Chapter 13: Inquiry Meeting
The order of the assembly of the junior high school students is very ordinary, and it feels like a rabble of people coming together under the feeling of unknown circumstances - of course, they are indeed unknown circumstances, and then they are clamoring to prove something.
In this case, if the guidance is good, the idea of "participating in politics" of this group of children is satisfied with vague words, and they will naturally disperse. However, if the guidance is not successful, it will make them more excited - usually at this time, the school will send teachers to guide the situation, often persuading Koharu to take responsibility to calm things down.
Therefore, regardless of my involvement, if I were to organize this inquiry, the most important thing would not be to answer the other party's doubts, but to satisfy the other party's desire to question, and to respond to the other party's questions with ambiguous but seemingly incorrect answers, which is commonly known as diplomatic rhetoric, to solve the problem, that is the best choice.
I didn't tell Sonoda about this suggestion, and letting her make this suggestion would only make Kimura President and Koharu suspicious, after all, it didn't fit her serious character.
So, if things go well, I also hope that Koharu and the others will be more flexible.
Then, from a distance, I watched as President Kimura of Kizumi Middle School stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Well, let's get started! Today's inquiry meeting is mainly to solve some of your problems, and the sports festival is about to begin, and if the student council can give you a satisfactory answer today, then I still hope that the students will do their best to prepare for the sports festival." ”
I don't know what Chairman Kimura is capable of, and I don't see anything outstanding about her, except that she has a high level of tacit understanding with Koharu. However, the position of student president is never necessarily held by the most capable person, because of the sensitivity of this position, it is easier to unite students in character, and it will not easily offend others, and even the possibility of a person who is not very sharp will be higher to serve as student president - the kind of student president who controls the school by killing and decisive means generally does not exist in reality.
Chairman Kimura seems to be a person with this kind of personality, at least, in terms of decisiveness in handling things, Koharu, who has been tortured by me for two years, should be better than her, and saying such an opening statement is also in line with her character.
However, such a slightly weak and concessionary opening statement seems a little out of place in this situation. The weakness of the student council president will cause these students who are not sure whether their doubts are valid to produce a kind of "they are right" frustration, and at this time, their questions will be more tricky and their ability to quibble will be stronger.
Of course, if the party being questioned is well prepared, it is also a good choice to invite you into the urn, but the problem is that the party being questioned is not so well prepared.
Sure enough, after President Kimura said this, the crowd below was in an uproar, and then, a boy who seemed to be in good spirits was elected and seemed to be the temporary representative of these students.
I don't believe that this election was a random election, and that the vast majority of students who came to see the excitement would not want to speak, so even if the boy had nothing to do with the previous attack on the student council, he was at least fully prepared to question whether it was to satisfy his own desire to rebel against authority, or whether it was really a private plot, then I had no choice but to do so.
The boy didn't speak loudly, but as he spoke, there was a sudden silence around him, which also made his articulate voice clearly reach the ears of everyone around him.
And his question, from the very beginning, went straight to the core: "The students want to know whether the student union has betrayed the interests of our classmates in Qingquan Middle School, or whether some people in the student union have betrayed the interests of our classmates in Qingquan Middle School in the negotiation with Zongwu High School." ”
This is a very insidious question, from the beginning, the questioner is not prepared to attack the entire student council, if the unity within the student council is not close, then in the end this question can easily turn into a question about Koharu personally, and at that time, this question was successful.
"There is no dispute that the members of the Student Council are always on the same page, and any decision made by any one member of the Student Council in the process of negotiating with other schools is the result of the collective discussion of the Student Council. "However, as I know, at least at this time, the student council led by President Kimura is still firmly on Koharu's side, and will not let Koharu fight alone, nor will it divide the students.
"So, can you please explain the doubts of the students?" the boy in the audience nodded slightly and said.
"Actually, we don't know where this rumor that the student council has betrayed the interests of its classmates came from," President Kimura nodded, and replied in a presumably prepared rhetoric, "As you know, when the student council was established, the school was facing some minor crises, and the partnership with Seisen High School was cancelled, so that many students no longer had the opportunity to be guaranteed on campus. From the perspective of our student council, this should be a decision of the board of directors and has nothing to do with us, but, with the idea of helping our classmates, the student council of Qingquan Middle School is still trying to contact other schools to establish new partnerships. Please note that when we contacted other high schools, we got the permission of the board of directors, but we did not get their support, we were completely spontaneous to find better opportunities for our students to go on to higher education, and it was also at this time that we were lucky to be able to cooperate with Zongwu High School. We have worked hard for so long, is it just to betray the interests of Qingquan Middle School? Did we have any entanglement with Zongwugao before this? So, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the so-called student union will betray everyone's interests in the negotiations with Zongwugao is nonsense, isn't it?"
Just like when Chairman Kimura finished speaking, this answer also caused quite a stir among the students—but this time it was supposed to be a discussion of trust in the student council. It can be seen that although Vice President Sonoda said that Koharu and the others were not fully prepared, this defense is also blameless, on the one hand, it exaggerates the efforts of the student union for the students, and on the other hand, it also points out that the other party's doubts are completely untenable. At the same time, this questioning also perfectly evades Koharu's personal problems.
