Chapter 297 Entering a Key University for the First Time

Donghai City has a developed economy, but at the same time it also protects traditional culture very well. It has cutting-edge technology, first-class management in the country, and the accumulation of history and culture. Donghai University attracts people in such an environment where the old and the new blend. Thousands of students at home and abroad.

A 12-seater large commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of Tunghai University.

The door was opened from the inside, and the connecting rod pedal landed. Then several pairs of small black leather shoes stepped on it and walked down.

Yi Yang was wearing an exquisite black suit that fit him perfectly. He looked at the school logo on his chest and felt a little funny. This logo was also on the school gate, but he had never observed it carefully. Now that it is attached to his clothes, he feels confident After looking at it, it looks pretty good.

I have to say that key high schools are different. For this competition, just the suits given to a few of them would probably cost four figures.

Of course, what is even more impressive is that the organizer of this debate competition is the School Planning, Construction and Development Center under the Ministry of Education.

The venue of this National High School Debate Invitational Tournament is Tunghai University, and it can be said to be very scary.

Tunghai University is also one of the "top 3" universities in China.

Qingbei is recognized as the top two, and each university has its own version of the ranking. Those who can rank among the top twenty can in a sense call themselves top3.

Setting the location of the competition in this university, with its available resources and environment, is an extremely rare experience for high school students who are qualified to participate in this competition.

Xing Yingdan stood at the front and silently looked at the gate of Donghai University for a while.

Looking at the school gate alone, there is nothing surprising about Tunghai University.

The school gate is very narrow, with a driveway in the middle, but it can only accommodate two cars entering and exiting side by side. There are access control passages on both sides for people to enter and exit.

Zhan Chao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I could come to Tunghai University once before I went to college. I haven't gone to college yet, so I'm really curious about what it's like inside."

Liang Ruimin, who was standing next to him, said: "It's a big university...it's a big one! Hehe..."

Xing Yingdan: "Not necessarily. Some universities cover an area not as big as our school... Of course, those universities are usually ordinary three-year universities or some junior colleges. Donghai University must be huge, beyond your imagination."

The three of them are Yi Yang's teammates this time.

Yi Yang's eyes stayed on Xing Yingdan's face for a while, thinking to himself, this girl really loves debating. You know, she is already a senior in high school this year, and other senior students have either withdrawn from the debate competition directly, or are... Despite the name, the focus of life has long been no longer on the debate competition. Only Xing Yingdan not only became the captain of the debate team last semester, but she still has no intention of quitting after her senior year of high school this year.

Then he shifted his gaze from Zhan Chao to Liang Ruimin.

Needless to say, Zhan Chao had been in the same group before, so he knew them quite well.

He is also very interested in debating. He has made great progress in this year. As a second debater, his temperament has become very mature. His small eyes always reveal a hint of cunning inadvertently. It will be very difficult to compete with him. Headache.

And Liang Ruimin formed a team for the first time.

Liang Ruimin joined the debate team near the end of last semester. She is also a top student and is currently in the liberal arts class.

She is small, has short hair with bangs, and a touch of childishness between her eyebrows, but she has a quiet smile at the corner of her mouth, and has a calm temperament that will not panic when encountering anything.

Liang Ruimin is their fourth debater. It is said that one of this girl's strange hobbies is to do various essay questions for the public examination... The essay seems to be a test of composition, but it is actually a test of reading ability and information summarization ability.

And this is exactly the ability that the four debaters need to hone.

Behind the four of them is the instructor Lai Subin, who is also the leader of this competition.

Lai Subin pushed up his glasses and said: "Let's go check out the venue today. The draw will be officially drawn tomorrow. The entire schedule will be determined by one game. The preparation time for the first few knockout games is very short, only half a day. When it comes to the semi-finals , there will only be one day of preparation time. If everything goes well, we can stay here until the end. If we do not make it to the semi-finals, then we will have to go back early... Everyone, please work hard."

Donghai University is like many universities. As a university at the same level as Fudan University and Zhejiang University, there will be many foreign tourists who want to go in and see what’s going on. However, as the number of tourists has gradually increased in recent years, it is necessary to present ID cards. You can enter the school gate by registering. This is no longer allowed. Except for teachers, students and staff of the school who can enter by swiping their student cards and work badges, any other unit, organization or individual needs to make an appointment in advance.

