Chapter 279

At seven o'clock, the counselor began the roll call.

Except for a girl in Class 2 who wasn't feeling well and was resting in the dorm, having asked her roommate to explain, everyone else arrived on time.

"Very good. Same as before, I'll quickly go over a few things. First is the class schedule for tomorrow. I've brought the timetables and course schedules. When we dismiss later, each dormitory should send someone to pick up a copy and post it in a conspicuous place in your dorm."

"Also..."

After stating a few things as concisely as before, a faint smile appeared on Shu Peng's face.

"The last thing: as mentioned before, we will now formally elect class committee members. Barring any accidents, there won't be any major adjustments in the future."

"Right, let me tell everyone first: being a class cadre in college isn't just hard work; there are also benefits. It's helpful for your comprehensive evaluation and future job hunting."

"Of course, we will elect democratically and won't favor anyone."

"During this half-month of military training, I believe everyone has had enough understanding of each other to know who you should vote for."

"So now, everyone get ready. We'll start immediately. First is the most important class monitor election. As before, each class will have one male and one female class monitor."

As the counselor finished speaking, the classroom immediately became noisy.

The boys and girls of Class 1 basically had no controversy over who should be the class monitor.

While everyone was discussing, their gazes fell upon Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, who were sitting together.

"Brother Tian, it looks like there's no need to elect anything. You and Xia Nuannuan should just continue to be the monitors!"

Chen Zhuang said with a cheerful smile.

"Brother Zhuang, why don't you go up and run? I'll have everyone vote for you."

Qin Tian suddenly suggested.

He was carefree and, if possible, really didn't want to be any class monitor.

As for the benefits the counselor mentioned, he didn't need them at all.

Comprehensive evaluation?

With his current ability, as long as he didn't skip class randomly and his usual grades were passing, there couldn't be any problems.

And as for job hunting, it went without saying—working for someone else in this life was impossible. He would even choose an easy way to achieve financial freedom.

"Ah? Me?"

Chen Zhuang was stunned and shook his head vigorously. "I'm not going up. I'm afraid of being booed off. After the social event the day before yesterday, besides you, Brother Tian, which boy in our class would dare to go up and run for class monitor!"

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

"Not going, not going, stop talking."

A hint of regret appeared on Qin Tian's face, and he didn't say anything more.

"Nuannuan, it's definitely you for us girls. No need to vote at all."

Shen Siqi whispered with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan shook her head in embarrassment and said, "Let's see what Brother Tian says. If he's the class monitor, then I'll run for it."

"I think if he wanted to trick you into being sold one day, you'd foolishly follow him and even bag yourself up."

Shen Siqi complained speechlessly.

"What are you saying!"

Xia Nuannuan blushed and patted her.

"Alright, let's start now. What about Class 1? Is anyone going up to run for class monitor?"

On the podium, Shu Peng asked loudly.

"Counselor, is there any need to ask? No one is going up. We can even skip the voting; you should just appoint them like last time."

A girl in the front row answered with a smile.

Shu Peng understood and cast her gaze toward Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, saying with a smile, "Then... should Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan continue to serve as class monitors for Class 1?"

"Teacher, I object!"

Qin Tian suddenly raised his right hand and loudly declined, "I feel I'm very lazy and unable to handle the job. Please change to someone else!"

Shu Peng's smile remained unchanged. She looked at the other students in Class 1 and said to herself, "Those who agree with Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan continuing as class monitors, raise your hands and show me."

Arm after arm was raised high in unison.

"OK, it should be a unanimous vote, so I announce that the objection is invalid."

Shu Peng looked at Qin Tian with a bright smile and made a rejection gesture with her hands crossed in front of her.

"You don't even respect the person's own wishes; this isn't democratic at all!"

Qin Tian complained loudly with a helpless face.

"What? What did you say? Oh my, why can't I hear anything?"

Shu Peng turned her head away, raised her hand to her ear, and directly pretended to be deaf.

She had already predicted this result.

She also really hoped that Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan would continue to serve as class monitors; after all, she had communicated and interacted very well with both of them during this time.

Moreover, she could see the strong class cohesion of Class 1, which was the result of the military training performance, and these were all brought about by Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan.

"Hahaha..."

Everyone in the classroom was amused by the counselor's behavior and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing, quiet."

Shu Peng raised her hands to press down, letting the classroom become quiet again, and then said, "Next is the class monitor election for Class 2. Is anyone coming up?"

Hearing this, several people from Class 2 quickly raised their hands.

Now, the gap was immediately reflected.

The two temporary class monitors who had been directly appointed by Shu Peng before only felt their cheeks burning, feeling very embarrassed.

However, the boy still raised his hand.

Since showing excellent learning ability from a young age, he had almost always been a class monitor.

However, the college class monitor was a bit different from what he had imagined; it seemed that his usual methods didn't apply.

During this half-month, most of the boys and girls in the class didn't recognize him as the class monitor; instead, some words that made him very uncomfortable reached his ears.

Moreover, even in terms of learning ability, he was more than a little bit behind Qin Tian, the top scholar with a perfect score.

But he still didn't want to lose the position of class monitor, not only because it was beneficial to him, but also because his parents at home had always been proud of his top-tier performance.

To his parents, the position of class monitor was a symbol of being at the top.

"Good, it's also very good for everyone to participate actively. Let's start with Zhou Yiming, come on up!"

Shu Peng smiled and waved at the boy.

Under the strange gazes of many students in Class 2, the boy named Zhou Yiming stood up and walked toward the podium.

"What the hell? What kind of temporary class monitor has he been for the past half-month? How does he have the nerve to run?"

"Who knows? Thick-skinned. Just watch, I'll lose if he gets five votes."

"How should I put it? He's just a bit too self-centered, feeling like he lives in his own world, and everyone else should listen to him as a matter of course."

"Maybe in his previous school, no one could compare to him in studies, so gradually he became a bit arrogant."

"But everyone who can come here was a top student in their previous school. Who does he think he is?"

"Shh, keep it down!"

The students of Class 1, hearing the whispered exchanges of the people in Class 2, all felt that this election was about to get interesting.
