1998 was the 20th year of the country's reform and opening up. The country was changing with each passing day, and the eastern dragon that had been sleeping for more than a hundred years finally began to soar!
It was also this year that Ye Yihui took the college entrance examination, but in the end, he was a few marks away from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
In the end, his parents took out the down payment that they had originally prepared to buy a house and successfully sent him to Shanghai Jiao Tong University!
It wasn't a bribe. It was allowed by the policy.
Every major university had a few places for self-funded students. Those who did not do well in the college entrance examination could join by paying a considerable sponsorship fee. Their treatment in the university was the same as other students.
Of course, due to the limited number of places, there were naturally many self-funded students who had the money to enter the school. Therefore, whether they could succeed or not depended on their connections and connections.
At that time, Ye Yihui's parents also used their relationship with the leaders of their own units to find a direct leader of the Admissions Office at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. They spent a sum of money and spent a lot of effort to finally "buy" an admission letter for Ye Yihui!
However, in this era, relying on sponsorship fees to go to university was not a respectable thing. Therefore, Ye Yihui's family did not publicize it. Many relatives and friends did not even know that Ye Hui went to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Even Ye Hui's high school classmates only heard that he went to Shanghai to go to university.
People in this era were still very simple in their thinking. They felt that one had to rely on their own abilities to get into university. What kind of ability was it to spend money to get in?
Was it so great to be rich? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? Do you believe that I will report you that this money is embezzled?
In this era, most rich people were still relatively low-key. Unlike in the later generations, those rich people would donate to Harvard and Yale at will, and even make it known to the world. They would even say that they supported human education and scientific development. To put it bluntly, they were just buying a place for their children to enter school!
Alright, that was a little off topic.
There was surprise, surprise, scrutiny, and even a few hints of jealousy and disdain in their eyes!
"Mr. Mekoda! Don't spout nonsense!" Lin Youlin's face darkened as she shouted at Mekoda.
"I'm not talking nonsense! I heard it with my own ears!" Mekoda said," On the first day of school, when I came to report to school, I heard the counselor talking in the office! Teacher Lin, you should have been there too! I heard your voice!"
"You!" Lin Youlin's face darkened when she heard Mekoda's words!
Who would have thought that the counselor's casual chat in the office would be overheard by someone!
Lin Youlin's ugly expression naturally proved that what Mekoda said was true!
"So he spent money to go to university! It's good to be rich!"
"No wonder he said he would buy water for us every day. So he's the child of a rich family!”
"A person who can't even get into Shanghai University with his own abilities still has the face to come here to study? Haha!"
"That's true!"
“……”
Below the podium, the students discussed animatedly. Of course, only a few of them said such words. The vast majority of the students still had a good impression of Ye Yihui!
"The country allows you to pay sponsorship fees to attend school! Since it was legal and compliant, then what was wrong with Ye Yihui paying sponsorship fees to go to university?”Qin Keqing, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke!
"That's right! I'm not spending your family's money! What are you jealous of?"
"Since when did the school have a rule that students who pay sponsorship fees can't be class presidents?”
"Exactly!"
“……”
Ye Yihui couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the entire classroom turn into a mess.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Ye Yihui gently tapped the microphone three times. After attracting the attention of all the students, he smiled at everyone and said,"Seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic about the exchange, as the person involved, I can't help but want to chat with everyone!”
Hearing Ye Yihui's words, many students could not help but laugh. Even Lin Youlin, who was standing at the side, smiled!
This Ye Yihui! Everyone was already arguing, but it became a form of communication in your mouth.
However, it was Ye Yihui's words that eased the originally tense atmosphere a lot!
"Mr. Mekoda is right. I did enter the university through sponsorship fees.”
Ye Yihui's first sentence was to admit what Mekoda had said. This immediately made a victorious smile appear on Mekoda's face!
It's settled!
He had admitted it himself! Haha!
"However, just as Student Ke Qing said, this is allowed by the country. I didn't break the law or violate the rules, so I shouldn't have done anything wrong on this point!”
Ye Yihui glanced around and paused on the faces of the students who had just mocked him. Then, he said,"As for the few students who said that my family is very rich, I think you've misunderstood.”
"My parents are just two ordinary civil servants. After working diligently for more than 20 years, they only managed to save up the down payment for a house. Originally, they planned to use this money to get a down payment for a house this year. However, in order to let me go to Jiao Tong University, they took out a portion of the money to pay for my sponsorship. As a result, they can't even take out the down payment for the house now.”
"So, if I really have to say what I did wrong, it should be that I didn't study properly before! If I had worked a little harder in high school and studied a few more sets of exercise books, perhaps my parents would not have to spend this money and could have successfully bought the house they liked.”
"There might be some students who feel that it's unfair. Why should they work so hard and end up being classmates with me, a student who spent money to get in?”
"Actually, you should think about it from another angle.”Ye Yihui paused and said," It's precisely because you've worked so hard that you can sit here without spending a single cent of sponsorship money. What about me? But I spent tens of thousands to sit with you.”
"From this point of view, your efforts have not been in vain! At the very least, you've earned tens of thousands of yuan while gaining knowledge! Isn't this a huge profit?"
When Ye Yihui's words came out, the few students who were originally a little unbalanced suddenly felt that what he said made sense!
Then, the sense of imbalance in his heart slowly disappeared!
As for the students who originally had a good impression of Ye Yihui, after hearing these words, their good impression of Ye Yihui rose even more!
After he said that, the tense atmosphere in the classroom completely disappeared!
At this moment, Lin Youlin, the homeroom teacher, looked at Ye Yihui in shock.
Was this kid really a rookie freshman who had just entered university?!
This was too much!
With just a few sentences, the entire atmosphere and situation had been completely reversed!
Just as Lin Youlin was secretly praising Ye Yihui, Ye Yihui suddenly looked at Mekoda and raised three fingers with a smile."Finally, I would like to give some students three words.”
"Firstly, it's my business to spend money to go to university. It has nothing to do with you! So, what does it have to do with you if I spend money?”
"Thirdly, as a classmate, I have to give you a piece of advice: Don't be too much of a Mekoda!”
Mekoda's face instantly turned ashen!
