I really don't want to skip a grade

Chapter 221 Anti-routine pretense at the public defense meeting

After a troubled weekend, another Monday came.

Life is a symphony in which the bright side and the dark side are constantly intertwined. No matter how much undercurrents Xiao Dong had with his mother-in-law and Cheng Zhenqiang over the weekend, when he returned to the vibrant Huaqing campus, Xiao Dong finally returned to his sunny and handsome self. came as a college student.

This afternoon is Huaqing University’s public defense meeting for this year’s special scholarship, but Xiao Dong didn’t waste any mood or time on it. Li Yishu helped him revise and correct the PPT. stocks.

He was still quite nervous when he started to speculate in stocks. He doubled the leverage of the newly obtained 600 million yuan and divided it into three stocks again. This way, Li Yishu's small fraction of funds were not counted, and he raised it himself. There are already more than 2400 million funds floating with the tide in the sea of ​​stock market!
Although this amount of funds is insignificant compared to the one billion yuan manipulated by Cheng Zhenqiang, it is already a considerable sum of money for Xiao Dong at present. The stock market tide fluctuates casually, that is hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Round, don't let him not worry!

I met Cheng Zhenqiang this weekend and didn't talk to him about the situation, and he just patronized and fought. Think about it, what a waste of opportunity.

Xiao Dong is somewhat regretful now, and has made up his mind to go to Suyuan after school today, under the guise of giving Cheng Zhenqiang an opportunity to apologize, and then explore his plan of becoming a farmer.

Apologize?

That's right, Xiao Dong has made up his mind to apologize to Cheng Zhenqiang. For a battle that is destined to be very long, it's completely fine to lower your head temporarily to confuse the opponent, and Xiao Dong won't take it into consideration.

What's more, he would only apologize to Cheng Zhenqiang when he and Cheng Zhenqiang were together in private (it is estimated that Cheng Zhenqiang would not be able to bear an apology in public), so it was completely fine.

Keeping a close eye on the stock market and the K-line trends of the three stocks, he was nervous. Although the expression on his face was still calm, Xiao Dong, who didn't talk much, still made people see something unusual.

After class, he was hiding in a quiet place in the corridor and staring at his phone. Miao Xiaolong and An Huibo came over. Xiao Dong calmly turned his phone to another unrelated page, which was a little fast, and casually clicked on the search. The search record entry under the column, by coincidence, was redirected to an introduction page for the Huaqing Special Scholarship in his search record.

Miao Xiaolong looked at the mobile phone in his hand, patted Xiao Dong on the shoulder and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone said you can be selected. After all, you have a lot of dry goods. There are two fire songs, and the deed of climbing the fifth floor to save people, if you can't make it in the selection, then the selection will not be fair."

An Huibo echoed on the side: "Yes, I see that the introduction materials of a few candidates are actually quite watery, and there are not many dry goods."

"Thank you." Xiao Dong patted the shoulders of the two without explaining anything.

At this moment, Du Chen strode over, slapped Xiao Dong heavily on the shoulder and said, "It's published! Our SCI article was published! Damn it, it's really time! Xiao Dong, hurry up and add this article!" Into your PPT!"

"Fuck, this is going to stir up the rhythm of the defense meeting in the afternoon!" Miao Xiaolong sighed, "All the good things will be taken up by you!"

An Huibo shook his head silently, feeling that he really had nothing to say.

Du Chen smiled and said: "You two are working hard too. I recently submitted another SCI article myself..."

Miao Xiaolong pulled An Huibo and left: "I can't communicate with the two animals!"

……

In the afternoon, the Huaqing University undergraduate special scholarship defense meeting was held in the back hall of the main building. 15 candidates from 16 departments will participate in the on-site defense. In addition to Xiao Dong and Li Hui who represented Tongbo College, Xiao Dong and Li Hui participated in the defense. For other departments, one candidate is admitted per department.

Li Hui's mood was a little gloomy. He already had a premonition that the special scholarship that he had great hopes of winning would probably be ruined.

Xiao Dong's quota is basically stable, and it is very difficult for a department to select two people, and his own grades are not very strong, so there is a high probability that he will be eliminated.

Xiao Dong's mood is relatively stable. Although in this very high-end occasion, the seats are full of teachers and students, as well as senior leaders of the school, and high-level guests invited from outside, such as academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, etc., but he is a superior He has participated in some large-scale occasions in his life, and he has participated in many occasions in this life to speak, so he is not very afraid when he is in such an occasion.

Then, the defense meeting officially began. Candidates stepped up to the podium to speak and defend, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

Because he found that although Huaqing University is full of talents, it is actually difficult for most of them to make any substantial breakthroughs in the short time of undergraduate study, except for a few candidates who have one or two hard work. In addition to grades, most of the other candidates are actually nothing more than excellent academic performance, or have participated in some practical activities, have been affirmed by so and so, and then express their ideals and ambitions.

that is it.

