After Su Yu and Secretary Yang discussed it, the school's Youth League Committee quickly coordinated with the Student Union.
The ideological study work, previously led by the student union, has been handed over to the school's Youth League Committee. However, since the Youth League Committee has a small number of members, the strong cooperation of the student union is still needed.
In order not to affect the students' studies, Su Yu arranged a schedule for everyone, mainly focusing on the ideological study group. Each group assigned one member, and then other groups assigned one student each if they had free time, so that they could work together.
As Su Yu's secretary, Xu Lili had to go to the ideological study class every other day to help out. She would also record the learning progress and then give a summary report.
Su Yu had just assigned her some work when she became somewhat dissatisfied. Every day was already tiring enough, and now she also had to help out in class and listen to those ideological documents. She had no freedom at all. She'd only been there once, and she was already restless, thinking that she'd have to come here every other day to help out, and she felt like she was being taken advantage of.
Back in her dorm that night, she started complaining, "I don't want to do this job anymore. I'm not going anymore. Everyone else goes once a week, but I have to go three times. It's exhausting."
Su Yu was reading a book when she heard this and said, "You're already unhappy after just one day? Xu Lili, you are the secretary to the student council president, your responsibilities are greater than others."
"That's so unfair!"
"Rights and responsibilities are equal. If you feel you can't do it, you don't have to."
“…Anyway, I don’t want to go,” Xu Lili said firmly.
Seeing her expression, Su Yu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll send someone else." She looked around at everyone in the dormitory, lingering on Li Ping's face for a second longer.
Li Ping raised her hand and said, "I'll go."
"Okay, then Li Ping will be in charge of summarizing the lecture content from now on."
"Okay," Li Ping agreed without hesitation. She believed that Sister Su Yu's work arrangement was definitely correct.
After school the second day, Li Ping went to class. And not just every other day, but every single day. When she returned, she would neatly hand in her summary to Su Yu. To do her job well, she didn't even go home on weekends.
Su Yu didn't go back either. Secretary Song was going to the county below to discuss matters with Secretary Yan this week, so she wasn't available either. Since Su Yu was busy anyway, she decided to stay at the school and work.
After all, she needs to make a good impression to get into the Youth League Committee.
On Sunday afternoon, the two went to the classroom for ideological study together. On the way back, Su Yu asked, "Li Ping, how's work going? Are you tired?"
"It's alright, since it's all studying and I don't have to do any hard labor, I can manage."
"Okay, starting next week, I will gradually hand over the tasks that Xu Lili is handling to you, including her odd jobs. Can you accept that?"
Li Ping looked at her in surprise. "Sister Su Yu, what are you going to do..."
“You’re right, I’m planning to have you take over Xu Lili’s work. In fact, given the tasks a secretary assigns Xu Lili, it’s clear she’s not up to the task, even for a simple job. I’ll be very busy from now on, and I need a capable secretary to help me. Do you have any ideas? If you don’t want to be a secretary, that’s fine too.”
"I want to do it," Li Ping said honestly. Although she didn't know the benefits of being a secretary, she felt that what Sister Su Yu asked her to do must be right and helpful to her.
Seeing her reaction, Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I don't have any other thoughts. I just think you're a reliable person. You're meticulous in your work, which is a quality of a secretary. But I'll be honest with you, being a secretary is tiring. Xu Lili serves me tea and water, and you have to do the same."
Li Ping nodded, "I'm willing to do it."
Seeing Li Ping's honest and trusting demeanor, Su Yu grew increasingly fond of her. She felt that even without a prominent family background, Li Ping was a promising talent worth nurturing. In the entire dormitory, she was the most focused, academically excellent, and truly single-minded. While Liu Min and the others discussed new clothes, Li Ping was always reading or doing homework.
"Being a secretary is actually a skill. If you want to go far in the future, being a secretary can give you a lot of training. For example, serving tea and water is also a skill. Whether the tea you serve suits your taste depends on your careful observation and whether you are arrogant. Assigning you a lot of miscellaneous tasks is to test your ability to simplify complex tasks. Don't worry about doing a lot when you are young. If you do more now, you can do less later and let others do it for you."
Li Ping listened attentively, taking each word as a profound truth about life.
No one had ever taught her these things before, but they sounded right to her. She believed that these words would be of great help to her when she graduated.
"Sister Su Yu, I'm willing to be your secretary and do a lot of work. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I trust you."
Su Yu smiled and said, "If I told you that all I've done is to hope that you'll work hard without complaint, would you believe me?"
Li Ping: "..." She knew that Su Yu's way of doing things might actually be like that, but... "I believe it, but I think it makes a lot of sense. So I still think we should do it."
…………
In Baotian County, under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong City, Secretary Song was strolling around the county town with former Secretary Yan, now County Party Secretary Yan.
Now that Secretary Yan has become a real cadre, he exudes a certain air of sophistication. However, that's only in front of others. In front of Secretary Song, he still smokes and smiles at him.
