Chapter 13: Inquiry Session
The order of the gathering of junior high school students was very ordinary, giving the impression that it was like a group of rabble gathered together without knowing the situation - of course they did not know the situation, and they were noisily trying to prove something.
In this situation, if the guidance is good and vague words are used to satisfy the idea of "participating in politics" among these children, they will naturally disperse. However, if the guidance is unsuccessful, it will make them even more excited.
——Usually at this time, the school will send teachers to guide the situation, often by earnestly persuading Xiaochun to take responsibility to calm the situation.
Therefore, regardless of my intervention, if I were to organize this inquiry meeting, the most important thing would not be to answer the other party’s doubts, but to satisfy the other party’s desire to question, with answers that are ambiguous but seem correct.
Responding to the other party's doubts lightly - which is usually the so-called diplomatic way to solve the problem, is the best choice.
I did not tell Sonoda about this suggestion. If she made this suggestion, it would only make President Kimura and Koharu suspicious. After all, it is not in line with her serious character.
Therefore, if things go smoothly, I also hope that Xiaochun and the others can adopt more flexible methods.
Then, from a distance, I watched President Kimura Minami of Qingquan Middle School stand up, clear her throat, and said: "Well, let's get started! Today's question meeting is mainly to solve everyone's questions.
Some questions, the sports festival is about to start. If the student union can give you a satisfactory answer today, then I still hope that the students will make every effort to prepare for the sports festival."
I don’t know President Kimura’s ability. Apart from her high degree of tacit understanding with Koharu, I don’t see anything outstanding about her. However, the position of student council president is never necessarily filled by the most capable person.
, because of the sensitivity of this position, it is easier to unite students, and will not easily offend others, and even a person who is not very sharp will be more likely to serve as the student council president - the kind of person who is decisive in killing.
The student council president who controls the school through means generally does not exist in reality.
President Kimura seems to have this kind of personality. At least, Koharu, who has been tortured by me for two years, should be better than her in terms of decisiveness in handling things. Such an opening statement is also in line with her personality.
However, such a slightly weak and conceding opening statement seems a bit inappropriate in this situation. The weakness of the student council president will make these students who are not sure whether their doubts are valid have a feeling of "they are right"
"At this time, their problems will be more tricky and their ability to quibble will be stronger.
Of course, if the party being questioned is well prepared, it is also a good choice to invite you into the urn, but the problem is that the preparation of the party being questioned is not that sufficient.
Sure enough, after President Kimura said these words, the crowd below became commotion, and then a boy who looked energetic was elected and seemed to become the temporary representative of these students.
I don’t believe that this kind of recommendation is an accidental recommendation. The vast majority of students who come to watch the excitement will not want to speak. Therefore, even if this boy has nothing to do with the previous attack on the student union, he has at least done a good job.
Preparation for questioning - As for whether this is to satisfy his own desire to resist authority, or whether he really has a secret agenda, I have no choice but to make a decision.
The boy didn't speak loudly, but when he spoke, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, which also allowed his clear voice to be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone around him.
And his question went straight to the core from the beginning: "The students want to know whether the student union has betrayed the interests of our Qingquan Middle School classmates, or whether some people in the student union are working with Sobu.
Gao’s negotiations betrayed the interests of our Qingquan Middle School classmates.”
This is a very insidious question. From the beginning, the questioner was not prepared to attack the entire student union. If the unity within the student union is not close, then in the end this question can easily turn into a question about Xiaochun personally. At that time,
This time the doubt was successful.
"The members of the student union always have the same idea. This is undisputed. Any decision made by anyone in the student union during negotiations with other schools is the result of the collective discussion of the student union." However, it is also true.
As I know, at least at this time, the student union headed by President Kimura is still firmly on Koharu's side, and will not let Koharu fight alone, nor will the student union be divided.
"Then, please ask the president to explain the students' doubts?" The boy in the audience nodded slightly and said.
"In fact, we don't know where this rumor of the student union betraying the interests of classmates comes from," President Kimura nodded, probably using the rhetoric he had prepared, "As everyone knows
In this way, when this student union was established, the school faced some small crises. The cooperative relationship with Qingquan University Affiliated High School was cancelled, so many students' opportunities for on-campus recommendation no longer existed. From the perspective of our student union, this in itself
It should be the decision of the board of directors and has nothing to do with us. However, with the idea of helping our classmates, the Qingquan Middle School Student Union still tries to contact other schools to establish new cooperative relationships - please note that between us and other high schools
When we contacted, we got permission from the board of directors, but we did not get their support. We were completely spontaneously looking for better opportunities for students to further their studies. It was also at this time that we were lucky to be able to cooperate with Sobu High School
, I would like to ask, for such a cooperation opportunity that we have fought for, why should we betray the interests of our classmates? We have worked hard for so long, is it just to betray the interests of Qingquan Middle School? Before this, we and Sobu High School had any
entanglement? So, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the so-called student union will betray everyone's interests in the negotiations with Sobu High is simply nonsense, isn't it?"
Just like President Kimura's first words, this answer also caused quite a stir among the students - but this answer should be an expression of trust in the student union. It can be seen that although Sonoda
The vice-president said that Xiaoharu and the others were not well prepared, but their defense was blameless. On the one hand, it exaggerated the silent efforts that the student union had made for their classmates. On the other hand, it also
He pointed out that the other party's doubts were completely unfounded. At the same time, this doubt also perfectly avoided Xiaochun's personal issues.
