The votes were announced one by one.
As Richard expected, Wayne received the most votes.
Next was Richard himself, then Song Li, Chrissy came in third, and last was Lawrence.
Seeing this result, Richard did not show an unhappy look, but smiled and said: "It seems that Wayne is better."
Then, he said seriously: "Although you won this time, I will definitely win it back when the official election is held next semester!"
Before Wayne could react in any other way, a group of girls in the audience cheered enthusiastically.
"Wow~ Prince Richard looks so handsome when he refuses to admit defeat~"
"What should I do? I kind of regret voting for Wayne..."
Hey, hey, you should at least take into account the mood of my client!
Ignoring the whispers of the nymphos in his ears, Wayne stood up helplessly, but he still maintained the demeanor of a winner.
"In that case, I will wait and see you again in the next semester."
As the new president, it is customary to make a speech.
But what Wayne had prepared in advance was not this pure declaration of victory.
He walked up to the stage and stared at the various eyes below.
"Everyone, the philosophy I believe in is: It is better to do it once than to say it a hundred times. So I will use practical actions to show whether I am suitable for the position of president of the Lily Club."
"Please wait and see."
There was sparse applause in the activity room.
Wayne opened the plan he had written in his hand and suggested: "In order to appease the unpleasant experience of the last trip, and also to enhance the relationship between us all, I propose that the Lily Club take the lead in holding a masquerade ball."
This was the result of his discussion with Lawrence.
If you become the president of the Lily Club, you can legitimately use the Lily Club's funds.
Unlike most clubs in the academy that are established just for hobbies, the Lily Club can be said to be a symbol of the aristocratic spirit of the academy. Therefore, every year, regardless of the sponsorship given by the outside world or the funds released by the academy, Lily Club occupies an absolutely dominant position.
Hold a dance party in the name of the Lily Club, and use this as an opportunity to collect venue fees and registration fees. By the way, you can also take the opportunity to invite the foreign envoy to visit.
Kill three birds with one stone, saving both money and effort.
The best part is that everything is done within the rules.
If the Stuart envoy had the most basic political sensitivity, he would definitely not miss this best opportunity to understand the next generation of nobles in the Kingdom of St. Lornes.
"The masquerade allows everyone to wear all kinds of novel masks and conceal their identity. There will be no difference in status. Everyone is a distinguished guest of this ball..." He explained the rules in detail , the tone is very provocative.
There was a faint commotion from the audience.
"Ladies, just think about it. The person I danced with you inadvertently just now is probably a certain prince~"
"Ahhh..." The girls couldn't sit still.
"Wait until the dance is over, then summon up the courage to invite the person you like to leave the venue together, and take a look at her beauty in the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight..."
"Oh oh oh..." The boys couldn't sit still either.
Wayne smiled secretly as if his plan had succeeded.
In order to appease everyone's last concern, he continued to add: "If you are interested in participating, please register and pay the registration fee. Lily will screen all applicants to confirm that they are all 'qualified' nobles. Then I will issue an invitation letter to you individually."
For the Lily Club, which takes the sect's view very seriously, this basic rule is a must.
This was not a bad thing for the ball, since everyone attending was a high-ranking nobleman, and Wein was happy to charge a high fee.
Wool of the highest quality is not white when it is not made of wool.
As soon as Wayne finished speaking, Lawrence was the first to sign up and respond very actively. From this, it was as if a switch was turned on, and the enthusiasm of the members of the Lily Club was instantly mobilized by him. Everyone talked enthusiastically, and the activity room was in chaos for a while.
"I'm really impressed with you."
Seeing so many people signing up to participate, Richard had no choice but to sigh and give his name.
…
"Hey, have you heard? Lily Club is going to take the lead in organizing a 'Masquerade'!"
"I know, I know! I heard that many nobles will participate, as well as Prince Richard and Prince Lawrence~"
"I have already signed up, but I don't know if the Baron's daughter will be selected because of her background... Wuwu, I hope Lord Wayne will be more lenient with me~"
The news of the masquerade was like a spark that instantly ignited the entire campus.
Everyone is proud to be invited to this extremely high-level banquet and looks forward to an unforgettable and beautiful encounter at the ball.
"Wayne...you are so treacherous."
In the activity room of Lily Club.
Seeing Wayne holding the list in his hand and smiling from ear to ear, Chris was speechless.
"Ahem, how can this be called treachery?" Wayne tried hard to restrain his increasingly wild smile.
"Isn't this called wit?"
The candidates who signed up basically cover a group of the most popular nobles in the academy. With the participation of these people, this dance will be a great success.
As for the venue, of course it was chosen to be in a villa that has a close relationship with the family.
The place was used by my father as a banquet venue before. It covers a large area and has very high specifications. I can also use venue fees and other excuses to free up a sum of event funds, which is perfect.
How to put it this way, the manipulation method of aristocratic politics is actually very simple. As long as the relationship network behind the principal can be revealed, it will be very obvious to whose bag the money finally flows.
However, everyone is used to it. Similar practices have been done in every previous session, so his behavior will not cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
Rather, this phenomenon has become an invisible benefit of those important positions.
The witty classmate Venn accepted the list and looked at Lawrence solemnly.
"Lawrence, when the envoy arrives at the royal capital, be sure not to reveal that you want him to attend."
Lawrence was not reassured, so he couldn't help but emphasize it again. "The news must be revealed accidentally, so that he feels that it is their side that is making additional demands, so that he will not have other dissatisfaction about it."
With the important task of receiving envoys, Lawrence also received a sum of money from His Majesty the King, but the amount was not large.
Although the amount is not large, if the bulk of the reception is solved in this way, there will be some left over.
In this way, wouldn't Lawrence be able to have sufficient funds for concert preparations and reserves of wool for bedding?
