Chapter Thirty-Four: Class Meeting

  Ding Rong placed the volume on the podium, picked up a piece of chalk and elegantly wrote her name on the blackboard.

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng exchanged a glance, both thinking that Teacher Ding had a good temperament. The two of them sighed in unison: "Beautiful teacher."

  The people in the class burst out laughing, and the tense atmosphere in the classroom suddenly relaxed.

  Ding Rong gazed at the two of them with a smile, ignoring their words of praise. She looked out at the twenty-four students below the podium, playfully blowing air, patting the chalk dust off her hands, and placing her white hands on the podium to introduce herself.

  She graduated from the Design Department of Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts, and after graduation, she took the postgraduate entrance examination. The Agricultural University Art College was established this year, and Professor Gao Jianhua, Vice Chairman of the Tianjing Municipal Art Association, was appointed as the Dean of the Art College.

  Gao Jianhua is Ding Rong's graduate mentor, after becoming the dean of Tianjing Agricultural University, he sent an invitation to her to come to the Nongda Art Academy as a class teacher, making great contributions.

  "Teacher Ding, are there many willow trees in the Tianjing Art Institute?" Xiao Xiao asked without raising her hand.

  "Got it!" Ting Rong wasn't startled by Xiao Xiao's sudden interruption, she was a carefree person who didn't bother with formalities like raising her hand.

  "I heard that under the wutong tree is especially romantic, right?" Xiao Xiao was now somewhat skeptical, wondering if all the girls from Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts were as artistic as Ding Rong.

  That would be absolutely stunning.

  Classmates in the class looked at him with confusion, thinking what kind of question was he asking? What nonsense?

  Ding Rong heard Xiao Xiao's words, and she seemed to return to the campus of Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts, back to her student days. At that time, it was indeed a romantic era. Unfortunately, that romantic era was too short.

  Her eyes, hidden behind her glasses, focused for a moment before returning to the classroom. She controlled her emotions and smiled calmly at Xiao Xiao: "Is it romantic or not? You can see for yourself."

  "Haha!"

  The whole class burst into suppressed laughter.

  He ruffled his own messy hair, imagining what the Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts would be like. He hadn't even seen any photos. It wasn't that he didn't have the chance, it was just that he didn't want to look.

  Ding Rong no longer paid attention to Xiao Xiao, she stood beside the podium, holding one corner of it, standing in an S shape, letting everyone take turns introducing themselves. In fact, she had already understood the students in the class through their files. She let everyone introduce themselves, which was nothing more than increasing her impression of the students and allowing them to get to know each other.

  Twenty-four students started taking turns introducing themselves, with Fang Kun starting first, basically all saying their own names and places of origin.

  Lu Teng was most concerned about the girl who had given herself a slap on the rooftop that day. He was eager to know her name.

  But the more I want to know, the more twists and turns it takes.

  Lu Peng stared at the girl, getting impatient, until he saw her stand up.

  The girl tidied up her clothes, stood up and said calmly: "My name is Su Chen, from northern Guangdong." After that, she sat down and didn't say anything else.

  Lu Peng finally knew the girl's name, he thought, this process was really difficult. Good things come to those who wait.

  Su Chen's deskmate, a girl wearing purple clothes, stood up and introduced herself as He Yan, from Guinan.

  Xiao Xiao didn't care about introducing himself to people around him. What he was most concerned about now was the little fatty not far away.

  He has already hit it off with Xiao Pangniu, and the two of them would occasionally exchange a glance, their eyes conveying emotional communication. He felt that Xiao Pangniu did not seem to dislike him.

  Naturally, he was even less disgusted with Little Fatty.

  Lu Peng knew Su Chen's name and was delighted. He turned his head to see Xiao Xiao and a fat girl interacting there, scolding him in a low voice for having a heavy taste.

  Xiao Xiao immediately gave him a punch in the crotch and scolded him, "Do you know anything?" Women only become enjoyable after being developed, ***, raised, and finally become addicted.

  Xiao Pangniu was secretly taking a bite of the cookie, when she suddenly realized it was her turn to introduce herself. Holding onto the cookie, she stood up and said with a mouthful of sugar: "My name is Lin Yi, I'm from Wu Yue."

  "Ah yo. I'm screwed."

  Xiao Xiao suddenly let out a cry of surprise, as if she had been startled, and her voice shook the entire room.

  Everyone stared at him, wondering what was wrong with him. Had his mother gone crazy? He had been causing trouble in class again and again.

