Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

"So what if it's the same?" Xiao Haiyang said with a long face. "Every year after the exam, we hand in the test papers, and there are no answers available outside. For someone like me who is bad at English, isn't it still the same?"

Ye Jiping rubbed his nose: "Uh... that's true. Let's get back to the main topic!"

"Today we'll elect class officers. First, we'll elect a class monitor. You can volunteer or recommend someone else."

"Although there is some utilitarian aspect to it, class officers can earn two extra credits each year, so I hope everyone can be more proactive."

As soon as Ye Jiping finished speaking, Zhong Bai stood up abruptly and said, "I recommend Lu Qiaochuan to be the class monitor."

Lu Qiaochuan, who thought this matter had nothing to do with him, was preparing to watch the drama unfold.

Unexpectedly, the gossip has now turned into something he has to watch himself, leaving Lu Qiaochuan completely bewildered.

"agree."

Xiao Haiyang was the first to raise his hand.

“I recommend Zhou Shengchen as class monitor,” Gu Yixin suddenly stood up and said. “He’s good at fighting. If our class ever gets into a conflict with another class, at least we won’t suffer any losses.”

"Yes, yes, I also support Zhou Shengchen."

"That makes a lot of sense. Zhou Shengchen can beat up a dozen people without hesitation. Following him would definitely make me feel safe. I support Zhou Shengchen."

"I support Zhou Shengchen as class monitor."

After thinking about it carefully, the others realized it made sense and immediately raised their hands in agreement to appoint Zhou Shengchen as class monitor.

Chapter 54: Lu Qiaochuan's Wounded Pride

"I disagree!" Zhou Shengchen glared at Gu Yixin, then stood up and said, "I came to this school to kill time, I have no interest in managing a class."

"However, if anyone really bullies our class, I will never stand idly by. I recommend Lu Qiaochuan to be the class monitor."

Yu Hao raised both hands: "Since Zhou Shengchen isn't going to take the spot, I can only choose Lu Qiaochuan. I'll still support him wholeheartedly."

Seeing this, the others raised their hands and chose to support Lu Qiaochuan.

Although no song-changing incident occurred at the military training base, Lu Qiaochuan's ability to stir people's hearts was still evident in many small things, so quite a few people supported him.

Of course, most importantly, although being a class monitor in college can earn you a few extra credits, the class advisor and the class will definitely turn to him whenever there's something going on.

This position is not only thankless and difficult, but it also makes it easy to offend people, so there are really no people competing with Lu Qiaochuan for it.

However, Ye Jiping still asked, "Are there any other people running against him?"

No one reacted, but Lu Qiaochuan, who didn't want to be class monitor, suddenly waved his hands to indicate that he had something to say and that he didn't want to be class monitor.

However, Ye Jiping completely ignored him.

Finally, with the support of all his classmates except himself, Lu Qiaochuan successfully became the class monitor of the TV photography class 017.

Ye Jiping smiled and said, "Respecting the will of the people, Lu Qiaochuan will be the class monitor. And if the class monitor is a boy, the vice class monitor should ideally be a girl. There are already few girls in our class, so this will help with internal unity."

"I want to be the vice class monitor!"

Zhong Bai stood up again and said.

"I want to try it too."

Lin Luoxue smiled and raised her right hand.

Although both of them wore smiles, neither showed any intention of backing down.

Ye Jiping nodded, then looked at the remaining two girls and asked, "Gu Yixin and Li Shuci, do you two want to participate in the election?"

Li Shuci shook his head, indicating his unwillingness.

Gu Yixin's eyes darted around, and she asked, "There should be positions like life committee member or someone who manages the money, right?"

Sure enough, Gu Yixin was still the same Gu Yixin, single-mindedly focused on "money".

Ye Jiping nodded: "Yes!"

"In that case, I won't participate," Gu Yixin said with a smile.

Seeing this, Ye Jiping turned his gaze to Zhong Bai and Lin Luoxue: "Zhong Bai and Lin Luoxue, why don't you come up on stage and talk about your direction as vice class monitors?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Bai strode onto the podium.

She said, "I can be the vice class monitor because I know Lu Qiaochuan. He is lazy, has no ambition, always shirks responsibility, never takes initiative, and won't do anything unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, he breaks down and goes to extremes when under pressure, while I can make up for his shortcomings."

In short, they completely denigrated Lu Qiaochuan, rubbing his dignity into the ground.

Hearing Zhong Bai's words, Zhou Shengchen felt a little sympathy for Lu Qiaochuan.

Because what the other person said was really hurtful to my self-esteem.

Those unaware of the relationship between the two would surely assume there's some deep-seated grudge between them upon hearing this, but those who know Zhong Bai understand that she is truly head over heels in love with Lu Qiaochuan, the kind of love that has lasted since childhood.

Ye Jiping frowned and looked at Zhong Bai, puzzled, "If Qiaochuan is really like that, why did you still recommend him as class monitor?"

"Then say it!"

Lu Qiaochuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Zhong Bai.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Qiaochuan.

Zhou Shengchen knew that Lu Qiaochuan was already angry.

No one would feel good being belittled like that.

Seemingly startled by Lu Qiaochuan's shout, Zhong Bai stammered on the podium for a long time, unable to utter a single good point about Lu Qiaochuan.

