Chapter 530: The Welcome Party Program

Xia Nuannuan also looked toward Qin Tian beside her, clearly leaving the decision to him.

"Since there's nothing else to do anyway, let's go!"

Qin Tian flipped through the textbook he had already self-studied nearly halfway through and answered casually.

"Then I'll cast a vote in favor as well."

Xia Nuannuan immediately chimed in with a beaming smile.

"Five to three, the minority obeys the majority, so that's decided."

Chen Zhuang looked at Shen Siqi with a cheerful expression.

Shen Siqi feigned disdain and rolled her eyes, but said nothing.

In fact, she wanted to go too.

At this moment, the female Class Monitor from Class Two, who attended classes with them, came over.

"Xia Nuannuan, what are your plans for the welcome party this year? Are you putting on any performances?"

"Ah? We haven't discussed this yet!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled and said.

The day before yesterday during the evening roll call, after the counselor Shu Peng finished taking attendance, she announced a few relatively important matters.

One of those matters was this welcome party.

Because the School of Economics and Management is quite large and has many students, the higher-ups required the various classes in the school to be proactive and join forces to organize a lively welcome party.

Although the counselor didn't force everyone to put on a performance, she strongly supported and encouraged it, and even promised personal rewards.

For instance, for classes and individuals who performed well, she would find time to treat them to a meal.

Of course, most students were still not interested in this.

Participating in such a party is fine if you really have a talent that can impress people and is worth showing off.

If you force yourself to go up there and end up messing it up, that would be an embarrassing scene of social death in front of all the new students and juniors.

"Then shouldn't your class discuss it? The Student Union of the school will start organizing rehearsals in two days."

The female Class Monitor of Class Two reminded them.

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled and nodded.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment."

Qin Tian spoke up and shouted.

The slightly noisy classroom immediately became much quieter, and eyes fell upon him.

"Regarding what the counselor said earlier about the welcome party, is there anyone in Class One who would like to participate?"

Qin Tian asked loudly.

The students in the class looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Even those who possessed talents and had some ideas were too embarrassed to be the first to step forward.

This is also normal; after all, humility and restraint are considered traditional virtues of our people. If this were held in a Western school, I'm afraid that anyone with a bit of talent would have already raised their hand to volunteer, scrambling to show off.

"Class Monitor, let Brother Zhuang go up and perform a Northeast duet; he performed quite well during military training last year!"

Zhang Lang suggested with a grin.

"Yes, yes, yes, go for it, Brother Zhuang!"

"Brother Zhuang, sign up quickly, we believe in you."

"It would be best to have Shen Siqi practice too, so the two of you can go up together; that's what you call a duet!"

"Hahaha... this is good, this is good!"

The students in the class chimed in one after another, their attention all focused on Chen Zhuang and Shen Siqi.

"Zhang Lang, shut your mouth. What kind of lousy idea is that? Do you want to go to the bathroom and go into seclusion for the night?"

Chen Zhuang glared at Zhang Lang and threatened him angrily.

"Haha..."

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the classroom.

Shen Siqi blushed with embarrassment, crossed her arms, and said loudly: "If you want to talk about him, talk about him, don't drag me into it. I'm not going to spin any red handkerchiefs; I can't learn it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter grew even louder, and those with a lower threshold for humor even got stomach aches from laughing.

"Alright, stop laughing, we're talking about serious business!"

Qin Tian also suppressed his laughter and shouted to control the situation.

The laughter gradually calmed down.

"Qian Ling, has anyone in your class signed up yet?"

Xia Nuannuan looked at the female Class Monitor of Class Two and asked.

"Not yet, I'm also having a headache over this!"

Qian Ling shook her head with a bitter smile, then suddenly suggested: "How about we have our two classes each contribute a few people and put together a group performance?"

"A group performance?"

Xia Nuannuan looked surprised.

"Yes, as for what exactly to perform, everyone can brainstorm!"

Qian Ling smiled and nodded.

"I think that's great."

Xia Nuannuan nodded in agreement, then looked around and asked: "Does anyone have any ideas?"

"Class Monitor, just don't do any poetry recitations; they're quite boring. If we're going to do it, let's do something more novel."

A male student voiced his thoughts, and immediately received agreement from quite a few classmates.

Subsequently, students from the two classes spoke up one after another to make suggestions.

Fashion show, song medley, stage play, light show, and so on; everyone was saying something different.

Where there were suggestions, there were naturally objections; everyone held their own views, noisy and clamorous, and for a time, nothing could be decided.

The bell for class rang, and they had no choice but to temporarily let it go.

Qin Tian told everyone to think about it some more, communicate with each other, and stay behind after class in the afternoon to hold a short meeting to make a formal decision.

……

……

At 3:30 in the afternoon, after the 100-minute professional lecture ended, today's classes were considered finished.

The students, whose heads felt a bit swollen from listening to the lecture, breathed a sigh of relief, and the classroom immediately became noisy.

"Everyone, don't leave yet; let's discuss the matter of the welcome party mentioned this morning again."

The female Class Monitor of Class Two, Qian Ling, spoke up loudly.

Many students who were just about to leave heard this, remembered this matter, and sat back down.

"Qin Tian, could I trouble you to organize this?"

Qian Ling looked at Qin Tian and requested.

In these two classes, Qin Tian was undoubtedly the one with the most say.

Whether they were students from Class One or Class Two, they were all very convinced by him now, and one could even say they held some respect and admiration for him.

Everyone was of a similar age, yet Qin Tian himself was already an investment expert with a significant net worth and the behind-the-scenes major shareholder of a large chain of internet cafes.

Many students had already heard that Tianming Internet Cafe was now the most well-known brand of internet cafe in Jiangcheng, and even the television station had aired a news interview about it.

Many boys had seen the gaming competition held previously via online live streams.

Unknowingly, Qin Tian had quietly become a successful person in everyone's eyes.

In the past, perhaps many people would have felt envy and jealousy in their hearts, but after the gap grew wider and wider, it gradually transformed into admiration and respect.

Qin Tian did not act coy; after nodding in agreement, he stood up and walked to the podium.

Facing the students in the classroom, he spoke with a calm expression: "Now everyone raise your hands to state your ideas, I will write them on the blackboard, we will vote one by one, the proposal with the most votes passes, and then we will discuss everyone's individual division of labor; are there any objections?"

"No..."

The crowd responded in unison.

"Then let's begin!"

Qin Tian picked up a piece of chalk and looked around at everyone.

Soon someone raised their arm, and Qin Tian called on them one by one from left to right, then wrote the proposals on the blackboard in sequence.

In the end, a "band plus song and dance" proposal received the highest number of votes.
