1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 72 School Starts

On the campus of Tsinghua University, an on-campus event to celebrate the Lantern Festival and welcome new students is being intensively prepared.

The entire Tsinghua University campus was filled with a vibrant scene. Senior students and freshmen who arrived a few days in advance all spontaneously participated in the welcoming and Lantern Festival activities. The face of every teacher and student was filled with joy.

This year is so special.

The first batch of new students entered the school after the full resumption of the college entrance examination, and just after the New Year.

Both the school and the students want to make this freshman orientation and Lantern Festival celebration a lively duet.

Enough to be the most precious moment recorded in history.

Because everyone knows that this is the most special, most worthy of cherishing and caring for, and it may also be the only time to welcome the new year in winter.

From now on, the country’s college entrance examination system will be completely restored to its previous state.

Every summer, seniors graduate.

More than a month later, new students enrolled.

In this way, the cycle repeats itself endlessly, which is the true iteration that conforms to the cycle of nature.

Moreover, every new student who enters school in the future will have to rely on their real talents and bravely cross that single-plank bridge.

Only true winners can step into the university campus and become one of the many chosen ones in the ivory tower.

Like that evil person who was recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers to enter the school...

From now on, it will be completely swept into the dust of history!
"Hey, classmates, have you heard? There will be a super talented person in our new class, a powerful guy who is famous all over the country..."

"My friend, you are talking about the guy who successfully negotiated a huge military trade deal for 20 army divisions!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What's that person's name? Lu Yifan. Oh, yes, that's his name. I heard that he was also admitted to Tsinghua University, right? I just don't know which department he will be assigned to. It would be great if he could be in the same class with this person..."

"Student, you'd better wake up as soon as possible. This person may not come to our Tsinghua University in the end!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that this person is determined to get into the best university in Beijing. He also holds admission letters from both Tsinghua University and Yan University next door. How come you don't know this?"

"I've heard of it, but who would dare to believe such a bizarre thing?"

"Of course, let's take us for example! Who wouldn't be going crazy if they were admitted to Tsinghua University? Who would dare to act pretentiously and want to choose between Tsinghua University and Yanjing University at random..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, everyone is talking about this strange guy, Mr. Lu? Haha, so have you guessed which side Mr. Lu will choose in the end?"

"It should be our Tsinghua University!"

"That's right. When it comes to the best university in Beijing, it has to be Tsinghua University. The one next door is just a little bit behind..."

Because of Lu Yifan, many students, young and old, gathered together to chat enthusiastically.

In reality, a man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

This top science student from Qinxi Province holds admission letters from both Yenching University and Tsinghua University.

As the news of the military trade deal of 20 army divisions made a sensation across the country a while ago, the "glorious" deeds of Lu Yifan, one of the great experts in military trade negotiations, who was approached by two famous Beijing universities to poach him when he was choosing his college entrance examination application, also became famous across the country.

Among the students of Tsinghua University.

Curious teachers and students naturally have a strong interest in exploring the truth about the past glorious deeds of this prospective alumnus. Therefore, when Lu was working as a farmer in his hometown, he could not bear the disappointment after his beautiful educated youth wife returned to the city early, so he decided to sign up for the college entrance examination. He was not afraid of the difficulty of graduating from a high school with a shallow cultural foundation, and worked hard to get into the capital and follow his wife to Beijing...

A series of anecdotes that were obviously far from the truth spread widely among teachers and students.

Therefore, Mr. Lu is not only an expert in military trade negotiations, but he is also a passionate person in terms of emotions.

This legendary story has made Student Lu even more famous...

What’s even more miraculous is that, due to some unknown mysterious factor, the big and small things that happened to Lu Yifan have now become known to almost everyone in the world.

However, as for the beautiful female educated youth wife who moved to the city early in the story, the outside world knows very little about her name and family background, and it is almost impossible to find out.

Similar scenes.

At this moment, the same thing is happening on the campus of Yanda University, which is separated from Tsinghua University by a wall.

When teachers and students were discussing Lu Yifan, the prospective alumnus, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

Who will be the top university in Beijing? Judging from the current external opinion, Yan University is clearly at a disadvantage.

In the office of the president of Yanda University.

Principal Zhou Peiyuan once again called over Liu Changqing, the admissions teacher who was responsible for going to Qinxi Province to recruit Lu Yifan.

"Teacher Chang Qing, you and Yifan still failed to get in touch in advance?"

"Principal, we have been in touch. I went to the General Political Department Art Troupe again yesterday. This time, classmate Lu did not stay at home to create. It is said that classmate Lu has completed the creation of a new song specially composed for the spirit of 'Three Don't Believes'. Classmate Lu finally had time to meet me..."

"And then? Yifan still hasn't made a clear statement. Which side will he choose?!"

"We have almost reached an agreement. The school selection fee offered by our school is already very generous. According to your instructions, I have even promised Mr. Lu in person that during the next four years at school, any application for funds for scientific research projects that Mr. Lu intends to participate in will be handled with special care and approved and allocated 100%..."

"And then what? Can you please stop hesitating when you speak? And what went wrong in the middle? People from Tsinghua University came to your door, right? And you were intercepted by those shameless guys from Tsinghua University, right?"

Liu Changqing had a guilty look on his face.
"President, to be honest, Tsinghua University's scientific research and experimental infrastructure, as well as related funding, are indeed far superior to our Yan University. I can't... I can't just lie to attract people! But don't be impatient, President. Student Lu didn't agree to Tsinghua University's request. Instead, Student Lu asked the man surnamed Luo, "Did Tsinghua University give a clear answer to the things he said last time?" As a result, the man surnamed Luo looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Student Lu was asking..."

"Huh? What's going on?" Principal Zhou asked in surprise.

Liu Changqing recalled it carefully again, and then he was a little uncertain:

"Last time in the village, I remember classmate Lu asked whether Tsinghua University could guarantee that all teachers and students would actively participate in the flag-raising ceremony held every Monday... Yes, that should be the sentence, and then classmate Lu mentioned something about the school selection fee..."

Principal Zhou was even more surprised.

He was unwilling to believe that Mr. Luo Fei, who was in charge of recruiting students at Tsinghua University, would really forget about such a small request.

As for why Lu Yifan emphasized the flag-raising ceremony on university campuses so much.

In the past, he would probably be confused:

You are a new college student who has finally braved the difficulties and entered a prestigious university. Isn't your mission in school to study hard and improve your abilities so that you can accumulate more foundation and strength for your future life after graduation?

Whether the school holds a flag-raising ceremony or not, does it have anything to do with your admission and further studies?
But now, look at what earth-shaking things others have accomplished as a student, Lu Yifan, in just two short months after the college entrance examination.

Not to mention that this student has now transformed himself into a formal cadre of the General Political Department Art Troupe...
