Chapter 53: Act First and Report Later

"What method?" the Student Council President asked eagerly.

Li Qiuling gave him a meaningful look. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the two of them went to the empty classroom next door.

"President," Li Qiuling lowered her voice and said, "For the renowned experts lecture forum this weekend, we should still invite Chi Jun'an..."

"But Ji Xiaonuan refused to help," the Student Council President frowned. "Qiuling, do you think you can invite him?"

"President, you didn't understand what I meant." Li Qiuling's eyes flashed, and she sneered. "What I mean is, whether Ji Xiaonuan agrees or not, we'll tell the public that she has promised to help us invite Chi Jun'an. And it's best to publicize this so that the whole school knows about it!"

The Student Council President looked at her in confusion. "You mean we'll release the news first to force Ji Xiaonuan to invite Chi Jun'an for us? But what if Chi Jun'an doesn't come if she still refuses to help?"

"If Chi Jun'an comes, the credit will naturally be yours. Even if Chi Jun'an doesn't show up, people will only scold Ji Xiaonuan for deceiving them, not you. So what are you worried about?" Li Qiuling sneered.

The Student Council President suddenly understood. Doing this would indeed protect his reputation, but it was a bit unethical, and he hesitated a little.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Li Qiuling persuaded him again. "President, this lecture forum has been postponed for several sessions already, and the students have quite a few complaints. If we change our plans at the last minute this time, I'm afraid you'll really become the first Student Council President to mess up the renowned experts lecture forum!"

The Student Council President's expression changed several times, and finally, he made up his mind. "Okay, we'll do as you said!"

With the promotion of the Student Council, the news that Ji Xiaonuan had taken the initiative to invite Chi Jun'an to participate in the new session of the renowned experts lecture forum quickly spread throughout Q University.

Chi Jun'an had just made an appearance in front of the media a few days ago, and his popularity was still high. The students of Q University were especially curious about him. Moreover, he was originally a national heartthrob and a business prodigy. Just the mention of his name was enough to make the lecture hall full for this session.

In addition, the name paired with his was Ji Xiaonuan, the heroine of the gossip some time ago.

Ordinary people are more or less gossipy, and such publicity was simply irresistible to them.

As for Ji Xiaonuan, if it hadn't been for her roommate telling her, she might have remained in the dark as she was buried in her studies every day.

"What?!" Ji Xiaonuan looked at Lin Xin in surprise and asked in disbelief, "You said I'm going to invite Chi Jun'an? Why didn't I know about it?"

Lin Xin was stunned. She had thought that Ji Xiaonuan and Chi Jun'an had reconciled, but it turned out not to be the case at all? "There are posts on the school forum, and it was personally publicized by the Student Council." Lin Xin quickly opened the school forum.

After reading those posts, Ji Xiaonuan's face turned dark. "I didn't agree to this at all!"

She told Lin Xin and Xu Wenwen what had happened that day, and the two of them couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Sorry, Xiaoxi," Lin Xin said with guilt. "If I hadn't asked you to participate in the Student Council activity for me, this wouldn't have happened."

"It's not your fault," Ji Xiaonuan thought of Li Qiuling, and her face darkened a bit. "They're targeting me this time. Even if I hadn't gone, this would still have happened."

"Xiaoxi, they're trying to act first and report later to force you to invite Chi Jun'an," Lin Xin said. "If you manage to invite him, the Student Council will get the credit. If you can't, you'll bear the blame. There are already many people questioning that you're using this as an opportunity to hype yourself up and are crazy about getting famous."

Ji Xiaonuan's face darkened even more. She knew very well what Lin Xin was saying.

Xu Wenwen said worriedly, "Why don't we post a clarification post?"

"It's no use even if we do," Ji Xiaonuan shook her head. "Now that the Student Council has stabbed me in the back like this, even if I clarify, others will just think that I couldn't invite him and am backing out at the last minute. I can't escape being scolded."

"So what are you going to do now?" Lin Xin asked. "I don't care," Ji Xiaonuan buried her head in her books again. "Let the Student Council do whatever they want. If no one shows up in the end, I'm afraid the Student Council's reputation won't be any better either. I've already been scolded a lot anyway, so one more time doesn't matter."

Lin Xin and Xu Wenwen exchanged a look. They couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxi, what exactly happened between you and Chi Jun'an? Maybe you could give him a call. He might agree to come."

Ji Xiaonuan's eyes flashed, and a strange feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart.

These days, she had been trying to keep herself so busy that she had no time to think about Chi Jun'an.

But the more she tried not to think of him, the more his image appeared in her mind.

However, Chi Jun'an hadn't shown up again.

That's right. She had said such harsh words to him. Even if he had a little bit of affection for her, he wouldn't come to court her displeasure again.

"This has nothing to do with him, and don't bother him either," Ji Xiaonuan lowered her eyes. She simply packed her things. "I'm going to the library."

Seeing her leave like this, Lin Xin and Xu Wenwen exchanged a worried look.

"What should we do, Lin Xin?" Xu Wenwen said anxiously. "Xiaoxi has no intention of asking the male god for help and won't even let us contact him!" "Don't worry," Lin Xin smiled slyly. "We can contact Assistant Han. If Assistant Han tells Chi Jun'an about this, what does it have to do with us?"

"Right, let's do that!" Xu Wenwen nodded happily.

In the CEO's office of Chi Corporation, Han Siyuan briefly told Chi Jun'an what had happened at Q University.

Chi Jun'an frowned slightly.

Ji Xiaonuan's roommate had contacted Han Siyuan, which meant that Ji Xiaonuan knew about it, but she actually didn't contact him?

These days, he hadn't contacted Ji Xiaonuan, but not contacting didn't mean not caring.

He knew everything that happened around her.

This little girl had a strong aversion to him, and he had been waiting for her to contact him actively. But this girl was really heartless.

"President, should we arrange for you to go to Q University this weekend?" Han Siyuan asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" Chi Jun'an gave him a faint look.

Han Siyuan was confused. Did this mean he was going or not? He couldn't figure out Chi Jun'an's attitude towards Ji Xiaonuan at all.

"Go and contact the president of Q University!" Chi Jun'an said helplessly.

"I understand," Han Siyuan quickly agreed.

The weekend arrived soon. The auditorium of Q University was filled with students who had come to attend the lecture.

All the seats in the auditorium were occupied, and even the aisles were crowded with people. These people all wanted to see Chi Jun'an up close. Of course, there were also many who were waiting to see Ji Xiaonuan make a fool of herself.
