Chapter 207 Organizational Ability
The Clothing Engineering Class 1 has five male dormitories and five female dormitories, so ten dormitory heads should be selected.
The position of dormitory head may seem like a minor title, but in a broader sense, he is the brain of the entire dormitory. In the future, he will be responsible for coordinating all matters, big and small, and organizing all activities.
After all, universities are based on dormitories.
Lu Yuan was originally the most suitable candidate, but he had already taken on the important task of class monitor. If he were to also serve as dormitory head, he would inevitably be stretched thin.
Therefore, the candidates for dormitory head of Room 108 fell to Wu Kun, Zhong Daming, and Liu Yujie.
They need to choose a reliable person themselves.
Initially, none of the three were very willing, since none of them wanted to take on extra responsibility for no reason.
It wasn't until Lu Yuan was about to take the list to the counselor for registration and reporting that they panicked and started passing the buck to each other.
After some haggling, Zhong Daming and Liu Yujie surprisingly reached a tacit agreement and joined forces to promote Wu Kun to the position of dormitory head.
To put it bluntly, Wu Kun is a real rough and tough guy.
His college entrance exam score was at the bottom of his class, which was consistent with his unpretentious personality and rugged appearance.
Of course, this "bottom ranking" only applies to Class 1, a class where top students compete fiercely. Looking at the whole country, his score is still quite impressive.
Unfortunately, he wasn't good with words and easily got taken advantage of when trying to reason with people. He was easily swayed by Zhong Daming and Liu Yujie's twisted logic and ended up taking on the job without really understanding what was going on.
And so, the decision on the dormitory head for Room 108 was made, and Wu Kun was honorably elected.
After dealing with these trivial matters in the class, Lu Yuan was finally able to catch his breath and picked up his phone to chat with Ye Yixian.
Ye Yixian had already returned to his dormitory and was surrounded by his roommates.
Because both she and Jiang Yiqing knew Lu Yuan, they could corroborate each other's information, so their roommates kept pestering them to find out more about Lu Yuan.
Seeing Lu Yuan's flawless face and aloof, otherworldly demeanor in person, the girls' eyes lit up with envy, and they couldn't wait to praise Ye Yixian to the skies.
When they learned that Lu Yuan had prepared a grand confession for Ye Yixian during evening self-study in high school, they immediately went wild, clamoring to see the photos and videos.
Ye Yixian didn't want to make a fuss, but she couldn't resist everyone's persistent pleading, so she had no choice but to show them the photos or videos she had saved.
These pieces of evidence were taken by her classmates before being shared with her, the person involved.
After watching it, the roommates covered their faces and screamed, wishing they could be Ye Yixian on the spot.
"Yixian, your boyfriend is so romantic!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're simply the luckiest girl in the entire universe!"
"Yixian, does your boyfriend have any brothers? Introduce us to one!"
The girls chattered away like a flock of happy little sparrows.
Ye Yixian's cheeks flushed and her heart pounded as she was praised. She could only blush and wave her hands repeatedly, unable to keep up with the compliments.
Upon learning of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, unable to suppress the little bit of pride in his heart.
He then thought that this was a good opportunity to organize a social gathering, introduce his new friends to each other, satisfy the girls' curiosity, and expand his network.
In the university town, it's common for students from different schools to visit each other. Hundreds of thousands of university students gather in this area, forming an inseparable little society.
This is a market with huge potential, but how to tap into it still needs careful consideration.
Right now, everyone's conversation is still focused on the military training next Monday when Gao Zhe's message pops up, inviting him to go out for a walk over the weekend.
If you come to the provincial capital to study at university, wouldn't it be a waste to stay in your dorm room on weekends?
Lu Yuan asked Ye Yixian for her opinion and learned that Wang Qingyu had also invited her. The four of them hit it off immediately and decided to take advantage of the weekend to go out and explore.
Lu Yuan felt empty inside after not seeing Ye Yixian for several days.
Nowadays, even smooth video calls are difficult with 3G networks, and making phone calls is painfully slow, so meeting in person has become the most anticipated thing.
For the next two days, Lu Yuan walked with an air of superiority, in an exceptionally good mood.
However, there are still many things to do before the weekend, such as moving books.
It's unclear when exactly, but moving books has become a "task exclusively for boys." However, boys aren't made of iron, and many of them have their reluctance written all over their faces.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan turned to Ning Xiao, the female class monitor, and suggested, "How about the boys move the books and the girls bring back all the class's military training uniforms?"
In this way, both boys and girls have something to do, and no one is at a disadvantage; it's perfectly fair.
Ning Xiao understood immediately, and under her guidance, most of the girls readily agreed.
The counselor had been secretly observing the abilities of the two class leaders, and seeing how well they cooperated, he secretly nodded in approval.
Lu Yuan also looked at Ning Xiao with new respect. He had to admit that this girl was decisive and efficient, and was indeed class monitor material.
By the time I received my books and military training uniform, it was already Friday.
Since the three classes of the Apparel Engineering program will often take common courses together, the counselor arranged this joint class meeting to allow students from the three classes to get to know each other.
Lu Yuan and Ning Xiao immediately took action, contacting the class leaders of the other two classes to finalize details such as snack procurement and activity procedures.
The class leaders of the other two classes are also opinionated and capable individuals, making communication seamless and highly efficient.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "There are indeed hidden talents in higher education institutions. None of them who can become class monitors are easy to deal with."
He secretly rejoiced that he was a reborn person, with twenty years of experience and mindset; otherwise, with his naive and slow-witted self from his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with these people's pace.
This social gathering not only included freshmen, but also many senior students from the same major. With new and old faces meeting, the atmosphere should have been lively.
Moreover, many people had already heard that there was a stunning beauty named Xu Lingjing in Class One, and they were all waiting to see her beauty tonight.
It wasn't until Friday night that Lu Yuan realized that the girls in Class 1 were indeed the most beautiful among the three classes, and everyone had finally gotten their wish of entering a class with outstanding looks.
The event was held on the playground. That night, not only the Clothing Engineering major, but other majors also held social events, making the entire playground as lively as a boiling pot.
The upperclassmen were already used to this kind of scene. Some classes even went off-campus. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many students in the Clothing Engineering program and it was difficult to manage them, Lu Yuan would also like to take a group out for some fun.
But as everyone gradually arrived, Lu Yuan realized that something was wrong.
The boys and girls don't seem to fit in. They either stick together in groups based on their dorm rooms, or they get together to eat snacks and chat. They are clearly separated, as if there is an invisible wall between them.
Forget about striking up a conversation, they barely even make eye contact.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly.
If everyone can't even remember all their names and has little interest, what's the point of having a get-together?
The other class leaders looked at each other, hoping that the other could come up with a way to break the ice.
After all, this social gathering was not spontaneously organized, but rather a "collective assignment" given by the counselor, and a summary report had to be submitted afterward.
If we just sit there eating snacks and going through the motions, how will we explain it to our counselor when we get back?
