In the Youth League Committee office, Youth League Committee Secretary Zhang Cailong hung up the phone, rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself,
"What's Chen Pingjiang's background? The dean is so concerned about him?"
Lu Ye used keywords like "must," "grasp tightly," and "ensure" on the phone, and Zhang Cailong knew the dean's level of importance attached to this matter.
"Who knows what's going on,"
He mumbled a couple of times, then Lu Ye called Hao Shaoping, the president of the college student union.
"Chen Pingjiang? How could it be him?"
Hao Shaoping was also dumbfounded after answering the phone.
What was this?
How did their student union become free tools?
Helping teachers and the college was fine, but Zhang Cailong explicitly asked him on the phone to arrange a few capable students to be assigned to Chen Pingjiang's command, doing whatever Chen Pingjiang asked.
Although Hao Shaoping had never met Chen Pingjiang, he had heard a lot about Chen Pingjiang's deeds.
Chen Pingjiang directly confronted Sui Yuan during the student union interview, indirectly leading to Sui Yuan's later resignation.
After Zhai Fei became the head of the external relations department, the first thing he did was promote Chen Pingjiang to deputy head.
At that time, there was a controversy within the student union over this matter; no one had ever seen a freshman become the deputy head of the college student union.
For this, Hao Shaoping specifically held a meeting.
"Calling everyone here for an emergency meeting is because Secretary Zhang of the Youth League Committee has given our student union a task."
Hao Shaoping cleared his throat, scanned the room, and continued,
"Chen Pingjiang, who is the head of our student union's external relations department, will participate in the campus entrepreneurship competition half a month later. We need our student union to provide a few capable department heads or executive members to assist Chen Pingjiang's work."
Boom!
The department heads and the members of the presidium below immediately erupted.
It was like an absurd mother opening the door for absurdity, absurdity taken to the extreme.
Everyone around looked at Zhai Fei, who also spread his hands, bewildered:
"Don't look at me, I don't know either."
"It's just an entrepreneurship competition, held every year. Last year, they didn't make such demands on our student union. What's going on?"
"If you want to go, go. I'm not going."
Hong Shaoling, the head of the publicity department, was already a junior.
She was unwilling to take orders from a freshman.
"Wow, I feel like Chen Pingjiang is everywhere. I heard before that he had a conflict with Bian Yingjie, the head of the school student union's learning department.
Later, I heard that the very popular Little Chen BBQ was opened by him. He became a deputy head as a freshman, breaking tradition, and now he needs us to escort him for an entrepreneurship competition."
"Huh? He even had a conflict with Bian Yingjie? Are freshmen nowadays all so amazing? Compared to him, I've wasted these three years."
Hao Shaoping watched the chaotic scene of everyone talking over each other, coughed twice, and then said,
"Keep all your complaints to yourselves for now. Let's first arrange the task assigned by Secretary Zhang. Department heads usually have other work, so they don't need to participate. We'll select some people from various departments; Secretary Zhang wants us to arrange this as soon as possible."
Hearing that department-head level people didn't need to participate, Hong Shaoling's expression improved.
Then she rattled off a series of questions:
"What are the selection criteria? How many people specifically will be chosen? What if the deputy heads and executive members are unwilling to participate in the selection?"
This stumped Hao Shaoping as well.
The meeting was arranged too hastily, and he hadn't thought it through carefully.
The meeting room was silent for a while before Hao Shaoping said,
"Secretary Zhang's intention is for capable people. If they can't help with the entrepreneurship competition, they can do other things."
Guo Dong, the head of the lifestyle department, immediately chuckled upon hearing this, her eyes showing disdain and a cold sneer.
"Do they want us to serve or wash dishes at his BBQ restaurant?"
"If you're so resistant, why don't you personally call Secretary Zhang?"
Guo Dong, rebuffed by Hao Shaoping, pouted and said nothing more.
Anyway, she didn't have to go, so whoever went would be unlucky.
"I think we'll choose eight people. First, notify all deputy heads and executive members, following the principle of voluntariness. If the number is insufficient, we'll forcibly select a few then."
Zhai Fei also frowned:
"Without some benefits, I doubt anyone will participate, right?"
"Secretary Zhang has already considered this issue. Participants in this activity will uniformly receive five additional comprehensive evaluation points," Hao Shaoping said.
"Ho, the college is so generous?"
"This makes me think of a phrase: 'abusing public resources for private gain'."
"Heh, now I'm even more curious. Do you think this Chen Pingjiang is a relative of some leader in the college?"
...
Comprehensive evaluation points, this thing, are both important and not important in college.
Some students aren't affected even if they don't get any points, but if you want to be recognized for excellence or get a scholarship, comprehensive evaluation points are essential, and even postgraduate recommendations require them.
Every school's student union adds comprehensive evaluation points, and the calculation methods vary.
Here at the University of Finance and Economics, for example, Hao Shaoping gets 8 points, but department heads only get 4 points, deputy heads get 2 points, and executive members only get 1 point.
No one expected this activity to offer five points!
It must be said that Lu Ye's original intention was to arrange two students to help, which would have been enough.
Zhang Cailong inferred the higher-ups' intentions, thinking four people should be sufficient.
Hao Shaoping, wanting to avoid any oversight, directly increased it to eight people.
Layer by layer, the requirements increased!
Now, none of the department heads had any objections.
Some didn't care for comprehensive evaluation points, while others eagerly sought them.
It wasn't hard for a large student union to gather eight people.
Comprehensive evaluation points only take the highest score, meaning that if a department head participates in this activity, they would only get five points, and their original four points would be canceled.
So, it wasn't very attractive to them.
But for the deputy heads below, especially the executive members, that's a different story.
New executive members have just entered school, full of vigor and spirit.
Who wouldn't want to get an "Excellent Student" award or a scholarship?
"Make sure this is settled this afternoon. Tomorrow, Zhai Fei, you take them over,"
Hao Shaoping added.
Zhai Fei nodded.
As Chen Pingjiang's direct superior, and with a good personal relationship, it was most appropriate for him to take the people there.
"Just how capable is this kid, that the college dotes on him so much?"
Zhai Fei shook his head with a wry smile.
From their first meeting, he had perceived Chen Pingjiang's amazingness.
Not long after, Chen Pingjiang's actions also confirmed his opinion of him.
First reselling military uniforms, then opening a BBQ restaurant, and just now he heard that he once had a conflict with the head of the school student union.
Who knows what big move he's been planning recently?
Otherwise, why would the college do this?
When the meeting adjourned, Hong Shaoling deliberately walked a step slower, exiting the student union office one after the other with Zhai Fei.
"Zhai Fei, Chen Pingjiang isn't really a relative of some leader in the college, is he?"
Hong Shaoling asked casually.
Zhai Fei scoffed, giving her a meaningful look.
"You believe that? The teachers in the college aren't stupid. The reason they're willing to help like this is definitely because they are particularly optimistic about Chen Pingjiang, believing he will certainly win the gold prize in this entrepreneurship competition."
