Chapter 1557: Chapter 748: Party Branch Secretary Yan Fei

In the blink of an eye, student Yan Fei’s first day of university life had officially begun.

Driven by the urge to seek out talent, Yan Fei made his way to the school early in the morning, backpack slung over his shoulder.

He hurried into the classroom and had just found a corner to sit down in the back when he was pondering why there were so few students in class, only to see a line of students coming in from outside, clasping their texts.

A young man stood at the lectern: "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Bin, and for the next four years, I’ll be your counselor. Just like you all are freshmen to university, I’m a new counselor. If there’s anything I don’t do well, don’t hesitate to point it out. We’re all young, so don’t be strangers."

They were indeed all young people; if age were the criterion, the counselor might not even be older than some of the students in the classroom. At least if they stood together, outsiders definitely wouldn’t be able to tell.

"First, let’s hand out textbooks. When I call your name, please come up and give a brief self-introduction so everyone gets to know each other. Don’t be fooled by our small class size—we’re filled with talent, and you’ll see when it’s time for introductions. Now, let’s start with the roll call, He Miao..."

A girl sprang to her feet, breezing up to the lectern and showing no signs of shyness: "Hello everyone, my name is He Miao. The ’He’ of lush lotus leaves, the ’Miao’ of shoots, from Gan Province. I feel very honored to be classmates with all of you."

Then a quick and tidy bow, and that was it.

Lu Bin was still dazed, expecting the girl to say a bit more, but her introduction was so succinct. It got to the point where He Miao had to prompt him softly: "Teacher, my textbooks?"

Coming back to his senses, Lu Bin couldn’t help but laugh at himself: "I thought everyone would share a bit about their talents, but I didn’t expect Ms. He Miao to be so quick... Let’s hand out the books, hand out the books."

Some classmates let out a few giggles, and the atmosphere, which had been a tad tense, immediately relaxed.

After He Miao gathered her hefty stack of books, Lu Bin continued: "My apologies for not making myself clear before. When you come up, try to give a more detailed introduction, ideally mentioning a talent. Later on, we’ll try to quickly elect our class officers, so everyone think it over. If you are interested in running for a class position, feel free to nominate yourself, so later everyone has an idea. Next up, Wang Xiangsheng."

The class really didn’t have many people, and the gender ratio in this major—well, it was pretty scarce in terms of female students. Out of forty-something people in a class, there were only nine girls.

The second person to come up, this male student, looked even older than Lu Bin. He was quite nervous on the podium: "Hello, everybody, my name is Wang Xiangsheng, from Zhou City. It’s an honor for... all of us to be classmates."

The students were taken aback for a moment, and then someone laughed out loud. Although the laughter was quickly suppressed, the classroom atmosphere relaxed considerably once again.

After Lu Bin handed the textbooks to Wang Xiangsheng, he added, "Wang Xiangsheng might be a bit nervous, but he achieved the highest college entrance exam score in our class this year—696 points. That’s several dozen points above the Key School’s score line. Isn’t that an impressive achievement?"

"Impressive, impressive!" Perhaps due to the improved mood in the classroom, a few of the more lively boys chimed in jokingly.

Wang Xiangsheng’s face turned red, unsure of what to say, just shyly smiling a little.

Yan Fei quickly flipped open the notebook under his hand and jotted down a few words: Wang Xiangsheng, college entrance exam score 696. Personality: honest...

After writing it down, he closed the notebook and continued to sit upright, waiting for Lu Bin to call the next student’s name—he meant what he said about creating a profile for his classmates, preparing to make a move early on to attract them to his own ’turf’ was not just talk.

Taking advantage of the moment before Lu Bin called the next name, He Miao, who had introduced herself first, stood up again: "Hello everyone, I would like to add to my self-introduction. My specialty is singing and dancing, and I’m also not bad at sports. I plan to run for the position of cultural and sports committee member in class, hoping for your support."

Lu Bin responded quickly, immediately leading a round of applause—having class introductions like the ones before wouldn’t mean much. It was essential to have a few who were more active, regardless of whether they were boys or girls; otherwise, it would be troublesome if they couldn’t elect class officers later on.

The applause was very enthusiastic, likely also because He Miao was considered one of the more attractive girls among the nine in the class, even if her short hair made her look somewhat tomboyish. Her big eyes and long eyelashes instantly added a lot of points to her overall appearance.

It was only natural, in a class with such a stark gender imbalance, that the applause was a bit more enthusiastic for a girl like this—truly normal.

With the applause, He Miao seemed a bit shy, nodding at everyone around before taking her seat.

Lu Bin said with a smile, "University is different from high school; aside from studying hard, we will also participate in social practice in the future. Don’t underestimate the role of class officers; it will be beneficial for everyone’s job hunting later on. Additionally, expanding your network has its advantages. So, I suggest everyone be proactive—if you have skills, you need to show them off. If you keep quiet, how will everyone know your talent? Alright, let’s continue with the next student..."

The students’ spirits remained easy to uplift, and as the self-introductions continued, many spoke a bit more. Some introduced specialties from their hometowns, and a small number actively nominated themselves for class office. There was even a funny guy who claimed his special talent was wielding a broadsword on stage.
