Luo Chen's lips twitched slightly.
However, none of this surprised me at all.
After all, the only person who could have anonymously uploaded his 32nd move opening sequence to the shogi forum and intentionally kept his identity a secret was Shijo Keita 510!
There is no doubt that the other party is trying to curry favor with me by doing this.
Seeing that Luo Chen remained silent, Shijo Maki quickly explained, "Of course, don't misunderstand. Although you are a staff member, you are definitely not a retainer or subordinate. Grandpa and Father will treat you as their best friend."
"I have a question for you." Luo Chen interlaced his fingers and rested his chin on his hands in a tower shape.
This posture is very imposing.
Despite having received some education in imperial matters from the Shinomiya family, Shijo Maki was slightly intimidated by this confrontation.
She nodded obediently.
"At the banquet that night, I also met someone, Ikuishi Mitsuhiro, a 9th Dan from Kansai. Is he also an advisor to your Shijo family?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.
Shijo Maki's eyes widened, and she retorted in a trembling voice, "How could that be? Lord Ikuishi Mitsuru is just my grandfather's close friend. Not to mention the Shijo family, even the Shinomiya family wouldn't be able to recruit him as an advisor!"
"Why?" Luo Chen asked knowingly.
Shijo Maki subconsciously replied, "As one of the few top nine A-rank players in the Japanese shogi world and the only true god in the Kansai shogi world, Ikuishi Mitsuru has such a high status, he certainly wouldn't be willing to submit to someone else."
Luo Chen shrugged and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "So, you think just because he's unwilling, I'll agree?"
Chapter 123 Oh my? Conquer? President, she wants to conquer you!
"Eh?"
Shijo Maki paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Lord Ikuishi Mitsuru is a 9-dan A-rank, while you are just an ordinary professional Go player."
Luo Chen gently rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Fine, no matter what you think, my answer is, I'm not willing."
At this moment, Shijou Maki once again displayed the strength she had shown eight days ago, her eyes shining as she said, "I will persuade you until you agree!"
"what ever."
Luo Chen shrugged.
After thinking for a moment, Shijo Maki decided to take this opportunity to explain in more detail, such as the benefits of joining the Shijo family as a staff member.
She took a small sip of hot tea, cleared her mind, and began formally, "Well, regarding our Shijo family, Luo Chen, you might not know much about it..."
"Ara~!"
A sudden low laugh interrupted Shijou Maki's words.
She suddenly turned her head, slightly displeased.
Luo Chen also tilted his head to look.
At the student council entrance, Kaguya Shinomiya gently pushed open the door, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and stared at Maki Shijou with a half-smile, correcting her:
"Maki-kun, when addressing the president, you should call him president. As for calling him Luo Chen-kun, please don't do that anymore. It's very impolite."
Shijou Maki's pupils dilated slightly, and in almost a second, her demeanor changed. She smiled crisply and exclaimed, "So it's Great-Auntie! Oh ho ho~!"
A "╬" appeared on Kaguya Shinomiya's forehead.
That idiot!
"Maki-kun, we're actually about the same age, so there's no need to be so formal about how we address each other at school. Just call me Kaguya-kun," Kaguya Shinomiya said with a forced smile.
Shijou Maki raised her head sharply in response: "That won't do. According to seniority, it would be very disrespectful if I didn't call my great-aunt 'great-aunt'."
"Oh, really?"
Kaguya Shinomiya narrowed her eyes, revealing a very dangerous glint in them.
Shijo Maki raised her chin, showing no fear whatsoever.
Although she is inferior to Kaguya Shinomiya in every way, the title of "great-aunt" is Kaguya Shinomiya's biggest weakness.
none of them!
For her, dealing with Kaguya Shinomiya felt like she was trying to squeeze every last drop of profit out of her.
"Hi hi~! Kaguya-san, Chika-chan is here! Welcome to your first day in the student council... Ahhh? Maki-san, you're here too? 〃々!"
A lively voice from outside broke the tense atmosphere.
Chika Fujiwara makes a strong entrance!
