Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 1114 - 480: The Struggle Between New and Old Factions
"Oh, I'm going to the bathroom," Yin Songyue responded to Zheng Yanyan's interrogation calmly, as if it was only natural, not even giving Zheng Yanyan a second thought, and prepared to leave after speaking.
But who would have thought, Zheng Yanyan coldly retorted, "The bathroom? Who told you the bathroom was upstairs? Going to the bathroom and ending up in the conference room?"
Originally, Yin Songyue and Zheng Yanyan were about to pass by each other, but unexpectedly, Zheng Yanyan dropped this.
Yin Songyue's face turned a bit unpleasant.
The main reason was that Zheng Yanyan had no intention of saving face for Yin Songyue. The dance studio downstairs was a large open space, and Zheng Yanyan blocked Yin Songyue at the exit; initially, no one noticed the two of them.
But as Zheng Yanyan spoke up, it attracted a lot of attention.
Soon, a group of girls sitting there in class couldn't help but tilt their heads this way, whispering among themselves, asking, what's Director Zheng getting at?
Facing the students' whispering, Zheng Yanyan was not polite at all, thinking she might as well use Yin Songyue to assert her authority, and loudly said, "I spent a lot of money hiring teachers and finding venues for you to come here to learn how to catwalk, so you could shine for the department at the gala, not to come here to look for guys!"
"Some people better watch themselves, and don't even think about whether they look like something anyone would want, just because they're women!"
The last sentence was quite severe, clearly carrying personal emotions.
The main point was that Yin Songyue was brought by Zheng Yanyan, essentially considered her person.
She was listening to class just fine earlier, and Zheng Yanyan even learned a bit with them.
Then Tao Tian suddenly sent a message to Zheng Yanyan, telling her to talk with the kids in the Cultural Department.
This is a company after all, letting you in to study, but there are already complaints.
You're letting them run around like this.
People will think you're not disciplined.
The message from Tao Tian was also for Zheng Yanyan's sake, since it's no longer a small company, with fifty or sixty people.
But when Zheng Yanyan received the message, she was full of confusion.
She expressed that she didn't let these people run around like that.
When Tao Tian heard this, she was even more puzzled.
Didn't let them run around?
"Otherwise, see who's missing from your side?"
With Tao Tian's words, Zheng Yanyan remembered and looked up, realized Yin Songyue was indeed gone.
After understanding the situation from Tao Tian, Zheng Yanyan became fuming.
Without a word, she blocked Yin Songyue at the door; her outburst earlier was intentional.
The main issue was that Yin Songyue was too unruly.
How would people in the company see her?
But the problem is, Yin Songyue wasn't easy to deal with.
She was the most outstanding girl among the freshmen, beloved by both boys and girls, and yet Zheng Yanyan dared to speak like this?
Yin Songyue immediately got angry: "For the department's glory? Zheng Yanyan, can you stop flattering yourself?"
"Others might not know, but I do. You're just in your second year, would you become a director without Zhou Yuwen?"
"Spending Zhou Yuwen's money to prove yourself, wasting all our time? You think we actually want to be here? Ridiculous."
As soon as she finished, all the girls sitting there started whispering, and some even laughed.
Because what Yin Songyue said was true.
Zheng Yanyan was indeed a bit dictatorial; not everyone wanted to waste their time there.
Zheng Yanyan immediately felt humiliated.
Watching the departing Yin Songyue, she directly said, "You can leave! But the costume is from our department, take it off before you go!"
Zheng Yanyan still wanted to use this method to keep Yin Songyue in check.
But Yin Songyue was indeed stubborn. Hearing this, she sneered dismissively.
Without thinking, she started taking her clothes off on the spot.
After all, it was all girls there.
Besides, it wasn't like she wasn't wearing anything underneath; Yin Songyue had her underwear and briefs on.
She threw the clothes aside, then provocatively looked at Zheng Yanyan and asked, "Is this okay?"
This left Zheng Yanyan truly speechless.
Initially, Yin Songyue was about to leave, but after thinking a bit, she came back.
She said, oh right, you mentioned I was looking for a man?
"Do you think I'm looking for a man?"
"Don't overestimate your abilities, you're dating Zhou Yuwen just because I wasn't around for school back then. If I were, let's see who Zhou Yuwen would choose."
"Wow~"
As Yin Songyue finished, the whole room went into an uproar.
No loyalty.
Isn't this too bold?
How different is this from slamming it in her face?
After saying this, Yin Songyue left without looking back.
Zheng Yanyan was so angry her face turned green.
What the hell is she!
How dare she!
But Yin Songyue understood, knowing very well, that Zheng Yanyan was just the Cultural Department Director; when people are in a good mood, they'd call her Director, when they're not, she's nothing.
Only you think highly of yourself.
After the incident, Zheng Yanyan thought about targeting Yin Songyue, but Yin Songyue simply stopped coming to the Cultural Department.
Zheng Yanyan wanted to make sarcastic comments in the group, but she didn't even get a chance to say anything.
Yin Songyue had already left the group.
For a girl like her wanting to join a department, there would be plenty of departments vying for her, while Zheng Yanyan would be labeled as someone envious of talents. Especially after this incident, the word would definitely spread.
However, the narrative might be a bit off.
That the freshman campus beauty Yin Songyue is competing with Cultural Department Director Zheng Yanyan over a man?
Competing over a man?
