Xu Lili's heart was pounding.
His mouth was open, but he couldn't utter a word.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Can you even do the job? If you can't, I'll replace you. You can just stay idle."
"...I can do it."
Xu Lili gritted her teeth and said with a frustrated expression.
Su Yu patted her shoulder with a smile, "That's right, don't always make Auntie worry. So many people have arranged things for you, if you don't do well and people find fault with you, how can you face those of us who care about you? Don't worry, I rarely make you make your bed, but cleaning and serving tea and water are a must, these are basic office rules. Our dorm is full of student council members, so whether you do any work or not, someone is watching."
"..."
When she got home that evening, Xu Lili started getting hot water for Su Yu.
The people in the dormitory were incredibly surprised to see Xu Lili carrying a thermos out.
Looking at Su Yu, who was looking down at her documents, Liu Min exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Su Yu, how come she suddenly became so nice?"
"I'm busy, and she's my secretary, so she's helping me with the work," Su Yu said, continuing to look at the documents, but her mind was already on the matter of running for the leadership team.
She felt she was already very confident.
Originally, she ran for the position of Youth League cadre to earn a salary and seniority, and also to return home after growing up in Guangming. Now she's not in a hurry anymore, since she has a secretary to share the burden. So she can patiently prepare for the Youth League cadre position.
A little while later, Xu Lili returned with a thermos and placed it on Su Yu's desk. "Su Yu, it's back."
“Xu Lili, from now on, call me Chairman Su. Our relationship is different from others.”
"..."
Seeing Su Yu's serious expression, Xu Lili couldn't tell that she was joking.
How could she know that being a secretary is like this? This isn't a secretary job; it's practically a slave job for someone who's desperate for a job.
She sat back on the bed, feeling frustrated, her lips pressed tightly together. She regretted becoming a secretary, but she was also unwilling to give it up. She couldn't just give up now that she had taken the position.
The other girls in the dorm glanced at her furtively before going about their own business, secretly chuckling to themselves.
It seems that having Xu Lili as the secretary isn't such a bad thing after all.
With this secretary, Su Yu's work became much easier. Not only did she have someone to take care of her in her personal life, but she also had someone to share the workload. Of course, Su Yu wouldn't let Xu Lili handle important matters, but she didn't hesitate to have her run errands like delivering documents and issuing notices.
Xu Lili got busy and didn't have time to tease people in the dormitory anymore.
Back in the dorm that evening, Xu Lili continued reading. Su Yu, seeing her reading a book for leisure, was displeased. "You're a student leader, don't neglect your duties. Since you're not studying, help me write a speech. National Day is coming soon, and our student council is organizing an event."
When Xu Lili heard that she had to write a speech, she immediately refused. "It's not like I'm the one giving the speech, why should I write it? I'm not writing it."
"Writing speeches is a secretary's most basic job skill. If I do everything myself, what's the point of having a secretary? Most importantly, if writing speeches takes so much time, how many important things can I accomplish?"
Xu Lili was not happy. "Anyway, I don't want to write." Actually, she couldn't write; her writing skills were terrible, extremely poor. The reason she was assigned to this major was because her mother found someone to help her, since it was considered good for women to study this major.
Su Yu looked at her with dissatisfaction for a moment, then said to Li Ping next to her, "Li Ping, since Xu Lili doesn't know how, you can write it for me. Keep it concise and clear, and don't make it too long."
"Okay," Li Ping immediately agreed.
The second time they went to the library, Li Ping again went with Su Yu. She recounted her behavior at home to Su Yu, her tone excited, clearly very happy. "Sister Su Yu, thank you for teaching me."
As Su Yu walked, she instructed her, "The most important thing is that you are excellent yourself. No matter how many nice words you say or how clever you are at flattering, it's useless. You must have real skills. For example, yesterday I asked Xu Lili to write a speech for me, but she refused. In fact, no matter how much work she does for me, it's not as important as writing a good speech for me. Other people can do other odd jobs, but only your own abilities are irreplaceable. You are using your excellence to gain your father's approval. One day, you will be so excellent that your father will look up to you. Compared to your siblings who only know how to please others, you will only become more and more excellent than them and go higher and higher."
Li Ping felt as if a door to a new world had been opened for her.
Her wish used to be to gain her family's approval and to receive the same care and love from her parents as they did.
But now, she seems to feel that none of that matters anymore.
She hopes that one day she can become as outstanding as Sister Su Yu.
Saturday is National Day, and with Sunday, it's a two-day holiday. Because two days is too short, many students don't want to go home. Only some people from the city will go back.
Therefore, Su Yu arranged for the student union to plan the National Day activities at Jiangdong University. These included singing patriotic songs, reciting patriotic poems, and even staging a stage play featuring scenes from current anti-Japanese war films. The aim was twofold: to enrich students' recreational activities and to increase the student union's influence within the university.
Su Yu also wrote an invitation, inviting school leaders to attend.
She wants to get promoted, so how can she not know the school leaders?