Knowing that it was not appropriate for Shijou Maki to stay any longer, she confidently bid farewell to Luo Chen:
"In that case, President Luo... see you next time, I will definitely conquer you!"
Luo Chen: "??"
Conquer? What a blatant and insolent statement!
"Oh my?"
As expected, after Shijou Maki left, this word caught Fujiwara Chika's attention the most. She came over with great interest and looked Luo Chen up and down, circling around him: "So, young master and Maki have progressed so quickly?"
Luo Chen pressed his hand against Fujiwara Chika's face, pushed her away, and said with disdain, "What nonsense are you thinking? Besides, didn't you hear what the vice president said? If you're at school, please call me president."
"Hi~! President!"
Fujiwara Chika immediately stood at attention and saluted with her head held high.
Luo Chen chuckled to himself.
"Sorry I'm late."
As they were talking, the last member of the student council arrived.
Secretary Shirogane Miyuki!
Luo Chen thought to himself, "Now we only need two more members to form the Xiuzhi Academy Student Council."
One is a true man – Yu Ishigami.
If this guy loosens his control and recruits the first accountant for the student council, he'll likely end up in a relationship.
Another one is Iino Miko, who will have to wait until at least next year when they advance to their third year.
As expected, this guy will probably compete with me for the student council president position.
Of course, Luo Chen did not intend to save the remaining two opportunities for the title "Extraordinary Influence" until then.
Totally unnecessary.
Within a year, he was confident that he could use his real abilities to spread his influence and credibility throughout Xiuzhi.
As for now!
"Everyone is here. Let's begin the first collective meeting of all members of the newly appointed student council."
Sitting at the head of the conference table, Luo Chen tapped the table and spoke.
"Hi~! President."
Fujiwara Chika was the first to raise her hand.
"Hi~" Shirogane Miyuki nodded.
Kaguya Shinomiya was the last one. After glancing at Luo Chen, she nodded slightly and said, "Hi~ President."
The main matters concerning the first meeting were reported by Vice President Kaguya Shinomiya.
The most important thing this week is probably the mock exam. Although it is an internal school mock exam and does not participate in the city or national scoring, its importance is by no means ordinary.
In addition, another key point is autumn travel, also known as school trips.
The student council cannot directly decide where each class goes, but it needs to help with specific things like travel expenses, bus arrangements, and time coordination.
After these two matters are dealt with, the most important policy issue that comes with each new student council president taking office is the policy itself.
"First, regarding studies." Standing and giving her report, Kaguya Shinomiya looked towards Luo Chen, clearly waiting for his reply.
Luo Chen, still with his hands crossed and chin resting on his hand, smiled and said, "Regarding learning, I believe the most important points are a balance of relaxation and relaxation, prioritizing interest, mutual encouragement, and establishing a reward and punishment system."
"Eh~? I've never heard of this mode before, President, please tell me more." Fujiwara Chika showed a curious expression.
Luo Chen held up one finger and said, "You can't keep pushing yourself when it comes to learning. Only by balancing relaxation and rest can you better promote brain development and progress, right?"
“Agreed!” Fujiwara Chika immediately chimed in, playing the straight man.
"Then, what does the next sentence mean, President?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "It's very simple. I hope to propose to the board of directors that we modify some of the class schedule policies, turning the fourth period in the morning into a self-study period, allowing students to freely form study groups, assign tasks, go anywhere on campus they want to study and exchange ideas, and record what they have learned and submit it every week."
Kaguya Shinomiya narrowed her eyes in surprise. It sounded like a very good appeasement policy, and even she was somewhat tempted.
Needless to say, Fujiwara Chika, who was standing next to her, was so excited that her eyes were shining, and she slammed her hand on the table in unison: "I agree! I agree! I agree!"
Luo Chen asked Bai Yin Yuxing, "What does Secretary Bai Yin think?"
"This matter..." Shirogane Miyuki rested his chin on the tip of his pen, a conflicted expression on his face.
For an exceptionally gifted student like him, missing a class is an absolutely unacceptable sin.
However, on the other hand, he cannot deny that studying together with classmates can help encourage each other to make progress.
