Political Commissar had already warned them to ensure his safety, especially psychologically.However, the calmness of Su Can still surprised these officers who specialized in criminal psychology."It'...Chapter 26: On Campus Life
The thick textbooks are filled with notes and diagrams, or simply taking a blissful nap under the beds and fans in a cozy midday sleep. Alternatively, one could choose to spend an afternoon at the open-air swimming pool in the South Campus, listening to amateur CDs while cooling off.
University life is always free and flexible, whether it's expanding social circles, delving into personal studies, attending public lectures for learning, playing games all day, shopping and sightseeing non-stop, chasing after girls or hanging out at bars, or coming up with entrepreneurial plans and organizing a couple of activity evenings. All of these can be pursued according to one’s own interests and plans.
The students at Nan University have always had an air of leisurely elegance. Whether they are the girls discussing cosmetics in the elegant teahouse or the heroes occupying seats in various self-study rooms, most maintain a relaxed attitude.
This is due to the historical and cultural atmosphere left by the university. After students undergo rigorous high school exams and enter Nan University through their individual means, they naturally feel liberated from the previous monotonous high school life.
Previously, it was rote learning under an educational system; now in university, with a different environment and a freer atmosphere, occasionally some elegant beauties emerge from the forested European-style buildings, or bustling activities pop up in certain districts, all contributing to a vibrant campus life.
The activities that Nan University students are eager for aren't anything like campus singer contests or social dance parties; these are generally considered rather insignificant events on campus.
Most people believe such activities are simply a waste of time. The shrewd university students have long outgrown the phase where they care about stars, and even famous celebrities who visit the school receive cold receptions, garnering less attention than motivational speakers. Therefore, contests like singer competitions are just for self-entertainment.
Social dance parties are merely ideal places for lonely boys to meet equally lonely girls.
This place is, after all, different from foreign universities. Social activities are an important aspect in evaluating a student's overall quality. The dance events at Nan University aren't as grand and don't have pageant-like elections for a queen or king. Perhaps the International College may host such events, but generally speaking, their influence is minimal.
Frankly speaking, as one of the top five universities in the nation, it naturally needs to differentiate itself from ordinary colleges. Blindly pursuing star-studded entertainment activities would undermine Nan University's prestigious academic status and the identity of its students. Hence, students generally elevate their focus to mental and spiritual levels.
The naturally popular activities at Nan University are various speeches and debates, success seminars on entrepreneurship, Model United Nations topics, mock court trials, international issues reflection sessions, etc., all of which provide mental stimulation and fulfillment.
Generally speaking, the influence of such events organized by a college's office is quite significant; often they're fully booked with huge crowds attending. Some large lecture halls are packed to capacity, and even students from other departments come as spectators, leaving no empty seats and standing room only. The activities held by the student council are naturally the most bustling and closely watched on campus.
The Nan University Student Council's advantageous position, controlling administrative resources while promoting across the entire university, makes them highly sought after; usually a ticket system is needed to manage the high demand. This guest debate event organized by the student council is no exception.
One must understand how many people want to join the student council and connect with it in some capacity just for opportunities like this. They aim to boost their reputation on campus, stand out as elites among elites within one of China's top five universities, and add a bold stroke to their resume for future career advancement. This is an excellent opportunity.
The ticket given by the Student Council President Fan Qiyi to Su Cen is seen as quite valuable by others.
Zhang Xiaqiao wouldn't blame Tang Wu if she had developed a favorable impression of Su Cen. Perhaps Fan Qiyi genuinely intends to recruit Su Cen into the student council, at least allowing him to receive preferential treatment within the school, such as in excellence evaluations and comprehensive quality assessments.
"Tang Wu, you've actually been selected for the student council" Tong Tong, who had just finished two afternoon classes, placed a discounted LLE bag bought from Jiu Guang on Nan Heng Road on the table. She held up a book to fan herself and looked at Tang Wu in surprise.
Among recent rumors about Tang Wu in her class, the latest is her selection to join the school student council. This isn't surprising; during this period, the student council has been actively recruiting new members across various classes in the Freshman College, with excellent publicity efforts. Moreover, due to events such as the guest debate meeting, the student council always stands out prominently, which goes without saying.
Given that many people are vying for a spot on the school student council, Tang Wu's early selection is indeed quite special.
