At 10 o'clock sharp, mentor Li Jinhui walked into the classroom right on time.

He was accompanied by his counselor, Qin Ya, who was around 30 years old, dressed in a well-fitting business suit and had a capable demeanor.

She introduced herself as someone who had just returned from studying abroad, and was in charge of twelve classes, leaving only a few minutes for each class.

After a brief greeting, he hurriedly left, leaving the podium to Li Jinhui.

Li Jinhui briefly explained a few points to note before starting the self-introduction session.

"We all come from different parts of the country, so let's all introduce ourselves. Please briefly state your name, hometown, special skills, and hobbies so that we can get to know each other."

Everyone took turns introducing themselves in order of their student ID numbers.

During this time, Lin Ran didn't listen carefully; he was still thinking about how to sneak into the entrepreneurship competition by getting in touch with Wang Lijun.

"Anyone want to run for class committee?" Li Jinhui's question interrupted Lin Ran's train of thought.

"Brother Hui, could you tell me which class committee members are eligible to run?" someone asked from below.

"In our college, student affairs are generally handled by three main class officers: the class monitor, the Youth League secretary, and the academic representative."

When the topic turned to the class monitor, Li Jinhui glanced at Lin Ran, his implication clear.

He genuinely hoped that Lin Ran would run for class monitor. There was an unwritten rule in the School of Economics that the class monitor was usually a male, while the branch secretary of the Communist Youth League and the academic representative were female.

At least Li Jinhui has never heard of a female class monitor in the college so far.

"The other class committee members are responsible for various detailed tasks, such as the life committee member, the psychology committee member, the sports committee member, etc..."

However, the election results were unexpected by some.

"I want to run for class monitor."

A clear, crisp female voice rang out first. It was He Yuwei, the girl who had introduced herself earlier. She was tall, with bright eyes, and seemed very assertive.

"I'd also like to try running for class monitor."

The other voice was slightly weaker, but firm in tone; it belonged to a quiet girl named Sun Xiaoyu.

Whispers filled the classroom.

A girl running for class monitor? Li Jinhui was slightly taken aback; this was not common in the School of Economics.

Immediately afterwards, some of the boys stood up.

"Hello everyone, my name is Cao Feng, and I would like to run for class monitor," Cao Feng said confidently. He was wearing a shirt and his hair was neatly combed.

Li Jinhui looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran stood up slowly under everyone's gaze. He didn't speak immediately, but first glanced around before opening his mouth.

"Lin Ran, I'm also running for class monitor."

The sudden appearance of four candidates for class monitor surprised both Li Jinhui and the other students in the class.

"Great, it seems the students are very enthusiastic."

"Then let's invite the four candidates to come up on stage one by one and explain their campaign ideas."

"Let's start with He Yuwei."

He Yuwei and Sun Xiaoyu took turns speaking on stage.

"Hello everyone, my name is He Yuwei. I served as a student council officer in high school for two years, and I know that the core of student work is..."

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Xiaoyu. I believe that a good class should pay more attention to every individual who needs help..."

Both mentioned their desire to break with past practices and prove that girls can also be good class monitors, promising to be attentive and responsible and pay attention to the needs of each classmate.

The difference is that He Yuwei appeared more confident and decisive, while Sun Xiaoyu appeared more gentle and sincere.

Lin Ran shook his head after listening to their statements.

I thought to myself, I was under the control of my homeroom teacher for three years in high school, and now that I've finally escaped, who would want someone watching over them every day?

Do you really think we're here to repeat our senior year of high school?

These people are only thinking about what time the power will be cut off, where the internet speed is fastest, how to skip class without getting caught, and how to have a passionate romance. Who wants to listen to your nonsense?

When it was the boys' turn, Cao Feng was the first to go on stage.

"My name is Cao Feng, I'm a local, and I believe I know Jiangning better than most people..."

Lin Ran shook her head as she listened to the speeches. Cao Feng's confidence was clearly not as strong as the two girls'. Lin Ran estimated that if she hadn't participated in the election, their class might actually have had a female class monitor.

It was Lin Ran's turn.

He slowly left his seat and walked onto the podium, his steps casual yet steady.

He didn't speak immediately, but slowly scanned every face in the audience.

Then he laughed, a laugh that was both frank and flamboyant.

"My reason for running for class monitor is simple: I want to make things simpler."

"I'm talking about the trivial matters in the class—notices, forms, all sorts of small arrangements. I'll coordinate them so everyone can have more time to study, play games..."

"Of course, there's also dating."

He spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, and a knowing chuckle rippled through the audience.

"Of course, the three students who spoke before me all gave excellent presentations. Compared to them, I don't seem to have any outstanding advantages."

At this point, he sighed heavily, as if what he was about to say was difficult to bring up.

"And when I was class monitor in high school, because..."

"Covering up a classmate who skipped class..."

The classroom suddenly fell silent.

"Helping a classmate forge a sick leave slip." He Yuwei frowned.

"Answering for someone else." Sun Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

"Let my classmate copy my homework."

"Forging the entire class's notes."

"Some of my bad behavior... I was even disciplined by the teacher."

He paused, then added sincerely, "These are all minor issues. The main problem is with me...."

"Knowing you're wrong, but not correcting it."

Lin Ran observed the reactions of his subordinates; with each comment he made, several more people's eyes lit up.

He knew very well that the most popular position among classmates was that of class monitor, who was transformed from a so-called manager into the leader of their own people.

Qin Ya, the counselor who happened to be passing by, stopped in her tracks and frowned deeply when she heard Lin Ran's speech.

Quiet, deathly silence.

He Yuwei and Sun Xiaoyu's expressions froze, and Cao Feng's lips twitched slightly.

Ding Facai, Lin Ran's number one lackey, was the first to react, raising his arm and shouting, "Squad Leader!"

That sound was like flipping a switch, and the others joined in the commotion: "Squad leader! Squad leader!"

The voting results were as expected: Lin Ran was elected with an overwhelming number of votes, while He Yuwei and Sun Xiaoyu were elected as the branch secretary and study committee member, respectively.

It's clear that Lin Ran is in a good mood.

He stood up, walked to the students, and gestured for them to be quiet.

Dozens of eyes focused on him.

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely do my best to be a good class monitor."

He paused, then shrugged slightly and uttered a sentence:

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."

"Actually, I'm tall, rich, and handsome."

Upon hearing this, Ding Facai looked at Lin Ran in disbelief, "Those are my fucking lyrics!"

"Pfft—" Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing first.

Lin Ran looked at everyone and a smile played on his lips.

"To thank everyone for their support..."

"I'll organize a class trip every year for the four years of university, and I'll cover all the expenses!"

Since his classmates were so supportive, he decided to indulge himself.

The classroom was quiet for a moment, then a burst of shouts echoed throughout the hallway.

"Our squad leader is awesome!"

"Our class monitor is so magnanimous!"

After the crowd had completely quieted down, a flamboyant voice came from somewhere: "Hello, generous brother!"

Lin Ran chuckled: "Thank you, but my surname isn't Fang."

"Also, remember to use your job title when you're at work."
