Chapter 59: Freshman representative at the symposium?
After a simple tidy up, it was time to eat.
The four of them left Dormitory Building No. 10 and went out to find food.
There are many canteens in Huaqing University, and they all have very elegant names.
He Shu and his friends didn't know where the best dishes were on their first day, but this is something they need to figure out slowly over time.
Li Mu led the way today. He was the only person in the dormitory who was familiar with the place.
Because he had come here specifically to visit before, he found that some places to eat, including a food court that had just been built, were a bit far from the dormitory.
So Li Mu took them to a nearby restaurant, where there were a lot of delicious food.
"I'm the host today, you can order whatever you want." Li Mu shook his flowing long hair and glanced calmly at a group of senior schoolmates who just walked past.
"If you really say that, we won't be polite." When the eldest brother Deng Hongyuan heard that Li Mu was going to treat them, he immediately pulled He Shu and the fourth brother Feng Haoxiang to order food.
Although they said you're welcome, no one felt comfortable ordering anything too expensive. So everyone took a plate, got some fast food, and found a table to sit down.
Li Mu generously swiped his meal card. At this time, he was not as arrogant as before.
He Shu has been taking pictures with his mobile phone since he left the dormitory. When he arrived at the cafeteria, he started taking pictures again after getting his meal and before eating.
The boss and the others thought He Shu was going to post on his space, but it turned out that these were all taken by He Shu for Xia Miao. Since he had promised, he had to do it.
After dinner, we returned to the dormitory, exchanged mobile phone numbers, and set up a dormitory QQ group.
After sending the photos to Xia Miao, He Shu took a few more photos of the dormitory and sent them to his godfather Zhao Qishui.
Then Zhao Qishui called and asked a lot of details, most importantly, what it was like living in the dormitory.
After chatting for a while about whether the people in the dormitory were easy to get along with, He Shu was about to try out the bathroom in the dormitory.
At this time, someone came to find He Shu and said that they were going to let He Shu attend the freshman symposium after the opening ceremony tomorrow.
When Deng Hongyuan and the others heard this, their eyes lit up with envy.
At the freshman symposium, you can sit down and chat directly with the school leaders.
It can be said that being able to participate in this as a representative of the freshmen has only benefits and no disadvantages for He Shu. At least he got to show his face in front of the school leaders, which deepened their impression, right?
There might also be reporters taking pictures, and maybe you can appear in the news.
He Shu didn't expect that he would be chosen. You know, although he was the top student in the province this year, he was not that good compared with the top students from all over the country.
The fourth child in their family, Feng Haoxiang, also got in with a score of over 720. The teaching staff in his hometown is far inferior to that of Danhe.
The effort required to get such a high score is several times more than He Shu's.
There were candidates who scored full marks , so He Shu didn't know why he was chosen.
And it was such a late notice?
I heard that the humanities department has confirmed the freshman representatives who will speak at tomorrow's ceremony this afternoon.
After the visitor left, He Shu was surrounded by his three new roommates, who were ready to interrogate him to see if he had any background.
He Shu shook his head in amusement. How could he have any background?
But since he has been selected, he can't say no. He Shu began to think, if he is asked to speak tomorrow, what should he say?
…
Xia Miao had been waiting for He Shu's message, and her cell phone finally rang during dinner.
When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed a lot of photos sent by He Shu.
"Miaomiao, don't look at your phone while eating."
Xia Miao's mother picked up some food for her and said, "You're going to college soon, so you must take good care of yourself when you're out there."
Xia Miao nodded and responded absentmindedly.
Xia Miao's father leaned over to take a look and asked: "Who sent this photo?"
"He Shu, I asked him to take some photos of Huaqing University for me."
When Xia Miao's father heard this, he also became interested and started watching it together.
"It's a famous school after all, the environment is great, and the food is good too."
Xia Miao's mother also came over and looked at a few pictures before saying, "So which is better, Huaqing or Dadu College, where our Miao Miao goes?"
Xia Miao's father laughed: "They are all the same, all famous schools, each with its own strengths."
The Xia family of three looked at the photos for a while and enthusiastically discussed the two schools...
On the morning of August 22, the opening ceremony for freshmen of Huaqing University was grandly held in the comprehensive gymnasium.
He Shu and his classmates followed other students in their class and found a place to stand. Looking around, they saw that the place was packed with people.
It is said that there are more than 3,300 undergraduate freshmen this year, and some parents of freshmen also attended the opening ceremony.
First the national anthem was played, then the president Chen Yuan gave a speech, followed by speeches from representatives of the deans and student union presidents.
There was also a girl who was a freshman representative of the Faculty of Humanities and gave a speech at the ceremony...
After the opening ceremony, there will be a seminar for freshmen undergraduates.
He Shugang was led to a conference hall by a teacher, but before he could enter, he was stopped by another teacher.
Then the two teachers whispered something in He Shu's ear in front of him, and the teacher who brought He Shu here earlier turned back with an apologetic look on his face.
"Student He Shu, there has been a temporary change. The quota for freshman representatives is full. Why don't you go back first?"
He Shu nodded, turned and left, but his impression of Huaqing University dropped a lot.
After all, it is known as the top institution of learning in the country, so why is it so casual about things?
The urgent notice last night made him think about the short essay in his mind all night, for fear that he would not perform well when speaking today.
As a result, now they have to notify others at the last minute that it’s enough. It’s really a joke.
After He Shu walked away, the two teachers began to talk in low voices.
"What's going on? Why was He Shu's place suddenly cancelled?"
Another teacher shook his head in embarrassment: "It's not me, it's someone who doesn't want He Shu to show his face in there."
"Why is that? He Shu's qualifications are sufficient. He is the top scorer in science in Liaodong Province, and his identity has been verified. An orphan without a father or a mother who was admitted to Huaqing through his own efforts is a good example to inspire students. Why can't he be the freshman representative?"
"That's why I don't want him to say it. Okay, don't ask anymore. Let's go to the meeting first..."
When He Shu returned to the dormitory, Feng Haoxiang looked up from a thick book and said, "Huh? Third brother, you didn't go to the symposium?"
Li Mu was playing games on the computer. When he heard the noise, he turned his head and looked without saying anything.
The boss Deng Hongyuan was not in the dormitory, so He Shu pulled out a stool and sat down: "They said there were enough people, so I don't need to go."
"Ah? How can you still do this? It was all settled last night? Where is the trust between people?"
"I don't know either." He Shu even wore a snow-white shirt for today's symposium.
He opened his closet, took off his shirt and changed into a T-shirt.
"Maybe someone will get in the way." Li Mu suddenly said, and laughed twice after that.
He Shu shook his head: "It doesn't matter." He didn't take it to heart.
"Where's the boss?"
Feng Haoxiang raised his head and smiled, "The boss said that since he has just arrived, he needs to make more friends to find more opportunities. He is out making friends and will be back for lunch soon."
I visited the department building in the afternoon, and I have a physical examination tomorrow, and then there will be military training.
The schedule was quite tight, so while there was still some time, He Shu stopped thinking about the symposium and took out an English book to read for a while.
