Su Yu's resignation as student council president caused a stir throughout the school.
After all, since she took office in the student council, many things in the school have been inseparable from her influence. In the hearts of many students, she is an object of admiration, even the pillar of the student council.
Moreover, she's only a freshman, and she has a long time to serve the student council. Everyone is looking forward to her bringing more changes. However, now this pillar of strength is leaving. Not only the student council members, but also the ordinary students are feeling a sense of loss.
However, on the other hand, many students are also curious about who will take over the position of student council president after Su Yu leaves.
Su Yu hadn't paid attention to these things anymore. From the moment she decided to resign, student council affairs had become largely irrelevant to her. After arranging the student council elections, she applied for off-campus accommodation, and the school provided her with a single room as a lounge. As a student leader on campus, this was her personal perk.
After completing the formalities, Su Yu treated her roommates to a meal, including Xu Lili.
Knowing that Su Yu would no longer be living in the dormitory, everyone felt disappointed. To the entire dormitory, Su Yu was like a guiding light. When they entered university, still confused and unsure of their future direction, Su Yu led them to take action ahead of others, becoming student leaders and giving them opportunities to experience things that other students couldn't.
Su Yu urged everyone to eat, "Don't be upset, everyone. Although I don't live with you anymore, we're still from the same school and the same department. We'll see each other a lot. I can't help it, though. I just had a baby girl, and I have to help her out sometimes. After all, I'm the eldest in my family."
Hearing that Su Yu was going home to take care of her eldest niece made everyone feel even more distressed.
Sister Su Yu is such a capable person, someone who can accomplish great things, yet she still has to go home to help take care of the children!
"You all need to work hard. Don't let the fact that we're not together anymore make you lax. The future is in your own hands. How well you do in the future depends on how hard you work now. We all came from the same dorm, so you must help and love each other, and stand together through thick and thin. You'll only realize how precious this friendship and camaraderie is after you leave school." These are all connections, kids.
Liu Min and the others nodded repeatedly, their eyes red.
Su Yu sighed and urged everyone to continue eating.
After dinner, Su Yu pulled Xu Lili aside and earnestly told her, "I'm leaving now. I won't be able to watch over you anymore. Lili, you have to be strong and don't let me down."
Xu Lili blushed. However, she couldn't help feeling touched. Out of so many people, Su Yu had specifically spoken to her, showing that Su Yu cared about her.
Su Yu said, "To be blunt, don't listen to your mother anymore. What's with all this talk about connections? When they retire, who will you ask for connections from? Stop thinking about relying on connections; you have to rely on yourself to be secure. Besides, relying on connections always seems shady. Even your mother has to find connections behind people's backs. How can that compare to the uprightness of earning a living through your own efforts? I'm genuinely doing this for your own good. In the future, I might not have the chance to take care of you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she shook her head and sighed as she left, not caring what Xu Lili thought.
Since they won't be roommates anymore, she won't really get along with Xu Lili. She'll just try to make some goodwill before leaving, who knows if it'll be useful later.
Soon after, the student union issued a notice that the election ceremony for the student union president would be held in the auditorium.
There were quite a few people running for election this time, all of them group leaders.
As the secretary to the student union president, Li Ping naturally participated in this election.
On Friday night, all the candidates took to the stage to give campaign speeches. Although Su Yu had already resigned as student council president, she also delivered a resignation speech at the beginning of the event.
"Dear teachers, students, and student council members, I am very happy to have had the opportunity to serve you all during the previous semester and to have done my best to help you... Although I can no longer serve in this position, I will still do my best to help you whenever the student council needs me in the future... Opportunity favors the prepared mind. In the past, everyone has seen the performance of the student council members. I hope you can cast a fair vote and elect the most outstanding student council member. Thank you!"
Amidst a round of applause, everyone watched as this legendary figure from the student council exited the stage.
Soon, the student council members began their election campaigns.
Just like in previous student council president elections, everyone's speeches focused on what they would do in the future and how they would contribute to the community.
When it was Li Ping's turn, she walked calmly onto the podium.
Unlike her previous quiet, introverted, and weak self, after half a year of influence and change, she now resembles Su Yu by about 50 or 60 percent. Except for not having Su Yu's ever-present, undisguised confidence, she is much more composed than her peers.
After becoming the secretary to the student council president, she remained active in the student council, sometimes handling matters on behalf of Su Yu, and had already gained considerable popularity.
As soon as she stepped onto the stage, many people looked at her expectantly.
"The changes in the Student Union are evident to all. Facts have proven that Chairwoman Su's vision was correct; she chose a suitable path for our Student Union. As her successor, I will steadfastly continue down the path Chairwoman Su chose for us, leading the Student Union forward steadily. I may not be the best pioneer, but I will certainly be the most determined executor. I believe that under my leadership, the Student Union will remain as strong as it was when Chairwoman Su was still in office. I hope you will give me this opportunity. Thank you."
