I became beautiful by eating melons

As soon as Zhu Bingying and her three teammates came on stage, the huge contrast in their clothes attracted a lot of attention.

She was determined to win, and she found three very strong teammates.

Although they had some disagreements off stage, they still worked well together on stage.

"Thousands of words to celebrate the conference!" Four people recited a poem at the same time.

Zhao Jinmei in the audience turned pale when she heard this. She said in panic, "It's really the same song."

Jia Wenzhen said with a sullen face: "They are all poems, and they performed first, which is very disadvantageous to us."

"Let's go find the teacher!" Zhao Jinmei said immediately.

Ye Rou knew that Zhu Bingying did it on purpose. No wonder she was so panicked when her teammates wanted to change the order of the game.

She grabbed Zhao Jinmei with her backhand and said, "It's too late to find a teacher now."

Jia Wenzhen agreed, "It will be our turn soon. Going to the teacher now won't change anything."

"Are we not going to do anything?" Zhao Jinmei was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.

Ye Rou suddenly said: "Let's change the performance."

Zhao Jinmei subconsciously disagreed with the sudden change of performance program that had not been rehearsed. She looked at Ye Rou and paused the words on her lips.

Ye Rou has a bright appearance but a mild personality. She is very much like a kitten. She will find a warm and comfortable place and lie there all day.

She did not make the decision impulsively. Her previous lukewarmness was gone and her expression was exceptionally calm.

She said quickly, "Zhu Bingying is just trying to trick us. If we don't change the performance, we'll be stepping into the trap she has dug."

Jia Wenzhen was still a little hesitant, "But it's too late to change at the last minute, and even if we bump into the show, we're not necessarily worse than her."

Ye Rou shook her head and said, "Once Zhu Bingying sticks to you, you can't get rid of her."

Jia Wenzhen and Zhao Jinmei immediately understood Ye Rou's implied meaning.

Zhu Bingying is an expert at stirring up public opinion. Regardless of winning or losing, as long as the performance repertoire is the same, she can make a big fuss about it.

"Okay, let's switch." Although Zhao Jinmei agreed, she still frowned, "We only have one team left to perform, ten minutes at most, and we have to think of a program on the spot. It's really too rushed."

"Don't worry, I already have an idea." Ye Rou pulled the two away, "Let's go rehearse first."

The three people quickly left from the backstage.

"This year the universe will present wonderful music."

Zhu Bingying on the stage recited the last line of the poem. The stage lights shone on her, and she seemed to be glowing white. At this moment, she was the absolute center of the stage.

Her three teammates were completely reduced to the background and no one noticed them.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Zhu Bingying really enjoyed the attention and praise from others.

She swept away the depression of the past few days, smiled brightly and walked off the stage with light steps amid the cheers from the audience.

Zhu Bingying felt more relaxed when she thought about how Ye Rou must be very busy right now.

She was so proud of herself that she completely forgot about the three teammates following behind her.

The three girls looked at each other with the same resentful expression.

The stage is higher than the backstage and requires going down some stairs.

There are no stage lights here, it's dark and gloomy.

Zhu Bingying quickly stepped onto the stairs. She couldn’t wait to see Ye Rou’s expression. It must be very exciting.

As she was thinking, suddenly a huge force came from behind her!

Zhu Bingying lost her balance and her mind went blank the moment she fell.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

She tumbled down the steps.

The skin and flesh hit the hard concrete steps, causing excruciating pain.

The pure white dress was stained and covered with dust.

She screamed in pain, but her three teammates seemed not to hear her and left without even looking back.

Zhu Bingying didn't expect that these three idiots would dare to push her. She was so angry that her face turned grim and she shouted at them desperately, but no one stopped.

She cursed angrily, no longer as pure and cool as before, but like a female ghost in white.

During the interval between the fifth pair of performers going on stage, the old principal on the second floor of the auditorium turned his head to look at Ji Chunming.

