Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 690 Xu Youyu's Dark Secret
Zhang Jiale was sitting in the back row of classroom 101 in the administrative building of the School of Arts at this time, and he felt that his choice was absolutely correct.

Except for two sophomore seniors and two freshman boys, all other members of the External Relations Department are girls!
And to be honest, the quality of the girls in the External Relations Department is really high...

He Hailu is quite pretty. Her short hair makes her look quite capable. When she stands on the podium and speaks, she exudes a confident beauty from the inside out.

Among the sophomores, pretty girls like Jiang Feiya are not uncommon. Every time I see her, I can see that she is wearing exquisite makeup.

Among the freshmen, girls like Xu Yinghuan and Ren Zheng are also very cute.

There are even girls like Shen Shuhua who have the charm of a Jiangnan girl. Zhang Jiale feels his heart beat fast just by secretly taking a glance at her profile.

Of course, the most amazing one is obviously senior sister Xu Youyu.

Zhang Jiale turned his head to look at Xu Youyu, who was two rows ahead of him on the left. Occasionally, he caught a glimpse of her profile as she turned her head to talk to the boy next to her, and his eyes couldn't help but be attracted.

It's so pretty!

Obviously, there are other pretty girls too, but once my eyes fall on Xu Youyu's face, it becomes difficult for me to consider the other girls' looks in my mind.

pity……

Zhang Jiale's eyes fell on Li Luo's back and he couldn't help but sigh.

During the recent military training period, the news had already spread among the freshman group of the Class of 2017 of their School of Arts.

It is said that the monitor of the Humanities Class 1 is of great background. He is a very famous online writer and composer. Even the original novel of the TV series "Little Joy" which was very popular during the summer vacation was written by him.

There are already many high school students who read online articles. Although many of those who are admitted to Qianjiang University will not be too addicted to it, Li Luo is too famous.

The original book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" may not be as well-known due to its limited entertainment subject matter.

But as soon as "Daqian Night Patrol" was published, the name of Rekindled spread completely in the online literature circle.

Not to mention that during the summer vacation, news was flying around about a platinum writer who became the top scorer in Qianjiang Province.

Although not everyone reads the trending searches on Weibo, there are many people in the freshman group.

As everyone chatted, the discussion became heated, and naturally some people with ulterior motives would go and check and verify it.

So the news about Li Luo gradually spread among the freshmen of the School of Arts.

After Zhang Jiale learned more about it, he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

So after learning that senior Xu Youyu and Li Luo were in a relationship, he completely gave up his little thoughts.

They are the perfect match...the beautiful woman and the talented man, a perfect match.

Zhang Jiale was quite self-aware in this regard, so he only dared to secretly admire Xu Youyu, and then turned his attention to other girls.

Well...that girl named Xu Yinghuan is so lively and energetic.

The girl next to her named Ren Zheng is also good.

And there is Shen Shuhua, who always speaks in a soft voice, so pretty.

Zhang Jiale listened to He Hailu speaking on the podium, and from time to time he would glance at the girls in the department.

Finally, he lowered his head, glanced at a candy in his hand, and his gaze finally fell on Xu Yinghuan.

Xu Yinghuan shared this candy with classmates in the department after she came in.

Although he feels that Shen Shuhua is prettier than Xu Yinghuan, Zhang Jiale feels that Xu Yinghuan's personality is easier to get along with.

Holding the candy tightly in his hand, Zhang Jiale carefully peeled off the outer candy wrapper, then put the candy into his mouth and savored it carefully.

Quite sweet.

After the party is over, find a chance to add each other on WeChat?
Just as all kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Jiale's mind, Li Luo and Xu Youyu were still whispering to each other, while He Hailu had officially entered the main topic of the regular meeting.

"In addition to handling some daily school affairs, the student union of our School of Arts is mainly responsible for some activities within our school, as well as coordinating with some activity cooperation requests from the school student union."

"Any tasks related to connecting with businesses, companies, factories, friendly schools or celebrities outside the school are within the scope of our external relations department's work."

"In general, it can be simply divided into three parts."

"First, we need to coordinate with other departments on the needs of activities and tasks."

“Second, we need to keep in touch with surrounding businesses and partner companies to secure sponsorship for our activities.”

"Third, we will provide the corresponding materials for the activities, connect with merchants or factories to meet their needs, and ensure the quality of the materials while keeping the cost as low as possible."

"In short, our main task is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the student union."

He Hailu briefly summarized the main functions of the External Relations Department, and then asked with a smile, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask now.

Those who can join the External Relations Department are more or less relatively extroverted, while some come here to hone their social skills.

