Chapter 8: Campus Beauty Contest

After a few hours, the four roommates in Chu Zifeng's dormitory had gotten to know each other a bit. Qi Bai and the other three all knew that Chu Zifeng was an orphan, but they did not discriminate against him. It seemed that the three friends Chu Zifeng made upon arriving at Yanjing University were quite good.

Qi Bai, as he had said, came from a wealthy family, a young master of a prominent household. However, Qi Bai's family was a smaller prominent household, running a mobile phone business with ten branches in Hangzhou. This was already quite good for Qi Bai, and at least in the eyes of Chu Zifeng and the others, Qi Bai was already a young master of a prominent household.

Ding Yun was from Tianjin. Despite wearing glasses, he was not an intellectual but a thoroughgoing womanizer, one who could not live without women.

As for Zhong Ming, he came from a rural area, and his family's economic conditions were decent, as Zhong Ming said his father was the village chief.

"Third and Fourth, come and take a look, what's this thing?"

In the dormitory, Qi Bai was playing on the computer and entered the Yanjing University forum, where he saw a very interesting post.

Zhong Ming, who was reading a web novel, came over to Qi Bai's side and looked at the post on Qi Bai's computer screen. The post contained many photos of beautiful women, and under each photo were popularity and voting scores.

Zhong Ming said, "This is the school's beauty contest ranking. I and Ding Yun already knew about it yesterday."

"Are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasted my whole afternoon."

"You didn't ask."

"When does this ranking end?" Qi Bai asked.

Zhong Ming looked at the time and said, "Soon, it ends at two o'clock. Because at two o'clock, the registration for new students also ends, and all the beautiful women's information has been entered into the ranking."

"Damn, that only leaves ten minutes."

"Exactly."

Chu Zifeng, who was standing nearby, showed no excitement at all and said, "Don't forget, at two o'clock, we have to attend the class meeting. This is our first class meeting at Yanjing University and our first time meeting the class advisor. If we're late, it will leave a bad impression on the class advisor."

Qi Bai looked at Chu Zifeng and said, "I thought the second one with glasses was a bookworm, but it turns out the fourth one, you, are handsome and talented, the real bookworm. Today, as the leader, I'll teach you that in this university, everything depends on yourself. Conquering the world depends on yourself, dating girls depends on yourself, even studying depends on yourself. Others can't help you, and the class advisor certainly won't help you."

Chu Zifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He naturally knew about university life, but without studying, how could he achieve good grades and have a future? He was different from Qi Bai, and as Qi Bai said, everything had to depend on himself.

"Quick, look, the top-ranked beauty is called Xiao Jing, nicknamed 'Pure Beauty,' a senior in the Fine Arts Department; the second is called Wu Xia'ai, nicknamed 'Versatile Witch,' a junior in the Computer Science Department; the third... surprisingly, it's a freshman in the Architecture Department, called Song Yun'er, nicknamed 'Little Fairy'... Damn, she's even a Eurasian beauty!"

"Leader, don't be in a hurry, Wu Xia'ai's votes have surpassed Xiao Jing again... Refresh, quick, refresh..."

"I'm already refreshing!"

"Great, our freshman Eurasian beauty is in the lead."

"Strange, freshmen arrived at least three days ago, why is she so popular? Could it be that Song Yun'er, the Eurasian beauty, is even more stunning in real life?"

"Leader, look, Wu Xia'ai is back on top, in first place."

Chu Zifeng interjected, "In this world, there's a profession called hacking. If I'm not mistaken, Wu Xia'ai must be a computer expert."

"Fourth, do you mean Wu Xia'ai is cheating?" Qi Bai asked.

"Didn't you notice her votes increasing strangely? Every time, it's 99 votes, not one more, not one less. Isn't that cheating?"

"Damn, actually cheating, bullying freshmen. Fourth, since you can spot the cheating, can you help our freshmen cheat too?"

Chu Zifeng waved his hand and said, "I have no interest in such trivial matters."

"Fourth, be a good boy, help your big brother. I'll do whatever you want tonight!"

Zhong Ming also said, "Fourth, show some mercy, help our freshman Eurasian beauty."

Chu Zifeng was helpless. These two guys were really infatuated, but if he let them continue, he couldn't bear it. So, Chu Zifeng took Qi Bai's laptop and said, "Just this once, don't ask me to do such despicable things again."

"Fourth, you're so naughty, you're happy inside but act tough."

