Chapter 42 Student Council
A bucket of instant noodles, a duck leg, and a braised egg.
This is the kind of feast that Chen Che, the ultra-energy-saving advocate, ultra-low-energy person, and person who can disappear in the morning, should enjoy at noon on a university weekend.
Of course, the order was placed at "Fries at Hour," a service he personally created.
Just as Chen Che was pondering how to while away the weekend, Ma Xu, seeing that he was awake, said, "Chezi, let's go, it's time to go to the lecture hall."
"Where are we going?" Chen Che asked, looking confused.
"Sigh," Ma Xu said, used to it, and continued, "The student council is recruiting new members today. The counselor notified everyone that everyone has to go."
"If you want to go, then go. But today is Saturday. There are so many times from Monday to Friday that we can't organize it, why does it have to be Saturday?" Chen Che complained.
"What can we do? I didn't set the time." Brother Ma shrugged.
Damn it, I hate those leaders who schedule events for the weekend the most.
"Ugh, I don't want to go. I'm not planning on joining the student council anyway," Chen Che complained. Although he said he didn't want to go, his body betrayed him as he climbed off the bed.
He didn't join the student council before, and he still doesn't want to join this time.
However, the difference is that this time I have a college student entrepreneurship project in hand, and it's only a matter of time before I have to deal with these people in the student union. I might as well go and get to know them first.
The Civil Engineering Department was also a large compound, and when Chen Che arrived at the lecture hall, it was already packed with people.
Student unions and various clubs are like a game for college students, where they can experience participating in activities with like-minded people, forming teams to compete, and feeling the joy of achieving results. It is also the first arena for fame and fortune for college students, where they compete fiercely and reveal all their secrets in order to win awards, honors, and party membership.
Of course, the most direct way to understand the student union right now is through its organizational structure.
Senior students stood at the front of the stage and spoke in turn. First, the student council president welcomed the new students, saying that they were the best batch of students to date and that he believed that with their joining the student council, they would be able to take the student council of our college to new heights.
The speech was neither too long nor too short. The president's calm attitude and tone immediately captivated the freshmen. Chen Che objectively commented that it was only slightly less impressive than his own composed and witty demeanor when facing three teachers and leaders yesterday. Unfortunately, they didn't notice.
Unfortunately, I am just an ordinary freshman right now, while I am the high and mighty student council president in front of everyone.
The older generation is still the older generation; a higher-ranking official can crush you.
Ma Xu sighed with admiration, "Chezi, that's how a real man should be!"
Chen Che chimed in, "Brother Ma, he can be replaced!"
......
Next, the heads of various departments of the student union gave recruitment presentations, looking forward to welcoming everyone to sign up for their departments. Then, during the interviews that evening, they asked with serious expressions why people chose their departments.
Of course, the most popular department is the External Relations Department of the Student Union. On the one hand, people want to join the External Relations Department to connect with external businesses and companies and hone their eloquence and public speaking skills. On the other hand, the only girl in the front row wearing glasses and exuding intellectual charm is Zhang Jing, the head of the External Relations Department.
Zhang Jing smiled charmingly, and her gentle voice captivated the other half of the freshmen: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jing, and I am the head of the External Relations Department of our college."
Our department's responsibility is to raise funds and provide material sponsorships for various activities of our college, and to connect with off-campus businesses and merchants.
It is also responsible for exchanges and cooperation with student unions of other universities, organizing inter-university social events, and enhancing the external influence of our university's student union.
The head of the publicity department, standing nearby, jokingly added, "Keep it up, juniors! Our Minister Zhang is still single."
As expected, this elicited laughter from the group of boys below and an eye roll from Zhang Jing.
Ma Ge excitedly told Chen Che, "Chezi, I've met the 60th girl I want to protect for the rest of my life! I want to join the External Relations Department!"
Then, he asked cautiously, "Chezi, you probably don't want to join the external relations department, right?"
Chen Che shook his head decisively.
