Chapter 401: If Successful, the Influence Will Be Huge
Song Chu was a little surprised. She didn’t expect them to invite her to join the student union.
“I’m sorry, I have things to do soon and I won’t be able to manage. I even have to ask for leave from classes. I don’t have time to participate in the student union.”
She had recently finished researching a method to improve a type of corn seed and was preparing to conduct experiments.
She had also researched the improvement solution for soil and the gene solution for increasing yield, but found that many plants could not meet the requirements for purifying raw materials. So she took a step back and prepared to research a fertilizer that could increase yield first.
Then she would prepare a solution to improve the soil and increase its mineral content. These three research projects would be carried out simultaneously. She simply didn’t have the time and energy to be distracted by other things.
The two were a little disappointed when they heard Song Chu’s words.
Peng Jianguo thought for a moment and said, “Student Song, you are the top scorer of this year’s Gaokao. We really hope you can join the student union.”
“If you are busy, you don’t have to worry about organizational issues. If you have time, you can participate in activities. If not, it’s fine.”
“That’s right, our External Liaison Department really needs talents like you, Student Song. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have time because of your experiments. You can just participate in our activities when you are free,” said Ye Jin, the Minister of the External Liaison Department, with a smile.
President Zhu had been urging them to invite Song Chu to join the External Liaison Department, and he was curious about what qualities made President Zhu think so highly of her.
He casually mentioned it while having dinner last night. His father was very excited and told him to try his best to befriend Song Chu, and that inviting her to join their External Liaison Department was definitely the right choice. President Zhu’s recommendation was correct.
He was even more stunned. After asking, he found out that Song Chu was the Female Comrade that his father had mentioned before, the one who was very eloquent and capable, and who made foreign businessmen back down.
His father was a Director in the Foreign Affairs Department and a subordinate of Minister Song Yi. He had previously lamented that their Minister wanted to recruit a young Comrade but failed.
At that time, he was still wondering which Comrade was so impressive that they even refused Minister Song’s invitation.
He really didn’t expect it to be their new top scorer and their school’s beauty. So this afternoon, he called the President to come and find Song Chu.
Since both of them had said so, Song Chu couldn’t refuse anymore. When she was in university, she also devoted a lot of time to studying and research, and rarely participated in school activities.
Now that she was starting over, once the experiments were almost done, she could participate more and experience it.
“Alright then, I agree to join the student union. I will participate in the student union and school activities when I have time,” she said.
Ye Jin and the other were delighted. “That’s great.”
“Student Song, please join our External Liaison Department. I will notify you when there are events or activities. You can choose whether to participate based on your schedule,” he added.
Song Chu nodded. “Okay.”
Ye Jin asked, “Shall we go to the student union to fill out a form first?”
“Okay.”
Song Chu went with the two to the student union and filled out a membership form, officially joining the External Liaison Department.
The two also called over the members of the student union and introduced Song Chu to them.
These people had all attended the freshman assembly speech, but this was their first time interacting with Song Chu so closely.
Everyone knew about Song Chu being named the school’s beauty recently. Not to mention, seeing her up close, she was even more beautiful. Her skin was fair and delicate, like it was made of jade.
No matter the era, looks are justice. In addition, Song Chu was good at dealing with people and was very easy-going and cheerful. She quickly became familiar with everyone and won their favor.
There were also a few people who were not satisfied with the President and Minister’s decision. They wondered why Song Chu could participate in activities when she had time and not participate when she didn’t. It was too much of a special treatment.
However, they only felt uncomfortable in their hearts and didn’t say it out loud.

After completing the formalities of joining the student union and chatting with everyone for a while, Song Chu left.
She didn’t return to the dormitory but went directly to the President’s office.
President Zhu hadn’t left work yet and was looking at a document. When he saw Song Chu, he immediately smiled and asked her to come in and sit down. He asked about her recent situation, such as whether she was getting used to things.
He looked like an elder treating a junior, very warm and caring.
Song Chu chatted with him for a while and then said, “President, I have three experimental projects that I want to start. My laboratory is not ready yet, so I need to use the school’s laboratory.”
“That’s no problem. We promised you that you could use the laboratory whenever you needed it,” President Zhu said with a smile.
Song Chu smiled and said, “Okay, then I will need it tomorrow. I hope to borrow the school’s best laboratory for a period of time.”
“And then borrow a few expert professors to work with me on those three projects,” she stated her real purpose for coming to see President Zhu.
After all, her time and energy were limited. It would be better to have help with this kind of project.
President Zhu was taken aback. “What projects are you working on? Let me know first, and then I can ask around the school to see if any expert professors are willing to join.”
The expert-level professors in the school were treasures. If they were not interested, he couldn’t force them to help a student with experiments.
Song Chu had already thought of this. She took out a file bag from her shoulder bag, “These are the experiments I’m proposing. All three are in here. You can discuss them with the school’s expert professors. Those who are suitable and interested can participate.”
She was very confident in her thesis and research data. She was even more convinced that experts in this field would be interested after seeing it and wouldn’t want to miss out.
President Zhu took the file bag but didn’t open it immediately. “How about I hold a meeting tomorrow and gather all the expert professors in the school who specialize in these areas? Let them take a look and decide.”
“Okay, you can keep the documents. Let me know when you have news,” Song Chu said.
President Zhu nodded. “No problem.”
Song Chu didn’t stay much longer. After a few more casual words, she took her leave.
After she left, President Zhu finally opened the file bag with some curiosity.
Originally, he wasn’t really paying attention. He knew that Song Chu was an expert in biopharmaceuticals and had now switched to researching agriculture. What good projects could she come up with in such a short time?
But he didn’t want to dampen the enthusiasm of such a promising talent, so he was prepared to help her.
Who knew that after reading the first project document, the casual look in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by excitement and disbelief.
Then he couldn’t wait to take out the second and third project documents. After reading them, he was even more shocked. He never expected Song Chu to come up with such projects, and three of them at that.
She was truly a genius among geniuses. He looked at the project papers and data, and they were quite reliable.
If these three projects could really be successfully tested, the help and influence on agriculture would be huge.
