Chapter 229 (2/2)
Nonetheless, she would not simply praise or reward him, knowing that he was practically made out of ego. The last thing she would do would be to tip his work as a friend. Based on what she knew of him, she knew that she must have a concrete speech to compliment his work. Well, as argumentative as a scholar could be, he would not easily be cheated or played the fool.
She might as well let him live in his own worldshe did not want to get involved in it.
Zhao Youyue admitted that she was good at tricking others, sometimes, especially men. They would be very flattered when she throws empty praises at them, thinking that she had “discerning eyes,” compared to other girls. So, they would think that she is a kind and understanding girl, and befriend her in turn.
In truth, these empty complements would be made in passing, like an obligatory ritual of hers.
Three days after Zhao Youyue won the gold-prize in the provincial violin competition, the news started spreading all over the school!
This wouldn’t be much, on its own. However, she was already quite popular after gaining recognition as a top student before this, and now with this hefty gold prize, it was natural for her to become the center of attention instantly!
Zhao Youyue was soon appointed by the headmaster to give a speech on next week’s flag-raising ceremony. She was now fully qualified to be a representative of the top students.
However, this only annoyed her. Of course, this still gave her a sense of achievement. In fact, this was why she had been working so hard to make herself outstanding, so that she would be noticed by others, and become the center of attention
She deserved all of this.
What annoyed her was that she had to prepare the speech draft, and her writing sucked. It would be a misanthropic speech if she activates the “Yu Shengfan Card.” Perhaps, halfway through the speech, the headmaster would get pissed off and drive her off the stage.
As such, she thought of solving this problem by using money again!
As long as the problem can be solved by using the money, it would not be a problem at all!
“The Great Scholar Han, help me prepare a speech draft, three hundred RMB for one thousand words, deal?” she asked Han Leng, while placing a hand on his shoulder.
Suddenly, Zhao Youyue knew how to take advantage of Han Leng. Should she cultivate him into her personal scholar?
He would be able to write according to her demands. That would be awesome, right?
Han Leng was startled, and practically hugged the wall again, how could she touch him after three days of becoming his deskmate!
Doesn’t she know that it is improper for a man and woman to touch each other without a valid reason?
By acting elegantly indifferent, Han Leng wrote on his draft paper: “I refuse to do so!”
Then, he showed his draft paper to Zhao Youyue!
“Have you really lost your tongue? You haven’t spoken a word for the past three days, and have just expressed yourself in written words!” Zhao Youyue stared at the lunatic before her eyes and raised the stakes, “How about five hundred RMB? Deal?”
