As the last student to go on stage, Lin Chuan stood on the podium but did not start his speech immediately. Instead, he looked around at the students below the stage.

This is a habit he developed from his previous job of "giving orders," which gives him a sense of control and conveys confidence to the audience.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Chuan," Lin Chuan said slowly after a few seconds, "As you can see, I was actually chosen as class monitor by Teacher Xue."

The classroom was quiet for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. The atmosphere was clearly better when Lin Chuan was on stage than the previous two times.

"Compared to Liu Hao and Zhao Jiajia, I never served as a class officer in junior high school."

"So I can't really say I have any class committee experience," Lin Chuan said, his hands resting on the podium, but a smile on his face. "However, from another perspective, this should also be considered one of my strengths."

"Because I've never been a class committee member, I'm just like most of you. If you elect me as the temporary class monitor during military training, it's like you've chosen a friend, not the position of class monitor."

"During military training, if you encounter any problems, whether it's during training or in daily life, feel free to come to me, because we're friends," he smiled slightly. "Okay, that's all I wanted to say, thank you everyone."

A few seconds later, another round of enthusiastic applause rang out in the classroom.

Xue Ren walked up to the podium and said, "Our voting is quite simple. When I call out a name, you just need to raise your hand."

"First, let's talk about Zhao Jiajia. Raise your hand if you think she's qualified to be class monitor."

Many hands were raised in the classroom. Xue Ren counted twenty students. Then it was Liu Hao's turn. One after another, hands were raised in the class, about the same number as Zhao Jiajia's.

Liu Hao was also counting the number of people, and there were twenty of them.

Liu Hao was quite satisfied with the result. After all, girls have an advantage in elections for class monitor, and his unanimous vote meant he was more capable of the job.

However, Liu Hao was somewhat disappointed that Chen Xiyu, the freshman he had been paying attention to, did not raise her hand. Although it was only one vote, he felt that this vote was more important than all the other votes combined.

However, Chen Xiyu didn't seem to care much about what was happening on stage during the election. She just sat there quietly, as if nothing concerned her. This is probably how outstanding girls are, naive and innocent.

Liu Hao had already categorized that girl as someone who was detached from worldly affairs.

"The last one is Lin Chuan," Xue Ren said.

Another round of students raised their hands, but Liu Hao was surprised to see that Chen Xiyu, who had never raised her hand before, had actually raised hers. He was slightly taken aback, and then students began to raise their hands one after another.

Xue Renqing counted the number of people who raised their hands. "There are twenty-five people in total. So, during the military training, Lin Chuan will be the temporary squad leader."

Clearly, for freshmen, choosing a class monitor who speaks formally is not as effective as choosing a friend who seems close.

When he was called up on stage, Lin Chuan could have predicted this outcome. Although he had "restrained" himself during his speech, he couldn't just go up and say that he didn't want to be class monitor, could he? That would really be disrespectful to the new class teacher.

However, it doesn't really matter. He's just a temporary class monitor, and he'll quit after military training. For Lin Chuan, it's not a big deal. He can just consider it a small price to pay for "joking with the teacher" in the office.

After the class monitor was announced, applause rang out in the classroom. Even Zhao Jiajia, who was not elected, clapped. Except for Liu Hao, who frowned and looked at Lin Chuan. He was very dissatisfied. Why should others choose him after such a casual speech?

He was even more unconvinced when even Chen Xiyu raised his hand.

"Being a class monitor isn't something you can do just by telling a few lame jokes," Liu Hao suddenly scoffed from the side.

"Thanks for reminding me," Lin Chuan turned to look at Liu Hao, not angry at all, still smiling. "By the way, I'm the temporary class monitor now. If you have any questions during military training, you can come to me."

"You!" Liu Hao's face instantly turned extremely ugly. After holding back for a while, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh in public, so he could only grit his teeth, turn around, and walk away.

"Congratulations, class monitor." Zhao Jiajia said to Lin Chuan with a smile, even though she was not elected.

"Thanks."

Zhao Jiajia suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously, "Class monitor, do you have a grudge against Liu Hao?"

"How could that be?" Lin Chuan also looked surprised, but his face was sincere. "I am now the class monitor of Class 5, and I will take care of and love every classmate equally."

Zhao Jiajia laughed and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xue Ren then explained the arrangements and schedule for the military training starting tomorrow, and added, "After you're dismissed, follow your class monitor to collect your school uniforms and military training clothes."

"Okay..." came scattered replies in the classroom, and people began to leave their seats.

"Classmates, before we disperse to collect our clothes, I have something to say," Lin Chuan called out.

The students all looked over, and Lin Chuan continued, "When we get to the school uniform area, please divide into three groups according to your height range of 1.7 meters and 1.8 meters."

"At the same time, boys and girls will be separated so that we can get our school uniforms faster and go home sooner. If you have any special requests, you can tell me separately."

"Okay, class monitor!" Zhao Jiajia was the first to respond. She saluted Lin Chuan, which caused another burst of laughter from the surrounding students.

The students filed out of the classroom, and the once bustling place quickly became empty.

Watching Lin Chuan's departing figure, Xue Ren smiled. It seemed that the class monitor he had chosen was really good.

In the office, he just thought that this boy was quite quick-witted and not rigid, and he wasn't shy when he spoke. He felt that he was a good candidate to be a class leader, so he deliberately called him up to the stage.

Now it seems that Lin Chuan performed even better than he expected. His seemingly simple speech was witty and humorous, and he spoke in a tone that was just right, as if he were giving speeches all the time.

She has just been elected class monitor and has already begun to play a leading role, demonstrating strong action and competence.

"Holy crap, Lao Lin, you actually became the class monitor!" Wang Xu exclaimed in surprise from the corridor outside the classroom.

"Temporary," Lin Chuan said casually.

"That's the class monitor too," Wang Xu said, glancing at his deskmate with a strange look in his eyes.

Even though it had only been a summer vacation, he felt that his deskmate was completely different, especially during his speeches, where he was so confident and composed.

Lin Chuan saw the strange look in the other person's eyes, but smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Your dad will be the squad leader during military training. I'll protect you if anything happens."

Wang Xu was taken aback, and quickly said, "Get out, get out, I don't have a father like you."

"Hey, you unfilial son, remember to invite your dad for a drink of water. We just agreed that if I'm elected class monitor, I'll treat you to a drink of water," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"When did this happen?" Wang Xu asked, completely bewildered.

"Isn't that what I meant when I made eye contact with you before I went on stage?" Lin Chuan asked.

Wang Xu exclaimed "Damn it!" and instantly realized that they were making fun of him.