He said with a straight face: "I heard from Xiaoguang that you want to re-elect the student union?"

Ji Chunming smiled gently and did not deny it.

The old principal's face turned cold, "Holding a competition today and electing a student council tomorrow, the students are not focused on their studies, it's just nonsense!"

Ji Chunming’s educational philosophy is different from that of the old principal.

He also didn't want to argue with the old man whose half body was almost buried in the ground.

Faced with the accusations, he pretended to nod his head in acceptance, but in fact he let them go in one ear and out the other and didn't take them to heart at all.

The old principal naturally saw Ji Chunming's perfunctory attitude. He straightened his lips, looked downcast, and said coldly, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want in A University just because Zheng Zhiyuan is backing you up."

Ji Chunming said in a gentle voice: "I don't understand what you said. What do you mean by doing whatever you want?"

His act of pretending to be stupid made the old principal look angry.

"Why are you pretending to be confused with me? Regarding the matter between Yan Yan and Tao He, one of them is the vice president, and the other is a professor of the medical school whom I specially invited back. Now because of you, they are both suspended and reflect on their actions. You are clearly using public power to take revenge on your own."

Ji Chunming smiled and said, "Old Principal, you are wrongly accusing me of this. The matter between Vice Principal Yan and Professor Tao has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you?" The old principal's eyes were gloomy. "You knew Ye Rou's background but didn't tell her. You watched them fall into a trap without saving them, and you still say it has nothing to do with you?"

Ji Chunming said innocently: "They were the ones who made the mistake first, I didn't add insult to injury--"

He said with a smile: "At best, I am just a bystander."

"You!" The old principal's cheeks trembled violently with anger. He closed his eyes, sighed, and spoke again in a much softer tone.

"Xiao Ji, won't school matters delay your search for someone?"

Ji Chunming's face turned cold.

Seeing his expression change, the old principal continued, "I heard that you returned to China to find your fiancée. What a woman would encounter after living abroad for so many years... Tsk tsk, aren't you in a hurry to find someone?"

Ji Chunming did not answer, but frowned and asked in displeasure: "What do you mean?"

The old principal stared at the stage and said casually, "You are still young. Don't get yourself involved in insignificant things. After all, you still have important people to find, right?"

It was a blatant threat, not like he had ever been the president of a university, but rather like a thug fighting with sticks on the street for territory.

The old principal has a strong desire for control and is overbearing. He never allows others to disobey him. In his eyes, A University belongs to him and is his personal property.

Ji Chunming's reform of the teaching model, the transfer of teachers, and the future layout of University A completely angered the old principal.

This made him even say words that threatened Ji Chunming's personal safety.

But facing his threats, Ji Chunming just found them ridiculous.

He acted as if he was frightened, seemingly calm, but actually terrified.

The old principal seemed very satisfied with his reaction. He stood up slowly and said, "Xiao Ji, you are still young. He who knows the current situation is a hero."

He said this, stopped watching the next performance, and walked downstairs slowly.

After watching the old principal leave, Qian Hui, who had been standing behind the two of them and acting as a quiet background, moved.

He was just the Dean of Studies who was transferred to A University from outside. His tenure was only slightly longer than that of Principal Ji, so he was not considered the old principal's man.

I originally wanted to be a fence-sitter and stand in whichever direction the wind blows.

But after witnessing how Ji Chunming effortlessly held down Yan Yan and Tao He, Qian Hui, like a little grass, jumped down from the wall and landed firmly in Ji Chunming's yard.

On the surface, he still plays the fence-sitter.

As soon as the old principal left, Qian Hui stepped forward and whispered, "Should the student union election be postponed?"

"No need, just continue as usual." Ji Chunming said calmly.

Qian Hui hesitated: "But the old principal..."

"He's old." Ji Chunming said nonchalantly, "Times are rolling forward, and new things will inevitably replace old things."

Qian Hui understood.

Ji Chunming was determined to uproot this old tree whose roots had spread all over A University.
