Early in the morning on the weekend, a red sun slowly rises into the sky, casting thousands of strands of golden light, heralding good weather.
The team-building activities of the Finance Management Class 1 also started this weekend.
At eight o'clock in the morning, two buses that had been arranged in advance drove into the campus of the School of Finance on time and picked up more than fifty enthusiastic college students, as well as their homeroom teacher Yao Hui and counselor Wu Zhirong.
After learning about the content of this team-building activity, the counselor was also quite interested. He thought the plan was well done, the program was rich and quite fresh, so he agreed to the request to accompany them.
We arrived at the outskirts of Lin'an and everyone got off the bus.
It is about three kilometers away from the activity camp. Buses cannot drive through this section of the road, so you can only walk.
This is also the first content of today's activity - long journey, which was adopted from the suggestion of Sports Committee Member Li Chunhua.
You can enjoy the scenery along the way and achieve the purpose of exercising.
Of course, you can't leave empty-handed. There are still a lot of things that need to be carried with you, including cooking utensils and tableware, rice, grains, fruits, snacks, and some other sundries.
Luo Xi divided the team into several groups, each responsible for carrying different things, and each group consisted of both men and women.
This is also Su Zelin’s suggestion. After all, when men and women work together, the work will not be tiring.
The effect was also significant. When the boys saw girls in the team, they were like being injected with chicken blood, and they all rushed to perform.
You can't let girls do heavy work, this kind of thing should definitely be done by boys.
Girls just need to pick up a few things and be responsible for looking beautiful!
After moving their things and walking for several kilometers, they finally arrived at the camp, but none of the boys felt tired. They were all full of energy.
There are no such activities for boys and girls to play together in high school. If boys and girls get close to each other, they will be suspected of premature love, and the parents of both sides will probably be called to the school for criticism and education.
So all the boys were very excited about this team building.
The activity camp has a good environment, surrounded by mountains and water, and has a beautiful environment.
This place was also suggested by Su Zelin.
Luo Xi is also from another place and doesn't know much about Lin'an, but it's different for Hunzi. In his previous life, he had business in Shenghai and Lin'an, so he is very familiar with this city.
The campsite developed in later generations and became a picnic spot and a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities. The scenery is definitely unquestionable.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful, like a paradise!"
"It's perfect to camp in a place like this. The scenery makes me feel happy!"
"Ah Xi, you really know how to pick a place!"
"… "
Everyone was quite satisfied with the environment of the activity camp.
Receiving recognition and praise from everyone, Luo Xi felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment but also a little embarrassed.
"Oh, you flatter me. Actually, this is the advice given to me by the monitor!"
"Come on, Ah Xi, don't be so modest. The monitor has told us that you will be given full authority to arrange this activity!"
"… "
Now Luo Xi became more active, busying around and running around giving orders.
Su Zelin is quite relaxed. Having a capable assistant, he feels comfortable being able to be a hands-off boss.
Finally, Luo Xi had time to catch his breath.
The weather was a bit cold, but the class beauty's face was already slightly sweaty and her face was flushed.
She opened the thermos and drank the water. Seeing Su Zelin leisurely, she suddenly became angry.
"Hey, class monitor, you are the real leader of our class after all. Aren't you being too leisurely?"
"I trust you. This is called trusting people. If I let you take full charge of this event and I interfere, wouldn't that mean I doubt your ability to do your job well?"
Su Zelin was very confident in his argument.
"Even if you don't command, you should at least help with the work. Shouldn't the squad leader take the lead and set a good example?"
Luo Xi pouted her lips. Now she felt like she had been fooled by this boy.
"Who said I don't work?"
Su Zelin took out a camera from his pocket.
He brought the Casio watch from home when he went to school, since his parents rarely used it anyway.
"I've been helping take photos. For such a meaningful event, we should take more photos to commemorate it!"
"When it comes to photography skills, everyone who sees me, Su Zelin, has to address me as Teacher Su. Who else but me can take on such a difficult task?"
