A single teasing remark from Lin Feng left Ning Aoxue’s face flushed with imnse embarrassnt.
"You... you really don’t know? Weren’t all the details made clear during the eting announcent?" Ning Aoxue, certainly not one to be disloyal, had seen Lin Feng’s casual attitude and assud he had no real interest in competing for the student council’s vice-president position. Little did she know that Lin Feng hadn’t received the complete eting notice!
"When Li Zhi, that fellow, inford about the eting, he didn’t make things clear..." Lin Feng smirked, realizing where the problem lay. Class monitor Li Zhi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, hadn’t told him the purpose of the evening eting. It seed this class monitor wasn’t as simple-minded as his appearance suggested!
"So... you also want to participate in the election?" Ning Aoxue rembered Su Zi had said that if Lin Feng participated, Su Zi felt he could succeed. Asking this, her mood couldn’t help but be a little complex.
Lin Feng’s lips twitched slightly, a half-smile playing on his face. "If there’s a chance to get on stage, one should always give it a try!"
"Then what will you do now? The eting is about to start, and even if you wanted to write a speech now, it’s too late! How can you go on stage without a script? Speaking for five minutes without prior preparation is quite difficult!" Su Zi asked, her expression tinged with worry, her tone anxious.
"I’ll cross that bridge when I co to it..." Lin Feng felt a little guilty under Su Zi’s concerned gaze and replied casually, picking up his phone to start searching for sample speeches online.
Seeing Lin Feng’s evasive expression, Su Zi felt a little uncomfortable. I, a young woman, am not even shy; what are you, a grown man, dodging for... Are you really afraid I’ll eat you?
"Why not, Lin Feng, take a look at my speech?" Ning Aoxue, her face slightly red, placed her handwritten speech in front of Lin Feng. Miss Ning looked directly at him, pursed her lips, and said lightly, "My speech isn’t particularly well-written, but the structure is there at least. Take a look; it might help you organize your thoughts."
"Thanks!" Seeing how actively and willingly Miss Ning was helping, Lin Feng decided to stop looking for a sample.
"There isn’t much ti. Hurry and see how much you can read!" Ning Aoxue secretly broke into a cold sweat for Lin Feng. The event was about to start, and only now was he making a last-ditch effort. It probably wouldn’t do much good. It looked like Lin Feng was really going to make a fool of himself this ti!
Taking the two pages Ning Aoxue handed him, Lin Feng flipped through them very casually, scanned them briefly, and in less than a minute, placed the speech back in front of Ning Aoxue. He then closed his eyes to ntally prepare...
"You—you’re not looking at it anymore?" Ning Aoxue felt a bit aggrieved. Just monts ago, she was worried Lin Feng wouldn’t have enough ti to read the speech, and this fellow returned it to her in less than a minute. Does he find my writing too poor, or my handwriting too ugly?
"Oh... thanks for your help, I’ve finished reading it..." Lin Feng then realized that he had been so focused on organizing his thoughts that he had forgotten to thank Ning Aoxue.
"Finished reading?" Ning Aoxue was stunned. She couldn’t quite understand what Lin Feng ant by "finished reading." Did he just glance through it and find it unsatisfactory, or had he actually morized it? Of course, Ning Aoxue didn’t believe Lin Feng could morize a script of over a thousand words in just one minute...
"Yes..." Lin Feng showed a strange expression, looking at Ning Aoxue. "I say, Miss Ning, you also know there isn’t much ti, and I still need to plan my speech... Can we talk later if there’s anything?"
"You..." Ning Aoxue was left sowhat speechless. Lin Feng’s reasonable reply left her with no retort. She could only suppress her expression, swallow the words she wanted to say, and stare fixedly at Lin Feng with sowhat angry eyes. I’d like to see what kind of speech you can co up with...
Ning Aoxue was convinced Lin Feng looked down on her draft. To think he’d arrogantly claim to be brainstorming now! Is he that confident that a speech he improvises will be better than mine? This is too much! He’s so condescending!
Lin Feng, unaware that Ning Aoxue had misunderstood him, still wore a smug expression as he said, "The student surpasses the master, as they say! Of course, my revised version will be better than yours..."
Although Lin Feng’s words were a bit arrogant, his aning was clear: the speech he revised was actually based on Ning Aoxue’s original draft...
Unfortunately, Ning Aoxue didn’t understand Lin Feng’s words. She thought Lin Feng was using the idiom "the student surpasses the master" inappropriately, believing he ant that a speech he ca up with on the spot would be better than hers... She imdiately felt a bit displeased. Miss Ning pouted and said no more.
Su Zi, however, quite enjoyed seeing Lin Feng’s spirited and boastful deanor. She felt that Lin Feng at this mont had a particular masculine charm and looked very captivating!
Seeing Ning Aoxue quiet down, Lin Feng could only continue to ntally draft his speech. He took the words and phrases Ning Aoxue had used, slightly adjusted their positions, made so deletions, expansions, and revisions, and replaced so terms with more precise expressions. Finally, he had prepared a ntal draft.
And at that mont, the clock’s hands pointed to seven, and the eting officially began.
Several people were seated at the main table: Chen Chuanfeng, Dean of the School of Managent; several other departnt leaders; Li Liping, President of the Student Union; and Chen Xiaoru, head of the Secretariat, among others.
The first to speak was Dean Chen Chuanfeng.
The eting began with the first agenda item. Chen Chuanfeng inford all the cadres of the School of Managent Student Union about the school’s notice to hold a sports et in mid to late November. He asked the student union cadres from each class to work with class cadres to mobilize students to actively sign up for the sports et. He specifically pointed out that the cadres of the Sports Departnt, headed by Lin Feng, should play a leading role...
Those student union cadres who knew Lin Feng was the head of the Sports Departnt almost simultaneously glanced at him. This Lin Feng seems to have quite a background! Li Liping sought him out for a talk before the eting, Li Jing, the head of the Academic Departnt, ’confessed’ to him before the eting, and now Chen Chuanfeng has specifically nad the Sports Departnt. It seems all the major figures think highly of Lin Feng! Could the vice-president position already be internally decided? they mused.
As cadres of the student union, apart from the few rivals competing with Lin Feng for the vice-president position, the others weren’t particularly averse to such "internal decisions"! On the contrary, they were thinking, If we cooperate with the departnt leaders’ move to internally appoint Lin Feng, will we be valued by the leadership...?
Thus, joining the student union in school is the first step towards navigating the establishnt when one enters society. The gas played in this venue were quite universal.
Of course, capable and ambitious students like Li Jing would not yield so easily. They were determined to compete with Lin Feng no matter what.
After Chen Chuanfeng finished speaking and distributed the docunts regarding the preparations for the sports et, he sat to one side and said no more. What followed was an internal matter for the student union; as a departnt leader, he would only listen and supervise.
Chen Xiaoru, head of the Secretariat, spoke on behalf of the student union presidium. She explained that the vice-president position was vacant due to Liu Yunfeng’s departure, encouraged capable and qualified students to actively run for the position, and announced the rules.
Just as Chen Xiaoru finished announcing the rules and declared the start of the election, a male student imdiately walked onto the podium with a smile...
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. He recognized this first male student to take the podium. It was Zhang Kuan, the head of the Organization Departnt, who had recently conspired with Qian Duoduo and Liu Yunfeng to set him up.
