greatly inspired by the chain of events!
The first thing to be made clear was that the Student Council President would be the core leader of the Student Council. There would be a Vice President to aid him. There were also several administrative departnts in the Student Council. It would typically be comprised of the Office of the Secretary (the Secretariat), the Class Relations Departnt (Class mber Relations Departnt), Publicity Departnt, Organizations Departnt, Learning Departnt, Social Practice Departnt, Sports Departnt, Arts Departnt, Student Life Departnt, Disciplinary Departnt (Disciplinary Inspection Departnt), Dormitory Supervisor Departnt (Male Departnt of Internal Affairs and Female Administrative Departnt), Public Relations Departnt (Publicity Departnt), Clubs and Associations Departnt, and the Technology Departnt. Each departnt would be led by a Departnt Head, two Assistant Departnt Heads, one Departnt Secretary, and several Officers.
Students who were eligible to run for the Student Council President election would have at least be an Assistant Departnt Head.
In reality, other than that lucky guy, no Assistant Departnt Head would dare run for the Student Council President election. There was simply no aning in it.
A majority of those who would seriously run for elections were Departnt Heads. They would usually be Departnt Heads of powerful departnts like the Public Relations Departnt or the Clubs and Associations Departnt. Departnt Heads of those small departnts would not even dare to think about running. Other departnts even had a lack of funding and would sotis be treated as if they were invisible.
Zhao Youyue saw her point of entry!
After all, side characters easily rose to renown in peace and silence, blindsiding the big dogs. Assembling the mbers of the departnt could be done in silence as well, there would be little to no voluntary applications...
