Chapter 617: New Members and Busy Week II
Brenda and Ohori became wide-eyed as they couldn't believe what Vivian was saying. After all, just a few days ago, the two sides had been fighting tooth and nail to win the election.
"I don't know if you guys saw the latest post in the Student Council Profile, but today we decided that the Club Festival will happen on 13 and 14 of March. This means that we have only a little over one month to organize the best festival of all. Which means that we have a lot of work to do for the next few weeks. And before the election, the girls and I already decided to invite a few people to join us if we managed to win the election." Vivian explained, "And after competing with the two of you, we saw how talented both of you are. So, we thought of inviting the two of you to join us."
Brenda and Ohori showed thoughtful expressions as they went over Vivian's words. The two girls had to admit that deep inside they felt good about themselves as they heard their senpai complimenting their talent.
"If I accept your offer, I can already say that I apply to run for school president next year." Brenda exposed her biggest goal.
"No problem." Vivian laughed, "We don't even know if we want to apply to run for the next year's election. After all, I already got what I wanted, the Letter of Recommendation to enter Rainbow Sakura College. While the girls also don't care about being president. Plus, I'm sure that if you win next year's election, the school will be in good hands."
Aurora nodded, "Yeah, we only applied for the student council because we thought it would be fun. Plus, we managed to think of such a good idea like the Club Festival that now we want to mark our names in the school history. If we manage to pull off this Club Festival, the next school presidents will be obligated to continue the tradition."
Brenda and Ohori were taken aback by how cool and open-minded the girls were.
They could see that Vivian and Aurora were being honest, so after thinking for a while, they looked at each other and made a decision.
"Then there's nothing to stop us from joining you." Brenda smiled, "I'm sure we will have a lot of fun throughout the year. Please take care of us."
"Yes, please take care of us." Ohori added as the two girls lightly bowed their heads.
Vivian, Aurora, Carolla, and Umaru promptly replied as they also bowed their heads, "Please take care of us."
They soon lifted their heads and smiled at each other.
"Welcome to the student council, Brenda-san, Ohori-san!" Umaru exclaimed with a happy smile.
"Let me add the two of you to our chat group!" Carolla exclaimed as she asked for the girls' contact numbers.
Just like that, the six girls talked for a good half of an hour as Vivian put the two newbies up to their plans.
That was how the student council managed to gain two new members.
Just like Vivian and the girls imagined, the two new members provided immense help throughout the entire week, especially when they worked on the plan to present to the principal.
Plus, the two girls were pleasant to be with, and consequently, the six girls soon became friends at a certain point during the week.
*back to Friday*
The six girls were having an important meeting on that Friday afternoon.
"Okay, did the student's club membership increase in the last 5 days?" Vivian asked. Aurora promptly replied, "As we expected, we did see a great increase in those students without any clubs. The deadline to join the clubs was today. And until yesterday, from my calculations, 98% of all students in the school are currently part of at least one club. Maybe this number will reach 99% with today's numbers."
"This means that almost every student in the school is involved with the Club Festival." Carolla commented.
"In other words, the responsibility we carry to organize this festival is sufficiently heavy." Vivian said seriously, "We have to give it our all."
"With only one month until the event, we should start advertising the event as soon as possible. Otherwise, there's not gonna have enough people to buy from the club stalls." Ohori suddenly said.
"I agree with Ohori." Aurora nodded her head.
"You're right, Ohori. That's why I'm gonna give you the important task of taking care of the event promotion. From what you said before, you have some experience in this area, so you're the best person for the job." Vivian said as she looked at the cute Ohori, "But don't worry, you won't be alone in this task. We talked with a few of our friends, and we managed to get their help."
Ohori wasn't surprised that she received this task, but she was surprised about this outside help, "What type of help?" She asked.
"Hmm, it's complicated, but in summary, Aurora's brother owns a few companies around the city. And heads of these companies agreed to lend their marketing teams to us to promote our Club Festival around the city." Vivian said with a smile.
"Yeah, you're free to use their resources to promote the festival, Ohori-chan. You can even ask for their help to produce material." Aurora smiled.
Of course, Ohori was taken by surprise when she heard that.
She was a little overwhelmed that Aurora trusted her enough to give her such a big channel to do whatever she wanted. And she was sure that it would cost a lot of money to do these promotions, but Aurora wasn't even hesitating.
'Aurora's brother must really dote on her. I have to take this seriously and I do my best to honor Aurora's trust!' Ohori thought to herself.
"Don't worry, Aurora-senpai. I'll do my best to promote the festival with their help. Next week, I promise to already have the promotion designs." Ohori said with a serious voice.
"We believe in you, Ohori-chan!"
"Yeah, we know you can do it."
The girls all supported Ohori.
"Brenda, I have another task for you." Vivian declared, "You'll be responsible for supervising the clubs to make sure that they are following the guidelines of the festival. After all, we don't want anyone cheating to win the competition. We will help with this task, but you're the person responsible for the task."
Brenda was the Chief of Justice in the student council, this meant that she took care of the disciplinary contentions around the school. So, it was in her scope of work to inspect the clubs
to avoid cheating.
"Don't worry, president. I'll put together a Task Force to monitor the clubs." Brenda said with
a calm expression.
"Also..."
Just like that, the six girls continued their important meeting.
There was only one month until the festival, would they be able to pull it off?
