Chapter 37 Class Two Monitor

  "Mei Xiang finally stopped after reading the names of the top twenty students, '...the class cadres, academic committee members, and group leaders of Class 1 will all be selected from among the top twenty students. This morning we won't have classes, we're going to elect our class cadres..."

  The students below started discussing, and Mei Xiang looked up at Tang Sheng, with various impressions of him floating in her mind. He had a natural leadership aura about him, and the words he spoke to Ning Xin that day at 'Jiangling Ren' seemed to be meant for Ning Quan's ears as well. She was surprised by his insight into the current domestic situation and urban economic development, considering he was only seventeen years old. It took a lot of accumulation to have such views and opinions. He was really hard to see through.

  At this time, Mei Fu thought that Tang Sheng was also one of the class cadres, and it shouldn't be too bad, right?

  Everyone was talking and discussing, classmates were whispering to each other, expressing their own views.

  Suddenly, Mei Hua fixed her wandering gaze on Tang Sheng's face, and the classmates also quieted down, not knowing what Teacher Mei was going to do.

  "Tang Sheng, come up to the stage for a moment!"

  "Huh? Me?"

  Tang Sheng pointed at his own nose with his finger, and Mei Xiaoken nodded affirmatively. All the students were surprised and guessing what it meant.

  "Ah, yes, it's you. I remember the first day you transferred here and reported to school, your demeanor on stage impressed many students. Today, I want to entrust you with the task of selecting class cadres. How do you plan to select them? From which aspects will you choose? And how will you implement it? You're in charge."

  Mei Yan said this, Wang Zhaoyun, Yuan Feiyang, Zhou Yongxu and several others took the lead in applauding, well, let this kid make a fool of himself.

  Tang Jin turned her head to look at Tang Sheng, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes. This subtle, unhidden expression was fully captured by Ning Meng opposite her, who glanced at her and then at Tang Sheng, thinking: Have they really done it?

  Guanshengyin sat next to Tang Jin, and she was also very concerned about this top student in the whole grade. Previously, she hadn't noticed why Tang Jin had been fluctuating over something, but today she discovered that Tang Jin was actually paying attention to a guy named Tang Sheng, which piqued her curiosity. Speaking of Guanshengyin, she was also an extremely proud girl from a very good family background, and in her eyes, even Ning Meng might not be able to make her feel inferior.

  In terms of appearance and temperament, Guan Shi Yin is very close to Tang Jin. She is even more cold and proud than Tang Jin. Tang Jin has a gentle personality, always smiling at any student, and many times she doesn't speak, but her one smile is worth a thousand words.

  Guanshiyin is different, you rarely see her smile, she has always been calm and composed, as if looking at the world with a detached air.

  Ning Meng was that kind of dazzling brightness, radiant and resplendent, making you want to shy away from her brilliance but unable to do so.

  Pan Zi Xia, she should be more bright and cheerful, as if she can get along with anyone, a bit careless but not losing her pure and elegant spirit. Plus, she is extremely beautiful, especially when she smiles, it's even more charming. Her score shouldn't be low, she's somewhat close to Ning Meng's personality type.

  At this moment, Pan Zixia discovered a strange phenomenon. The two school flowers of Class 1, Ning Meng and Tang Jin, were both paying attention to Tang Sheng. Even Mei Cai, the teacher who made these young girls feel inferior, seemed to hold this student named Tang Sheng in high regard.

  Everyone's subtle mood and expression changes, Wang Zaojun is also observing, the conclusion he draws is that the 'Er Tang Lian' that has been circulating for two days refers to Tang Sheng and Tang Jin, right? After his own observation, Tang Jin doesn't care about anyone else, but only pays attention to this Tang Sheng.

  Tang Jin didn't know that she had inadvertently revealed her secret. In fact, walking home from school with Tang Sheng every day would inevitably lead to gossip.

  Whoever wants to say it, go ahead and say it. At home, Dad and Mom won't say anything about themselves either. So Tang Jin didn't feel too much pressure in her heart. She simply believed in the promise that Tang Sheng had given her, she was willing to believe everything he said, and in her heart, she did not deny that she might have fallen in love early.

  Tang Sheng strode up to the stage with a confident air, not showing any nervousness under the gaze of over 60 students. In his eyes, they were just a bunch of 'young whippersnappers'. If he could chat freely with the mayor of Ning District, why would he be intimidated by these students?

  Mei suddenly moved a stool to the front of the first row of desks and sat down in front of that girl's desk, ignoring her.

  At this time, many students were guessing that it was Teacher Mei's trick to make Tang Sheng lose face, but Tang Jin wouldn't think so. She knew that Mei wasn't that kind of person and she must have had her reasons for doing this. She also looked forward to Tang Sheng's performance, he would definitely be fine.

  Ning Meng was a bit nervous, it was for Tang Sheng's nervousness, would he be okay? Was Teacher Mei really going to let him lose face? Was she angry that he didn't come to the exam on Monday?

  Tang Sheng, who had gone up to the platform, took out a red chalk from the chalk box and, without saying a word, turned around and wrote several names on the blackboard: Tang Jin, Wang Zuo-jun, Yuan Fei-yang, Ning Meng, Guan Shi-yin. The five names were lined up horizontally with some space in between.

  The dragon and phoenix-like bold handwriting immediately conquered all the students below, this cow's penmanship is really unknown how to practice?

