CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 161: COUNTERATTACK

Zhao Qingyue was more and more shocked as she listened, and had to take Lin Qin’s demands seriously, "Can I ask the purpose of your insistence on establishing the E Society?"

Lin Qin naturally wouldn’t mention the report from the student newspaper. She replied officially and politely, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I want to join a newspaper after graduation. What I’m doing now is just planning for my future. It’s hard to make great achievements while staying under others. I have bigger ambitions."

Zhao Qingyue seemed to find a kindred spirit, and her gaze towards Lin Qin became much friendlier. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and revealed a faint smile, "I understand, go ahead and fill out the application form."

Lin Qin was overjoyed, thanked her repeatedly, and quickly filled out the application form completely.

When the two walked out of the activity building, it was almost time for afternoon classes.

Ge Qiuyue, walking under the sunlight, finally realized that everything that had just happened was not a dream, "My goodness, girl, you are amazing! You actually convinced our student council president in one go, I really admire you! So what do we do next?"

Lin Qin looked towards the teaching building, "First, we go to class. If everything goes well, E Society should be approved by the time school ends. I’ve already thought about it, we will choose the activity building’s fourth floor for our E Society address, there’s an unused classroom there, it should be available for us. I’ll contact people tonight to have all the printing equipment delivered."

Ge Qiuyue was taken aback by this and felt once again how extraordinary Lin Qin was.

As Lin Qin expected, after school in the afternoon, Zhao Qingyue informed them that E Society’s club application had been approved.

The location Lin Qin selected, since it was an unused classroom, was also approved.

On Wednesday, Gao Lei sent Wu Agui to deliver everything Lin Qin needed to the teacher’s college.

Lin Qin thanked him repeatedly.

Wu Agui patted his chest loyally and said, "Sister-in-law, if there’s anything else you need, let me know, I’ll be heading to Guangdong Province to meet Brother Lei in a couple of days; you can contact me through this phone number."

Lin Qin accepted his business card and personally escorted him downstairs.

When she returned, everyone in the 301 dormitory looked at Lin Qin with a different expression.

"Qin... Sister Qin! Was that a big boss? He looked really impressive!" Zhang Hong asked cautiously.

Lin Qin nodded ambiguously.

Zhou Xue was thoughtful.

Lin Qin immediately organized a few friends to start researching how to print newspapers, and they almost figured it out.

The six of them began preparing the first issue of the newspaper.

Lin Qin was mainly responsible for elaborating on Jia Pengxuan’s campus violence incident, listing reasons one, two, three, four..... clarifying the causes and effects of the matter, and directly pointing out how Li Xiaomei was bullying new students and highlighting the common phenomenon of senior students bullying juniors, resonating with the new students.

Additionally, they released a separate report accusing Jia Pengxuan, the deputy chief of the student newspaper, of bias and unfairness, thereby questioning the authenticity of the student newspaper’s content, directly calling out Jia Pengxuan for behaving like a petty person, taking advantage of authority.

The criticism was refined yet scathing.

Another module featured the latest part-time job information in An City, suitable for students, but only included job details without contact methods. If needed, they had to consult E Society.

Besides these, there were three more sections: beautiful prose poetry, encouraging submissions, a "Daily Laughter" jokes section, and finally a psychology test, with answers in the next issue.

As soon as the newspaper was out, the six people in the 301 dormitory went crazy.

Bai Junjun looked at Lin Qin with admiration, "Sister Qin, you’re my idol! Not just students, I think anyone would be drawn to this newspaper! Especially this psychology test, it’s so fun!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Lin Qin smirked with satisfaction, "If there are no issues, let’s speed up the printing over the weekend, and distribute it around the dorms on Monday. Also, I collaborated with a newspaper to make money; people outside the campus have to pay to see our E Newspaper."

Ge Qiuyue’s eyes brightened, "That’s a good approach, let’s work hard and aim to recover the investment in E Society."

Du Juanhua nodded firmly, "Sister Qin did all this to stand up for me, so if there’s any dirty or tiring work in the future, just let me know, I’ll handle it."

Lin Qin chuckled, "No need, no need, from now on everyone is part of E Society, just help me collect information and do the printing."

Everyone nodded in unison.

During the weekend, Lin Qin was busy with E Society matters and didn’t go home.

Finally, on Monday, early in the morning, the 301 dormitory delivered the first issue of the E Society newspaper to every dormitory in the teacher’s college.

One copy per dorm, even the teacher’s dorms were not missed.

Zhou Kai woke up early and found a copy of the newspaper wedged under his dormitory door. The student newspaper distributes between eight and nine in the morning, so this was clearly not theirs.

Curious, Zhou Kai didn’t even bother to wash up and flipped through it for just over ten minutes.

Zhou Kai then stormed out of his dorm room with a dark face, heading straight to Jia Pengxuan’s dorm, "Jia Pengxuan, get out here!"

Early in the morning, with some still not up, Zhou Kai’s commotion woke everyone up.

Unhappy, Jia Pengxuan opened the door, "What’s going on?"

Zhou Kai threw the newspaper into his arms, "See for yourself!"

Skeptical, Jia Pengxuan unfolded the newspaper, turning visibly pale after reading it, "E Society Newspaper? When did our school have this newspaper? Who dared to publish a private newspaper without our permission?"

"Who are you asking? Look at what’s written! It explicitly names us; this matter has seriously affected our student newspaper’s credibility and must be addressed immediately!" Zhou Kai was a bundle of nerves.

Remembering the newspapers not yet distributed, Jia Pengxuan’s face turned white, "Oh no! This issue of the newspaper..."

"What’s wrong with this issue?" Zhou Kai asked, then suddenly realized something and angrily grabbed Jia Pengxuan by the collar, "What have you done again?"

Jia Pengxuan’s eyes flickered, avoiding Zhou Kai’s gaze, "I didn’t do much, just some follow-up reporting."

"Stupid! Go to the newspaper office and intercept those papers immediately!" Zhou Kai cursed at Jia Pengxuan, rushed to the student newspaper office without even brushing his teeth, and was relieved to find that the current issue hadn’t been distributed. After carefully checking the contents, he almost spat out blood.

Coincidentally, Jia Pengxuan and other newspaper members arrived.

Zhou Kai angrily provided a telling-off to everyone, especially Jia Pengxuan, "When Lin Qin came to us for an explanation last week, I advised you to issue a clarification in this issue. What did you say in my face? And now look what you’ve done?

Jia Pengxuan, let me tell you, if the newspaper office gets into trouble because of you, you’ll be the biggest culprit, and you can’t bear that responsibility!"

Jia Pengxuan panicked, both anxious and agitated, even turning red, "President, I didn’t expect them to be so capable, to actually manage to publish a newspaper openly against us, what do we do now?"

"Who are you asking?" Zhou Kai roared, angrily pounding the table.

There was one thing Jia Pengxuan was right about; he also didn’t expect Lin Qin to be so relentless, creating such a grand spectacle just to fight back and even targeting the student newspaper. Did she even understand the student newspaper’s status at the school?

What made him more uneasy was, what if this got to the school leaders...
