Chapter 325: Chapter 325
"Made the wrong choice? How could it be possible!"
"Exactly, these companies of ours have existed for over a century, how could they possibly be wrong."
"Do we have to compete with ordinary people for jobs? As Star Core Warriors, I can’t accept that."
As soon as Lu Lin finished speaking, the students attending the meeting began to chime in noisily.
Lu Lin listened to their opinions but did not interrupt; he just sat quietly there waiting.
Once the noise gradually lowered and weakened, only then did Lu Lin lightly clear his throat.
"Hmm, everyone’s opinions are crucial, but I don’t see it that way."
"I’m not suggesting that the Student Council’s companies should enter some conventional civilian industries. As Star Core Warriors, I couldn’t do such a thing either."
"But don’t forget our purpose for establishing these companies."
"Is it for making money?"
"We, the students from Iron Blood, founded these companies to provide more and better job opportunities for our classmates, so everyone can achieve growth. If it’s just for making money, then we have no reason to do this."
"You all, just go to the Exotic Battlefield and hunt some demon beasts, and a single trip would earn you way more money than this, right?"
"I believe, whether it’s the companies we create or the students graduating from us, they carry the pride Iron Blood University has given us."
"To change the world."
Almost everyone looked at Lu Lin incredulously.
This idea is beautiful, but it’s simply impossible to achieve.
The federation’s systems have already developed to a peak; how can these students or a mere Student Council change the world? Lu Lin’s thinking is way too simplistic.
"Yes, to change the world."
"Within our federation, there are still many ordinary people who can’t receive quality education, and too many ordinary students who, after Awakening, can’t promptly undergo Star Skill Guidance. There are too many Star Core Warriors entering the Exotic Battlefield armed with the simplest F-grade alloy weapons, and many even treat their travel elixirs as lifesaving elixirs."
"Doesn’t such a world need us to change it?"
"I’m a Saturnite, previously had to loan millions to study on Blue Star. There, countless students immigrate due to study, and the high immigration costs weigh heavily on many families."
"Doesn’t such a situation need us to change it?"
"Recently, there’s been an Alien Race invasion, with organizations like the Black Shark Society and Wansui Mountain infiltrating our federation, probing our information, while we often find ourselves blindly on the defensive against Alien Race and exotic beasts."
"Doesn’t such a current situation need us to change it?"
"Reliable data indicates that the Alien Race now has over a hundred Star Generals, over two thousand Level 9 Experts, and even scarier, among exotic beasts, the demon beasts number more than three hundred, with Level 9 Experts being countless, beyond statistical measure. And what about us humans? The number of Titled Kings is just ten, and Level 9 Experts less than five hundred."
"Currently, we can survive under the so-called Big Shots of the Exotic Battlefield’s protection, but what about the future? What if we humans have no one to protect us, or those Big Shots leave the Exotic Battlefield?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ⓝovelFire.net
"Doesn’t such a crisis need us to change it?"
"Don’t always treat these issues as distant and unrelated things. We are able to enter Iron Blood University, making us among the best in the Human Federation. If we lack the courage and determination to face challenges and crises, then who can the Human Federation rely on?"
"Of course, these words have strayed a bit, let’s return to our main topic."
Lu Lin took a sip of the mineral water on the table and continued speaking before the students could react.
"To change, we must change this world."
"But changing can’t be just slogan shouting; we must implement it into action."
"I propose that our current forty plus companies should merge and integrate, combining parts of the External Relations Department and Finance Department to form a new department – the Development Department."
"And the Finance Department’s functions will be restructured and adjusted to manage the entire Student Council and its subordinate institutions, including managing financial situations, staffing arrangements, salary distribution, welfare benefits, while also accommodating familiarity with local policies, negotiations, contract drafting and other administrative work, renamed to — Logistics Department."
"As for the Discipline Department, the scope and manner of work also need adjustment; we are all students here, and there shouldn’t be any high or low distinction between students. The work of the Discipline Department shouldn’t focus on correcting discipline but should lead and transform the learning and cultivation atmosphere of the school. Every student in the Discipline Department must be a cultivation fanatic of the school, must be a training fanatic of the school, hence the Discipline Department will be renamed to – Academic Style Department."
"Regarding the Combat Department, hehe, in my view, this department is actually somewhat unnecessary. Of course, I have no opinion on Combat Department students, but having a department set up specifically to accept challenges from talented students of other schools, the vision is inevitably somewhat narrow."
