  Chapter 69: For the Honor of the Department!

  TL: Etude

  The day after the dinner party, the manipution of public opinion began in full force.

  Dong Wenhao’s ability to trol tent was irong. With just five people, he pletely mobilized the atmosphere of the entire forum. All registered users began to participate in the discussion about the “campus belle,” sparking widespread debate in a very short time.

  “Liu Yiyi from the Literature Department is sidered a campus belle? Nonsense, she’s just somewhat elegant at best!”

  “Please, a campus belle of Lin Uy should be stunning, not this pin-Jaype!”

  “The Literature Department is not up to par. The Law Department has two freshmen this year, one named Chu Siqi and another named Hong Yan. Their beauty is what qualifies as a campus belle!”

  “eople from the Law and Literature Departments so fident? Our Media Department’s senior Fang Xuan is the real campus belle, okay? She’s even appeared on Lin TV!”

  “e on, ineeriment’s Wu Meng is the campus belle!”

  “Hahaha, I’m ughing. A campus belle from the Engineeriment, which is like a monastery? What kind of dream produce that?”

  “Enough, enough, stuing. Our puter Sce Department’s unanimously reized campus belle is senior sister Liu Tian, e ae if you disagree!”

  “The puter Sce Department is hardly aer than the Engineeriment. Just go to sleep.”

  The number of forum posts surged with the popurity of the topic, quickly filling the entire fession wall and anonymous treehole.

  This phenomenon wasn’t surprising. After all, in their student days, who didn’t have a dream goddess? If you say someone else is prettier than my goddess, I definitely ’t agree.

  Among the girls, the petition was even more intense, even among dormitory roommates. They were ruthless itle for beauty.

  “So what if you’re fair-skinned? I have a bigger bust, doesn’t that t for something?”

  “What does a big bust matter? I have a curvier figure!”

  Previously, there was no parison, or perhaps it was embarrassing to pare, but the forum’s campaign ighis fuse.

  Moreover, sihe forum allowed anonymous posting, even frenzied criticism of a roommate’s looks wouldn’t harm their friendship. It was simply delightful.

  Additionally, the matter of who was the campus belle wasn’t just about looks; it also involved departmental honor and the csh of opinioween men and women.

  “Why should the campus belle be from your department?”

  “Why ’t the campus belle be from our department?”

  Among all departments, the Engineeriment was the most fervent. They were determio prove they had beauties too, as other departments would dismiss them as a monastery. They were adamant about proving themselves.

  In those days, college students had few eais, so a topic that could spark widespread troversy easily became popur. With Dong Wenhao’s behind-the-ses push and the spread through forums, the discussion about “who is the campus belle” swept across the campus in an instant.

  “Engineeriment’s senior Wu Meng, the most beautiful in Lin Uy, high-resolution selfie attached!”

  “puter Sce Department’s senior Liu Tiaudent outfit photos, ready for battle!”

  “Literature Department’s Liu Yiyi, a casual snapshot, stunningly beautiful!”

  “Law Department’s Chu Siqi in military training photos, time to raise your aesthetiot everyone be called a campus belle!”

  “Law Department’s Hong Yan is a true beauty, alongside Chu Siqi as the double beauties, easily surpassing other departments!”

  …

  “Our campus forum has been a bit straely, why has it suddenly started discussing the campus belle issue?”

  “Director, that’s not our official forum. It’s a newly emerged ohat suddenly popped up these past few days.”

  “Oh, I was w when our old forum became so fashionable.”

  The head of the Literature Department’s academic office, with reading gsses on, clicked the mouse to like the post g Liu Yiyi from their department was the campus belle, and simultaneously downvoted posts from other departments.

  “This forum is quite iing, much more fun than the old one.”

  The Literature Department’s head wao other ses and stumbled upon a post titled “My Uious Life as a Rich Sed Geion.”

  “?”

  Intrigued by the peculiar name, he couldn’t resist reading a few ehe more he read, the deeper his frown became, eventually turning to ht fury. He furiously tapped the keyboard with two fingers.

  “Rubbish!”

  “Btantly promoting materialism and hedonism, taking pride in ziness, vulgar through and through. Did you feed your books to a dog?!”

  “And you call yourself a Lin Uy student? Which department are you from?”

  Cao Guangyu: “?”

  Cao Guangyu: “Blocked, hehe!”

  “?????”

  The Literature Department head, now in his fifties, felt an impulse to grab a kit knife and chop dower cable. He mehe deing admission standards of Lin Uy over the years, w why they were admitting such ostentatious individuals.

  Meanwhile, simir ses were unfolding in other department offices.

  Everyone found this mysterious forum and the sudden campus belle petition quite eaining, each having their own opinions on who was attractive and who wasn’t.

  It’s not that teachers are ily stubborn; those in professions involving young people are often more susceptible to popur culture.

  Some teachers were well aware of which female students were beautiful, which male students were handsome, which girls were into dating, and which “pyboys” were juggling multiple retionships. They too would gossip in the office, especially the middle-aged female teachers, whose i in such matters often exceeded that of the young female students.

  However, they maintained a professional demeanor in front of students. After all, who among us isn’t a spectator in the world?

  But when this matter reached the Engineeriment, the rea was slightly different.

  I years, recruiting for the Engineeriment had been challenging due to a ck of i from female students. Knowing the department wasn’t popur among women, male students were also relut to enroll.

  Fresh high school graduates rarely insist on being architects. Even academic achievers sider the male-to-female ratio when choosing a major.

  Why?

  Why should I live in a monastery when learning anything is still learning, and there are plenty of popur professions? So, the entire Engineeriment was rallying behind Wu Meng as the campus belle, with eveudent cil subtly encing likes. If the campus belle were from the Engineeriment, it would be a huge boost for year’s recruitment.

  Recruitment highlights: The department has a campus belle, and the dormitories have air ditioning.

  Simultaneously, the Uy ittee’s office also noticed this new forum called “Zhihu.” They found it odd, especially as they already had an official, albeit barely alive, forum. The emergence of this new forum, particurly with people from the old forum reending it, was causing quite a stir.

  “I heard this forum was created by a student from our school?”

  “Seems like it.”

  “Which department? Is it registered?”

  “Not sure about that.”

  “The website is well thought out, just a bit too eai-focused. Adding some educational material would be good, perhaps lectures from professors across departments. That would make it a true campus work.”

  “Principal Wang, if I’m not mistaken, we have a forum like that, but I hear even dogs don’t use it.”

  “……”
