In the multimedia classroom,
“Isn’t this Su Zelin’s ticket?”
"Yes, it's his. The handwriting is so beautiful that I remembered it immediately!"
"I didn't expect that he would vote for Luo Xi, and put him first in the draft!"
"Besides, Zelin didn't vote for himself. Look at his broad mind. He is so generous!"
"What does it mean to be magnanimous? I have seen it today. This is the bearing and vision that a squad leader should have. It is really wise for me to vote for Brother Lin with my first choice!"
"… "
There was a lot of applause in the classroom.
The gangster once again won everyone's favor.
Luo Xi's pretty face flushed. She really didn't expect Su Zelin to do this.
The first-place vote in my hand is too important. If someone doesn't vote for me and instead chooses a strong rival, the difference between the two will be a full ten points!
In the fierce competition, this score may directly affect the final result!
So even Luo Xi became selfish and recommended himself, but rejected Su Zelin.
Because she was worried that Su Zelin would do the same, and if she chose him, she would be at a great disadvantage.
However, you never expected that the other person would not haggle with you at all. He generously handed over the first-rank ticket without writing his own name on it, and directly gave up ten points.
I just spoke so high-soundingly and advised others to vote for the most suitable candidate, but I didn't do it myself. How hypocritical!
Su Zelin did not speak for other candidates, but set an example with his actions!
Luo Xi suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed.
There was a flash of admiration in the homeroom teacher's eyes.
It suddenly occurred to her that this might even be a little trick of Su Zelin.
When Hunzi wrote his name with chalk at the first class meeting after school started, he might have started planning for the class monitor election.
Not only do you have to win, you have to win beautifully and impress everyone!
If this is true, then Yao Hui can only say that this boy's foresight and skills are simply terrifying. Even she could not think of such a brilliant move!
However, even if he was a little scheming, the fact that he gave up ten points to his biggest competitor for no reason still showed his absolute confidence and magnanimity, which is undeniable!
After all the colored papers are removed, the scores can be quickly calculated.
Su Zelin was far ahead of everyone else, including Luo Xi, who was in second place. He was still far behind, but he was tricked out of one vote by Pei Wenzhe and got the result after giving up ten points.
That’s awesome!
"Congratulations to Su Zelin and Luo Xi. You have received the most votes and are now the monitor and vice monitor of Finance Management Class 1!"
Yao Hui announced the results of the election on the spot: "I hope that the two students will take on the responsibility of advancing and retreating with the class collective. As for the other four students who have been selected for the class leadership team, your specific positions will be decided after discussion!"
Thunderous applause rang out again, and many boys whistled. They were all very satisfied with the result.
Su Zelin's election was what everyone expected, and there was no objection to Luo Xi's position as deputy monitor.
Feng Zhongliang's votes were enough to successfully make him into the class leader team, which made Old Feng very happy.
In just over half a month, he was promoted from the head of Room 302 to a class leader, which can be considered a high promotion.
Ze Lin predicted that I would be able to advance two levels soon, which is amazing. He really deserves to be called Su Banxian!
I don’t know if I will be an official after graduation. I’ll find a chance and ask him to calculate it for me again!
After the class meeting, many people, both men and women, came over to congratulate Su Zelin and Luo Xi.
Hearing the call of "Squad Leader" over and over again, the gangster actually felt secretly happy.
Normally this wasn't a big achievement, but for some reason it felt better than being the CEO of a company in his previous life, with his secretary and the girl at the front desk calling him "Mr. Su" in a sweet way.
"Class monitor, don't forget your promise!"
Before leaving, Ding Lina threw him a wink and said with a giggle, "Three days!"
Is this girl really serious
It seems that I need to train my abdominal muscles specifically, so as to avoid being unable to move and being suspected of deceiving consumers...
Although he accepted the defeat sincerely, Luo Xi still felt a little disappointed and depressed as it was the first time he failed to be elected as class monitor since he was a child.
On the way back to the dormitory, she called home.
The class beauty came from a very wealthy family. She got a cell phone as soon as she entered university, but it was a thousand-yuan phone like Nokia 3310. It's not that she couldn't afford a more expensive one, but she felt it was unnecessary.
Many adults don’t have mobile phones, and some families haven’t even installed landlines yet. It’s a face-saving thing for college students to own a mobile phone, so there’s no need to show off.