"Anyway, I promise to shoot beautiful, high-definition images with every detail visible. If you don't trust my skills, you can ask Nanako. She knows it best!"
Ding Lina: “???”
How would I know this
Although we agreed to take a set of artistic photos, we have to wait until spring comes and flowers bloom, and you didn’t take them for me!
…
This place has not yet become a well-known internet celebrity check-in spot as it is known in later generations, but there are still many campers there.
There is a lack of public management, and some people with poor morals throw garbage everywhere.
Everyone packed up the scattered garbage in bags and put up handmade wooden signs that had been prepared in various places in the camp.
There are environmental protection slogans on them.
"One point of garbage collection equals ten points of beautiful environment!"
"Fresh air is so fragrant, green breath is my dream, protecting the environment starts with you and me!"
"When you pick up a piece of paper, you pick up happiness; when you throw away a piece of nutshell, you throw away virtue!"
"The earth is my home. Protect it. If everyone does a little, it will benefit millions of families!"
"… "
The promotional slogans are very creative, either warm or funny, different from the mediocre "Please don't litter" and "Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility", and others will be very interested when they see them.
This handmade environmental protection promotional sign was a supplementary proposal by Su Zelin in the team-building activity plan, and was created by Luo Xi after brainstorming.
The class beauty allowed each dormitory to use their imagination freely and be responsible for a piece.
This activity also made her realize how powerful collective power is.
If I were alone, I wouldn’t be able to come up with so many creative and good slogans.
Each wooden sign has a different shape. Some look like palms, some look like puppies, and some even look like spaceships. Some not only have words on them, but also have propaganda posters and graffiti carved on them in a unique way.
In addition to the slogans, the makers personally engraved their signatures, such as "Respectfully presented to all members of the 301 dormitory, Class 001, School of Finance, by So-and-so, So-and-so, and So-and-so."
There is also a sign in dormitory 302.
"Hey, the one who accidentally threw the garbage on the ground, stop looking, I'm talking about you, please be so kind as to pick it up, thank you!"
Such a funny slogan, it goes without saying, came from Su Zelin.
The signature below is also not serious.
All members of Room 302, School of Finance:
Feng Zhongliang, Governor of Heijiang
Shenzhen native Zeng Kaiping
Jianglan Lay Buddhist Su Zelin
Jiujiang Zhuge Hou Yongjin
Hu Xu, the Hermit of Bayu
Southern Fujian Fisherman Cai Wensheng
(Announcement)
Anyone who sees this plaque will smile, and the word "accidentally" in the slogan is also very spiritual, implying that human nature is inherently good and it is just unintentional. Even people who see it will not be angry. Those who really throw garbage on purpose may feel embarrassed and pick it up again.
People still don’t know how influential these creative and unique signs are. In later generations, the campsite became a famous check-in spot for internet celebrities, and the environmental protection slogans of Class 1 of the School of Finance have been preserved, becoming a beautiful landscape that is talked about by many picnickers and campers.
Burying the carefully crafted sign was a great way to promote environmental protection and it was also fun. Everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.
Time passed unknowingly, and around noon, Luo Xi gathered everyone together again.
"We have completed the first two activities of this class team building, long-distance fitness and environmental protection publicity. Next, we have to solve the problem of eating!"
"But before that, we have to learn some tips on survival in the wild!"
"If you get lost in the wilderness and encounter a special situation, and you don't have any firearms with you, what should you do if you need to light firewood? We can use the legendary method of drilling wood to make fire!"
Everyone laughed.
Everyone has heard of this story, but no one has experienced it, so it is quite interesting.
"Next, we invite Li Chunhua, the master of making fire by drilling wood. Old Li, the task of making fire is now handed over to you, please make sure to complete it, otherwise our whole class will have to go hungry!"
Luo Xi's joke caused everyone to laugh again.
Maybe because of the influence of Su Zelin, the class beauty now knows how to use humor to liven up the atmosphere.
