Chapter 101: Undercurrent
"Hello everyone, my name is Mai Lele, and I am the secretary of the first class of high school. When I was in junior high school, I served as the class president for three consecutive years, and won the titles of Municipal Three Good Students and Provincial Outstanding Students...... Today, I am here to strive for this responsibility, and I hope to assume this responsibility, not for honor and fame, or the hypocrisy behind the flashiness, but to grow up with everyone and contribute a meager but solid strength to the student work of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. β
The first freshman high school girl to take the stage made the audience shine, and her kind smile and simple words made her win a high impression score among the student representatives.
The 13 freshmen of the first year of high school gave full play to their vigorous newborn calves and their hard work of not being afraid of tigers.
This made Qin Ran, who was in the audience, couldn't help but glance at Wang Yaxuan, and found that she looked calm, and she didn't see any nervousness at all.
Soon it was Fan Shilin's turn, and I saw that he used the past to metaphor the present, his mouth was like a river, and he played very well with his skillful on-the-spot experience.
"Together, we are a bolt of lightning; Together, we are the whole sun; Standing in one place, we are the beliefs formed with our hearts, like an iron wall that cannot be broken or knocked down. With you, my world will be more exciting! β
It was indeed a wonderful speech, which made Qin Ran have to admit in his heart that Fan Shilin won warm applause from the scene.
Xie Xinhong exhaled, he hadn't made himself so nervous for a long time, Fan Shilin's brilliance just now did not discourage him, anyway, it aroused his long-lost fighting spirit.
He knew that his advantage was incomparable overseas study experience, so Xie Xinhong's speech was mainly a small example. It shows the story of how he led the originally scattered Chinese students to unite and finally defeated the white students in a famous private school in the United States to take the leadership of the student union.
This made the student representatives who had not been exposed to the deeds of foreign middle schools listen with relish.
"I ended up with a nickname called bigfoot, because I would kick the Ass of disobedient students when I was free. When I announced that I was going back to the mainland to study, my friends on the American campus gave me a precious gift. Now, it's the shoes I'm wearing today, and they hope that I can use them to spread across the continent and use them to continue to kick your Ass. Of course, in the face of you cute and smart, I think I can't fulfill their long-cherished wish, so I have to say sorry! I guess my nickname over there is no longer bigfoot, but big
sorryοΌ β
Vivid and simple, with a unique American sense of humor, coupled with the bonus of being a school god, Xie Xinhong won more applause.
The sophomore class is indeed worthy of being the crown of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, and the first two appearances are already more brilliant than all the previous candidates.
Next, the most high-profile Wang Yaxuan appeared on the stage.
"My name is Wang Yaxuan, and the three reform announcements you have seen, as well as the direct election of the president of the school's student union this time, all have my shadow behind them. The wonderful and vivid speeches of the 15 students just now made me feel a sense of accomplishment in the autumn. Because this is what I have been looking forward to happening, changing the dull student union in the past, making it a place where students can show their talents and truly reflect the people's opinions, and now it seems that it has begun to bear fruit. Whether it is the announcement of the previous three reforms, or the current candidate primary, I feel that everyone is determined to change the reality. I would like to say that this qiΔ is just the beginning, and more exciting is yet to come. Now that I have seen in your eyes the call for change, the need for your continued strong support is the greatest response to the call in my eyes. I, who came with change, never wanted to leave disappointed. Change yourself, change the school, change the world, let's change right away from this moment! β
Although the freshmen in the first year of high school have worked hard, the three candidates in the first class of the second year of high school still show overwhelming strength. With the height of the three of them, the candidates who took the stage later were basically painless and failed to continue to arouse the enthusiasm of the student representatives. The final voting results came out, and the three candidates Wang Yaxuan, Xie Xinhong, and Fan Shilin in the first class of the second year of high school ranked in the top three and got the opportunity to enter the final direct election.
This result is exactly the same as Qin Ran's vote, and it seems that everyone is very fair and voted a reasonable vote according to the live table. As long as the people on the scene will be sincerely convinced that the sophomore class has shown unrivaled strength.
The final result also made Lan Yue satisfied. As long as Fan Shilin enters the final direct election, then her arrangements in the past few days can also come in handy.
Five days is not a lot, but a lot can happen.
Fan Shilin was summoned to the office by Lan Yue again.
