Chapter 43 Chapter 43
【57 days left before the college entrance examination】
"The election for the new class leaders will now begin. Students who are interested in running for class monitor, please raise your hands."
At the weekly class meeting, as soon as Xiao Qinghe finished speaking, He Xianyu and Chen Ge raised their hands at the same time.
Xiao Qinghe looked at Jingchen, "Jingchen, aren't you going to run for class monitor?"
Jing Chen stood up and said, "Thanks to everyone's kindness, I have been the squad leader for more than a month. During this process, I gained a lot of valuable experience and also discovered many shortcomings. And--"
Jing Chen looked at his deskmate He Xianyu and continued, "I think there are people who are more suitable than me to lead this class forward. This time, I want to run for the position of League Secretary, and I hope everyone can support me."
He Xianyu was the first to arrive at the podium to make his campaign speech.
He looked at the students below, with a calm and confident smile on his lips: "Hello everyone, this is my second time to run for election. The first time I ran for the position of League Secretary. In the past month, I organized two team-building activities. One was to send love to sanitation workers, and the other was to plant trees, both of which were successful. I think I have good coordination and management skills. This is my first advantage.
Secondly, the college entrance examination is coming soon, which is the top priority at present. I have the confidence and ability to help students improve their academic performance within a limited time.
Finally, I have a good personality, I am kind to others, and I am good at communication. If I am lucky enough to be elected, I will do my best to serve everyone, coordinate the conflicts between all parties, and let everyone face the college entrance examination in a comfortable environment. "
After He Xianyu finished his speech, it was Chen Ge's turn. Chen Ge smiled with relief: "I decided to withdraw from this election. Because I found that if I were the monitor, I would never do better than Xianyu. Xianyu is a very nice person, I hope everyone will support him."
The students below voted by raising their hands, and He Xianyu passed it unanimously.
Amidst warm applause, He Xianyu was elected as the new class monitor.
Next is the election for deputy monitor.
Only Chen Ge participated in the election.
When Xiao Qinghe was about to announce that Chen Ge would be the deputy monitor, he saw Gu Zeye slowly raising his hand.
The whole class was in an uproar.
Xiao Qinghe couldn't believe his eyes and asked curiously, "Ze Ye, why do you want to run for deputy monitor?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to experience it. It's too troublesome to give a speech on stage, so I'll say it here. If you choose me," Gu Zeye waved his hand and said generously, "I will take care of everyone's midnight snacks in the future."
Cheers broke out everywhere.
Gu Zeye used his money power to successfully win the position of deputy monitor. He poked He Xianyu on the back with a pen, and when He Xianyu turned around, he said proudly, "If I had known it would be so easy, I would have run for monitor. He Xianyu, don't think you can control me just because you are the monitor. Now I am the deputy monitor."
Jing Chen reminded: "The deputy monitor must also listen to the monitor."
"Dream on." Gu Zeye lay on the table to catch up on his sleep, showing with his actions that even though he became a class committee member, he was still a bad student who didn't know how to abide by discipline at heart.
He and He Xianyu are simply the control group.
He Xianyu is an absolutely good student. He studies well, has good moral character, and is multi-talented. He is loved by teachers and classmates, and even the staff praises him highly.
And what about him?
Two words in capital letters - "terrible".
After the class leader election session, the last recording activity of the day was carried out - sharing a good book.
Each student came to the stage and shared his or her favorite book.
Chen Ge shared a copy of "Wu San" with a serious expression and clear pronunciation, comparable to the news broadcast. "This is a highly respected teaching supplementary book. Its value lies not only in providing real exam questions and simulation questions from previous years, but also in its comprehensive guidance and counseling for students preparing for the college entrance examination. If you get "Wu San", you get the world. Those who don't know the beauty of "Wu San" are in trouble."
Cheng Rui was not convinced and shouted: "How much money did Wu San give you? Textbook Helper gave you three times as much!"
The book shared by He Xianyu is called "The Crowd".
"The Crowd is a classic work by French social psychologist Marine Le Bon. This book deeply analyzes the characteristics of group psychology and its impact on society. In Le Bon's writing, group psychology is often irrational and easily manipulated by extreme ideas. This psychological phenomenon is still prevalent in today's society, especially the cyber violence on social media, which reflects the negative impact of group psychology. I hope everyone can read it after the college entrance examination. Just like this book tells us, dare to be different and be good at being yourself."
Jing Chen shared The Little Prince. "The Little Prince is my favorite book. It is a short story of children's literature and also a fairy tale book for adults, which contains many life philosophies. For the little prince, the stars are beautiful because there is a rose on them. If you fall in love with a flower on a certain planet, then as long as you look up at the starry sky at night, you will feel that the stars in the sky are like blooming flowers."
Gu Zeye directly picked up Gu Junshan’s autobiography and gave a perfunctory reason for recommending it: “If you want to become a first-generation rich man like my dad, go read it.”
After he finished speaking, he walked off the stage and threw the book onto He Xianyu's desk. "Here's a reward for you, Rich Zero Generation."