  When Tang Sheng turned around again, the room had fallen silent. Pairs of eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his words. Some expected him to shine, while others expected him to make a fool of himself. Everyone's attitude was different, but they all shared one thing in common: at this moment, they were all watching to see how he would perform next.

  Including Mei Yu, who also thinks so, she wants to see if Tang Sheng is really that excellent or if someone taught him. This kind of on-the-spot performance can best reveal a person's true ability, whether it's a dragon or an insect, one try will show it, do I let you pretend?

  Tang Sheng took a deep breath, just like last time, his upper body slightly inclined, with both hands resting on the edge of the podium, just like a teacher. At this moment, his facial expression was also very serious. Amidst everyone's anticipation, our "Sheng Ge" began his speech.

  "First of all, I would like to thank Teacher Mei for her trust and support. As this is my first time hosting such a 'large-scale' cadre election activity, I am a little nervous in my heart. If there are any imperfections, please point them out in time... Now, let's get back to the topic at hand. The five names on the blackboard are the top five students from our internal assessment. Our class monitor will be selected from among these five students. Additionally, I want to say a few words: being a class monitor doesn't necessarily require having the best academic performance; class life is not just about studying. A class monitor needs to take care of all sorts of trivial matters and can handle various tasks, such as organizing activities, assisting teachers with arranging teaching tasks, and helping other students in their daily lives. Comprehensive quality is an important aspect of selecting a class monitor. I hope everyone will carefully consider their vote. Teacher Mei, do you have anything to add?"

  The last sentence was asked by Tang Sheng to Mei Yu, who was listening with great interest, and when he asked her this, she was slightly taken aback.

  "Hmm... No, you're absolutely right, great!"

  The students below were also stunned by Tang Sheng's eloquent performance, and some people even felt jealous, especially Wang and Yuan.

  "...Since Teacher Mei won't add anything, I can only assume that I have fully carried out Teacher Mei's will and made a very successful start...Now everyone please tear off a small piece of paper about two fingers wide, write down the name of the class monitor you approve of, the last student in each row is responsible for collecting the papers and reading them to me, I'll count the votes by counting the strokes of the character 'zheng'..."

  The classmates made a stir, and another discussion appeared. A few minutes later, all the slips of paper were collected, and eight students read out their names. Tang Sheng came to count the strokes of the characters, and soon the five names on the blackboard all had the character "zhèng" (meaning "correct") below them, but most of them were Ning Meng's.

  Ning Meng has always been the class monitor of Class 1, and everyone's impression of her is very deep. Even students from other classes know her. Tang Jin's grades are first-rate, but her popularity is as dismal as Guan Shiying's. On the other hand, there are several people who support Wang Zhaoyun and Yuan Feiyang.

  However, the results were clear: Ning Meng led the other four with a high vote of 34.

  Sitting below, Ning Meng's beautiful eyes were slightly moist. She knew that she could get such support and had an important relationship with the words Tang Sheng said at the beginning. Tang Sheng emphasized that grades are not the most important thing, which is a guide to everyone's vote, and it is a correct guidance.

  When the class fell silent again, Mei asked a question, "Tang Sheng, who did you vote for?"

  "Me?" Tang Sheng smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at the blackboard, "Teacher Mei, the result on the blackboard is self-explanatory. Even if I were to vote ten times and give all my votes to one person, it wouldn't change the fact that Ning Meng will be the class monitor. I concede!"

  "Great!" Zhu Xiaochang, who was in the last position, suddenly applauded. "Tang Sheng, your name will be on the blackboard, I'll definitely support you."

  Zhu Xiaochang's words immediately triggered a round of applause, which was everyone's recognition of Tangsheng.

  Tang Sheng smiled slightly and waved his hand for him to sit down. "We still need a second class leader, who will be selected from the remaining four classmates."

  "Wait a minute..." Mei Xiang stood up, "Classmates, do you acknowledge Tang Sheng's organizational abilities?"

  "Recognized... organization ability is very strong... not bad... pretty good..." Classmates expressed their opinions in a lively discussion.

  Mei Yan nodded, "Alright, I suggest that the second monitor add one more name to the list of candidates: Tang Sheng."

  Tang Sheng was stunned, but many of his classmates applauded even more enthusiastically, including Ning Meng and Tang Jin, who were all applauding passionately.

  Mei Yan walked onto the stage, personally picked up the blackboard eraser and erased all the "Zheng" characters, also changing the two words "Ning Meng" to "Tang Sheng". "Now, starting from group one, each student will come up and write a stroke under their desired class monitor candidate's name..."

  The first three people in the group came up, two of them wrote under Tang Sheng's name. Tang Jin was the fourth to come up, she hesitated for a moment and still filled in under Tang Sheng's name. The buzzing discussion below startled her, causing Tang Jin's face to turn red with embarrassment as she stepped down.

  As a result, Tang Sheng won this round perfectly and obtained the support of 48 people. The other four became his foils.

  Lian Ning Meng was also shocked in her heart. If it were Tang Sheng and herself competing for class president, she might not even be able to beat him, how could he be so formidable?

  "Alright, the remaining study committee members and group leaders will be elected by the class leader of sophomore class. I can rest assured now." Mei Yu gave this instruction and turned to leave, Tang Sheng didn't even realize that he had become the class leader of sophomore class, what's going on? It's really embarrassing!

  However, he saw Tang Jin's face full of smiles, and it was clear that this beauty was very happy to take on the role of second monitor.
