123: Chapter 123 Class Monitor Election: They Failed to Trap This Slippery Guy Again

The next morning.

Class 1 of the 2009 Computer Science major officially held its class committee election meeting.

Before leaving, Shen Weiyue looked at Xie Dongming and A-Bin and said solemnly, "Did you remember what I told you?"

"Don't worry, Brother Yue, it's a done deal." Fatty Xie patted his backside to assure him.

Shen Weiyue felt slightly relieved; today was going to be another tough battle.

His intuition told him that Counselor Chen Ruobing had already set a trap, just waiting for him to stick his head in so she could strangle him until he was dizzy and foaming at the mouth.

After all, the way she looked at him was increasingly filled with admiration.

Qi Hui scratched his head vigorously and asked curiously, "Brother Yue, what did you tell Fatty Xie and the others to remember? How come I don't know about it?"

"Don't ask about the brothers' business. You just focus on running for class monitor; leave the strategy to Old Dad." Shen Weiyue didn't explain, walking ahead with his hands behind his back.

After walking a short distance, he realized what he was doing and stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets.

Led by the triple Andy Lau, the Andy Lau Home strode across the Jiang University campus in early autumn, not carrying bookbags, looking nothing like freshmen.

Passing by the cafeteria, they encountered Li Mengmeng's roommate, Wang Shishi. Shen Weiyue just smiled and nodded, and the three silly dogs followed suit.

Wang Shishi felt that this little group was a bit different, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly was different.

Ultimately, it was a matter of aura.

"Brother Yue, isn't that Li Mengmeng's roommate? She's actually out alone and packing food…"

"Look at her, at such a young age she's already shouldering the heavy responsibility of feeding an entire dorm. Which one of you three has that kind of awareness?"

"We can't get up. You go running every morning, why don't you bring us food?"

"Damn you, that's turning the tables on heaven and earth!"

Shen Weiyue scolded Qi Hui, and as they crossed the cafeteria, the Computer Science building was already in sight.

When the four of them went upstairs, they happened to run into An Lan's dorm. Little An An stole several glances at Shen Weiyue, her eyes filled with irrepressible joy.

"Old Yue, what's up with An Lan?"

"Ignore her, remember what I told you!"

Shen Weiyue frowned, thinking that Counselor Chen Ruobing had likely already spoken to An Lan in private. This girl probably thought she and he would be working together as partners later, which was why she was secretly happy.

Although men and women working together makes the work less tiring, that man definitely wouldn't be me, and it couldn't be me.

I'm about to start preparing to open a web novel studio; who the hell has the time to be some crappy class monitor?

Shen Weiyue stared at Qi Hui and said viciously, "Little Hui, if you come up empty-handed today, don't ever say you know me in the future!"

"It's just electing a class committee member, is it really that serious…" Qi Hui still couldn't understand why he attached so much importance to this matter.

However, he did listen to some of Shen Weiyue's other advice. When passing by An Lan, he didn't take the initiative to greet her, and even acted as if she didn't exist.

This was unexpected.

"An An, Qi Hui didn't even look at you."

"Could he be trying to use this contrast to get your attention?"

"Heh, childish."

Girls with a bit of looks always have a high opinion of themselves; An Lan snorted.

Shen Weiyue walked into the classroom, and Counselor Chen Ruobing's gaze locked onto him instantly, nodding imperceptibly.

A navy blue short-sleeved solid-colored T-shirt, off-white trousers, and a pair of black sneakers; this young man was as refreshing and clean as a sprig of mint in summer.

"Shen Weiyue, we're electing class committee members today, sit in the front row."

Wow, the Counselor isn't even pretending anymore; she's going to make her move on me, isn't she?

Shen Weiyue looked at Counselor Chen Ruobing.

An off-white short-sleeved polo knit shirt paired with a navy blue A-line skirt, wearing a pair of studded pointed-toe high heels—a mix of preppy and mature style.

Not bad, she really knows how to dress.