He Xianyu opened the title page of the book, which had Gu Junshan's autograph on it. There was also a line of words: To Xianyu, I wish you progress in your studies and all your wishes come true.
Gu Junshan's handwriting is very beautiful. His strokes are clear and not dragging, and his brush strokes are vigorous. It is very pleasing to the eye and has a lot of charm.
In fact, Gu Junshan gave one copy to Jing Jiang and He from 301. It was just that Gu Zeye would rather keep the other two copies in the bottom of the box than give them to Jing Chen and Jiang Bai.
After the recording, Xiao Qinghe called He Xianyu to his nanny car and took out a set of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". It was a super rare first edition, with Mr. Jin's autograph on it. Although the book was old, it was well preserved, which showed how much the collector treasured it.
"My uncle knows that you like Xiao Feng, so he asked me to give you these books." Xiao Qinghe continued, "He is also a fan of martial arts novels. If you have time, you two can have tea and chat about martial arts."
He Xianyu took the book with great joy.
A man who eats someone's food is soft-hearted, and a man who takes someone's money is grateful.
"OK."
Xiao Qinghe took out another beautifully wrapped gift box and handed it to He Xianyu.
He Xianyu opened it and found a Vacheron Constantin watch. The sapphire crystal watch mirror, the Maltese cross lugs, and the two-tone dial made of different polishing and decoration techniques. The flow of light and shadow gives the watch an elegant and steady yet distinctive feature.
He Xianyu declined: "I can't accept such an expensive watch."
"Take it. My uncle asked me to give it to you. He regrets that he hasn't had a good chat with you because of work." Xiao Qinghe reminded He Xianyu with a hint of meaning, "He should be on his way home from get off work now."
He Xianyu hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone, and called his stepfather for the first time.
Xiao Jun's surprised voice soon rang out from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Yu'er?"
He Xianyu hummed, "Uncle, thank you for the book and watch. I like them very much."
"That's good." Xiao Jun continued, "Xiao Yu'er, I have the ability to make sure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, so you can live the life you want. I've also told your brother, he won't force you to do anything you don't like."
He Xianyu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curved up, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Uncle, thank you!"
Xiao Jun added: "Qinghe was raised by me, he is my son. You two brothers should get along well with each other."
He Xianyu secretly glanced at Xiao Qinghe. Because he had someone to back him up, he dared to stand up straight in front of Xiao Qinghe. Although to Xiao Qinghe, he was nothing more than a burden brought by his stepmother, but who could blame Xiao Jun for loving Song Xue so much in the novel?
Xiao Qinghe found it a little funny. He waited patiently for He Xianyu to end the call, and then said, "I heard from Chen Zhuo that you wanted to go out and play after the college entrance examination."
Because of what Xiao Jun had just said, He Xianyu looked at Xiao Qinghe with anticipation.
Xiao Qinghe said slowly: "Go ahead. It just so happens that I haven't traveled for a long time."
He Xianyu's grinning lips suddenly stopped when he heard the second half of Xiao Qinghe's words.
Xiao Qinghe frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you sad that I'm with you?"
He Xianyu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, Mr. Xiao, please don't misunderstand me. It's my honor."
After saying this, he placed his hands on his knees, looked straight ahead, and sat like a good student.
No matter how much He Xianyu flattered him or how well-behaved he acted in front of him, Xiao Qinghe could feel He Xianyu's vigilance and caution towards him. Xiao Qinghe thought about it and thought that it was probably those harsh words he said when they first met that frightened the boy. "Since my uncle has said so, you will be the mascot of the company from now on, a human-shaped rice cake. However, rice cakes know to please their masters."
He Xianyu quickly leaned over and said, "You can rub and touch me as you like."
The boy's hair was as black as ink, shining like satin under the orange light. Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but raise his hand and touch it.
He couldn't let it go because of the silky touch.
"Where do you want to go? Dubai or Bali?"
“Anything is fine.” Since the top star personally took He Xianyu out to play, how could he be picky?
Xiao Qinghe's voice floated like a soft white cloud, "How about going to the grassland to ride horses?"
Such a good-looking person spoke to him with such a nice voice. He Xianyu felt a little dizzy, and his brain stopped working: "Okay!"
Xiao Qinghe's voice became softer, "How about going to work after you've had enough fun?"
"Okay!" He Xianyu was stunned.
Wait, he actually fell into Xiao Qinghe's beauty trap!
No wonder the ancients said that lust is a sword above one’s head. Beauty really misleads people!
Xiao Qinghe asked Ji Zhen to contact the work schedule, and turned around to see the boy pursed his lips, looking unconvinced but having to hold it in. Xiao Qinghe was afraid that he would get internal injuries, so he took out a thermos and said, "I stewed some soup to nourish my good squad leader. You've worked hard in studying."
He Xianyu said without exaggeration that Xiao Qinghe looked like a cat feeding him dried fish. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end he only said five words: "Thank you, Teacher Xiao."
【55 days left before the college entrance examination】
The four of them went to class for morning reading. He Xianyu sat down at her seat and was about to take out her Chinese textbook when she found a pink envelope with a rose drawn on it.
This is--
love letter!