"Xiao Fan, you are very good, completely beyond my expectations. Although the qualifiers were third, the gap between them and the top two was very small. I've changed the steps I've discussed with you a bit. Tomorrow, you will continue to prepare for the exchange and speech with all the students in the first year of high school, and I will arrange for you to attend as the only student representative in the second year of high school. Then at the oath-taking ceremony for senior high school adults to be held the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for you to be the moderator, and you will be responsible for speaking in a row. This is a very valuable opportunity for you to show your face in front of your first- and third-year students, and you need to be prepared to get impression points in front of them. β
Lan Yue instructed earnestly that she had been planning for a long time to prevent Wang Yaxuan's re-election, and tried her best to support Fan Shilin within the scope of her authority.
"As for the sophomore year of high school, I believe you should have a good relationship with the class leaders of the other classes. During self-study, you can discuss with them that you will give a presentation in their class for a while, and continue to enlist the support of other students. I believe that after three rounds of operation, your popularity will definitely increase significantly. As long as you don't travel during the final speech, you will be the president of the student council. β
It turned out that these were the things that the two had planned before, and under the premise of equal opportunities, Fan Shilin had the support of the school's Youth League Committee for no reason, and was able to appear in front of the whole school in advance and strive for impression points.
"Secretary Lan, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
After listening to Lan Yue's arrangement, Fan Shilin was in a good mood, so he did have the qualifications to win the championship.
On the second day, the Youth League Committee of the school organized an exchange meeting for freshmen in high school, and two top-notch students were selected as representatives in the third year of high school, while Fan Shilin was only present in the second year of high school in the name of exchanging student work experience. At the exchange meeting, Fan Shilin's sincere and atmospheric expression won the favor of the freshmen, and among the three senior student representatives, he was asked the most questions, and the answers to questions became more and more abundant, showing a unique personal style.
Two days later, at the oath-taking meeting of the third-grade adults, Fan Shilin attended as the host. In his opening remarks, he quoted scriptures and classics and warmed up the audience with impassionedness, which achieved very good results. Then halfway through, Yan sΓΉ did not lose his humorous hosting style, which made the seniors in the third year of high school smile and once again gave themselves a brilliant advertisement.
The same 3 candidates, Wang Yaxuan and Xie Xinhong basically did not move, but Fan Shilin frequently made high-profile appearances on campus a few days before the election, which made Qin Ran feel a hint of conspiracy.
In the self-study class, Fan Shilin walked out of the classroom again, met with the class leader of class 6 of the second year of high school, and walked into the classroom of class 6 together to start canvassing on the spot.
Seeing this, Qin Ran, who was quietly following behind, frowned.
After a while, a note was passed to Wang Yaxuan's desk.
"See you in 15 minutes, see you at the old place in the library, Qin."
Wang Yaxuan recognized Qin Ran's handwriting, and when she looked back, the boy's seat was empty.
After thinking about it for a while, she methodically packed her things and prepared to go to the library for an appointment. Although the tutoring was completed, their passes were not invalidated, and they were still free to enter and leave the teacher's literature reading room.
"Rub-" The voice sounded, and Qin Ran knew that it was the girl who was waiting for her to arrive. He just put down the broom, finished cleaning, and opened the window to ventilate.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, and I miss it."
Qin Ran motioned for the girl to sit down, and sighed slightly.
"It seems that almost no one here usually comes except us."
Glancing around, Wang Yaxuan replied after putting her schoolbag on the countertop.
"I didn't call you here today for anything else, I just wanted you to relax and listen to music."
Taking out the CD Walkman, Qin Ran handed one of the earphones to Wang Yaxuan.
The girl was a little surprised, but she still stuffed the headphones into her ear holes, and immediately there was a sound of a guzheng, and she quickly heard that this was the playing of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".
The euphemistic and simple music, the meticulous playing, and the peaceful and peaceful tune vividly depict the charming scenery of the Spring River on a moonlit night, showing the unique style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Closing her eyes and emptying herself, Wang Yaxuan seems to be on a moonlit fishing boat, cruising on the Spring River, and the breeze blows by her face, making her intoxicated by the charming artistic conception of poetry and painting.
The song ended, but Wang Yaxuan was still reluctant to open her eyes, and Qin Ran patiently stayed aside and couldn't bear to disturb the beauty's decision.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
As soon as her eyes opened, she returned to the reality of being a little irritable, and Wang Yaxuan opened her mouth to apologize to Qin Ran.
