After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Chuan went back to his room, took a quick shower, and then went next door. Chen Xiyu was still sitting on the sofa, holding her iPad and watching videos.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Photography Instruction"

"This isn't something you can just shoot based on gut feeling," Lin Chuan said. "You're not a professional photographer."

Chen Xiyu thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense."

Lin Chuan sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer, and pulled up the saved document. Looking at the beginning he had written, he thought for a moment and made some simple deletions and revisions. The original beginning of more than 30,000 words was reduced to less after the deletions and revisions.

This story is actually a short story he wrote before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come up with a story so quickly. However, it's just a revised version of his previous story.

Finally, he completed the title and synopsis, creating the beginning of the novel. He didn't rush to publish or submit it, because he needed to save up some manuscripts.

Given the intensity of classes at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, plus homework and other assignments, he only has a little time each evening to write novels.

In this situation, it's still necessary to save up some drafts. After all, his high school life has just begun, and there's still a long time ahead. Everything can be done slowly.

After finishing all that, Lin Chuan stretched and shut down his computer. Just as he stood up, his phone rang. It was a short text message.

"Lin Chuan, congratulations on passing the first round of the student council's selection process. Please attend the interview tomorrow at 17:40 PM in Room 101 of the Student Activity Center."

…………

The following afternoon.

The student activity center of the No. 1 High School is actually a two-story white-walled building. At this moment, many freshmen, both boys and girls, are sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

They were all preparing for student council interviews. A few students would occasionally come and go from the closed rooms. Some looked natural and smug, probably because they had done well in the interviews, while others looked stiff.

Some of the people sitting outside looked nervous and kept looking down at their phones, as if they were memorizing something.

Lin Chuan sat in a chair, glancing at his phone now and then, yawning now and then. He just felt a little bored. In his eyes, the high school student council was a complete charade.

A boy wearing an armband walked out of the room and called out, "Is Lin Chuan from Class 5 of Grade 11 here? It's your turn for the interview."

Lin Chuan got up and, led by the boy, pushed open the door to room 101.

The interior looks like a meeting office, with a square solid wood round office table and many benches on both sides.

Across from the desk sat a man and a woman. The man wore frameless glasses and had a somewhat handsome face. When the woman saw Lin Chuan enter, she greeted him warmly with a gentle smile.

"Junior, we meet again?"

"Senior Sister Sun Yan?" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

I didn't expect the president of this literary society to be from the student council, and the fact that he's sitting here conducting interviews means he's probably the head of the organization department that I'm interviewing for.

Although it's just a high school student council, it still has quite a few departments, including the executive committee, the "Academic Department," the "Discipline Department," the "Organization Department," and so on...

"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm also in the student council," Sun Yan said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that." Lin Chuan sat down opposite the two of them.

Lin Chuan looked at the two people sitting together and suddenly felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place them.

"Don't you think we look familiar?" Sun Yan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

"Um."

"The cultural performance during your first-year high school military training was hosted by him and me," Sun Yan said.

"I see."

"Before the interview, I'd like to ask you a question," Sun Yan changed the subject, "Do you like literature?"

"Senior, is this kind of question considered a student council interview question?" Lin Chuan asked.

Sun Yan also laughed, clearly joking.

"Let me introduce you, Chu Wenle, your senior in the second year of high school, and also the president of our student council. I am the vice president of the student council and the head of the organization department," Sun Yan's expression became more serious. "Next, we'll interview you together. Are you ready?"

"Mm." Lin Chuan nodded.

"What kind of organization do you think the student council is?" Sun Yan asked, looking at him. "Describe it simply in one sentence."

Lin Chuan was also in the student union in college, so he knew the student union interview process.

Generally, the first step should be a self-introduction, followed by questions such as: Why are you applying to the student council? If there is a conflict between student council work and studies, how will you handle it? What are your strengths?

Sun Yan's question didn't seem like the first question asked when interviewing a freshman; she probably wanted to test his adaptability.

If it were a typical first-year high school student, this completely unconventional question would probably leave them completely bewildered.

But Lin Chuan blurted out without much thought, "Simply put, the student union is an autonomous organization that represents students and serves their interests. It is also an important communication bridge between the school and the students."

"Suppose you join the organization department and are planning a meeting for new and returning students, what aspects would you focus on to prevent it from becoming a mere formality?" Sun Yan continued to ask.

"First and foremost, we must conduct preliminary research," Lin Chuan said without hesitation. "We need to collect opinions and experiences from freshmen and senior students within a certain scope; the format also needs to be innovative, such as rotating groups based on specific themes; most importantly, the core idea of ​​the organization still needs to be to allow students to get to know each other and communicate, rather than it being an activity for the organizers to entertain themselves."

After hearing this, the two people at the opposite table subconsciously exchanged a glance.

The pace of the Q&A session suddenly quickened, ranging from how to handle departmental conflicts to balancing studies and work, becoming increasingly detailed and even somewhat pointed.

But Lin Chuan's answer remained clear and unhurried, as if everything was exactly as he had expected.

The interview was originally planned to last ten minutes, but it's almost been twenty minutes already. The conversation has shifted from student council work to hobbies, books I've recently read, favorite movies, and so on...

"I heard you can play basketball? And you even led your class to victory in the class competition during military training?" Sun Yan asked.

"It's the result of everyone working together in the class," Lin Chuan said.

Sun Yan glanced at the time on her watch. "Alright, Lin Chuan, that concludes our interview for today. Please keep an eye out for further announcements from the student council regarding the results."

"Okay, thank you, seniors." Lin Chuan stood up, nodded slightly, and then left the room.

The office door closed, and about ten seconds later...

"What do you think of this junior?" Sun Yan turned to look at Chu Wenle beside her.

"To be honest, if I didn't know he was a freshman in high school, I would have thought he was a student council member from another school," Chu Wenle said.

"Indeed, as a freshman, he seems too mature and composed. I even asked Mr. Xue Ren, and he said that Lin Chuan also performed very well during military training, and the instructors had a very high opinion of him," Sun Yan said.

"These freshmen these days don't seem like freshmen at all," Chu Wenle remarked. "I was just thinking that if I were sitting across from him, I probably wouldn't perform any better."

"Hey, Chairman Chu, you're our chairman, can you please stop saying that? Have some self-respect," Sun Yan said, rubbing her forehead. "If you think you can't even compare to a freshman, what are we student council members supposed to do?"

"I didn't really want to be the chairman, and I don't think I'm very suitable for this job," Chu Wenle said with a wry smile. "You didn't come when I offered you the position."

"I'm perfectly content with being a deputy," Sun Yan patted Chu Wenle on the shoulder. "I believe in you, Chairman!"

Chu Wenle smiled helplessly. When the election for president was held, he and Sun Yan were nominated, but Sun Yan gave up.

He said, "This freshman has passed the interview and will be working in your organization department from now on. I'll have Chen Dong notify him later."

"Hey, wait a minute," Sun Yan said, "I think this junior performed very well in the interview, but his ideological awareness is not enough. I need to test him further."

"What are you up to now?" Chu Wenle asked.

Sun Yan smiled but remained silent.
