Chapter 662: This money, we'll pay for it

  It's still the same conference room as last time, but there are more people here today than last time.

  The last time was just a temporary cadre meeting convened by Zhou Yichen, and the regular meeting is different. According to the requirements of the Student Union, the regular meeting requires all student union members with responsibilities to attend, so the number of people is naturally much more than last time.

  In front of the round table, most ministers have arrived. Those who are familiar with each other are chatting and laughing, while members of various departments sit on chairs along the wall, still holding notebooks to take notes.

  Seeing these people in the conference room, Zhang Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled again.

  They are like this, similar to the large meeting he held in the hospital last time. The heads and people in charge of various departments all gathered together, seemingly many people, but actually most of them came with their ears to listen to the report. The ones who can really dominate are still just a few people.

  After Zhang Yang came in, everyone also noticed him, and then they noticed Mi Xue beside him.

  Almost everyone was staring at Mishi.

  The student union isn't without girls, the Minister of Health Han Li and the Minister of Propaganda Yan Ruohong are both girls, but they're just ordinary girls, not as pretty as Mi Xue. It has to be said that pretty girls have an advantage wherever they go, and Mi Xue immediately became the center of attention in the conference room.

  "Director Zhang, come sit over here!"

  Minister of Culture Gao Jie warmly greeted Zhang Yang and even gave up his seat to let Zhang sit next to him.

  After becoming the Minister of Literature and Art, Gao Jie felt extremely relieved. Not only did he not have to serve those ancestors in the club department, but he could also come into contact with many girls.

  The literary department arranged many programs, but they were all performed by girls, which made Gao Jie even more grateful to Zhang Yang.

  "Wait for me, I'll be right there!"

  Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head. He first arranged for Mi Xue and Gu Cheng to get settled, as they were both attending the student council meeting for the first time and weren't familiar with some things.

  Two people sat down behind Zhang Yang, and as soon as they did, a guy who thought he was cool came over to try to hit on Mi Xue. Unfortunately for him, Mi Xue shut him down with just two sentences, and the outcome also made others who had similar ideas temporarily retreat.

  It's great to be able to talk to pretty girls, but nobody wants to get embarrassed in front of so many people.

  At this time, Mei Xue finally showed her usual personality.

  "Zhang Yang, let's go! Mi Xue is in the Foreign Affairs Department. I think there will be many people applying to your department in the future!"

  Zhang Yang had just sat down when Gao Jie said with a smile.

  "It's just that, I'm so tempted to go to the Foreign Affairs Department now, it's also a feast for the eyes!"

  Minister of Technology Ye Zhan also smiled and said, after Zhang Yang promoted Gao Jie to the Literature Department, several neutral ministers changed their views on Zhang Yang, and Ye Zhan was one of them.

  "Come on, Ye Bubulong, I welcome you with open arms. Otherwise, let's swap roles, you be the Minister of Foreign Affairs and I'll go to the Technical Department!"

  Zhang Yang smiled and said so with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

  This was just his joke, even if he really went to swap with Ye Zhan, he would take Mi Xue away. Unconsciously, Zhang Yang had completely regarded Mi Xue as one of his own people and was unwilling to let her follow others.

  "Stop it, Ministry of Foreign Affairs! I won't be able to handle it, the task you've set is too frightening, it'll crush me!"

  Ye Zhan hastily waved his hand, what he said was also a joke. If he really went to the external liaison department, it would be better to directly quit the student union. The tasks of the external liaison department, in their opinion, were astronomical figures that could not be completed at all.

  "Yè Bùzhǎng, now that you've said this, I reckon you'll regret it soon!"

  This time it was Xiao Bin who spoke, and Xiao Bin smiled at Ye Zhan with profound meaning. Only he and Mi Xue knew about Zhang Yang's 200,000 sponsorship, and Gu Cheng knew too. The other members of the student union had no idea, nor did they know that the external affairs department was about to change.

  While everyone was chatting and talking, Zhou Yichen finally appeared. As the chairman, he liked to make a last-minute entrance.

  Sitting in the top position, looking at so many people around him, Zhou Yichen's vanity was greatly satisfied. He had been an official enthusiast since he was a child and liked being an official. What he liked most was this feeling of controlling everything.

  Unfortunately, after seeing Zhang Yang, his face changed immediately, and he thought in his heart that if Zhang Yang were not here, it would be much better. Every time he saw Zhang Yang, he felt very uncomfortable.

  "Alright, let's get started with the meeting!"

