Chapter 1: The Student Council Interview
986 Words
“Get out! Get out! Get out of my sight, you ungrateful son of a b***h! I disown you! Whether you go abroad for your graduate studies or hook up with any man you like, I don’t care! You have nothing to do with the Su family anymore! Even if I die, don’t you dare cry at my funeral! From now on, just pretend that the Su family never had a son like you!”
With a loud bang, the study door slammed shut. All that could be heard from the other side was the old man's furious voice...
Sigh, another failed attempt. I'd only made him angrier! What should I do? The old man was still in a rage, so I had to come back another day.
My name is Su Mo, a sophomore majoring in foreign languages at Atlantis University. And I'm also gay. I have a huge crush on the student council president of our university. Well, to be honest, it's more like a one-sided infatuation. What? Are you asking if he knows about it? Of course not! If he did, I'd be exposed and there would be no chance for me to continue my secret admiration for another two years. He's like a god to me, and I, a so-called degenerate, am absolutely unworthy of him!
"Hey, Su Mo, why are you still lying there like a corpse? Today is the annual student council election at our school. Didn't you sign up? If you're any later, you'll miss your chance! And your crush, Rong Yu, is there too. Aren't you going to check him out?" It was Han Su, my roommate, a muscular guy from the sports department. He's not bad looking, but unfortunately, he's as straight as an arrow. There's no way I could make a move on him.
"What? Didn't they say it starts at 2 pm? What time is it now? Damn it! It's already 1 pm! Why are you telling me this now? You're not a good friend at all!"
"Fine, fine. I'm doing you a favor by telling you. Now go!"
"Alright, alright! Thanks, bro! I'm off!"
When Su Mo finally arrived at the teaching building, the meeting room was already surrounded by people. It was packed with Rong Yu's female fans!
Oh my god! How many people am I competing with for this man?
"Next, Su Mo? Is Su Mo here?"
"I'm here, I'm here! I'm right here!"
"Where are you? Hurry up! Or I'll call the next person!"
"I'm coming! Sorry, Ms. Zhang, please excuse me. Excuse me, please let me through!"
"Sorry, Ms. Zhang, I kept you waiting!"
"Hmm, it's okay, come in. Let's have the interview." Zhang Qinxue glanced at Su Mo and thought, he's quite handsome, and his voice is nice too. But based on my intuition, he's probably 90% gay, and the bottom one at that. I don't have a chance!
But Su Mo was so focused on Rong Yu that he started to smile unconsciously. When he looked up and saw Zhang Qinxue staring at him, he smiled awkwardly. Zhang Qinxue thought, is this guy an i***t? He's so happy to be interviewed! He's handsome, but our student council can't have an i***t!
As soon as Zhang Qinxue opened the door to the meeting room, Su Mo's eyes immediately locked onto Rong Yu's figure. He was instantly smitten, unable to look away from Rong Yu. He couldn't care less about anything else, and he didn't even hear Zhang Qinxue's question.
Zhang Qinxue found it strange and walked over to him, asking, "Su Mo, Su Mo? Can you hear me? I've been calling your name." As she spoke, she waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Su Mo suddenly came to his senses and covered his head, thinking, "Su Mo, what are you doing? You've been patient for so long! Soon, you'll be able to work with him every day! You absolutely cannot mess this up!"
"Ah, sorry, Ms. Zhang, I zoned out. What did you ask?" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Rong Yu again. He saw Rong Yu looking down at something, tapping his fingers on the table, looking a little impatient, and he didn't seem to care about what was happening here.
Su Mo felt a little disappointed and lonely. But he quickly hid his emotions and pretended that he was fine.
Zhang Qinxue asked a few questions, and the interview was soon over. She told him to wait for the notification, but Su Mo didn't want to leave. However, he had no reason to stay, so he reluctantly left the meeting room.
As soon as Su Mo closed the door to the meeting room, Rong Yu looked up and smiled slightly. He said to Zhang Qinxue, "Zhang Qinxue, keep that Su Mo. I want him."
Zhang Qinxue was surprised. The president never cared about the student council recruitment before. Why did he suddenly... This is strange! "So, president, what position is suitable for Su Mo in our student council? We can't waste his talent."
Rong Yu looked at Su Mo's file and said without looking up, "There's a vacancy for a general affairs secretary in the president's office. Just let him do it."
Zhang Qinxue's eyes widened. What? Did I hear that right? This boss wants to keep him by his side? What did Su Mo do to offend this boss?
"Um, I don't think that's a good idea. He might not want to do odd jobs."
"How do you know he doesn't want to? Have you asked him? Don't argue with me! Just do it!" Rong Yu's tone was clearly unpleasant.
"Yes, president!" This boss is not someone to be messed with. Su Mo, you're on your own!
On the other side, Su Mo didn't know that he had been assigned the job of general affairs secretary by the president in just a moment.
