She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.
Chapter 49 Departmental Interviews
There was no 8 AM class today; the second period in the morning was English. Jiang Lai and her three friends sat a little further back.
The English teacher on stage was still diligently lecturing, but everyone in the audience seemed a little distracted.

Tang Li: Ahhhhh! This afternoon is the department's recruitment day! I'm so excited! Anyone want to participate?
Zhao Ying: No, I want to wait for the club recruitment this weekend.
Li Xiangyue: I want to read the school newspaper!
Jiang Lai: I checked the student union's website and am considering joining the arts and culture department :)
The student union of Imperial Capital University has its own website, which contains comprehensive rules and regulations, and the organizational structure of its departments is also clearly presented.
Jiang Lai was initially unsure whether she should join the student council, but considering that joining would help her develop her abilities and would be a nice addition to her resume after graduation, she decided to give it a try.
The Arts and Literature Department aims to improve students' artistic literacy and create a positive campus cultural atmosphere. It organizes various entertainment activities that students enjoy, such as the Top Ten Singers competition, school anniversary celebrations, and arts and literature galas.
If I could join the arts and culture department, not only would my organizational skills improve, but I would also have many opportunities to perform on stage and appear on camera, which would likely earn me some goodwill.
Tang Li stomped her feet twice after seeing her roommates' messages, and then typed.

Tang Li: The Discipline Inspection Department!!! Doesn't anyone want to join the Discipline Inspection Department?! If so, skipping class and stuff... (doge)
Zhao Ying: ! Holy crap! That makes sense!
Jiang Lai: I don't want to go. It's a bit boring, and I might offend some people. There are also a lot of social obligations involved. Besides, we usually don't skip classes, right?
Lee Sang-yueh: +1
Tang Li: You guys can't, but I can!!!
Zhao Ying: (Sweating profusely) Then you go participate by yourself. We'll be counting on you from now on.
Lee Sang-yueh: +1
Jiang Lai: +1
Tang Li: (Tears streaming down her face)
The class passed quickly, and as soon as the bell rang, everyone rushed out of the classroom and headed to the cafeteria.

After lunch, there's an hour's rest time, followed by afternoon PE class. Jiang Lai and her roommates all chose table tennis. After PE, there are no more classes today, so she can go to her department interview.
Jiang Lai and her roommates arrived at the student activity center, a building that houses all the school's departments and student organization offices.
Should we act together or split up?
Zhao Ying raised her hand, "I'm not here for an interview, I'm just here to keep you company."
Tang Li had already made up her mind to join the Discipline Inspection Department. She glanced at the list in her hand and said, "The All-Media Department is on the fourth floor, the Discipline Inspection Department is on the second floor, and the Arts and Literature Department is on the third floor."
Zhao Ying suggested, "Then I'll go with Pear to the second floor first. If she finishes early, we'll go to the third floor to find A-Jiang, and then to the fourth floor to find Xiang Yue?"
"No problem." Everyone agreed.
After saying goodbye to her roommates, Jiang Lai went up to the third floor alone. She hesitated for a while in front of the room marked "Arts and Literature Department". Looking at the long line in front of her, she wondered if she could go to the Publicity Department next door instead. But after going around, she found that the Publicity Department was also crowded, so Jiang Lai returned to the Arts and Literature Department's line.
She went in quickly. The interviews were conducted in groups of five, and Jiang Lai was the fifth.
This is a room similar to a conference hall, with a rectangular table, many chairs around it, and a projector in front of it.
There were already four people sitting at the table, two men and two women, all of them handsome men and beautiful women, a real feast for the eyes.
After the five people went in, one of them asked them to sit down and gave each of them a form with basic information such as their college and class.
Jiang Lai filled out the form quickly and handed it back as soon as she finished, thus becoming the first of the five people to be interviewed.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am the Minister of Arts and Literature, these two are the Vice Ministers, and this is the Secretary..." One of the girls introduced herself and the person next to her.
"Our arts and literature department requires an initial interview followed by a second interview; this is the initial interview."
"Please introduce yourself first!" the vice minister sitting on the right said to Jiang Lai.
"Okay, my name is Jiang Lai..."
Another male vice-president asked, "What are your special skills?"
"Dancing, violin, guitar, painting..."
How do you understand the responsibilities of the Literature and Art Department?