"Make sure to complete the mission with honor!"
Sports Committee member Li Chunhua walked out of the crowd and bowed to the onlookers, saying, "Dear students, if I succeed, I don't need any money from you, just give me some face and applause!"
Everyone laughed again.
After Su Zelin became the class monitor, the entire Finance Management Class 1 seemed to have been led astray. From the class staff to the ordinary students, no one was serious.
In preparation for this demonstration performance, Li Chunhua had already found the tutorial and secretly practiced it several times, and was full of confidence.
"Before we start making fire, we need to do some preparations."
"First, make a tinder nest with dry materials. In the wild, the most common material is dead grass. In short, make sure the material can be easily ignited..."
"Then, we need to find a piece of wood and use a sharp object to dig a notch in the board. If you don't have a knife, you can find a sharp stone. The notch doesn't need to be too big, just enough to accommodate the fire stick!"
“Then we put some bark in the notch, which helps with the friction between the fire stick and the wood!”
"The fire stick should be sixty centimeters long and about one centimeter in diameter!"
"We put the fire stick into the gap and turn our hands quickly!"
"… "
Li Chunhua demonstrated diligently and explained patiently.
After a short while, the wood began to smoke and embers appeared in the bark in the gaps.
He transferred the bark with the embers to the tinder nest and blew gently to spread the embers.
Finally, a cluster of flames burst out.
Everyone cheered when they saw this.
Li Chunhua carefully protected the small flame, slowly adding branches and firewood until it became strong, and then he stood up.
Everyone responded with applause, and some boys even whistled.
"Great job, Lao Li!"
"I didn't expect that a big, strong man like you could do such delicate work!"
"I've learned it. So this is how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. It's not as simple as I thought. There are still many details involved!"
"… "
Li Chunhua was a little proud.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
He bowed and clasped his hands one by one, then returned to the team.
Now that they had a fire, they started to prepare food.
The girls made dumplings and wontons, while the boys made sweet potato stew, bamboo tube rice and beggar's chicken, each doing their own job and making use of their expertise.
The meal was a very enjoyable one, and after eating and drinking, there were discussions and performances.
In this team-building activity, everyone was assigned a role. For example, Luo Xi was responsible for directing the overall situation, Li Chunhua demonstrated how to make fire by drilling wood together, some students held up environmental protection banners on their journey, and those students from the countryside guided others in making sweet potato stew, bamboo tube rice and beggar's chicken. Some people sang, some performed crosstalk, and some danced.
In short, everyone has a small task, and it is usually what they are best at.
This is the most important suggestion Su Zelin made in that document.
This team building activity must not only be interesting, but also allow everyone to find their own role in the activity. In other words, it is an opportunity to make their presence felt and to further deepen their understanding of each other, which will make it easier to integrate into the class group and to identify more with and love this big family.
Teacher Su also has his own small task, which is to take pictures and record these beautiful moments.
He did not have many roles or scenes, leaving the stage and limelight to Luo Xi and others.
Because Su Zelin knew that when he took the position of class monitor, he would already be the most handsome guy in the class and he didn't need to be so dazzling all the time.
However, the gangster wants to keep a low profile, but others don't allow it.
"Class monitor, you play the guitar very well, why don't you perform a song for us?"
I don’t know who proposed it first, but then everyone started to make a fuss.
"Have a song!"
"Have a song!"
"Have a song!"
"… "
Su Zelin was very quiet today, which was so different from his usual active self that everyone was a little uncomfortable with it.
Moreover, as a class monitor with such high popularity, how can he not perform well in team building
"Third brother, the guitar is for you!"
Zeng Kaiping ran out from the crowd.
Today he took out Su Zelin's guitar and tried to act cool in front of the girls, but it was a pity that the young man was not very good at playing the guitar.
Su Zelin sighed helplessly: "I wanted to keep a low profile today, but my strength doesn't seem to allow it."