  Zhou Yichen cleared his throat and said first, "Actually, the meeting is just to discuss some trivial matters, such as last week's unfinished work and this week's plans."

  As soon as Zhou Yichen's voice fell, Director Liu of the Sports Department called out.

  "Chairman Zhou, next week is the swimming competition, but we still don't have any prizes and there's no promotion at all. What do you think? Shouldn't we allocate some funds for us first?"

  The Sports Department is a popular department, and Director Liu is an old man who was brought up by the previous chairman. His relationship with Zhou Yichen is not too bad, and previously he was closer to Zhou Yichen than Zhang Yang.

  Unfortunately, Zhou Yichen wanted to promote his own dog leg Hu Tao, so he had a conflict with him. He understood that his position would not last long, so he didn't bother to be polite to Zhou Yichen and just did what he should do during his term.

  "Didn't we already give you 300 yuan for the swimming competition?"

  Zhou Yichen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his good mood immediately disappeared. Someone was asking for money as soon as the meeting started, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

  Director Liu said: "Chairman Zhou, you yourself also said that 300 yuan is not enough for anything. It's not even enough for publicity, let alone preparing prizes and certificates!"

  "Now the club is facing financial difficulties. This semester, the external liaison department did not get any sponsorship, and the little money allocated by the school is not enough. You guys should tighten your belts for now!"

  Zhou Yichen said slowly, and looked at Zhang Yang again while speaking.

  He didn't let go of any opportunity to suppress Zhang Yang, everyone knew that Zhang Yang was the current Minister of Foreign Affairs.

  Others also looked at Zhang Yang, but in many people's hearts, they were all sympathizing with Zhang Yang.

  Everyone knows that Zhang Yang has been the head of the Foreign Affairs Department for only a few days, and before that, the department was always empty. It's not fair to put the blame on him for not getting any sponsorships, but everyone just thinks about it and doesn't say anything out loud.

  They didn't have to offend Zhou Yichen for Zhang Yang's sake.

  "This is none of my business, without money nothing can be done, the swimming competition is a traditional project of the school, if you don't allocate funds, I can only go to the school for it, otherwise it's still my responsibility!"

  Director Liu spread his hands and said that he would be removed sooner or later, so it's better to take advantage of the power in his hands to make Zhou Yichen uncomfortable.

  "This is our student union's business, what are you doing here at school?!"

  Zhou Yichen was so angry that he almost blew up, and at this meeting today, he originally wanted to suppress Zhang Yang again, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaowen appeared halfway, and Liu, the head of the sports department, jumped out.

  He was still thinking in his heart that if he had known earlier, he would have removed this person first and let Hu Tao come up, and it wouldn't have been so embarrassing today.

  "I don't have money, if I can't do well it's my responsibility, you won't give me money, then I can only ask the school!"

  Director Liu also picked up where he left off, and as soon as Zhou Yichen finished speaking, he continued the conversation.

  But what he said also makes sense, after all, the sports department is still in his hands, if it's not done well, it's ultimately his responsibility, which gives Zhou Yichen a good reason, rather than him trying harder to get things done, even if he leaves later, he can leave with dignity, and let everyone know that he didn't step down because of his work ability.

  "Alright, how much money do you need!"

  Zhou Yichen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked softly, many people sitting beside him lowered their heads, only the ministers on the large round table kept sizing up Zhou Yichen and Minister Liu, thinking about what impact this matter would have on themselves or what benefits they could gain from it.

  At least 1,500!

  Director Liu stretched out his hand and flipped through it a few times, propaganda, prizes, plus some benefits for students who helped, it was roughly this number, he had indeed calculated it before.

  Although many students are volunteers, they still need to buy some water and a boxed lunch for the people helping out, so as not to let them get thirsty or hungry while assisting.

  "1,500? You don't know how much money we make in a year. You open your mouth and it's 1,500. Do you think I'm running a bank?"

  Zhou Yichen suddenly shouted and slammed his fist on the table, this time he was completely furious.

  With just that little budget for the year, the sports department has already taken a lot away. This is just an on-campus activity and it's going to cost this much money. He really opened his mouth this time, in the future there will be even more people coming to him asking for money.

  Zhou Yichen himself is wealthy and his family has money too, but he always draws a clear line between public and private matters, never thinking of using his own or his family's money for the student union.

  "Chairman Zhou, don't be angry, it's just 1,500 yuan, is it worth getting angry with your own classmates? Besides, Director Liu is also doing this for the public good. This money will be paid by our Foreign Affairs Department!"

  Zhang Yang, who had been smiling and sitting there all along, suddenly said something with a smile, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
