1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 78: National Attention
In the winter of 1978, the new batch of freshmen reported for admission to colleges and universities across the country.

At the moment, the whole country is paying close attention to it.

Probably because these were the first batch of new students to enter the school after the country restored the college entrance examination system.

There are so many things to do.

From the official announcement of the policy in August last year, to the start of the exam in late December, to the subsequent recruitment of students, and to today, all over the country, freshmen who have made the list are rushing to their alma mater to register...

The whole incident lasted for about four months.

The chain of troubles caused by time rush are really piled up one after another.

To a certain extent, this is equivalent to adding a class of students out of thin air under the existing mechanism of universities across the country, which means that 27 more talented people have been squeezed out at once.

This brings about problems such as transportation, accommodation for new students, and matching of teaching resources.

There is no room for carelessness or sloppiness.

All provinces and regions, and all levels of education and publicity departments are focusing on this most important event, and they must strive to ensure that all the lucky ones on the list can enter the school safely on time, until all the new students’ enrollment registration is completed...

The capital city is where the highest concentration of universities in the country is located.

The workload of relevant units in Beijing is naturally the highest in the country.

The passenger flow at railway stations and long-distance bus stations has increased significantly in recent days, and almost all of them are the most gifted students from all over the country who come to Beijing to attend universities.

There is no such thing as smart navigation on mobile phones these days.

When you first arrive in an unfamiliar place and have no one to show you the way, even if you are a lucky child, if you accidentally meet some bad guys like pickpockets, you will be taught the most realistic, painful and ridiculous new lesson in life in Beijing, the best place in the country, where you will be slaughtered by bad people.

In order to avoid such incidents from happening, the only way is for the "relevant departments" to take action and provide escort for thousands of students who come to Beijing for the first time.

This shows how much the relevant departments have hated being overwhelmed in recent times.

In addition, the first enrollment process was unexpectedly joined by the nationally renowned news figure Lu Yifan, who held two admission letters from prestigious universities, leaving the suspense of school selection until the last moment.

Faced with such a thing, how could the leaders of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and propaganda-related departments not go crazy?

What's more,...

The direct superior leader in charge of these matters.

Among them, the two brothers of the Zhong family, Zhong Qingmin and Zhong Qingjun, are more like Mr. Lu's "former" brothers-in-law.

It was originally a happy event that made the Zhong family proud!
Now, this has turned into a very annoying thing that has made the entire Zhong family extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Brother, do you think there is any chance for the third sister to reconcile with that boy after they met today?"

"Qingjun, what are you thinking about?

At this juncture, let our sister take the initiative to ask for reconciliation?
Let’s not talk about this kind of thing. My sister can’t even say it out loud. As for this kid named Lu, he is currently at the peak of his career. Do you believe that he will be willing to agree to it?

Okay, let’s just keep this to ourselves and not tell anyone.

Otherwise, this will become a huge scandal that will completely ruin the reputation of our Zhong family.

Our parents have just resumed work for less than a year. Although we are insignificant people, we have to be on guard against someone taking advantage of the situation to take advantage of us..."

The two brothers of the Zhong family were hiding not far away and witnessed everything.

Actively expose Lu Yifan's exact whereabouts to the outside world.

There were even reporters from the newspaper who set up equipment at the intersection.

Making Lu Yifan endure a wave of cheers from the crowd at the T-junction, a place with the most people and eyes, were indeed small actions they had deliberately done.

They didn't have any bad intentions to sabotage us.

At best it would just cause a little trouble.

On the one hand, it was to see how Lu Yifan was able to cope with emergencies, and on the other hand, it was naturally to force Lu Yifan to quickly settle the issue of school choice.

Stop torturing others!
It should be understood that if Lu Yifan delayed making the final decision on school selection for one second, the relevant superiors would have to endure one more second of inner torment.

Especially when facing Lu Yifan, their identities are still so embarrassing. Do you know what the brothers are most worried about now?

What they were most worried about was that someone would ask about Lu Yifan's motivation for taking the college entrance examination in public...

What if this kid doesn't show mercy to my third sister?

He exposed himself in public, saying that he was inspired by his ex-wife, who was a child of a high-ranking official and an educated youth, abandoning him, so he decided to enter the capital city based on his own strength...

Once this is exposed...

That moment will bring disaster to the Zhong family...

The consequences are so horrible that I can't even imagine...

So, it is really tormenting for them!

……

Lu Yifan chased all the way into the Yan University campus.

"Teacher Liu, what are you doing? If you want me to enter our Yan University, just invite me openly. We don't have to steal someone's luggage!"

"Ha, classmate Lu, that's all your fault. If you had expressed your stance earlier and come to our Yan University, you wouldn't have said a word even if I, your teacher, had organized a large sedan chair to welcome you. You refused to make a clear statement about which school you would choose, so I, your teacher, have no choice but to bring you in first, and then we can have a good talk. Don't worry, classmate Lu, I've already asked someone to call Principal Zhou over..."

"No, no, no, it's not necessary..."

Lu Yifan quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Teacher Liu, please stop making trouble. But you are right. It's all my fault that I didn't speak more directly and clearly to the Yan University. This caused the awkward misunderstanding today. I apologize to Teacher Liu and all the teachers and seniors..."

Lu Yifan said this very seriously and bowed to everyone.

Mom!

When Teacher Liu Changqing saw this scene, he felt very disappointed.

I immediately had a bad feeling: You are being so polite to me, but you have already made the final selection for the National Tsing Hua University next door?!
"Student Lu, student Lu, please don't be anxious. No matter what decision you have made, please calm down and wait for a while. Can you tell us your decision after our principal Zhou arrives?"

"Oh, so that's it!" Lu Yifan was quite embarrassed, because he had asked Tsinghua University President Liu Ta to wait for him at the T-junction!
Because of this incident, I should have had serious communication with both schools and told them my true thoughts in advance.

We acted rashly!

This is seriously inconsiderate!
He couldn't help but think, since things have come to this point, why not ask someone to call President Liu of Tsinghua University to join in?
So I said embarrassedly:

"Well, Mr. Liu, I'd like to trouble you with one more thing. Do you think you can ask someone to invite President Liu of Tsinghua University to come along? I have some immature ideas that I would like to discuss with President Zhou of Yan University and President Liu of Tsinghua University..."

When Liu Changqing heard this, he was shocked again:
Master, oh my, master, what new, hot and boiling idea have you come up with?

We are here to study in college, we are adults, we can't always say and do things in a perfunctory manner!
In fact, Lu Yifan's performance at this moment made him suddenly recall that he had traveled thousands of miles to Qinxi Province years ago to snatch someone from this guy's village.

It was originally a simple matter of choosing one of two options.

Both he and Tsinghua University's admissions teacher Luo Fei had prepared themselves mentally.

As a result, just because I listened to some of the other party's "immature ideas", I was taken advantage of by this guy. I directly accepted the admission letters from both schools, but did not decide which one I would go to in the end.

As a result, the issue of school selection has been delayed until now.

After all, this guy later did some earth-shattering events one after another, the kind of super-big events that made the whole country famous.

Instead, it makes the already absurd problem of enrollment and school selection even more absurd.

It has become like this now, with everyone looking forward to it, and whoever is chosen will get the huge advantage.

But then I thought, this guy is such a great man that he could scare the two western neighboring countries and sign a huge military trade export order for 20 army divisions in one fell swoop.

Such special talents may be born with different brain circuits and ways of thinking than ordinary people!

So, what can we do? People are talking about "immature ideas".

Then let’s go and ask Principal Liu from next door.