Competing over who exactly?
Zhou Yuwen.
Come on, seriously, what's so charming about Zhou Yuwen? Isn't School Belle Yin uninterested in everyone?
Does she know Zhou Yuwen?
Does it matter if they know each other?
Who wouldn't want to be Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend?
Oh, it's over, over.
Didn't expect the goddess to be so worldly.
Because of this, Zhou Yuwen, who wasn't often at school, inexplicably took the fall, and rumors spread that the freshman school belle had a crush on him. But the problem is, he doesn't even know Yin Songyue.
Naturally, Zheng Yanyan was furious about this, threatening to teach Yin Songyue a lesson.
Today's young people really have no regard for seniors anymore.
Seeing Zheng Yanyan upset, several girls around her tried to console her.
Especially Tao Tian, who smiled and said, "Don't keep calling them young people, they're just a year younger than you. Besides, didn't you do the same to me last year?"
"How can that be the same?" Zheng Yanyan pouted. "Last year, Zhou Yuwen was my boyfriend, and you tried to steal him from me. What's wrong with how I treated you?"
"And who does this Yin Songyue think she is? A little girl who wants to snatch a man from me? I have to teach her a lesson, or how will I stand my ground in school, right, honey?" Zheng Yanyan sought Zhou Yuwen's support.
At this moment, several people were in the villa, so Zhou Yuwen was there too.
However, Zhou Yuwen was noncommittal about what Zheng Yanyan said, saying, "Why bother about these trivial school matters."
"Your position as the Cultural Department Director is already controversial. I say just quit and stop causing trouble."
Hearing Zhou Yuwen say this made Zheng Yanyan a bit unhappy.
Actually, Zhou Yuwen was just telling the truth.
But the issue is, that's just how Zheng Yanyan is. She doesn't want to let go of anything given to her.
Everyone says she can't do a good job as Cultural Department Director, so she is determined to try.
Just wait, everyone will see her capability after the freshman welcome party.
The freshman welcome party is on October 8th, with a small break before on National Day. Due to this issue, Zheng Yanyan's position in the Cultural Department was affected, but since she had Zhou Yuwen's support, she continued her role as Director.
Not to mention, regarding the earlier comments saying that Zheng Yanyan got dumped by Zhou Yuwen but still clings to him shamelessly!
In this kind of situation, Zhou Yuwen surely had to support Zheng Yanyan.
During their free time, they'd order a round of Starbucks and have assistants bring them down to share with the freshmen.
Ask them if they're tired? Senior Brother Zhou got them some milk tea.
Zhou Yuwen doesn't like drinking Starbucks, but these youngsters do. Seeing Starbucks makes their eyes light up—it's 30 yuan a cup! Senior Brother Zhou is generous!
Zhou Yuwen said he knows everyone is exhausted from rehearsing.
But he hopes they understand, because Yanyan is also considering the department's interests.
"I've prepared your costumes; they can be delivered tomorrow. You can choose whichever you like, and take them as a gift for your contribution to the Cultural Department."
Zhou Yuwen appeared amiable and indeed had the demeanor of a gentle and elegant boss.
Some young freshmen girls were instantly charmed, sweetly expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Brother, you're the best~"
Mind you, they usually only see Zhou Yuwen in the news, but now they got to see him in person.
Zhou Yuwen looks even more handsome than in pictures.
Most importantly, Senior Brother Zhou is super gentle!
A group of girls sipped their Starbucks while quietly chatting about Zhou Yuwen.
And at this moment, Zheng Yanyan's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Especially with Zhou Yuwen joking and laughing with her in front of everyone.
Had everyone gossiping in various ways.
Thinking, could Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan have gotten back together?
It makes sense, otherwise, why would Zhou Yuwen lend the company venue to Zheng Yanyan?
At this time, Zheng Yanyan was extremely moved, and she asked Zhou Yuwen why he suddenly came.
Zhou Yuwen told her, wasn't it obvious?
"You're still my wife, after all."
"If I don't help you, am I really going to let others bully you?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanyan felt even more touched and called Zhou Yuwen naughty.
Zhou Yuwen asked her how he was being naughty.
"Hmph!"
Zheng Yanyan huffed sweetly.
After this incident, Zheng Yanyan's reputation immediately recovered and even flourished, with many people posting on social media about drinking Senior Brother Zhou's milk tea.
"Thanks, Senior Brother Zhou, you're amazing, and so is Sister Yanyan!"
In their social media posts, although they look like student selfies, there's interaction between Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan in the background, and they truly look like a gorgeous couple.
Initially, everyone did have some complaints about Zheng Yanyan taking extracurricular time for rehearsals.
But with Zhou Yuwen stepping up to explain and even buying costumes and milk tea, what's a little time compared to that?
Plus, some people are a bit envious of the students who get to rehearse.
They get to see Zhou Yuwen.
Some girls, who initially supported Yin Songyue in confronting the so-called school "darks forces," started making sarcastic remarks.
Even saying, "Senior Brother Zhou and Sister Yanyan are a perfect match!"
When Yin Songyue heard comments like these, it naturally hurt her.
In her heart, she would probably think, "What's so great about that? It's just relying on a man."
But who cares what she says?
In fact, Yin Songyue was indeed overshadowed by Zheng Yanyan.
But, of course, Yin Songyue wouldn't take it lying down.
She would surely come out on top eventually.
