Chapter 242 Apology Meeting

Three days later, Tilan brought Ruby and Anneli to the club activity room of Indigo Cornflower.

Compared with the last time, this time was particularly deserted. Empty teacup tables could be seen everywhere in the spacious floor. Some of the various decorations that were originally placed were also removed, leaving empty spaces.

Deep in the activity room, Cesarense lay in Peksi's arms, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, and the female deacon who had been seen before was also standing quietly behind the two of them, waiting as usual.

"It's okay, Cesarense, after we graduate, we can still form a fun organization, and then there will be no pressure and constraints from the academy." Hu Na sat aside, patting Cesarense's shoulder and comforting her with kind words, but her movements were a little hasty, and it seemed that her mentality was not stable.

Seeing Tilan and the other two coming, Pekos looked up and touched Cesarens in her arms, "You are here, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she looked at the female deacon behind her. The other party nodded slightly, first led the three people to sit at the empty round table not far away, and then walked to the tea room on the side to prepare black tea for the three people.

It seems that after hearing Pekos's words, Cesarens leaned in Pekos's arms and didn't want to get up. She felt that she was particularly embarrassed and vulnerable today, and didn't want to see outsiders at all.

"Okay, sooner or later, we have to face it. Cesarens today is also great. With me here, she won't say harsh words. Pekos whispered in her ear to comfort her, and coaxed for a long time before the usually very flamboyant girl slowly raised her head.

Seeing that the scene was a little tense, Ruby stood up and went over to say hello.

"Good morning, this is the big star Ruby. I wonder if you are interested in going for a walk and lunch with me."

"Lunch, it's still a little early now. If we go for a walk in the vineyard not far away, I think it's okay. "Pekosi took over.

"Then it's settled~"

Then the deacon brought tea, and the three of them took a few sips, waiting for Pekosi on the opposite side to mediate the emotions of the two people beside them, and then they stood up together and walked out of the room.

Taking the elevator downstairs, and then walking through the long corridor, the group came to the vineyard with green branches and leaves. The atmosphere gradually eased a little, and they didn't have to talk to each other face to face as they did in the house.

"The grapes are almost grown." The group stood under the vine rack, looking at the bunches of green grapes hanging above their heads.

"How about we have a picnic here after this incident?" Pekosi continued to comfort the two people beside him.

"Well..." Cesarens stared at the green and translucent fruits above his head that were illuminated by the sun, a little dazed.

"Where's Hu Na?"

"Me? Any time is fine. "Hu Na shook her hair and answered casually, but her eyes deliberately avoided looking at Tilan and the other two not far away from her.

Tilan didn't care about this, but just stood not far from them and followed quietly.

Afterwards, the six sat down at a stone table in the vineyard. At this time, Cesarens had recovered a little, and his emotions gradually stabilized, but he just didn't want to talk.

"When is the apology meeting scheduled?" Hu Na suddenly asked.

Anneli flipped the clipboard in her hand, and then replied: "This Friday morning, there will be reporters from news agencies who have a good relationship with the academy, so it won't be too difficult."

"But there will be a lot of embarrassment. "Hu Na snorted and turned away, then her expression fell silent.

Although she usually behaved very rebellious, she was not as relaxed as she appeared regarding this kind of thing. Thinking that it would be announced on Starnet and her mother would see it, and it would even affect her reputation, Hu Na became a little uneasy.

Feeling the various emotions in the hearts of the three people opposite, Tilan whispered a few words to Anneli beside her, and then Anneli stood up and left with Ruby to wait outside the vineyard.

"It's June now, and the June snow in the academy is about to bloom." The girl stood up, turned her back to the three people, and looked at the green plants in the distance.

"Time passes by year after year, some people grow up slowly, and some people grow old slowly. Many things that we cared about in the past are gradually forgotten. Maybe next Friday will be very hard to bear, but it will also be a day of passing."

"Good friends in childhood drift apart as time goes by. Such situations are not uncommon..." She sighed.

"I don't know whether Senior Sister Cesarens thinks that temporary embarrassment is more important or that good friends are more precious." After saying this, she turned around.

"I used to maintain friendship very carefully, but the other party did not regard me as a real friend, but just an object of random manipulation and ridicule."

"I envy Senior Sister Cesarens very much. Although there are some mistakes, this unrestrained publicity also attracts friends who are similar to me."

"Cherish everything in front of you, Senior Sister Cesarens, if you can wake up."

After saying this, the girl also walked out of the vineyard and left slowly, leaving the three emotionally surging people to slowly reminisce.

——————

Three days later, a press conference was held in a building of the academy. Many journalists arrived. Accompanied by the teacher, Cesarens and three other girls walked onto the stage, bowed, and apologized for the mistakes they had made in the past two years. They then expressed their willingness to participate in a six-month public welfare service as volunteers and to donate a sum of money to improve the medical care of the poor. Finally, they announced the disbanding of the club and would no longer participate in or organize any similar activities.

Opposite the three of them, a suspended high-definition camera recorded the entire process, and reporters came forward to ask questions.

"What happened that suddenly made Cesarens wake up?"

...

"Did the top management of Edes Academy threaten you, such as threatening to expel you or not graduate?"

...

"May I ask what kind of public welfare service you three are going to do? Are you going to travel around as publicity ambassadors?"

...

Although many of the news agencies present had been greeted by the academy, some reporters' questions were still tricky, leaving several inexperienced students at a loss as to how to answer them perfectly.

Fortunately, the public relations department of the academy was well prepared in advance. Through the built-in micro-earphones, the three were reminded of how to respond. Finally, the entire press conference was completed without any obvious loopholes.

"These reporters are really terrible." Anneli muttered softly.

"Reporters are like this. They are afraid that the world will not be in chaos and always want to make some explosive news." Ruby is already familiar with this.

"Sometimes in order to cover up or suppress a certain news, the best way is to detonate a more explosive news to attract everyone's attention."

"That kind of forced suppression of heat is often ineffective and more laborious."

After that, Ruby popularized the various methods and common routines of making trouble in the entertainment industry to several people.

"I hope this apology can achieve the expected effect."
