Finally, it was Liu Yitong's turn to introduce himself.
He took a deep breath.
After tidying his hair, he stood up and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yitong. I'm from here. Firstly, I believe that our becoming classmates is destined by fate. After all, with so many people in the world, the probability of meeting someone is one in hundreds of thousands, and the probability of becoming classmates is even smaller."
"My hobbies are also very broad. No matter which sport you like, I seem to be able to dabble in it. So, I believe I can become good friends with everyone."
"Shi Bing's speech just now was excellent. I heard she wants to compete for class monitor. I'd like to get some votes here too. I promise that if I become class monitor, I will put everyone's interests first. Although I've never been a class monitor before, I believe I can handle this position. Thank you everyone!"
After Liu Yitong finished speaking, everyone started to applaud.
However, most of them were just polite claps, clearly not as enthusiastic as Shi Bing's.
Liu Yitong felt a little disheartened, thinking that his chances in the upcoming election didn't look good.
At this moment, the counselor Yu Qian smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I know everyone's eagerness to run for class cadres, but it's not time for that yet. So, please stop campaigning for now. You'll be introduced when the time comes."
A burst of laughter came from the audience.
Next, it was Jiang Baiqi's turn to introduce himself.
He stood up somewhat awkwardly and cleared his throat, saying, "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Baiqi. My hobby is playing chess. If anyone likes chess, you can find me for a match. I definitely won't disappoint you. I don't have much else to introduce. I hope we can all get along well in the days to come."
A smattering of applause followed.
It was Xie Jiban's turn to speak.
Xie Jiban cleared his throat and adjusted his collar. He had deliberately worn a suit today to appear more formal.
"I'll just say a few words," Xie Jiban said calmly.
"Haha..."
Laughter erupted.
With Xie Jiban's demeanor and tone, anyone who didn't know him might have thought he was a school leader, he put on quite a show.
Hearing the laughter from his classmates, Xie Jiban didn't shy away. He continued without any embarrassment, "I heard your laughter just now. You must think I'm a comedian, but I want to tell you that I'm not. I am a man with dreams."
"I have a dream, and that is world peace, and cosmic peace."
"Alright, alright, I've strayed a bit. Let's talk about what's in front of us. My name is Xie Jiban. I believe many of you are curious why I have this name, so I'll explain it briefly."
"Because my hometown is my lifelong bond. In the future, when I have a wife or a girlfriend, she will also be my lifelong bond. I am a deeply affectionate person, which can be seen from my name."
"Also, I am currently a high-quality single male. If any young lady fancies me, don't be shy. Add my QQ privately, and we can chat. I definitely won't disappoint you."
"Finally, I have many talents. If you want to know more, please contact me. My phone number is xxx."
"Thank you, I'm done."
Xie Jiban bowed gracefully.
Then he sat down.
The whole class burst into laughter.
Who would have thought this guy was so flamboyant?
Xie Jiban's performance had certainly livened up the atmosphere of the entire class.
"Hahaha, this guy is so funny. Judging by his accent, he must be from Guangxi."
"I love listening to this kind of Mandarin, it's so amusing."
"If Brother Jiban wasn't a bit rough around the edges, he'd probably have quite a few girlfriends, right?"
The surrounding chatter caused Xie Jiban's lips to curl slightly. He was proud of his impromptu speech.
See? This is me, Xie Jiban!
Finally, it was Wang Yue's turn to introduce himself.
Almost all the girls turned their heads to look at Wang Yue.
Wang Yue stood up, smiled, and said, "Hello everyone, I don't have many words to express my feelings right now. My name is Wang Yue, and I am an ordinary handsome guy."
Another burst of laughter ensued. This "ordinary handsome guy" had made people laugh.
"To be admitted to Peking University this time is also a dream come true for me. I'm also very happy to meet you all here. I believe this is also destiny."
"Because interesting souls will eventually meet."
After speaking, Wang Yue sat down.
