Although Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue didn’t go back to their school last night, Song Miaoge still got up alone the next morning to run and train. She didn’t stop training when Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue were absent, because she was the one who was going to have the competition, not Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue.
She needed Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue’s help to improve her fighting skills, but she had to rely on herself to reach her goal.
Zhang Zikai got up the next day and accidentally bumped her bandage wrapped arm, but she surprisingly found that it wasn’t painful at all.
After that, Zhang Zikai tried to move it a little, and she indeed felt no pain. She was so excited that she jumped.
She was quite grateful to Gu Ning and was amazed by the effect of her medicine. Afterwards, she called her father at once and told her father that her arm wasn’t painful at all after she took a pill given by her schoolmate.
Zhang Zikai’s father was also shocked by the fact that a single pill could cure the injured arm within a single night. It was very unbelievable, because the doctor told them that Zhang Zikai’s arm wouldn’t make a full recovery until half a month later..
…
When Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue arrived at their school, it was time for classes, so they went to their own classrooms.
Once the morning class was over, Zhang Zikai excitedly went to see Gu Ning and told her that her arm was fine now.
They had had classes for a week, so now the departments of the student union were ready to accept new members.
When Gu Ning and her friends were dining in the canteen, two male seniors walked towards them.
“Nice to see you, Gu Ning. I’m the head of the Sports Department, Ling Xu. I heard that you’re quite good at martial arts, so I hope that you can join us. Are you interested?” asked Ling Xu politely.
“Sorry, I have no intention of joining any department, because I’m too busy now. I won’t have much time to stay in the school in the future.” Gu Ning politely declined. Because Ling Xu was very kind to her, her attitude was good too.
Gu Ning wouldn’t join any departments in their school, but there was a team that she would definitely join, which was the Chamber of Commerce. It was a place full of skilled people, and it was the most difficult club to be accepted into.
Gu Ning undoubtedly reached its standards. As long as there was no one who purposefully stopped her from joining it, she would certainly be accepted.
“It’s a shame, but we won’t force you to do that. Well, I should stop bothering you. Sorry for wasting your time,” said Ling Xu, feeling it was a pity that Gu Ning refused to join them, but he didn’t bother to force Gu Ning to accept his invitation and soon left.
“I myself plan to join the Fundraising Committee, but I don’t know whether I’ll be accepted,” said Zhang Zikai. She was an ordinary student and wasn’t as busy as Gu Ning, so she decided to practice her skill in their school.
Gu Ning had already joined the society to put her knowledge into practice, so she didn’t need the platform of the school committees to prove herself.
“Do your best at the interview. It should be fine,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t know whether Zhang Zikai would be accepted because it wasn’t easy to be a member of the student union of the Capital University. Therefore, the only thing she could do now was to encourage her.
If she had connections, it shouldn’t be a problem. It depended on herself.
“Sure, I’ll try. If I can’t be accepted, I’ll leave it.” Zhang Zikai was relaxed. She wanted to be a member of it, but there was nothing else she could do if her wish couldn’t come true.
“Miaoge, Zongxue, how about you?” Zhang Zikai asked Song Miaoge and Baili Zongxue.
“I won’t join any clubs,” said Baili Zongxue. She came here for Gu Ning, so she wasn’t interested in other things.
“I’ll join the Study Department,” said Song Miaoge. Actually, she didn’t have much interest in these clubs either, but she needed a chance to practice her skills.
During the day, several heads or ministers of the clubs and departments came to invite Gu Ning to join them. After all, Gu Ning was so outstanding, but she turned them all down.
Most of them understood why Gu Ning refused, but some felt displeased and thought that Gu Ning was too arrogant.
The senior who criticized Gu Ning was the deputy minister of the Martial Arts Department. Her name was Pan Tongyue.
Pan Tongyue was a senior student. She was tall and pretty, but she took Gu Ning as her competitor once she saw Gu Ning for the first time.
Because she was one of Rong Zechen’s admirers, she hated Gu Ning after hearing the rumor about their relationship. As a result, when Gu Ning declined to join them, she became unkind.
“Pan Tongyue, don’t I have the right not to join any clubs? You can’t say that I’m arrogant simply because I’m unwilling to join you. If so, why don’t you persuade all the students to join the Martial Arts Department? Why are you only picking on me? Although I’m good at martial arts, I didn’t learn them to join your club. Don’t think too highly of yourself,” said Gu Ning. She knew that Pan Tongyue was finding fault with her, so she didn’t hesitate to argue with her. She wasn’t in a good mood today anyway, probably because she was on her period.
“You…” Pan Tongyue was annoyed, but she knew that she had just lost her manners. Therefore, she suppressed her anger and explained. “Gu Ning, I didn’t mean that. What I was trying to say is that it won’t cost you much time if you can join us. I understand that you have your career, but it’s a good way for you to form a close relationship with other students.”
Gu Ning, however, didn’t think it was necessary, but she couldn’t say it aloud, because it sounded too arrogant.
“I don’t think it’s the only way to build a close relationship with other students in our school. Anyway, those who want to be close to me will definitely not be aggressive like you. They should be considerate and understand the situation I’m in. Even if it won’t cost me much time, I’m quite busy normally. I need time to rest,” said Gu Ning, scolding Pan Tongyue for attacking her.
Pan Tongyue didn’t know what to say at this moment. She only felt mad and embarrassed, but she couldn’t argue with Gu Ning over that. At the same time, students around them began to support Gu Ning.
“Right, Gu Ning has so many companies to manage. It’s not easy for her to finish her classes. She’s a human with limited energy. She can’t afford to join a club.”
“I agree. By the way, Gu Ning is very successful now. She doesn’t need to practice her skills by joining a club. She’s far better than just that.”
“Exactly, she has something more important to deal with. Why should she waste time on meaningless things?”
“…”
