Chapter Seventy-Eight: Banhua's Little Selfishness
At half past seven in the evening, Yao Hui, the head teacher, appeared in the multimedia classroom on time.
"After getting along for more than half a month, I think everyone should have a deeper understanding of the people around them, so at today's class meeting, we will elect class cadres, and I hope everyone can vote for the most suitable person to lead our financial management class with a selfless attitude!"
"Before the voting begins, everyone who is interested in running for office can go on stage to give a speech!"
"Of course, even if the speaker does not come to the stage, he has the same right to vote, and everyone can vote for him!"
ββ¦β¦β
After a brief speech, Yao Hui, the head teacher, gave the stage to the students.
Soon, someone came up to the stage to give a speech.
Although they all knew that the two positions of squad leader and deputy squad leader would definitely be born between Su Zelin and Luo Xi, there were several places for class cadres, and there were still opportunities for other positions.
The level of these people's speeches is similar to that of freshmen, after all, they have only been in college for less than a month, and their training is limited, and it is impossible to improve qualitatively in such a short period of time.
Feng Zhongliang also went on, Lao Feng is still a bit of a petty official fan, so he is not capable enough to be a squad leader, but there is a position that is very suitable - life committee.
As we all know, Lao Feng is a diligent person.
When watching a movie in 302, as the head of the room, he was quite enthusiastic about every guest who came to play, and he poured tea and water to clean the melon seed shells, and almost no one would dislike this kind of person.
In addition, it is the relationship between Su Zelin's roommates, everyone loves the house and Wu, and Lao Feng is very hopeful to get the position of a life committee member.
After a while, Luo Xi also stood up.
"Ah Xi, come on!"
Ding Linna and the little girls in the same dormitory cheered her on.
Luo Xi nodded, she is a proud and confident girl, because of her strong aura of popularity, from elementary school, junior high school to high school, others will always love her like the stars and the moon, even if her grades are not the best in the class, she can only be regarded as upper-middle, but this position of class leader has never been left behind.
Even if she meets a strong opponent this time, Luo Xi thinks that she will definitely be the best, and the undefeated history of the previous class cadre election also makes her full of confidence.
"Dear teachers, dear students, hello everyone!"
"Napoleon once famously said: 'A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier', I want to be a good soldier, so I stepped on the podium and dedicated a little strength to the class collective!"
ββ¦β¦β
Luo Xi has a beautiful appearance, a cheerful and sunny image, lively and confident, a voice as pleasant and beautiful as a lark, a subdued tone, a bead of words, and a clear organization.
All of these can give her a pretty good impression score.
In addition, the level of the speech is also considered online, first quoting famous quotes, and a wave of raising the manuscript is forced.
In fact, this is a very normal opening skill, but many people who have not served as class cadres before don't even understand this little skill, for example, Lao Feng's speech is very simple, which is also destined for him to be a petty official at most.
In addition, Luo Xi did not bring a speech, in order to prepare for this speech, she had already read it to the ground, and many other candidates came to the stage with the script, for fear that they would forget the words in the middle of the speech, and make a judgment.
ββ¦β¦β
"A flower has to bloom proudly!"
"A tree has to grow into a pillar!"
"A person has to hone more than once, and become better every day!"
"From elementary school to high school, I have always been the class president, and I think it is not a short time to serve the class for 12 years."
There was a chuckle below.
Compared with the self-introduction at the last class meeting, Luo Xi added something new to his campaign speech this time - a sense of humor.
This is what she learned from Su Zelin, and Banhua found this technique quite useful, which can be very good for mobilizing the emotions of the audience and creating a good atmosphere for the speech.
While emphasizing that you used to be a class leader, you also weakened the Versailles part well through humorous expressions, so that people don't feel like you are showing off.
Yao Hui nodded slightly.
This girl is observant, she knows how to discover and learn from the strengths of those around her, and absorb them to become her own nourishment.
So when others are still standing still, she has already grown to a certain extent.
"However, I will not stop moving forward because of this, and I must continue to work hard to improve my ability!"
"Dale Carnegie said, don't be afraid to sell yourself, as long as you think you're talented, you should think you're qualified for this or that position!"
"I firmly believe that I have enough ability and self-confidence to work together with all the students here to build the financial management class into an excellent class with unity and love!"
