Chapter 82: The Initiation Ceremony
At the end of the week, all the preparatory members of the Investment Bank Student Council attended the initiation ceremony together. This year, there were nearly 100 students who signed up for this club, half of their resumes were brushed, half of them were rushed again, and finally half of them were brushed up when they participated in the interview session, and in the end, only about 20 people were invited to participate in the initiation ceremony. It can be seen that the status of the investment banking student union in the school and the number of people who dream of entering the investment bank on Wall Street.
Qing Huan stood in front of the big white house at the headquarters of the club, pulled the corner of his clothes a little nervously, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed the door in with his high heels. She was secretly taken aback when she saw the dense crowd inside, although she knew that the admission requirements of the investment banking student union were very strict, and there was some discrimination against non-American and European students in the legend, but she did not expect that it would be such an all-white club, and she was the only Asian skin color.
The house where the investment bank student union is located is huge, divided into two floors, because today is the newcomer's initiation ceremony, so many old members are excited to rush back to trick the newcomer, the house is bustling with people, everyone is chatting with eyebrows, Qing Huan doesn't have to think about it and knows that their topic must be how to embarrass them later.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's first toast our brothers and sisters this year," a handsome man tapped the champagne glass in his hand, and then raised it to the crowd, a malicious smile on his lips, "and then let's kick off this year's initiation ceremony." ”
This is none other than Finks, the vice president of the student union, who tried to accosting him in the bar last time, and this time when they met again, she deliberately lowered her head a little, and then tried to hide her body in the figure of the person in front of her, so as not to attract his attention. Because she couldn't guarantee that Finx wouldn't recognize her, and then remembered the unpleasant party experience.
As soon as his words were finished, the people below raised their glasses in a noisy, and there was no shortage of whistles. And Qinghuan's group of newcomers stood in the middle of the house, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
"Now let's announce the first challenge for new members to complete. Finks picked up an envelope, opened it, and took out the paper raft inside, "Ask all the newcomers to take off their outermost clothes, and then run to the door of the school auditorium in thirty minutes, get the token there, and return here." ”
After listening to this, Qing Huan glanced at the mesh dress he was wearing today, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the outer layer was mesh, and there was still a petticoat left inside after taking it off.
After she took off the mesh covering the outside, she glanced at the people around her, the boys were fine, most of them were in suits and leather shoes, they only needed to take off their coats, some girls were unfortunately only wearing a dress, but they still did not hesitate to take off the skirt at all, only the underwear inside, and then ran towards the door.
Qing Huan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly ran out, just ran a few steps, and found that it was almost impossible to complete this task in high heels, you must know that there is a distance of nearly 2 kilometers from here to the school auditorium, and it is nearly 5 kilometers back and forth. She gritted her teeth, stopped to take off her shoes, and ran desperately towards the front with her bare feet.
Although the speed is faster after taking off the shoes, but because it has been raining for the past few days, the rain has washed the sand and gravel on both sides of the road to the road, and it is very difficult to step on it, the taste is not good, but Qing Huan can't take care of it, and runs towards the target with pain.
When she ran to the alley near the auditorium, she saw some passing students standing by with great interest watching their group of people running wildly, probably knowing that it was the initiation ceremony of the newcomers of a certain club, and everyone had a look of amusement on their faces.
"Qing Huan, Qing Huan ......" At this time, Qing Huan heard a voice calling her name, she looked over along the voice, and saw Su Jing standing in front of her, trying to wave at her.
"Sue, I don't have time to talk to you, I'll come back to you after my initiation ceremony. She paused breathlessly on the side of the road and prepared to continue rushing forward.
"Whoa...... Wait a minute, you're going to have your feet running like this. Su Jing grabbed her and glanced at her feet, but she was also wearing high heels today, and then glanced around, only to see the sneakers that a girl was wearing.
So Su Jing walked over to her, and after the two muttered and discussed for a while, she took off her shoes, and then walked over with the girl's sneakers and threw them in front of Qing Huan: "Put them on, and then give me your shoes." ”
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, "I don't know if this kind of operation will work...... What if there is a foul?"
