Chapter 37 Far ahead
If Fang Wei's speech brought about an example, then Xu Cailing's speech brought about courage.
After Xu Cailing, the heated election atmosphere in the class was finally fully released, and one after another students began to go on stage to run for the positions they wanted to hold.
Wen Susu's pretty face was about to bloom with smiles. This was exactly the atmosphere and effect she wanted!
How you speak is not important, and whether you get selected is another matter. The key is to have the courage to fight for it, seize the opportunity, and challenge yourself!
This is what she most wants to teach these boys and girls in this class meeting!
As time went by, all the students who wanted to go on stage had gone up. Except for Fang Wei's name under the position of class monitor on the blackboard, there were two or three names under other positions. Among them, there were two boys' names under Xu Cailing's name. They were her competitors.
"Okay, now it's time to vote."
"Everyone, take out a piece of white paper and vote for the most suitable candidate for each position in your mind!"
As soon as Wen Susu finished speaking, everyone took out a piece of white paper and started voting.
Fang Wei also opened the pen cap and began to write.
The position of class monitor was chosen by Wen Susu, and he was the only candidate, so there was no need to vote...
The remaining positions include study committee member, life committee member, discipline committee member and class representatives.
Below each position on the blackboard, there are candidates' signed names. Just choose one of them to vote.
First, Fang Wei signed Xu Cailing's name under the position of [Sports Commissioner].
If I remember correctly, the sports committee member of the class should be Lu Jialiang, right? He is actually quite suitable to be the sports committee member. As the tallest boy in the class, he is remarkable in both personality and sports. This time, he also participated in the election of sports committee member. It's a pity that Xu Cailing also took action this time, so... Sorry! Jialiang!
No matter what, he had to vote for Cai Ling, and her performance was really great.
After Fang Wei voted for the position of sports commissioner, the voting for other positions became more objective, depending mainly on the performance of the candidates.
Candidates for study committee members: Wang Yushan, Qiu Caiyun, Guo Shunyuan
Fang Wei voted for Wang Yushan.
Wang Yushan is Asheng's new deskmate. She is a girl with strong goal-oriented personality, who is precise and meticulous in her words and deeds.
Fang Wei didn't vote for her because of Ah Sheng's relationship. Firstly, it was because Wang Yushan's performance was very good, and secondly... it was because he took her position as class monitor.
Originally, Wang Yushan should have been the top student in the class, but this time Fang Wei scored full marks in all subjects, becoming the top student in the grade. He also participated in the election for class monitor and performed very well. I don’t know if it was because he performed too well, but Wang Yushan did not participate in the election for class monitor this time, but instead chose to take a back seat and participated in the election for student committee member.
Because the position of class leader can be held repeatedly, Wang Yushan ran for the Chinese class representative in addition to the student committee member election. Fang Wei thought about it and wrote her name on the Chinese class representative list as well.
Then the discipline committee member voted for Jiang Yuanxin, and the life committee member voted for Du Peipei... followed by a vote by class representatives.
To be honest, there are many different types of class leaders, and their titles are quite impressive, but at least at the junior high school stage, the only ones who can be used are the class monitor, class representatives, and group leaders who are responsible for collecting homework every day. The main purpose is to give outstanding students a title to stimulate competition and learning motivation among each other.
Soon, Fang Wei wrote down the votes for all the class leader candidates he liked on a piece of paper.
Turning around to look at Liu Zhiyi beside me, she had also finished writing.
"Can we exchange it and see what you wrote?" Fang Wei invited.
"Yeah." Liu Zhiyi nodded lightly, then handed the paper in her hand to him and took his paper.
Compared to Xu Cailing's careless and unrestrained handwriting, Liu Zhiyi's handwriting is so small and beautiful. Nowadays, many girls like to use a ruler against the notebook when writing, so that the handwriting is very neat and uniform. Liu Zhiyi did not use a ruler, but still wrote very neatly and beautifully, stroke by stroke, like a lovely printed font.
As soon as he saw her voting paper for the first time, Fang Wei was stunned and said with a smile: "The monitor doesn't need our vote, but you still wrote me on it."
The first line on the paper clearly reads [Class Monitor] - Fang Wei
"Ah? I don't know. I'll cross it out then."
"It's okay. It's not a test. Just write it."
"Ah."
Fang Wei continued reading and was a little surprised. The votes from Liu Zhiyi's other class leaders were exactly the same as the one he filled out. If she hadn't written an extra vote for class monitor, he would have almost thought she had copied his.
……
On the podium, Wen Susu looked at everyone who was discussing and voting with a smile.
