Chapter 280

After Zhou Yiming walked onto the podium, he took out a carefully prepared speech from his pocket and began to read.

"Good evening, everyone. It's an honor to stand here and run for the position of class monitor. I know that as a temporary class monitor for the past half-month, I have indeed done some things that weren't good enough. I want to apologize to everyone here, but I still want to try hard to strive for it. This position is really important to me, and I hope everyone can give me another chance..."

There was no problem up to this point, and many people present felt it was quite sincere.

However, the long list of his own various merits that followed made people feel a bit off.

After finishing the speech, Zhou Yiming looked up at the students below.

Noticing the slightly disgusted gazes and expressions of several boys in the front row, he became a bit anxious, realizing that if things continued like this, the position of class monitor would likely be out of his reach.

He had to say something else.

In his impatient mood, what he said next left not only the students of Class 2 but also those of Class 1 completely dumbfounded.

Especially Qin Tian, who was a bit stunned because this guy mentioned him.

"I know everyone has been comparing me with the temporary class monitor of Class 1, feeling that I'm much worse than him. I admit that I'm indeed not as good as him in studies, but I don't think I've done worse than him as a class monitor."

"Yes, I'm not as rich as him and can't treat you to food and drinks. After all, my living expenses are all given by my parents, and I can't squander them casually. That would be irresponsible to my parents."

"But for the past half-month, I have been diligent and responsible in serving everyone, trying my best to make up for it in this way."

"I've been a class monitor since the third grade of elementary school, and I think a class monitor should be like this. You can't rely on those little tricks to buy people's hearts; that's only temporary. Only after a long time will everyone know what kind of class monitor is a good class monitor."

"My speech is over, thank you everyone!"

After speaking, Zhou Yiming walked off the podium and headed straight for his seat.

On the side, the counselor, Shu Peng, was also a bit dumbfounded.

"Damn, Brother Tian, what does this guy mean?"

Chen Zhuang glared over there with a face full of anger, his fists clenched on the table.

Qin Tian also frowned, his face not looking very good.

Everyone wasn't a fool; these words were clearly targeting him.

Or rather, standing on the moral high ground, defining the things he did as squandering his parents' hard-earned money and using little tricks to buy people's hearts, thereby labeling himself as the only truly good class monitor.

He was truly a bit disgusted.

He had had no interaction with this person at all, yet he was suddenly stepped on for no reason.

This was like walking happily on the side of the road when a large truck deliberately sped through a puddle next to him, splashing him with sewage.

On the other side, Xia Nuannuan also had her eyebrows raised, her face livid with anger.

"Wow, this person is so disgusting!"

Shen Siqi complained with a look of disgust.

The students of Class 1, except for Feng Jun, who had had an unpleasant conflict with Qin Tian earlier and was gloating, were all filled with righteous indignation.

"Damn, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? Is that how you run for class monitor?"

Cao Mingliang stood up abruptly and scolded Zhou Yiming, who had just sat down over there.

This angry shout was like the fuse of a powder keg being lit, and the boys of Class 1 exploded.

"Zhou Yiming, what the hell do you mean? Are you saying we're all fools? That we were bought by Brother Tian's little tricks?"

"Are you a moron? You have to step on someone else to run for class monitor?"

"Who the hell is squandering their parents' money? Is treating everyone to some watermelon and water considered squandering? We even split the bill for the social event the day before yesterday. You don't have any evidence, so why are you just spewing shit?"

"Anyone in Class 2 who votes for this idiot is a moron!"

Zhou Yiming clearly didn't expect that his few words would provoke public anger. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and he lowered his head, not saying a word.

The students of Class 2 were also a bit unhappy now.

"You can scold him if you want, but don't just spray randomly, okay? Who are you calling a moron? I wasn't planning on voting for him anyway."

"Exactly, we know he's an idiot better than you do."

"We've long found him unpleasant too, okay!"

"What the hell, who knew he would say something like that!"

"What are you doing? Enough, sit down, don't argue!"

On the podium, the counselor, Shu Peng, frowned and controlled the discipline.

The boys of Class 1 sat back down, feeling aggrieved.

"Counselor, that bastard isn't talking like a human. Who runs for office like that?"

Chen Zhuang shouted.

The students in the class followed suit and made a fuss.

"Alright, alright, calm down first!"

Shu Peng raised her hand to press down, letting the people of Class 1 quiet down first, and then looked at Zhou Yiming and asked, "Zhou Yiming, why did you say those things at the end?"

"I..."

Zhou Yiming's expression shifted, his eyes dodging. In fact, he already regretted it in his heart.

"If you're like this, then I can only cancel your eligibility to run."

Seeing him stammering and not speaking, Shu Peng said with a serious face.

As a counselor, she had to take a stance, and those words just now were indeed very speechless to listen to.

Zhou Yiming's college entrance exam score was very high, and on the first day of enrollment, he had talked to her alone, expressing his willingness to serve as class monitor.

It was precisely because of this that she had appointed him as the temporary class monitor of Class 2.

But for the past half-month, she had been quite disappointed with Zhou Yiming's performance.

Some things she entrusted to him were indeed done, but the results were very poor.

"No, counselor, you can't do this!"

Zhou Yiming exclaimed.

"Then give me a reason. I see these weren't in your speech draft. Why did you talk nonsense at the end?"

Shu Peng questioned in a deep voice.

"I wasn't talking nonsense."

Zhou Yiming hardened his heart, simply broke the jar, and directly named names.

"It's not right to be a class monitor like Qin Tian. He has such a rich girlfriend, and Xia Nuannuan's family even bought him a luxury car. He doesn't lack money, but my family is just an ordinary family, and I don't have... If everyone requires me to meet the same standard as Qin Tian, that's inherently unfair!"

As soon as these words came out, the classroom fell into an eerie silence again.

Chen Zhuang, Cao Mingliang, and others all seemed to have anger burning in their eyes.

The boys of Class 2 also had very ugly expressions.

Although some of them had secretly discussed this in private, Zhou Yiming saying it so openly now was tantamount to revealing their shameful secrets.

"Bang!"

Someone slapped the table, and the huge sound startled everyone.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Xia Nuannuan had already stood up, glaring angrily at Zhou Yiming over there.

"What are you talking nonsense about? How can you be so disgusting?"
