Su Yu had put a lot of thought into running for student council president. As for Xu Lili's confident demeanor, Su Yu had already guessed it. She figured Xu Lili was planning to use her family connections to become student council president.
However, Su Yu felt that Xu Lili had oversimplified the matter.
According to Zhu Yu, the student council president is elected by everyone through a vote. Even the teachers in charge of the student council wouldn't cheat in front of so many people.
At most, I only helped Xu Lili write her speeches.
However, Su Yu felt it was best to be cautious about this. So when the student council held another meeting, Su Yu suggested that this time they make the student council president election a bigger event.
"Fellow students, how can the students of Jiangdong University not recognize the student council president? I suggest we make a big fuss about it. Let other students get to know our student council more directly and serve as an inspiration."
This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone, including Xu Lili. They were all young people; who wouldn't want to stand out?
Zhu Yu asked, "So, how should we arrange it?"
“If you’re comfortable with this, then leave it to me. I have an extra team here, and I’m sure everyone will be willing to help. They can also help spread the word in their respective departments, so that more students will know about it and more people will come to watch. I suggest we hold it in the school auditorium.”
Hearing that Su Yu had taken on all the responsibilities, everyone smiled easily and said, "Okay, we'll listen to Su Yu."
After the meeting, Su Yu went to inform her group of people.
With so much time since school started and nothing much to do, everyone in the group thought they'd been forgotten. Suddenly hearing the news that they'd be getting work done, they all perked up.
Su Yu held a meeting with them and assigned them tasks.
"Everyone, work hard, and I'll try to get opportunities for you. In the future, everyone will have a chance to join the student council."
"With so many of us, is that even possible?"
Su Yu encouraged everyone, "Have confidence in yourselves! Opportunities are for those who are prepared."
Seeing everyone's slightly excited faces, she added, "Of course, we can't neglect our studies. Studies are the foundation; everything else is just icing on the cake."
Under Su Yu's arrangement, the student council's veteran members went directly to the school to borrow the auditorium to prepare for the election campaign.
Upon hearing that they were going to make a big fuss, Teacher Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you think of creating such a grand spectacle?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Firstly, it reflects the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency, and secondly, it allows other students to better understand our organization."
Hearing the words "fair, just, and transparent," Ms. Jin felt a little guilty. However, since the students were so enthusiastic, she couldn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Then let's do it your way."
This way, she could easily explain herself. She hadn't wanted to listen to that student's parent's line in the first place; getting into the student council was already unfair to the others. And to be expected to remain student council president was something she felt she couldn't do without. Now, with such a big commotion, she could simply refuse.
Soon, the news spread that members of the Jiangdong University Student Union would be running for student union president in the school auditorium.
Furthermore, some students were invited to the site to supervise the election process.
This was unprecedented. Previously, student council president elections were always held internally, followed by a simple public announcement. Many students might spend years at school without ever having any contact with the organization. This time, holding the election so openly has piqued the curiosity of many students. Many have decided to go to the auditorium to watch the election.
Su Yu's roommates all submitted their applications to join the student council. Although they didn't know if they would become members, seeing that Su Yu had gone straight to run for student council president, they were all very motivated and decided to go with her to see what was happening and learn from her experience.
Wang Xiaoli and Gao Xin asked, "Sister Su Yu, if you become the student council president, can we use connections to get in?"
Since they came out so openly, everyone knew it was a joke.
Su Yu said with a smile, "If you have the ability, we'll openly and honestly give you a back door, Principal."
Liu Min and the others burst into laughter.
Xu Lili sat at the table, watching them, and curled her lip. "Using connections? What makes you think you can pull that off? Whether you'll even get the position is uncertain."
Anyway, her mom will help her. As long as she works hard and tries to get more awards at school, she'll definitely have a bright future.
She is different from all these people.
At the table next to her, Li Ping, who had been silently reading, looked up at Su Yu with a hint of envy in her eyes.
...
The student council president election was scheduled for Friday evening.
After finishing their meal, many students headed towards the auditorium.
Su Yu, already dressed and ready, followed the other student council members inside. Although they were competitors, they were quite amicable with each other. After all, this competition relied on individual abilities; everyone competed based on their skills, and no one treated their rivals as enemies.
Because they had worked together on the orientation for new students before, and Su Yu had been very active ever since, no one found it strange that Su Yu, a new member, was also running for office.
They even subconsciously felt that this was a normal thing.
In their minds, they were already very familiar with Su Yu. Although she had just joined, what she did was impressive, and there was no sense of distance between them. Moreover, she seemed to have a special quality that always made people feel familiar when they were around her.
