For Autumn Beam, Huang Zhitian, and the others, the start of university was a joyous occasion. After all, they could play with their classmates again, so there was nothing to worry about. However, for some students who were not from wealthy families, every school term was a disaster that they wanted to avoid. The college fees were high, and their families could not afford it. Although there was a policy of applying for a loan to pay tuition fees, other than that, living expenses were not a small expense. There were many students like this in every class.
Autumn Beam realized that ever since school started, Yang Mo, who was in the same dormitory as her, had been unhappy and seemed to have a lot on his mind. One evening, after Autumn Beam finished her call with Xie Ling, she saw Yang Mo alone in the dormitory. He had made a cup of green tea and was listening to music on the balcony.
"You really have a sense of life. What are you thinking about?”Autumn Beam asked him.
"Nothing, just a small matter." Yang Mo replied with a smile.
"Impossible. If it's not something you can't tell me, then tell me.”
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of money. I had just settled the school loan, and I still had a problem with my living expenses for this semester. When I came, my parents said that they would try their best to pay me, but seeing how troubled they were, I couldn't bear to see them.”
"Don't worry. Don't you have a scholarship for the second year? Besides, haven't you always been working part-time to earn extra money? Otherwise, we can also give you some compensation.”
"It's said that it's very difficult to get a bursary. As for your financial aid, there's no need for it. I'll rely on myself.”
"You have ambition. I like it. You said that it was difficult to get the bursary. Why did you say that?”
"I learned from my senior brothers and sisters last year that each class has more than ten places, but there are more than twenty people who signed up.”
"I don't believe that everyone is poor. Didn't you need proof of poverty to apply for a scholarship? Could this be fake?”
"Hmph, don't you believe me? They really have proof of poverty.”Yang Mo smiled faintly.
"That's impossible. So many people have applied, who will be given the spot in the end?”
"There are too many monks and too little porridge. We can only hold a class meeting to decide and then report it to the academy. If the academy has approved it, it's considered a pass."
"Since it's decided by the class meeting, then you have a big chance. Hu Shi is the class monitor, Liu Qi is the secretary of the Youth League, and the public opinion is on our side. Which class meeting is not under our control?”Autumn Beam said confidently. It was originally nothing, but after what he said, it seemed like there was a shady deal behind every class meeting.
"Sigh, you can control the class meeting, but others can control the approval. If the academy doesn't approve the person you applied for, let's see what you can do. Haven't you heard of the saying,'the devil is ten feet higher than the Tao?'”
"It can't be that evil, right?" Autumn Beam didn't quite believe it.
"I don't know if there really is, but a senior brother said so.”
Autumn Beam believed that this was just nonsense. A student wouldn't have such a remarkable ability. The highest stipend was only 3,000 yuan. No matter how beautiful a student was or how good her grades were, the school's leaders had no reason to do such a thing, right? Although he didn't believe it, his heart was still a little shaken. 'There's no smoke without fire'. There might be something fishy going on.
The freshmen would be reporting in a few days, so they didn't have the time to think about it. According to tradition, the reception work for the freshmen was done by the second-year students. According to tradition, every sophomore had to be a volunteer. There was no need to sign up. Everyone could get the honor of being a volunteer. The first class meeting of the sophomore year was to arrange the volunteers to receive the new students.
"This class meeting is very short, so it won't take up too much of everyone's time.”Hu Shi said," I'll simply report the mission that the academy has assigned to us.”
Liu Qi, who was standing at the side, continued Hu Shi's words,""Everyone knows about tradition. None of you can escape. There would be no classes for the three days that the new students would be receiving them, but everyone had to be at work. The academy would check on them every day. If anyone was found to have escaped, not only would they be punished, but the entire class would also be punished. It was also possible to apply for leave, but one had to apply one day in advance for the approval of the school's leaders.”
"Alright, I'll start reporting the mission now. Our class's main task is to be responsible for bringing the new students from our school to the registration area of the library from the place where they get off at the school gate. Of course, if they need it, we will bring them to the dormitory and canteen. Also, new students usually bring a lot of things with them. We have to help move them to the dormitory.”
"Ah?" Everyone was in an uproar.
"Ah what?" Everyone fell silent again. This kind of mission did not sound too tiring, but it was hot under the sun. It was inevitable that one would sweat when walking around such a large campus.
"Then, do you have any questions?”Hu Shi asked in satisfaction when he saw that no one was complaining.
"I have a question!" Ge Bin raised his hand.
"What is it?" Hu Shi expected Ge Bin to be straightforward and was afraid that he would coax him again.
"I have a very serious problem to ask you, because if we don't get the instructions from the higher-ups and act recklessly, there will definitely be problems. At that time, not only will it affect our class, but it will also affect the reputation of our school and even the entire Jianggong University…"
"Then I want to hear what kind of problem is so serious that it affects the school's reputation.”
