The boy, who had been interrupted, looked at Jiang Xu in surprise and said, "Hello, my statement is not over yet."
Jiang Xu said, “Your restatement is indeed not over yet, after all, it’s long and tedious.” He emphasized the word ‘restatement’ and then paused before continuing, “Of course, I have no ill will toward the previous students’ statements, but self-evaluation is not copying. Do you think this is an open-book exam?”
The boy retorted, "What makes you say that?"
Jiang Xu said, “You don’t have your own thoughts when choosing things. You don’t know how to exclude similar items, such as 2 and 7, 3 and 5. You didn’t choose 10 and 14 for things that are urgently needed for survival, and you didn’t choose 5 and 7 for things that will help you survive in the long run. When choosing items that may help you survive, you abandoned 1. What do you think?”
The boy, holding the question paper, looked at the numbers Jiang Xu had announced. "What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly mentioned these things, I just..."
Jiang Xu clapped his hands again to interrupt the boy's debate, "Alright, my self-presentation is over. Next student, please decide whether to continue speaking or let this student continue." After he finished speaking, he gave the students behind him a smile and sat down on his own, ignoring the boy who was still standing.
Just then, another three minutes passed, and it was time for the next person to speak.
"No, I..." The boy suddenly became flustered, and his flustered state reached its peak when the next girl stood up and said, "It's my turn to speak next."
He looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the student council members in charge of them. His eyes were pleading, but the two student council members just glanced at him and continued to write down what they were doing.
"That's really something. Selfish without being arrogant, giving face but not really giving it, it's quite satisfying to watch."
"Yeah, I happened to swap with someone, so it's a bit of fun this morning."
“Look at Hu Bai’s expression, she’s as proud as a child, her face is radiant.”
The subsequent speeches by the members returned to harmony, and the 10 people finished within exactly half an hour.
"Each group has basically completed its work within the allotted time. Next is the free discussion time within each group. Please make good use of the time and select a representative from each group to give a report after the free discussion. The report should be kept to around 5 minutes."
In the subsequent group discussion, Jiang Xu expressed himself clearly and remained calm. Considering his previous indirect help to the others, Jiang Xu became the representative after the entire discussion.
The speeches after the representatives were selected were conducted in turn. Jiang Xu was in the first group, and he was the first person to speak on the podium.
Jiang Xu was very familiar with public speaking. The first person to speak had both advantages and disadvantages, but for Jiang Xu, the advantages always outweighed the disadvantages.
He is a gem, and whatever comes after him, he will never yield an inch.
The second round of interviews in the morning ended just like that, and the results were posted in the group within half an hour of it ending. Jiang Xu's name was at the top of the list of those who passed.
The final interview is more about job matching. The second interview basically determines the members who will join the student union, and the final position depends on the expression of self-will.
The student union is a school-level organization, and the final appointment of positions is mainly carried out through popular election, which is simply a method of voting by the public.
Jiang Xu took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Li.
Jiang Xu: Do you have time this afternoon?
Gu Li replied quickly: Address.
Jiang Xu: 3 p.m., side building auditorium.
He sent the message, but Gu Li didn't reply. Even as the crowd slowly poured into the auditorium and the clock ticked toward three o'clock, she still hadn't answered.
There were many students sitting in the auditorium, and several teachers in the front row. Student council members in formal attire were maintaining order.
Jiang Xu stood on one side of the platform, surrounded by other classmates who were quietly reciting their speeches, while his gaze slowly drifted down to the audience.
He scanned the room one by one, thinking to himself how good his eyesight was, as he could see the last row of the auditorium but still couldn't spot the red-haired guy.
At 15:05, the first student stepped onto the platform, and his clear voice came through the microphone, expressing his aspirations, ideals, and sense of responsibility.
Jiang Xu was next. He was originally supposed to speak first, but after asking around, he was willing to change the order of speaking.
After the boy on stage finished speaking, Jiang Xu glanced at the audience one last time. Good grief, Gu Li had stood him up again.
That's true. The other party only asked for an address and didn't say whether they would come or not. Jiang Xu went on stage with a smile, straightened the microphone, and said, "I'm Jiang Xu." He was somewhat too lazy to say it.
He looked down at the audience. At that moment, a sliver of light appeared at the very back. The back door of the auditorium was located behind and below the last row of seats. It was conveniently located in the center. If someone opened the back door, the person standing on the podium could easily see it if they paid a little attention.
Then, as Jiang Xu saw the light disappear, a hand was raised behind the center chair in the last row. First, the five fingers were spread apart and waved, and finally, the four fingers were quickly folded together to give a thumbs up.
With just one gesture, Jiang Xu knew.
Gu Li has arrived.
Jiang Xu wondered how he knew he could see it, but then he realized he really could.
The pause lasted only a few seconds before Jiang Xu spoke again, "I only have one sentence to say." It was a sentence he had prepared long ago.
He said, "I'm here to be the student council president."
A voice as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying ambition, has spread like wildfire.
As Jiang Xu finished speaking, Gu Li came up the stairs from below. Her dazzling red hair contrasted sharply with the dark black curtains of the auditorium, making her appear even more intense and flamboyant.
Gu Li smiled from afar. He didn't know if Jiang Xu could see him clearly, but he could clearly see Jiang Xu on the high platform.
The young man was dressed in the uniform, wearing a white shirt and a black tie, with his hair swept back. Under the lights, Gu Li could only think of those four words.
Rich and vibrant colors.
He thought to himself, "Luckily I made it in time, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss."
Then Gu Li thought about what he had just heard. He thought Jiang Xu was really arrogant, but his arrogance was just right. He could blow a hole in the sweltering summer sky and let the fresh wind take over the absolute high ground.
"Wow!" The excited boy blurted out, his loud voice booming in the center of the auditorium, jolting the crowd awake.
Laughter and murmurs filled the auditorium, tearing apart the orderly atmosphere and making it difficult to restore the original quiet for a while.
The people elect the people, which is the will of the people. Although Jiang Xu's words received some support, it is clear that his ambition still needs time to be tempered.
But he also secured the position of Minister of Discipline, a vacancy no one was more suitable for than him, and his intimidating face and personality garnered considerable support from both male and female students.
Gu Li sat in the last row. After the crowd gradually dispersed, he stood up and walked towards Jiang Xu. His gaze was focused and his steps were straight. When he stood in front of Jiang Xu, he said, "Would you like me to help you have a great celebration?"
He smiled broadly, his voice full of seductive charm.
