“Professor, why have we been sent here?”
At the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, a sophomore looked blankly at the teacher sitting next to him.
The other two students and the two teachers also looked puzzled.
The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine was at least a school with some fame. How come its stall was assigned to this darn place?
They did not really mind being placed on the second floor. But since the stall was also assigned on a rather remote spot, they could not help but doubt whether the exhibition center wanted them to have a chance to recruit new students.
The two teachers from the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine also appeared to be depressed.
Originally, with Fang Qiu’s fame, the university could definitely attract a lot of people to consult about the recruitment. But who knew that their stall was placed here?
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Another teacher who knew the inside story gave a wry smile and remarked, “I heard that it’s rumored that the other universities have reached a unanimous opinion. They said that the influence of our university is so great that it will affect their admission consultation, so they have unanimously decided to place us here.”
Upon hearing that, the three sophomores of UJCM at the stall immediately felt both proud and indignant.
They were proud because their university had fully shown its influence and it even started to scare other universities.
And what made them indignant was that those universities actually joined hands to suppress UJCM. It was really shameless!
“It’s understandable if you think about it.”
A teacher nodded and said, “It seems that this year’s enrollment is relatively easy. In the past few years, very few people came to our place to consult. Moreover, many of the students we recruited were those who accepted redeployment. But things might be a little different this year.”
“After all, there is a Fang Qiu in our university.” The other teacher chuckled.
At the thought of Fang Qiu, they couldn’t help being proud.
In contrast to the two teachers, the three students just looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Judging from the conversation of the two teachers, the three of them were all the students who had been redeployed there.
Even so, the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine’s minimum passing score was usually a little higher than those of the first-rate universities. There were slight differences between various majors, but generally speaking, the enrollment marks were more or less the same.
Therefore, those who were admitted to UJCM all had real capabilities. Yet, compared with Fang Qiu, they could only be regarded as redeployed appliers.
“By the way,” a slightly flabby teacher, who was already sitting behind the consulting desk, said while unscrewing his bottle of water, “I heard from the school that there will be another student coming later.”
“Em?”
The three students were dazed. One of them immediately asked, “Professor Yang, if so, why didn’t he come with us?”
Professor Yang shook his head, then, said with some curiosity, “Maybe he has other things to attend to first. Anyway, it’s good to have one more helping hand. Otherwise, the five of us might not be enough to handle this consulting session.”
“Yeah.”
Another well-proportioned teacher nodded.
Shortly, it was 9 o’clock in the morning.
The consultation meeting officially began.
At the high-speed railway station in Jiquan, Fang Qiu, wearing a cap and a mask, just got off the train.
Walking out of the high-speed railway station, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and logged into his Weibo account.
“The students who have taken this year’s college entrance examination, my future junior classmates, and the lovely staff working hard at the Consulting Session for College Admission, here I come!”
The post was sent.
Then, Fang Qiu put his phone away.
He just went out of the high-speed railway station. Without hesitation, Fang Qiu got into a taxi waiting for guests at the gate and headed straight for the International Exhibition Center in Jiquan.
A long time ago, Chen Yinsheng talked with Fang Qiu about college enrollment. At that time, Fang Qiu had already promised to help with the enrollment. So, as soon as the Consulting Session for College Admission began, Chen Yinsheng immediately asked Fang Qiu to rush to the session. His purpose was to recruit more students from Qilu Province, for those students were down-to-earth, diligent, and hard-working. Also, the passing score was quite favorable for Qilu Province. Those students were very suitable to study Chinese Medicine. Therefore, Chen Yinsheng wanted Fang Qiu to go to this event in person.
When the consulting session officially began, countless students and their parents, who had been waiting outside the exhibition center, immediately rushed in and began to consult the minimum passing score of each university to see if they had a chance to be admitted.
However, most of those students and parents stayed on the first floor.
In comparison, people on the second floor were much fewer.
The most important thing was that the universities arranged on the first floor were obviously the top ones.
When the students and parents saw the names of those first-rate universities, their feet were simply glued on the first floor. Regardless of the high passing score, they still squeezed their way to the stalls to ask all sorts of questions. After confirming that they had no hope of being admitted, they bitterly turned to the next university. And for those who were sure to get into that university, they would still consult at the stall for a long time, and then went to the next one to consult the same issues for comparison.
On the second floor, the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine was not busy at all.
Because there were not many people on the second floor and their stall was located in a remote position, few people came to consult for the time being.
Nevertheless, though the consulting session had already begun, there was still a student who hadn’t arrived.
The two teachers were both slightly dissatisfied.
“Why hasn’t this guy come yet? Do all the students like to put on airs now?”
Professor Yang, the slightly overweight teacher, complained to himself.
“Alas, our students nowadays don’t even pay attention to enrollment. How could he be still late on such an important day!”
The other teacher began to criticize the student being late.
“By the way,” Professor Yang suddenly asked, “Old Li, do you have the last student’s phone number?”
“No, I don’t.”
