Chapter 216 Student Union Election
For the Peking University Student Union election, the school randomly selected one hundred people from all teachers and students to form a public jury.
The key leadership positions in the Student Union will be selected through today's campaign speeches and anonymous voting by the public judges.
As for the ordinary members of the student union, the newly elected leadership members will select suitable candidates based on the requirements of each position.
Compared with the number of candidates running for leadership positions in other departments, which range from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen, there are only six candidates running for the position of student union president.
However, from the information Gu Qingyu had inquired about, none of her competitors could be underestimated!
Among these people, there are not only literary talents whose works are frequently published in newspapers, but also the closed disciples of some academic masters, and even the third generation of some prominent family!
It can be seen from this that none of her competitors are easy to deal with. At this point, Gu Qingyu has no choice but to cheer up and give it her all.
Soon, the main leaders of other departments of the Student Union have all been elected, and now the only one left to be decided is the Student Union President.
At this time, the host of this election said, "Now, please invite those running for Student Union President to come up to the stage and draw lots. The speaking order has been determined!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu followed the crowd up to the stage, took out a ball from the lottery box, and looking at the number 3 on it, Gu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her luck is pretty good as she drew the middle order, Gu Qingyu thought to herself jokingly.
After handing the ball in his hand to the staff in charge of registration, Gu Qingyu went backstage to prepare for his speech later!
The first person to go on stage was Hu Qiang, who was in front of Gu Qingyu when they registered.
Compared to others who were seriously preparing their speeches, Hu Qiang came here just to join in the fun.
"My luck is so bad that I got to be the first one on stage. Looks like there's no hope!"
"I'll go up and give you a demonstration first, and then it's time to watch your performance." Hu Qiang said without waiting for others to comfort him, and ran to the center of the rostrum.
Only a few other candidates were left, looking at Hu Qiang who looked indifferent and made nonsense promises to the people in the audience.
They promised to provide 300 work-study opportunities, promised to raise at least yuan in sponsorship for the student union, etc.!
In short, after Hu Qiang's messy moves, the faces of several candidates behind the scenes also became ugly.
This guy saw that he had no hope of winning the election, so he started making it more difficult for those behind him to run for election!
No matter how passionate and eloquent the speeches prepared by the people waiting to go on stage were, the benefits they received were not as real as what Hu Qiang promised.
Does this count as killing a master with random punches?
"He's quite good at making promises, but doesn't he even consider whether he can deliver on it?" someone said indignantly.
"So what if he can't do it? As long as he can beat the rest of us, even if he really can't do it, at least he's the chairman!"
"You are a despicable villain, shameless as hell!"
Gu Qingyu looked at the indignant people around him, and his heart calmed down a lot!
Because her speech was actually similar to the promise Hu Qiang had just made, except that her plans were all based on what was achievable, unlike Hu Qiang who was full of nonsense!
After Hu Qiang finished his speech on stage, he walked off the stage with a smile on his face and a satisfied look on his face. He saw that the other candidates all had unfriendly expressions towards him, but Hu Qiang was secretly proud of himself.
Although he may not be able to be elected as the student union president, it is good to give those of you who are too ambitious a chance to win every day.
Thinking of this, the cheerful Hu Qiang pretended not to notice that the others were in a bad mood and said to them, "I just went up to give a speech. I was so nervous that my legs were shaking. Fortunately, I finally finished the speech smoothly. Did I do well on the stage just now?"
Gu Qingyu noticed the smug look in Hu Qiang's eyes when he said this, and understood that he said this just to annoy everyone present.
Gu Qingyu and the others had no interest in talking to Hu Qiang's covert provocation, so the scene became quiet for a while.
Hu Qiang acted as if he didn't notice that everyone was ignoring him and continued to ask, "Why aren't you talking?"
Fortunately, at this time, the host announced that the second candidate would go on stage to prepare. Everyone took this opportunity to disperse and no longer paid attention to Hu Qiang's bragging.