So there was no dull moment in the classroom. For example, Xu Yinghuan actively raised her hand to ask questions.

Li Luo was the quietest one. After all, his hand under the table was still playing with Xu Youyu's thigh.

It wasn't him who wanted to touch it...it was mainly because Xu Youyu insisted on pulling his hand over to touch it, and Li Luo couldn't refuse, so he could only satisfy Sister Youyu's small request.

"Don't you have any questions?" Xu Youyu leaned over to Li Luo's ear and whispered, "Look at the others, how active they are."

"I'm also very active." Li Luo pinched Xu Youyu's thigh hard.

"Yeah, if that's the case, you are indeed very proactive." Xu Youyu laughed, glanced down, and then quietly reached out his hand.

Li Luo was originally enjoying the delicate skin on Xu Youyu's thigh, feeling quite comfortable, but his body stiffened the next second. He turned his head to look at Xu Youyu, and saw her staring at him with a smile.

Li Luo quickly turned his head and looked at Xu Yinghuan on the other side.

Xu Yinghuan noticed that Li Luo turned his head and also turned to look at him with a puzzled expression: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing..." Li Luo put down his right hand, blocking Xu Yinghuan's downward sight, and then pretended to be casual and said, "I just suddenly remembered, did our brother Jun sign up for any department this time?"

"No." Xu Yinghuan didn't doubt him and spread her hands helplessly, "I wanted him to try more, but he said he still wanted to focus on his studies, so he didn't join the department."

"Why didn't I say I wanted to spend more time with you?" Li Luo said with a smile.

"Do you think Ah Jun is you?" Xu Yinghuan rolled her eyes at Li Luo. "I just like his honesty. Save your sweet talk for Zhu Sheng and the others. Don't teach Ah Jun bad things."

"Okay, okay, as long as you two are happy." Li Luo smiled and chatted with Xu Yinghuan, while silently retracting his left hand from Xu Youyu's thigh, and then quickly pressed down this guy's right hand and finally pulled it back.

Xu Youyu was laughing on the other side. After Li Luo finished talking, he leaned over to his ear and asked, "Is it exciting?"

"You better take it easy." Li Luo turned his head and reminded her in her ear, "There are surveillance cameras in the classroom."

"I know." Xu Youyu winked at him, "The surveillance camera can't see under the table."

Xu Youyu obviously liked this tune very much. After such a while, it seemed that there were lines in his eyes, which made Li Luo's heart furious.

At this time, He Hailu had finished introducing the basic situation of the External Relations Department, so she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Then next, let's start introducing ourselves."

"In order to prevent our juniors from feeling awkward and restrained when they go on stage for the first time, our seniors will set an example first."

"Youyu, you come first?" Xu Youyu was still whispering to Li Luo at this moment. When the minister suddenly called his name, he quickly turned his head, stood up hurriedly, and walked towards the podium: "I am coming."

"Someone should be careful about the impact." He Hailu crossed her arms and said helplessly, "Don't forget your position as deputy minister just because your boyfriend is around."

"Ahem... Minister, I was wrong." Xu Youyu clasped his hands together and begged for mercy. Then he walked to the podium, greeted the audience with a smile, and briefly introduced himself.

It wasn't just freshman boys like Zhang Jiale sitting in the audience. Even the two sophomores who had seen Xu Youyu many times couldn't help but stare at him when they looked at him face to face.

pity……

"Oh, right." After Xu Youyu introduced himself, he pointed at Li Luo in the audience and said, "That one over there is my boyfriend. Don't fight with me for him when we divide the groups later."

"You Yu, you're going a bit too far." Another sophomore student in the audience laughed and joked, "Li Luo is such an outstanding junior, I also want to fight for him."

"Get lost." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at her. "How can you talk to the deputy minister?"

"Oh my, what a powerful official. Sister Hailu, look at her. You are still the minister, but she dares to abuse her power for personal gain."

"Zhu Caiying, I think you are itching for trouble, right?" Xu Youyu laughed, "I've finished talking, come up and introduce yourself."

"Come on." Zhu Caiying stood up with a smile, walked to the podium, and after a brief self-introduction, she did not continue to tease Xu Youyu and Li Luo.

It can be seen that they get along well with each other in private.

After the sophomores had finished introducing themselves, it was finally Li Luo and his friends' turn.

Li Luo did not hesitate and was the first to stand up and go on stage. After a brief introduction, he returned to his seat.

After a round of self-introductions, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

He Hailu took out a draft paper, tore off a stack of paper from it, and handed it to everyone present: "Write down the team leader and team member you want on it."