Of course, there are exceptions like Su Zelin, who are not short of money and regard money as dirt.
The call was connected, and a deep and powerful middle-aged male voice came from the receiver: "Daughter, how was the class monitor election tonight? Did you get selected?"
Her father, Luo Jingxian, is a senior leader in the Jinling Finance Department.
At any other time, he would never doubt his daughter's ability, but Luo Xi had told her before that he had encountered a strong enemy, and the position of squad leader might not be stable.
"Dad, I lost to that guy. I only became the vice-class monitor. I was completely defeated in the vote counting and scoring!"
Luo Xi said in a depressed and weak tone.
"Hey, can my daughter lose to someone else?"
Luo Jingxian was slightly surprised.
"No way! Our daughter is so outstanding. She has been the class monitor since elementary school. How could she lose?"
A female voice took over the microphone. It was Luo Xi's mother, Mo Wanlan.
"Mom, this boy is quite strange. On the surface, he seems to be laughing and not serious at all. However, he is very popular in the class and gets along well with both boys and girls."
At this point, Luo Xi suddenly remembered something and added: "Besides, he sounds a bit like dad when he speaks?"
"What does it mean to be like your dad?"
Mo Wanlan was stunned, finding her daughter's words a little puzzling.
"I just don't talk much, but somehow I always attract people's attention immediately."
Luo Xi explained simply.
"How is that possible? How can a college student speak as well as your father?"
Luo Ma naturally didn't believe it.
My husband is a senior leader in the Finance Department. He is an expert in officialdom and eloquence. It is too outrageous for my daughter to compare him with the boy in her class.
Luo Jingxian showed some interest: "Daughter, tell me about the election tonight and how he gave his speech!"
"Yeah, Dad!"
Luo Xi told the two elders the whole process of tonight's election.
After listening to this, Luo Jingxian fell silent. After a while, he said, "Daughter, it's not unfair for you to lose to him! This boy knows how to grasp other people's psychology. In addition, he also has a very advanced language art!"
“Language Arts?”
Luo Xi was surprised.
"Yes, this is a very important personal ability, daughter. You have to know that in daily life, there will not always be a stage for you to give a speech. Many times, you need to grasp the psychology of others with just one or two sentences. This boy is obviously good at this!"
As the leader of the Department of Finance, Luo Jingxian is well aware of the importance of the art of concise language.
However, usually only those who are knowledgeable, sophisticated and smooth can master this skill.
Now it actually appeared on a college freshman, which surprised Luo Jingxian very much.
It can be seen from Luo Xi's retelling of the other party's speech that this person is experienced and there was hardly any superfluous line in his speech. He always got to the point, and the effect was much better than if you recited a speech of several thousand words.
Luo Xi was surprised.
My dad usually doesn’t praise someone easily, but I didn’t expect that he would think so highly of Su Zelin!
It seems that this person is really something!
Luo Jingxian said earnestly: "Daughter, sometimes losing is not necessarily a bad thing. Failure can make people better aware of their own shortcomings. There are many things you can learn from this boy!"
"Yeah, Dad, I get it!"
…
In the boys' dormitory on the other side, Su Zelin had just returned to Room 302 when his cell phone rang. It was the landline number of Lu Haoran's dormitory.
"Hey, mouse!"
"Zelin, let me tell you something!"
Lu Haoran's tone was full of excitement and joy.
After coming to the University of Science and Technology, although I have new roommates and new friends, Hunzi is still the best friend of the honest man, and I will share any good news with him first.
"Oh, that sounds like a good thing. Why, you and Xiaoyanzi are on first base?"
Su Zelin asked casually.
"What's first base?"
The little cutie asked innocently.
"Holding hands is first base, kissing is second base, and making love is a home run. Don't you know this?"
"Khan, Zelin, how is that possible? What are you thinking? It has nothing to do with Xiaoyanzi. I am the head of the department!"
Lu Haoran smiled.
He is not as obsessed with power as Lao Feng, but being a section chief is the first step towards honing himself, so the little cutie is quite happy.
"Really? Congratulations!"
"Zerlin, I think we can't just slack off in college. In addition to studying, we have to find something to do and hone ourselves early, which will be good for entering society in the future. So, I think you should also be a dormitory leader or something. With your eloquence and communication skills, I think it will be no problem!"