The second candidate to take the stage was Chen Mo, a talented man from the School of Arts.
Gu Qingyu stood at the side of the rostrum, listening carefully to the other party's speech. The more he listened, the more serious his expression became. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the other party's talent in his heart.
Sure enough, when Gu Qingyu shifted his gaze to the audience, he found that the jury and the audience had been attracted by Chen Mo's speech, and were all listening attentively to his speech.
Hu Qiang originally thought that since he was the first to go on stage, he could disrupt the rhythm of the others by making such a mess. However, he didn't expect that Chen Mo was not affected at all!
Thinking of this, Hu Qiang couldn't help but say sourly, "I didn't expect that the talented Chen is not only good at writing, but also has a good public speaking skill!"
Seeing that the others were completely ignoring him, Hu Qiang couldn't help but get angry. He looked at them provocatively and said, "Mr. Chen, since he speaks so well, there should be a high probability that he will succeed in the election, right?"
Hu Qiang, this villain, did not hide his thoughts at all. After hearing this, Gu Qingyu glanced at him and stood aside. She did not intend to say anything, so as not to give Hu Qiang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and affect her mentality.
The others could more or less see what Hu Qiang was thinking, but some chose to ignore it like Gu Qingyu.
But there were also those who were arrogant and hot-tempered. After hearing Hu Qiang's words, they said with disdain, "It's still too early to tell who will win."
Hu Qiang initially saw that no one present intended to pay attention to him, and he felt sorry that he didn't have the chance to continue to perform!
Now that someone finally couldn't help but speak, he immediately became excited, "Look at what you're saying. Others can't do it, but you can?"
"If you can do it, then do it. Why are you just complaining here?" Hu Qiang said as he turned his head away proudly.
Hu Qiang's unwillingness to associate with him made the person who just spoke very angry!
Gu Qingyu watched Hu Qiang's various outrageous actions from the side and sighed in his heart: Hu Qiang is such a bad apple, he is always trying to find ways to destroy everyone's mentality.
After Chen Mo comes down, the next person to come on stage is Gu Qingyu.
She stood beside the podium preparing. When she heard the host asking the third candidate to come on stage, she took a deep breath, then put on a big smile, and walked up to the podium with her chest puffed out.
"Hello, teachers and students! I'm Gu Qingyu, the candidate from Economics Class 2!"
Next, Gu Qingyu gave a speech to everyone in an orderly manner according to the previously planned speech content!
She introduced the adjustments to the student union's organizational structure, talked about the future development direction of the student union, and the activities she would plan for her classmates if she succeeded in the election.
At the same time, she also emphasized what kind of help and part-time work-study positions she would provide to students with financial difficulties after she took office.
These contents were compiled and summarized by Gu Qingyu based on the student union model of future universities and the current social context.
Of course, the most important point is that Gu Qingyu did not forget to summarize her work experience over the years to increase her classmates' recognition of her plan!
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Qingyu finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. After hearing the applause, Gu Qingyu finally felt relieved.
Compared with Hu Qiang's fabricated bragging and Chen Mo's flowery language, Gu Qingyu's speech was more pragmatic, which was why the students in the audience applauded continuously.
The few people who had not yet gone on stage looked grim when they heard the applause from the audience. No one had expected that Gu Qingyu's speech would be so successful!
With Gu Qingyu's excellent performance as a precedent, the speeches of the following candidates could only be described as mediocre. Finally, under the supervision of the Youth League Committee teachers, Gu Qingyu was successfully elected as the first president of the Student Union after the resumption of the college entrance examination with a lead of 87 votes.
When the students in dormitory 303 heard that Gu Qingyu was elected as the president of the Student Union, they jumped up and hugged each other excitedly.
Judging from the way he looked, he was even more excited than Gu Qingyu himself!