Of course, it is not a problem for them who come here to compete.

Lai Subin completed the procedures at the gate guard, and the four of them followed Lai Subin into the school gate.

Yi Yang felt a little excited...

The past of the past life is shown in front of my eyes like a movie, and the countless efforts and feelings of this life since junior high school also flood into my heart.

This is the first time he has set foot on the threshold of university.

If it were the previous life, he thought that even if he entered the university, he would still be uneasy, nervous or even scared... and when he saw the students in the university, he would feel inferior, and he would probably try his best to pretend to be like them. And once someone discovers that his academic qualifications are not even high school, he will feel ashamed.

Isn't it because you have worked so hard for so long that you can one day enter such a top university with peace of mind?

After entering the school gate, there is first a long boulevard. This road is very long and bright. The sun shines on it. It is spotless. It extends out. At the end of the field of vision, there is a gymnasium, and the road suddenly turns there. other directions.

There was a sign that looked like a bus stop at the school gate... to be precise, it was a bus sign. Yi Yang looked up and saw that there were more than twenty stops on it, in order, the east gate of the school, the gymnasium, the School of Geology...

When I was wondering, I saw an electric sightseeing car driving over in the distance, stopped next to the station, and a full car of people got off one after another.

To be honest, Yi Yang was a little shocked when he saw this scene... Is there a bus in the school? Although this kind of bus is much simpler than the serious buses outside, this is inside a school!

Xing Yingdan smiled and said to the others: "Tonghai University only has this campus, so it covers a large area. Let's put it this way, it takes forty or fifty minutes to walk from the east gate to the farthest dormitory area. !”

Liang Ruimin asked: "Sister Xing, how come you know so well?"

"My brother graduated from here...I was here during his graduation ceremony. It takes half an hour to walk from their dormitory to the place where classes are held!"

Although he had already been mentally prepared, Yi Yang still felt very excited...

Is this a university?

There were not many students on the road, but there were quite a few. A few young people were walking outside the school with their books, chatting and laughing. The girl who had just returned to school on her bicycle was tired and panting, but she had a smile on her face. She probably went there just now. Returning from a trip somewhere in the nearby suburbs... several couples, holding hands, walked past Yi Yang and the others as if no one else was around.

Yi Yang feels that everyone has a confident temperament on their face, and their steps are rarely hurried. Maybe everyone's appearance is not amazing, but they can feel that no matter where they walk. This kind of calmness comes from the accumulation of knowledge... Of course, it may also be that a prestigious school filter has been added to them.

Then Lai Subin walked in front and took them to the lottery location.

Zhan Chao whispered: "You can fall in love when you get to college. It turns out it's true!"

Liang Ruimin covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Have you noticed this?"

Zhan Chao said with a bad smile: "Of course, of course you don't care about this..."

Liang Ruimin's face turned slightly red, and she secretly glanced at Teacher Lai Subin in front of her before glaring at Zhan Chao.

She was in love...so she naturally heard something in Zhan Chao's words.

Then Zhan Chao asked Yi Yang: "Yi Yang, do you also plan to fall in love after graduating from high school?"

Yi Yang smiled: "Young man, falling in love is not like playing a game. There is no progress bar. It sounds like a girl came to my door as soon as I graduated from high school..."

Zhan Chao rubbed his nose with his fingers and said: "I think before you graduate from high school, girls will come to your door. You damn successful cashier..."

"Ah……"

Then Zhan Chao looked at Xing Yingdan again.

But before Zhan Chao could ask, Xing Yingdan shook her head: "Boring."

Instead, Zhan Chao leaned over and said, "But having said that, Sister Xing, what kind of boy do you like?"

Hearing this, not only Liang Ruimin, but also Yi Yang looked over curiously.

Xing Yingdan said helplessly: "Why do you care about this? Do you mean you want to chase me?"

Zhan Chao said: "Is there anything not allowed?"

Liang Ruimin looked at teacher Lai Subin who was walking in front of him to make sure he didn't hear, and then continued to look at Xing Yingdan.

Of course Xing Yingdan wouldn't believe Zhan Chao's joke. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't be stupid, kid. No boy will accept my personality."

