Chapter 1467 Military Training Life
“You can call me Counselor Hou.
“This is my phone number. You should keep it.”
Counselor Hou wrote down his contact information on the blackboard. “In the next four years, if you have any problems, you can come to me.”
The students took out their mobile phones one after another to keep Counselor Hou’s phone number.
If they were in high school, they might have doubted his real intention. When they took out their mobile phones back then, the lead teacher would smile and stretch out her hand. “Hand your phones over.”
University was different. Everyone was already an adult and was close to joining society without someone else minding their trivial business.
The ones who had strong self-discipline would get good grades, and the ones with poor self-discipline tended to do a terrible job in studying.
There were different kinds of students.
After Counselor Hou introduced himself, he held a list and read it.
After a dozen seconds of silence, he suddenly said, “Which one of you is Zhang Yumeng?”
Counselor Hou was about 40 years old, and he spoke with a hint of smile and curiosity.
Clatter!
The students in the classroom began to look around.
They were all staring at the girls. Obviously, it was a girl’s name.
“I am.”
Mengmeng raised her hand.
Many gazes were fixed on her.
Even the air seemed to have become quiet.
“Well, you’re not bad as the top scorer of Xiangjiang.”
Counselor Hou smiled and nodded.
His attitude showed that he fancied Zhang Yumeng’s chances. At the very least, his first impression of Zhang Yumeng was that she had the highest scores among the rest of the class.
Zheng Dan was filled with envy again.
“It will be so easy for Mengmeng to run for the representative.”
“The top scorer of Xiangjiang. That’s really amazing.”
“She’s damned beautiful.”
“…”
Some people began to discuss in a low voice.
“Which one of you is Lv Zihan?” Counselor Hou asked.
“I… I am.”
Lv Zihan lowered her head slightly, raised her hand, and responded in a low voice. Her face was slightly red and she was a little shy.
“Alright.”
Counselor Hou nodded again and called, “Yue Xiaonao?”
“That’s me,” Yue Xiaonao replied lazily.
” Chen Yang?”
Counselor Hou started calling the roll. He just called the names of the students with good grades to see who they were.
“Hello, Counselor Hou. I’m Chen Yang.” Chen Yang raised his hand and greeted him generously.
“Wang Xiaojia.”
“Here.”
“Zheng Dan.”
“…”
After calling the roll, Counselor Hou looked at some people silently.
Mengmeng, Chen Yang, Yue Xiaonao, and a few others were the first ones he could remember.
He needed to check some people repeatedly before remembering them.
“Let’s have a simple talk.”
Counselor Hou sat on the chair on the podium and said, “We’re in Class 431. The grades of the students this year are much higher than before. You can do whatever you want in the university and have fun, but don’t forget to study. It’s not good to fail too many courses. You will get your class schedule in a few days. First, there will be two weeks of military training and a week of activity. You will be required to clean up a part of the school. That is to say, you’ll start having classes in the fourth week of this month. In the first three weeks, you can get familiar with the school environment and join the school clubs.
“Now, I’ll first choose a temporary class representative to manage the order of the class and some trivial matters of military training. In the fourth week, there will be a class representative election, as well as elections for other positions.
“Has anyone of you ever been a class representative?”
In fact, Counselor Hou already knew everyone’s situation. He had read the files of 66 students, so he knew them well.
“I used to be a member of the study committee in high school.” A boy raised his hand and was a little eager.
But soon, another tanned-skinned student said, “I was a class representative throughout my three years in high school.”
He suppressed the crowd by being a representative for three years.
Chen Yang sat aside with a faint smile on his face. It seemed that he was not interested in being the class representative at all.
After seeing this, Zheng Dan was inexplicably relieved.
She also raised her hand and said, “I used to be a class representative in high school.”
It was just that she had been the class representative during the first year of high school, and she didn’t say it in detail.
“I was a publicity committee member in high school.”
Some people wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. They put down their hands and sighed secretly. “Alas, I used to be a class representative in junior high school, but it doesn’t seem to work now.”
There were about eight or nine people who raised their hands.
They seemed to be quite interested in being the class representative.
The competition was fierce.
The students also began to talk about it. The class seemed to be on the right track, and many students were chatting.
“It seems that a lot of you have acted as class leaders.”
Counselor Hou put down the list and said with a smile, “I’m very pleased to see you raise your hands enthusiastically. Now, the acting class representative candidate is…”
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Everyone wanted to succeed.
Two of them, who had been class representatives for three years in high school, were very confident. They knew that either of them would be the acting class representative candidate.
If that person performed well, he would officially be the class representative in half a month.
However, how things turned out would always surprise people.
“The acting class representative is Zhang Yumeng, who used to be a class representative for six years,” Counselor Hou said with a smile.
“What?”
Mengmeng was stunned.
She didn’t say anything or raise her hand. How did she become the acting class representative?
Moreover, she had been a class representative for six years when she was in elementary school.
But now she was in college.
“Counselor Hou, you must have got it wrong.” Mengmeng grinned.
She did not want to be the class representative.
The acting class representative would be very busy.
“Don’t worry.”
Counselor Hou had a look of trust on his face. He thought that Mengmeng felt that she was not qualified, so he said, “It’s always good to try. Don’t be stressed. The class representative election will take place after half a month. At that time, it will be the formal occupation.”
The implication was that if Mengmeng had a good relationship with her classmates during this period, she would surely get their votes by then.
