    Xia Yangyang was very satisfied with the final result.


    Ah K was truly ruthless.


    Maintaining a one-vote advantage couldn’t have been easy.


    And that one vote was probably enough to infuriate Kim Fei’er.


    Victory was within her reach, but she was one vote short. No matter how many votes she tried to manipte, it didn’t help.


    Indeed, Kim Fei’er was livid.


    And it was clear to her that this was Xia Yangyang’s counterattack.


    The next day, Kim Fei’er reported Xia Yangyang to the dean’s office.


    The reason was poprity vote maniption, and she demanded that the first ce winner should be disqualified.


    Teacher Yin, the dean, happened to oversee the school festival’s matters.


    Today, he was nning to finalize roles and discuss rehearsal arrangements.


    He had heard about the close fight with a margin of “one vote” on the forum.


    Xia Yangyang said, “I did manipte votes, but I am certainly not the only one. The school should thoroughly investigate. Teacher Yin, I suggest that anyone involved in vote maniption should be disqualified from thepetition.”


    Kim Fei’er was stunned.


    So that was Xia Yangyang’s move, openly manipting votes so that the school would conduct an in-depth investigation, implicating Kim Fei’er.


    But how could Director Yin not know what was going on?


    Vote maniption was inevitable in a public voting system.


    What’s more, one of the girls was the mayor’s daughter, and the other was a new rising star with the highest poprity and a new drama in the works.


    The school had internally decided the selections, but made it public to leverage Xia Yangyang’s surging poprity, anticipating that it would have a knock-on effect on the school.


    However, Kim Fei’er wasn’t easy to handle either.


    Especially now that they’d both manipted votes and had simr poprity levels.


    If everyone was disqualified, it would certainly be a big loss for the school.


    After some thought, Director Yin decided: “As both of you have simr poprity, I will give both of you the script. You both will form your own teams and rehearse. After half a month, we’ll have a public performance selection in the school’s auditorium. The selection will be based on the number of students who attend. The more people thate, the higher your poprity. The team with the highest poprity will participate in the school’s cultural festival. Isn’t that fair?”


    Director Yin had already calcted his n – everyone would rehearse, there would be no wasted time, and it could increase publicity within the school. Plus,petition would encourage motivation.


    Eventually, both of them agreed.


    When leaving the dean’s office, Kim Fei’er said to Xia Yangyang: “Xia Yangyang, let’s make a bet on who gets chosen for the cultural festival.”


    Xia Yangyang replied, “Let’s bet then, what’s the wager?”


    Kim Fei’er said, “If I win the selection, you’ll p yourself three times. How about that?”


    Kim Fei’er was extremely smug, as if she could already see herself pping Xia Yangyang.


    Xia Yangyang replied, “Okay, but if I win, you will publicly dere on the school radio that the posts you made were all nderous lies and personally apologize to me!”


    Kim Fei’er promptly agreed, “Alright, it’s settled.”


    Xia Yangyang took the script and left.


    Now that she had agreed, she had to start preparing.


    The reason she made the bet with Kim Fei’er was to leave herself no way out.


    This was her only chance to clear her name, and she couldn’t let it slip away easily.


    If she didn’t fight back harder this time, she would continue to be the target of countless rumors. Xia Yangyang waspletely fed up.


    Xia Yangyang went to Wen Xiaochu.


    She discussed the strategy with her.


    Wen Xiaochu said, “Finding people isn’t difficult. You’re the president of the news club, there are plenty of people willing to participate. However, I must remind you, Yangyang, Kim Fei’er is a performing arts student and is very much favored by her teachers. The performing arts department will surely assist her in rehearsing in order to seize this opportunity. This is a significant advantage. Moreover, there are many talented and popr performers on their side. If you want to surpass Kim Fei’er, the only thing you need to do now is find a partner who can outperform those in the performing arts department.”


    Xia Yangyang and Wen Xiaochu thought of the same person and they simultaneously eximed, “Gu Zhaohan!”