"I have no interest in being a dormitory head, but I have mixed up with other positions."
"What position?"
"Squad leader."
"Class, class, class, class monitor!!!???"
The little cutie is dumbfounded.
He can associate Su Zelin with many identities.
Little local tyrant, love saint, campus bully...
However, he would never have thought that Su Zelin and the squad leader had anything to do with each other.
If you tell this to anyone in Class 2 of Senior 3, no one will believe it.
First of all, it’s a question of ability. My best friend is just a jerk, but being a squad leader is a test of one’s personal ability.
Besides, my friend yearns for freedom, refuses to be constrained, and doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, so he has little interest in the position of class leader.
"No way, Zelin, you are kidding, right?"
Lu Haoran asked tentatively.
Before Su Zelin could speak, a boy from another dormitory walked in and said, "Class monitor, I want to use your computer to see if there are any QQ messages. Is that ok?"
"Use it. I'm not playing now anyway."
"Okay, thank you, monitor!"
After talking to the boy, Su Zelin changed the subject: "Haozi, what did you say just now?"
Honest person: “…”
"Zelin, you actually became the squad leader!"
Lu Haoran's tone was full of shock. He also heard the boy's address to Su Zelin through the microphone.
"What's the big fuss? He's just a squad leader, isn't he?"
Su Zelin curled his lips.
For him, it was just a piece of cake.
"Zelin, how did you do it?"
"After entering university, I realized that the people around me are so talented, there are many talented people, especially those who are running for class leaders. Many of them used to be class leaders, study committee members, and class representatives. They are all so confident and eloquent. I also wanted to run for class leader, but when I saw how outstanding others were, I lost the courage to go on stage and give a speech!"
Lu Haoran was very impressed. The competition for class leader was so fierce. It was already very good to be a small class leader. His gay friend actually stood out among so many people and became the class monitor!
"What's so difficult about this? Just go up and brag!"
Su Zelin disagreed.
"Uh, it's that easy!"
Lu Haoran didn't quite believe it.
But then again, my best friend's mouth is really sharp. He can even say that a dead person is alive and a straight person is gay. It's been less than a month since the start of the school year, and his classmates don't know that he used to be a gangster. If he can fool them a little, they might really elect him as the class monitor.
"Zelin, you are awesome!"
The honest man is convinced.
I was feeling smug about becoming a department head, but unexpectedly my best friend became the boss all of a sudden.
"Well, he's just the monitor, so-so!"
Su Zelin was not bragging. In his previous life, he was able to manage a large company in an orderly manner, so it was not easy for him to become a squad leader.
No matter what, Lu Haoran was happy for him, but he also reminded him: "Zelin, now that you are the monitor, you have to work hard and set an example. You can't be like before!"
"Of course, I'm the boss now, how can I not protect my younger brothers?"
Su Zelin patted his chest.
To be honest, this is true, but it sounds weird.
It's not like my gay friend is going to be the class monitor.
It's more like being a scumbag in Portland Street.
"Ah, yes, Zelin!"
Lu Haoran seemed to remember something and asked again: "Are you going home for National Day?"
"No, I've only been in school for less than a month. Forget about the National Day. I'll just take this opportunity to have some fun in Lin'an. What for?"
Su Zelin responded without thinking.
"Haha, you think the same as us!"
Lu Haoran said happily.
"you?"
Su Zelin wondered.
"Xiao Yanzi and I don't plan to go back for the National Day holiday. Besides, we have been in Lin'an for a while and haven't had a good time there yet. The National Day holiday is an opportunity. We can invite you and Qin Shiqing to come with us and have a small gathering."
The honest man told his plans.
He was quite upset because he didn't get to see his good friend at the last Mid-Autumn Festival gathering.
"Well, National Day party..."
It is definitely not possible to play alone with Qin Shiqing, but group activities are fine.
And by National Day, there will be about ten days before I meet her during Mid-Autumn Festival.
This time interval is about the same.
Having said that, I haven’t been together with my good friends and Xiaoyanzi for such a long time since I came to Lin’an. If this continues, we will soon become strangers.
"Okay, let's go play together!"
Su Zelin made a decision quickly.
