Chapter 259: The Inauguration
Chapter 259: The Inauguration
At Jiangnan University, the Student Union had gathered in excitement.
The medical room was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, their cheers deafening as they celebrated.
"Lu Wu!" they chanted, their voices filled with joy and excitement.
The commotion was so great that neither the administration nor Lu Wu could remain silent.
On the administrative side, Zhang Wentao quickly organized a meeting to discuss the situation.
In his opinion, there wasn't much to deliberate; it was a mere formality.
"As we can all see, the students are eager for this. Let's go with the flow and support their decision!" Zhang Wentao proposed, gaining the agreement of half the teachers present.
Jiangnan University had been declining year after year, and the recent defeat at the hands of Zhang Yuchi had further diminished the administration's reputation among the students.
In contrast, Lu Wu had become the university's greatest pride in decades.
His appointment as Student Union President was indeed a positive development.
However, there were those who were less than pleased.
Their reasons varied, but they all ultimately traced back to Lu Wu's close association with Jiang Yuexing, questioning his suitability as a freshman.
These dissenting voices were surprisingly strong, causing a stalemate in what was supposed to be a routine meeting.
Among the elders present, only Li Mingrui remained silent.
When both sides noticed this, they realized Li Mingrui had quietly left his seat.
Looking over, they saw him by the window, gazing out.
After a while, Li Mingrui turned to face the room, especially those in opposition.
"Who can go and tell them otherwise?" he asked, his question piercing their souls.
Could anyone really oppose these excited students? In this situation, did their opposition even matter? On one side was the administration, humiliated by a single person, and on the other was Lu Wu, who had brought pride to the university.
To stand against Lu Wu would be akin to standing against the students themselves.
Given the current state of Jiangnan University, predicting the outcome was difficult.
In the end, the administration only approved Zhang Wentao's proposal to immediately appoint Lu Wu as Student Union President.
The announcement was swiftly made public.
This news further ignited the students' enthusiasm, turning the campus into a celebration, with cheers echoing for miles around Jiangnan University.
While the students rejoiced, the teachers faced a headache.
After several attempts at threats and heartfelt pleas to calm the students and return to class, they had little success.
It was only when Lu Wu appeared that the situation was resolved.
He didn't say anything grand; he had intended to, but before he could, he only managed to utter an introductory remark.
"Please, give me, Lu, some face..."
The students, respecting his request, suppressed their joy and returned to their classrooms.
The teachers, who had toiled half a day to no avail, were stunned, and Lu Wu felt uncomfortable.
I hadn't even started showing off, why did they leave? But soon, Lu Wu had no time to dwell on it.
Because of the ordinary students leaving, the student council members were still present.
The previous Student Council President rushed over, his eyes red, and held Lu Wu's hands with deep emotion, as if saying, 'Finally, you're here, and I'm glad you didn't give up!'
This guy must be a pervert, right?
Lu Wu instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but it was too late; this guy dragged him away to handle the handover.
On the other side, the students from Jiangnan University were also in high spirits.
Although they had returned to their respective classrooms due to the unexpected activation of the Face Fruit, they still couldn't contain their excitement.
This was especially true for the round-faced girl, Li Jingjing.
She felt empowered and believed that she could now defeat those she couldn't before.
Without hesitation, she captured the notification of Lu Wu's appointment as the Student Council President of Jiangnan University and rushed back to the comment section of that news report, wielding it like a weapon.
She unleashed her killer move right away.
It felt like slapping those guys in the face.
Who said Lu Wu was from Jiangnan but didn't necessarily belong to it?
In the 1619 book, the unedited version, Lu Wu was indeed the Student Council President of Jiangnan University!
He would undoubtedly lead Jiangnan University to rise from the ashes and soar to new heights.
At the same time, there were many others doing the same as Li Jingjing.
Almost all the students vented their excitement on the internet.
Thanks to them, the news of Lu Wu's appointment as the Student Council President quickly spread online.
As soon as the news broke, it immediately attracted widespread attention.
After all, Lu Wu's current identity was extraordinary.
He was not only the youngest Master-rank Cultivator Tutor but also recognized as the strongest young Cultivator after the Cultivator Tutor Competition.
He was undeniably destined to become a Grandmaster-level prodigy.
So, at this moment, Lu Wu's online popularity was just as high as Zhang Yuchi's, who had challenged and defeated 28 universities.
Any news about Lu Wu would immediately attract attention.
Just like Zhang Yuchi's challenge to a university.
However, while Zhang Yuchi's university-challenging posts were filled with praise and admiration, the comments on Lu Wu's appointment as the Student Council President of Jiangnan University were mostly negative.
Many commented that Lu Wu's actions were irrational.
Some even went as far as saying that Lu Wu's behavior was a result of an overinflated ego after the Cultivator Tutor Competition.
They claimed that Jiangnan University was already on its last legs, like a sinking ship with countless holes, and its demise was inevitable.
This situation was beyond anyone's control, even Lu Wu's.
Furthermore, while Lu Wu was indeed a prodigy, his talent lay in Cultivator Tutoring, not management.
His appointment might not only fail to change Jiangnan University's current situation but could also accelerate its decline due to his overconfident and impulsive attitude.
In conclusion, Lu Wu should focus on his Cultivator Tutoring instead of wasting time as a Student Council President.
This comment infuriated the excited Jiangnan University students.
