In the dean's room of Xiangge Academy, Ling Yinren seemed to have lost the vitality of his whole body at this time, and sat on the chair with a dead breath, while Dean Cheng, who was sitting directly opposite, indifferently took the teacup and blew the hot air on it.

After a long time, Dean Cheng raised his glass and took a sip of tea, "I don't understand. At the same time, Ling Yinren slowly raised his head and asked with resentment and unwillingness on his face: "Dean, you said that a gentleman wins the world with benevolence, why do I still lose, no wonder I am not a gentleman?"

Faced with Ling Yinren's questioning, Dean Cheng didn't answer, so he said casually: "You have read Lu Dayi's "Gentleman". ”

"Gentleman?" Ling Yinren was stunned for a moment, and then said with anger on his face: "What gentleman, it is the malicious slander of a shameless villain." Ling Yinren said, holding the green tendons with both hands.

"Well, that's why you lost. No gentleman has nothing to do with it. ”

"What?"

Looking at Ling Yinren with a blank face, Dean Cheng put down the teacup and said lightly, "Do you know who your real competitor is this time?"

"Competitor?" Ling Yinren, who felt more and more confused, asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't my competitor Cui Jiating?"

"Of course not. Dean Cheng said and stood up and walked to the side of the sword stand, looked at the sword on it and said, "You just lost to yourself, a self that you have created the image of a perfect gentleman." ”

"Myself?" Ling Yinren suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, as if he had caught some vague thought, so he looked at Dean Cheng longingly, and saw Dean Cheng slowly pick out a long sword from the sword stand, and then stroked the scabbard and asked, "Do you know when a sword is the sharpest?"

"This, this. ”

"It's when it's in the scabbard. Dean Cheng said and drew out the long sword, then carefully looked at the long sword and said: "Your defeat this time is that the sword is out of the sheath and does not know how to converge, resulting in the edge being exposed and losing the benevolence of the gentleman; Dean Cheng said, pointing the long sword in his hand at Ling Yinren.

"Attack the sheath with the sword that has been used?" Ling Yinren looked at the flickering cold blade, and the questions that had been entangled in his heart seemed to be solved layer by layer, so he hurriedly asked again: "Dean, what do you mean Cui Jiating, Lu Dayi: They first asked me to use all my strength to create a perfect gentleman image, because this image is too perfect and not something I can control now, so they used the difference between me and this image to strip me out, and then Lu Dayi took advantage of my reason chaos to seize this gentleman image for use, so the opponent I faced later was actually a perfect self, a self that I could not defeat at this stage no matter what. ”

"Hmm. After listening to Ling Yinren's explanation, Dean Cheng took back the long sword with satisfaction, picked up an abrasive cloth from the sword frame and wiped the blade lightly and said: "Your defeat today is because you have too much edge and don't know how to converge, so it will cause a rift between yourself and the image of a gentleman, so that Cui Jiating, Lu Dayi and others have an opportunity." Dean Cheng said and picked up a white towel from the sword stand to wipe the sword.

Seeing this, Ling Yinren got up and bowed deeply to Dean Cheng, "Thank you Dean for mentioning it, the student understands." ”

"Well, if you are the vice president, let Gu Minghao, the second seat of the squatting team, be in charge. As he spoke, Dean Cheng slowly withdrew the long sword in his hand into its sheath......

When everyone thought that the dust had settled on this campaign, a pictorial of an apology written by Ling Yinren quietly appeared everywhere in the academy, and just when everyone was unbelievable that Ling Yinren, who had always been high, would apologize to ordinary students, Ling Yinren appeared at the intersection leading to the canteen and the library, and personally bowed and apologized to every student passing by, and the apology that lasted for five days made most of the students' perception of Ling Yinren improve to a certain extent.

Seeing that the situation of the final election seemed to be about to begin to flip, Lu Dayi hurriedly found Qian Baimo and asked, "That little white face can really turn the tables again with this one?"

