Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Huang Panpan even plans to learn piano when she gets home. Li Juan wanted her to learn it before, but Huang Panpan refused. Now, the young junior wants to enrich herself more proactively.

Besides that, there’s the student council.

Being in the student council not only hones personal abilities, but also enhances one’s status with the title of a student council officer.

In short, the young junior hopes to improve herself comprehensively, narrowing the gap with the formidable Qin Shiqing, in order to have a chance in this competition for Su Zelin.

Su Zelin nodded slightly and asked, "Panpan, which department do you plan to join in the student council?"

The structure of the university student council is not simple. It can generally be divided into the presidium, secretariat, academic department, organization department, arts department, external liaison department, publicity department, hygiene department, and discipline inspection department.

The presidium can be considered the core of the student council, usually consisting of one president and two to three vice-presidents.

The secretariat supports the presidium and is responsible for the entire student council’s activities funding and meeting minutes, among other things.

Beneath that are the various departments, each with different responsibilities.

The academic department, as its name suggests, manages the school’s academic atmosphere, conducts academic activities, and organizes academic lectures, etc.

The arts department is responsible for organizing various art activities, such as soirées or campus singer competitions.

The publicity department is the school’s front-facing body, presenting the campus style through this window, like event banners or blackboard news, which come from the publicity department.

The external liaison department serves as the bridge between the campus and the outside world, helping the student council increase external visibility while needing to secure sponsorships.

...

New members of the student council have to start as grassroots staff in various departmental divisions, though a few exceptionally outstanding or famous ones can directly enter the college-level council. For instance, Qin Shiqing skipped the departmental level and was recruited by the college student council.

Actually, Su Zelin also had the opportunity to directly join the college student council.

Not long ago, the college arts department extended an olive branch to him.

Why is the arts department so proactive?

First, Su Zelin is outstanding enough.

After the May Fourth Youth Day cultural event, Su Zelin’s fame soared within the finance college due to one song, "Love Can’t Be Controlled," turning him into a campus star.

The talents of a layabout were excellent, and he was highly popular. The key was his incredible stage presence and "good show" effects, making him a regular at the future cultural events barring no surprises.

Just based on that, joining the department’s arts branch was more than sufficient, even allowing direct recruitment without an interview.

Of course, if you want to advance further in the student council, besides talent, you need something more.

Su Zelin’s management skills were also impeccable; the first class of financial management twice received the department’s advanced class accolade in their freshman year, the best proof of his management ability.

With these two abilities, one foot was already through the door of the college student council.

Moreover, Su Zelin had another very important ability, highly valued by the college student council: his financial power!

Many know that the layabout is now the general manager of the New Century Digital store, a large digital flagship experience store with strong financial backing and a key sponsor for the student council’s sponsorship.

And whether to sponsor the student council activities, everyone knew that the decision rested with the influential layabout; this made for the ultimate trump card, so Su Zelin didn’t attend the student council interview, the presidents of both the external liaison and arts departments proactively sought him out, both trying hard to recruit him.

Although officially the department responsible for securing sponsorships in the student council is the external liaison department, every department recruits sponsorships on their own, relying solely on the external liaison department is insufficient, and you still have to consider the stance of those influential figures. Isn’t it more appealing to have someone in your department who can sponsor activities anytime? Moreover, recruiting Su Zelin into the arts department is perfectly legitimate, as he is a campus star who shone at cultural events, so he should naturally join the arts department!

Thus, the recently promoted Su Zelin became highly sought after, causing a scramble in two major college departments. The arts department even sent his former schoolmate Yan Qingyi from Jianglan Second High School to appeal to his emotions; unfortunately, both departments were rejected by Su Zelin.

There are indeed benefits to joining the student council; the resume could help in job searches after graduation, and many big companies value this experience. Some with good relations with school leadership may even have the chance to stay on for administrative positions, though this usually requires a presidency level.

Aside from that, ordinary members mostly focus on enhancing their courage, eloquence, social, and organizational skills.

However, these two things are exactly what Su Zelin doesn’t need.

The layabout has become an entrepreneur and boss himself, surely not looking to apply to organizations or stay on at school after graduation.

As for personal abilities and experience, in his previous life, he navigated the business world for over a decade, an old pro, able to face any member of the student council, including the president. Such training in this setting is redundant.

Even if there are affairs at the finance college, wouldn’t it be faster to approach Dai Chuangxing directly? No matter how powerful the student council, can it surpass Vice Director Dai?

So, Su Zelin has no interest in immersing himself in the student council BS, purely a waste of time and energy.

"The arts department!"

Huang Panpan replied without hesitation.

She had long made her decision.

Among all the departments, she was only interested in the arts department.

The most important reason being, Su Zelin would frequently attend cultural events, interacting with the arts department often.

"In a few days, the departmental arts branch will be recruiting new members. Senior, could you accompany me when the time comes? I’m afraid I’ll be nervous if I go alone and won’t perform well during the speech."
