Chapter 111 Election
The election was scheduled for Tuesday, which was also the time of the department's regular meeting. Although not everyone was willing to run for minister or deputy minister, everyone needed to vote. So on Tuesday evening, the people in the Arts and Literature Department found an empty meeting room and everyone participated in this election.
Because it was an election, the department needed to take photos and make activity records, which would then be submitted to the student affairs department and shown to the teachers. In addition, the student union's page on the school's official website would also be updated with personnel changes. Therefore, Jiang Lai dressed a little more formally than usual, wearing a black long dress, a cashmere coat, and a gray scarf.
"Ah Jiang, let's go?" Tang Li called to her again.
Jiang Lai carefully checked her hair and makeup in the mirror to make sure everything was okay before leaving the bathroom.
"You're not running for office, but you're still very enthusiastic!" Jiang Lai teased.
"Who doesn't love joining in the fun! Let's go! It's a pity we can't go to another department, otherwise I'd love to see you again."
"If you finished early on your end, come over! We all know each other in these departments!"
"you're right!"
Jiang Lai and Tang Li arrived at the student activity center.
Perhaps because all the departmental elections are taking place at this time, the activity center was unusually noisy tonight.
When you look at the building from the outside, you can see that many rooms are lit up. Once you enter the building, you can hear sounds coming from other floors to the first floor.
"It's going to be lively tonight!" Jiang Lai exclaimed.
"Sure," Tang Li said. "The usual? Wait outside when it's over?"
"it is good."
Jiang Lai stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the conference room door.
The projector screen in the conference room was already turned on, displaying the seven large characters "Election for the Re-election of the Literature and Art Department".
The minister and deputy minister were already seated, with scoring sheets and resumes of the candidates in front of them. A young man, responsible for taking photos, greeted Jiang Lai as she entered, saying, "You're here!"
Are you taking photos today?
"That's right! Don't worry, I'll definitely take some beautiful photos of the goddess from the Literature and Art Department!"
Jiang Lai smiled, "It's a deal!"
"no sooner said than done!"
After waiting a while, everyone arrived. Director Hu went up to the podium and said, "Everyone is here now. I'll just say a few words. This leadership reshuffle is to establish a new leadership core for our Arts and Literature Department, and also to enhance the department's cohesion and deepen everyone's understanding of the department, so as to ensure that future work can proceed smoothly..."
"The candidates for this election are Jiang Lai, Mei Xue, Qian Haiyang, and Zhou He—four people in total, two men and two women. Only Jiang Lai applied to run for minister; the others are running for vice minister. So we'll start with the minister. If Jiang Lai gets more than 80% of the votes, she'll be our next Minister of Arts. If she doesn't meet the requirement, Zhang and I will communicate with the presidium and the teachers, and then she'll be appointed directly. As for the vice minister, the one with the most votes out of the three will be elected."
The audience below the stage said, "We know, Director Hu, please stop talking. Let's start and finish as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Now that this is over, we can discuss having dinner together later!"
Hu Bu readily agreed, "Alright, since no one wants to listen, I won't go on. Let's start right away! Let's begin with the ministers."
Hu stepped down from the podium and gestured for Jiang Lai to go up.
Jiang Lai stepped forward and said confidently, "Everyone is very anxious, so I'll keep it brief. I believe everyone knows who I am. I'm standing here today to run for the position of Minister of Literature and Art. Those who achieve great things in ancient times not only possessed extraordinary talent but also unwavering perseverance. In the past two years, I have learned a lot and done a lot of work in the Literature and Art Department..."
"To be shameless, I may not be the most talented, but I am definitely the most persistent..."
The camera clicked away beside her, but Jiang Lai remained unfazed and continued giving her presentation.
The two ministers below the stage smiled as they watched her, their pens scribbling on paper.
"...That's all, thank you everyone." Jiang Lai bowed to the audience, then stepped down from the stage, and everyone applauded.
Hu Bu stood up and said, "Then let's just vote by raising our hands! Those who agree to appoint Jiang Lai as the Minister of Arts and Literature, please raise your hands!"
The one who always stirs things up said, "Goddess, I voted for you, how will you thank me?"
Someone nearby preemptively replied to Jiang Lai, "Thanks a lot."
"?"
"Alright, stop playing around and raise your hands!" Zhang Bu said.
Everyone raised their hands, and Zhang and Hu counted the number of votes. "It's basically a unanimous vote, so Jiang Lai will be our next Minister of Culture!"
"Applause!" someone shouted, followed by cheers.
Following Hu Bu's instructions, Jiang Lai sat down next to her and watched the remaining three people compete for the position of vice minister.
In the end, the girl got the position of vice minister.
She excitedly ran down and hugged Jiang Lai, "That's great! It's me and Jiang Lai working together!"
Jiang Lai patted her on the back, "I'll be relying on you from now on!"
"Where there!"
"Now that we've chosen our guests, let's discuss where to have our get-together."
Hot pot? Barbecue?
Finally, hot pot was decided, and the meeting was considered over.
When Jiang Lai went out, Tang Li was already waiting outside.
"Your Discipline Inspection Department is really fast!" "Right! I even took a stroll around the Sports Department. Shall we go buy some late-night snacks? I want some roasted sweet potatoes!" "Let's go! Let's ask Zhao Zhao and Xiang Yue if they want some."

The news of the departmental leadership changes was quickly compiled and submitted to the student union. After the teachers confirmed that everything was correct, the task of updating departmental information was handed over to the Network Information Department. At the same time, student union members also updated the campus forum simultaneously.
The reshuffling of leadership in all departments has been completed, and the new ministers and deputy ministers have been announced.
[This year marks the 130th anniversary of our school! I'm already looking forward to it!]
—As the title suggests, the school anniversary celebrations have always been quite lively, even if they're not major anniversaries. This year, on the 130th anniversary, they're expected to go all out.
—It just so happens that various departments and the student union are changing leadership. I think the new leaders will make a strong impression and it should be interesting to see them.
—I just went to check next door, and the new heads of the Organization Department and the Arts and Literature Department are both old acquaintances of the forum!
—The Minister of Arts and Literature is my junior, Jiang!!! Honestly, even if she were just standing there during the school anniversary celebration, I would have thought it was wonderful.
—We've gone off-topic! Let's talk about the school anniversary!
—What's there to talk about? It's all just parties and parties. The street dance club goes up to dance, the top ten singers sing, the teachers recite poetry, the school leaders give speeches—it's the same old routine.
—Saving is starting to get boring.
—But I heard that many people from outside the university will be attending this anniversary celebration, and many alumni will be coming back too!
—Are you suggesting we have people from outside the school and alumni perform for us? It's all the same anyway.
—I'm just tired of singing and dancing all the time.
It's hard not to support it.
—Speaking of which, the school anniversary celebration should start in the spring, right? Next month?
—I guess so.
—srds, is it only freshmen and sophomores who are participating in this school anniversary celebration?
—You don't know yet!
The forum was buzzing with discussion about the school anniversary celebrations, and Jiang Lai officially started working alongside Director Hu, learning how to maintain the operation of a department, the most important thing being the preparations for the school anniversary celebrations.