"Never mind." Ye Jiping sighed and gestured for Lin Luoxue to come up and give her speech for running for class monitor.

"If I become the vice class monitor, I will definitely unite my classmates closely, communicate with them more, do my job well, and do my best to assist the class monitor in completing various tasks. Although our class doesn't start from a very high level, four years later, I will make our class a class that is truly exceptional. That's all!"

"it is good!"

As soon as Lin Luoxue finished speaking, someone shouted loudly, followed by prolonged applause.

Even without an election, it's clear that Lin Luoxue has a large number of supporters.

On one hand, Lin Luoxue's looks are definitely more popular with everyone.

On the other hand, from Lin Luoxue's speech, it can be seen that she seriously wants to be the class monitor, unlike Zhong Bai who is only focused on Lu Qiaochuan.

Ye Jiping nodded: "Since there are two people running for the position of vice class monitor, let's vote! We just finished the exam, and you all have pens and paper. After the vote, Qiaochuan, you can collect the votes and then write them on the blackboard."

Below the stage, Zhou Shengchen took out a pen and paper and wrote down Lin Luoxue's name.

"You voted for Lin Luoxue!" Gu Yixin craned her neck to look at Zhou Shengchen's answer and couldn't help but snort. "You rascal, you must have your eye on Lin Luoxue, right?"

Zhou Shengchen glanced at her and said irritably, "Do you think everyone who throws themselves at Lin Luoxue is after her beauty?"

Gu Yixin retorted with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Didn't you only side with her because you were attracted to her beauty?"

“Of course not.” Zhou Shengchen shook his head and denied it. “The reason I didn’t choose Zhong Bai is because she’s wholeheartedly devoted to Lu Qiaochuan, to the point of blindly supporting him. While it’s good for two people to be of one mind sometimes, it can also be fatal at other times.”

"But Lin Luoxue is different; as the vice class monitor, she can be more objective."

"Moreover, Lin Luoxue is generally more composed than Zhong Bai, and she is also more popular, so she can better handle any issues that arise in the class."

"You're right."

Gu Yixin gave a soft hum.

She originally wanted to vote for Zhong Bai, but after listening to Zhou Shengchen's analysis, she thought about it carefully and decided to vote for Lin Luoxue, just like Zhou Shengchen.

Five minutes later, the voting results were announced.

Lin Luoxue received 20 votes, and Zhong Bai received 4 votes.

Lin Luoxue ultimately won.

Zhou Shengchen glanced around the class to see who would choose Zhong Bai.

Needless to say, Xiao Haiyang has already fallen for Zhong Bai and will definitely vote for her.

Although Lu Qiaochuan was slightly annoyed by Zhong Bai's previous words that belittled him, after so many years of being childhood sweethearts, given his feelings for Zhong Bai, he would definitely choose her.

Needless to say, Zhong Bai would definitely choose himself, thus securing three votes.

As for the last vote, it should go to Li Shuci. She's on good terms with Zhong Bai, and they're now deskmates, so it's not surprising that I'd vote for her.

Chapter 55: Ye Jiping's Earnest Advice

While Zhou Shengchen was analyzing, Ye Jiping stood on the podium and announced loudly, "Lin Luoxue has 20 votes and Zhong Bai has 4 votes, so from now on, Lin Luoxue will be our class's vice class monitor."

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded.

Seeing that the matter of the vice class monitor had been settled, Lu Qiaochuan, who was in charge of counting the votes on the blackboard, prepared to return to his seat.

However, Ye Jiping stopped him and asked him to talk about his feelings about being a class monitor.

Facing everyone, Lu Qiaochuan said with an extremely serious expression, "Actually, I'm not a very capable person at work, so thank you all for your trust in me, and that's all."

These remarks were clearly of little use, and the applause was deafening.

Lu Qiaochuan stepped down from the podium, but after taking only two steps, he subconsciously looked at Zhong Bai and was surprised to see Zhong Bai looking extremely disappointed. Coupled with Zhong Bai's slightly red eyes, Lu Qiaochuan's heart softened instantly.

Returning to the podium, Lu Qiaochuan said, "Um, let me add a couple more things."

"Actually, I'm pretty much the same person Zhong Bai described: not proactive enough, poor stress tolerance, and I tend to avoid things whenever possible."

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "But please rest assured, students, these negative traits will absolutely not appear in the role of class monitor."

Lu Qiaochuan earnestly promised: "I will definitely work hard to live up to everyone's trust in me, and also to live up to Zhong Bai's support just now."

Zhong Bai, who was initially feeling a bit aggrieved and on the verge of tears, instantly broke into a charming smile upon hearing Lu Qiaochuan say that he wouldn't let her down.

Seeing her happy, Lu Qiaochuan couldn't help but smile as well: "I believe that four years from now, we will be just like Lin Luoxue said. We will be different from others and will not be known as the worst class in the academy when we are mentioned. So, thank you again for your support. I will definitely not let you down."

"it is good!"

Seeing the determination in Lu Qiaochuan's eyes, everyone believed that he could do a good job as class monitor, and immediately gave him a round of applause.

Even Ye Jiping was the same.

At this moment, Ye Jiping suddenly asked, "Are there any classmates in our class who were Party members in high school?"

The cute girl, Li Shuci, timidly raised her hand.