"That's great, Zelin. I'll tell Xiaoyanzi the good news later. She will be very happy. You didn't come to the last hometown party, and she kept complaining about how busy you were after entering university!"
Lu Haoran is looking forward to the National Day gathering.
"Oh, it seems like you and Xiaoyanzi are in touch often, young man, the future is promising!"
Su Zelin joked.
During the holidays, it was he who brought the two of them together to Lin'an.
It seems that the relationship between the good friend and Xiaoyanzi has developed in new ways during this trip.
"It's OK. We chat on QQ occasionally or make phone calls. We are all friends after all."
The little cutie felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, strike while the iron is hot and get to first base!"
"Khan, Zelin, stop joking!"
"… "
National Day arrives as scheduled.
On October 1st, at 8:15 in the morning, Lu Haoran stood beside the gate of Zhejiang University.
Today, a few of us made an appointment to go out for fun. We will meet here at Zhejiang University first, and then take the bus to our destination.
The agreed meeting time was half past eight, but the honest man did not dare to neglect it, because Su Zelin had instructed that he must arrive earlier than Xiao Yanzi to show his sincerity, so Lu Haoran showed up nearly twenty minutes early.
Although I'm already a college student, I'm still a little uncomfortable being alone outside.
There are always people coming in and out of the gate of Zhejiang University. Whenever a girl looks over inadvertently, the little cutie blushes and feels very uncomfortable, as if he is suffering from the torture of living a year in a day.
The little cutie's personality is exactly the opposite of the social butterfly Su Zelin. If he is alone in a public place, he will feel completely at a loss.
I glance at the digital watch on my wrist almost every few dozen seconds, and time seems to be passing particularly slowly today.
The way he was hiding near the school gate and looking around, if the little cutie had a more sneaky look, he would probably be easily suspected of being a thief. Fortunately, the words "I am honest" were almost written on Lu Haoran's silly face, so the guard of Zhejiang University did not come out to question him.
"Lu Haoran!"
Just as I was feeling restless, I heard a female voice behind me. I turned around and saw Tang Yan.
Hoo, the little swallow is coming!
The honest man's tense body suddenly relaxed.
When Su Zelin is not around, Xiaoyanzi is the only one who makes him feel at ease.
"What are you doing hiding in the corner?"
Xiaoyanzi asked suspiciously.
"No, no, there are so many people at the door, I'm afraid I'll block their way!"
Lu Haoran hurriedly explained.
"The entrance to Zhejiang University is huge. It's not like they don't have eyes!"
Xiaoyanzi said unhappily.
She could probably guess why.
Lu Haoran is good in every way except being a coward. The nickname Su Zelin gave him is really correct.
We are all college students, can’t we just stand up straight
Xiaoyanzi was a little angry that he didn't fight back.
Lu Haoran smiled awkwardly and dared not say anything.
He could feel that Tang Yan was a little angry, but he didn't know how he had offended him.
Didn't I follow Zelin's instructions and come here early to wait for her? Is there anything I did wrong
Tang Yan raised her eyebrows and was about to say something.
"Xiaoyanzi, Lu Haoran!"
A graceful figure came closer and closer and appeared in front of the two of them. It was Qin Shiqing.
Seeing her good friend, Xiaoyanzi forgot to scold the honest man and said happily, "Shiqing!"
"Excuse me, have you been waiting for a long time?"
The parties agreed to meet at 8:30. Qin Shiqing arrived ten minutes early, but she still didn't expect Lu Haoran and Tang Yan to come so early.
"It's okay, we just arrived!"
Tang Yan took her best friend's arm and started chatting intimately. Her mood improved and she forgot about the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
More than ten minutes passed like this, and it was already half past eight, but there was still no sign of Su Zelin.
"Why is this guy so slow?"
Tang Yan grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Maybe there's a traffic jam on the road."
Qin Shiqing guessed.
"Well, it's possible. How about we find a pay phone and call him to ask?"
Little Swallow nodded.
"I'm going to fight, I'm going to fight!"
Lu Haoran hurriedly ran to a telephone booth not far away.
But before he took out the IC card and started dialing, Su Zelin appeared in the distance.
It is so easy to identify a hooligans. Just the way they walk with their hands in their trouser pockets and their swaggering posture makes them look like they deserve a beating.
"Hi, good morning!"
