245: Became the leader of the propaganda team
Section Chief Cui's gaze first fell on Shao Xia:
"Shao Xia, you will be the dormitory head from now on and be responsible for arranging the duty schedule. Shao Xia has been with me for three years and has been in the propaganda team every year. She is quite familiar with the situation here. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to her."
No one objected to this decision.
Being a dormitory head is not an easy job. There are a lot of things to worry about, just like being a housekeeper, so no one would envy this position.
Shao Xia did not refuse and assured everyone:
"I will take good care of the dormitory from now on, please rest assured."
After selecting the dormitory leader, Section Chief Cui is preparing to select a squad leader, or team leader, from the team to lead the team.
A team leader can be said to be the most grassroots cadre. This position is more important and more critical than that of a dormitory head.
To be a captain, one must not only be able to command the support of the team, but also be able to handle some matters within the team, which requires certain personal abilities.
Therefore, being selected as captain proves this person's level and weight.
Section Chief Cui's eyes became a little hesitant, and he seemed to be having a hard time making a decision.
The tone of his speech also slowed down a bit:
"There are nine people in our team now, and one more will join this afternoon, so there will be ten people in total. Ten people cannot be without a leader, so we also need to elect a captain to be responsible for supervising everyone's rehearsals and performances, as well as other team affairs—"
Everyone stared at Section Chief Cui in silence, waiting for him to announce who this person was.
However, Section Chief Cui seemed unsure about who to choose. He glanced around, pausing briefly on Yu Xiaoye and then on Xia Ning, seeming to be very conflicted.
Finally, it landed on Yu Xiaoye's face, who seemed a little distracted:
"Yu Xiaoye, you will be the leader of the propaganda team from now on!"
Yu Xiaoye, still in a trance:???
It was a second later that she realized that Section Chief Cui had chosen her to be the leader of the propaganda team!
Everyone was surprised by Section Chief Cui's decision, including Shao Xia, Chen Ci, and Xia Ning.
Of course, the most shocked person was Yu Xiaoye himself.
Yu Xiaoye thought she had misheard because of distraction, and looked at Shao Xia beside her in confusion. Seeing Shao Xia looking at her with surprise, she was finally sure that she had not misheard. Section Chief Cui actually chose her to be the captain of the propaganda team!
The plot has gone off track again. Shouldn't Xia Ning be the captain?
Why choose Xia Ning when she is here?
Yu Xiaoye subconsciously looked at Xia Ning who was sitting at the other end of the table. Xia Ning was also looking at Yu Xiaoye in surprise and disappointment.
Xia Ning probably thought that she would be elected. After all, she was used to the halo of high-ranking officials' children being able to dominate everyone. She never expected that one day her opportunity would be snatched away by a seemingly ordinary girl.
——Oh, no, this girl only looks ordinary on the surface, but she is actually a hot-tempered little pepper who is not to be trifled with!
After some hesitation, Section Chief Cui made a decision, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked:
"Yu Xiaoye, are you qualified to be the captain?"
The implication is, can you, a little girl, control them?
Yu Xiaoye tilted his head slightly and wanted to ask: Why did you choose me as the captain?
But she swallowed the words back in time.
No matter why Section Chief Cui chose her as the team leader, it would be very ungrateful to refuse this opportunity that came right to her.
Also, she just pulled Xia Ning's hair in the dormitory. If she gave this opportunity to Xia Ning and let Xia Ning become the captain, wouldn't that be handing a knife to others to stab herself?
So she didn't refuse, but she was a little unsure:
"Chief, let me try."
"It's better to give me a definite answer, yes or no?"
"--able!"
Yu Xiaoye nodded firmly - he couldn't do it before, but he can now!
When the opportunity came her way, she chose to take on the challenge!
Seeing that Yu Xiaoye had taken on this responsibility, Section Chief Cui nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up and said:
"I came here for this matter. Now that the team leader and dormitory head have been selected, I'm leaving first. You all should tidy up yourselves and gather in the office before two o'clock."
"yes."
Everyone stood up and watched Section Chief Cui leave.
As soon as Section Chief Cui left, the dormitory suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye felt uneasy as everyone was staring at her. Could it be that these people were dissatisfied with her and wanted to kick her off the stage?
Damn——
The pressure came up all of a sudden.
She pursed her lips and imitated Section Chief Cui's tone, saying neither servile nor overbearing:
"Let's all work together and strive not to let Section Chief Cui down."
After hearing her words, several girls nodded.
Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any intention of kicking her out for the time being. I don't know if it was Yu Xiaoye's illusion, but they seemed to be quite impressed by her. Even the heroine Chen Ci was very calm.
But Xia Ning's expression was very ugly, with a stern face and rolling her eyes from time to time, as if she was very dissatisfied.
Are you convinced?
Who is Xia Ning? Her father is a high-ranking official in the province. Who is this girl's father? He is an ordinary farm worker.
It's not that Xia Ning looks down on others, it's just the fact. How can the children of high-ranking officials be the same as the children of farmers? They have different backgrounds, different experiences, and are different in every way.
She just didn't understand why Section Chief Cui didn't choose her but Yu Xiaoye?
However, even though she didn't understand, Xia Ning didn't do anything excessive, nor did she find fault in public.
Next, as the dormitory head, Shao Xia arranged the duty roster.
What to do on duty every day is similar to what you do in the company dormitory.
It's nothing more than fetching water, boiling water, sweeping the floor, and supervising dormitory hygiene.
Today is the first day, and everything is difficult at the beginning. Many things are not yet complete and we still have to arrange everything. As the dormitory head, Shao Xia took the initiative to take on today's duty.
Not long after, Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhao from the Propaganda Department brought them a pile of firewood and a tin kettle for boiling water in a wheelbarrow.
The girls went together to move firewood and piled it under the eaves to use for boiling water later.
Water is boiled in the dormitory. There is a stove outside the dormitory, and the furnace is connected to the kang in the inner room, so you can make a fire.
If you want, you can cook on the stove, but most of the educated youth find it troublesome and are unwilling to do it, so they usually just use it to boil hot water.
There was a water tank in the corner of the outer room, but there was no bucket or ladles. Shao Xia went to the warehouse keeper and begged for a metal bucket and two ladles.
Shao Xia and Yu Xiaoye found a stick of firewood and carried a metal bucket to the well to fetch water.
While carrying water, Shao Xia walked behind and said with difficulty:
"Hey, to be honest, I didn't expect that Section Chief Cui would actually let you be the captain. I thought that Xia Ning would be the captain."
Yu Xiaoye said with some fear:
"I didn't even dare to think about it!"
"Hey, don't be angry, I'm going to say something. Do you think it's possible that Sister Liang just said something to Section Chief Cui?"
