On the first day of school, Su Yu arrived at the classroom early.
Jiangdong University's Chinese Department has several majors, and Su Yu was assigned to the Chinese Linguistics major. There weren't many students in her class, only about thirty. Her roommates were Liu Min, Li Pingping, and Xu Lili. Everyone else was assigned to other majors within the Chinese Department.
Because Su Yu had previously hosted the orientation activities, many people in the class had seen her before. They were quite surprised to see her. They had assumed she was an upperclassman, but it turned out she was also a freshman.
Everyone is somewhat curious about students who can direct older students' work as soon as they enter the school, and they feel that this person is a bit mysterious.
Liu Min sat next to Su Yu. Facing the gazes of the crowd, she felt a secret delight, sensing she was getting a little bit of benefit from their attention.
After a while, the counselor arrived.
The counselor's surname is Jiang. She is a female teacher in her thirties, with a somewhat serious appearance and wearing glasses. She speaks in a very formal and methodical manner.
Since it was the first class, the counselor first explained the school's regulations to everyone, and then introduced themselves to each other. Near the end of the first class, they began to select temporary class officers.
Although we are not familiar with each other yet, there will be a lot of things to do in the class after the new semester starts, and the class leaders will need to cooperate on many things.
Since they were temporary class officers and didn't know each other well, there was no need for a vote; Teacher Jiang directly selected them.
Su Yu's outstanding performance in the orientation work was now paying off. Even the counselors who had never met her before remembered this student in their class.
Moreover, because this time the school changed its orientation process, the school leaders praised it, so the counselor was very impressed.
With such a talented person in the class, everyone else naturally becomes invisible.
"Su Yu, as you all probably know, you helped out during the school's orientation activities and received a lot of praise from the teachers. For now, we'll have Su Yu as our class monitor. Su Yu, please stand up and let everyone see you."
Su Yu stood up confidently. "Hello everyone, my name is Su Yu. Feel free to ask me for help if you need anything in the future." Whether she could actually help or not was another matter.
Xu Lili raised her hand and stood up. "Teacher, this is not fair. No one else got to run for office."
Ms. Jiang was very unhappy that she was humiliated by the student. Although the counselor does not have the same authority as the professor, she is still a university teacher!
Teacher Jiang said seriously, "If you think you are better than Su Yu, you can ask everyone to vote."
Everyone else looked at Xu Lili, completely bewildered.
Who is this person?
I don't know him.
Liu Min secretly covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Xu Lili's expression.
Ms. Jiang pursed her lips and said, "Alright, student, since no one else has chosen you, this will be the decision for now. I won't appoint any other class officers for now. We'll make the official selections after everyone gets to know each other better. Students who are interested, please show your enthusiasm. Su Yu, you'll have to work a little harder these days."
Su Yu, who holds multiple positions, immediately said, "I am very happy to be able to serve my fellow students."
Xu Lili sat down, thinking to herself, "Of course I'm happy to be a class monitor."
At this point, the class monitor still wielded considerable power, essentially acting as a de facto counselor. After all, a counselor was responsible for several classes, and the only way to understand the students' situations was through the class monitor.
After the counselor hurriedly went to another class, Su Yu began to perform her duties as class monitor.
Having seen all sorts of big occasions, this kind of situation involving class officers was a piece of cake for Su Yu. She calmly walked to the podium and raised her hand to steady herself.
To the uninformed, this person seems even more imposing than a counselor.
Su Yu said, “Dear students, in this moment, I am reminded of a poem written by Chairman Mao: ‘We were all young students then, full of vigor and vitality; our scholarly spirit was high, and we were full of ambition.’ You are now university students, just as the poem describes, full of youthful vigor and high spirits. Now you are students, but in the future you will be pillars of the nation. It is fate that we are together. I hope that in addition to your studies, you will cherish this friendship. Chairman Mao always cherished the friendships he had with his classmates. We should learn from Chairman Mao. Cherish time and cherish friendship.”
Hearing Su Yu even invoke the great Chairman Mao, everyone couldn't help but look around, wondering what kind of image their classmates and young people presented. Who knows, maybe one of them will really become a great figure someday.
Su Yu smiled and said, "So I suggest we start with self-introductions. I'll start. Hello everyone, my name is Su Yu..."
After Su Yu finished introducing herself, many people spontaneously joined in.
Seeing this, Su Yu couldn't help but feel moved by the positive and simple nature of students in this era.
Look how excited and thrilled these people are when they introduce themselves.
As these people sat down, Su Yu quickly jotted them down in her notebook. Having worked as a secretary for so long, her shorthand skills were exceptionally advanced.
After everyone had finished, her notebook was almost full of notes.
Liu Min asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"As a class leader, I need to get to know everyone, otherwise I'd feel so embarrassed," Su Yu said with a smile.
This is very important information. Out of thirty students, there will always be a few who will become successful in the future.
College students these days have a promising future.
