Chapter 31

Zhong Jiancheng, the general manager of Jiangling District’s Shentong Express Delivery, was not willing to change his general agent at the School for Finance and Economics for the time being. However, he did propose a condition of a hundred packages a day.

Chen Hansheng did not want to simply achieve that rate. He wanted to be able to voice his opinions and contribute in a different way. He needed to formulate his ideas and find a way to get them across.

When military training had officially ended, various clubs on campus started recruiting new members. However, there were more important things to do in the class. Chen Hansheng was in discussion with Hu Linyu. “Recently, I’ve been thinking about running for the students’ union president. So, please bear with me because our workload will increase.”

Hu Linyu was a little confused. “Aren’t you going to do business in the future? Why are you going after this now?”

Chen Hansheng explained seriously to Hu Linyu. “Business requires an all-rounded person. I don’t have money or resources. If I want to appeal to others, I will have to strengthen my weaknesses. Then, it will be easier for me to appeal to and convince others.”

“But I also want to join the students’ union,” said Hu Linyu unhappily.

“Don’t mess around. Just focus on your classwork. When I become the president of the students’ union, I’ll recruit you and give you a good position.”

After Chen Hansheng said that, he left. Hu Linyu was still dissatisfied but there was nothing she could do at this point.

Each department at the university had its own students’ union, and each students’ union had different committees to handle various aspects of the union’s responsibilities. Hansheng was most interested in the external relations committee in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences’ students’ union since it best suited his interest and would be more beneficial for his future business ventures.

Though the School of Finance and Economics was not on par with Donghai University, it still had quite a student population, especially in Hansheng’s department. Thus, by the time Chen Hansheng arrived at the department’s students’ union building in the afternoon, there were already many freshmen waiting in line outside the interview rooms.

He walked over to the external relations committee’s interview room and didn’t expect to see his classmates there, and they were all girls. His fellow townsman, Tan Min, was also there. When they saw Chen Hansheng, they greeted him in surprise.

“Class President, are you going to join the students’ union too?”

“Yes, to represent Public Administration Class 2,” said Chen Hansheng with a smile.

A few girls laughed. After discussing with each other, they prepared to leave. “Class President, we will join other committees, then. We can’t have too many of us in one. We have to divide and conquer.”

Chen Hansheng knew that they wanted to reduce the competition. He smiled and waved his hand as they left. “Okay, don’t buy breakfast tomorrow morning. It’s my treat.”

Before Tan Min left, she even wished Chen Hansheng luck. “Aim for Assistant Officer.”

At this moment, a junior or senior happened to pass by. When he heard Tan Min’s words, he turned to look at Chen Hansheng and walked into the interview room with a sneer.

Today was only the preliminary screening of interested freshmen, so each candidate was given a short time slot. Soon, it was Chen Hansheng’s turn.

Chen Hansheng walked in and found a woman and two men on either side of her facing him as they sat at a table. Based on their seating arrangement, the woman must be the head officer and the two men were her deputies.

They even had name placards on the table in front of them. The head officer was Qi Wei and the deputies were Zhou Xiao and Yao Qingguo.

Zhou Xiao was the senior who had glanced at Chen Hansheng earlier.

Chen Hansheng smiled as he walked in. He nodded to the officers. Qi Wei and Yao Qingguo also nodded slightly, indicating that Chen Hansheng could begin his self-introduction.

However, at this moment, Zhou Xiao suddenly interrupted him. “You don’t have to. The external relations committee wants to recruit a girl. You obviously don’t meet the requirements.”

“What?”

Chen Hansheng was dumbfounded for a moment. He thought to himself, ‘What kind of f*cking reason is this? What’s his problem?’

Qi Wei and Yao Qingguo were also very surprised. It was obvious that they had not expected this.