“You can write as many as you want and then match them based on your own wishes.”

"There are six of us sophomores, so we will be divided into six groups."

"In the future, the two groups will be responsible for sponsorship docking, mainly Xu Youyu and Jiang Feiya."

"The other two groups are responsible for connecting with the manufacturers and materials, and they are handed over to Zhu Caiying and Hu Xiuyuan."

"The last two groups are responsible for internal coordination with other student union departments."

“Everyone can choose the seniors they want to follow based on the work they are interested in.”

After saying that, He Hailu handed the time over to everyone.

A few minutes later, the papers were collected. He Hailu took Xu Youyu to check the contents of the papers and quickly announced the grouping.

Not surprisingly, Li Luo was assigned to Xu Youyu's command.

And because there are only eleven freshmen, the other five sophomore secretaries were assigned to two teams. Only the deputy director Xu Youyu had only Li Luo under him.

"You didn't plan this from the beginning, did you?" When He Hailu announced the grouping, Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu beside him with suspicion, "There must be something fishy going on here."

"Do you still need to ask this kind of question?" Xu Youyu laughed, "Otherwise, do you think I'm serving as deputy minister for nothing?"

"Minister He actually allowed you to do this?"

"If it were anyone else, they might be able to choke you, but it's different for you." Xu Youyu kindly reminded, "You may not know the value of your father's hot pot restaurant in our External Relations Department, right?"

"To put it simply, as long as our college has any activities that require sponsorship, Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot will never miss any sponsorship opportunity."

"Almost everyone in our College of Arts has received coupons for Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot."

"It's even becoming the first choice for various departments in our college to have dinner together."

"You, the son of a hot pot restaurant owner, coming to our External Relations Department is like the eldest son of the empire visiting a vassal state."

Li Luo couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard her metaphor.

He had heard Li Guohong say before that because of his good relationship with Xu Rongsheng, he would basically agree to sponsor anything the External Relations Department of the School of Arts approached him.

But I didn't expect that two years after taking over the hot pot restaurant, my father turned it into an exclusive hot pot restaurant for the College of Arts.

However, this is also related to Li Guohong’s different pursuits.

Ordinary hotpot restaurant owners are all trying to make money.

Li Guohong was the same at the beginning, but later, as his son earned more and more money and he himself did not have any particularly large expenses, his desire to make money weakened a lot.

Now running a hotpot restaurant, Li Guohong enjoys more of the down-to-earth happiness.

Therefore, the sponsorship is quick and easy, there are many coupons, and the prices are more affordable than those of surrounding hot pot restaurants.

In addition, the store itself is owned by the company and there is no pressure of rent. After operating for two years, it has gradually become the first choice for hotpot for college students and teachers.

It’s cheap and affordable, and the taste is no worse than other hot pot restaurants.

In addition, the opening of Times Paradise this summer has greatly increased the flow of people to Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot, which is located at the intersection of West Street and Ningshan Avenue.

Nowadays, business is becoming more and more prosperous.

Li Guohong no longer thought about making more money, but instead his monthly income was increasing rapidly.

It is truly a magical sight.

While Li Luo and Xu Youyu were whispering to each other, He Hailu also announced the other groupings.

Because Ren Zheng didn't want to do the on-campus liaison work, she chose the off-campus liaison team and was assigned to work under senior Hu Xiuyuan.

Shen Shuhua and another girl followed Jiang Feiya to do things.

Xu Yinghuan was recruited by Zhu Caiying, in addition to Zhang Jiale.

After learning that he and Xu Yinghuan were accepted by the same senior schoolmate, Zhang Jiale showed some surprise on his face, feeling that this was probably the fate arranged by God.

So he plucked up his courage, found Xu Yinghuan's account in the External Relations Department's QQ group, and chatted with her privately to ask if she wanted to add him on WeChat.

After receiving a reply of approval and successfully adding the other party on WeChat, Zhang Jiale felt even happier.

"Okay, it's almost time." He Hailu glanced at her phone, then smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "It's almost five o'clock, let's go to the dinner party!"

After hearing what the minister said, everyone stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Li Luo walked out of the classroom with Xu Youyu, and heard Xu Youyu whisper in his ear:

"From now on you will be one of my soldiers. You must behave well, okay?"

Li Luo glanced at him and said jokingly, "Senior Xu should know whether I performed well or not, right?"

"Humph, what's the use of a disobedient soldier?"

"Senior Xu, you should be happy to have a soldier who charges into the enemy camp and fights bravely."