"Then can you make the decision?" He deliberately used the word " you " and habitually raised his head at a 45-degree angle, looking down at Hu Shi with a smile.
Hu Shi was provoked this time. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said,"What question? Don't talk so much nonsense. Just ask!”
Ge Bin said calmly,"If a freshman girl asks me to help her move her luggage to the dormitory, should I go or not?" Everyone knew the school's rules. Unless there were special circumstances, boys were not allowed to enter the girls 'dormitory. Otherwise, you will be punished."
"Why didn't you go in when she told you to? Just because you were afraid of being punished, are you still a man?”Hu Shi asked him with a smile.
Ge Bin didn't say anything and just smiled.
Autumn Beam found it very strange. What was so funny about this sentence? Liu Qi obviously didn't understand what was so funny about this sentence. He continued Hu Shi's words and added,"Please rest assured that the school has a special rule regarding this. During the reception period, boys can register with their student ID to enter the female dormitory.”
Hu Shi was still laughing non-stop. Liu Qi walked closer to him and knocked on the lecture table. Only then did he suppress his emotions.
"Now, do you have any questions?”
The students below didn't make a sound, but Ge Bin was still laughing softly.
"In that case, let's end the meeting. It was eight o'clock on Saturday morning at the school gate. Everyone, don't be late.”
After everyone left the classroom, Autumn Beam stopped Ge Bin and asked,"What was so funny about Hu Shi's words that you guys laughed so happily?”
"Don't you understand? "It's just…" Ge Bin wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What is it?" Autumn Beam frowned and asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing. Hahaha." Ge Bin smiled and left.
At 8 am on Saturday morning, all the students of Class 3 gathered at the school gate. As expected, no one dared to be absent. After the roll call, everyone set up the tables and chairs, opened the banners, and put on the armbands of the " volunteers." It was still early. After more than half an hour, no one came, so the students began to chat in groups of three to five, sitting or standing. At around nine o'clock, their first mission arrived. The students of Class 2 picked up the new students from the train station and handed them over to Class 3 at the school gate.
"Come, come, take your positions. Go! GO! Come and stand properly." Hu Shi shouted for everyone to get up.
There should be more than ten of them in the car. If the distribution ratio was 1, the people in Class 3 might not be able to get enough. Therefore, Hu Shi and the other class committee members had a simple discussion and decided that the new boy would be assigned one receptionist while the girls would be assigned two. Because the bus could arrive at any time, everyone had to go and return quickly. This cut off some people's thoughts. They were originally prepared to communicate with their junior sister. Wasn't there a saying in school? -- "Love your country, love your family, love your junior sister, and protect yourself from fire and theft.”
"Sigh, damn it, it's so hot. She moved the girl's luggage to the sixth floor and didn't even thank me. Did she think that it was only right for me to work for her?”Ge Bin wiped the sweat off his forehead, picked up a bottle of water on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
"After all the hard work, didn't you even get a chance to talk?”Autumn Beam put down the wooden sign that read " New Students of the School of Chemistry " and teased him.
Ge Bin frowned." It's really easy for you to talk. I wanted to hit on you, but I was rushing back. We have to climb up and down. It's very tiring, and you're still making sarcastic remarks.”In fact, there were many students like him who were dissatisfied. Some felt that the work of others was easier, while others felt that the work of others was not as tiring.
"Yes, it's easy for me to talk, but my arms and throat hurt badly. As soon as I saw someone come in, I had to raise the sign high and shout. My arms and voice felt like they were going to be crippled.”
Ge Bin carefully examined the wooden token and weighed it. It was indeed quite heavy, and it was not easy for him to lift it like this. She sighed and said," It's really tiring. I don't know who came up with this idea to force us to be volunteers.”
"Don't complain so much. Didn't our senior brothers and sisters take over us last year?”
"Hey, I didn't ask them to pick me up. They didn't come to pick me up willingly, and I didn't want to be picked up by them.”
"Excuses! You didn't reject him when he helped you, but after he helped you, you still said that he was overthinking things.”
Ge Bin didn't deny the kindness of others, but he was disgusted by this kind of forced " willingness to help others ". He was even more disappointed that he didn't receive gratitude after helping others. Therefore, he used these words to mock himself. "Yes, they are unreasonable, but the new students nowadays are unreasonable. They simply don't know what's good for them.”
"Alright, it's their business if they don't know how to be polite. We just have to do our own thing. Besides, it's not like all newcomers are rude. You'll definitely meet a polite and sweet junior sister.”
"Yes, I like hearing that."
As they spoke, another group of new students arrived. Autumn Beam quickly stood up and raised the wooden sign high, shouting,""School of chemical engineering! Freshmen from the School of Chemistry, please come over here!”Ge Bin and the others immediately went forward and took the bags from the freshmen. There were complaints, but when the mission came, they had to complete it seriously.
