Chapter 57 Winter Vacation
"Jialin, I have good news for you. Today the Municipal Youth League Committee called and talked about your situation. At the end they asked whether they had reported you as a candidate for an outstanding student cadre? You should understand what this means, right?" Qiu Jianfeng said to Gao Jialin with a smile.
"I understand. I will live up to your and the school's expectations and strive to continue to assist the school in carrying out these two activities well." Gao Jialin quickly expressed his opinion. Once the superior specifically mentions someone's name in this kind of evaluation, it is basically a sure thing.
"I wanted to ask you to come here to discuss this matter. 'Official document writing' has brought great help to all teachers and students in our school, especially the third and fourth year students. 'Writing letters for military families' has also been commended by our superiors. The army has specially written a thank-you letter to our school. This is all recognition of our school! But we can't be satisfied with this. We have to continue to expand the scale of the activity!"
"The school is going to set up a group to expand the activity of 'writing letters for military families and providing tutoring for them' to the whole school. We can't just let the students in your Chinese department work hard, right?" Seeing that Gao Jialin had already opened up the situation, Qiu Jianfeng planned to get involved and expand the results.
He then announced the composition of the group. He, as the vice president in charge of student affairs, and Zhang Min, the head of the school's Youth League Committee, would oversee the overall situation. Zhang Changqing and some student cadres would be responsible for the specific implementation. Gao Jialin was among them. Most of the other group members were presidents of the student unions of various colleges and departments, so that students from other departments could be invited to join in through them.
Among all the student union presidents of all departments, only Wang Weihua did not join. The reason given by Zhang Changqing was that this activity was led by Gao Jialin, Cui Zhiyong and other students. They were familiar with the process of the activity, and it was enough for them to represent the Chinese Department.
In fact, it was mainly because some of Wang Weihua's words reached Zhang Changqing's ears. Zhang Changqing regarded this activity as a ladder for his own advancement. How could he let someone like Wang Weihua, who might affect the effectiveness of the activity, in? Zhang Changqing also didn't understand why Wang Weihua said these things. You and Gao Jialin have no competitive relationship. When Gao Jialin wants to be the president of the student union, you will have graduated and left school.
Anyone who is a little bit smart would fully cooperate with Gao Jialin after hearing such good advice, so as to add some luster to his resume, so that he can go to a good company when he is assigned a job in the future.
Now, not only has he not been involved at all, but he has also left a bad impression on the teacher. All these will affect Wang Weihua's future. You know, the school leaders and teachers have a great influence on job assignments.
Zhang Changqing was too lazy to correct Wang Weihua. Anyway, there was still more than one semester left and the student union would be due for a new term. He could do whatever he wanted then. Zhang Changqing only needed to continue to ensure the smooth progress of these two activities.
After the group was formed, the first thing to do was to hold a meeting. Student leaders spoke enthusiastically and put forward their suggestions. Gao Jialin just listened quietly most of the time. He had already been in the spotlight enough, and there was no need for him to steal a little more of it.
It was not until the end of the meeting that Gao Jialin added a few small details. "Dear teachers and students, I suggest that when we visit military families and give them tutoring, it is best to work in groups of two. If there are girls, the other team member should preferably be a boy!"
Although Shanghai is a big city, you can't guarantee you'll run into some bad guys, so it's safer to travel in groups of two.
The students didn't quite understand, but Qiu Jianfeng had already realized it. "Gao Jialin's suggestion is very good. It also protects the students. Everyone is eager to do good things. It would be bad if they encounter some negative things."
"Let me add one more thing. Several adjacent groups will form a small team, which will be led by a team leader. If some team members have not returned by the agreed time, the team leader will go to look for them immediately!" Zhang Changqing's addition made the plan more complete.
After the meeting, student leaders returned to their departments, held meetings, and selected suitable students to join the activity. The scale of the activity instantly expanded several times.
Walking in almost every district of Shanghai, you can see students coming on time to give extra lessons to military families. They have become a unique landscape in Shanghai.
The Municipal Youth League Committee and the Education Department also held a special meeting, calling on other colleges and universities to learn from Pujiang College. After Qiu Jianfeng and Zhang Min returned from the meeting, the smiles on their faces remained for several days.
Pujiang College was established not long ago. Not to mention compared with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University and Tongji University, they are far ahead of South China Normal University and South China University of Technology, so they are rarely commended by their superiors.
Now, in front of representatives from all the universities in Shanghai, the leader praised Pujiang College for more than ten minutes. Even the representatives from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University and Tongji University were applauding Pujiang College from the audience. They can finally hold their heads high.
Before he knew it, it was the end of January, and Gao Jialin had the first final exam of his college career. During this period, he was busy with writing and activities, but he did not fall behind in his studies. After the exams, he felt that his scores in each subject should be above 90 points.
After the last course exam, roommates packed their bags and prepared to go home. Gao Jialin spent two more days going to the city to buy a lot of things, and then set off on the journey home with a full box.
He felt much more comfortable on the way back than on the way there. Feng Jie, the editor of "Story Club", introduced him to an acquaintance who worked in the railway department, and Gao Jialin bought a hard sleeper ticket from him.
According to regulations, some cadres can enjoy hard sleeper treatment when on business trips. Some of them will sell their hard sleeper tickets to others and return by sitting in hard seats themselves, so that the difference can go into their own pockets.
When they want to sell tickets, they often need the help of railway employees. That's how Gao Jialin got the ticket.
Gao Jialin was willing to spend a little money to make the journey more comfortable. Besides, sleeping in a hard sleeper would be safer as he had several thousand dollars hidden on his body!
The train rattled on for a whole day and night. At around nine in the morning, Gao Jialin finally arrived in Xi'an. After getting out of the train station, he went to buy some Xi'an specialties.
In the minds of the people of Gaojia Village, Shanghai is too far away, and Xi'an is the big city they talk about most often. The specialties here have a special place in their hearts.
He then took the bus to the bus station and after some effort bought a ticket to Yinxia. After stopping and going many times, Gao Jialin finally returned to northern Shaanxi.
He did not rush home immediately, but temporarily left his luggage at the station, took a few gifts he bought in Shanghai and went to the home of Section Chief Liu of the Education Bureau, "Section Chief Liu, I wish you a happy new year!"