At this point, she paused at the right time.
The warm applause below rang out, Luo Xi's speech was still very powerful, and everyone did not hesitate to cheer her on.
ββ¦β¦β
"The class is not only a place to study, but also our second home, and all the students in this big group are a family!"
"I am eager to laugh with my family in the next four years, work hard together, share weal and woe, and at the same time, I am also eager to challenge myself and build a stage for everyone as a class leader, a common youth stage for all of us!"
"Of course, every candidate is excellent, and I hope you can vote for the person you think is the most suitable, thank you!"
Luo Xi's speech ended, and warm applause rang out.
Of all the people who have taken the stage before, her speech was undoubtedly the best.
Whether it is personal image or presentation skills, it is at least a cut above others.
Twice quoting famous quotes to enhance the style, blending humor style to mobilize the atmosphere, and finally helping other candidates to speak, showing his own mind.
As soon as they returned to their seats, several little girls were full of joy.
"Ah Xi, you said it well!"
"I see, the squad leader must be you!"
"Needless to say, our family Ah Xi is the best!"
ββ¦β¦β
Although several girls in 501 seem to have been bought by Su Zelin on the surface, they are actually mostly joking.
Luo Xi smiled slightly, she was also very satisfied with her performance.
At this time, Su Zelin also stood up.
He is the second popular candidate for Bangan.
But in fact, everyone didn't know if the bastard wanted to do it on duty, because he never revealed it.
But everyone is looking forward to it.
As long as he wants to, he can respond to every call.
"Zelin has gone up to give a speech!"
"Whew, great, I'm still worried that Zelin doesn't want to do it!"
"You guys, don't be heavy on sex and ignore friends later, you have to vote for Brother Lin's first vote!"
"Yes, with him as the squad leader, who dares to bully our financial management class!"
ββ¦β¦β
Before Su Zelin could start his speech, everyone was in high spirits.
That's popularity, that's what everyone expects.
However, everyone is quite curious, and they don't know what kind of speech the bastard will come up with this time to deal with Luo Xi's formidable opponent.
Coming to the podium, Su Zelin cleared his throat and said, "Ming people don't say dark words, I want to be the squad leader!" β
The crowd burst into laughter.
The head teacher and tutor Yao Hui couldn't help but look at it.
This is Su Zelin's speech, informal, no verbose opening remarks, and he goes straight to the point, just like the self-introduction at the last class meeting.
However, one sentence set the mood in motion and created a sense of anticipation in everyone's hearts.
Napoleon's famous phrase "A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier" is already rotten, and bastards will never start with such a clichΓ©.
Luo Xi's face instantly became solemn.
She also didn't understand why the show where this boy spoke worked so well.
In other words, in the words of the afterlife, it is a special meeting to live.
Although I also showed off a little humor just now, I always feel that I am not on the same level as others.
"I know that my grades are not ......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed again.
Actually, the bastard is telling the truth.
However, everyone always thinks that this is really funny from the mouth of a single champion of English in the college entrance examination.
That feeling is like Lao Ma saying "I'm not interested in money", or Dong Ge's "I don't know my wife is beautiful".
Beep invisibly.
"I also know that I am not a good student, and sometimes I even fight."
If someone else says this, the squad leader basically doesn't have to think about it.
However, after a few seconds of silence, there was thunderous applause.
That fight, he could have not fought!
However, he resolutely stood up and stood up for a boy who was bullied by a senior sports student.
At that time, he and this boy had known each other for less than a month, and the two sides were not even friends in the same dormitory!
This is not a prick, but a sense of righteousness and responsibility!
Liu Yanbin applauded very hard, and his hands were almost smashed.
If it weren't for Su Zelin to take that bad breath for him, he would have to be humiliated and even forced to leave his senior sister.
Su Zelin said slowly: "I don't have any merits as a person, so I'm a little slippery......"
The applause switched to hilarity again.
Especially the girls, many of them laughed and trembled.
Because they have all seen the powerful tongue of the director of the Women's Federation.
It's not slippery anymore, it can make people want to die.
ββ¦β¦β
Every time Su Zelin said a word, almost everyone below either burst into laughter or applause.
Yao Hui nodded indestructively.