"The Arts and Culture Department is responsible for all kinds of cultural and recreational activities at the school..."
"If you were to organize a school event..."
Jiang Lai's interview lasted about twenty minutes. During that time, the ministers and secretaries sitting opposite her kept nodding and their lips were always upturned. It seemed like she had made it through.
After receiving the minister's assurance that he would be notified via text message, Jiang Lai left the interview room of the Literature and Art Department. As soon as she came out, she saw Tang Li and Zhao Ying waiting outside.
"How is it?" Zhao Ying asked.
Jiang Lai gave a thumbs up, "Excellent." If nothing unexpected happens, the Literature and Art Department will definitely be in the running.
"Great! Everything's going smoothly on my end too!" Tang Li rushed over. "Shall we go upstairs and find Xiang Yue?"
"it is good!"
The fourth floor is the headquarters of the multimedia department. Jiang Lai and her roommate walked over and saw the school newspaper's editorial department, photography department, video department, design department, broadcasting department, network information department, and general affairs department.
"Xiangyue is going to the school newspaper, right?" Tang Li was quite curious, looking left and right.
There were quite a few people coming for interviews at the all-media department, with people waiting outside almost every department.
"There she is!" Zhao Ying, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Li Xiangyue, who was queuing up.
The three people walked up to Li Xiangyue. "How is it?"
"I just finished writing a draft and am now waiting for feedback." Li Xiangyue looked anxious. "It seems very strict."
"After all, it's an all-media platform?" Jiang Lai comforted her, then suddenly remembered that she seemed to have an all-media minister in her friend list.
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Jiang Lai saw Lan Liting walk out of the office next door.
"Senior Lan!" she called out.
"Hmm?" Lan Liting turned her head and saw Jiang Lai. She immediately walked over and asked, "Are you here for an interview for the All-Media position?"
"No, no, no, it's my roommate." Jiang Lai pointed to Li Xiangyue standing to the side.
"Have you finished writing the manuscript?" "Yes, I have. Tell me to wait in line."
"Then it's not a big problem." Lan Liting said a few words to Li Xiangyue, and then said to Jiang Lai, "Are you alright now?"
"No, what happened?"
"Okay, then come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Lai glanced at her roommate, "Then I'll go with my senior first? Send me a WeChat message when Xiangyue is done?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead!"
After saying goodbye to her roommate, Jiang Lai followed Lan Liting down the corridor.
"Senior, where are we going?"
"The Student Union Office," Lan Liting said, "Our multimedia team is mainly responsible for campus news writing, photography, external publicity, new media operation, campus radio, and campus history museum tours."
Jiang Lai didn't understand why she was telling her all this, but she still replied, "Okay, I understand."
Lan Liting led her into an office, where people were already inside.
001: "Lin Chaoyin and Wen Zhi, who are available for romance, have been detected."
This is truly rare; it's the first time I've seen two people I'm trying to woo together.
She's met Wen Zhi, but who is Lin Chaoyin?
There are five people in this office: three women and two men.
"Let me introduce you. This is Lin Chaoyin, the student council president," Lan Liting said, pointing to a long-haired girl.
So she was Lin Chaoyin.
Jiang Lai nodded and smiled at her in a friendly manner, subtly observing her.
The girl in front of me had a baby face, her hair was tied in a bun, and she was about 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a black skirt and a white Peter Pan collar short-sleeved shirt.
Although her outfit is quite cute, you would never look down on her because of her face and attire, because she possesses a leadership quality that contradicts her appearance and style—confident, powerful, and authoritative.
"Hello!" Lin Chaoyin greeted with a smile.
"This is Wen Zhi, the head of the photography department."
Wen Zhi nodded expressionlessly without saying a word; she was the aloof type.
Jiang Lai didn't mind and smiled and nodded at her.
"This is Xie Qian, the head of the video department."
A cheerful-looking boy waved to Jiang Lai and said, "Hello!"
Jiang Lai waved her hand and said, "Hello!"
"These are the student council secretaries, Zhou Jia and Zheng Nan," Lan Liting introduced the remaining two.
Lan Liting said to everyone, "This is the junior I mentioned to you before."
"I know, I know, I knew as soon as she came in. I saw it on the push notification." Xie Qian didn't sit in the chair, but sat on the desk, looking nonchalant. "She's the model you recommended to Wen Zhi!"