The applause was continuous.
It was unclear whether it was for his good looks or his line, "Interesting souls will eventually meet."
After everyone had finished their self-introductions, Yu Qian stepped forward again.
She smiled and said, "Alright, after those self-introductions, I believe you all have a general understanding of your classmates. Today, I have something to announce to you all: military training will officially begin tomorrow. Therefore, we need to elect class cadres first."
"First, we will elect a class monitor. This is the most important position in the class."
"All students who wish to run for class monitor can come to the stage to give a speech. Finally, we will have a secret ballot, and the person with the most votes wins. Each person can only vote once."
After Yu Qian announced the rules, many people were eager and ready to step up.
The first person to go on stage would undoubtedly face pressure, but it was also an opportunity.
If they performed well, they would likely be recognized by their classmates, and the position of class monitor would be secured.
"I'll go first!"
Liu Yitong volunteered and walked up.
When Liu Yitong reached the podium, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I've already introduced myself, so I don't need to say my name again. Today, I'm here to run for class monitor."
"Before running for this position, I've thought about many things. The most important one is, what is the significance of being a class monitor?"
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally, I believe that the position of class monitor must be held by someone who can serve the students to be meaningful."
"This way, we can strengthen our class cohesion and make our class stand out in the entire school!"
"I'm actually a warm-hearted person, and I like to get involved in any unfair matters I encounter. So, if I become class monitor, if you encounter any difficulties, you can actively come to me. I will help if I can, and I will do my best to help if I can't."
"This is my promise to you all!"
"Please vote for me, thank you, my name is Liu Yitong."
Liu Yitong bowed and said.
"Clap clap clap."
This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic than before.
Shi Bing had originally intended to be the first to speak, but Liu Yitong beat her to it, so she wasn't in a hurry. If she couldn't be the first, being the last was fine too.
The second person was also a male student.
This student was named Tang Le.
Tang Le was a tall guy from the Northeast, over 180 cm, with a bowl cut that looked a bit funny.
Tang Le walked onto the stage and smiled, saying, "Hello everyone, I've already introduced myself. My name is Tang Le."
"I'm not very good at saying polite words. I'm a person who gets things done. I've always served as class monitor in junior high and high school, and I've helped teachers manage the class in an orderly manner."
"If I become class monitor, I will definitely cooperate with the teachers to manage the class well. I will also prioritize the interests of the students. I won't say much else, but if there's anything you need from your old Tang, I will definitely do it."
"Please vote for me, thank you."
Tang Le bowed and said.
"Tang Ge is awesome! We must vote for Tang Ge."
"I love you, Tang Ge."
"Don't worry, brothers will definitely vote for you."
Tang Le's roommates started to cheer him on.
Tang Le smiled and greeted everyone before leaving the stage.
After waiting for a long time, no one else came up.
Everyone's eyes turned to Shi Bing.
After all, she had said earlier that she wanted to run for class monitor. Why was there no movement now?
"Is no one else running?" Yu Qian asked again.
At this moment, Shi Bing stood up and smiled, "Teacher, I want to run."
Yu Qian smiled and nodded, "Then please welcome Shi Bing."
Shi Bing held her head high and walked onto the stage with her fair, long legs.
Her confident posture inspired many.
When Shi Bing reached the podium, she rested her hands on the desk and smiled, "Hello everyone, my name is Shi Bing."
"Today, I want to run for the position of class monitor. The students before me have already said a lot, so I won't repeat myself. If I become class monitor, I can do everything they've said, and even better."
"Also, I know that university life can be quite dull for everyone. I will regularly connect with students from other classes for joint activities with our class. I hope everyone can find a beautiful romance during their university years."
"My speech ends here. Thank you everyone."
After Shi Bing finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.
On one hand, it was due to her own aura, and on the other hand, Shi Bing's mention of joint activities had touched the hearts of many boys and girls.
After all, who wouldn't want a sweet romance during their university years?