While greeting, Su Zelin's gaze subconsciously fell on Qin Shiqing.
Today, my childhood sweetheart is wearing a primrose yellow Diadora hooded sports sweatshirt, which is casual yet fashionable. Paired with a pair of travel shoes from the same brand, she is full of girlishness.
Since we need to visit many places today, sportswear would be more convenient.
Girls nowadays are not like those in later generations. No matter where they go, they will only think about taking photos and posting them on WeChat Moments. They must dress up beautifully, even when hiking, they will wear tights and high heels.
Qin Shiqing mainly focuses on dressing comfortably, but she is tall and has a good figure, so even a loose sweatshirt suit is still pleasing to the eye.
"Early? What time is it? Su Zelin, we were supposed to meet at 8:30, and you're five minutes late. As a boy, you made us girls wait for you. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Tang Yan frowned and complained.
Su Zelin retracted his gaze and curled his lips: "What's wrong with waiting for five minutes? Didn't you say that men and women are equal? Since boys can wait for girls, why can't girls wait for boys?"
"Uh, this..."
Xiaoyanzi was suddenly speechless.
She threw a punch that had gained her seventeen years of skills, but who knew that it would hit a master who was so skilled in the art of fighting that it bounced right back.
"Besides, there must be a reason why a person is late. You don't understand the situation at all and you just criticize me indiscriminately! Do you know what happened to me this morning? Can you first care about why your friend is late?"
Su Zelin took advantage of the victory and launched another bombardment, and Xiaoyanzi's momentum was gone in an instant.
Did he run into some trouble
"What happened to you this morning?"
"I forgot to set the alarm last night, so I got up late this morning!"
"You... go to hell!"
Xiaoyanzi almost fainted from anger.
I thought this kid was in big trouble and that was why he was late today.
If I, Tang Yan, care about this person again in the future, I will be a dog!
"That's enough, Xiaoyanzi, it's just a few minutes late, don't ruin your good mood today!"
Qin Shiqing was speechless.
Xiaoyanzi knows that she cannot beat her childhood sweetheart, but she still likes to compete with him every time they meet.
This is asking for trouble.
The honest man also excused his friend: "After all, Zelin is the class monitor now. He has to take care of so many things in the class. It's understandable that he is busy."
"What, monitor?"
Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan widened their eyes at the same time.
"Yes, Zelin became the monitor of their class. Didn't I tell you?"
Lu Haoran was very surprised. He thought Su Zelin would definitely tell Qin Shiqing, and Qin Shiqing would tell Xiao Yanzi. Unexpectedly, both of them looked confused.
"Su Zelin, you are the monitor, right?"
Xiaoyanzi forgot to be angry, and the strange expression on her face was like the sun rising from the west.
Anyone who was in Class 2 of Senior 3 back then would probably have had the same reaction when hearing the news.
"If you can be a teacher, why can't I be a class monitor?"
While Su Zelin asked back, he also confirmed Lu Haoran's words in front of the two women.
Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan finally accepted the fact, although it was a little unbelievable.
"Are all the people in your class blind?"
Xiaoyanzi shook her head repeatedly.
No wonder she questioned Su Zelin.
Anyone who knows a lot about gangsters would probably have this idea.
Including Su Zelin's parents.
After all, his son didn't look like he could be a class monitor.
"What made you want to be class monitor?"
Qin Shiqing was very surprised: "This is not like your personality."
She knew Su Zelin very well. Her childhood sweetheart was a free-spirited person who hated trouble.
Being a class monitor, in addition to enjoying the respect of others, it also means that you have to take responsibility and be in charge of all the big and small affairs of the group.
Obviously, this goes against the carefree nature of the gangster.
Su Zelin shrugged: "I've been in college, and I have a lot more free time. I'm a bit bored, so I just find something to do!"
"You are such a class monitor. I really feel sorry for everyone in your class. I'm afraid this class will be messed up by you!"
Xiaoyanzi complained.
Regardless of how Su Zelin climbed to this position, she didn't think that a jerk had the ability to manage a class.
"Then we'll see!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
If Mr. Su can't even manage a class of dozens of people, there's no point in his career.
Qin Shiqing was full of expectations.
Since he was a child, as long as Su Zelin wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do.
As the squad monitor this time, I wonder if I can come up with something to impress others.
…