Wen Zhi looked at Jiang Lai, her face still expressionless. "Yes, it's her."
"Not only that, our school's promotional videos are all filmed by freshmen every year. This year's choice hasn't been decided yet. What about her? She's from the business school, definitely a top student."
"What about the art academy? In previous years, it was always the students from the art academy who starred in the promotional videos." Zhou Jia adjusted his glasses.
"Let them put forward their candidates, and then we'll choose!" Lan Liting didn't believe that there would be any freshmen this year who were prettier than Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai listened from the side, completely confused.
Lin Chaoyin said, "I have no objection, but if we want everyone to be convinced, we still need to conduct selection and voting."
A bright smile graced her baby face. "I personally like this junior. The art school always uses this to get funding from me, it's so annoying."
Zheng Nan: "I'm also from the business school, and I'm voting for my junior."
Xie Qian swung his leg: "I'm fine with anything."
Lan Liting: "Then let's do it this way!"
She turned around and gestured for Jiang Lai to sit down, "Junior, sit down, let me tell you about this."
“When I registered for school last time, I saw you and felt that you were very photogenic, so I mentioned you to Wen Zhi, who is my photography director. She is currently participating in a national college student photography competition and is short of a model for portrait photography, so I recommended you to her.”
Jiang Lai sat in the chair and nodded.
“Then, our school shoots a new promotional video every year to showcase the new students and also for recruitment the following year,” Lan Liting said. “The Business School is our school’s flagship school, and you’re in the Finance Department, plus you’re good-looking, so you’d be perfect for shooting the promotional video. I don’t know if you’re interested? It’s not going to happen right away, you can take your time to think about it.”
Just as Jiang Lai was about to speak, Lin Chaoyin said, "If you're interested, you can give it a try. These activities make it easy to gain exposure in front of school leaders, which will be beneficial for your future development."
Jiang Lai certainly had no objections; in fact, this matter was entirely beneficial to her.
She flashed a big smile, "Of course I'm interested! Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity, right? My senior thinks so highly of me, I can't let her down!"
"Let's add each other on WeChat. You can ask anyone here if you have any questions," Lin Chaoyin said with a smile.
“Okay!” Jiang Lai opened her phone, scanned everyone’s QR codes, and added them as friends.
"Does your senior have anything else to do? I need to go see my roommate."
Lan Liting thought for a moment, "That's all. If anything comes up, we'll contact each other via WeChat."
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Lai originally planned to leave on her own, but unexpectedly Wen Zhi spoke up, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
"Ah good."
Wen Zhi walked out of the office with her.
While waiting for the elevator, Wen Zhi suddenly spoke up: "We've met before—"
"Before? Are you referring to that time at the dessert shop, senior? Were you out doing field research at that time?"
Wen Zhi seemed a little relieved and said, "Yes."
"It seems you really love photography, senior. What do you study? Digital media?"
Wen Zhi shook her head, "Fashion communication."
Jiang Lai was genuinely surprised. She asked, "Fashion communication?"
"Correct."
"Um—I always felt that someone with your senior's temperament should be involved in art, like painting or something."
Wen Zhi seemed to smile, her voice soft.
"You look much prettier when you smile, senior. You should smile more often. You usually look a bit aloof."
Wen Zhi: "Really?"
"Ah."
Meanwhile, in the office.
“Although it’s said that the art school should recommend someone, I think the final choice will definitely be this junior. However, the male lead could be someone from the art school.” Xie Qian touched his chin and recalled Jiang Lai’s face. “This junior’s face is really good. She’s both beautiful and charming, and she looks great on camera.”
"Right?! I liked her at first sight! It's a pity I'm not a guy, otherwise I would definitely pursue her," Lan Liting said regretfully.
"Then I'll go?" Xie Qian joked.
"You're a seasoned senior in college, so don't even think about freshman girls."
Xie Qian is from the School of Architecture, which is a five-year program. He shouldn't have been the head of the video department long ago, but his outstanding abilities led the teacher to make an exception and retain him.
"Damn it, you hit a nerve." Xie Qian looked hurt, then asked Lin Chaoyin, "What do you think of this junior?"
Lin Chaoyin didn't look up, her hands still typing away, seemingly indifferent, and said, "I do like her quite a bit."
I admire the confidence and fearlessness she exudes.