"I just want to have a good meal tonight! Alright, you two, stay quiet and don't talk."

"Who's opposing me, don't they want to live?"

In a female dormitory, a furious voice erupted.

The other three girls in the dormitory ran over, and one of them asked, "Xia'ai, what's wrong?"

Wu Xia'ai looked at the computer screen and said, "This time, I've met a rival. They're helping the freshmen cheat... Fine, I want to see how capable that person is today."

"Xia'ai, cheer up, beat him to death." A girl in pajamas excitedly called out. Wu Xia'ai was a computer genius at Yanjing University, even their advisor had been defeated by her. Trying to play hacking with her was like asking for death.

"Xia'ai, hurry up, you're being overtaken again!"

Wu Xia'ai's fingers never stopped on the keyboard and said, "I don't know which technician added three firewalls just now. I'm still cracking them!"

"Xia'ai, it looks like the other side is cracking faster than you. The freshmen have already overtaken you by more than 300 votes."

"Xia'ai, it seems he's not only helping the freshmen but also helping Xiao Jing."

"Yes, this is clearly opposing us sisters... No, Xia'ai, you crack the firewalls, I'll check the IP address of that guy."

"Xia'ai, hurry up, there's no time left, only ten seconds!"

Ten, nine, eight... five... three... two, one.

The annual beauty contest voting at Yanjing University ended.

"Xia'ai, stay calm, stay calm..."

Wu Xia'ai raged, "Which bastard put me in third place, how despicable!"

"Exactly, he helped the freshmen, but why did he put Xiao Jing in first place and the freshmen in second, pushing us Xia'ai to the last place!"

"Qingqing, no matter what, find out the IP address of that guy, I'll take him down..."

"Xia'ai, don't be angry, I'm checking... But it seems the other side noticed me and has already logged off. Don't worry, give me some time, I'll check his account through the school's authority and see where the last login IP address is."

In Chu Zifeng's dormitory, Qi Bai and Zhong Ming both gave a thumbs up. Qi Bai laughed and said, "Great, Fourth, I didn't expect you to be so good with computers. Whoever you say is first, she won't be second... But I don't understand, why didn't you put our freshmen in first place?"

Chu Zifeng returned the laptop to Qi Bai and said, "After all, two of the three beauties are our seniors. We should give them some face. If Wu Xia'ai hadn't cheated first, I wouldn't have bothered."

"Ha, now our dormitory is awesome!"

"Hey, I warn you, don't tell anyone about today's incident, or we'll all be in trouble."

Zhong Ming said, "Right, I heard Wu Xia'ai is known for being ruthless. Today, Fourth was basically targeting her. If she finds out it was us, she'll come and bombard us."

"Who's afraid of her? If she dares to come, I'll fight her!"

"Leader, are you not afraid of being bombarded by all the male students in the school? Wu Xia'ai's admirers could form a company!"

Qi Bai swallowed and said, "Not that scary, a company... Fine, I'll keep quiet, I won't cause trouble for our brothers."

At 2:30 PM, Chu Zifeng and the others arrived at the classroom. Compared to the classrooms in middle school, this one was half as large and half as luxurious.

There were fifty students in the class, and Chu Zifeng and the others sat at the back, which was Qi Bai's idea. Otherwise, Chu Zifeng would have sat at the front.

"Third, Fourth, where did Second go? Why haven't we seen him since lunch?" Qi Bai asked.

"I asked Second to check our class advisor, to see what kind of person he is and if he's easy to get along with. After all, we have to spend four years under him."

Qi Bai gave a thumbs up and said, "You're great, you thought of that."

A few girls in the front turned around and waved at Chu Zifeng and the others. Qi Bai didn't hesitate, stood up, and smiled, "Hello, beauties, do you want big brother to keep you company?"

"Ha, you ugly guy, who's waving at you? We're waving at the handsome guy next to you." The girls in the front were very unhappy with Qi Bai.

"Damn, is it just Fourth who's handsome? I'm much better looking than him!"

Chu Zifeng smiled and said, "Speaking of looks, you're not that great, ha."

"Hey, handsome, want to have dinner together tonight?" A girl directly invited him.

Chu Zifeng said, "Sorry, I have plans tonight. If you want to invite me, please book in advance. These two next to me are my secretaries."

"Damn, Fourth, who are your secretaries... I, I'll strangle you..."

"Hey, hey, stop fooling around, Second is back."