Of course, Dong Wenjun was not among those who were happy. After learning that Gu Qingyu was elected as the president of the Student Union, she immediately found the counselor and applied for a dormitory change.
So when the classmates in dormitory 303 escorted Gu Xinyu back to the dormitory, Dong Wenjun had already packed up her things and moved out!
Looking at Dong Wenjun's empty bed, the others were still a little confused. She had been staying here before, so how could she leave so easily now?
From this point of view, Dong Wenjun is probably a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
Gu Qingyu did not comment on this. Whether Dong Wenjun left or not was not within Gu Qingyu's consideration.
As the newly appointed president of the Student Union, Gu Qingyu’s next key task is to cooperate with the teachers of the Youth League Committee to select personnel from other departments of the Student Union.
After three days of continuous elections, the new student union was officially established.
As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. It just so happens that this autumn sports meeting will be officially held at the end of this month.
So, Gu Qingyu took the newly elected student union members to their first official appearance.
Sports meets have always had a fixed process. After looking through historical materials from the past few years, Gu Qingyu made some new arrangements.
The first thing we did was to arrange for students from the Propaganda Department to rearrange the sports field, trying to show the spirit of the youth of the new era.
The second thing was to arrange for the students from the External Relations Department to go out and beg for alms, because Gu Qingyu and the teachers from the Youth League Committee proposed to give some material rewards to the students who achieved good rankings.
Of course, Gu Qingyu was also prepared for the situation where the students in the External Relations Department failed to get sponsorship, so she greeted Sun Lei in advance and asked her to donate a batch of supplies to be used for awarding her!
Because Gu Qingyu and his team were well prepared, their student union made a great impression in front of the school leaders at this sports meet, and also helped Gu Qingyu, the newly appointed student union president, to secure his position!
After the sports meet, Gu Qingyu was not idle. In the name of the Student Union, she organized a school-wide English speech contest and literature competition, which attracted many students to sign up and received a good response!
This made Gu Qingyu leave a deeper impression on the school leaders.
At the same time, Gu Qingyu also did something big. In the name of the Peking University Student Union, she invited the student unions of the neighboring Hua University, Minzu University, and several other nearby schools to jointly organize the first college debate competition.
Because so many schools were involved and the impact was so wide, the final was attended not only by leaders from various schools, but also attracted the attention of Beijing TV.
As the last few finals were broadcast on TV, all the players in the teams participating in the finals became famous throughout the entire Beijing city, and there was a tendency to expand outward!
It was because of the success of the first debate competition that this debate competition initiated by Gu Qingyu became larger and larger in scale and had a wider impact in the years that followed, and it even became a regular program in various universities in Beijing!
With the successful holding of several activities, Gu Qingyu's reputation as the student union president became more and more famous.
As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. After Gu Qingyu worked in the Student Union for more than a month, she completely sorted out the affairs of the Student Union!
After sorting things out, Gu Qingyu turned her attention back to her studies, and she also began to gradually let other people take over the student union affairs!
In this way, Gu Qingyu can not only get rid of the tedious student union affairs, but also take care of his studies at the same time.
Of course, Gu Qing has not forgotten that there is one important thing she has not yet fulfilled - that is to provide part-time jobs for poor students.
As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Gu Qingyu had thought of a famous oriental school in later generations as early as when the Jiang brothers and sisters went to the cram school.
So, she came up with the idea of creating a tutoring school that integrates educational training and vocational training!
Those who are able to be admitted to Kyoto University are all gifted children. They are the reserve resources for future teachers of their school. How many part-time jobs will they provide for them by then?
Gu Qingyu did it as soon as she thought of it. She immediately asked Gu Lei to find a suitable teaching address for her.
After handing the matter over to Gu Lei, Gu Qingyu became free. Apart from not attending the regular meetings of the Student Union, she focused her main attention on studying.
Before we knew it, it was New Year's Day, and Gu Qingyu and the others were about to take their final exams for the first semester!