Liu Yitong said with a wry smile, "It's over, it's over. It's hopeless. Why didn't I think of that? The enemy is too cunning."
"Forget it, second brother, you're not on the same level as our class monitor." Xie Jiban said, patting Liu Yitong on the shoulder.
"You're already calling her class monitor? You traitor!" Liu Yitong exclaimed.
"We have a traitor among us," Jiang Baiqi said with a smile.
After that, no one else came forward to run for class monitor. It was obvious to everyone that Shi Bing had this in the bag.
Tang Le's roommates were also whispering.
"Brother Tang, don't blame us for being disloyal, but Sister Shi Bing is too charming."
"I'm also going to switch sides. Shi Bing is exactly the type of dream lover!"
"Hahaha, you guys are so fickle. I'm going to vote for our Brother Tang."
Next was the vote counting.
"Shi Bing, one vote."
"Shi Bing, one vote."
"Shi Bing, one vote."
"Liu Yitong, one vote."
"Shi Bing, one vote."
"Shi Bing, one vote."
"Tang Le, one vote."
...
Most of the votes were for Shi Bing. At least 25 votes were cast for Shi Bing.
Among the remaining votes, Liu Yitong had more, and Tang Le had fewer.
"Alright, it seems everyone has chosen their preferred class monitor," Yu Qian said with a smile. "Congratulations to our Shi Bing for becoming class monitor!"
"Next, we will elect a vice-class monitor from the other two candidates. Since Liu Yitong received more votes, he will be the vice-class monitor. Do you two have any objections?" Yu Qian asked.
Tang Le immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have an objection!"
"Oh? Go ahead!" Yu Qian said with a smile.
"There were three people running for class monitor just now, so my votes were fewer. Now, if it were just between me and Liu Yitong for class monitor, my votes might not be less than his. Therefore, I request a re-vote." Tang Le said.
"Liu Yitong, what do you think?" Yu Qian asked again.
"I have no objections, teacher," Liu Yitong also said.
However, he glanced at Tang Le, thinking, this kid is really troublesome. Is he too eager for power? It's just a vice-class monitor.
Soon, it was time for the re-vote.
Wang Yue and others naturally cast their votes for Liu Yitong.
But Tang Le was not so compliant. He privately contacted various classmates, offering drinks, snacks, and even monetary incentives for their vote.
As a result, the scales of victory naturally tipped.
Finally, Tang Le won the vote by one vote.
"Okay, so Tang Le will be the vice-class monitor. Does anyone have any objections?" Yu Qian asked.
"No objections," the crowd responded sparsely.
Although Liu Yitong lost, he didn't take it too seriously. The vice-class monitor was essentially an assistant to the class monitor, and it wasn't particularly meaningful.
After Tang Le was elected, he stood up and smiled at everyone, saying, "Thank you for your love and support. I will definitely assist the class monitor in managing class affairs well."
Seeing his demeanor, Xie Jiban felt a bit displeased. "Doesn't he look a bit like a smug winner? He's smiling so annoyingly."
Jiang Baiqi said, "Really? He looks quite normal to me."
Liu Yitong shook his head and said, "It's fine. The winner is king, and the loser is a bandit. There's nothing more to say."
After the election for class monitor.
It was time to elect the Youth League branch secretary.
Yu Qian said again, "Next, we will elect the Youth League branch secretary. Who wants to run?"
The position of Youth League branch secretary also carried significant power.
Upon hearing Yu Qian's words, several people immediately stepped forward to run. Two girls and two boys.
After the four candidates gave their speeches, another vote was held.
Liu Yitong's girlfriend, Liu Yueyue, also participated in the competition.
So, Wang Yue and others naturally cast their votes for Liu Yueyue.
As expected, Liu Yueyue received the most votes and successfully became the Youth League branch secretary.
This way, with the class monitor and the Youth League branch secretary coming from the same dormitory, it would become the most powerful dormitory.