"Hahaha… "
Everyone laughed.
It’s still that familiar taste.
Su Zelin's style of speaking can liven up the atmosphere with just a few words.
This is what my dad calls the art of language. Compared with the squad leader, I am still far from being good enough!
Luo Xi said in his heart.
Su Zelin put on his guitar, put away his smile, and everyone fell silent.
He gently plucked the steel strings and began to sing.
…
Stop and go along the way
Following the traces of the boy's drift
The moment before leaving the station
Some hesitation
I can't help but laugh at this homesickness
Still unavoidable
The sky of Nagano
Still so warm
The wind blew from the past
When I first met this world
Lingering
Looking at the horizon as if it is right in front of me
I am willing to go through fire and water to walk it again
Now walking through this world
Lingering
Different side faces over the years
I suddenly burst into your smile
I once couldn't help myself in the world
Also indulge in dream talk
Don't be true or false, don't struggle, don't be afraid of being laughed at
I once turned my youth into her
I also used to play the summer with my fingertips
Just follow your heart.
Walking against the light, letting the wind and rain blow
…
Su Zelin's guitar playing and singing skills are absolutely top-notch, and he is often invited to perform at cultural evenings in junior and senior high schools.
What's more, this song is also very meaningful. It is one of the songs that touched him the most. When it was played in combination with his past life experiences, it instantly infected everyone.
The sound of the strings of an acoustic guitar is as calm and peaceful as a clear mountain spring, yet it is one of the most pleasant sounds to listen to.
The sunlight in the winter afternoon is no longer harsh, but gentle like the caress of a loving mother, falling on the face of Su Zelin as he holds the acoustic guitar and playing it, making his perfect profile look even more distinct as if it were cut by a knife.
The young man's expression was as peaceful as water, and his slender fingers rhythmically pressed and plucked the steel strings. It seemed that what flowed between his fingers was not only the sound of the strings, but also the passing of time.
Once upon a time, there was a young man who was full of vigor and vitality. He was arrogant, ignorant of the ways of the world, acted impulsively and willfully, and as a result he ruthlessly hurt the girl he liked, leaving her heartbroken and leaving sadly.
The boy finally realized that he had made a big mistake and he regretted it deeply.
The torrent of time swept away the youth, leaving behind a scarred body. After experiencing the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, the young man finally washed away the lead and was no longer young and frivolous, and his state of mind became mature.
However, no matter how reluctant he was and how much he lingered, his beloved would never come back to him.
This continued until one day, when they met by chance and saw the familiar face with the sweet and bright smile again in the cool morning light. The boy was finally relieved and the shackles in his heart were released.
Time is beautiful. It is like a charming girl who brings you countless memories worth cherishing.
Time is also cruel. As she lowered her brows and smiled inadvertently, her youth passed by silently and everything changed.
We were full of vigor and vitality at the beginning, but unknowingly we were stained with the traces of time.
The seemingly plain string music and singing are soul-stirring and heart-stirring. The audience is so moved that they are immersed in the sad and beautiful mood and forget where they are.
After singing "The Wind Rises", there was a moment of silence, followed by rain of applause, and the girls screamed wildly.
Including counselor Wu Zhirong and class teacher Yao Hui, they also applauded along with everyone else.
As adults, the two teachers could better appreciate the flavor of this song, but were also a little surprised.
They could actually sense the vicissitudes of life from such a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Logically, only those who have experienced great ups and downs and the beatings of society can possess this mature temperament that has been accumulated over the years.
"It sounds great, so great, monitor, from now on you are my idol!"
"As expected of our squad leader, you are so talented!"
"It feels so good, my third brother in society, this guitar is absolutely amazing!"
"Class monitor, I love you!"
"… "
While Ding Lina was clapping her hands wildly and screaming loudly, she also gave the gangster a hot flying kiss.
Luo Xi also woke up as if from a dream. She had been completely immersed in the singing and was deeply moved.
