Chapter 53 The Lively Dormitory 205 (Part 2)

After Ding Ning finished speaking, she couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang leaned in again: "Okay, okay, if you want to run for sports committee member, then I won't. I'll still vote for you later, how about that? Am I being a good friend?"

Ding Ning felt increasingly disgusted.

It's like nobody cares about your vote.

On the contrary, Ding Ning really hoped that Liu Qiang would also run for sports committee member, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

If Liu Qiang were to run for sports committee member, and then Ding Ning were to run, their votes would definitely skyrocket.

Those extra votes must have been cast by classmates who disliked Liu Qiang.

That's why they say it all comes down to the contrast with their peers.

Unfortunately, Liu Qiang gave up on it himself.

However, Ding Ning did not give up, and even came up with a way to embarrass Liu Qiang.

"Actually, my chances of being elected sports committee member are pretty slim. Apart from those four geniuses in dorm 203, no one else in our class can say they're a shoo-in. If someone dares to challenge 203 now, they'll definitely leave a really awesome impression on the whole class. Even if they lose, it'll be a spectacular defeat."

Liu Qiang didn't say anything, but he did seem a little tempted.

At this moment, Shi Xiaomeng's voice rang out.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let's start voting for Xie Meilan."

To save time, Shi Xiaomeng had Xie Meilan face the blackboard with her back to everyone, and then they started voting.

"Those who agree that Xie Meilan should be the vice class monitor, please raise your hands."

This time, quite a few people raised their hands.

Shi Xiaomeng only pointed to those who hadn't raised their hands before announcing the vote count.

There were 29 votes in total.

"Thank you monitor!"

After Xie Meilan finished speaking, she happily walked off the podium.

Cheng Feng suddenly called out to Xie Meilan: "Hey, you haven't thanked me yet."

Xie Meilan turned around and smiled: "Thank you for your suggestion, Cheng Da's life committee member."

It was only then that Cheng Feng noticed that Xie Meilan and Guan Wen were sitting together, and immediately realized that the two must be roommates.

Liu Qiang was disdainful when he saw that Guan Wen and Xie Meilan's votes had increased so much just because they had spoken a few words to Cheng Feng.

In Liu Qiang's view, Cheng Feng was just an idle and good-for-nothing playboy who flaunted his family's wealth and tried to win people over.

This kind of person was born into a good family, but who knows when their family will fall into poverty and they won't even be able to wash dishes, and will have to beg for food under the overpass.

On the podium.

Seeing that the students in the third row had finished speaking, Shi Xiaomeng arranged for the students in the fourth row to come up on stage from the far right to introduce themselves.

"Hey, it's your turn," Ding Ning called out to Liu Qiang.

"Remember to vote for me!" Liu Qiang whispered to himself before walking confidently to the podium.

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Qiang!"

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the chalk eraser, and with a few quick strokes, erased a blank space in the middle of the blackboard, then wrote his name in large letters.

He turned around to speak, but found that the students in the audience were looking at him strangely.

Liu Qiang looked back again to make sure he hadn't misspelled his name.

What are you all looking at?
At this moment, Shi Xiaomeng stepped forward.

“It’s alright. Wu Di has a record of the names that were erased and the number of votes. I’ll rewrite them later.”

Wu Di then stood up and showed everyone the class meeting minutes in his hand, proving that Shi Xiaomeng was not lying.

Liu Qiang, who was standing in front of the blackboard, then realized that he had inadvertently erased the names and vote counts of some of the students running for class committee.

"Um—I really didn't mean to."

Liu Qiang scratched his head like a gorilla, looking rather simple-minded.

Shi Xiaomeng nodded and let Liu Qiang continue with his self-introduction.

Liu Qiang started by boasting about how good he was at basketball in high school, then talked about his experience of encountering wild boars while herding sheep in the mountains, and finally talked about how poor his hometown was and how hard he studied, trying to portray himself as the hope of the whole village.

Finally, he slapped his forehead.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I want to run for class monitor, and I hope everyone can give me the honor of voting for me!"

The audience was silent.

To be precise, he was speechless because of Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang turned to look at Shi Xiaomeng, who was still in a daze: "Class monitor, can we start voting now?"

This was the first time Shi Xiaomeng had encountered such a situation.

You ran for class monitor, and then you called me class monitor?
So, do you want people to vote for you out of courtesy, or do you want them to refuse to vote for you out of courtesy?

"Okay, Liu Qiang wants to run for class monitor. Now, please turn around and face the blackboard—"

"No need for all that trouble. I'll just watch everyone vote. It's fine. I have a strong heart; I can accept any result." Liu Qiang seemed nonchalant, even thinking he was saving everyone trouble.

"well said!"

Cheng Feng suddenly led the applause: "A true hero dares to face a bleak life. Since he has spoken, let's vote for him."

Cheng Feng wanted to see who would vote for such an idiot.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaomeng had no choice but to speak up: "Those who support Liu Qiang as class monitor, please raise your hands."

Liu Qiang looked down at the audience with anticipation.

one second.

Five seconds.

……

A minute passed, and still no one raised their hand.

Seeing that he was about to get zero points, Liu Qiang finally panicked and looked at Ding Ning, desperately trying to signal to him.

Ding Ning pretended not to see it and turned her face away.

He now regrets encouraging Liu Qiang to go up there; he's seen idiots before, but never one this stupid.

Seeing that even Shi Xiaomeng didn't know how to announce the result, Yang Muyi calmly raised his hand.

Cheng Feng, standing beside him, stared wide-eyed.

"Makino, what are you doing?"

"Vote! Otherwise, if he keeps standing on the stage and won't come down, you can go and make him come down."

After Yang Muye finished speaking, he turned to look at Shi Xiaomeng.

"Xiao Meng, announce the results."

"Well, Liu Qiang received one vote. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Before Shi Xiaomeng could finish speaking, Cheng Feng started clapping.

Anyone with eyes could see that the applause wasn't meant to encourage Liu Qiang at all, but rather to urge him to get down from the stage and stop making a fool of himself.

Liu Qiang's face turned pale and then red, and he tried to save face amidst the applause: "I never actually thought about running for class committee. I was just joking with everyone. Please stop clapping."

After saying that, he slunk off the stage.

Seeing Liu Qiang sit down next to her, Ding Ning moved to the side, afraid that people around her would realize that she and Liu Qiang were roommates.

Liu Qiang suddenly turned his face: "What are you hiding for? It's your turn to go up."

But move aside! How am I supposed to get out if you're sitting here?

Ding Ning stood up and waited for a few seconds before Liu Qiang finally stood up like a snail.

Just as Ding Ning was about to step over Liu Qiang's seat, Liu Qiang suddenly gave Ding Ning a warm hug.

"Old Ding, keep it up! You're the only one left in our dorm now, we're all counting on you!"

I f***

thank you!

Ding Ning was on the verge of tears. Had he really shot himself in the foot?

Stepping onto the podium, Ding Ning briefly introduced herself before starting to talk about Liu Qiang.

"My roommate really loves to joke around. I'm not talking about his running for class monitor, but what he said when he hugged me just now. I'm different from him. I'm seriously running for sports committee member. I hope everyone can vote for me, thank you!"

After saying that, he put his hands together and made a pleading gesture.

The same dormitory room, yet the behavior was worlds apart.

The final vote count was also [the same].

Ding Ning surprisingly received 31 votes, especially from dormitory 203, where all four votes went to him.

Ding Ning would never believe that Liu Qiang didn't play a part in this.
