After hearing this, Qin Siyang pondered alone for a moment.
Then he said to Zhao Longfei, "Principal Zhao, I understand and agree with everything you've said. But I don't think it's appropriate to make my selection as a [Five Good Student] the focus of this power struggle."
"First, I'm a freshman, and my points are too low. That's a serious weakness. My chances of becoming a [Five Good Student] this year weren't high to begin with. I feel like if the other side puts up even a little resistance, I'll probably have to admit defeat. So if we open with my [Five Good Student] selection, we don't seem to have much chance of winning."
"Second, no matter how we fight, Secretary-General Gu still has to give his approval in the end. He's already said he doesn't like us drumming up support like this, which means we've put ourselves on the back foot. If we keep fighting, our chances still won't be good."
"So, Principal Zhao, why fight them on ground where our odds of winning are so low? Wouldn't it be better for me to withdraw from the selection and watch what they do next?"
Zhao Longfei shook his head, rejecting Qin Siyang's strategy of taking a step back to give himself more room.
"I just discussed what you said with my elder brother. Our conclusion was that it won't work."
"Why?"
"The [Five Good Student] selection is only a pretext for turning one force against another. You've only just learned about this, so you haven't figured out their next move. I can tell you."
Zhao Longfei narrowed his eyes, his cigarette still in hand. "They'll suppress you and use the opportunity to reduce the number of Crystal Coins you hold. Then they'll turn the fire on the Zhao Family
