America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

"Wow, what an admirable bottom line."

Chen Yuan suddenly stood up, looking down at Olivia not far ahead, his tone full of sarcasm:

"Then please explain to everyone here. Late last night in the student council office, in order to prepare these smear materials to suppress minority businesses in the South District, you not only illegally and excessively used the public printing resources belonging to all students, but you even used the student council's public activity funds to privately order a deluxe vegetarian pizza for your team for two hundred US dollars!"

Olivia was slightly taken aback, then realized that the "minority merchants" Chen Yuan mentioned were referring to herself, and couldn't help but reveal a mocking sneer.

It's just some printing supplies, what's the big deal?

As for the $200 expense for food delivery, it was originally just an accounting flaw that was planned to be covered up under any pretext or paid out of pocket during the year-end audit. How can that be used as a weapon to attack her?

However, Chen Yuan gave her no chance to explain, and continued to apply pressure forcefully:

"A $200 takeout order might seem insignificant to a privileged new Ivy League elite like you. But this money comes from activity fees paid by tens of thousands of ordinary USC students!"

"Although most students at our school come from relatively well-off families, many still carry a heavy burden of student loans."

Chen Yuan stared intently into Olivia's eyes, then suddenly raised his voice.

"And yet you used the hard-earned money of poor students to buy deluxe pizzas for your clique, just to hastily prepare a political propaganda piece to bring down a low-income Chinese fast-food restaurant!"

Olivia opened her mouth, about to retort. But Chen Yuan didn't give her a chance to breathe, launching a second bombshell like a machine gun:

"Not only that! On the very morning your team disrupted my business in front of my shop, you secretly kept three meals intended for donation to the homeless in the community and gave them to your associates!"

Chen Yuan's face revealed undisguised contempt, and his voice boomed throughout the hall:

"Have you ever visited the Blessing Home in the South District and seen with your own eyes the homeless people who have to queue for over an hour in the cold wind for a hot meal? To you, it might just be three cheap, insignificant boxed meals. But to them, it's their only life-saving dinner in days!"

Chen Yuan shook his head in disappointment: "Of course you don't know. All you need to do is use the school's funds to buy food, then have the community volunteers distribute it for you, and finally take all the credit for your 'Blue Lung Project'."

Then, he took out his phone from his pocket, quickly opened Su Nian's TT account, and turned the screen towards everyone present.

In the video, Su Nian, along with Hu Dan and Emily, is personally distributing hot fried chicken and squid pieces to homeless people.

"It's one thing for you high and mighty elites to be unwilling to do things yourself! But my Chinese classmates and I are willing to contribute to community service, and yet we've been subjected to your baseless and malicious smear campaign!"

Chen Yuan slammed his hands on the table and said angrily:

"Your actions are nothing short of using environmental protection as a pretext to misappropriate public resources and engage in systemic class bullying against ethnic minorities!"

Chen Yuan finally finished speaking. The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The impassioned accusation still seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

With the support of the "Basic Public Narrative Mastery" course, Chen Yuan's body language and intonation perfectly matched the rhythm of American equal rights speeches, making them highly persuasive and inflammatory.

All eyes immediately turned to Olivia.

The usually arrogant policy official was now pale. She opened her mouth as if to defend herself, but found herself completely trapped by Chen Yuan's grand narrative, not knowing where to begin.

After all, all of Chen Yuan's accusations against her were factually true.

On the morning of the day she organized the environmental protection group to protest in front of Rongding Pavilion, Olivia remembers that she did indeed casually take three vegetarian meals that were originally intended for charity and give them to a few girls in the team who hadn't had time to eat breakfast.

After all, there were over a hundred boxed meals purchased with the campus charity fund, and no one would bother to count if two or three were missing.

Last night, in order to expedite the hearing report on Rongding Pavilion, she and her team did indeed borrow a high-end printer from the council office and paid for their supper using the council's public account.

These were originally just minor privileges that student politicians tacitly agreed upon, and other parliamentary officials did the same thing.

A few boxed meals and $200 are nothing, it's not a big deal at all.

However, if someone were to investigate this matter as thoroughly as Chen Yuan did and escalate it to a major level, it would undoubtedly become a serious scandal involving embezzlement and racial discrimination!

Even if Olivia denies it now, the truth can be found out instantly if the other party retrieves the surveillance footage or payment records from that time.

What terrified Olivia the most at this moment was how Chen Yuan knew about these things.

Could there be a mole within my team?

But he was just an ordinary Chinese student. Even if he owned a small restaurant, he definitely didn't have the financial resources or connections to bribe her elites, right?

Or perhaps, other political enemies in the student council were secretly tipping off Chen Yuan, using him as a pawn to kill him?

As the student council's policy director, Olivia certainly has many formidable competitors.

But who exactly orchestrated such a grand scheme?

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, the tightly closed door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a clear voice with a hint of laziness and mockery rang out:

"What a brilliant speech! I never imagined that our policy affairs officer, who always champions fairness and justice, would be publicly accused of racial discrimination and embezzlement. This is truly unprecedented in the history of USC."

Everyone looked in astonishment at the sound and saw a girl in a black dress appear at the office door.

She had dazzling, slightly wavy blonde hair. Her deep blue eyes were fixed on Olivia, whose face was ashen, at the far end of the long table, with a half-smile on her face.

"Vivian Sinclair..."

Olivia looked at the newcomer, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"This is the student council. Please address me as the vice president."

Vivian walked slowly into the office in her high heels, adding as she did so:

"I was only a few minutes late. But judging from everyone's expressions, it seems you've already reached some interesting conclusion?"

When Vivian's smiling eyes swept over him, Chen Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

Although he had a fairly "pleasant" collaboration with Vivian in Long Beach just over ten days ago.

But he also knew very well that this did not mean that the other party would speak up for him in a formal setting like the student council.

So Chen Yuan met Vivian's gaze without flinching and continued to exert pressure in a firm tone:

"I believe that the person in charge, Ms. Green, exhibits serious systemic bias against minorities and is suspected of misappropriating public resources. Therefore, all her accusations against me personally, and against international student Su Nian, are unreasonable in both procedure and motivation!"

Upon hearing this accusation, Olivia's mind went blank! She finally understood!

It must have been Vivian who revealed those financial details to Chen Yuan!

After all, as long as the "Blue Lung Project" campus environmental protection issue she spearheaded is successfully completed, she will gain extremely high praise and prestige among students.

Therefore, in the next parliamentary election, she will definitely be Vivian's strongest opponent in the race for the seat of parliament speaker!

Moreover, Vivian and Chen Yuan were in the same major, so there must be some kind of secret collusion between them!

This time, she really miscalculated! Olivia never expected that Chen Yuan, an ordinary Chinese student who seemed to have no background, would actually climb up the high branch of the Sinclair family and become her white glove for attacking dissidents!

However, just as Olivia was feeling incredibly frustrated and desperate, thinking that she was destined to fail miserably today.

But then Vivian, standing beside the long table, parted her red lips slightly and smiled at Chen Yuan:

"Your defense just now was truly moving, Chen."

"But putting Olivia's personal character aside, your restaurant is indeed not legally qualified to collaborate with USC on a CPT program, is it?"