Seeing that the progress was almost ready, she clapped her hands and asked everyone to start with the last student and pass all the voting papers from the back to the podium.
Soon, a small stack of papers of different colors and sizes appeared on the podium in front of her. This was the key mass vote that would determine who would win in the end among the candidates participating in the election today.
Before the results were counted, the candidates were a little restless, while the idle spectators looked relaxed and expectant.
"Fang Wei, come up and help me count the votes." Wen Susu looked over and called softly.
"Okay." Fang Wei stood up and walked to the podium. Before he took the paper from Wen Susu, Wen Susu announced to everyone:
"There is only one candidate for class monitor, Fang Wei. The teacher is very satisfied with his performance. I believe everyone has seen Fang Wei's performance. So the position of class monitor will be determined first. Fang Wei will take the position. Let's give him a round of applause to encourage him!"
"Clap clap-"
The students in the audience applauded.
Fang Wei's expression was still calm. He noticed that Xu Cailing and Ah Sheng in the audience were even more excited than him. People who didn't know would think that they were the class leaders...
“Thank you for your support.”
Fang Wei didn't just stand there stupidly, he simply expressed his gratitude.
"Fang Wei, you will help me count the votes in a moment. For each student whose vote is counted, you will write one stroke of the Chinese character '正' after his name."
"clear."
After saying that, Wen Susu gave him half of the voting results in her hand, and the teacher and student counted the votes together.
Fang Wei held the voting result in his left hand and the red chalk in his right hand. He first looked at the first voting paper, then drew a horizontal line for Wang Yushan on the position of student committee member, and drew a horizontal line for Jiang Yuanxin on the position of discipline committee member...
Xu Cailing stared at Fang Wei's back and movements nervously. When she saw that he finally wrote about the sports committee member, the girl's eyes widened unconsciously and she stared at him intently.
[Xu Cailing]:—;
After finishing the vote on the first piece of paper, Fang Wei looked at the second one and continued counting:
[Xu Cailing]: T;
Then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...
[Xu Cailing]: Yes,—
The girl's expression changed from nervous to calm, and then gradually became excited!!
She just looked at her childhood sweetheart, holding the statistical results in her hand, and kept writing every stroke of the word "正" behind her name!
So much so that among the three candidates for the position of sports committee member, the "Zheng" character after [Xu Cailing]'s name was much longer, far ahead! The other two candidates even took a long time to barely put together a "Zheng" character, but now, she has received five "Zheng" characters!
The nervousness and lack of confidence that she had felt before going on stage had long since disappeared. Xu Cailing was filled with excitement and pinched her thigh hard...
Hey, why doesn’t it hurt?
"Ah... Cailing, why are you pinching me?" The voice of my deskmate Du Peipei was heard nearby.
"Sorry, Pepe! I pinched the wrong person!" Xu Cailing apologized quickly.
"It's okay, just pinch me." Capibara Du remained calm.
……
Finally, the voting results of all the students were counted.
Fang Wei put down the chalk, clapped his hands and returned to his seat.
He looked at Xu Cailing in the first group.
Xu Cailing was also looking at him at this moment, her expression was so excited! It was as if the "正" characters behind her name were not voted for, but written by him as a gift for her!
Fang Wei could say with a clear conscience that he really did not show favoritism in any stroke of the pen. All the votes counted for Xu Cailing were written by him in accordance with everyone's voting results.
Now look at the number of votes for Xu Cailing on the blackboard: there are exactly six "positive" characters plus one "T", which means thirty-two votes!
Her two competitors, Lu Jialiang and Chen Wen, each had only one "positive" character.
In terms of visual effect, Cailing's character "正" is much longer, and it seems to be about to poke out of the blackboard.
Xu Cailing also received the most votes among all the class leaders! Thirty-two votes! There were only forty-two people in the class, which meant that, apart from the two competitors' close associates, almost all the students voted for Xu Cailing as the sports committee member.
The position of sports commissioner is almost uncontroversial.
The competition for other positions was quite fierce, and some candidates even had the same number of votes. At this time, the most crucial vote was that of Wen Susu.
Some were happy and some were sad, and this lively class leader election activity came to an end.
"Class monitor: Fang Wei; study committee member: Wang Yushan; life committee member: Du Peipei... sports committee member: Xu Cailing!"
"Applause to our new class leaders!"
Warm applause broke out——
The school bell rang.
"Dang——! Dang——! Dang——!"
The birds perched on the branches were startled and flew away into the brilliant sunset sky with flapping wings.
