In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 28: Running for class monitor? They have projects and funds, what do you have to run for election?
The next morning, Du Guowang rode his bicycle to school, carrying Xie Wei, who was weak and pale, and had not yet fully sobered up from his drunken state.

Wang Zheng, who was waiting at the gate, didn't bother to let Xie Wei admire the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology. He directly pulled Xie Wei to Dormitory No. 1 and said, "Put your things in the dormitory first. I'll take you to the classroom later. It's the first day of school. It's not good to be late."

Xie Wei nodded.

He really didn't intend to be late, but Du Guowang said he would bring him to school, so Xie Wei had no choice but to leave without waiting for him.

Fortunately, Dormitory No. 1 is not far from the school gate.

The freshmen of the class of 78, during the evening study session yesterday, students from each class met with their counselors and elected class leaders.

Before the first class in the morning, the counselor reluctantly called out the students in his class who were selected for the experimental class and asked them to go to the experimental class on their own.

The reason I didn’t send it was that I was afraid I would be reluctant to do so and would then conflict with the big guys in the experimental class.

The counselor of the experimental class is Luo Yang, the head of the Academic Affairs Office.

The teachers teaching the class are either the department head or the graduate student supervisor.

The school attaches so much importance to the experimental class, how dare the counselors of the ordinary classes not let the students go?

"Classmates, welcome to the experimental class. I am your counselor, Luo Yang. In the future, if you have any questions or difficulties in study or life, you can come to me directly."

Luo Yang looked at the 20 or so students sitting sparsely in the classroom, with an age gap of almost ten years, and his face was full of smiles.

These are the leaders in various technological fields in the future.

Baby bump!

I am their class teacher.

"Before class starts, we will select class leaders. Based on the principles of fairness, justice and openness, everyone can nominate themselves or recommend classmates."

"Teacher Luo, my name is Mo Lingyu, I'm a party member, and I was a platoon leader in the army. I hope to run for class monitor and help you share the work."

As soon as Luo Yang finished speaking, Mo Lingyu stood up.

Lang Lang generously recommended himself to run for class monitor.

"Uh, classmate Mo Lingyu, I haven't finished yet. You can't run for the position of class monitor, but you can run for other positions. How about changing the position you want to run for?"

Looking at the beautiful and proactive girl in front of him, Luo Yang looked embarrassed.

what?
When the geniuses in the experimental class heard that there would be no election for the position of class monitor, they were shocked.

What about the election?

Where is the fairness, justice and openness we just mentioned?
The students in the classroom all stared at Luo Yang with complicated expressions.

Except for two students who were in a state of confusion, the other students were either educated youth or were recruited from the army or factories. Having experienced the beatings of society, they knew they couldn't go against their teacher, but they resorted to shady manipulation just after he said fairness and justice.

Shouldn't there be an explanation?
"Teacher Luo, can I ask who will be the class monitor?"

Wei Bingkun, a thin 30-year-old man, raised his hand and stood up directly, asking dissatisfiedly.

He is the oldest in the class.

Before the college entrance examination, I was a substitute teacher in a junior high school.

Unlike other students, Wei Bingkun made a detailed plan for his life before the college entrance examination: with his college entrance examination score of 475, he could have been admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, the two most famous key universities in China, but he chose Harbin Institute of Technology.

The reason is that there are too many top students in those two universities, many of whom have strong backgrounds.

He is relatively old, and the school will definitely not allocate too many resources to him since he has no background and is not particularly outstanding in academics.

I chose Harbin Institute of Technology, an old key university with a much lesser reputation, just to get more resources. From the moment I entered the school, I became an office cadre, and after graduation, my starting point is often much higher.

Being the monitor of the experimental class can not only make up for the impact of older age on one's career, but also give one more chance to get in touch with school leaders, teachers, and even the supervisors of higher-level departments of the school. These personal connections will be of great help to Wei Bingkun's future career development.

As a result, before I even stood up to run for election, the class teacher said that the candidate for class monitor had already been decided!

Shady!

Everyone's eyes were on Luo Yang.

The geniuses selected from all the freshmen in the grade stared at him with unfriendly eyes. Even though Luo Yang had been in a cadre position for a long time, he felt a little uneasy at this moment.

Not explaining clearly?
I'm afraid it will be hard to find a job in the future. Students who have gone through the rural re-education camp are not as easy to fool as freshmen who have been studying in school and admitted to university.

"Well, students, please sit down first."

Mo Lingyu sat down quietly. She was not so anxious about becoming the class monitor. Besides, the class monitor designated by the school would probably be that guy.

Wei Bingkun stared at Luo Yang stubbornly, as if he would not sit down without an answer.

"Ah~"

Luo Yang sighed silently in his heart.

He knew what Wei Bingkun was thinking. He was old and had been a substitute teacher in school before, but had never been able to get a full-time job, so he took the college entrance examination and his score was among the top few among all the freshmen in the school.

What's more, Wei Bingkun had already been elected as the monitor of the physics class yesterday.

But there is no way, the experimental class is full of geniuses among geniuses.

Those who have passed the entrance test are all here.

"After many considerations by the class teachers and the school, it was unanimously agreed that Xie Wei is the most suitable student to serve as class monitor."

"Teacher Luo, are class leaders selected based on their scores? Don't consider whether they are competent? Don't consider whether they can better serve the class?"

Wei Bingkun didn't care about leaving a bad impression on Luo Yang. Seeing Luo Yang pause, he questioned in a cold voice.

He really needs the position of squad leader!
The list of students selected for the experimental class and their scores are published in the school information column.

Everyone knew that Xie Wei scored 98 points, and they also knew their own score.

The last one is Yao Xinwei with 61 points.

Entrance test, 575 freshmen, 28 passed.

“It’s not just about grades!”

Luo Yang shook his head and frowned slightly as he looked at Wei Bingkun who was looking dissatisfied.

Before going to university, Wei Bingkun worked as an educated youth for several years and as a substitute teacher for several years. Hasn't his edges been smoothed out yet?
"Why is that? Since we are running for election, the candidates must show their advantages and let the students vote together. This way, it will be fair and just!"

Wei Bingkun's words are very sharp.

Directly become the representative of all classmates.

When the students in the classroom who were already dissatisfied heard this, their dissatisfaction became even more pronounced.

"Before enrolling, Xie Wei was a technician in a factory and has extensive experience in technology development and project management."

Luo Yang ignored Wei Bingkun. After saying this, he glanced at all the classmates, taking in their reactions.

Most of the students had doubts on their faces: Do I need to go to college if I can be responsible for technical development and project management?

What a fuss!

Seeing Wei Bingkun's lips move, Luo Yang continued without waiting for him to speak: "Students, the teaching content and goals of the experimental class are different from those of other majors: the school plans to concentrate resources to train leaders in various technical fields. All teachers are department heads and professors who supervise graduate students. As the class teacher, I am the director of the Academic Affairs Office."

"Suck~"

All the students gasped.

The entire class has teachers and a class guide, the configuration is so luxurious!

I finally understand why the entrance exam is so difficult!

Graduate students don’t need such configuration, right?
Hearing about such a luxurious teaching team configuration, Wei Bingkun became even more eager for the position of class monitor.

Even Mo Lingyu, who was originally indifferent, had a burning light in his eyes at this moment.

"In addition, the reason why Xie Wei was appointed as class monitor without an election is because he has two projects and supporting funds. As class monitor, he can better coordinate the class's human resources to participate in the project."

As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom was boiling.