As early as the first class meeting, she found that this particular boy in the class had an unusually strong skill in controlling other people's emotions.
He doesn't have to reason with you at length, just a few words can have the best effect.
It's the art of language!
The best speeches are not flowery rhetoric and rhetoric, but the ability to incite others with the least amount of words.
It's the same as the famous golden sentences of those bigwigs in later generations, "I'm not interested in money" and "set a small goal first".
In real life, there won't always be a stage where you can pitch yourself at length to others.
A lot of the time, you have to cut through the crowd and seize the fleeting opportunity to get attention.
That's when the power of language arts, refined to the extreme, comes into play, and it can instantly make you the center of attention.
If you talk about it for a long time, what you think is a lofty speech, in fact, may be very old-fashioned and boring in the eyes of others, and people will not have the patience to listen to it at all.
But the person who has mastered this kind of ingenious language art, as long as he speaks casually, everyone's eyes may fall on him.
Although Luo Xi's speech was also very decent, and she was inspired by Su Zelin's self-introduction at the last class meeting and mixed some sense of humor, but that's all, she couldn't completely jump out of the clichΓ©d thinking of high school students after all.
Because of this, she only won a total of three applauses in the whole process, unlike Su Zelin, who was accompanied by applause or laughter in every sentence!
This is the effect of the whole life, which seems simple, but in fact it is profound.
The bastard's speech is very interesting and down-to-earth, this kind of person is a social maniac in society, and he has countless friends, so no matter which big city Su Zelin went to play or go on a business trip in his previous life, as long as he sent a talk about Shenma before getting on the plane or high-speed train, he will soon have local friends ask him to eat and drink and walk with a big sword at night, because everyone likes to play friends with this kind of person and have fun together.
Coming back to this speech, if you think that Su Zelin is just entertaining the public, you are very wrong.
In fact, everything he said casually had a deep meaning.
My grades are not good = I am the top student in English in the college entrance examination!
I'm not a good student, I can fight = I help others out, I am very righteous and responsible!
I don't have any good qualities, but I'm slippery = I'm very eloquent and can communicate well with everyone!
β¦β¦
The same thing, the expression is different, but the effect is worlds apart.
Behind Su Zelin's seemingly self-deprecating appearance, he quietly and secretly pretended to be a low-key good beep.
This way of showing oneself is undoubtedly more likely to bring good impression than direct boasting, and will make the audience feel that the person is cute and humble.
In comparison, Luo Xi's way can only be regarded as decent, slightly traditional and conservative, this set may be useful in junior high school and high school, but when you go out of society, you will be directly beaten by an old oiler like Su Zelin.
Even during college, Luo Xi's advantages were gone.
College students are much more civilized than high school students, and they are limited by rigid rules for more than ten years, and they will be more eager for an avant-garde, more energetic and energetic leader in their hearts!
In fact, many class presidents in universities, as well as high-level cadres in the student union, are not necessarily excellent in character and learning, but more people who can mix well, which is obviously different from high school.
Yao Hui felt very incredible, Su Zelin, a college freshman, could have such a brilliant language art in his speech, and his words revealed that he was light and light, his thinking was unrestrained, he was free, he was sleek and sleek, and he had all kinds of communication skills at his fingertips.
If it were me, I am afraid that I would not be able to make such a wonderful speech.
The difference in wrists between the two popular squad president candidates is too big, like a small child and an adult battling!
Not at all on a level!
The winner is decided!
Although voting has not yet begun, Yao Hui can already predict the outcome.
"Time is precious, I've been verbose for so long, I won't talk about superfluous nonsense! In short, if I can be a class leader, I will definitely bring everyone to eat and drink spicy! β
In the end, Su Zelin still ended with a slightly indecent summary, which drew a perfect end to this speech.
The applause was thunderous in an instant, and it lasted for a long time, Su Zelin walked back to his seat, and many people were still clapping their hands desperately.
Luo Xi suddenly panicked.
Before the start of the speech, she was quite confident, well prepared, and felt good about herself on the spot.
However, compared with Su Zelin, his seemingly beautiful speech seemed to have no bright spots.
You say a lot of things, but others may not remember anything.
However, every word Su Zelin said was enough to impress the audience.
In terms of the effect of the speech, I am a complete failure.
