Chapter 643

One morning a month after school started, the March breeze swept across the campus with a cool breeze. Su Miao and several roommates stood under the sycamore tree in front of the office building, looking at the long line at the registration office.

The red banner fluttered in the wind, and the big words "Asian Games Volunteer Recruitment" were particularly eye-catching.

They went to the cafeteria to have lunch together. When they came back, they heard that the Asian Games Organizing Committee was coming to the school to recruit volunteers and the Student Union would assist, so they came over to take a look.

"Look over there!" Guo Xiaojie suddenly tugged at Su Miao's sleeve, "Isn't that Senior Li Xiang?"

Su Miao looked in the direction of her finger and saw Li Xiang wearing a white shirt and a gray wool vest, helping to maintain order and handing out registration forms.

Meng Linlin looked at the huge crowd and said, "There must be hundreds of people here. I don't know how many volunteers are needed, or if there's a quota."

"Regardless of whether there is a quota or not, it's always a good idea to queue up early to get the form and fill it out and submit it early."

Wang Yingtong was about to squeeze in with everyone else. He Rong turned to the two children and said, "Wait for us outside!"

Seeing the three people leaving happily, Guo Xiaojie said regretfully:

"Miao Miao, this is the first time I feel that being young is not a good thing. We didn't make it to the first comprehensive international sports competition held by New China!"

"It's okay. Even if we can't be volunteers, we can still support the Asian Games in other ways. We will have the opportunity to participate in person in the future." Su Miao comforted her.

Just after they waited for a while, a female cadre in her thirties walked quickly from the direction of the toilet.

She had short hair cut to her ears, wore the navy blue uniform of the Asian Games Organizing Committee, and had a "Panpan" badge on her chest.

When she walked past Su Miao, she suddenly paused and asked in a gentle voice:

"Classmate, have you signed up to be a volunteer?"

Su Miao and Guo Xiaojie shook their heads in unison: "Teacher, we didn't sign up."

"Huh? Why didn't you sign up? This event is so meaningful! It's a rare opportunity!"

Su Miao explained: "Because we are not yet 18 years old, there is an age limit for reading newspapers."

The female cadre nodded in understanding and said, "Because most of the volunteers had already been recruited at the end of last year, and on November 25th, the Asian Games Volunteer Service Corps was established.

Because we are filling vacancies now and don't need so many people, so for social recruitment, it is best to be at least 18 years old, but the requirement can be relaxed for outstanding college students."

She took a step back, looked Su Miao up and down, and asked with satisfaction:

"Classmate, how tall are you?"

"Now it seems to be 1.67 meters."

"Well, that's great! You have a great appearance and spirit. I hope you can join the team and show our foreign friends the elegance of our young generation."

Guo Xiaojie poked Su Miao's back quietly and whispered, "Miao Miao, please agree to it."

Su Miao smiled and said, "Teacher, I'd love to join. My roommate is also very interested in joining the volunteer team. Could she sign up as well?"

Guo Xiaojie didn't expect Su Miao to mention her, so she quickly took half a step forward and straightened her back, hoping to make herself, who was 1.6 meters tall, appear taller.

The female cadre nodded and waved to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang ran over, saw Su Miao and Guo Xiaojie, nodded, and asked:

"Teacher, what's the matter?"

"Have these two students fill out the registration form and hand it directly to me."

After the female cadre finished her explanation, she said to Su Miao and Guo Xiaojie:

"After submitting the application form, there will be a simple interview next week. Based on the interview results, we will decide whether to admit you and which service position you will be assigned to.

Don't be too nervous, this is mainly to test your ability to respond, such as how to deal with emergencies. Okay, I have to get busy."

"Okay, thank you, teacher!" The two answered in unison, their voices full of joy.

Li Xiang took out two forms and handed them to them. The paper exuded a faint scent of ink.

When Su Miao took the pen, the metal pen body still retained the body temperature of the students who had used it before.

Li Xiang reminded him, "Fill in more details. The foreign language proficiency column is especially important."

Guo Xiaojie suddenly looked up and asked him, "Senior! Does the logistics team need someone who knows how to tie hemp rope? Didn't you see me when we went hiking before? I'm really good at tying things!"

Li Xiang didn't expect her to ask that. Thinking of her previous skill in tying things, he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Where did you learn this skill of tying things?"

Guo Xiaojie shook her head proudly. "My second uncle works at the grain station! As soon as I could walk, I went there to help every year. Carrying sacks and tying hemp ropes is what I'm best at!"

Su Miao was amused by her. As she filled out the form, she said, "Xiao Jie is the 'packing expert' in our dormitory. Last time when we went home for the holiday, she packed all four of our luggage neatly by herself."

Li Xiang thought about it very seriously and said:

"The logistics team does need talent like you, but the specific assignment will depend on the interview results. Please fill out the form first, and you can take the initiative to mention your strengths during the interview next week."

Guo Xiaojie's eyes lit up, and she quickly wrote down the words "bundling and transporting" neatly in the "special skills" column, and even made them thicker on purpose.

After filling out the form, the two handed it to Li Xiang. He took it, looked at it, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"That was Director Zhang from the Asian Games Organizing Committee's reception office. She's always had a good eye. Su Miao, since she specifically asked you to sign up, you'll most likely be assigned to the VIP reception team."

Su Miao blinked in surprise: "Really? Then...should I prepare something in advance?"

Li Xiang smiled and said, "There's no point in cramming at the last minute. Just perform normally. We might test your English level."

Normally, BFSU and our English major volunteers will be given priority to entertain foreign guests, but if you have good oral skills, you will also have a good chance."

As they were talking, Wang Yingtong and the other three squeezed back in. When He Rong saw the registration form in Su Miao's hand, she exclaimed, "How did you two get to sign up too?"

Guo Xiaojie danced with excitement. "Just now, a leader from the Asian Games Organizing Committee specifically asked Miaomiao to sign up! He said that the age limit can be relaxed for outstanding college students!"

Meng Linlin said enviously, "If we had known earlier, we would have lined up later. Maybe we could have met the leader."

Wang Yingtong patted her shoulder and said, "That's enough. It's good enough that you can register. Let's go back to the dormitory!"

On the way back, the five girls chattered about possible interview questions.

The shadow of the sycamore tree danced on them, and the March wind seemed to grow warmer.