Most of my classmates may not know the relationship between Xiaochun and me, and the possible consequences. They have only heard the rumor that "the student union may betray the interests of classmates", and when the student union cuts off the basis for the rumor,
, they will naturally be more inclined to believe in the reasonable side.
The boy who asked the question seemed satisfied and sat down.
This is often the case in middle school student inquiry meetings. The middle school boy on one side feels that he knows the truth about the world, so he tries hard to express his attitude. However, when the authority on the other side proves his mistake with irrefutable facts
At that time, he seemed to have no more reasons to defend himself confidently. For him, perhaps, at least the fact that he had appeared as a questioner was more important than the purpose of his successful questioning.
This is a middle school student full of idealism - much cuter than a high school student, or someone who thinks they are mature and "must prove they are right".
"However, some people say that at the beginning of the negotiation, the student union of our school had an advantage, but in the end we directly agreed to a relatively equal cooperation plan without Sobu High School knowing anything about it. Can we think that,
The student union is a little eager for quick success in this regard, so why did it give up the opportunity to fight for greater benefits for everyone?" A girl wearing glasses stood up and asked.
From the perspective of the question itself, it is a bit tricky, but if you look at the overall situation, this question actually has no impact - even if the mistake in this aspect is admitted, for the student union, it is just a technical mistake.
, will not affect the trust foundation of the student union itself. Compared with directly questioning the student union itself at the beginning, now questioning the improper implementation of the student union is simply too childish.
"About this issue, let me, who was mainly responsible for the negotiations at the time, explain it!" Koharu and President Kimura looked at each other, took the microphone, and said, "Although I don't know where this classmate heard this rumor from.
, but I think the person who told you the news only told you half of the news. We did have a big advantage at the beginning - this advantage was based on the fact that Sobu Gao knew nothing about the situation on our side.
In fact, everyone should be clear that we want Somu Gao even more than Somu Gao wants from us. We can gain an advantage in the initial stage of negotiations only by relying on the imbalance of information. But
, in the case of Sobu Gao's long-term unwillingness to make major compromises, the risk of our situation being exposed is increasing. Rather than remaining in a stalemate and being seized by Sobu Gao, it is better to do it when we have
It would be better to reach an agreement first when there is an advantage, wouldn’t it?”
Of course, what Koharu said is not entirely true. She was forced into desperation by the service department, and with some inexplicable tolerance from Yukinoshita and I, she managed to achieve a result that was barely acceptable to her.
.However, under her explanation, the student union seems to have become an organization that has tactfully evaded the situation despite knowing the crisis, which can actually add color to the performance of the student union.
"But how do the student unions judge that Sobu High School might know our position at that time? If we compromise too early, does that mean we lose some interests?"
"This classmate," Xiaochun looked at her with a smile and replied, "how do you judge whether we will lose more benefits if we persist at that time? Or, if you are the student union, then you are willing
Do you take this risk for all your classmates?”
The questioning girl nodded silently and sat down.
So far, the question session held by the Qingquan Middle School Student Union has been much easier than I expected, and I believe it was also easier than all the student union members on the stage expected.
Most of these doubts about the student union are unfounded. As long as Koharu and the others are well prepared, those unfounded rumors can naturally be shattered. This is the best effect that this kind of public inquiry meeting can have.
However, this kind of ease is only based on the fact that no truly vicious problems have arisen.
The students in the audience kept whispering to each other, and began to feel that the student union's performance was very appropriate. When they were about to leave, an unexpected voice rang: "Just now, Secretary Sugiura mentioned, 'As time goes by, Sobu High School learned that we
The possibility of our position is getting bigger and bigger. So, I am more curious about how Sobu High School can learn about our position? Of course, I know that we have so many students, and you don’t know.
Knowing the negotiations between the student union and Sobu High School, it is understandable that the school's information was exposed. Even if they were determined to investigate, they did not need to go through our students and could directly discover this issue from the official announcements between schools. But
——”
The boy who raised the question stood up, and I saw the familiar highlighted blond hair in front of his forehead.
"——But, I am making a very presumptuous hypothesis here. If the person who leaked this information is a member of our own student union, what should we do?"
"Asada-san, I think President Kimura has explained it very clearly just now. All members of the student union will not and have no reason to betray the interests of their classmates, let alone take the initiative to expose our own trump cards during negotiations.
This kind of thing." Xiaochun frowned and replied neatly.
"Of course, I have never questioned the meaning of President Kimura's words just now, and I have never thought that members of the student union would take the initiative to betray the interests of their classmates," Asada, the current director of Qingquan Middle School's football department, revealed a look that made people look real.
The disgusted ridicule turned into a smile, and said, "I was just wondering if it was possible that some people in the student union 'unintentionally' leaked our secrets when their own minds were unable to control their emotions? What do you think?
Does what I said make sense? Secretary Sugiura?"
On the podium, Xiaochun's face turned pale.
The eyes of the students who were still a little distracted just now were also focused on Xiaochun. A dark and gloomy atmosphere slowly enveloped the student council members who seemed very relaxed just now.
