When Su Yu arrived at the dormitory, everyone was looking at the watch on Li Ping's wrist.
Upon seeing Su Yu return, everyone quickly told her about Li Ping buying a watch. It was also a Plum Blossom brand.
“Your dad treats you very well,” Su Yu said with a smile.
Liu Min said, "This is wonderful! My dad has never bought me one. It's so expensive, they wouldn't be willing to spend the money."
Xu Lili said, "What's so great about it? Plum Blossom isn't that good either. I'll ask my dad to buy me a first-class watch next week, at least an IWC."
Su Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the watch is expensive or not, as long as it suits me. We're still students, so we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. The Plum Blossom watch is just fine."
Everyone else nodded. For them, the world was too far away; the plum blossoms were dazzling enough.
Wang Xiaoli asked curiously, "Li Ping, why did your dad buy you a watch?" She had heard about Li Ping's situation at home before. This change was too drastic.
Li Ping said, "It might be because of my performance yesterday, which he thought was good. Also, I wrote an article that was published in the newspaper before."
"I want to write an article too!" Gao Lan exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Dandan said, "Let's all write them down, and try to buy a watch as soon as possible." Her family were cadres in a prefecture-level city, and their financial situation was quite good, but they wouldn't buy a watch for no reason. Now it seems that opportunities are created by oneself. Li Ping, who is usually quiet, was the first to buy one.
Xu Lili scoffed, "It's just a watch, isn't it?"
Su Yu sat in the chair and said seriously, "Xu Lili, don't worry about other people's watches now. Given your previous unauthorized leave, the student council has unanimously decided that you should write a letter of self-criticism."
"What?" Xu Lili was taken aback. "Why should I?"
"There's no reason why, it's just the rule. As a member of the student council, you should know that the student council doesn't allow people to ask for leave without going through the proper channels. You went directly to Teacher Jin, which made everyone think that the student council has no rules. As your supervisor, I've already written a self-criticism, so you should write one as soon as possible."
"I won't write," Xu Lili said firmly. She had already asked for leave.
Su Yu said, "Yes, the student council can expel those who repeatedly fail to correct their behavior. We were on good terms back then."
"..."
Under Su Yu's intimidation, Xu Lili reluctantly wrote a letter of self-criticism. She then posted the letter on the student union's office bulletin board for other student union members to see, hoping they would learn from her example.
After school, Xu Lili went to Su Yu, looking aggrieved, and said, "This secretary job is tough. I have to do everything, and I'm restricted. I have no power at all."
Why can the group leaders of other groups be replaced, but she, as the chairman's secretary, can't order people around? Moreover, Su Yu, as the chairman, has a bunch of people listening to her, but when she does something, no one even responds.
While looking at the materials for the Chinese Department, Su Yu said, "With great power comes great responsibility. If you can't even take responsibility for holding a proper meeting, how much power do you expect? Why is this job so difficult? As long as you work within our established rules, everything will be easy. If you overstep your boundaries, things will definitely get difficult. You might even lose your cadre status in the future."
“You promised my mom you’d take care of me,” Xu Lili said.
“If I hadn’t taken care of you, you wouldn’t even be able to do the secretary job. Besides, I need to stay in this circle to take care of you. Otherwise, I would lose my position too.” Su Yu looked at her and said, “Actually, you can make a choice.”
What's the choice?
"If you don't become the secretary, you won't have to do anything, and you won't have to attend meetings. No one in our student union can control you, and the student union will help you whenever you need it. Isn't that great?"
"..." Xu Lili's heart wavered a little.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course, you can think it over yourself. I still hope you can cheer up. After all, I think having a secretary to do my job is really good. It has relieved a lot of my work pressure. Okay, I'm going to find Teacher Jin now, you can go back to your dormitory."
After that, Su Yu left.
She felt there was no need to say much to people who were not very intelligent and clearly did not want to work hard.
Teacher Jin called Su Yu over to present her with an award certificate. The National Day activities were very well done, and the school leaders were very satisfied, so they suggested giving her a reward.
A certificate of merit for outstanding student organization.
"Su Yu, the student union is developing very well under your leadership. The school leaders have also praised it highly. I heard from the higher-ups today that they seem to have softened their stance and agreed to recognize some student union organizations, such as the newly added positions in the current student union. As for others, the school will continue to observe."
Upon hearing this news, Su Yu was overjoyed. "Teacher Jin, is this matter settled?"
"Of course it's confirmed. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here with you. The official documents will be available in a few days."
Su Yu said gratefully, "Teacher Jin, we really owe you a lot this time. It must have been you who put in a good word for us."
Teacher Jin said guiltily, "That's really not it. It's because you guys are capable and made the leaders happy. I heard that even a high-ranking leader from the military region came?"
Su Yu nodded.
Teacher Jin asked in surprise, "How did you manage to get in touch?"
"Teacher Jin, this is not good. The leaders don't want us to travel around."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask," Teacher Jin quickly waved her hand. She felt that anything related to the military would likely be classified as a military secret. Asking about military secrets was no small matter.
Su Yu smiled and said, "If they allow it in the future, I'll definitely tell Teacher Jin first. By the way, Teacher, is our school going to select student leaders?"