"Well, thank goodness, if you went to the external relations department, my chances would have dropped significantly."
"Does this mean there's absolutely no chance left?"
"Damn it, say that again and I'll blow your mind."
......
After the presentation, a stack of application forms for each department was passed from the front row. It was like preparing a resume, requiring you to fill in various personal information, hobbies, and why you wanted to join the department you wanted to join. Only those who passed the student union interview that evening could officially become student union members.
Next came the discussion and Q&A session with the ministers. After filling out the registration forms and handing them to the respective ministers, everyone could leave. Chen Che, wanting to wait for his roommates to return to the dormitory together, insisted on playing on his phone in the classroom until Chen Sui sent him a message.
"Chen Che, which department are you planning to join?"
"I won't add it."
"Ah, why? Wouldn't it be good to hone your skills by joining the student council?"
"Miss, have you forgotten what happened a few days ago? I'm busy starting my business, I don't have time."
"Yeah, hehe." Chen Sui followed with a blushing emoji.
Which department are you planning to add?
"I haven't decided yet."
"Then think about it first."
Chen Sui fiddled with her phone, seriously considering which department she should join.
The office? The student union's "chief steward," responsible for internal coordination and logistical support, which is a good fit for the class monitor's job.
Publicity Department? WeChat just launched its official accounts. Trying to operate an account and write some articles seems like a good idea, quite interesting.
The sports department? I like running, so joining the sports department shouldn't be a problem.
Only the External Relations Department... Chen Sui sighed.
Actually, she felt that she wasn't very good at speaking, and when she talked about things, she preferred to be straightforward and direct, which she felt wasn't very suitable for her.
But isn't Chen Che starting a business? Only heaven, earth, you, and I know.
With such a thick proposal, a PPT made overnight, and a carefully prepared outline, all that hard work must be recognized by the school, right?
So, only by joining the external relations department can one better learn how to communicate, connect, and coordinate with external parties.
With that in mind, Chen Sui finally made her decision and filled in the External Relations Department as her preferred department.
As for the reasons for wanting to join the department they want to join.
Um......
It's definitely not for anyone else, it's for myself, for myself, for myself...
That evening, Chen Che was watching "The Avengers" in his dorm, admiring Black Widow's graceful figure. No wonder Durant wanted to drink her bathwater.
Ma Xu pushed open the dormitory door with a dejected look on his face.
"What's wrong, Brother Ma?"
"Ugh, I got rejected."
"Damn it, Brother Ma, you're such a handsome guy, and they actually didn't want you. They'll regret it."
"Don't talk to me, I've been dumped, waaaaah."
"Brother Ma, I think the most important thing for you right now is to find the 61st girl you want to protect for the rest of your life."
Meanwhile, the student council interviews are still being conducted intensively in various classrooms of the teaching building.
When Chen Sui entered the interview room of the External Relations Department, there was only Zhang Jing sitting on one side of a table, with a chair placed not far away from the table.
Zhang Jing's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Sui, and she said, "Please sit down."
Chen Sui also sat down and, as usual, gave a brief self-introduction, waiting for Zhang Jing to ask a question.
Zhang Jing glanced at the application form briefly before saying earnestly to Chen Sui, "Chen Sui, you've passed."
On the spot, Chen Sui's name was written on an appointment letter, which was then solemnly handed to her.
"We hereby appoint Chen Sui as a member of the External Relations Department of the Student Union of our college for a term of one year."
Chen Sui was still a little taken aback and let out a questioning "Ah".
Is that all? Shouldn't there be a series of Q&A sessions?
Zhang Jing adjusted her glasses, smiled gently, and explained, "Chen Sui, listen carefully. Our first lesson in the External Relations Department is that no one will refuse to listen to a good-looking person say a few words."
It wasn't until Chen Sui belatedly walked out of the classroom that her joyful mood finally surfaced.
Chen Sui happily took a picture of the employment letter and then posted it to her family's WeChat group.
Then, she forwarded the photo to Chen Che, saying, "I've joined the student council!"