But… I'm a student wearing navy blue and off-white, and you, damn it, are wearing off-white and navy blue. Is this appropriate?

Look, even Fatty Xie leaned into my ear and said this is a couple's outfit.

"Damn it, no one will think you're mute if you don't talk. While everyone hasn't arrived yet, hurry up and go do your job."

Shen Weiyue said in a low voice to Xie Dongming and A-Bin, "The Counselor is looking at us again, don't look up… follow the plan and go lobby for votes privately."

Counselor Chen Ruobing didn't know what these three troublemakers were whispering about again. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "Shen Weiyue, come out for a moment."

"Okay." Shen Weiyue gave the two of them a wink and then followed Counselor Chen Ruobing out of the classroom.

"Student Shen Weiyue, through my observations during military training, I think you have great leadership skills. You are calm and composed when encountering problems, and you are good at coordination, so I have decided to select you as class monitor."

"Teacher Chen, I don't want to be class monitor."

"Why?"

"No interest."

Counselor Chen Ruobing frowned and persuaded him, "Being class monitor has many benefits. You can train yourself, and you can get bonus points for evaluations and awards…"

Shen Weiyue refused, "I don't need those. Others need them more than I do, for example, our dorm mate, student Qi Hui."

"Among the boys, you are the most suitable. I will have An Lan work with you as your partner; An Lan is very good…"

"Is that also a consideration? Even if it were working with you, I wouldn't want to, let alone her."

Counselor Chen Ruobing was choked by this remark, her gaze turning unfriendly.

Shen Weiyue was full of relaxed confidence. Looking into her eyes, he smiled and said, "I'm just a kid from a rural area in the western mountains. I suggest you ask someone else who is more capable."

Counselor Chen Ruobing's face was as cold as frost, "What if I insist that you be the one?"

Shen Weiyue leaned leisurely against the railing, examining her figure from top to bottom. While comparing her to Liang Yuting, he said indifferently, "Elections are about democracy. What if the other students don't agree?"

Counselor Chen Ruobing felt his gaze was too intrusive and said coldly, "They will agree with the candidate I suggest."

"Oh, then let's wait until the votes are cast." Shen Weiyue's eyes held a smile, "Teacher Chen, they say we are wearing a couple's outfit today."

"You…" Counselor Chen Ruobing suddenly looked down at her own outfit, then looked at his, and her expression became unnatural.

Damn it, no wonder it looked so pleasing to the eye; it turns out it's because I liked this style to begin with.

Shen Weiyue had already returned to the classroom.

Counselor Chen Ruobing took a few deep breaths, reminding herself not to let him disturb her state of mind. This boy was indeed the biggest troublemaker.

No, not just a troublemaker, but a devil.

Counselor Chen Ruobing walked into the classroom, and seeing that everyone had arrived, she went straight to the topic, "The first item of the class meeting is to elect the class committee. Does anyone want to volunteer?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there were indeed people who volunteered.

An Lan and Qi Hui both raised their hands to sign up. Seeing Shen Weiyue remaining as steady as a mountain, Counselor Chen Ruobing said, "This time we need to elect the class monitor, deputy class monitor, league branch secretary, study committee member, life committee member, publicity committee member, psychological committee member, sports and arts committee member, and discipline committee member—a total of nine positions."

"Although the number of self-nominated candidates has exceeded the limit, in order to ensure a competitive election, I will also nominate one more person: Shen Weiyue for class monitor."

"Next, we will hold a democratic election to seek everyone's opinion. It will be a secret ballot, and the person with the most votes will be the class monitor. Let's begin."

She waved her hand confidently.

The pre-printed forms were passed out, and the whole class began to vote.

Soon the ballots were collected back. Counselor Chen Ruobing appointed three people to supervise and count the votes, and they began to tally them on the blackboard using the 'zheng' character stroke method.

The result was very unexpected.

Out of the 33 people in the class, Qi Hui actually received 31 votes, firmly taking first place.

Counselor Chen Ruobing was dumbfounded.
