Chapter 585 (2/2)
She could use the contents of these club activities to request for higher fundings from the Student Council. After all, it was impossible to hire famous chefs with money alone. Without the identity of the Zhao family, she could never procure imperial-level chefs.
Throughout the process, Zhao Youyue had used Xu Jing’s learning ability to learn many new recipes. After a few dishes, she had conquered many people’s stomachs. This had drastically increased the total number of Lady Zhao’s admirers. The “female chef” attribute did not seem to earn many charm points within literary works. In reality, a terrific cook earned a terrific amount of fans!
Thus, the Food Research Club welcomed an upsurge of applicants. In a sense, this was Lady Zhao’s “achievement.” With such an “achievement,” she would be able to enter the Student Council and become the Deputy President of a particular department!
Zhao Youyue approved all the applications without hesitation. Many of the applicants were joining the club only to approach Zhao Youyue. I wonder, how would they react to find President Zhao Youyue leaving, not long after their induction?
Of course, true gourmets were among these applicants. Lady Zhao could read people like books at an uncannily high level. She placed these members responsible for more work than most. Her core members remained as Han Leng, Du Hang, and He Weiwei. They held their private meetings at other locations such as the independent bookstore that Han Leng frequented. It was as artistic and as elegant as one could imagine. It was the ideal place to order a cup of milk tea or coffee and chit-chat.
The latest meeting only involved Zhao Youyue and Han Leng. They did not meet in the bookstore, but the classical concert hall. After all, the topic of that meeting was “Chu Luoxun.”
Han Leng was rather familiar with the place. He would never forget the first time he saw Lady Zhao turning into a Goddess; it was as if he had seen Chu Luoxun in reality…
Han Leng was very nervous at that moment. He waited for Lady Zhao’s answer. This was as close as one could get when it came to a confession!
He shook the awkward thought away. Confessing was impossible for him. He might not even get away with one in this lifetime. In his case, it was fated to be a pointless behavior. He had decided to be forever alone. This was the fool; this was Han Leng’s idea of romance.
Han Leng had never been so unsure, so uncertain. He was even somewhat pessimistic about the whole thing —— Could Lady Zhao even act as Chu Luoxun?
It was useless even if her characteristics were similar to Chu Luoxun. Did Lady Zhao even understand the basics of acting? Did she know how to act in front of the camera?
The more Han Leng thought, the more pessimistic he became. He even wanted to reject himself on Zhao Youyue’s behalf. This unreasonable request had troubled Lady Zhao again. He was guilty on all accounts…
The truth could not be further. Lady Zhao was on the brink of blowing up in self-confidence. She was a European emperor; she was an overinflated hot-air balloon. Of course, she would jump at the opportunity to act as Chu Luoxun. Even if Han Leng did not ask, she would appoint herself. Chu Luoxun was her Goddess wife!
“I’ll do it! I’ll pull off your perfect Chu Luoxun!” Lady Zhao boldly declared. As expected from a newly-wedded European emperor.