Most of my classmates may not know about the relationship between Koharu and me, and the possible consequences, but they have only heard the rumor that the student council may betray the interests of their classmates, and when the student council cuts off the basis for this rumor, they will naturally be more inclined to believe the reasonable side.
The questioning boy seemed satisfied, and he sat down like that.
This is often the case with the middle school students' interrogatories, where the second-year teenager on one side feels that he knows the truth about the world, so he tries to express his attitude, but when the authority on the other side proves his mistake with irrefutable facts, he seems to have no more reason to justify it. For him, perhaps, at least the fact that he appeared as a skeptic, was more important than the purpose of his questioning success.
That's the idealist middle school student — much cuter than the high school student, or someone who thinks they're mature and "must prove themselves right."
"However, some people said that at the beginning of the negotiation, our school's student council had an advantage, but in the end, we directly agreed to a relatively equal cooperation plan without any clarity to the general military and high school officials. Is it possible to think that the student union is a little anxious for quick success in this regard, so it has given up the opportunity to fight for the greater good for everyone?" asked a girl with glasses, standing up.
From the point of view of the problem itself, it is a bit tricky, but if you look at the big picture, this problem actually has no impact - even if this mistake is admitted, it is only a technical mistake for the student union, and it will not affect the trust foundation of the student union itself. Compared with the direct questioning of the student union itself at the beginning, the current questioning of the improper implementation of the student union is simply too pediatric.
"I'll let me, who was in charge of the negotiation at the time, explain!" Koharu and Kimura Chairman looked at each other, took the microphone, and said, "I don't know where this student heard this rumor, but I think the person who told you the news only told you half of the news, and we did have a big advantage at the beginning - this advantage was based on the fact that the chief taketaka didn't know anything about the situation on our side. As a matter of fact, it should be clear to everyone that we have a demand for the general armed forces, and even more so than the general military superiors, and that we can only rely on the imbalance of information in the initial stage of the negotiations. However, in the case of the long-term reluctance of the chief military high to make a big compromise, the risk of the situation on our side being exposed is also increasing, rather than being caught by the general military high, it is better to reach an agreement first when we have an advantage, shouldn't it?"
Of course, Koharu's words are not entirely true, she was cornered by the Ministry of Servants, and under the somewhat inexplicable tolerance of me and Xuexia, she won a result that was barely okay for her. However, under her explanation, the student council seems to have become an organization that has wittily avoided the crisis in the face of the crisis, which can in turn add to the performance of the student council.
"But how can the student council judge that the general martial arts high school may know our position at that time, and if we compromise too early, does it mean that we have lost some benefits?"
"This classmate," Koharu replied with a smile as she looked at her, "how do you know if we would lose more if we persevered at that point, or would you be willing to take the risk for all of your classmates if you were in the student council?"
The questioning girl nodded silently and sat down.
So far, the inquiry meeting of the student council of Qingquan Middle School has been much easier than I expected, and I believe it is much easier than all the student council members on the stage expected.
Most of these doubts about the student union are untenable, as long as Koharu and the others are well prepared, those unfounded rumors can naturally be crushed, which is also the best effect that this kind of public inquiry can have.
However, this ease is only built when the truly vicious problem does not arise.
As the students in the audience continued to exchange heads, they began to feel that the student union's performance was very decent, and when they were about to leave, an abrupt voice sounded: "Just now, Secretary Sugiura mentioned that 'as time goes by, the possibility of the general military high side knowing our position is increasing', so I am more curious, what channel can the general military high side know our position through?" Of course, I know that we have so many students, and we don't know that the student union is negotiating with Zongwu Gao, so it is understandable to expose the information of the school, and even, if they have the intention to investigate, they do not need to go through our students, they can find out this problem directly from the official notice between the schools. But—"
The boy who questioned stood up, and I saw some familiar blonde hair on his forehead
"—But, I would like to make a very presumptuous assumption here, what if it was a member of our own student council who leaked this information?"
"Asada san, I think President Kimura has explained very clearly just now that all members of the student council will not and have no reason to do anything to betray the interests of their classmates, let alone take the initiative to expose our own hole cards during negotiations. Koharu frowned and replied cleanly.
"Of course, I never questioned the meaning of President Kimura's words, and I never thought that the members of the student council would take the initiative to betray the interests of their classmates," Asada, the current head of the football department of Kiyosen Middle School, said with a mocking smile that made people look annoying, "I was just wondering, is it possible that some people in the student council have leaked our secrets 'unintentionally' and when their own reason cannot control their feelings? Do you think what I said makes sense?"
On the rostrum, Koharu's face turned pale.
The eyes of the students, who were still a little sluggish just now, also focused on Koharu's body. A dark, gloomy atmosphere slowly enveloped the student council members, who had just seemed relaxed.
