Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 821: Campaign Class

Editor: Henyee Translations

To facilitate freshmen transitioning from high school to university faster, Hua University opted not to implement a course selection system for the first semester, instead arranging classes for all students.

The curriculum consisted mainly of core classes mandatory for every major, with limited elective options.

Hua University boasted a student body filled with top achievers. At the start of the semester, enthusiasm for learning ran high, prompting a race to secure coveted front-row seats in the most crucial classes.

Sitting in the front row significantly enhanced the learning experience, a stark contrast to the potential distractions in the back rows, compounded by newfound freedoms regarding phone usage compared to high school norms.

Due to the distance of the dormitories, Gu Jin often beat Feng Jue to securing seats for himself and Gu Yang in the front row.

Thursday afternoons were entirely free of classes for Physics Class One. Notices in the class group chat instructed students to convene in the North Building for a mandatory class meeting, attended by counselors to oversee the election of class representatives.

Competition for positions such as class monitor, secretary, and study committee member was intense, with more than five candidates vying for each role, some submitting multiple applications.

There were six girls, with Su Ziyun and Qiao Manman vying for the position of class monitor.

Upon learning that Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue were not competing, Su Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, she often visited Room 606 next door to vent about the challenges of the university’s advanced mathematics course, expressing concern that holding a leadership role would hinder her studies.

Believing that Gu Yang and the others, who had aced the College Entrance Examination, prioritized academics, she hoped they would withdraw from the race.

Having interacted closely with all the boys during military training and learned about their exam scores, Su Ziyun knew her results ranked among the class’s best. With Gu Yang and Gu Jin not challenging her, her victory seemed likely.

In contrast, after discovering Qiao Manman had the lowest exam score in the class, Su Ziyun dismissed her as a serious contender.

During the anonymous vote following the election speeches, Gu Yang chose to write Qiao Manman’s name for class monitor. Given the similarity in campaign speeches and comparable qualifications, personal preference likely influenced his decision.

There were few volunteers available, so the counselor recruited several non-participants, including Gu Yang, to assist with counting the votes.

Just as the secretary was wrapping up her speech, the results for the class monitor election were tallied.

Without a hint of emotion, Gu Yang announced from the podium, “Qiao Manman has 11 votes, Su Ziyun has 10 votes, Pan Shanyu has 7 votes…”

The revelation left both Qiao Manman and Su Ziyun stunned. Qiao Manman, who had entered the race with determination, couldn’t believe she had garnered the most votes. Her excitement was palpable.

Gu Yang glanced at Qiao Manman, his expression brightening into a smile. He applauded along with the others and proclaimed, “Let’s congratulate Qiao Manman on becoming our class monitor.”

Amidst applause from the counselor and fellow students, Su Ziyun gripped her skirt tightly, muttering to herself, “How is that even possible…”

When it came to the boys, she had discreetly inquired and knew at least eight of them would support her candidacy.

Among the girls, Tong Jiayin assured her vote. Knowing Gu Yang and Gu Jin favored Qiao Manman, she opted not to compete for their support.

As for Ning Gui, her dorm mate and a social phobic who rarely interacted outside their room, Su Ziyun assumed she would naturally side with her.

Considering these factors, Su Ziyun expected to secure at least 11 votes in total.

Reflecting on Gu Yang’s known preference for Qiao Manman over her, Su Ziyun’s expression hardened. She stood and addressed him, “Gu Yang, may I request to oversee the vote counting process?”

Gu Yang and the other vote counters frowned at the unexpected request, surprising everyone in the classroom.

After a moment’s pause, acknowledging the slim margin between her and Qiao Manman, they acquiesced, “Sure.”

As Gu Yang approached with the ballots, he placed them on the table in front of Su Ziyun, inadvertently saving her the trouble of disposing them herself.

Recognizing her earlier abruptness, Su Ziyun quickly clarified, “Gu Yang, I didn’t mean to imply distrust. I simply feel it might be beneficial to ensure accuracy when several people are involved in counting.”
