Chen Shuang acted as if nothing had happened, still smiling and greeting the three people.

Of the three, only Wei Huaqiang showed some emotion; Zhang Hongmei and Liang Yongmin remained unchanged.

Liang Yongmin admired this young girl from the bottom of his heart. To have such meticulous thinking at such a young age was terrifying; she could only be a friend, never an enemy.

Only the first period was wasted, so the math professor came in during the second period with his textbook tucked under his arm.

Zhang Hongmei really liked the old man; he was quite humorous in class and made advanced mathematics very interesting.

I finally saw Liu Jingze in the cafeteria at noon. "Jingze, why didn't you go back?"

"Something came up and I didn't have time to tell you."

"Oh, that's good."

"Hongmei, shall we talk after dinner?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Today, Zheng Meinu finally showed up, still following behind Liu Jingze.

What are Zhang Hongmei's thoughts as a representative of the new students?

"What can I possibly think? I don't have any thoughts."

"Hehe, you have a great attitude. Zhang Hongmei, are you running for vice president of the student union?"

"join."

"Alright, I'll campaign for you. Even though I'm just a student council clerk, I'm very popular."

"Thank you so much, Liu."

Liu Jingze brought back the lunchboxes; today's meal consisted of stir-fried shredded radish and steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat, water, and salt. There were three buns for each person, but Zhang Hongmei gave one to Liu Jingzhang and one to Xiao Lin. Half of the vegetables were given to Liu Jingzhang.

The shredded radish tastes pretty good; it has dried shrimp in it.

Zhang Hongmei wanted to go to the seaside even more, and she would definitely stop at the seaside for a few days on her way home.

It's almost mid-March, and we can go to the beach in three and a half months.

I ate slowly today because I had to wait for Liu Jingze.

After finishing their meal, the two left together. "Brother Jingze, I need to talk to you," Zheng Meinu's voice was a little shrill.

"Wenhui, I've made myself very clear. Also, Hongmei and I have important matters to discuss."

Zhang Hongmei ignored their bickering and walked outside.

A moment later, Liu Jingze caught up with him. "Let's go to the playground; it'll be a convenient place to talk."

"OK."

"Hongmei, you noticed too, didn't you?"

"Hmm, is it directed at me personally or at a specific person?"

"Both are true; Kong Mingde is not having an easy time right now."

"And maybe they don't want me to run for student council vice president?"

"Yes, but they have no real strength; they only resort to despicable and unorthodox methods."

"Hehe, someone once said that a cat is a good cat as long as it catches mice, regardless of whether it's black or white. Brother Jingze, don't be careless."

"Okay, I can register for the student council tomorrow. I need to prepare a personal statement and a letter of recommendation from a professor."

"These are all fine."

"Shall we go find Professor Kong?" Liu Jingze asked.

"Professor Kong should be there at this time. He has a class in the afternoon. I'll go to his office to find him."

"Don't you need me to come with you?"

"No need, you should go back and rest."

Liu Jingze didn't insist, and the two parted ways.

Zheng Wenhui came out from behind, feeling a little better. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she couldn't see anything wrong between them. Zheng Wenhui thought that her grandmother was overthinking it.

Zhang Hongmei found Kong Mingde's office, where he was drinking tea. He smiled when he saw Zhang Hongmei come in.

He pulled a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Zhang Hongmei, saying, "Here you go."

"Professor, can you predict the future?"

"How could that be? I wrote it down in advance and was waiting for you to come and pick it up."

"Do you know how to write a personal profile? Or should I write one for you?"

"I can write it. I can have it ready by tomorrow."

"Okay, I hope you get elected."

"Why? It's not just about being good for the future, is it?"

"Of course that's how it is. You're too young to be thinking about things. And don't worry about that person. Keeping her around will save you trouble."

"Okay, I understand. From now on, I don't have to listen to her. I bet the beauty will be furious."

"You naughty boy, I'm going out to eat this week too."

"Sure, if you don't know him, I'll have Xiao Shun pick you up."

"Okay, let's go back."

Zhang Hongmei retrieved the letter of recommendation and carefully put it into her schoolbag, though she actually threw it into her storage space.

After school in the afternoon, I cooked a bowl of noodles and ate noodles with soybean paste.

Zhang Hongmei is like that; she finds cooking tiring when there are many people, and she's too lazy to cook when she's alone.

I'll write my profile first, then I'll register tomorrow.

I took a shower and went to bed. After waking up, I read for two more hours before leaving the space.

The next morning, after finishing the first period, Zhang Hongmei went to the student union office and saw Liu Jingzhang. The two smiled at each other, and Zhang Hongmei handed over her documents.

"Liu, please check if my application is up to standard."

Liu Jingzhang glanced at it and said, "No problem, just wait for our notification."

Zhang Hongmei really wanted to ask if there was no vote-soliciting segment, but since Liu Jingzhang hadn't told her, it meant it wasn't necessary.

When Zhang Hongmei returned to the classroom, Wei Huaqiang asked in a low voice, "How did it go?"

"No problem. Let me wait patiently."

"After the registration period ends, the student council will post the names and brief introductions of the candidates. At that time, all students will have to vote, but the student council staff will handle the process."

Ten people are selected, and then two vice presidents are elected through a vote by the student council members. The rest will be staff members.

"I think that's pretty much the process. I heard that any other classes in our department are running for election?"

"Yes, there is one per class, all of them are class monitors. Our economics department has 22 candidates, and the political science department is the same. Originally, the political science department was supposed to have second-year students running for chairman this year, but I don't know why the second-year students withdrew."

Zhang Hongmei had heard Liu Jingze mention it, but this was something she couldn't tell anyone.

At noon, it was the same as before. Zheng Meinu followed behind Liu Jingze, and Zhang Hongmei and the other three were used to it.

Having submitted the documents, Zhang Hongmei put the matter aside.

Liu Jingzhang gave her a thumbs up and said, "Zhang Hongmei, you have such a great attitude. Were you even nervous?"

"Does being nervous help? I should just accept things as they are."

"I admire you. Last year, when we ran for election, we couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. We were not as good as a young girl like you."

"You're nothing like them," Xiao Lin retorted to Liu Jingzhang.

"Hehe, actually, thinking about it, it makes sense."

"Zhang, did you also participate in the student council election? I did too, but I don't know how to write a profile. Jingze helped me write it."

Zhang Hongmei wanted to say, "Why don't you come here to show off your skills?"

"Hehe, then best of luck to you, Zheng."

The other three didn't speak to Zheng Wenhui at all. After all, when male students talk to female students, it's considered flirting. Zhang Hongmei was different. First, she was younger. Second, she didn't have the typical girlish affectation, so they got along well.