"Of course not. Qian Baimo, who seemed to have no concern about the election, looked at the "New Theory of Business and Economics" in his hand and said: "If you apologize and become the president, then what else do you want to do in this campaign; ”

"What?" Lu Dayi suddenly felt confused and asked, "You mean let me vote for Ling Yinren in the end!"

"Hmm. ”

Hearing Ling Yinren's casual answer, Lu Dayi suddenly seemed to be ignited, and asked with an incredible anger on his face: "Why!"

"Alas, isn't this unclear?" Listening to Lu Dayi's anger, Qian Baimo sighed and closed the book with a bookmark, then turned his head to look at Lu Dayi and said: "No matter what happens in this election, the final president will definitely be and must be Ling Yinren." ”

"Why! "Why!" Lu Dayi still shouted dissatisfiedly, "Alas, with this Xiangge Academy, the biggest one is Dean Cheng. ”

"Dean Cheng?" Lu Dayi was stunned when he heard Qian Baimo mention the dean, and then listened to Qian Baimo continue: "Do you really think that in such a big academy, the dean will rest assured that such an important department of the student association will be handed over to a group of brat who have not even passed the examination to be a family?"

"But, but. ”

"Nothing. Qian Baimo interrupted Lu Dayi and said: "If I guess correctly, the election of the president of each term is just the final test of the dean for the best students like Ling Yinren, or the balance of various clubs;

"But. Lu Dayi still couldn't believe Qian Baimo's speculation and continued to retort: "Even if everything you say is correct, but if we don't vote for Ling Yinren's little white face, why can Ling Yinren be the president." ”

Looking at Lu Dayi's resentful and dissatisfied expression, Qian Baimo couldn't help but say solemnly and with a slight warning: "Lu Dayi, what do you think of your comparison with Dean Cheng?"

"This, this. ”

"Lu Dayi, you remember, in this academy, any little cleverness can only be called cleverness if Dean Cheng acquiesces, otherwise even if Ma Linsheng, who is known as a ghost, can only be a small role in this academy, even if you don't change your vote for Ling Yinren in this election, Senior Sister Cui and Tao Weiran will definitely have a large number of votes to vote for Ling Yinren, and the entire president election has been in the hands of Dean Cheng from the beginning, so Ling Yinren will come out to apologize when he knows that he will lose. ”

Facing Qian Baimo's rare solemn expression, Lu Dayi only felt a sense of weakness, and his original anger gradually faded, and then he saw Qian Baimo's expression gradually softening and said: "But we don't have to worry about this matter anymore, the biggest purpose of our participation in the election of the president this time is to let the dean see our potential and make us the first candidate for the future president." Now the next thing will naturally be arranged, and we don't need to play any tricks at this time, we just need to follow along. After Qian Baimo finished speaking, he ignored Lu Dayi and reopened the "New Theory of Business and Economics" in his hand.

Although Lu Dayi on the side was still unwilling in his heart, he would no longer pay attention to the matter of coming to vote after listening to Qian Baimo's meaning, and he could only leave helplessly.

The next thing, first the people of the Diwen Society came out to hold grievances against Ling Yinren, and then the kick team Gu Minghao stood in line to express his support for Ling Yinren; At the same time, Cui Jiating was criticized by all walks of life for putting forward the idea of co-ed classes, and the hospital could only give Cui Jiating a warning under external pressure, which also meant that Cui Jiating's president's new policy needed to be reorganized, which directly affected many students who voted for this new policy.

On the other hand, the chief of Tiangong Society finally came forward to strictly prohibit the division of Tiangong Society, and chose the supporting president camp by voting among members, and finally under the leadership of the first three seats supporting Ling Yinren, Lu Dayi could only be forced to choose to support Ling Yinren.

Seeing Ling Yinren's humble and sincere apology, the friction and unhappiness caused by the previous election campaign gradually subsided, and finally Ling Yinren narrowly won by five votes to become the president.

Since the graduation of students is in the summer every year, there is a summer festival to commemorate and encourage the candidates, and at the same time, it is also a day to celebrate the new student association.
