That's strange.
Lu Yibei also felt that he really didn't have any impression of Pan Pan.
But upon seeing the vice president's handsome face, one could only exclaim, "Holy crap, Yuan!"
Wen Yuan ignored Pan Pan.
He said to Lu Yibei:
"Brother Bei, once you take the position, I, the deputy head, will do what the head of the company doesn't want to do, manage what the head doesn't want to manage, and arrange for the head to slack off. I can do the work of a deputy head, and I can do the work of a head even better. I'm willing to be a beast of burden without complaint, as long as I become the deputy head!"
"...Wen Yuan, have some conscience! I've never seen you this diligent before?"
"You? Who are you?"
Wen Yuan scoffed, "You think you can compare to my Brother Bei?"
As he spoke, Wen Yuan raised his hand:
"Destroy Pan Pan's tyranny! Ancient style belongs to the North—"
"Alright, alright."
Lu Yibei was caught off guard and quickly said to Wen Yuan, "You guys are a traditional Chinese style club, not a science fiction club..."
“Give me your order, and I’ll transform it into a science fiction club,” Wen Yuan said earnestly.
"Traitor! Shameful!" Pan Pan angrily rebuked.
That's how the Ancient Style Society is.
Besides the beautiful Hanfu and abstract classical Chinese texts, the banter between the main and deputy members is also an integral part of the club's activities and should not be missed.
"What a delightful pair of bickering lovers..." someone commented with a laugh.
"It's one thing for people to be arguing and laughing at the same time, but what are you laughing at? Are you in a relationship too?" someone asked.
Some people couldn't laugh anymore; they kept their tears inside.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian entered one of the activity rooms.
Just as Pan Pan was about to continue promoting their Ancient Style Society to Lu Yibei, Wen Yuan stopped her:
"Small bread rolls".
"You're the little bread roll, your whole family are little bread rolls!"
Wen Yuan and Lu Yibei are in the same grade.
A year ago, the two of them saw Panpan recruiting at almost the same time.
They were ushered over by Pan Pan, one after the other.
The only difference is that one of them joined the Ancient Style Society.
No one made it in.
Even now, Pan Pan laments, "Why did I hire someone like you? If it had been Lu Yibei, it would have been so much better..."
Wen Yuan countered by saying, "Who told our Ancient Style Club's mascot not to be Senior Jiang Zile?"
...In other words, Lu Yibei's deeply memorable phrase "Little Bread Senior Sister" was overheard by Wen Yuan, who was right next to him, and has been used ever since.
"listen to me."
Wen Yuan said calmly, "Instead of looking for Lu Yibei, you should focus your attention on Ji Qingqian."
Pan Panyuan blinked her blankly.
Wen Yuan continued, "Their relationship is clearly special. He accompanied Ji Qingqian to the event this time, so what about next time, and the time after that? As long as Ji Qingqian is still a member, he'll always come... Since he's here for the event, does it really matter if he's a member of the Ancient Style Society or not? If all else fails, we can just call him an unofficial member..."
Pan Pan nodded, but was unwilling to give up:
"I'd like to try again..."
"He took the photos of the student union's editorial department before."
Wen Yuan sighed and said, "But I asked the students in the student council, and they said he didn't participate in the student council... Even Senior Li Si couldn't handle it, how could you handle it?"
Pan Pan: ...
Wen Yuan: "Do you have the ability to compete with Senior Li Si?"
“Hearing your words is like hearing a great deal of advice. It’s like the clouds have parted and the sun is shining through, and everything is suddenly clear. Our advantage over the student council is Ji Qingqian!” Pan Pan said.
Wen Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "This child is teachable."
"Hey!"
Pan Pan excitedly patted Wen Yuan on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you to be so smart, you're amazing! Yuan Shen?"
Wen Yuan's face darkened.
Pan Pan then followed Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian.
This time, however, she didn't rush Lu Yibei to join the Ancient Style Society. Instead, she focused on being their guide.
...
Ji Qingqian likes Lu Yibei.
No.
She considers it to be "love".
Therefore, in her opinion, it was only natural to think that Ah Bei was good.
However, Ji Qingqian didn't quite understand.
Why does President Pan treat Ah Bei this way...?
At first, she had a slight doubt that this senior student, nicknamed "Little Bread," might also admire Ah Bei as much as she did... But in fact, their attitudes were different.
Pan Pan's attitude towards Abei was less one of "liking" and more one of admiration.
It even made Ji Qingqian wonder if Abei had previously tried to sell health products to this company president, or if he had helped her with jump rope exercises.
Ji Qingqian first gave it some thought.
But she wasn't good at thinking, so she decided to ask Lu Yibei about the problem.
The two walked into the classroom for "Evolution of Characters".
The black and white posters in the event room were more appealing than the printed color posters.
The first one reads,
"Heaven rewards diligence"
It corresponds to the clerical script.
The second piece is a complete poem, titled "Man Jiang Hong".
The corresponding script is regular script.
"These two pieces are treasures left to us by the predecessors of the Ancient Style Society."
Some veteran members are introducing the place to newcomers and passersby who are visiting.
"And what about the third one?" someone asked, raising their hand.
The third image corresponds to running script, and it is specifically marked in parentheses to indicate that it is semi-cursive script.
Ji Qingqian felt that the handwriting looked familiar, and the words she wrote looked even more familiar.
It has the fewest words of the three, only two.
—North.
Ji Qingqian turned to look at Lu Yibei, surprised but not saying much, only asking with her eyes.
"Written by Lu Yibei."
Pan Pan, standing behind him, explained, "To attract new members, we held a unique free calligraphy event, and this guy was drawn in by that..."
