Chapter 238: Recommendation
Chapter 238: Recommendation
Ding Xuewen was completely unaware that he was about to be replaced. His classmates, who were closer to him, wanted to remind him, but they hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet.
So he didn't find out until Teacher Zhou called him to his office.
Ding Xuewen's face turned pale and then red. Teacher Zhou's words were euphemistic, but he wasn't stupid. During the years he worked at the pharmaceutical factory, he could understand even the most subtle things his office colleagues said.
This is because they think he is a qualified sports and culture committee member.
His classmates all had a problem with him.
"Teacher Zhou, I was originally planning to find an opportunity to talk to you about this."
Ding Xuewen immediately found a suitable reason for himself, "I have limited energy. I have to be responsible for the operation of the poetry club on one hand, and I also have to study and participate in the class's cultural and sports activities on the other. The school attaches great importance to the poetry club, and I can't be distracted from my studies either. I really don't have the energy to be responsible for the class's cultural and sports activities. As the cultural and sports committee member, I have done very little during this period, and I feel very guilty. So, I thought..."
He talked a lot, and his eyes reddened as he spoke.
Teacher Zhou patted him on the shoulder with a sigh, "Teacher knows, you've done a great job. You've managed the poetry club very well. Since you don't have the energy, let's find someone else to manage it."
A glimmer of tears welled up in Ding Xuewen's eyes. "Does Teacher Zhou have a suitable candidate?"
"Not yet, but things are different now than at the beginning of the semester. Students have gotten to know each other better, so we'll have everyone vote and recommend candidates!"
After leaving the office, Ding Xuewen went straight into the classroom. He walked up to the podium with a smile and said, "Classmates, I just went to Teacher Zhou's office to resign from my position as the class's arts and sports representative. My energy is really limited, so I can only focus on the poetry club for now. I would like to apologize to everyone here and hope that you can forgive me..."
His move completely baffled everyone in the classroom. How could he have resigned?
Didn't everyone tell Teacher Zhou that they wanted him to be replaced?
Could it be that Ding Xuewen resigned from his position as the sports and arts committee member before Teacher Zhou even had a chance to explain?
Then all their efforts were in vain?
The students in the audience looked at each other.
That afternoon, Teacher Zhou brought up the matter of re-electing the arts and sports committee member in the classroom.
"Ding Xuewen knew he couldn't manage both, so he voluntarily resigned as the arts and sports committee member..."
So it really was him who took the initiative?
The students who were initially skeptical were dispelled by Teacher Zhou's words.
Some students even began to reflect on whether they had gone too far.
I shouldn't have joined in this collaboration...
"Our class is currently short of a sports and arts representative. Everyone, please suggest who you think is suitable. If any student feels they are capable of taking on the role, they can also step forward and volunteer!" said Teacher Zhou.
Ding Xuewen stood up: "As someone who has been in charge of class cultural and sports activities, I have a few thoughts to share."
"Go ahead," said Teacher Zhou.
"You, Xuewen, should speak up; you know more than us," one student said.
Ding Xuewen then said, "From my experience and lessons, I have come up with a few essential qualities for a sports and culture committee member. The first one is that he must have a certain level of organizational ability."
"The second requirement is that he must have solid writing skills and know how to write notices, speeches, and propaganda materials."
"Third, he needs to have certain literary and artistic skills..."
"Only students who meet the above criteria are suitable for recommendation. What do you all think?"
Ding Xuewen rattled off several points, one after another, and everyone thought they made a lot of sense. He was quite eloquent.
Teacher Zhou said, "You students have been together for so long, you must know each other better than I do as your teacher. How about this, everyone recommend or nominate yourselves based on the criteria Ding Xuewen mentioned, and then we'll choose a suitable student from among them."
The students below the stage were buzzing with discussion, but for a moment no one mentioned anyone's name.
Ding Xuewen smiled and said, "I'll go first. I recommend Yuan Xiu. She has good writing skills and gets along well with her classmates, which proves that she has good coordination skills. Coordination is the foundation of organization. As for literary and sports skills, we can let Yuan Xiu demonstrate. I believe Yuan Xiu can do it!"
Yuan Xiu's eyes widened: Someone wants to harm her!