"As long as it's not explicitly stated, there's nothing wrong with that, and besides, if you take off your shoes when you're almost there, you're fine. Su Jing said indifferently, "Otherwise, I can pack a ticket with you, not only will you not be able to complete the task, but you won't want to walk for the next few days." ”
Qing Huan looked at the auditorium that was still more than two hundred meters in front of her with fear, and at this time, there was a hot pain on the soles of her feet, she didn't hesitate much, she changed into the sneakers in front of her, which were a little big, but they were okay, and then ran towards the door of the auditorium.
When I arrived at the auditorium, I saw a box on the top of the stairs with the emblem of the investment bank student union on it, and the first person to arrive took an envelope from it and returned to the white house at the headquarters.
Qing Huan didn't delay much, ran up and took an envelope in her hand, and began to run back, and when she ran back, there were just five minutes left before the countdown.
Most of the people who can run back now are men, because they don't have to run in high heels or barefoot, and a few girls have also come back, Qing Huan glanced at their feet, two of them were still wearing high heels, and a few of them were barefoot, with mud on the instep, and some small scratches, which looked very embarrassed.
"Alright, it's time, close the door. Finks glanced up at the time, then spoke very decisively. Immediately after that, someone went to close the door.
The moment the door was closed, Qing Huan clearly heard desperate screams and cries, and finally they were ruthlessly isolated behind the wooden door.
"Congratulations on completing your first task. Finks stood on the steps and continued to smile as he spoke, "Now let's start the second task, please open the envelope in your hand." ”
"Wait a minute," a white girl suddenly interrupted Finks, and walked out of the crowd, "Finks, I have a question that I don't understand. ”
Finks frowned slightly, but still maintained a good demeanor, "Jesse, what's wrong with you?"
"Isn't this a foul on this girl? She was obviously wearing high heels when she first went out, but now it turns out to be sneakers, obviously she went out and changed in, which is unfair to the other contestants. ”
Qing Huan's body stiffened, and he stood there without speaking, and there was a sound of discussion around him.
Finks glanced down at the shoes on her feet, frowned, looked at the name tag on her chest and asked, "Wendy, do you have anything to say?"
Qing Huan was silent for a moment before slowly raising his head, "I think when the rules were just announced, it didn't say that you can't change your shoes after you go out, right?"
"You're using strong words. The white girl named Jesse looked at her angrily, "Why didn't the other girls go out and change their sneakers and keep running?"
"I guess why they didn't want to change their shoes wasn't on my radar?"
"You're ......," Jesse looked at her with a sigh of relief.
"Alright, Jesse. Finks glanced at Jesse sternly, "Regarding this matter, Wendy is not wrong, when the rules were just announced, there was no rule that you can't change shoes after going out. ”
"It's not fair. Jesse exclaimed, somewhat unconvinced. "She's obviously taking advantage of the loophole, and I'd suggest she get out of here now. ”
The chatter around grew louder and louder, and Finks felt a little overwhelmed.
"Fair, Jesse, are you kidding me?" a female voice rang out coldly from upstairs, "Are you still a schoolboy? ”
Qing Huan raised her head and looked up, but she was stunned for a moment, the person who spoke was none other than Joan, who lived under the same roof as her.
"President, I'm ......" Jesse seemed to have been suddenly choked by the throat, and his face showed a hint of nervousness, and he was speechless for a while.
After Qing Huan heard this title, she was even more like being struck by lightning, the president? Qiong is actually the president of the investment banking student union? The president of the club she wants to enter lives in the same apartment as herself, and she actually knows nothing?
"I think everyone should be very clear about the purpose of joining the club, after working in the investment bank in the future, the company has only one requirement for you, that is, to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, no matter what method you use, when the time comes, will you run to shout at your boss because your competitors are smarter than you, know how to use resources and relationships to achieve the goal, is it unfair? Joan leaned her hands on the railing, and there was a hint of majesty in her voice, a far cry from her usual low-key appearance.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Jesse bowed his head and confessed, a hint of remorse on his face.
Joan didn't say anything more, glanced at Finks, and motioned for him to continue.
