Leng Wei lay in bed, watching Zhao Xuanxuan's new drama, feeling both annoyed and amazed:
"Although this woman's character isn't great, her acting skills and looks are really good!"
"Poor Jue Ge, he'll have to work with her again in his next project. If another scandal breaks out, those brainless fans will probably attack him again!"
Lu Qing just smiled when she heard this. As far as she knew, her fifth brother had taken the initiative to get the role in the next drama where he would be paired with Zhao Xuanxuan!
It seems like these two have started to click.
Let's not tell Leng Wei for now, so as not to add to her sadness.
"By the way! Qingqing, tonight is the last day to register for the student council. Should we go? Otherwise, it will be difficult to accumulate extracurricular points later," Yang Xiwen said.
Before Lu Qing could reply, Gu Fei poked her head out from behind the curtains:
"Actually, we have a second option."
"What choice?" Yang Xiwen asked.
Gu Fei: "The Peking University Youth Volunteer Association!"
Cheng Yiyi: "Now that you mention it, I remember that the Youth Association also has a lot of activities. They earn just as many points as the Student Union, and they don't have as many things to do as the Student Union."
Leng Wei: "Because the student council had too few interviewees, they just passed everyone they interviewed. They're probably already overcrowded by now."
Lu Qing immediately made the decision:
"Then it's decided. We'll go for the interview at the Youth Association."
"Okay!" Everyone agreed.
In the evening, the five students from the dormitory headed straight to the Youth Association's interview location.
Because of the previous student council issues, the Youth Association's interviews were also postponed a lot. However, since the Youth Association doesn't need as many people as the student council, the interviews were still more rigorous.
After Lu Qing and the others filled out the application forms, they went to their respective preferred departments.
Leng Wei and Cheng Yiyi were both quite capable, so they went to the publicity department; Yang Xiwen went to the planning department; and Lu Qing and Gu Fei went to the practice department.
After the interviews, everyone passed smoothly.
For the next period of time, they officially entered their busiest phase, having to complete departmental activities and check in every day after finishing their classes.
Some are online tasks, and some are offline tasks.
Online tasks are fine, but offline ones inevitably take up rest time.
The practical department where Lu Qing and Gu Fei work has a lot of offline activities, but they also earn a lot of extracurricular points, and participation is voluntary.
Since they were going to get points anyway, they figured they might as well collect them first so it would be easier later on. So they made sure to show up whenever there was an event.
The head and deputy head of the practice department were happy to take them along, since there were two beautiful girls from wealthy and powerful families, and the presence of polite girls made their tasks much smoother.
Take today's educational activities at the Children's Palace, for example.
They had originally agreed to have the afternoon reserved for them, but the person in charge changed their mind at the last minute and insisted that they pay before they could enter.
The Youth Association has very little funding for activities; if you pay the fee, you can forget about holding any more activities.
Just as the minister was at his wit's end, Lu Qing suddenly remembered that the Chu family seemed to have invested in this youth palace.
"Minister Zhou, don't worry, let me try making a phone call!"
Lu Qing dialed Chu Panshan's phone number and told him about the Children's Palace.
Chu Panshan immediately instructed Lu Qing to hand the phone to the person in charge.
"Hey! Uncle, my dad needs to talk to you about something!"
A man in a suit, with a beer belly, looked impatient.
"Go away! Stop causing trouble. No matter who comes, it won't help. This is a place for customers. You think you can get in without paying? Dream on!"
Lu Qing turned on the speakerphone, and Chu Panshan's voice came through:
"Manager He, it's been a long time! Your temper is still the same as before!"
He Qiang was stunned. Why did that voice sound so familiar?
"You...you are..."
"Manager He, you have such a bad memory! Your General Manager Liu treated me to dinner just last month!"
Now, He Qiang finally remembered, his expression changed drastically, and he held up his phone with a fawning smile:
"Oh, it's Mr. Chu! I didn't know it was you on the phone, my apologies!"
"My daughter said you wouldn't let her go to the Children's Palace with her classmates for activities, is that true?" Chu Panshan asked with a smile.
He Qiang quickly said:
"No, no! If it were anyone else, I certainly wouldn't let them in so easily, but your daughter, Mr. Chu, is different. I'll arrange for them to go in right away."
Chu Panshan: "Then I'll have to trouble Manager He to take care of my daughter!"
He Qiang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay! Don't worry, I promise to take good care of your daughter and her classmates!"
After saying that, Lu Qing took the phone back and smiled:
"Thank you, Dad!"
Chu Panshan was secretly delighted. This was the first time his daughter had asked him for help, so he had to make sure he did his best.
"No need to thank me! I'm your father, it's only right that I help you. I'm happy that you asked me for help!" Chu Panshan said with a smile.
"Okay! Dad, I'm going to do my activity now!"
Okay! Be careful!
Even long after hanging up the phone, Chu Panshan's smile remained.
After learning Lu Qing's identity, He Qiang no longer dared to make things difficult for her. He respectfully invited them in and then brought them a lot of fruit and snacks.
"Miss Chu, please sit here with your classmates for a while. I'll go next door and call the children over," He Qiang said with a fawning expression.
Lu Qing nodded slightly before he left.
Minister Zhou Hanchi couldn't help but sigh, "You really do need a good father; it makes everything so much easier!"
Lu Qing simply smiled and remained silent.
Soon, He Qiang brought the children over. Zhou Hanchi and two boys immediately set up the venue and placed small stools, while Lu Qing and Gu Fei, the two girls, led the lively children to their seats.
The oldest children here are no more than eight years old, and the youngest are just over three. They can't even walk very steadily, let alone sit still in their seats.
Lu Qing had just coaxed one child to sit on the stool and turned to take care of another when the first one had already run away.
She and Gu Fei were like eagles catching chicks, catching one and then letting the other run away, working up a sweat, but very few children were sitting obediently in their seats.
"Qingqing, this can't go on! I'm exhausted!" Gu Fei said, panting.
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "I've got it!"
She stood on a chair and shouted:
"Kids, magic trick! Come and watch!"
Children are always attracted to novel things, and they all looked at Lu Qing when they heard the sound.
Lu Qing grabbed a handful of candy and covered it with a red cloth.
"Now I'm going to make the candy disappear, do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it!" the children all answered.
"Then watch closely!"
Lu Qing gently shook the red cloth, then suddenly pulled it off, and the large handful of candy in her hand had indeed disappeared.
Upon seeing this, all the children exclaimed in unison:
Wow! It's really gone!
Lu Qing was very satisfied with their reaction, and then smiled and said:
"Next, I'll conjure up candies one by one. Do you want to eat some sweet candy?"
"Yes!" the children answered in unison again.
"But the candy isn't free. I'm going to give it as a reward to the children who sit quietly on their stools. I wonder who among you is the best behaved?"
As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, the children all found stools and sat down.
