Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 43 - 42. Preparing for the autumn sports meet!

Ever since Huo Feng was outright rejected by Pu Sangzhi, he seemed to have taken a huge hit... This week, he had been absent from Pu Sangzhi’s side for several days in a row.

Without Huo Feng pestering her, Pu Sangzhi felt a great relief.

In these past few days, life went on as usual for her. Aside from studying, it was all about eating, drinking, and the rest—mundane yet stable.

On Thursday afternoon’s self-study class, the homeroom teacher Huo Mingshan announced something significant to the whole class: Longxiang High School’s autumn sports festival would be kicking off in two weeks!

The sports festival was a major event involving the entire school.

The main purpose of such collective activities was to enrich the students’ extra-curricular life, allowing them to develop fully in terms of moral character, intelligence, physique, and aesthetics. Moreover, it was an activity filled with positive energy to enhance the sense of collective honor and to forge a stronger sense of unity within the class.

Therefore, Huo Mingshan always placed great importance on the yearly sports festival.

He took up an entire self-study period to arrange the myriad details of the sports festival.

For example, the individual registration for dozens of sports events, the arrangement for the tug-of-war team competition, the cheerleading team organization, and the logistics group management.

Huo Mingshan, a very dedicated homeroom teacher, used his eloquent speech to encourage all students to actively participate in the sports.

The fact that their class was academically excellent did not mean they should scorn these physical activities.

Otherwise, other classes would definitely laugh behind their backs, saying that class 1 was full of bookworms with few physically fit people.

On the contrary, Huo Mingshan motivated all students to sign up eagerly, exercise hard, and give their all to strive for first place at the sports festival for their class!

He wanted everyone from other classes to know that class 1 was not only the top academic class but also the top in physical prowess!

Because Huo Mingshan had effectively brainwashed class 1, thereafter, there was definitely no shortage of students who signed up for the sports events!

The class officers had to set an example...

So as the academic representative, Pu Sangzhi steeled herself and signed up for the 1500 meters girls’ long-distance running and shot put.

After self-study class was over, Huo Mingshan, carrying the registration materials, left cheerfully.

At that time, the class president, Wu Beilei, held a meeting with the class officers.

Academic representative, Pu Sangzhi.

Sports representative, Wen Miao.

Arts representative, Zhu Dandan.

And the deputy class president, discipline monitor, life representative, labor representative, organization representative, and so on...

Class president Wu Beilei kept the class officers behind specifically to discuss the arrangements for the cheerleading team.

This was also a task assigned by Huo Mingshan to the class president.

"We have ten minutes. Let’s quickly decide on candidates for the cheerleading team. There’s a ’Most Beautiful Cheerleading Team’ award this time, so the selection is crucial. Old Huo entrusted us with this task, and we’ve got to make him proud. The goal is to win a prize, everyone needs to understand that," class president Wu Beilei began.

Wu Beilei had a fierce short haircut without bangs, styled in a middle part with a seventy-thirty split, and her appearance exuded a strong woman’s image. Coupled with the gold-rimmed glasses she wore, her aura was even sharper, the very picture of a leader.

"Let me start with my thoughts. We should choose based on looks, while ensuring that the candidates have uniform height and proper figures. The number should be set between nine to twelve. What do you guys think?"

Wu Beilei already had a plan in mind, so the rest of the class officers were actually just junior advisors.

No... They might as well have been mere nodding machines.

With the directive coming from Wu Beilei, they generally nodded in agreement, having no objections.

"Okay."

Wu Beilei pushed her gold-rimmed glasses up her nose and continued, "For the cheerleading captain, Sangzhi, you’ll take it."

"What?"

Caught off-guard by the appointment, Pu Sangzhi was momentarily stunned.

Before Pu Sangzhi could question it, Wu Beilei had already pointedly said to her, "Your beauty is widely acknowledged in our grade. Since our class has the beauty of the grade, for such a front-facing event, there could be no one else but the beauty of the grade."

"No, no... I’m not suited for this role."

Pu Sangzhi felt a surge of panic, waving her hands as she said, "And aren’t cheerleading uniforms kind of revealing?"

"Not at all. Old Huo wants something new, so this time I’m planning to ditch the usual short skirts and sleeves for traditional costumes."

Wu Beilei, while pushing up her glasses, said, "In the past couple of years, ’Hua Qiangu’ and ’Three Lives and Three Worlds’ have sparked a craze for xianxia, so I suggest we rent a batch of ethereal traditional costumes and open with a classical dance to dazzle with elegance and freshness. What do you all think?"

Wu Beilei’s efficiency was remarkable.

Huo Mingshan had only just announced the decision during the study period, and now Wu Beilei had even thought through the details.

Not to exaggerate, but she had even visualized quite a few scenes in her mind, including the glorious moment of winning the ’Most Beautiful Cheerleading Squad’ award...

"Traditional costumes are too ostentatious..." Pu Sangzhi voiced her opposition.

But apart from Pu Sangzhi, the reactions of the other class leaders... were perfunctory nods.

And among them, Zhu Dandan even raised both hands in support, "This idea is great! So innovative!"

Pu Sangzhi was speechless.

Seeing the situation, Wu Beilei nodded, "Majority rules, so let’s settle on this for now. I’ve also drafted a list of the 12 members. Take a look, and if there are any objections, do speak up."

Wu Beilei, displaying her incredible efficiency once again, pushed the notepad with the 12 names into the middle of the crowd.

The class leaders crammed their heads in to check...

Seeing that their own names weren’t on the list, most felt a sense of relief. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The students Wu Beilei had selected were all around 1.6 to 1.65 meters tall and of similar build, although their looks varied somewhat.

Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but point to a name, "Class rep, Wu Qiong is too dark, she’ll disrupt the team’s visual harmony."

Wu Beilei shot her a sharp look, "Do you have a better suggestion?"

Zhu Dandan pointed to herself, "I, I... I’ve learned dancing, and I’m fair and beautiful, perfect for the team!"

Wu Beilei squinted her eyes, "As far as I know, you’re 158 cm tall."

Zhu Dandan pleaded softly with a fist against her palm, "Just 2 centimeters short... If I wear shoes that are a bit taller, could that work?"

Wu Beilei coughed, "You’ll be on the waitlist. If someone doesn’t want to participate, then we’ll consider you."

Zhu Dandan nodded fervently, "Okay, okay, okay."

Wu Beilei looked at the others, "Any other concerns? Feel free to speak up."

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi raised her hand, boldly suggesting, "Can I drop out and let Dandan take my place?"

Wu Beilei instantly rejected the idea, "No way! You’re the face of class 1, and you’ve got to be the cheerleading captain."

Pu Sangzhi was on the verge of tears, "But I can’t dance..."

Wu Beilei bluntly replied, "Having the right looks is enough, just use the same charm you use on Huo Feng to enchant everyone else."

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

As Wu Beilei spoke, an idea suddenly lit up her mind, "Right, Huo Feng likes you, doesn’t he? He has a big influence in the school. You should get him to drum up support for you, aiming to help you win the ’Most Beautiful Cheerleading Squad’ award."

By then, Pu Sangzhi had run out of things to say.

Wu Beilei was a class leader with incredibly high efficiency, but she was also quite ruthless in her methods.

Wu Beilei coveted Huo Feng’s influence, but she hadn’t taken into account that the reason Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to make such a splashy appearance was specifically because of Huo Feng.

Thinking about dancing in front of everyone, especially as the lead dancer...

In Pu Sangzhi’s mind, she could already picture Huo Feng laughing at her from the crowd.

For some reason, just the thought of Huo Feng watching made her too scared to take the stage...