She had never expected that Su Zelin had such amazing hand skills, which made her completely stunned.
The longer you spend with Su Zelin, the more surprises you will find in him.
This seemingly frivolous boy is actually like a treasure boy who can always discover unexpected things.
And the class beauty also discovered one thing, that Su Zelin was no longer as cynical as usual while performing, and his focused attitude was actually quite charming.
When the squad leader gets serious, he's like a quiet handsome man. I have to say, he's really quite handsome.
…
Su Zelin's performance also brought the first collective team-building activity of the Finance Management Class to a perfect end.
As a special guest, counselor Wu Zhirong came to the center of the camp and made a final summary.
"I have been a counselor at the School of Finance for more than ten years and have participated in group activities with many classes, but I have to say that this is the best experience I have ever had, no doubt about it!"
Wu Zhirong's words once again triggered cheers and applause from the crowd.
They feel deeply proud to receive such high evaluation and recognition from their counselors.
“This group activity is as interesting as its name—'The First Group Building of Finance Management Class 1'. Yes, the name 'group building' is very novel. It's the first time I've heard of it, but it's quite interesting. I think it's necessary to promote it in the department. I suggest that other classes' group activities should also be named 'group building' in the future!”
Everyone laughed. Although the counselor usually looked very serious, he would occasionally make a joke.
This interaction not only deepened the understanding between the students in the class, but also allowed them to get to know their homeroom teacher Yao Hui and counselor Wu Zhirong better.
"Your team building is not only interesting, but also meaningful."
“It combines long journeys with good health!”
“It combines environmental protection and promotes awareness of a green earth!”
"It combines wilderness survival with practical knowledge!"
“It was a mix of entertainment and everyone had a great time!”
“Of course, there is also the harmony, friendship, unity and cooperation that we have always emphasized. In team building, each of you played a different role, contributed your own strength to the class, and also gained more recognition from others!”
“I am very happy to see that although you have only been in school for a short time, you have come together from all corners of the world and have been influenced by different cultures. You have formed a warm big family in this class!”
"Finally, I have to give special praise to the planner of this plan, deputy monitor Luo Xi. According to your monitor Su Zelin, the overall plan of this team-building activity and almost all arrangements were made by Luo Xi. Congratulations on planning an extremely successful group activity!"
Everyone applauded and cheered again, everyone was very excited.
It is a blessing for the entire class that a class can have two such talented people, no matter whether they are the monitor or the deputy monitor, they are both very good.
They also believe that under the leadership of Su Zelin and Luo Xi, the Finance Class 1 will be united, loving and cohesive in the next four years!
Luo Xi was flattered. She didn't expect Su Zelin to specifically mention it in front of the counselor and take all the credit from her.
She quickly said modestly: "Teacher Wu, thank you for your praise. This team-building activity was successful. First of all, I have to thank Teacher Wu and Teacher Yao for their enthusiastic guidance and strong support!"
“Don’t be afraid of the two teachers laughing at you. Actually, the first draft of this team-building plan was very rough and full of omissions. However, after reading it, monitor Su Zelin still trusted me very much and gave me a lot of pertinent and creative suggestions in the activity plan, correcting many deficiencies!”
"Besides that, he also taught me a very important lesson - brainstorming!"
"As a squad leader, you don't need to do everything yourself. Sometimes it's more important to trust others and draw on the power of the group!"
"The content of this plan is rich and colorful because it is the result of the wisdom of the whole class. Sports committee member Li Chunhua proposed the idea of traveling to keep fit, life committee member Feng Zhongliang promoted environmental awareness, and entertainment committee member Guo Ting organized performances and group chorus..."
“Not only the few class leaders I mentioned, but everyone has contributed a lot to this event and actively offered suggestions!”
"Take those environmental protection signs for example. Their shapes and slogans come from each dormitory. Every dormitory member carefully discussed, made them by hand, and engraved their signatures to create such beautiful and unique promotional props."
