  Chapter 66: Have You Heard of the Campus Belle?

  TL: Etude

  “I know that retly many people in our club have been doing part-time jobs outside, which is a good thing. After all, promoting work-study programs is something the school has always advocated. However, because of this, we’ve often struggled to gather enough people for activities, which is really crossing the line.”

  “I hope you all uand clearly, this part-time activity is an opportunity provided by our club, aimed at honing your writing skills, not for you to be solely profit-driven!”

  “Do you still remember your initial dreams when you joihe Literature Club? Spending all day writing melodramatic fluff, do you still have the passion to create?”

  “The debate petitio month is crucial. Four nearby uies will participate. Those who want to sign up should stop doing part-time jobs. This is a mandatory requirement. Think about it for yourselves; I don’t want you t shame to our Literature Club.”

  At the East Campus, Building A, ierature Club’s activity room.

  Yao Yanling eaking at the podium. Her voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even outside the .

  Jiang Qin stood outside the door, listening for a while, thinking to himself that whatever he thinks, happens. He had just been sidering how Dong Wenhao rofit in tent ma and wao recruit him, and now the opportunity had preseself.

  “Boss, what do you think?” Dong Wenhao asked quietly.

  Jiang Qin turo him, “Aren’t you in charge of the part-time job thing? With Yao Yanling doing this, you still survive in the club?”

  Dong Wenhao touched his nose, “Is Sister Yaeting me?”

  “Of course she’s not targeting you, she’s targeting Shi Miaomiao.”

  “?”

  Jiang Qin pulled him aside to the south end of the corridor, “Shi Miaomiao’s ‘You are the Fireworks of the World’ is very popur on the forum and has many fans. Did you know about this?”

  Dong Wenhao nodded, “I know, and I’m quite happy for her. She loves writing novels, and it’s great that she’s achieving success.”

  “Don’t py dumb with me. The ground promotion has been going on for so long, Yao Yanling must have seen Shi Miaomiao’s novel on the forum. That girl has always been suppressed by Yao Yanling. I rejected Yao’s submission but accepted Shi Miaomiao’s. ’t you see the obvious here?”

  Dong Wenhao’s face ged instantly, “Sister Yao wouldn’t be so petty, right?”

  “A woman be magnanimous towards a man, but towards another woman, there’s only ever jealousy, especially under simir circumstances,” Jiang Qin expined clearly.

  “No, boss, I think you might be wrong.”

  “?”

  Dong Wenhao lowered his voice, “After I secretly submitted Shi Miaomiao’s manuscript to you, I felt it wasn’t appropriate and fessed to Sister Yao. She was very calm about it, not angry at all.”

  Jiang Qin sighed, “She thinks Shi Miaomiao’s writing is trash, even if it’s published on my website, it’s still trash. She wouldn’t stop you, and might evehis to boast about her dising eye while proving that I’m blind. See, I told you it’s not good, and it really isn’t!”

  “But now Miaomiao is popur…” Dong Wenhao’s face turned pale.

  “Yes, now Shi Miaomiao is popur, proving that Yao is the ohout insight. And since you gave me Shi’s manuscript, who else would she hate but you?”

  Dong Wenhao felt a tingling in his scalp, “She should hate you!”

  After listening, Jiang Qin sneered, “What’s the use of her hating me? I’m not from the literature department, nor am I part of the Literature Club. Hating me is pointless. But don’t fet, you are the one closest to her who is responsible.”

  “What should I do now?”

  “Your days ahead might not be easy,” Jiang Qin clicked his tongue.

  Dong Wenhao frowned, “But I love literature, I’m passionate about it.”

  Jiang Qin patted his shoulder, “Don’t kid yourself. I knew from the first time I met you that you’re not suited for the Literature Club.”

  “Boss, talk about the matter at hand, don’t attack me personally!” Dong Wenhao felt he had a talent for literary creation.

  “You call yourself part of the Literature Club, yet you spend all day reading men’s magazines. ‘Separated for Three Years, Yet The Wife is Mysteriously Pregnant,’ is this what you call literature?”

  Dong ened his mouth, struggling to find any words to refute, “So, should I just leave the Literature Club?”

  Jiang Qin nodded subtly, “But even if you leave, you still tinue w. You’re already adept at tent work, so e work as a tent pnner for me first.”

  “But I’m already a lone ander noould I pn for?”

  “Is it only the Literature Club members who write? Everyone is a product of pulsory education, having survived the fierpetition of college entrance exams. Why should only the Literature Club members be sidered talented?”

  “Boss, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

  Jiang Qin opened his phone and flipped to the dar, “I’ll give you two days. Recruit a group of people for tent creation. No matter how many you get, it’s fine if the post quality is a bit low.”

  Dong Wenhao hesitated, “We’re not a club; we don’t have the right to openly recruit students for work.”

  “Rules are dead, but people are alive. Other societies attract members with academic credits; we don’t have that capability. We only have a bit of money. Offer five yuan per article, and I don’t believe there will be anyone who truly sees money as dirt.”

  Dong Wenhao’s mind buzzed, thinking how Jiang Qin could say such impressive words in such a humble tone. But Jiang khat Dong’s asking this questio he had pletely surrendered. With Yao Yanling as the club president, tinuing ierature Club was unrealistic for him.

  “After establishing the tent team, ge the creative dire and guide the users,” Jiang Qin said.

  Dong Wenhao, surprised by the swift ge in topic, took a while to respond, “ge to what dire?”

  “Do you know about the cept of ‘campus belle’?”

  “I know, I’ve seen videos in the special se.”

  “?????”

  Jiang Qin was taken aback, w if Dong was using the same website as him.

  “Keep going, boss, campus belle, then what?” Dong Wenhao’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

  “Does your literature department have anyone who cims to be the campus belle?”

  “Yes, Liu Yiyi and Sun Xiaoyu. They’ve always cimed themselves as campus belles and many guys seem to agree. But I don’t think it’s right. Although they’re pretty, they aren’t quite at the level of campus belles. There are plenty of prettier girls at Lin Uy.”

  Jiang Qin nodded, “The step is to hype up the cept of the campus belle. For instaating that Liu Yiyi is the number one campus belle of Lin Uy, and no one else pares. Then people will start tue, g that Sun Xiaoyu is the real campus belle and Liu Yiyi, just a ft runway, should step aside!”

  Dong Wenhao, still fused, replied, “What’s the point of doing this?”

  “The forum’s user base has been growing, but iion remains low. People like to watch but not participate. So, I pn to guide a highly troversial topic. Then, leverage it tanize a campus belle voting petition, where users support their favorite goddesses through posting, daily voting, and attrag new users,” Jiang Qin briefly expined his pn.

  Dong Wenhao frowned, still not fully prehending, “And then?”

  “I run the website to make mohe simplest way to moize right now is through advertising. I o show Lin’s businesses how many active users are on my forum, right?”

  Dong ursed his lips, “But in terms of looks, who pete with yirl?”

  “You mean Feng Nanshu? She’s a little bug, too much of a rule breaker. She ’t participate, or else no one else would stand a ce.”