"Instead of waiting at our door, why not proactively go out and challenge the geniuses of other schools, to promote the name of Iron Blood Academy. Therefore, the Combat Department won’t need a large number of people in the future, but each one must be an elite, additionally, our current teams preparing to participate in the University Games should also join it..."
Lu Lin paused for a moment here.
He had thoughts of sending the External Relations Department over as well. In the future, while the Combat Department engages in battles with gifted students from other schools, the students from the External Relations Department would negotiate and ally with their student unions.
In Lu Lin’s vision, changing the world cannot rely solely on Iron Blood University; uniting as many schools and talents as possible is the direction for future development.
However, he worried that it might be inappropriate to contact more schools and students when no achievements have been made yet.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Lin decided not to mention it for the time being.
Getting others to follow you is not something that can be achieved with mere words.
The Student Council of Iron Blood University needs to first achieve some results and demonstrate its strength to attract more schools to join.
"Yes, that’s how it is. In the future, the students of the Combat Department will train through actual combat. Everyone, don’t be afraid of failure. In my view, failure actually helps a person much more than success."
"Those who can stand up again after failure possess not only strong abilities but also a strong spirit and determination. Such people will have a place for themselves anywhere in the future."
"I deeply understand this as well. Ever since I succeeded in my awakening, I have never failed. Hence, I’ve developed an arrogant attitude, and I hope fellow students can often remind and urge me."
The other students in the conference room were surprised by Lu Lin’s sudden display of self-assurance.
Who didn’t know that Lu Lin was a freshman who had just awakened over three months ago?
Who didn’t know that Lu Lin reached the Level 6 Meridian Opening stage in just three months?
However, people didn’t know how bold he was.
"Well, I’m not joking anymore. The Combat Department will also be renamed. I have named it—Youqi."
"It means knights roaming on the outside; Iron Blood University will be their base of operations. Besides injuries, large exams, games, martial arts tournaments, or facing graduation, these Youqi students do not need to return to the school."
"Thus, the Development, Internal Affairs, Academic Style, and Youqi departments are all established. As for the Exotic Battlefield Department, we will discuss it after I have deeply understood the situation there."
"Now, everyone sit according to my instructions. For any needs, feel free to come directly to me. My contact number is..."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
The room fell silent.
Lu Lin had just taken office and had already made such significant changes, everyone needed time to accept and digest them, so no one raised any objections for the moment.
"Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll announce the new personnel arrangements."
"Li Dongfeng, you are relieved of your position as Director of the Combat Department and appointed as Director of the Youqi Department. Hang Jianshe will serve as Deputy Director. Students in the department will be selected independently, and the number should not exceed ten. Submit the necessary funds and equipment promptly."
"Zhou Zihang, you are relieved of your position as Director of the External Relations Department and appointed as Director of the Development Department. Cong Xiaolong will serve as Deputy Director. Quickly take over the work from the former Finance Department and complete the integration."
"Chen Yuyao, you are relieved of your position as Director of the Finance Department and appointed as Director of the Internal Affairs Department. Zhu Haolin will serve as Deputy Director. Clarify the department’s work swiftly. You have a task—to present three highly feasible investment reports within ten days."
"He Xia, you are relieved of your position as Director of the Discipline Department and appointed as Director of the Academic Style Department. Yao Zongheng will serve as Deputy Director. Director He, I have a task for you as well. I will return to the Iron Blood University Headquarters in a week, and if the students still appear lax and undisciplined, then..."
"I will present my head as proof." He Xia said boldly, even cupping his fists towards Lu Lin with a bold, knightly demeanor.
"Haha, that’s unnecessary. If the school’s atmosphere cannot be changed, then I will personally teach you a set of secret strategies for internal competition."
"Qin Shuang, you are relieved of your position as Acting President of the Student Union and appointed as Vice President of the Student Union, overseeing and following up on the reforms."
"Zheng Yulong, you are appointed as the Student Union’s Secretary of Secrets, responsible for assisting Vice President Qin Shuang’s work and reporting progress to me."
"Students, as times are changing, we, as outstanding students of the federation, must undertake the responsibilities given to us by history and the greater trend."
"Change the world, starting from every small thing."
"Let’s all work hard together."
Everyone present stood up and shouted loudly.
Their eyes shone with excitement.
They felt they could already see the bright future Lu Lin had drawn for them.