“So, I feel that I have only contributed a little to the success of the Finance Management Class 1 team building. The main credit should go to the two teachers and every student in the class!”
As soon as Luo Xi finished speaking, applause broke out.
"Well said, deputy monitor!"
"Our deputy monitor is not only beautiful and capable, but also very humble!"
"It's great to have such a monitor and vice monitor. I like our Finance Management Class 1 more and more!"
"… "
Counselor Wu Zhirong and class teacher Yao Hui both nodded repeatedly after listening.
Luo Xi's words showed high emotional intelligence and were said very beautifully, winning everyone's favor.
A person like this would be qualified to be the class monitor in any other class.
Unfortunately, there is another person in the Finance Management Class who is more popular, Su Zelin.
This boy not only has higher emotional intelligence and is more worldly-wise, but he is also quick-witted and intelligent, and his thinking is imaginative and unconventional. In addition, he actually knows how to brainstorm and taught this principle to Luo Xi!
Wu Zhirong and Yao Hui suddenly felt that they really couldn't treat Hunzi as a 17 or 18-year-old boy. He was a veteran who had been struggling in society for a long time.
I really wonder how his parents could raise such a mature child...
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Su Zelin's lips.
Haha, Luo Xi has changed a lot in this life!
The class beauty in her previous life was actually quite capable. However, she was quite arrogant when she first entered university. She was too confident, even a little too aggressive. She was too tough and not gentle enough. After all, she was not a perfect leader. Many people who were soft-hearted did not respect her.
Add to that the fact that there was a selfish black sheep named Pei Wenzhe stirring up trouble, and soon problems arose in the Finance Management Class, with some acting independently and some forming cliques.
Liu Yanbin dropped out of school, Ding Lina was cheated on, two dormitories disliked each other and had a fight that was reported to the whole school, and Li Chunhua, who injured his classmates, became a notorious villain...
In short, many internal contradictions emerged one after another and the situation was chaotic. No matter how hard Luo Xi tried, he was unable to turn the tide and the group eventually fell apart.
Luo Xi, as the class monitor during those years, was also very depressed. She felt that she had worked very hard and put in a lot of energy and effort, so why did the Finance Management Class 1 end up like this
She drank too much at the college farewell party, and Su Zelin talked to her about many things. Luo Xi suddenly realized that she had so many problems.
She learned from her mistakes, and when she started her own company later, her management style was completely different. She used both firmness and flexibility and became a real strong woman.
In fact, the classmates in this class are not that bad. It can be seen from the conflict with sports students like Wei Haijie that everyone could have been very harmonious and united, but because of various reasons they fell into such a bad situation.
302 in the previous life was considered to be one of the better dormitories among all the dormitories. The six villains were very united, and because of Su Zelin's smooth and worldly-wise personality, they had basically no friction with others. But the scoundrel at that time did not serve as a monitor and had no intention of managing the class, he just kept to himself.
In this life, Su Zelin took the entrance exam for the School of Finance again, just to see his former brothers in Class 302 again. In addition, he also wanted to change the fate of the Finance Management class.
Four years is still a long time, but this is a very good start.
The atmosphere in the class is very good. Everyone gradually integrates into the class and has a sense of existence and collective honor.
Luo Xi, who was suppressed by me, was not so arrogant anymore. Discovering that others were more capable than her was a big blow to her. But at the same time, it also made her put away her sharp edge. Her edges were no longer so sharp, and she became more smooth and gentle, which is what a successful manager and leader needs!
As for the sophisticated egoist Pei Wenzhe, he has already transferred to another department. He knew that he had no place in the class and was even disliked by his roommates in the dormitory. He was looked down upon and despised wherever he went. So he used his family connections to find a way out and would rather transfer to a less good major than leave the Finance Management Class.
This only parasite and black sheep is gone!
Su Zelin lit a cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
It seems that I, the scumbag squad leader, am doing a pretty competent job.
The Finance Management Class will definitely have a brighter future!
…
