They all want to control me!

Chapter 43 "Plan to Capture Jiang Qiaoqiao "

"What's going on?!"

The teacher in charge of the welcome party was going crazy and rushed to the control room to ask what was going on.

The student council president helplessly spread his hands: "It was done by a temporary worker."

"This is a university, where would you find temporary workers?"

"A guy just came in, said he was a temporary worker, played the video and then ran away."

"Never mind the temporary workers, can we stop the video now?" The teacher wiped his sweat.

Those below me are all leaders. What if something goes wrong and I lose my chance to be officially hired?

The chairman sighed, "That temporary worker is a computer expert; he locked the computer, so it can't be turned on."

Upon hearing this, the teacher quickly called a student who was proficient in computers—why not the teacher? The teacher is much more convenient to order around than the student, who is like a beast of burden that you can use without having to repay favors.

A plump girl wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in, listened to the general situation, and nodded, saying:

"It's possible, but it will take time."

"I'm leaving this to you, Ruan Xue. I'm going to appease the leaders." The teacher left, her departing figure filled with longing for a permanent position.

The president closed the door to the control room, a smile instantly spreading across his face as he flashed a peace sign at the girl with black-rimmed glasses.

"Plan A succeeded, consider it compensation for me leading the molestation of the junior schoolmate."

"Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?" Ruan Xue pushed up her glasses, sat down in front of the computer, and casually turned it on.

Because she was the one who locked the computer.

"The premise for holding someone accountable is that serious consequences have occurred. We only released a video; what serious consequences could that have? Besides, if the junior student sang well, do you believe that the female teacher who always bosses people around would come and praise us?"

The student council president pursed his lips and continued, "There's no right or wrong, it's just a matter of whether or not we suffer losses."

"Whatever you want, I'm just a tool." Ruan Xue turned her head to look at the stage in the lecture hall and murmured in her own voice, "This is good material, it can be written into a novel."

"Ruan Xue, you keep an eye on the control room. I'm going to continue with the second part of Plan A."

"Is there a second part?"

"Yes, the full name of this plan is 'Plan A to Capture Jiang Qiaoqiao,' which was proposed by the junior student."

"It's also material... for writing novels."

…………

Auditorium.

On stage, "Facepalm" bowed, took the microphone, and walked off the stage, leaving only "Smiling" behind.

The video on the big screen was still playing.

Following the shout of "Takumi, look at your legs!", the girl responded with "Get lost, you damn bastard—"

They all wanted to hear the boy's name, but it was muted.

Some students with short tempers, having been piqued to their interest, couldn't help but mutter a few curses under their breath.

A mournful piano melody appeared, and everyone realized that it was the second version.

—Is he cheating? How can he host three shows all by himself? Report him!

But I must say, the piano music is quite beautiful.

A surprised voice can be heard in the video: "You're going to add my name to the credits?"

The boy who had been being frivolous earlier said with a smile, "Of course, the inspiration came from you, you wrote the sheet music, and you even taught me music theory, so you played a part in the creation of this song."

"Our... song?" the girl murmured.

Is this really a foul?

There's even a storyline involved! This is a level of treatment!

"Smile" begins to sing.

The beginning was the same, but the moment the female voice appeared, the whole audience was surprised.

Unlike the sweet "facepalm laugh", this is a different kind of cool and pleasant tone.

If the previous "smiling" and "covering face and laughing" were love songs sung by young couples in the throes of new love, this version is about the heart-wrenching pain of breaking up after a real relationship.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the second version seems more authentic, and the male and female voices are much better suited to it than the first version.

Turn around and leave~

I can't bring myself to say goodbye.

"Azure coral sea~"

"Missed moments are fleeting~"

Not only did you release a video, but you also paired it with an even better female vocal version. You seem to be getting a little too big for your britches.

"It's over...it's completely over, Yao Yao, you can't see a glimmer of hope."

The strategist, Wang Hui, realized who the woman's voice was and covered her face, groaning softly.

They lost in terms of physique and teamwork.

Yao Yao, I don't know how to win!

"Does it sound good?" a cool voice asked.

"..." Wang Hui looked up and saw Jiang Qiaoqiao with red and swollen eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "It really... sounds good."

"I sang it," Jiang Qiaoqiao said decisively, as if asserting her sovereignty.

"I can tell." Wang Hui didn't want to admit it, but it was true.

"Lin Ran and I wrote it together." She pressed on relentlessly, her momentum growing stronger.

"...Yes." Wang Hui already had the intention to back down.

"So now you understand who's the original and who's the pirated copy?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao stood up, holding onto the back of the chair. She swayed as if she would fall over at any moment.

She raised her hand to stop Aunt Zhao from helping her up, and walked step by step to Wang Hui, looking down at her, and said:

Answer me.

"..."

Wang Hui looked up at the pretty, delicate face that still looked beautiful in the darkness.

Even though her eyes were slightly red and swollen, she was unable to move easily, and she looked so thin that she could be blown away by the wind, her strong competitive spirit pressed down on Wang Hui.

Wang Hui then realized just how much of an opponent her best friend Tao Zhiyao was going to face.

—Whatever is mine must be mine; even if it's not mine now, it will definitely be mine in the future, you domineering little witch.

Wang Hui gritted her teeth, unwilling to answer. "I am the strategist. Yao Yao has not yet been defeated. How can the strategist surrender first!"

"...Aunt Zhao, let's go."

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked away from Wang Hui, thinking her insignificant.

Aunt Zhao was watching the drama unfold, but she was surprised that it ended so quickly. She felt a little disappointed and also a little confused.

"Aren't we going to listen to the whole song?"

"No need. Lin Ran and I have sung this song countless times, so one more time won't make a difference. Besides..." Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at 'Smiling' holding a guitar on the stage, "Based on my understanding of him, he should know I'm in the lecture hall and is sending people to arrest me. This video and this song are all part of a plan to stall me. Since he wants to arrest me, I have no choice but to run away."

—My goodness, are you two playing a spy game by becoming friends? You're already coming up with all sorts of schemes!

Aunt Zhao suddenly started daydreaming and thought of "Spy House" and "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War," which are super good!

She came to her senses and helped Jiang Qiaoqiao leave the venue in a hurry.

Less than a minute later, the president came running over, panting, and asked:

"Wang Hui, have you seen a very pretty girl with a nanny by her side? That girl is disabled and has difficulty walking."

"They ran that way," Wang Hui said, pointing to the entrance of the lecture hall.

The president stamped his foot: "Too late! They still got away!"

"They're not walking fast; we should be able to catch up if we go now."

Although Wang Hui didn't understand what was going on, her intuition told her that the two groups were playing a cat-and-mouse game.

"Aren't you going to chase after them?"

"It's alright." The president glanced at her, took out his phone and made a call. "The junior student guessed that Jiang Qiaoqiao would see through the deception and run away, so we have a Plan B."

The call went through.

The student council president said directly and bluntly, "You guard that car at the school gate; don't let them get away!"

Wang Hui watched the entire operation from the sidelines, thinking to herself, "Anyone who didn't know better would think they were arresting a foreign spy."
