After that phone call, Adrian Lin felt very uneasy for a while. Being told by a peer that "I like you" or "I am attracted to you" is not something to be proud of.
Adrian Lin felt that she did not have the magnetic force to attract people of the same S3x, whether in terms of figure or appearance.
I don't have strong muscles to arouse the desire to conquer my peers, nor do I have a weak face to arouse the desire to protect my peers.
Then the problem was not with me, but with Daniel Ye.
Thinking of this, Adrian Lin felt a lot more comfortable.
In order to avoid Daniel Ye's harassment, Adrian Lin went to the barber shop to cut his hair shorter, making him look more handsome and energetic. There was no part of his body that could be described with words such as weak, melancholy, etc.
Just as Adrian Lin hoped, Daniel Ye never appeared in front of him again.
At the end of September, the military training finally ended amid earth-shaking shouts of "Hello, students," "Hello, principal," "Thank you for your hard work, students," and "Bring glory to the school."
A month of military training has made the freshmen miserable. Everyone is looking forward to the seven-day National Day holiday after the training. The school’s major clubs, student unions, the Youth League Committee and other official and non-governmental organizations have taken this opportunity to promote and recruit new members.
For a while, the long school road was covered with colorful posters.
"Do you like dancing? Do you want to have your own stage? What are you waiting for? Join us now! Dance troupe, dance out youth, dance out passion!"
"Sing the passion of youth, listen to the touching of life, the choir is our common home! You are beautiful because of the choir, and the choir is wonderful because of you!"
"Do you like adventure? Do you believe in miracles? The Exploration Association is here to meet you!"
...
However, among the many colorful promotional posters, the student union’s new banner is exceptionally simple and plain, like a patch of horsetail grass among peonies.
A red banner with some big embarrassing words on it.
The school student union welcomes you to join.
The time and location of the interview, as well as the location where the registration form can be picked up, are written in the lower right corner.
It really is Adrian Lin's style, simple and clear.
Daniel Ye paused in front of the banner, then turned around and took a registration form from the dormitory manager. He picked up a pen and quickly filled it out before handing it back to the manager.
In the school's public conference room, the backbone members of the student union are sorting out the registration forms.
Adrian Lin was sitting in front of the computer writing a work plan for the entire semester, but was suddenly interrupted by an excited voice.
"Haha, there is actually such a personal profile! He said that you can't understand a person through the profile. And that's it."
"Who is this, making such a prank? Daniel Ye?"
Adrian Lin's heart skipped a beat. Daniel Ye? Was he really going to come to the Student Union? Was it because of me?
Adrian Lin took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and not think too much about it.
"Let me see his form." Adrian Lin calmly picked up the form on the table and looked at it carefully.
Name: Daniel Ye Gender: Male Major: Clinical Medicine
Campaign department: Secretariat, Cultural and Entertainment Department
Personal profile: You cannot know a person through his profile.
My strengths in thinking I am qualified for this position: I am confident and have enough ability to do the job well.
Previous positions held and awards received: Past glory does not guarantee future success.
Suggestions for the Student Union: I hope that the President of the Student Union, Adrian Lin, can be more friendly so that students don’t feel too distant.
After reading this controversial application form, looking at the large blank spaces and the conspicuous pen words, Adrian Lin suddenly laughed.
This Daniel Ye is a really interesting person.
You are quite arrogant. Let me see if you have the capital to be arrogant.
The student union interview is scheduled in the evening, which coincides with the time schedule for other clubs.
All the small classrooms on the second floor of the teaching building have been borrowed by the Student Union, from 201 to 209, nine rooms and nine departments.
There are labels on the door: Study Department, Entertainment Department, Public Relations Department, Practice Department, Sports Department, etc.
After Daniel Ye arrived on the second floor, he was shocked by the spectacular scene. He didn't expect that there were so many people coming for the interview.
However, Daniel Ye's confidence was not affected in the slightest.
Many students were preparing their personal introductions outside the door, while Daniel Ye was walking around leisurely as if he was traveling.
Compared with the formal attire of other students, Daniel Ye seemed a little too casual.
Black tight jeans, a shiny silver belt, a black T-shirt with a big skull painted on the chest.
Unruly and uninhibited.
This is the first impression a stranger has of him.
"Daniel Ye, it's your turn." A young girl who had just come out of the secretariat for an interview shouted to the crowd. Her eyes were red, and she was probably scared.
Daniel Ye smiled and nodded at her, then opened the door, walked in, and stood on the podium.
There was a row of old student union members sitting in the audience, which was very spectacular and gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
Daniel Ye smiled naturally and immediately glanced at the former secretary-general Adrian Lin who was sitting in the middle.
"Well, please introduce yourself first." Adrian Lin was quite graceful. She glanced at the skull on his chest lightly and smiled at Daniel Ye very...kindly.
"I'm Daniel Ye, a freshman majoring in clinical medicine. I'm 1.86 meters tall, weigh 65 kilograms, and have skin..."