It's okay, whether you can be a squad leader or not is not just about who can speak well, ability is more important!
Luo Xi secretly comforted herself.
"Third brother, you are too powerful!"
The spiritual guy is now a fan of Su Zelin, and as soon as the bastard comes back, he gives a thumbs up, and he doesn't forget to canvass for his idol.
"You guys will remember to vote for the third brother later, don't patronize the heavy color and light friends, there is absolutely no one in our class who is more suitable to be the squad leader than him!"
After waiting for a while, no one went up to give a speech again.
Pei Wenzhe, who was originally intended to be the squad leader, didn't even go up.
He is self-aware, notorious in the class, and when he gives a speech on stage, he will be booed and humiliated.
Yao Hui, the head teacher, came to the podium again.
"The speeches of the students are very wonderful, showing the determination to challenge themselves and contribute to the class, and now we are entering the public voting session!"
"Later, each person will come up to the stage to receive a small piece of colored paper, on which you can write the names of up to six candidates!"
"The candidates are named in the order from top to bottom, and the scores are different, the first pick gets five points, the second pick gets three points, and the third to sixth picks all get two points!"
"The two people with the most total scores and the second place will be selected as our squad leader and deputy squad leader, and the rest will be allocated the rest of the positions according to their personal wishes and abilities!"
"Now you have five minutes to think about it and make a final decision!"
ββ¦β¦β
Soon, five minutes were up and voting began.
Starting with the girl sitting on the far left in the first row, she walked to the stage, received a piece of colored paper from the head teacher, wrote down a few names on the spot, and then crumpled them into a ball and stuffed them into a transparent glass box on the stage.
Yao Hui was an exchange student, and was deeply influenced by the ideas of foreign universities, and paid great attention to fairness, justice and openness.
This method of voting shows that no one, including herself, can operate in the dark.
At the same time, voters are not allowed to be influenced by others.
For example, if a candidate is your roommate and you sit next to him, you may feel that this person is not a suitable candidate for the team, but you have to vote for it because of your feelings.
Go to the podium alone to complete the vote, no one is around, you can vote for whoever you want, and it is relatively fair.
Everyone voted one by one, and after half an hour, the last person also finished voting.
"Very good, now let's count everyone's votes and scores!"
The head teacher tutor first turned on the multimedia scanning projector, and then casually found someone to help him go on stage to count the votes.
The first small piece of confetti was taken apart, placed under the instrument, and projected onto the white curtain of the classroom, so that everyone could see the five names written on it.
"Luo Xi, Su Zelin, Hou Chunhua, Guo Ting, Feng Zhongliang, Chen Jie!"
Sure enough, there was no surprise, the first and second voters were Luo Xi and Su Zelin, and Feng Zhongliang also got one vote, although it was the fifth vote, but Lao Feng was still happy.
Luo Xi was in good spirits, this is a good start.
The first pick is a full five points, which is two points more than the second pick, which is very important.
The recorder writes down each person's name and gives them a horizontal line on the different priority votes, which are counted in straight letters.
Open the second piece of confetti again.
"Su Zelin, Luo Xi, Feng Zhongliang, Zhao Rui, Fang Yaling, Chen Jie!"
ββ¦β¦β
The small colored paper was opened, and Luo Xi's mood began to tense.
When she ran for squad president in the past, she was ahead of others every time, but this time she met a strong opponent, Su Zelin, who was extremely popular, and she was not half a point sure.
In comparison, the bastard is very relaxed, and he also leisurely turns a hero pen, which seems to be not taken seriously.
He has absolute self-confidence.
Anyway, he used to be the president of a large company, and if he couldn't even beat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, then he didn't have to mess around!
Soon more than half of the votes were recorded, and Su Zelin's advantage was already obvious, he got most of the most important first picks, even if he couldn't get the first pick, it was also the second pick, and this advantage was difficult to shake.
All the boys almost gave the first ticket to Su Zelin, because he was so popular in the past month, he can get acquainted with almost every dormitory person, he can brag and fart, he is generous, and the computer is about to become public, and he will give him a cigarette when he sees someone.
The most important thing is that he fought for Liu Yanbin of 305, facing several sports students of the school basketball team, which established absolute prestige for the bastard, and he has long been faintly a leader.
If it weren't for that, many boys might still give him the first vote, but maybe not so uniformly.
