Su Yu and Secretary Song didn't have to worry about the engagement banquet. Apart from visiting Secretary Hao's house and Director Zhu's house once, they didn't have to do anything else.
However, the two of them were not idle either. One was busy handing over his work and preparing to leave, while the other was busy reviewing his lessons and preparing for the New Year's Eve party.
Following the last National Day celebration, the school's teachers and students are really looking forward to this New Year's Eve party.
Many students boldly signed up this time, showcasing their talents.
Su Yu entrusted Li Ping with full responsibility for this matter and genuinely didn't interfere. She didn't meddle in anything that Li Ping could handle herself. However, when she took Li Ping to the student council to make an appearance and for the student council president to speak, she would use the excuse of being too busy with the Youth League Committee to have Li Ping, her secretary, do it for her.
This is also a preparation for Li Ping's successful election as student council president next year. It's a way to subtly get the other student council members used to Li Ping's leadership.
Once a habit is formed, it becomes an inertia, and when faced with a choice, one will naturally choose the one that is most familiar.
Of course, she had also considered the possibility that Li Ping might not be selected in the end, but she felt that if she still couldn't be selected even after all this support, then it could only mean that Li Ping was not capable enough.
After all, a leader not only needs to be able to get things done, but also needs to have the ability to win people's respect.
Fortunately, because Su Yu shared Principal Zheng's good news about the student council with everyone last week, the student council members were very enthusiastic. They all put in their best effort to cooperate this time. So even though Su Yu didn't participate much, the New Year's Eve party was very well prepared.
This time, Su Yu and the Youth League Committee once again extended invitations to city leaders and surrounding schools, inviting everyone to celebrate New Year's Day at Jiangdong University.
Because it was evening, everyone had time, so quite a few people came. Even the top three city leaders were present.
As a member of the Youth League Committee, the president of the Student Union, and the initiator of this New Year's Eve party, Su Yu accompanied the school leaders to receive people.
The Party Secretary and the Mayor shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with Principal Zheng and his group one by one.
Secretary Qiu smiled and said, "The last National Day celebration was quite a lively event, and Jiangdong University is once again leading the way. Your students have already demonstrated their ability to get things done even before they've left the campus. The school leaders and teachers have really put in a lot of effort."
Principal Zheng smiled gently, "It was all organized by the students themselves, so we didn't have to worry about it. This time, it was organized by Su Yu." He knew that Su Yu was familiar with these people.
He smiled and beckoned Su Yu over.
Su Yu quickly ran over, "Principal, I dare not take credit this time. Everyone did it on their own initiative. I didn't even have a chance to organize anything. If we were to organize anything, Li Ping did the work. She worked harder than me as the secretary."
Principal Zheng smiled and looked at Li Ping, "They are all good students."
When Secretary Qiu heard Li Ping's name, he took a special look, and even Mayor Chen glanced at her. Secretary Qiu smiled and said, "There are so many talented people here. This gives us hope for a strong nation."
Vice Principal Lin interjected with a smile, "Let's quickly take a look at the programs these students have prepared for us. Looking at the program list, there are even more programs than last time."
Everyone moved to sit on the platform.
Su Yu noticed that although the three leaders came together, Secretary Qiu and Mayor Chen were clearly closer, while Vice Mayor Xu kept a distance from them.
It seems that Secretary Qiu has now made his decision and is now on Mayor Chen's side.
Over here, Mayor Chen pulled Secretary Qiu aside and asked, "Is that Li Ping the eldest daughter of the Li family in the military region?"
Although Commander Li is very low-key, his daughter is just too outstanding, and people in the military region are talking about her. Before he knew it, the news had spread to the outside world.
Secretary Qiu nodded slightly, "Yes."
"This Su guy knows quite a few people," Mayor Chen said with a smile. The military and government operate on a policy of non-interference, so there's virtually no interaction between them. They haven't made any connections with that side.
Mayor Chen suddenly had to admit he was really impressed with Lao Qiu; he was able to discover talent even from within factories and other organizations.
This year's program is even more diverse than the National Day program. After all, the National Day program focuses on patriotism, while the New Year's Day program emphasizes celebration. Therefore, the range of performance themes is much wider.
The programs were mostly created by the students themselves. There were poems, prose, songs, dances, operas, and even someone singing Peking Opera. They all had vibrant faces and a positive, energetic spirit. Although the performances were somewhat immature, they deeply moved the leaders.
The students are able to perform and celebrate in this environment, instead of struggling for revolution as they did in the past. This is all because the motherland has stood up and the environment is peaceful.
Even Principal Zheng turned to the side to discuss with Vice Principal Lin, "This year's students are much more energetic than last year's."
...
Early Sunday morning, Su Yu started getting ready at home.
As Liu Mei combed her hair, she yawned.
Last night, after the party ended, we organized everyone to pack up, and it didn't end until very late. Comrade Dongzheng Song didn't get back until very late.
Old Lady Liu was tidying up her clothes and looking in the mirror. "Meizi, how do I look dressed?"
Liu Mei: "...Mom, today is my husband's eldest sister's engagement day." Why are you getting involved?
Old Lady Liu said, "I know it's my sister-in-law's engagement. Isn't this helping to make her look good? We'll be visiting that official's house later, so of course we have to be careful. We can't let my sister-in-law down, right, sister-in-law?"