"OK, next step." Adrian Lin frowned and ended his weird personal introduction part early, "Why are you running for the Secretariat?"
"Because I like it."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"So, what do you think the responsibilities of the Secretariat are?" Adrian Lin continued to ask.
"Adjusting various departments, division of labor and cooperation will make the entire student union more harmonious."
"What do you think are your strengths?"
"I think the student union should be a high-speed locomotive, not a broken cart pulled by an old ox. A high-speed locomotive needs an efficient lubricant to adjust the friction between the locomotive parts. I have the confidence and ability to become this lubricant and let everyone work comfortably."
"You are very eloquent." Lin smiled. "What do you think you can bring to the Student Union? And what can the Student Union bring to you?"
"A ball of fire and a pile of firewood. When firewood meets fire, the fire burns more vigorously, and at the same time, you can also enjoy the passion of burning. I am the firewood, and you... are the fire."
"Ahem..." Adrian Lin coughed, avoiding his fiery gaze. "You also filled in the Cultural and Entertainment Department in your form?"
"Yes."
"Then you can go to the Cultural and Recreation Department for an interview now. The preliminary interview results will be announced tomorrow. Wait for a phone call."
"Okay." Daniel Ye bowed slightly to the audience, then walked out gracefully.
Adrian Lin let out a breath and pinched the sweat from his palms.
This person cannot be underestimated...
***
The moment Daniel Ye pushed the door open, the recreational classroom, which had been filled with constant noise, suddenly became quiet.
"He is Daniel Ye, right?" Bi Ling, deputy director of the Cultural and Entertainment Department, leaned close to Natalie Wen's ear and whispered.
"Well, I thought he wasn't coming. It was his turn for the interview just now, but he wasn't here." Natalie Wen frowned, as if thinking about something.
"Oh, maybe you're late." Bi Ling nodded in understanding, "Daniel Ye, right?"
"Yes."
"Why are you interested in joining the Cultural and Entertainment Department?" Natalie Wen asked with a smile.
"I am looking forward to working with Sister Natalie Wen."
"Oh?" Natalie Wen lowered her head and glanced at his form. "You have already had an interview at the secretariat?"
"Yes."
"Then, there's no need to write a personal profile. As you said, a profile is not enough to understand a person." Natalie Wen shook the form in her hand. "Just through this sentence, I already have a certain understanding of you."
"So what do I need to say? What do I think the Recreation Department does? Or, what do I think are my strengths?"
Natalie Wen gave him a meaningful look and said, "It seems that your interview just now was not pleasant."
"On the contrary, it was very pleasant."
Natalie Wen flipped through the notebook in her hand, then said something to Bi Ling next to her and made a few ticks with a pen.
"Then please answer a few questions."
"Please say."
"If you are the director of a gala, and during the gala some programs suddenly have problems and cannot be performed, how would you like to deal with it?"
"Bring up the following program."
"If there is a sudden power outage during a party and all the lights and sound systems are unusable, what will you do?"
"Cancel the party."
"What do you think is the best time of the semester for the Cultural and Recreation Department to hold a party?"
"After the midterm exam."
"In addition to traditional evening parties, what other activities do you think can enrich students' extracurricular life?"
"Masquerade balls, garden parties, various competitions, and so on."
"Then, when you go back, write a plan for the Mid-Autumn Festival Garden Party." Natalie Wen smiled slightly, "You have passed the preliminary test of the Cultural and Entertainment Department."
"Okay. Thanks."
Daniel Ye nodded and turned to leave.
"Senior sister, did you pass like this?" Bi Ling asked puzzledly.
"His thinking is rather...peculiar, and he is decisive in his actions, like a general. Compared to the nervousness, stuttering and timidity of others, the confidence and frankness he showed during the interview are very valuable." Natalie Wen smiled slightly, "I admire him."
"He dances very well, Senior Sister, why not recruit him to join the dance troupe."
"This is not an easy matter." Natalie Wen picked up the pen and nonchalantly drew a few crosses on the paper. "Of course, if Adrian Lin is willing to come forward, that would be another matter."
After Daniel Ye returned to the dormitory, he received a text message from Adrian Lin.
"The Secretariat needs a more gentle person, and you are not suitable. I believe you can display your talents in the Cultural and Recreation Department, and you are needed there. Welcome to join the Student Union, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. Adrian Lin."
Daniel Ye read the text message carefully and snorted coldly. As expected, it was neither humble nor arrogant, neither cold nor indifferent, and there was no emotion of like or dislike.
"Thank you, Senior. I believe it will be a pleasant experience."
Then came another text message from Natalie Wen.
"Some things, when eaten, may get stuck in the throat. Even if they pass through the esophagus smoothly, they may not be digested. Even if they are barely digested, they may cause bacterial dysentery. Therefore, I advise you not to eat them lightly before you are sure that they are safe to eat. Eating without choosing food when hungry often leads to serious consequences."
"I eat what I like. Whether I can digest it or not is a matter for the future. It's better than having someone else snatch it away before I even eat it, right? Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister."