Professor Li shook his head and said, “I was going to ask you. Well, the students nowadays know nothing about punctuality.”
“Never mind it.”
Professor Yang shook his head and said with a smile, “We don’t have many visitors at the stall. And there is certainly not a shortage of manpower yet. Let’s just do the work by ourselves for a while.”
After that, everyone began to perform their duties.
As time went on, more and more people came to the second floor.
Soon, a few students gathered around the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. They all admired the university and came specifically to look for its consulting stall.
The first that came to the stall was a very comely young man.
“Hello, professors.”
The young man took a look at the banner first. After making sure that he had found the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, he headed toward the consulting desk with a smile and took a seat. The young man greeted the two professors first and then inquired, “I really, really want to apply for a Chinese Medicine university. I’ve got 600 marks in the science major. Could I be admitted?”
“There should be no problem.”
Professor Yang smiled merrily and said to the young man, “600 is already a high score. This year’s passing line is 440. And we no longer have different passing lines for differently-rated majors as we had in previous years. So, this passing line is basically the line for second-rate majors. And based on the previous cases, the line for first-rate majors is around 540. So, 600 is a very good score. There shouldn’t be any problem for your admission.”
“Really?”
The young man’s eyes lit up at once.
“Really. Since you have the intention of applying for the Chinese Medicine major, I will introduce the majors of our university to you first,” Professor Yang said with a smile.
“Professor, don’t bother. All I want is to see Fang Qiu.”
The young man immediately shook his head and waved his hand to stop Professor Yang from getting to the introduction of the majors. After that, he quickly asked, “Will I see Fang Qiu in the university if I get admitted?”
“Yes, you will!”
At the side, a sophomore student nodded with great certainty and said, “Fang Qiu will become a sophomore next term.”
“That’s great.”
The young man was very happy.
Afterward, the two teachers and three students received a couple of students who had taken the college entrance examination. Those people had looked specifically for UJCM. As expected, they had all came here for Fang Qiu.
On the other side, when Fang Qiu’s post was released, it immediately caused a big stir in his fan group.
“Gee! Fang Qiu actually went to the Consulting Session for College Admission?”
“Which place’s Consulting Session for College Admission did he go?”
“Did he really go there?”
“Those in the third year of high school, do take a good look around when you go to the Consulting Session for College Admission. Maybe Fang Qiu is next to you.”
In all kinds of exclamations, some people proposed such an idea. As a result, all the students attending the consulting session began to check around for Fang Qiu.
Many college-student-to-be responded with enthusiasm.
“Didn’t see him at the one in Shangqiu, Zhongzhou Province!”
“Not in Linzi, Qilu Province.”
At 9:30 a.m., after half an hour’s taxi drive, Fang Qiu finally arrived at the gate of the International Exhibition Center in Jiquan.
On the way, he had already been informed of the position of the stall, so he didn’t need to look for it. After getting out of the car, without even taking the hat or the mask off, Fang Qiu directly weaved his way through the crowd and went up to the second floor.
“Professors and fellow students, sorry I’m late.”
Before he arrived at the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, Fang Qiu quickly apologized to the two teachers and students before even removing his hat and mask.
“You’re not too late.”
Professor Yang smiled and said, “Change your clothes first.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly went to change his clothes.
“The student who just arrived—”
As soon as Fang Qiu went out after changing his clothes, Professor Li handed him a stack of leaflets and said, “There are too few people coming to the second floor. The stall of our university is not well-located. It can’t go on like this. You go to those crowded places and distribute these leaflets. Let’s see how it works then.”
“All right.”
Fang Qiu took the leaflets, and then, went to the first floor at once.
Although he had changed his clothes, his hat and mask were still on.
Of course, Fang Qiu had no intention of exposing his identity.
If he pompously showed who he was in public but no one turned out to know him or gave him face though they knew him, how embarrassing it would be!
In order to prevent this possible embarrassment, Fang Qiu could only start distributing the leaflets as he was told.
“Hello. Nice to meet you…”
Coming to the first floor, Fang Qiu sent out leaflets while greeting the people who cast curious looks at him from both sides.
“Hey, the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine?”
A young man took a leaflet, glanced at it, then, immediately ran back to Fang Qiu and asked, “Are you a senior at the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded as confirmation.
“Great, I’ve been looking for the stall of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, but I haven’t found it yet. Can you tell me where the consulting desk of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine is?” asked the young man.
“It’s on the second floor. That way.”
Fang Qiu held up his hand and pointed at the stall.
“Thank you. I’ll go and have a look later.”
The young man thanked him, then turned around and left with a smile.
After that, Fang Qiu continued to distribute the leaflets.
Yet, every time Fang Qiu handed out a leaflet, the people taking the leaflet came to ask where the consulting desk of UJCM was. Everyone showed great interest in UJCM and said that they would definitely go to have a look.
Fang Qiu gradually came to the gate while handing out the leaflets.
Fang Qiu casually offered another person a leaflet and was about to move forward. Just then, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.
He turned around to have a look.
It was the precise young man who took his leaflet a moment ago!
