Huang Zhiyao saw Chen Fang laughing heartily.

His face turned red instantly.

Puffing his lips, he said, "Anyway, everyone can see my handsomeness. You have to admit that."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The classroom erupted with exclamations.

Immediately.

Almost all the women's eyes turned to the doorway.

Chen Fang and Huang Zhiyao also followed their gaze.

They saw a man around 1.85 meters tall, dressed stylishly, and quite handsome, walk in.

It was obvious.

The commotion was all because of him.

"Really handsome, if I didn't know better, I'd think he's a celebrity."

"Yeah, he should be the most handsome in the system."

"Wow, wow, wow, if I weren't married, I'd definitely rush over to give him a kiss."

These were all women in their thirties.

Each behaving like a lovestruck teen, chattering endlessly.

Huang Zhiyao finally understood; those women's compliments weren't meant for him at all. He muttered, "What's the use of being handsome? He might just be a pretty face. These women, seriously."

Chen Fang chuckled quietly, "That's not what you were saying just now."

Huang Zhiyao retorted, "For a man, the important things aren't looks but ability, background, and talent. Do you think he has ability, background, and talent? I don't even know where he came from."

"He is Zhang Qulin."

Chen Fang said.

Huang Zhiyao froze.

His mouth dropped open, leaving him speechless.

In talent, ability, and background, Huang Zhiyao could not possibly compare to Zhang Qulin.

Even if Zhang Qulin had none of those, just standing there, everyone would still rush over, competing to reach him first.

"How do you know he's Zhang Qulin? Do you know him?"

Asked Huang Zhiyao after snapping out of it.

Chen Fang shook his head.

He said, "I don't know him, but it's not hard to guess. In our class, only Zhang Qulin has been absent until now."

Only then did Huang Zhiyao come to the realization.

He reluctantly fell silent.

Amidst everyone's praises and attentive eyes,

Zhang Qulin found a corner to sit down.

He maintained a cold expression throughout and didn't say a word to anyone.

He seemed like a difficult person to approach.

At this moment,

The class teacher Zhou Xiwai came in.

Standing on the podium, he scanned the room, his gaze quickly landing on Zhang Qulin.

He said, "Alright, today's first class is the class meeting. At the beginning of the term, we assigned a task regarding self-recommendations for the class committee. Over time, we've received quite a few self-recommendation letters. After discussions among all the teachers, the list of class committee members has been finalized. I'll announce it now."

As soon as this was said, all eyes were glued to him.

This class committee consists of seven positions in total.

They are one class leader, two vice class leaders, and a learning committee member, discipline committee member, publicity committee member, and sports committee member.

The two vice class leaders have different responsibilities.

One is in charge of academic affairs, and the other oversees daily life affairs.

Chen Fang didn't even write a recommendation letter.

So, this selection had nothing to do with him.

He was just there to enjoy the spectacle.

Zhou Xiwai first announced the learning committee member, discipline committee member, publicity committee member, and sports committee member.

Immediately after.

He announced the two vice class leaders.

Up to this point, no one noticed anything unusual.

Finally, the process reached its last step.

Which was the selection of the most important class leader position.

Since there were no prerequisites set for this, the competition for class leader was particularly fierce.

According to the data announced by Zhou Xiwai, a total of 11 self-recommendation letters were received for the class leader position.

After the setup,

Zhou Xiwai cleared his throat and said, "After thorough deliberation by all the teachers, we have decided to assign the class leader position to Zhang Qulin. Everyone, please applaud."

A wave of applause erupted.

It seemed that.

The final decision on the class leader was as everyone had expected.

Chen Fang quickly glanced over at Zhang Qulin.

He saw the corner of Zhang Qulin's mouth slightly rise, portraying an air of contempt, as if the class leader position was always his to begin with.

Of course.

No one would have much of an objection.

After all, Zhang Qulin's identity was clear, and no one dared to compete with him.

"I disagree!"

Just as the sparse applause was about to end,

A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Then they saw someone stand up from the middle of the classroom.

Chen Fang took a closer look.

It was none other than the woman who had been in the same car when classes started and had confronted Niu Bo.

At the time, Chen Fang didn't know her name.

After a period of interaction, Chen Fang heard something from Huang Zhiyao.

Her name was Chen Zhenyi. She was sent here as a student from Nanliang Province, related to Chen Fang somewhat distantly by five thousand years.

Before coming here, she was the Deputy Mayor of Zhongqing City, the capital of Nanliang Province.

Chen Zhenyi's time at the Party School was completely different from everyone else's.

Among the 32 people present, most were here due to their background, connections, or relations, but Chen Zhenyi had none of that, and her career path was completely unconventional compared to what most people imagined.

Her story wasn't far off from that of a heroine's journey.

At 25 years old,

Chen Zhenyi entered the Ministry of Commerce as a centrally dispatched civil servant.

Because her work was outstanding,

By the age of 30,

She had made the leap from an ordinary staff member to a deputy division chief.

Five years ago,

The state decided to send a batch of excellent civil servants to border provinces to lead economic development in order to boost the economy there.

Under this broader framework, Chen Zhenyi was appointed as the county mayor of Fengzhou County in Zhongqing City.

Due to her exceptional work capability, the economy of Fengzhou County made substantial progress within two years. Consequently, Chen Zhenyi was promoted again, becoming the County Party Secretary of Fengzhou County.

Another two years passed.

Chen Zhenyi further climbed the ranks to become a City Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, and Deputy Mayor of Zhongqing City.

She was in charge of economic development work.

Even when she was in the county, the leaders in Zhongqing City had heard rumors of her decisive and bold personality; however, upon her arrival in the city, they realized that such descriptions didn't fully capture her assertiveness.

At the beginning of her tenure,

Chen Zhenyi halted 26 ongoing economic development projects, demanding that they undergo individual evaluations and could only resume if they fully met the standards.

This, naturally, disrupted many leaders' interests.

As a centrally dispatched civil servant and an officer assigned under a central aid project, the leaders had no choice but to use this Party School learning opportunity to send her here.

It was ostensibly for further education, but to put it bluntly, it was just a way to sideline her.

In fact, Chen Zhenyi was quite renowned in Nanliang Province.

Especially during her time in Fengzhou County, the media had dubbed her the "Cool Sister Secretary," which spoke volumes.