Luo Xi's face was not very good-looking, because she also realized that she had lost.
Another small piece of colored paper was opened, and finally the first priority was not Su Zelin, and what was even more surprising was that there was no name of Su Zelin on it, and he did not appear in any order.
This is the first time that this has happened so far.
The font style displayed on the projector seems to have been deliberately changed, but it can still be seen that it is relatively rough and should be from the hands of boys.
Everyone's eyes invariably fell on Pei Wenzhe.
Among the boys, if you can think of someone who won't vote for Su Zelin, it must be Pei Wenzhe.
He originally looked at Su Zelin unpleasantly, and used shady tricks to accuse him of maliciously fighting in groups, which led to his reputation being discredited, no one in the class looked down on him, and Liu Yanbin and others in the dormitory were unwilling to sit with him in class.
Pei Wenzhe's face turned red and white, and he lowered his head, this ballot did come from his hand, but he didn't expect how to modify the font or it was useless, and others guessed it at once.
"Lose Lei Lou, die two or five boys are damp, give birth to a certain, I'll top your lungs, Yan Jia shovel!"
Zeng Kaiping saw this and exploded Cantonese spraying people again.
Others were also indignant.
"Pei Wenzhe's product is really a small intestine chicken belly, he went to snitch and made his reputation stink, Su Zelin didn't care about him, and now he hates others!"
"I've considered choosing him as the squad leader before, I'm really blind!"
"Don't, if such a vicious and narrow-minded villain is allowed to lead our financial management class, I'm afraid that the whole class will be made by him!"
ββ¦β¦β
In his previous life, the financial management team was once made into a miasma by Pei Wenzhe, and he was scattered.
This person is selfish by nature, he is an egoist, he doesn't care about other classmates at all, and he just uses the position of deputy squad leader as a tool for his own interests.
Luo Xi was exhausted, and he couldn't save the mess, and after graduating for more than ten years, he didn't even have a decent party, can you believe it?
However, Su Zelin is confident that the class will be well organized and harmonious.
In addition, he also hoped that his college life would be richer and more fulfilling in his life, so he participated in the election campaign as a matter of course.
continued to record the ballots, and after a while, there was another piece of colored paper without Su Zelin's name, and the font style was deliberately modified, but this time the handwriting seemed to be a girl.
Everyone was not surprised, although Su Zelin was the director of the Women's Federation in the class, individual girls may still be selfish and more biased towards Luo Xi, just like Liu Yanbin among the boys also deliberately did not choose Luo Xi is the same reason.
It's not that Luo Xi is bad, but Liu Yanbin feels that he can only express his gratitude to Su Zelin in this way.
Luo Xi was a little cautious, because she voted for this vote.
In the face of her fierce opponent, she didn't dare to be careless, and selfishly voted for herself and didn't write Su Zelin's name.
Luo Xi felt that this was very natural, after all, Su Zelin on the other side would probably do the same.
It's a pity that the result will not change because of her and Pei Wenzhe's two votes that are very unfavorable to Su Zelin.
The first pick of the bastards got too many votes, and almost all the boys were put in the first place, and many girls even made the same choice.
After all, the title of director of the Women's Federation is not for nothing, and Luo Xi's aura of popularity is not invincible, the same sex is repulsive, and there are some girls who don't particularly like her.
There are still a few ballots left, and there is no suspense about the ownership of the principal and deputy squad leaders, just waiting to complete the final process.
Another ballot was opened, and everyone saw the six names projected on the screen, and they all said "huh" at the same time.
This is the third ballot so far without Su Zelin's name.
What surprised everyone was the font of the ballot papers.
The pen is strong, into the wood three points, in the full of power, but the clouds and water, elegant and free.
The combination of the two styles is pleasing to the eye, and even if you don't know calligraphy, you can see that the level of this handwriting is extremely high.
This is Suzerin's ticket!
Everyone came to the same conclusion.
At the first class meeting, when I introduced myself, the bastard came to the stage and wrote his name on the blackboard with chalk, and the style was the same as the font of the ballot, which was too obvious.
Su Zelin not only did not write his name, but the candidate for the top position on this small colored paper was also unexpected.
Luo Xi!
The strongest competitor won his first vote!
β¦β¦
