Chapter 501 - 240: Starting Cambridge Life from Scratch (Part 2) (6.6K)_4

Yesterday, this senior met me with enthusiasm. Xu Yun smiled and nodded at him:

"Senior Jones, good morning."

However, what he didn’t expect was.

Yesterday, the senior who welcomed him with a smile merely glanced at him indifferently and strode towards the other end of the hallway.

Xu Yun:

"..."

This top student from Ke Da of the 21st century started his life at the University of Cambridge in 1850 with a cold eye.

Note:

Writing all night again, will fix typos after waking up, begging for Monthly Pass!!!

This month’s data is crucial, I can’t say too much specifically, but I am pleading for Monthly Pass, as there are no double Monthly Passes this month. Friends who have Monthly Passes, please support!

On the contrary, one point differing from adaptability was Xu Yun’s personality. He was too mature. And Xu Yun’s maturity wasn’t a pretense; it was a maturity imbued with life’s experiences, so much so that even Thomson felt inferior at times. That’s precisely why he entrusted Wheat to Xu Yun, because what he was going to do next, although not life-threatening, involved equally complex maneuvers. For even a brief moment, a peculiar idea popped into Thomson’s mind. But after much hesitation, he abandoned the thought. Staring at the solemn Thomson in front of him, Xu Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "Mr. Thomson, Maxwell is my friend, taking care of her is certainly not an issue." "But may I ask boldly, what are you planning to do next that you won’t even have time to return to the dormitory?" Thomson raised his head and met Xu Yun’s gaze for a few seconds and frankly said, "I plan to run for the President of the Student Union at the University of Cambridge this year." (Actually, the University of Cambridge only has a Chairman, but although this term isn’t censored, it reportedly locks Chapters if used too often, so it’s uniformly called President.) Xu Yun was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately understood. No wonder Thomson was acting like he was entrusting someone with a mission. So he’s planning to run for Student Union President. Unlike other universities, influenced by college autonomy, the University of Cambridge also allows student self-governance. Therefore, student organizations have always had a very significant voice at the University of Cambridge. For example, Aveline. She was merely the Minister of Internal Affairs, yet she could determine the dormitory allocation from undergraduate freshmen to doctoral students, without needing the school’s approval. This power is actually somewhat beyond scope for students, and it remains the same even if she’s Little Niu’s descendant. If that’s the case for the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Student Union President is even more significant. To put it bluntly, anyone who could become the Student Union President at the University of Cambridge, regardless of whether they pursue a scientific or political career afterwards, could potentially become Royal Society directors or Lower House MPs. Currently, Thomson is one of the few ’Angels’ in the Cambridge Apostle Society, and having completed the task of introducing Wheat, he indeed qualifies to run for Student Union President. Also, judging by Thomson’s transformation into Kelvin in his previous life, frequently appearing on various occasions, it’s not hard to see that this renowned physicist has somewhat of a political fascination. Hence, his candidacy for President is completely plausible. However, unlike the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Student Union President at Cambridge has two unique traits: First, the Student Union President at the University of Cambridge does not exist every term. This is easy to understand, as it’s daunting to lead all school representatives annually. On the local timeline, the last Student Union President was Tennyson, nearly 20 years ago. Secondly, the University of Cambridge requires a candidate for President, if unsuccessful, to immediately leave the school, marking their records as discontinuation. This rule has deterred many students interested in running for President. Discontinuation, often confused with progression, actually pronounces "yi" and describes an exit slightly more respectable than dropping out, but not quite respectful. Many later enterprises refuse to hire those with discontinued statuses, more so in 1850. Hence, for Thomson, his personality differs vastly in terms of adaptability. His maturity wasn’t a pretense; it was a maturity filled with life’s experiences, so much so that Thomson at times felt inferior. That’s why he entrusted Wheat to Xu Yun, because what he was going to do next, although not life-threatening, involved equally complex maneuvers. For even a brief moment, a peculiar idea dawned upon Thomson. But after much pondering, he abandoned it. Facing the serious Thomson, Xu Yun pondered for a moment, responded, "Mr. Thomson, taking care of Maxwell, my friend, is certainly not an issue." "But may I boldly ask, what are you planning to do next that you won’t even have time to return to the dormitory?" Thomson lifted his head, met Xu Yun’s gaze for a few seconds, and frankly disclosed, "I plan to run for the President of the Student Union at the University of Cambridge this year." (Actually, Cambridge only has a Chairman, but although it’s not a censored word, reportedly overusing it locks Chapters, thus it’s uniformly called President.) She was merely the Minister of Internal Affairs, yet she could determine the dormitory allocation from undergraduate freshmen to doctoral students, without needing the school’s approval. This power is actually somewhat beyond scope for students, and it remains the same even if she’s Little Niu’s descendant. If that’s the case for the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Student Union President is even more significant. To put it bluntly.