After listening to Xing Yingdan's words, Yi Yang's eyebrows moved and he showed a strange look.

Liang Ruimin couldn't help but ask: "I think you are very good. What's wrong with your character?"

Xing Yingdan shook his head: "I am a paranoid person at heart. When I have different views from the other party, I will definitely try to convince the other party until the other party is convinced by me. It's okay to be with you. The closer I am to you, the better. People, the more so, that is to say, I am essentially a very controlling person."

Yi Yang couldn't help but smile. This woman understood him quite well.

Zhan Chao said: "Then why don't you just find a boy who is willing to be persuaded by you?"

Xing Yingdan shook her head again: "What I want is that you can listen to me on everything, but boys who can do this often have no independent opinions, and I don't like boys who have no independent opinions."

When Yi Yang heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "You want the other party to have an opinion, but you also want to listen to you in everything. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Xing Yingdan smiled and said: "I ask the other party to listen to me, but I will not make trouble unreasonably. I am a very rational person. I will make a decision after weighing it. I also know that my personality is not very good." Okay, that’s why I said that I probably wouldn’t be able to find a boyfriend, or that even if I could find one, I would be broken up with.”

At this moment, Lai Subin from the front turned around and said abruptly: "There is still someone suitable for your personality."

Xing Yingdan was startled and coughed slightly: "Teacher, you are eavesdropping on our conversation."

Lai Subin slowed down, walked a little closer to everyone, and smiled: "Am I eavesdropping? I'm listening openly. Don't worry, everyone is close to adulthood. At your age, I confessed my first love, so Don’t worry, there is no generation gap between us.”

"Human personality is represented by a number axis. The more extreme the personality, the further away from the origin of the number axis. For example, if you are extremely controlling, we assume that your character can be placed at a position far away from the origin in the positive direction of the number axis. Of course, most people are very compatible with you, but if you have a personality that is also far away from the number axis in the opposite direction, you may be able to get along with it." Lai Subin continued.

Xing Yingdan snorted: "What Teacher Lai said is not practical at all. Who can't explain such an abstract theory?"

"It means you still hope to have someone like that in your heart, right?"

"Ah? Why did it suddenly come to this again!"

"Haha... When I see you, I think of my original self. What a lovely youth."

It took more than 20 minutes to chat casually all the way before reaching the downstairs of a teaching building.

Lai Subin explained: "This is a comprehensive teaching building, which is a large classroom used for large classes. Remember this place. This is where we will compete tomorrow. We will gather downstairs then."

Later, Lai Subin asked them to wait downstairs while he went upstairs to draw lots alone.

At this moment, Yi Yang's cell phone rang.

Yi Yang took out his cell phone and saw that it was Zhao Qiang, his eyes moved slightly.

Several others were slightly startled when they noticed Yi Yang's cell phone.

Hey...is that the iPhone 4?

"Hello?" Yi Yang answered the phone.

"Brother, I'm in Donghai City! We are arranged to stay at the Xingyu Hotel next to Donghai University. If you are free at night, why don't you come out and hang out?"

Yi Yang looked at the others hesitantly and whispered, "Okay, let's talk about it tonight."

"Okay, then you go about your business and I won't disturb you."

"Um."

Just when Yi Yang hung up the phone, Xing Yingdan suddenly cast his gaze over: "Yi Yang, don't even think about leaving the hotel!"

"Well……"

"Unless together." Xing Yingdan then said.

Yi Yang coughed twice: "Isn't it still early? Let's talk about it in the afternoon."

Not long after, Lai Subin went downstairs.

Several people gathered around.

Lai Subin handed over the defense question drawn by lot to Xing Yingdan. When she saw it, she was slightly startled.

Later, Lai Subin said with some admiration: "The quality of this competition is very high, which can be seen from this batch of debate questions. It can be said that these debate questions can greatly mobilize students' ability to search for information and think critically, even if they lose , the preparation process will also be very meaningful.”

"The theme of the first round of the competition is...the history you see is not necessarily the real history. All the debate topics are designed around historical topics, such as whether Lu Bu should assassinate Dong Zhuo and whether Zhu Yunqi should be killed. A vassal or something like that..."

"The debate topic we got was whether Xiang Yu should kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet. We are on the opposite side and shouldn't."

Everyone was obviously startled.