“I, um…”
Mengmeng grinned and looked at Yue Xiaonao.
“Let’s give applause to Representative Mengmeng to give us a speech!”
Unexpectedly, Yue Xiaonao, who was eager to stir up trouble, took the lead in applauding.
Clatter!
Counselor Hou also smiled and clapped along.
It was unexpected to Mengmeng. She glared at Yue Xiaonao out of the corner of her eye.
However, this was just a small matter.
Mengmeng got up and said, “Since Counselor Hou trusts me so much, I’ll be the acting class representative for the time being. Don’t disobey me. I can be very frightening when I get angry.”
Mengmeng’s delicate cheeks were full of seriousness as she spoke.
Others felt amazed while looking at her.
“Wonderful!”
Many people took the lead and applauded.
Chen Yang, a werewolf, who was a strong competitor of the acting class representative, glanced at Counselor Hou’s choice Mengmeng with a serious look.
“However, Zhang Yumeng is so beautiful.”
He finally raised his hand and clapped.
“If she gets to be the class representative, will I still compete with her?”
“Then, the acting class representative, Zhang Yumeng, will lead everyone to clean the classroom. It’s 7:30 now. I’ll come and check at 8 o’clock.”
After that, Counselor Hou left.
Generally speaking, it was a little difficult for a newcomer to command others to do work.
But it was not difficult for Mengmeng to handle.
“The class shall be divided into three groups. You’re in charge of the first group.” Mengmeng pointed to Chen Yang and said, “You’re responsible for wiping the glass, the second group needs to sweep the floor, and Zheng Dan will be in charge of the third group to clean the blackboard and the desks.”
She handed over the jobs to others.
Chen Yang was in the first group, the boy who had been a class representative for three years was in the second group, and Zheng Dan and the others were in the third group.
Mengmeng was naturally beautiful, which was an advantage. However, there were still some people who didn’t want to move and didn’t know what to do, unless they were told to take a mop and get some water. Only then would they do some real work.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Chen Yang stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, “Let’s get to work first. It’s just two pieces of glass. I think it’ll be done in ten minutes. The tools are in the front of the classroom. Let’s do it together.”
With someone taking the lead, there would be others following.
All the students got busy.
Zheng Dan and the other boy also began to make arrangements.
There were also some lazy people, but because there were many people, half of them could finish the work in 20 minutes.
It was eight o’clock.
When Counselor Hou returned to the classroom, the whole place was cleaner. Because it was on the first floor, even the windows had been wiped, which made the room very bright.
A good environment could make one feel physically and mentally refreshed.
Counselor Hou showed a satisfied smile.
He also cast a glance at Mengmeng.
He had a good impression of this beautiful student, the top scorer of Xiangjiang.
“Well done.” He praised her.
This put a lot of pressure on Zheng Dan. She looked around and sighed in her heart. “I don’t know if Zhang Yumeng will run for the class representative. If she does, I won’t have a chance.”
In her opinion, Mengmeng was so beautiful that as long as there was no big problem with her work, she would definitely be able to get the most votes. Moreover, Counselor Hou valued her so much. As a counselor, his decision mattered more.
Counselor Hou said, “There’s nothing else to do today. You guys go to the military training room 301 and distribute the uniforms. Then, you can go back to the dormitory to change your clothes. Meet at the pond on the left side of the playground before nine o’clock. During the military training, I’ll visit you often. If you have any questions, contact the instructor in time and you can also contact me.”
Several boys who had been called out by him quickly went to military room 301 to get the uniforms.
After the clothes were distributed, the first class meeting was over.
The students had nearly an hour to dress up.
The military training uniforms were camouflaged. When wearing the same uniform, the girls didn’t look as pretty as usual, but there was also a special beauty in the military training uniforms.
“Mengmeng, why didn’t you take any sunscreen?”
Li Muen ran over and said, “I have some miniature bottles of sunscreen here. Do you want some?”
As she spoke, she even took the bottles out and shook them.
“We’ve also brought some,” said Zheng Dan.
“I don’t need it. I’m not afraid of the wind or the sun,” Mengmeng said.
“Well, okay.” Li Muen nodded and said, “We’ll be on the same team for military training. I don’t know if my weak constitution can hold on. What if I faint because of heatstroke?”
“You won’t. You’re not that fragile,” Yue Xiaonao waved her hand.
When they walked out of the corridor, they met Li Muen’s three roommates, who were walking with some classmates.
Li Muen said hello to them.
At this time, Zheng Dan really couldn’t help but whisper to Mengmeng, “Meng- Mengmeng…”
It was the first time that she had called Mengmeng in such an intimate way as Li Muen and Yue Xiaonao.
“What’s up?” Mengmeng glanced at her.
“Well, do you want to be the class representative? If you do, you’ll have my support. I’ll compete for the coordinator,” Zheng Dan said.
“I don’t want to be the class representative. This is not what I wanted. She made this happen,” Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Yue Xiaonao.
“Hahaha.” Yue Xiaonao laughed and spread out her hands. “What does that have to do with me?”
“So, will you support me?” Zheng Dan was uncertain.
“Sure.”
She didn’t expect Mengmeng to agree with her on this so easily. She just mentioned it briefly, and Mengmeng agreed right away.
After they walked into the square, all the freshmen in military training uniforms came into view. The instructors were resting on one side, waiting for their teams. The military training would last for two weeks, which was also a leisure experience in their life.
Some of them were even eager to train the group of newcomers.
