Chapter 151 Cooperation
"No, in the rumors you are portrayed as unreasonable tyrants, but from my observation, you are not like that."
After Valencia finished speaking, the other girls nodded quickly like little quails.
"And then? Actually, this doesn't have much impact on us."
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Valencia looked at her seriously and said:
“No, I don’t know if you, as an Asian, have heard of an old Chinese saying—”
"It's better to take precautions before they happen." She said this in Chinese.
Zhang Wei nodded slightly. She didn't expect that after being here for so long, this was the first time she met someone who had some knowledge of China, and she was just a little girl in her early ten years old.
"Well said," she nodded in praise.
"Thank you. My uncle is a fan of Chinese culture, and I have some understanding of it. I heard that you are of Chinese descent. I am so happy to receive your recognition!"
"What did she mean?" Tracy looked at Zhang Wei.
"This saying comes from ancient China and means to take precautions before disaster strikes."
"You mean we're going to be in trouble?" Butch asked immediately.
Zhang Wei smiled. This girl is quite good at making a big deal out of something she is not. Let's see what she can come up with.
"We don't have time to play riddles with you. Tell us what you think and we can give you some help if it's within an acceptable range."
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Valencia smiled awkwardly.
She thought to herself that Vera Wilson, the leader of the Excellence, was indeed as difficult to fool as the legend said.
Whether she was deliberately showing off her Chinese proficiency to show closeness, or emphasizing that they were also being schemed against by others, she remained unmoved.
It seems that the outstanding ones see clearly that these little tricks will not have any substantial impact on them, but it is different for the twelve newly honored people.
Having his thoughts seen through, Valencia had no choice but to adjust his thinking and decided to tell the truth:
"Actually, the rumor started on the first day of school. It was said that your expressions were not very good when you put the cloaks on us."
At this point she added: "Of course, we don't have this idea. These are all malicious speculations by others." In fact, they were too excited to pay so much attention.
Zhang Wei then remembered that they were not in a good mood because they were worried about changing dormitories, and the culprit who brought up the topic was Butch.
When Zhang Wei and the others looked at Butch, she waved her hands awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean to do that. I just heard someone say we needed to change dorms before the opening ceremony."
"Who told you that?" Alia also became smart and asked immediately.
"She's the sister of so-and-so, she's in the student union." Butch winked at them.
"Idiot!" Queenie cursed rudely, and Hayat rolled his eyes.
"Did she tell you about those rumors?"
Butch then realized that something was wrong, and then said doubtfully:
"If she specifically wanted to tell me the news, then why did she also tell me that it was the student union that requested the club only recruit a small number of new members? Isn't it obvious that it was the student union's arrangement?"
"She might want me to go knock on their door, which would further prove that we are arrogant and domineering and can only obey our orders."
Valencia added: "It's a pity that you didn't care. Their plan failed."
"Actually, this is similar to our reasoning. This series of actions should be a power grab initiated by the student union. They want to suppress the Excellence Group and us and gain authority."
Then she listed the ideas behind this behavior in a very organized way:
“First, they created a conflict between us and the outstanding ones through the podium rumors, thus weakening our presence among the freshmen;”
"The second step is to use the club's recruitment instructions to make the new students angry at us and develop negative feelings towards the outstanding people."
"I think as a third step, they will probably release more recruitment quotas and create scenes of conflict with you. This will highlight their image of not fearing power and striving to resist, thus winning the support of all students."
"Ultimately, we King's Scholars will become symbols of power, and there will be a constant stream of people who will take pride in opposing us, and we will get into unnecessary trouble."
Zhang Wei led the applause for Valencia. When she smiled with satisfaction at her own explanation, Zhang Wei added:
"That's a very inflammatory speech. I suggest you apply to join the debate club. Although most of what you said is true, we are not worried about challenges or confrontations from others."
These fledgling "outstanding people" thought of Zhang Wei's rumors about the great devil who was both civil and military, and had to admit that she was right.
Just when they thought this communication would not make any progress, Zhang Wei said:
"But the student union's actions are truly disgusting, and I need to get everyone's opinions."
Hearing this, the little quails' eyes lit up immediately, and Valencia said hurriedly:
"We'll handle all the troublesome things. We're quite capable and we won't let you down!"
Thinking that they did have the same interests, the Excellence people agreed to cooperate with them.
The student union is like a venomous snake lurking around, and this snake cannot be killed. I guess the only way to stop them from being threatened is to replace its brain.
When Zhang Wei asked Namier about the situation of the student union at the boys' school, he found out that the student union there was originally the student union of the outstanding people.
"Don't they find it annoying to have so many chores?" Zhang Wei asked.
Namier's tone was as if Zhang Wei had never seen the world. "Is it annoying? A president has two vice presidents and an assistant, and there are also ministers in charge of various departments. What does the president need to do? How can it be annoying?"
Zhang Wei: I haven’t seen the world yet…
So the final strategy they considered was to "cut off the fuel from under the cauldron" and give the student union a major overhaul!
Then they were divided into two groups, one of which was the "election group" because the beginning of the school year was the time when students could apply to the school board for the position of student union president, and three "outstanding students" including Valencia had to submit their applications.
In fact, last year, if only one of Zhang Wei and her classmates had submitted an application, they would have most likely been admitted. After all, their ability to receive the King's Scholarship demonstrates a lot.
It's because Tracy and Zhang Wei have created a somewhat isolated atmosphere in their dormitory, but now they really have no interest in the student union, so the energetic Valencia and others will be in charge.
However, they can provide some information about the preferences of the teachers on the school committee and give some suggestions for their applications.
