Li Jing was almost driven to despair by Wang Zikai. She could not have imagined that the first two people to come on stage to speak would both recommend Lin Feng for student council deputy chairperson. If this continues, the situation is going to be bad!

I can't wait any longer! Regardless of how hurried and impolite she seemed, Li Jing didn't care. She appeared below the stage before Wang Zikai stepped down, ready to go up and give her speech...

Li Jing took this action, intending to suppress the arrogance of Lin Feng's "faction." However, the misinformed audience misunderstood!

The student council members watched as Li Jing, who had recently confessed her feelings to Lin Feng, rushed onto the stage in a hurry, and couldn't help but let out a wave of boos...

"Tsk... Li Jing's confession failed. Is she now rushing over to suck up to Lin Feng?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's love turned to hate, and she's here to undermine Lin Feng!"

"First, the head of the Organization Department lavished him with praise, then the deputy head of the Sports Department sycophantically chimed in, and now even the head of the Study Department wants to curry favor... This Lin Feng really seems to be something!"

"You think so? He also saved Chairman Li Leping and was commended by the school. During the preparations for the freshman welcoming ceremony, he was very close to the department head! Lin Feng is definitely no simple character; he's a true dragon crossing the river!"

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to this..."

Hearing these whispers, Li Jing harbored great resentment against Lin Feng. It's all because of Lin Feng's nonsense that I'm under this pressure! But these whispers also made Li Jing realize something. When I give my speech, I can't mention Lin Feng! Whether I want to flatter him or deliberately belittle him, it will be misunderstood by others!

Wang Zikai stood on stage, praising Lin Feng to the skies for over two minutes until he was practically foaming at the mouth. Finally realizing he had run out of words, he bowed awkwardly, offered his thanks, and stepped down. As he departed, he even gave Lin Feng an "OK" sign, looking like a complete lackey, which left everyone speechless.

After Li Jing took the stage, she was met with countless boos and laughs even before she started speaking. Despite her strong mental resilience, she found it hard to stand under such a hostile atmosphere. She became flustered, and her voice naturally stumbled.

By the time Li Jing struggled through her speech, reading from her notes, her mind had gone completely blank...

It's over! Li Jing knew her performance had been miserable. Nervousness, stage fright, forgotten lines, misspeaking—I made every mistake imaginable, and then some... This performance is so terrible. Forget competing for student council deputy chairperson; I can't even compare to the most ordinary freshman officer. Beating Lin Feng head-on? That's just a pipe dream.

"How pitiful. After her confession was rejected, Li Jing's whole aura seems to have diminished by seventy percent... It's like she doesn't even dare to look Lin Feng in the eye!"

"Yeah, she couldn't even read her script properly! What was that? And she's talking about running for deputy chairperson? What a joke!"

"Just yesterday, she was arrogantly proclaiming in the Study Department that she would definitely win the election... Tsk, tsk, this is hilarious!"

Li Jing didn't know how she managed to return to her seat, but she noticed that the female members of the Study Department who were originally sitting next to her had already left or moved seats.

Just as Li Jing was feeling utterly dejected, the situation on stage began to change...

It turned out that for nearly a minute after Li Jing stepped down, for some unknown reason, no one else took to the stage to speak. The student council members in the audience grew impatient and began to urge someone to step up...

The one they were urging, naturally, was Lin Feng, whom they had been hearing about the most...

"Lin Feng to the stage! Lin Feng to the stage!" The chorus urging Lin Feng to take the stage was massive. It was shocking, like a tide swelling from far to near, or an avalanche cascading from a mountaintop. It grew from a faint whisper to a deafening roar, until finally, the entire meeting room seemed to tremble!

Almost everyone was shouting until they were red-faced. When Li Jing witnessed this scene, she was initially surprised, then couldn't suppress a surge of malicious joy!

I was just laughed at a few times, and it put me under so much pressure that it affected my performance, Li Jing thought. Now that so many people are chanting for Lin Feng in unison, the pressure he's under surely won't be any less! My performance was horrible, but what if Lin Feng's is even worse than mine?

Hope sparkled in Li Jing's eyes. At this point, I don't even care if I can get the deputy chairperson position anymore. I just want to see Lin Feng make a fool of himself and suffer! The more he suffers, the more embarrassed he is, the happier I'll be!

Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to get on stage. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind. I'm just participating in this election to hone my courage and public speaking skills. I don't necessarily have to be this blasted deputy chairperson...

However, now that so many people were calling his name, Lin Feng couldn't feign reluctance even if he wanted to. He had to brace himself, stand up, and walk towards the stage.

"Lin Feng... Are you going up there empty-handed?" Ning Aoxue asked. She saw that Lin Feng not only had no speech prepared but not even a slip of paper with an outline; he was just walking out empty-handed, which made her worry. Didn't I just see the battle-hardened Li Jing crash and burn so easily? She's the head of the Study Department and even had a script with her. When she got nervous, she ended up like that. What about Lin Feng...?

"I've already prepared my speech in my head!" Lin Feng pointed to his head with a grin and said with a laugh.

At this point, all Ning Aoxue could do was trust Lin Feng's words. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Then you have to do your best!"

"Fight on!" Su Zi cheerily clenched her fist at Lin Feng.

"Alright, I will do my best..." Lin Feng nodded, somewhat speechless. Back when I was in the White Wolf Squad, I often directed hundreds of soldiers from the White Wolf Troop or allied forces in combat deployments. A small scene like this? It's nothing to me!

A hundred-odd students? Not enough to rattle me.

Still, when it came to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi's concern, I could only silently accept it.

Lin Feng slowly ascended the stage. Unsurprisingly, the entire hall of students erupted into raucous laughter. Everyone was chattering about Lin Feng, and the din in the room instantly became chaotic.

"So this is Lin Feng. He's kinda cute! No wonder he wasn't into Li Jing!"

"He's uglier in person than in the photos. Thumbs down..."

"Why would Zhang Kuan recommend him for deputy chairperson? Are they dating?"

...

After Lin Feng took the stage, a clamor of countless discussions erupted from the audience below.

I doubt my voice will reach all these students' ears, even amplified by the microphone and speakers! Lin Feng thought.

It's way too noisy!

In the midst of the uproar, Lin Feng suddenly closed his mouth, silently gazing at the audience for a long time without a word.

After a moment, Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore. Even if I recite my speech perfectly from memory, there will still be people who can't hear a thing... These guys must be here to deliberately cause trouble!

In that case, don't blame me for getting tough!

Lin Feng suddenly coughed lightly twice, clearing his throat. Then, he leaned towards the microphone and said, "Actually, the results for this deputy chairperson election have already been decided... Do you want to know why?"
