Chapter 24

Military training was always very boring. There were no encounters with beautiful seniors or accidental meetings with charming female teachers. They didn’t even get many opportunities to talk to the female students in their class. Fortunately, they finally made it through the first week.

Today, there was an important event in Public Administration Class 2 – it was the day they were electing the class president.

The meeting was facilitated by Professor Guo.

“Students, after a week of getting to know each other, you should now have a better understanding of your classmates. Those who are interested in serving the class, please take the initiative to speak. It is time for your classmates to cast their votes.”

Everyone looked at each other. The girls focused on Hu Linyu while the boys looked at Chen Hansheng.

Guo Shaoqiang didn’t want Hu Linyu to become the class president, so he kept urging Chen Hansheng, “Hansheng, hurry up and get up there. We’ll have a good life if you become the class president. If we let a chick be the boss, how the f*ck am I going to ditch class in the future?!”

But Chen Hansheng was not in a hurry. He smiled slightly and said, “Ladies first.”

Jin Yangming pursed his lips. Chen Hansheng was better at showing off than he was.

‘B*tch!’ Jin Yangming cursed internally. Ever since Chen Hansheng started poker nights with the boys in class, not many people cared about him and his cell phone anymore.

However, Jin Yangming still supported Chen Hansheng when it came to the selection of the class president. It was good for the boys to have him as the class president. With that in mind, Jin Yangming decided not to make things difficult for him.

Suddenly, the scraping of a wooden bench against the hard floor echoed throughout the classroom.

Hu Linyu had been waiting for Hansheng to make the first move. But Guo Zhongyun was starting to frown and Chen Hansheng was still leaning back in his seat looking indifferent.

Thus, Hu Linyu decided that she should not wait any longer. She was worried that Guo Zhongyun would be unhappy and decide that no one would be the class president.

Chen Hansheng, on the other hand, was not too bothered. Even if the class president was not determined today, he would definitely not be the first to go up.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Hu Linyu. I believe everyone already knows me with some level of familiarity because I was the one who helped everyone to register.”

Hu Linyu went on stage and used September 1 to help others remember her. It wasn’t a bad strategy because everyone had a deep impression of Hu Linyu at that time. Next, she elaborated on her efforts during military training and expressed her hope for the future of the class.

“I am enthusiastic, cheerful, caring, and always put my classmates first. If I become the class president, I will definitely use my vigorous energy and clear mind to be Professor Guo’s righthand man and serve my classmates with dedication. I will do my best to create a beautiful future for Public Administration Class 2.

“Thank you, everyone!”

After Hu Linyu finished speaking, she bowed to Guo Zhongyun amidst the applause.

Guo Zhongyun said, “Thank you, Hu Linyu, for your wonderful speech. I still remember when you helped me with sign-ups. I hope everyone can learn from her spirit. Who else is willing to give a speech on stage?”

Hu Linyu returned to her seat, still trembling nervously from her speech earlier. Shen Youchu, patted Hu Linyu’s back gently to comfort her in silence as she sat next to her.

Hu Linyu forced a smile. Then, there came another scraping of a bench against the hard floor. Hu Linyu instantly stiffened. From the corner of her eye, she could see a tall figure walking towards the podium.

Shen Youchu lowered her head again as she stole glances at this ruffian-like male student. When he smiled, his eyes looked wild and unruly, which made her a little afraid.

When Chen Hansheng ascended the stage, the boys were immediately engaged as they gave him their full attention. Yang Shichao even whistled a few times like a ruffian.

“I hope the male students can be more reserved. I’m not a beauty.”

Chen Hansheng smiled and pressed his hands together.

The male students cheered even more.

Chen Hansheng raised his eyebrows. “Zhu Chenglong, you seem to be the loudest of them all. How about you come up and give a speech?”

Zhu Chenglong was the one who had dared to talk back to the instructor from a few days ago. And Chen Hansheng was one of the few people who dared to directly make fun of him.

Zhu Chenglong touched his hair and said with a cheeky smile, “What if no one wants me to be the class president?”

Chen Hansheng ignored him and let out a small cough. “I’ll keep my speech short. I only have a few things to promise you.

“If I’m the class president, I will try my best to communicate with the teachers before the exam to ensure that every student will not fail the course. I will try my best to help my classmates achieve good things such as scholarships, grants, and group members. I will ensure that students who meet the conditions will not fail the exam. If there is an opportunity to train their individual abilities, I will try my best to arrange it so that everyone can fully take advantage of their university life.”

Chen Hansheng suddenly turned serious.

“My dear classmates, there is a big gap between us and Donghai University. Since our starting point is lower than others, we must make up for it in other areas. If we fall behind, we must improve. If we are confused, we must learn. If we are ignorant, we must socialize. To become better is to have self-discipline.”

The classroom slowly became quiet. Some were not used to the serious Chen Hansheng. Some people felt that these words spoke true to the heart and were much more realistic than Hu Linyu’s seemingly empty words.

This was the reason Chen Hansheng had decided to go on stage later. By delivering a speech that delivered on more serious issues after Hu Linyu’s airy speech, he was able to make a higher impact.

Once Chen Hansheng had finished speaking, Guo Zhongyun calmly said, “Chen Hansheng has many advantages. His organizational and leadership skills are very outstanding. Are there any other students willing to compete?”

After asking three times and no one had come up to the stage, Guo Zhongyun directly closed the nominations for candidates. “Now, please raise your hands if you vote for Hu Linyu.

“Very well. Now, those who would like to vote for Chen Hansheng, please raise your hand.”

As expected, Hu Linyu won the votes of most of the girls, but Chen Hansheng won the support of all the boys and some girls.

The class president of Public Administration Class 2 had been determined – Chen Hansheng had won.

Guo Zhongyun also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Chen Hansheng was so popular that he did not even need to use his influence as the professor to persuade him to run for class president.

The boys were naturally very happy. Although Chen Hansheng was like a hoodlum, he was very loyal and could convince the masses.

Although the girls had some regrets, they did not have any objections.

After the dismissal, Hu Linyu walked around the campus, lonely and dejected. She suddenly felt that university life was meaningless after losing the class election.

“Hu Linyu.”

Someone suddenly called her from behind.

Hu Linyu turned around. It was Chen Hansheng. He still had that unruly smile on his face.

“Why are you looking for me? Do you want to show off that you have won?” asked Hu Linyu coldly.

Chen Hansheng thought to himself, this isn’t a two-dimensional Japanese manga. Linyu’s imagination had gone quite wild.

“Let’s have a talk over dinner tonight. My treat,” said Chen Hansheng.

Hu Linyu raised her head and looked at Chen Hansheng in surprise. “You stole the position of the class president just to date me?”

Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment.

‘D*mn it, it seems like Xiao Rongyu is not the only woman who thought highly of herself.’
