Representative of the new students?
To be honest, this title was very distant for Chen Bing. In his previous life, apart from fantasizing about it in anime and movies, he had only ever gazed at and envied that "freshman representative" from afar on the playground under the blazing sun.
And now, I never imagined that one day I would become such a thing.
"Okay, I'll follow the teacher's instructions."
Fang Anmin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, looking at the handsome young man in front of him with a heart full of gratification.
"There's one more thing. Do you two want to be class committee members? Class monitor, academic representative, and sports representative are all decent positions. Our school doesn't have a student council, otherwise we would definitely recommend you two for those."
From a very early stage, Chen Bing's attitude towards class officers was one of rejection. Anyone who has been to school knows that class officers are completely useless in elementary and middle school.
Especially the position of class monitor—it's time-consuming, laborious, and thankless. Aside from a few people who are genuinely interested, anyone would get bored after a month or two. Therefore, Chen Bing directly rejected Fang Anmin's proposal on behalf of Shang Yunmiao.
After being rejected, Fang Anmin didn't react much. He knew that while class officers in junior high were supposed to develop students' abilities, in China's exam-oriented education system, they were practically useless.
So he nodded and continued, "It's fine if you don't take the position. Studying hard and getting good grades is better than anything else." As Fang Anmin said this, he silently deleted Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao from his list of candidates for class committee.
"Okay, then that's all. You two go back to the classroom to study, and while you're at it, call Zhang Xinyu, Ma Lele, and Wen Xin... Oh, right, there's one more thing I wanted to ask you two."
At this point, Fang Anmin revealed a slightly gossipy expression.
"What's the relationship between you two? I saw that Teacher Yun picks you two up and drops you off at school together. I just received a message from her saying she's going to make you her class representative, Chen Bing."
Oh dear, Aunt Xuan, really. If you wanted me to be the class representative, you could have just told me directly. Why did you have to go through the homeroom teacher?
After feeling smug for a moment, Chen Bing briefly explained the relationship between the two families.
After listening, Fang Anmin nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, you guys go back to the classroom. Don't forget to call those three people over."
After Chen Bing and the other person left, Fang Anmin smiled faintly, then immediately straightened his face, pulled out a piece of paper and started working.
During the remaining evening self-study sessions, he determined his preferred candidates for class committee by calling students away one by one.
Class Monitor: Zhang Xinyu
Class monitor: Wen Xin
Discipline Committee Member: Song Ze
Sports Committee Member: Ma Shaolong
In addition, there were two hosts needed for the military training commendation ceremony. He directly appointed Zhang Xinyu and Ma Shaolong to be the hosts, a pleasant surprise that made Ma Shaolong so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Besides being able to eat with Zhang Xinyu, he also felt that the homeroom teacher had high hopes for him, and that the position of class monitor was definitely just around the corner.
After all, he had been a class monitor in elementary school and had experience in this area. Furthermore, Zhang Xinyu was among the top students, and he felt that Fang Anmin was unlikely to let her go through the trouble of sacrificing her study time to handle miscellaneous class matters. Besides, she was a girl, and in terms of the role, she would definitely be inferior to him as a boy.
When he came out of the office, it was just after the first evening self-study session. At the classroom door, he saw Chen Bing again, who was being blown around by the wind.
Yes, I can't be too happy yet. Although Zhang Xinyu is unlikely to compete with me, there is still a formidable rival, Chen Bing.
After taking a deep breath, Ma Shaolong casually stepped forward to strike up a conversation.
"Hey, Bing-ge, here to enjoy the breeze all by yourself again?"
"Yeah, it's too stuffy in the classroom." After replying indifferently, Chen Bing continued to enjoy the evening breeze.
"By the way, when you went to the office just now, did your homeroom teacher say anything to you?"
"I mentioned it, like the freshman representative at the military training summary meeting."
Representative of the new students!
Ma Shaolong was taken aback. He thought being a host was glamorous enough, but he never expected there would be a new student representative as well.
That makes sense, considering the other student's top score upon entering the university; it's not surprising. However, given this situation, isn't my position as class monitor quite precarious?
"Did he say anything else? Like about class officer elections or something?"
"I said so."
"What did you say?" Ma Shaolong asked quickly, sounding quite excited. In contrast, Chen Bing was much calmer.
"They asked me if I wanted to be a class committee member or something."
"What did you say?"
This statement carried a slightly accusatory tone, and although Chen Bing knew Ma Shaolong didn't mean it that way, he was still somewhat displeased.
After giving him a brief glance, Chen Bing replied, "I said I'm not interested."
Upon hearing this, Ma Shaolong felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chen Bing on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Bing. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just let me know."
"Um."
"Uh... there's one more thing."
Chen Bing was getting impatient. Why did this little brat keep talking on and on?
"What?"
"Isn't there going to be an election for class committee members? I hope you can vote for me then."
oh?
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Chen Bing's lips.
This statement contained a wealth of information. He hadn't heard from Fang Anmin about class officer elections. What Fang Anmin had meant to him and Shang Yunmiao was clearly that they could have whatever they wanted, so how did it become an election with Ma Shaolong?
Chen Bing, who found it quite amusing, immediately lost his temper. He waved his hand and casually agreed.
His appearance delighted Ma Shaolong. What could be more joyful than having your biggest rival willingly help you win the championship?
He immediately patted his chest and promised that once he became class monitor, he would definitely treat Chen Bing well.
Just then, Shang Yunmiao, Ma Lele, and Li Wentong returned from fetching water. After the other two entered the classroom first, Shang Yunmiao came to Chen Bing's side with the cup in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Ma Shaolong said with a beaming smile, "Since my sister-in-law is here, I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, he left triumphantly, leaving Chen Bing speechless and Shang Yunmiao ashamed and indignant.
"What did you just say to him?" Shang Yunmiao's ears turned bright red instantly. She leaned close to Chen Bing and whispered her question to him, forgetting even about keeping her distance from him.
Chen Bing, on the other hand, waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he was also innocent. How could he have imagined that a first-year junior high school student would suddenly say such street-smart things? Had he been reading too many online novels or watching too many teen idol dramas?
