That's why her entire speech only received applause three times in total, unlike Su Zelin, whose every word was met with applause or laughter!

This is the effect of being entertaining; it seems simple, but it's actually quite profound.

The slacker's speech was interesting and down-to-earth; this kind of person in society is like a social wizard, with countless buddies. In his past life, no matter which big city Su Zelin visited or traveled to for business, as long as he posted something online before getting on a plane or high-speed train, local friends would quickly invite him for meals, drinks, parties, and other outings, because everyone enjoys being friends with such people, having fun together.

Returning to this speech, if you think Su Zelin was merely entertaining the public, you've got it all wrong.

In reality, every word he casually said had a deeper meaning.

My grades aren't great = I was the top scorer in the college entrance exam English subject!

I'm not a good student, I get into fights = I stand up for others, I'm loyal and responsible!

I don't have many advantages, just a slick tongue = I have excellent communication skills and can interact well with everyone!

...

The same matter, expressed differently, can have vastly different effects.

Behind Su Zelin's seemingly self-deprecating remarks lies a subtle and humble display of impressive credentials.

Compared to outright boasting, this way of showing off oneself is undoubtedly more likable and makes the audience feel that the person is cute and humble.

Comparatively, Luo Xi's approach could only be considered mediocre, somewhat traditional and conservative. This might work in middle or high school, but out in society, she'd be directly outmatched by an old hand like Su Zelin.

Even during college, Luo Xi's advantages would completely disappear.

The mindset of college students is much more open than high school students'. Restricted by rigid rules for over ten years, they inherently long for a more avant-garde, energetic, and vibrant leader!

In reality, many college class monitors and high-ranking student council members aren't necessarily distinguished in both character and studies; there are more who are just socially adaptable, which is a marked difference from high school.

Even Yao Hui finds it incredible that as a freshman, Su Zelin's speech could possess such high-level linguistic artistry, effortlessly delivering ideas with humor, displaying boundless creativity, controlling the flow well, and showing sophisticated social skills.

If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to make such a brilliant speech.

The gap in skills between the two popular class monitor candidates is vast, like a contest between a child and an adult!

Completely not at the same level!

The outcome is decided!

Although the voting hasn't started, Yao Hui can already foresee the result.

"Time is precious, after rambling on for so long, I won't give any further unnecessary remarks! In short, if I become the class monitor, I'll make sure everyone enjoys great food and drink!"

Finally, Su Zelin ended with a slightly unserious summary, bringing his speech to a perfect close.

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted, and lasted as Su Zelin walked back to his seat, with many people still clapping vigorously.

Luo Xi suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Before the speech began, she was quite confident, well-prepared, and felt good about her impromptu delivery.

However, compared to Su Zelin, her seemingly impressive speech appeared to have no highlights.

She said a lot, but people might not remember anything.

Meanwhile, every word Su Zelin said left a deep impression on the audience.

In terms of speech impact alone, she utterly lost.

It's okay, being a class monitor is not only about eloquence, ability is more important!

Luo Xi quietly comforted herself.

"Third Brother, you're amazing!"

The spirited young man was now a staunch fan of Su Zelin; as soon as the slacker returned, he raised his thumb and didn't forget to canvass votes for his idol.

"You guys better remember to vote for Third Brother later; don't just focus on preferences, no one in our class is more suitable for the class monitor than him!"

After waiting for a while, no one else went up to speak.

Pei Wenzhe, who originally intended to run for class monitor, didn't even step up.

He was quite self-aware, having a notorious reputation in the class, and giving a speech would surely result in boos from the crowd, humiliating himself.

Class teacher and advisor Yao Hui stepped onto the podium again.

"The speeches from students just now were very impressive, showcasing a willingness to challenge oneself and a commitment to contributing to the class. Now we'll enter the public voting segment!"

"In a moment, each person will go up to receive a small colored paper; you can write up to six candidates' names on it!"

"The order of candidates from top to bottom will yield different scores: the first choice gets five points, the second gets three points, and the third to sixth all receive two points!"

The top two scores will be elected as our class monitor and vice monitor; the remaining positions will be allocated based on personal wishes and abilities!"

"You now have five minutes to consider and make your final decision!"

"..."

Quickly, five minutes passed, and the voting began.

The girl sitting at the far left of the first row started first; she walked to the platform, received colored paper from the class teacher and wrote down several names on the spot, then crumpled it into a ball and placed it into a transparent glass box on the platform.

Yao Hui, having been an exchange student, was deeply influenced by the foreign university mindset, which greatly values fairness, justice, and transparency.

This voting method indicates that no one can manipulate things behind the scenes, including herself.

Also, the voters won't be swayed by others in making their decision.