  Xiao Xiao just heard Lin Yi's voice, and it was as sweet as honey, soft and gentle, sweet and smooth. She had never heard such a pleasant sound before, and she couldn't help but like it in her heart. Suddenly excited, her heartbeat accelerated, and she almost died from lack of blood supply.

  Ding Rong listened to the introduction of the 24 people, and looked around at the students in the class. She also thought back to her own student days, to be honest, she didn't have much research on teaching herself. Her teacher's certificate was also obtained through examination. She could only manage her class according to her own life as a student.

  She said to her students with deep feeling: "From today on, we are a class collective and will live together for a period of time. Since we are a class collective, we must clearly arrange the work within the class, let's elect a class leader. As the parent of the class." Her tone was as if coaxing children. She is six or seven years older than the students on stage, at an age to be their elder sister.

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Xiao heard about the class election for monitor, this is simply a direct return to elementary school era.

  "I propose Fang Kun as the class monitor." Ding Rong didn't wait for everyone to express their opinions, and said that after receiving the admission notice, Fang Kun came to Tianjing City and Art College to make contact. In these days, he has become familiar with the principal and teachers. He now understands the class and major, and it is suitable for him to be the class monitor.

  It wasn't until now that Xiao Xiao understood why Fang Kun had sent out notices to each dormitory. It seemed he had already deeply taken root in the Art Academy. This kind of person, a seedling for staying on campus after graduation. And what's with the election? The position of class monitor was simply predetermined, fortunately, she didn't want to be a class cadre. Otherwise, it would have been infuriating to watch him take the predetermined position.

  "Who will be the deputy class leader? Take the initiative yourself." Ding Rong looked at the students in the class with big eyes, hoping that someone would stand up and take on the responsibility bravely.

  Everyone in the class looked at each other, apparently no one wanted to do this thing.

  Me!

  Liu Yu stood up without hesitation.

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng exchanged a glance, both guessing that he was the one who loved to show off. Although they had only stayed with him for one night, they could already feel his "sense of progress".

  Liu Yu stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at his classmates with deep affection in his eyes. His iron mouth was like the Three Gorges Dam bursting its banks, pouring out words that were endless, continuous, and passionate, as he recounted how he had been either a class cadre or a class representative during his elementary, junior high, and senior high school years. He had organized all sorts of activities, big and small, to bring glory and splendor to the class. As a member of the student council, he had accumulated rich experience in management and possessed leadership abilities that others did not have.

  He said with great pleasure, constantly waving his hand to enhance the shock of his words.

  Listening to his words, I thought to myself, what kind of damn leadership ability does he have that others don't, who would even compete with him?

  The people in the class listened to Liu Yu's words, thinking he was telling a joke, and burst out laughing from time to time. Naturally, no one competed with him for the position of vice class leader, and Liu Yu became the vice class leader smoothly.

  Ding Rong cast a approving glance at Liu Yu, but seeing everyone's lack of enthusiasm for the election, she helplessly said: "He Yan, you were also a class president in high school, why don't you be another class president."

  He Yan was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly heard the sentence, looked up, and raised an eyebrow in confusion. She didn't expect Ding Rong to have thoroughly researched her file. She glanced at Su Chen beside her and thought that even if it meant facing their class teacher, she couldn't decline, so she agreed.

  Ding Rong saw that another class cadre had been dealt with and looked down at the stage, his tone firm: "You two."

  Almost everyone in the class was sitting at tables of two, and when they heard Ding Rong's words, they didn't know which two people she was referring to or which table.

  "Don't look anymore, it's just the two of you, Huang Mao and Hong Mao." As soon as Ding Rong said this, she was undoubtedly referring to Xiao Xiao and Lu Ting. "Xiao Xiao will be the life committee member, and Lu Ting will be the art committee member." She found an official position for the two of them. She had already reviewed their files and thought they were suitable for these positions.

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng suddenly stiffened, they thought this was Teacher Ding's revenge for the two people just praising her beauty. Although the two people did not like being officials, when the class teacher put the order in front of them, the two people could only accept it.

  Xiao Xiao gazed at Lu Feng and said calmly: "Literary Committee, find two people to perform a steel pipe dance for us, let's have some art."

  Lu Peng smiled and said: "Life Commissioner, help us solve this problem."

  Two people whispered to each other, looked at each other and found it amusing.

  The leadership team of the Design Department, Class 2, Art College, Tianjing Agricultural University has been successfully elected. Fang Kun is the class leader, Liu Yu and He Yan are both deputy class leaders, Xiao Xiao is the life committee member, and Lu Ting is the literature and art committee member.