Tang Wu's entry into the student council was strongly recommended by her senior Mo Xue. As vice-chair of the student council, Mo Xue has been supporting and appreciating Tang Wu ever since she arrived at school. Tang Wu's performance during the welcome party was outstanding, coupled with her impressive resume; she naturally became a prime target for recruitment.
The school student council is about to undergo elections and face various issues. They need people like Tang Wu who are capable of taking on important roles. From the perspective of the current members of the student council, not having someone as talented as Tang Wu join would be a waste of talent. This also upholds the fine tradition that many well-known female students with both beauty and brains serve in leadership positions within the student council.
Mo Xue is very confident in Tang Wu's abilities. Although freshmen may be somewhat inexperienced, this can indeed be a process for nurturing and honing skills. Mo Xue believes that by the time Tang Wu reaches her second or third year, her performance will be remarkable because she has more potential than most others. Apart from a few ambitious female members of the student council, if she were to hand over her position to someone she personally selects, it would bring her greater peace of mind.
Recently returned and having just filled up a cup of water at the drinking fountain, Tang Wu nodded as she sat on the table, opened an economics textbook, and continued taking notes with her slim pen. This pen has been in use for many years now.
In summer, Su Can had given it to her, and it writes increasingly smoothly. Tang Wu felt very comfortable making notes directly on the book or paper, occasionally transferring thoughts onto a scratch pad. The sound of the pen tip meeting the paper produced soft “shhh” sounds. Her phone buzzed beside her with an incoming text message. Tang Wu picked up her phone to reply and smiled slightly.
Needless to say, this message was from Su Can. Tong Tong could tell just by looking.
The dormitory currently only had Tang Wu and Tong Tong present. Tong Tong took the initiative to chat with Tang Wu about student council matters, mentioning various details. Tang Wu responded in kind, engaging in conversation. Tong Tong admired Tang Wu's low-key demeanor: she wasn't as flamboyant as Cheng Congcong but managed to quietly accumulate numerous accomplishments.
When Cheng Congcong waved the ticket in her hand and walked in, she was animatedly excited: "My dear friends, guess what I got. It's an entry ticket for the student council guest debate. Today, a vice-minister from one of the divisions invited me to dinner. The person isn't particularly good-looking but speaks very bluntly, thinking himself superior. I just dealt with him briefly before he insisted on giving me these tickets. However, I've been informed that people are now scrambling for these tickets at thirty yuan each."
"Thirty yuan" Ruan Sige was surprised. "That's enough to buy a hearty hot plate meal in the southern food court. Oh Cheng Congcong, why didn't you just sell them You could have used the money to treat everyone in your dorm to a big dinner."
"With this little amount of money, how can we afford a grand feast It's barely enough for even a tube of lipstick," said Cheng Congcong with a smile. "Besides, if it's about treating us to a feast, shouldn't Su Chan be the one doing that Tang Wu, you should remind your guy."
"I've got four tickets in total. We'll go together and see this famous invitation debate. I want to know what special abilities these renowned figures possess."
Ruan Sige found Cheng Congcong's words always somewhat annoying, making it hard for others to like her. What does she mean by saying thirty yuan isn't even enough for a tube of lipstick Does she think I care so much about money In my life, I don't really lack this kind of money.
So when everyone was chatting, Ruan Sige deliberately brought up the topic that Tang Wu had already been selected into the student council, making Cheng Congcong's face unhappy. The reason she was busy socializing and dealing with the student council was to secure a position in either the cultural or sports department. After all, it was a place where well-known celebrities gathered, so naturally, Cheng Congcong was eager to find her own circle there. She hadn't expected Tang Wu to quietly slip into this circle; of course, she felt uncomfortable about that.
Then she thought back to the swimming pool incident when Su Chan exposed her weaknesses and became furious in her heart. She thought to herself: Next time, I can't let you off so easily, Su Chan. I must treat you harshly and make up for my losses.
The guest debate was held on Friday night. Although Saturday is a statutory weekend day, the event was still packed with people. Even some students who lived in Shanghai and returned home every week were willing to delay their trip to attend this grand occasion.
On the way to the Nanda multipurpose hall, Su Chan and his roommates were waiting on a lawn. Xiao Xu adjusted his glasses and asked: "Boss, is everything okay Will Miss Congcong's dorm really come"
