Zhang Hongmei hurriedly finished her meal and returned to the classroom, not even noticing that the beautiful Zheng Wenhui hadn't come today.
Liu Jingze laughed as he watched Zhang Hongmei flee in disarray. She's still just a child!
Xiao Lin whispered sarcastically to Liu Jingze, "Jingze, your smile is terrifying; I can even see your back teeth."
Liu Jingze didn't retaliate; he was happy with himself!
At this time, Zhang Shouyi also learned about Zhang Hongmei's achievements and was genuinely happy, thinking that she was indeed the girl he had his eye on.
Xiao Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had done the right thing, and the tense atmosphere could be lifted.
Back in the classroom, the once lively space suddenly fell silent, making Zhang Hongmei feel particularly uncomfortable.
Lu Yue turned around and asked, "Zhang Hongmei, how did you do that?"
"I've been reading all our textbooks."
Do you have a photographic memory?
"No, I just read it carefully." Am I supposed to say I spend ten times more time reading than others? Or should I say I have a master's degree?
Many classmates were listening intently to their conversation, but the outcome seemed both expected and not the whole truth.
Everyone was conflicted, unsure whether they should believe Zhang Hongmei.
But their achievements speak for themselves, and one has no choice but to believe it.
The first class was taught by Professor Kong, whose smiling face was filled with ecstatic joy.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone. This shows that you are all very solid. Although the recommended students' grades are not ideal, you have all been working for a period of time and have been away from school for a long time, so your selection is not the same as that of the current year graduates."
But congratulations anyway, everyone has seen your hard work.
And congratulations to Zhang Hongmei from our class, well done! You made me feel proud in front of professors from other departments.
In this class, we're electing class officers. Our class will have three class leaders, one head and two deputy heads. Since it's the beginning of the semester and everyone is still getting to know each other, I've proposed the candidates. We'll all vote by raising our hands. We're all adults, and our thinking is quite mature. Secret ballots would be a waste of everyone's time. What do you think?
What else can I say? You've already said it, so who would disagree?
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's start with the class monitor. I'll write the candidates on the blackboard, and the counselor will count the number of those who passed and write it down."
Professor Kong wrote down Zhang Hongmei's name first, and everyone knew who the class monitor would be.
Zhang Hongmei was a little conflicted. She was going to be a class monitor? Wasn't that just like being a housekeeper?
Professor Kong wrote down six candidates for class monitor, one of whom was Wei Huaqiang, Zhang Hongmei's deskmate.
There's also Liang Yongmin, the middle-aged man who suggested publishing the book first last time.
There was also Wu Meiling, who was also a recommended student. Zhang Hongmei had some impression of her. This woman was also very proactive and had a very leadership demeanor.
The fifth is Zeng Zhiqiang, who looks very robust and, like Professor Kong, is always smiling.
The sixth recommendation is Hu Yuqin, a recent graduate, a student with a sharp and capable look.
Professor Kong recommended three recent graduates and three recommended students.
"Alright, this is my recommendation after careful consideration. Let's start with the class monitor, and then the second and third will be the vice class monitors. Chen Shuang, you come and take the lead."
Professor Kong moved his chair to the side and gave the podium to the counselor.
"Classmates, let's start with Zhang Hongmei. Those who agree that Zhang Hongmei should be elected as the class monitor, please raise your hands."
Zhang Hongmei definitely abstained, and in the end she got forty-eight votes. Xu Tongtong didn't agree, and this girl wasn't afraid of offending Professor Kong. She was very dissatisfied with Zhang Hongmei being elected class monitor.
"The second candidate is Liang Yongmin. Please raise your hands to vote."
Zhang Hongmei would definitely raise her hand; too many people were paying attention to her, and besides, she really didn't think being class monitor was such a good thing.
Liang Yongmin ultimately received 32 votes.
Wu Meiling received 25 votes.
Zeng Zhiqiang received 28 votes.
Hu Yuqin received 25 votes.
Wei Huaqiang surprisingly received 29 votes.
"So, Zhang Hongmei will be the class monitor. Let's give a round of applause to encourage Zhang Hongmei, the class monitor of Economics Class 1, to speak and express her views."
Zhang Hongmei walked to the podium with a smile and said, "Thank you all for your recognition. I am still young, and there may be things I do that are not up to par. Please bear with me and point them out in time."
But please believe me, now that I've been elected class monitor, I will prioritize everyone's opinions and will not harm the interests of the majority.
I also hope that our Economics Class 1 can unite as one and perform as a team, demonstrating the level of performance expected of our class.
Thank you everyone, and thank you Professor Kong and Counselor Chen.
Zhang Hongmei bowed, and applause broke out below. Professor Kong and the counselor also applauded.
Zhang Hongmei returned to her seat, and Chen Shuang waved her hand, silencing everyone.
"Then the deputy squad leaders are Liang Yongmin and Wei Huaqiang. Let's give them a round of applause."
Liang Yongmin was particularly excited. He delivered a passionate speech on the podium, promising to do his best to assist the class monitor and bring glory to the Economics Class.
Liang Yongmin received enthusiastic applause, and he was no less applause than Zhang Hongmei. It seems that this deputy squad leader is usually very good at dealing with people.
Wei Huaqiang is a sunny young man. His speeches are very passionate and can win the approval of all the recent graduates.
Professor Kong returned to the podium. "Alright, the core members of our Economics Class 1 have been selected. Now, let the professors choose their own representatives. My class representative is Hu Yuqin."
There are also discipline committee members, study committee members, sports committee members, life committee members, and publicity committee members. Raise your hand if you agree that I should directly accept these positions.
Professor Kong is really straightforward and blunt.
"With unanimous approval, I will now proceed with the appointments. Wu Meiling, the life committee member; Zeng Zhiqiang, the discipline committee member; Su Bingchen, the study committee member; Ma Yanqing, the sports committee member; and Wen Xianghua, the publicity committee member. Now, please come to the stage."
Several students went on stage to give brief self-introductions. Some were beaming with joy, while others were more reserved. In any case, they all expressed their gratitude and made assurances. Zhang Hongmei did not see any dissatisfaction from anyone.
Professor Kong took the stage and announced, "There will be an opening ceremony next Monday. There will be no cultural performances as in previous years, and there will also be important announcements."
Okay, I'll stop lecturing in half an hour. Everyone can read the book on your own. If there's anything you don't understand, mark it down, and we'll answer your questions in the next class.
Professor Kong finished speaking and left gracefully. No one complained, or at least no one dared to complain openly.
There's no need for organizational discipline; everyone reads and studies on their own initiative.
Lu Yue turned around, winked at Zhang Hongmei, smiled, and then turned back to read her book.