  Ding Rong saw the class cadres elected, solved a heart affair, and let out a long sigh. He took out a stack of forms from the file. He said this is the physical examination form, ask everyone to fill in the basic situation. Tomorrow do not eat breakfast, take the form to the school hospital for physical examination, after the physical examination, hand over the physical examination form to me.

  Everyone passes one sheet of the table to each other's hands.

  Ding Rong saw that the forms had all been distributed to the students, she glanced at her watch: "That's it for today." She said, and hastily walked out of the door, looking like there was something urgent.

  Ding Rong walked away, and everyone took their physical examination forms and dispersed in a hurry.

  Lu Peng sat stupidly in his seat, staring at Su Chen and He Yan who were about to leave the classroom, wondering where the two of them could go.

  Xiao Xiao waved goodbye to Little Fatty Lin Yi.

  Who knew, Lin Yi gave him a smile, sweet to the extreme. She smiled and threw the half biscuit in her hand at Xiao Xiao, using the half biscuit to hit him.

  The magpie stretched its neck, picked up the half biscuit with its beak, and rolled it into its mouth with its long tongue, eating it sweetly.

  Lin Yi squeezed her left eye and walked away with a pouty face.

  Wang Yong whispered in Lin Yi's ear, his small round eyes circling twice, and said softly: "Teacher Ding is really beautiful, I really wish for a day when I can cohabitate with the beautiful teacher." His expression was...

  "Who doesn't fantasize?"

  Xiao Xiao, Lu Teng and Li Wei, these three lazy guys all answered at the same time while lying on the table.

  Fang Kun heard Wang Yong say this, and coldly snorted, saying: "Don't think about beautiful things anymore. Teacher Ding is already married." He said to this point, suddenly paused for a moment, slightly worried, his speech slowing down, "She may be getting married again soon."

  Xiao Xiao put her big feet on the table, posing in a very comfortable posture, looking at Fang Kun with confusion, "Second marriage? Is Teacher Ding getting divorced?"

  He thought that someone as excellent as Teacher Ding could only have initiated a divorce with her husband. It wouldn't be the other way around, with her husband initiating it.

  There was a strand of hair stuck to Fang Kun's face, he tidied up his remaining hair and continued: "Her husband and she both graduated from the Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts. The two got married as soon as they graduated. Both took the postgraduate entrance exam together. This year, they were supposed to graduate and look for jobs at the same time, but unexpectedly her husband died of leukemia this spring."

  "My god."

  Everyone who heard about Teacher Ding's experience couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and sympathy for her bitter fate.

  Xiao Xiao heard that Teacher Ding and her husband were both from the Tianjing Academy of Fine Arts, so they must have fallen in love within the school. Since it was a romance, there must have been many romantic moments.

  No wonder, when I asked her about things in school, she immediately became worried and unwilling to answer me, certainly not wanting to recall the beautiful moments on campus.

  Everyone knows that the more they recall those irretrievable beautiful moments, the more painful it is.

  Damn it, why am I so stupid?

  Xiao Xiao patted his belly as a punishment for his own mistake. He then asked Teacher Ding who he was going to marry this time? He wasn't really interested in gossip, but rather thought that although Teacher Ding had divorced, he remained excellent, and wondered who could be worthy of such an excellent person?

  Fang Kun took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "I heard that the chairman of Yongheng Group, Gao Jin, is pursuing her, and he's being quite aggressive about it. But it seems like Teacher Ding hasn't agreed yet."

  "Eternal Group?"

  Xiao Xiao and Lu Teng had never heard of this name.

  Wang Yong took out cigarettes and handed them around, lit one up and took a drag. He said that the Yongheng Group was a large conglomerate in Tianjing City, with subsidiaries in real estate, tourism, food and beverage, and more.

  Everyone thinks that having a real estate company is already impressive enough, and it's likely that Qian will have more than enough money to spend in the second half of his life. But unexpectedly, there are still so many small subsidiary companies, and Gao Jun's net worth must be substantial.

  "The chairman is paired with a beautiful woman, and they're both rich and good-looking. We can also have a wealthy master, haha." Lu Feng was delighted for Teacher Ding Rong.

  "Yes, yes."

  Everyone thinks that Teacher Ding having such a haven is also a case of "bitterness ends in sweetness", and the second half of his life will be happy.

  "Gao Jin is fifty-three years old this year, two years older than Teacher Ding's father. And I heard," Fang Kun said with a cigarette in his mouth, "his reputation is not good."