"If you want to get it too much, you sometimes lose yourself, and in a thought, the world is different. In Buddhist terms, it is the donor, you are in love! β
Qin Ran pretended to be a little novice and made an amitofu gesture to the girl.
"Nasty!"
Wang Yaxuan rarely showed her shy side, but soon she recovered as before, looking out the window with some loss.
"I didn't think I would panic, I've always been able to be confident. But for the first time, I had a little doubt about myself, and I doubted that I would not be selected, because there was an irresistible invisible force that pushed me away and gradually moved away from my goal. Although I pretended to be relaxed in the class, I knew that someone had already started before me, and I thought it would be fair competition, but the reality told me that it was already an unequal war from the starting line. β
The words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, Wang Yaxuan suddenly found an outlet to confide, whether Qin Ran wanted it or not, she poured them all into the other party.
As the pride of the sky, how much glory will bear how heavy the pressure, Wang Yaxuan knows how cold and warm she is.
The girl opened her mouth to speak, which was exactly what Qin Ran expected to see, so he didn't say a word and just listened patiently beside him.
"After all, a person's strength is always limited, and I'm definitely not afraid of one-on-one, but one-on-two, one-on-n, many are still invisible enemies, and I really can't bear it sometimes. You say that I am attractive, and yes, because I promised my classmates who fought with me, and I promised that I would definitely be re-elected to promote the rest of the reforms. I thought I could be very calm, but in the end I found that I had to win, because I couldn't afford to lose, and my glory and pride were invisibly linked to this direct election. β
Qin Ran, who has always been steady, made Wang Yaxuan feel trustworthy, so she said all the confusion in her heart without reservation.
"It's true that one person has a limited power, but don't forget that you actually have many friends who have always supported you. For example, I have always believed that you will definitely succeed in running for re-election and become the first directly elected president of the student council of the school. β
Seeing that the girl's mood seemed to be much calmer, Qin Ran began to respond.
"The day after tomorrow is the day of direct election, you can't play well when you are in such a mood on stage, you see that your frowning is not as beautiful as usual."
"Qin Ran, you-"
Wang Yaxuan puffed out her mouth and glared at Qin Ran hard.
"Ha, you can see that smile is so cute, just make sure you smile like this when the time comes. 60% of the students in our school are male, so when you come on stage, you will throw a few more winks and discharge electricity......"
"Smack-"
Qin Ran still wanted to play freely, but was interrupted by the girl who picked up the book and smashed her shoulder.
"Well, you see, things are nowhere near as bad as you think. Regardless, you've proven yourself to be the undisputed candidate for student council president with an excellent table, as the vote rating in the primaries shows. I voted for you at the beginning, and of course there was another vote on the day of the direct election, and if I did, remember that you would owe me a favor. β
Stretching out the index finger of his right hand and signaling that the other party owed it once, Qin Ran took out a speech from his schoolbag and continued.
"The U.S. presidential election will have its own campaign staff, although they are not talented, but they also know a little, so they have the courage to write an analysis report and attach a copy of the speech."
Qin Ran analyzed the advantages and disadvantages between the three of them, and pointed out that Wang Yaxuan's biggest highlight is change, she has brought a series of changes, so choosing her is equivalent to choosing change, which is the main point of Qin Ran's speech.
"Well, it seems to coincide with what I was thinking, but it is more vivid......"
Soon, the two began to discuss the draft of their speeches during the direct election campaign and how to answer the questions they would be asked.
"Thank you, I feel much better now, I don't have the confusion before, my heart is full of fighting spirit and I am looking forward to the day of the direct election!"
When leaving the library, Wang Yaxuan thanked Qin Ran very solemnly.
"Who made us friends!"
Qin Ran replied with an indifferent smile.
After sending Wang Yaxuan away, Qin Ran couldn't be idle. Since the other party has a good plan, is I not allowed to cross the wall ladder?
Shen Qin waited for Qin Ran in the classroom as promised, and then followed him to visit many old friends. Among them, there are not only Xu Zihao and Tang Yan from Class 5, but also Huang Zhang, who almost jumped off the building when he repeated the grade to the first year of high school, and many well-known figures all over the campus that even Shen Qin didn't know when Qin Ran had made friends.
All the visits are for the same purpose, that is, the good show on the day of the direct election.
Qin Ran didn't mind occasionally showing his hideous claws on campus for someone's sake.
