Seeing Ning Yuan's horrified expression, Zhang Hongmei cursed Zhang Zhenguo as an idiot in her heart!
Apologizing can be treated like going to a funeral.
She forced a smile and quickly walked over, saying to Ning Yuan, "Junior, Minister Zhang made a mistake, and many people have reported it to Chairman Lu of the Department Student Union!"
Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Hongmei, her mind racing. Who was this person?
I'm too busy, so I have no idea what the student union president looks like!
However, those two were standing far away, so they probably didn't hear her conversation with her cheap older brother!
Looking at her expression, Zhang Hongmei realized that Ning Yuan didn't even recognize who her idol, whom everyone at Fudan University should know, was.
She was immediately filled with embarrassment and anger, feeling that Ning Yuan was truly arrogant and disrespectful!
“When freshmen enter the school, the president of our economics department student union always gives a speech. She also gave a speech last year when you were a freshman!”
Zhang Hongmei held back; she had come with a mission!
Ning Yuan thought for a moment, oh, she hates listening to platitudes the most. At that time, she was daydreaming and thinking about selling sparkling water!
"Ahem, sorry, I have a bad memory." Ning Yuan coughed lightly.
Zhang Hongmei forced a smile and said, "It's like this. Under Chairman Lu's guidance, Minister Zhang has deeply realized his mistakes and has come to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive Minister Zhang, after all, we are all comrades."
Ning Yuan glanced at Zhang Zhenguo and said calmly, "Since Minister Zhang has realized his mistake, could you please have him write a letter of self-criticism for me?"
Zhang Hongmei was stunned, before she could even speak.
Zhang Zhenguo's face instantly darkened as he said, "You want me to write a self-criticism? Based on your flattery and sycophancy..."
He suddenly realized something, and under Ning Yuan's ambiguous gaze, he swallowed his words back.
"It seems that Minister Zhang doesn't truly realize his mistake. What else is there to say?" Ning Yuan chuckled and turned to leave.
Zhang Hongmei panicked and slapped Zhang Zhenguo's arm: "Zhang Zhenguo, don't forget what the Chairman told you to write a self-criticism!"
Zhang Zhenguo recalled the chilling light in Lu Jingui's slightly swollen, narrowed eyes. He took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll write it. I'm sorry!"
Damn it, a bunch of bitches. Once Lu Jingui graduates next year, he'll definitely become the student council president!
Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Zhenguo's aggrieved expression and gave a slight twitch of her lips: "There needs to be a cause and effect of what happened, why you apologized, what kind of self-criticism you made, and you need to sign and put your fingerprint on it!"
What's the use of such a half-hearted apology? Of course, you need solid evidence to have real leverage, and how you use it is up to her!
Zhang Zhenguo's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this—what kind of self-criticism is this? This is a written record! They're pushing their luck!
Zhang Hongmei thought Ning Yuan was too arrogant, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, it wasn't her who wrote the self-criticism!
"Okay," Zhang Zhenguo reluctantly agreed.
Ning Yuan nodded in satisfaction and looked at Zhang Hongmei: "Um, please convey my gratitude to Chairman Lu."
Zhang Hongmei curled her lips and said, "Why don't you, Ning Yuan, go and thank Chairman Lu in person? Our Chairman Lu is a very kind person!"
Ning Yuan paused. Oh, is it that the student council president of that department has something to say to her?
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
She was quite curious about what kind of formidable woman had confronted her own brother-in-law.
Zhang Hongmei then smiled, shooed Zhang Zhenguo away like a fly, and accompanied Ning Yuan to the student union office.
"Let me introduce you to our chairperson. Her pen name is 'Human Front,' have you heard of it?" Zhang Hongmei asked.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that when Grandma Xia was bored, she read the students' newspapers and magazines and saw some argumentative essays and prose, saying that they were quite thoughtful.
She took a look too, and it seemed the author's title was something like "Human Front."
The articles mainly criticize current events and phenomena, as well as some that encourage women to be independent and self-reliant; they are indeed quite insightful.
After learning that the author was a woman, she felt quite admiration for her!
Ning Yuan nodded: "I've read it. The article is indeed very well written and very insightful."
Zhang Hongmei immediately became excited and grabbed Ning Yuan's hand: "Right? Our Chairman Lu is a man of great vision!"
She shook Ning Yuan's arm excitedly: "I'm so glad you also have your own insights on ideology. Let's follow in Chairman Lu's footsteps. Are you interested in joining the student union!"
Ning Yuan withdrew her hand without showing any emotion: "I'm sorry, I'm involved in a city-wide engineering project, and I have to catch up on my schoolwork in my spare time. I really don't have time to participate in student activities."
Seeing this, Zhang Hongmei was somewhat disappointed: "It's such a pity. You've read Chairman Lu's works, so we're kindred spirits. If you join the association, you'll know how many of our classmates admire and worship Chairman Lu just like you."
Ning Yuan: "Ah..."
Who worships her?
Looking at the excited Zhang Hongmei, she suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she were seeing a crazy fan recommending a celebrity decades later.
"Um...you guys don't actually write analysis and commentary on Chairman Lu's articles, do you?" Ning Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Hongmei's eyes lit up again: "Oh my, how did you know? Our student council members have a weekly reading session on Chairman Lu's articles. We write reading notes, bind them into a book, and Chairman Lu's articles are always fresh and insightful!"
Ning Yuan: "..."
She almost forgot that idol worship exists in every era, and Hai Zi's fans can be even more fanatical...
These days, with no other form of entertainment, people generally idolize those who frequently publish articles in newspapers and magazines. Parents can show them off everywhere, even to the passing cockroaches—
"Xiaoqiang, how did you know my child was in the newspaper?"
Not to mention that this Chairman Lu has also published books and writes well, so it's not surprising that she has a group of crazy female fans.
But this feeling always reminded her of the chaotic era of mass movements a few years ago... certain people who especially loved shouting slogans and their followers.
She's a busybody trying to make money, so she shouldn't meddle in young girls' hobbies.
Ning Yuan coughed lightly and replied perfunctorily, "Ah, yes."
Zhang Hongmei, however, seemed to have already regarded Ning Yuan as one of her own, and her attitude became much more intimate. She took Ning Yuan with her to the student council office.
"Chairman Lu, Ning Yuan is here! She has read many of your articles and likes you very much!" Zhang Hongmei excitedly brought Ning Yuan over.
Ning Yuan: "..."