(Well, if others knew Xiao Dong's psychology at this time, he would probably be kicked out of the gate.)
This year, no candidate as stunningly talented as Chen Xuejun appeared (Chen Xuejun received a special scholarship in his sophomore year last year, and did not participate in the selection this year), after all, it is too difficult to come up with such a person.

So this year, Xiao Dong made some calculations in his mind. As a freshman, his grades can indeed be regarded as eye-catching.

After a junior boy named Huang Jiaqi in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (except for Xiao Dong, the candidates for the special scholarship this year are all juniors), it was finally Xiao Dong's turn.

Huang Jiaqi's achievements are quite dazzling. He ranked first in the three-year research results of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and as a non-sports student, he has won the men's team championship in the college table tennis competition in the past two years, and the Kyoto Table Tennis Team Championship. The runner-up of the competition team is also a very important achievement in Huaqing University, which has "no sports, no Huaqing".

So there will still be some pressure on who will be the next player.

But Xiao Dong is not among them.

Professor Yang from Tongbo Academy's introduction to Xiao Dong immediately overshadowed Huang Jiaqi.

"He skipped directly from senior one to senior three, and entered Tongbo Academy with the national top scorer in science.

He used the vacation after the college entrance examination to practice the piano to level [-] or above, and released two new songs after school started. He wrote and sang by himself. At present, these two songs have been on the Huaxia Music New Songs Chart!
He collaborated with his classmate Du Chen, and as the first author, published "Nonlinear Functional Functions in Nonlinear Conservation Laws" in the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, which has an impact factor of 3.3. The best application!
His total score in the midterm exam ranked first in Tongbo Academy!

He won the title of outstanding student in the military training at the beginning of the school!

He bravely climbed five floors with his bare hands and rescued a boy who was trapped outside the fifth floor window. He won the courageous act of righteousness award from the government! "

Well, Professor Yang's introduction to Xiao Dong is completely devoid of water, because it takes so long to talk about dry things, so there is no time to talk about water!
As soon as Professor Yang finished speaking, the whole hall was silent for a while, and then thunderous applause broke out!
As a freshman candidate, his hard points surpassed all the results of any previous junior!
Xiao Dong walked onto the podium amidst thunderous applause. Then, unlike the other junior brothers and sisters who were all impassioned, he seemed a little shy.

"Well, thank you everyone. It's my first time to participate in such a high-end meeting full of talents and guests. I am very honored and also very nervous..."

He is so shy, and even looks a bit cramped, strangers think he is really nervous, but if there are people who are very familiar with his usual personality and the experience he has traveled along the way, they will definitely understand him. He was very surprised by his performance at this time, and then he would easily see through his tricks, which was just another kind of pretense.

Deliberately pretending to be immature and shy as a freshman should be, just to win everyone's favor and ensure a steady victory in the following selection process.

Otherwise, if a freshman has achieved such brilliant and dazzling results, he will inevitably arouse some people's resentment when he speaks on stage and then pretends to be generous.

Of course, he was not always like this in his speeches, and his speeches gradually became smoother and more fluent, and they were completely unscripted speeches.

However, because his speeches have always been relatively simple, low-key and down-to-earth, everyone has never felt his aggressive edge during his speeches, which almost made everyone in the hall maintain a good impression of him.

Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Xiao Dong understands this truth very deeply, and he also restrains himself appropriately when it is unnecessary and inappropriate to act violently, so that he can blend in with everyone silently.

This is really the old wisdom of an adult.

In the subsequent defense session, some academicians and cadres of the League Central Committee raised questions to him, and he answered them easily and satisfactorily.

When he finished his defense and walked off the podium, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause again!

After Xiao Dong's defense, three more people participated in the defense, but they never received Xiao Dong's warm applause again, and no one in the entire defense meeting received Xiao Dong's warm applause.

It seemed to be a matter of course, in the final selection session, Xiao Dong got the highest number of votes!

Of course, this is not the final result. This selection result is only submitted to the school council as a reference material for the special scholarship selection. The final list of winners will be deliberated and determined by the school council before being announced on the school’s information portal.

But there is no doubt that Xiao Dong's award is a certainty.

The principle of Huaqing University Special Scholarship is awarded to those students who have developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and physically, and have the best overall qualities, or students who have outstanding expertise or contributions in one aspect and are also outstanding in other aspects. Xiao Dong undoubtedly possesses the principles of awarding awards.

So Xiao Dong had just finished participating in this public defense meeting when the mechanical voice of System Overlord rang in his mind.

　Thank you very much for the reward of 100 coins from Qianlongwudian!