Ding Yun ran into the classroom, out of breath, and sat next to Chu Zifeng and the others.

"Second, how did the investigation go?" Zhong Ming asked.

"Beautiful, beyond words!"

"What are you talking about? I asked you to check the class advisor, and you just say 'beautiful'?"

"I mean..."

"Everyone, be quiet, the class advisor is here."

Many eyes turned to the classroom door, and a woman in a lady's suit, a short skirt suit, walked in. She was about thirty years old, with her long hair tied up... Beautiful, beyond words.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Feifei, I'm your class advisor. You can call me class advisor, teacher, or Feifei. I don't care about formalities. As long as everyone has a good four years of university life, good grades, and a happy time, that's all I care about."

Xu Feifei was very straightforward, which might be her teaching method.

Whistle...

The classroom echoed with whistles, undoubtedly, it was Qi Bai who did it.

"Feifei beauty, can I take you out for a midnight snack tonight?"

Xu Feifei smiled and said, "You must be Qi Bai, right?"

"Ah! Feifei beauty, how do you know my name? I haven't introduced myself yet!"

"Not just you, I know the names of all the students in the class. The two next to you are Ding Yun and Zhong Ming... The student over there is... The one on the left is... The one by the window is... Finally, the student at the back must be the top student from Jiangxi Province, Chu Zifeng."

All eyes turned to Chu Zifeng again, and the girls who were swooning screamed...

"Handsome and the top student from Jiangxi... Hey, don't fight over him, he's mine."

"Ha, with your attitude, you don't deserve our Zifeng. He's mine..."

The girls started arguing, and Qi Bai and the others looked at Chu Zifeng in amazement. Qi Bai asked, "Fourth, I didn't expect you to be the top student from Jiangxi!"

That's right, Chu Zifeng was indeed the top student from Jiangxi Province, but he didn't care about this title. If he had tried, he wouldn't have just been the top student in Jiangxi, but the top student in the country.

Chu Zifeng, who grew up in an orphanage, was different from other children. Everything had to depend on himself, and no one could help him. So, Chu Zifeng worked hard from a young age and achieved great success.

Originally, Chu Zifeng's dream universities were Tsinghua and Peking, and he even wanted to study abroad. But Chu Zifeng knew his conditions. Tsinghua and Peking were too expensive, and the orphanage couldn't afford such high tuition, let alone studying abroad. So, Chu Zifeng intentionally underperformed during the college entrance exam, but he still accidentally became the top student in Jiangxi Province.

Chu Zifeng smiled indifferently and said, "Just luck, just luck!"

"Brother, don't be a show-off, show-offs get struck by lightning!"

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. Now, let's elect a class president." Xu Feifei said.

"Advisor, there's no need to elect. If Zifeng doesn't do it, who else has the qualifications?"

"Exactly, I vote for Zifeng, our Zifeng is the best..."

"I also vote for Chu Zifeng, he's an idol. I heard the top student from Jiangxi Province only scored three points less than the top student in the country!"

Not just the girls, even the boys were throwing admiring glances at Chu Zifeng!

Xu Feifei asked, "Chu Zifeng, what do you think?"

Chu Zifeng stood up and said, "Advisor, I don't think I have leadership skills. Let's choose someone else."

What's the point of being the king in a class? Chu Zifeng didn't have the time for that!

"Feifei beauty, since this guy doesn't want to be the class president, let me do it!" Qi Bai volunteered.

Xu Feifei thought for a moment, looked at the other students, and since even Chu Zifeng didn't want to be the class president, they had even less qualifications. Since Qi Bai wanted to be the class president, let him be.

"Since no one opposes, I announce that Qi Bai will be our class president from now on. You need to maintain good relationships with your classmates, and most importantly, don't let students from other classes or seniors bully you. If you get bullied, don't tell me, just win. As your advisor, I'll treat the whole class to a meal... Of course, on the condition that your grades are in the top three in the grade."

Qi Bai smiled and said, "Feifei beauty, don't worry. My grades aren't great, but when it comes to fighting, I'm a great leader."

Xu Feifei said, "Qi Bai, I didn't mean for you to fight... But if someone causes trouble for our class, you decide how to handle it."

"Ha, understood, absolutely understood."

Chu Zifeng didn't know what to say. Fortunately, he had the foresight to know that being the class president wasn't a good job, but he never expected that Xu Feifei, the class advisor, would be so different. It seemed that the next four years of university life would be colorful!
