Knowing that Secretary Song had long been striving for advancement, Su Yu also felt a sense of urgency. Her starting point was already lower than Comrade Dongzheng's, and now that she wanted to catch up, she would have to put in even more effort.
Of course, she also enjoys the feeling of competition, the constant striving and improvement between lovers.
After finishing classes on Monday, Su Yu held a routine meeting with the student council, and then asked Li Ping for her ideological and learning summary report to give to the Youth League Committee.
Seeing the neat and tidy summary report, Su Yu also assured Li Ping that a general meeting would be held this Friday to announce her formal appointment as the secretary to the student council president.
"Do you think you can handle it? Will it affect your studies?"
Li Ping said, "Sister Su Yu, I can do it. I enjoy doing things."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Okay, do more work now, and you'll be a leader for others later. Then people will do things for you."
"Sister Su Yu, I want to join the army in the future."
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Su Yu asked curiously. She knew that Li Ping had always loved writing articles, and she had always thought that Li Ping was going to work for a newspaper. Besides, Li Ping didn't seem like the kind of person who could be a female soldier.
“I want to be like my dad, someone who has the final say at home and is respected by others outside. I don’t want to suffer mistreatment anymore. Sister Su Yu, thanks to your help, I was able to find my goal so quickly. When I make something of myself in the future, I will help you in return.”
Su Yu: "...Have you thought this through?"
"Yes!" Li Ping nodded with a smile. "You've thought it through very clearly."
Yesterday, looking at the children filling the yard at home, seeing that they all had their own dreams—many wanted to be soldiers and become high-ranking officials, while others wanted to be scientists or high-ranking officials—Li Ping felt that she couldn't be inferior to these children.
She wants to be better than them for the rest of her life, to stand taller than them, so that no one will dare to point a finger at her in the future.
Su Yu looked at her for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's right for me to instill this kind of thinking in you, but at the very least, if you meet someone who is good to you in the future, you should open your heart. After all, there are still many good people in this world."
“I know, just like you, Sister Su Yu,” Li Ping said with a slight smile. She rarely smiled, but when faced with someone who was kind to her, she was willing to treat them with sincerity.
She will remember the person who helped her find her direction in life and escape the quagmire of her unbearable past for the rest of her life.
Seeing how Li Ping treated her like a life mentor, Su Yu coughed guiltily, somewhat speechless.
She never imagined she would raise the child like this. She's not as noble as Li Ping thought. A once introverted girl has now developed into a female warrior; she doesn't know if this is a good thing.
My apologies. I hope Li Ping's future revolutionary comrades won't resent her.
When Su Yu arrived at the Youth League Committee office, she shook off her worries. In any case, Li Ping seemed much more cheerful than before.
It can't get any worse than it used to be.
In the Youth League Committee office, Secretary Yang was busy thinking about the establishment of the campus radio station. When he saw Su Yu arrive, he immediately stood up and said, "Su Yu, come quick, I was just looking for you."
The other two teachers from the school's Youth League Committee were watching him.
Secretary Yang pretended not to see anything and led Su Yu outside the office. "Hey, Su Yu, Principal Zheng has already spoken with Vice Principal Lin about this matter. I found out about it with great difficulty. But we haven't been notified yet. Does this mean it's not going to happen?"
Su Yu was quite pleased with Secretary Yang's anxious attitude. It was good that he was taking it seriously; the worst thing was if he wasn't.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it. If Principal Zheng doesn't agree, we'll do it ourselves. I've already found the funding sources."
She recounted her trip to the Finance Bureau to Secretary Yang. Hearing this, Secretary Yang finally felt relieved. "Su Yu, your work efficiency is truly impressive."
At this moment, Secretary Yang truly felt that he had to bring such a well-connected, proactive, and quick-witted comrade to the school's Youth League Committee.
"Su Yu, I remember your party membership will be officially recognized soon, right?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled and said, "Yes, I'll be officially hired in November."
"That's just a matter of a few days. Congratulations on joining the Party. Our school's Youth League Committee manages the Youth League organization under the leadership of the Party. Su Yu, do you have any thoughts on this?"
This was, of course, a polite inquiry. Secretary Yang had already guessed what Su Yu was thinking about her behavior of getting close to the Youth League Committee.
This can be considered a kind of invitation.
Su Yu's smile slowly faded, replaced by a serious expression. "Secretary Yang, the school's Youth League Committee is an organization that promotes progress, so of course I'm willing to join."
"Okay, once the radio station is settled, I'll apply to the school to have you join us."
"Secretary Yang, don't worry. Serving the organization is the duty of us progressive young people. Now that this matter has been decided, it will definitely be done."
...
Su Yu had just made that boast when he submitted a budget for the construction of the campus radio station, along with a cost analysis, to Secretary Yang, asking him to find an opportunity to show it to Principal Zheng.
The data is all neatly listed out.
Secretary Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Su Yu, you're from the Chinese department, and you have this kind of ability?" He thought that Chinese department students could only write articles and such.
Su Yu said, "I used to study accounting."
No wonder.
