Xia Weilan and Rui Li walked into the sophomore class together. They noticed that there were quite a few new faces they didn't recognize before. When the others saw Xia Weilan and Rui Li come in, they just gave them a casual glance and quickly withdrew their gazes, then continued their lively discussion.
Xia Weilan and Rui Li sat down in an empty seat. They heard the people around them talking about applying to join the student union.
Before Xia Weilan could catch the details clearly, everyone fell silent and looked up at the podium.
There stood a well - dressed and cold - faced woman on the podium. She wore a pair of gold - rimmed glasses, and the look under the glasses was meticulous without a trace of emotion. "Hello, everyone. I'm your homeroom teacher."
The homeroom teacher announced the study plan on the podium and quickly selected a class monitor.
A little girl sitting in front of Xia Weilan stood up, politely greeting everyone. "Hello, everyone. I'm very glad to be the class monitor. At the same time, I'm also the head of the learning department of the student union. Please give me your advice. Thank you."
The female class monitor gave a sweet smile and sat back down.
Xia Weilan had outstanding academic performance in the design department. But surprisingly, no one suggested that she be the class monitor. Xia Weilan was slightly taken aback. When she learned that the girl was the head of the learning department of the student union, she understood. After all, the girl had the relevant experience.
After class, before Xia Weilan could get up, the female class monitor in front of her suddenly turned around and said to Xia Weilan, "You're Xia Weilan? I know you. You have good grades. Are you interested in joining the student union?"
As she said, the female class monitor took out an application form from her bag. "Here. If you join, you'll have a better chance of getting a scholarship and the title of excellent student. In short, there are many benefits. What do you think?"
Xia Weilan thought that if she joined the student union, she would be busier. However, she would also have more practical opportunities. So she took the form, filled it out on the spot, and handed it to the female class monitor.
The female class monitor looked at Xia Weilan's form, and a flash of admiration crossed her eyes. She didn't expect Xia Weilan to have such a rich resume with a lot of part - time and internship experience.
"Great! With you in our learning department, you'll surely help me a lot."
Yes, Xia Weilan had chosen the learning department. After all, it was the head of the learning department who had personally invited her. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to choose other departments.
The female class monitor put away the document and blinked her eyes. "By the way, there's a small gathering of the student union at noon. Why don't you come too? We'll just have a meal together to get to know each other."
Xia Weilan and Rui Li glanced at each other. Seeing the girl's enthusiasm, they felt it would be impolite to decline. So they agreed.
The female class monitor happily ran out with the document, probably to submit it to the student union for approval.
In the afternoon, when the female class monitor brought Xia Weilan and Rui Li to a nearby hotel, they found that there were already quite a few people in the hall. Everyone was gathered around the tables in the hall, chatting and laughing.
When several boys saw the female class monitor bringing two beautiful girls this time, their eyes lit up, and their voices became more excited.
"Hey, three beautiful girls are here!"
"Beautiful girls, come and sit here."
The female class monitor grinned. She was quite satisfied with the people she had recruited this time. So she led Xia Weilan and Rui Li over and sat down in the empty seats, introducing them.
"These are classmate Xia and classmate Rui. They're not members of the student union yet, but classmate Xia has already submitted her application. I'm sure she'll join soon."
"Are you freshmen?" the boys asked enthusiastically.
"They're my classmates," the female class monitor explained.
Under the searching gazes of everyone, Xia Weilan and Rui Li remained calm. They weren't intimidated by the enthusiasm of the crowd at all. Instead, they sat there steadily and nodded to everyone.
Now, everyone's eyes became even brighter. They thought these two new beautiful girls had really good temperaments. If they participated in the campus beauty contest, they would surely be in the top three.
The girls who used to be the center of attention saw their limelight being stolen. So they gave Xia Weilan and Rui Li cold looks with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
"You guys, when you see new girls, you lose all your dignity and rush towards them. Aren't you ashamed for our student union?" a good - looking girl complained.
"Ha - ha," the girl's boyfriend quickly withdrew his gaze and went to comfort his girlfriend.
Xia Weilan found it interesting and said with a faint smile, "Beauty is also a kind of capital. Naturally, everyone loves beauty. However, beauty can only deceive people for a while. What can really win people's hearts in the end is one's inner temperament."
Hearing what Xia Weilan said, the girl's face looked much better. She also thought she must be good enough. When it came to inner qualities, she had them. So her expression softened a lot.
Xia Weilan was right. It wasn't her fault to be beautiful.
Fan Ming, sitting at another table, suddenly turned around when he heard this. He saw a tall girl with her back to him. A flash of light crossed his eyes. From this girl's remarks, he could tell that she wasn't as artificial as ordinary girls. Instead, she was straightforward, which made her seem special.
The female class monitor said to Xia Weilan, "For this gathering, the boys will go Dutch, and the girls are free."
The female class monitor didn't know Xia Weilan's background. Seeing Xia Weilan and Rui Li looked low - key, she thought they weren't from wealthy families. So she kindly reminded them.
Just then, Fan Ming suddenly walked from another table and sat down in the empty seat at this table. He said to the female class monitor generously, "I'll treat everyone to this meal!"
"Wow!" The other boys exclaimed in surprise. "Fan Ming, why are you so generous today? It's not like your usual low - key self."
"It's really strange! Fan Ming, do you have some good news? Come on, share it with us."
This was the first time Fan Ming saw Xia Weilan's face. She was fair - skinned and looked very gentle. One could tell at a glance that she was well - educated.
Fan Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness. He said to the boys calmly, "I'm running for the president of the student union this time. Naturally, I hope you'll all support me."
Everyone immediately realized and laughed. "Sure, we'll definitely vote for you."
The female class monitor leaned over to Xia Weilan and explained, "This is a junior senior. He used to be the vice - president of the student union. Now he's running for the president. He's very easy - going."
Xia Weilan curled the corner of her mouth, not because of Fan Ming, but because of the female class monitor's familiar way of acting. It seemed that the girl already regarded her as a good friend, which made her feel better.
Rui Li also glanced at the female class monitor. She had a good impression of this girl. She was very lively and cheerful.
