Chapter 390: Chapter 390: The President’s Inauguration

Lai Shengxia unlocked her cellphone again, flipped through her contacts to find Ouyang Hua’s number, and dialed. After two beeps, Ouyang Hua’s languid voice came through, with the hustle and bustle of a party in the background: "Cousin? What do you want in the middle of the night?"

Lai Shengxia said, "I need you to do me a favor."

The next day, Tang Li didn’t stay at the Lai Family any longer; she took her suitcase and returned to Huafu No.1.

The winter break had already ended.

Tang Li packed up her things simply and moved back to Wentan Garden at the school.

Back at school, just in time for lunch.

Wu Xuehan had returned to school for classes after the New Year, and Yu Sui didn’t need to accompany Tang Li to Japan. These past few days, the two have been hanging out together, binge-watching American TV series on Vlog when they’re not attending classes.

Ever since Yu Sui broke up with Jiang Yiniing, her domineering personality had been reigned in a bit. Without someone by her side to stir things up, she no longer exploded like a firecracker at the slightest provocation.

Because Tang Li was back, the three ordered takeout in the dorm.

"Fu Si came to look for you quite a few times," Wu Xuehan, crouching on the chair, picked at the fish bones in the sour and spicy fish with her chopsticks, telling Tang Li mysteriously, "Also, it seems like his uncle really is Song Baiyan."

As she spoke, Wu Xuehan leaned over to grab her laptop from the desk: "The presidential inauguration is at 11:30, there’s a live stream link on Vlog, we can’t miss it!"

Tang Li paused while biting into her greens, then looked up at her.

Yu Sui, who had been watching Tang Li’s expression, pulled on Wu Xuehan’s sleeve, "Didn’t I tell you? She supported Huang Jiwen in the elections. It’s too much to watch the live stream in front of her."

"..." Tang Li.

Wu Xuehan let out an ’oh’, plugged in her headphones to the laptop: "Then I’ll watch it secretly."

"I’ll watch too," said Yu Sui, dragging her chair over.

Tang Li looked at the two opposite her and the laptop raised in front of her. Her mouth twitched into a slight smile; then she grabbed her own tablet and opened Vlog to search for "inauguration ceremony."

Tang Li also put on headphones.

Less than ten minutes left until 11:30.

In the live video, the camera focused on the podium and the backdrop of national flags.

Then, the camera turned to another area, showing dozens of politicians from the highest echelons arriving at the Parliament Building.

Tang Li saw Lai Wenyan, though his appearance on camera was but a fleeting one or two seconds.

By Lai Wenyan’s side was the dignified Ouyang Qian.

Lai Shengxia and Lai Yuaner were both there.

Qin Yansheng stood to Lai Shengxia’s right.

This scene felt eerily familiar to Tang Li, who then remembered that in her past life, Lai Wenyan had also participated in a presidential campaign after Song Baiyan was impeached.

It was an election campaign that was equally vigorous but with different candidates.

Compared to Ouyang Qian, Lai Shengxia played a significant role during Lai Wenyan’s campaign.

Even though Lai Wenyan ultimately lost the election, Lai Shengxia’s compelling campaign speech was widely reported by major media outlets. Lai Shengxia herself was even recognized as one of the year’s top ten outstanding young women, and some netizens praised that as long as one had seen Lai Shengxia’s speech, they would undoubtedly fall for this knowledgeable and accomplished Councilman’s daughter.

"Here it comes!"

Wu Xuehan’s anxious voice pulled Tang Li back from her memories. Tang Li looked back at her tablet and saw Song Baiyan appearing at the back of the podium, shaking hands and embracing the judges from the Supreme Court.

The new President’s family followed closely.

Song Jingtian’s hair was neat, slicked with hair gel, and combed into a side parting. He wore a little suit and bowtie, unusually well-behaved, walking behind led by Xiao Minglan.

Below the Congress building, the cheers from the crowd rose and fell.
