Part Three The Dark Road Chapter 218

The noisy June finally passed in a week of beautiful days, and the provincial capital MK ushered in a more restless July.

Exams, holidays, travel, going home, working... These things have become the themes of the students on the streets of August 21 this month. The old students left and the new students have arrived. Last year, after a year of training, the young men in the school all had a "fried stick" smell on their faces. After a year of hard work in the school, they learned a lot of things, such as what classes can be escaped, what classes cannot be escaped, what teachers are loose, what teachers are strict, what classes are useful, what classes are useless...

In less than half a year, the dream of freshmen above 70 at Southwest Associated University was shattered.

With Chu Zhendong's departure, the principal's throne fell on He Qiang without any suspense. The newly appointed principal, with the banner of reform, "reformed" in the school with a "dramatic and rapid reform" and "old ill-behind the times!" "Follow the pulse of the times with the spirit of carrying on the past, seize the opportunity of educational reform, and strive to build Southwest Associated University into a world-class university." (--He Qiang's speech)

How did the new principal carry out "reform"?

In just less than half a year, there were dozens of honorary doctoral degrees from Southwest Associated University personally sent by Principal He. A comedian came to Southwest Associated University for a walk around, and Principal He was preparing to give him an honorary doctoral degree, and he also exposed this matter to the media in advance. Unexpectedly, the actor was just acting in comedy in the movie, but he did not intend to play the comedy on himself. He politely declined when he knew the weight of honorary doctoral degree. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want it, but others will naturally want it. Southwest Associated University frequently extended olive branches. For a time, athletes with big pockets were all rich and prosperous.

The bosses, senior civil servants with black hair on their heads gathered in Southwest Associated University. They all became honorary doctors of Southwest Associated University. In the past six months, the auditorium of Southwest Associated University has been empty for a few days. Our President He took this opportunity to frequently appear in various media, talking about the education reform of Southwest Associated University with a school of scholars. It was a Harvard and a Cambridge. For a time, President He was very popular and his appearance was almost comparable to that of movie stars. During a TV interview, He Qiang was even more proud, "Just give me ten years, I can turn Southwest Associated University into another Oxford!"

Does Oxford also hold meetings all day long? This is a question that entangled in Southwest Associated University. Since He Qiang became the principal, except for the price of food in the school cafeteria, the one that makes everyone feel the deepest is that there are suddenly more meetings in the school. Those meetings are issued in the form of administrative orders. Every college, every department, and every class must follow the orders, without exception. What are those meetings? At the meeting, either study documents or study the speeches of leaders. They either talk about their experiences or praise whom they praise. After the meeting, they often have to write "improvement plan" and "ideological report", which is not counted if the words are less. That meeting is endless. Someone has counted that when Principal Chu was there, those meetings and meetings were not as high as He Qiang's current one year.

Class meeting, symposium, symposium, xxx learning meeting, xxx exchange meeting, xxxx summary meeting...

He Qiang pointed out even more bluntly at a school conference, "...we must place the strengthening of students' ideological and moral construction in the first place in the school's work."

There will be more such a thing, and there will be less time. The free academic forum and professors held by Southwest Associated University in the past were flooded with such a group of people.

A student at Southwest Associated University was dissatisfied with the fact that there were too many things in the school now. He wrote a joking and satirical article "Wang Laoer Selling Pigs" with many meetings published in Southwest Associated University's school magazine "Polaris". When most people smiled knowingly, Principal He was furious. Under He Qiang's order, "Polaris" was suspended. The editor-in-chief of "Polaris" magazine, the president of the Beidou Student Literature Society of Southwest Associated University and the person who wrote the article were all punished by the school with a serious demerit.

In the past, when Principal Chu was there, the school rarely interfered in the daily operations of those student clubs. The clubs that students organized spontaneously also supported and encouraged more, and the orders were less involved. Therefore, all student clubs in the school were very proud. However, He Qiang took advantage of the opportunity of rectifying the Beidou Literary Society and "Beidou Star" to clean up the clubs in the school. All the clubs of Southwest Associated University will be under the leadership of the school's student union from then on. From then on, the chairman of the school's student union was no longer elected by students, but was directly appointed by the principal...

Some students were very dissatisfied with Principal He’s decision, so they spontaneously sat in the school to protest. Unexpectedly, Principal He didn’t even shook them, and directly sent someone to say something. If they didn’t leave after half an hour, their school status would be cancelled.

The students had no choice but to disperse. After all, there were not many people who could give up their studies and give up their future for such a little thing. A few of them were determined to see that everyone had left. It was boring to sit there and just one or two people were sitting there, so they left.

Wang Zhengbin originally joined an organization called Southwest Associated University Student Hacker Alliance in Southwest Associated University. During the Purchase of Student Organizations by President He, the hacker alliance was forcibly disbanded, and several persons in charge of the hacker alliance were also remembered as a serious mistake. Regarding hackers, President He is very simple - hackers, aren't they just people who use computers to make trouble all day long? How can Southwest Associated University to tolerate such a group of students? They even let them develop a club, that's fine, and they must be banned immediately. Wang Zhengbin actually wanted to tell that President He that hackers do not only destroy. Those people are just a few of the hackers, and most hackers are very principled...

Unfortunately, Wang Zhengbin didn’t have this opportunity. Principal He, who was busy with meetings all day long, was busy with newspapers and TV, did not give him this opportunity at all.

The old student union president is a senior student and has already left office in the next semester. So, the new student union president of Southwest Associated University was born. It was a girl. Before that girl came on stage, rumors about her spread in Southwest Associated University. Many people claimed that they had seen it with their own eyes. One morning, Principal He bought a new BMW special car and sent the woman back to the girls' dormitory...

Wang Zhengbin, who was devoted to studying, was not in the mood to pay attention to these rumors. For him, no matter who is the president of the student union, it has nothing to do with him. Since the Hacker Alliance was disbanded, several hard-core members in the alliance have transferred their daily activities to the "underground". No one has ever used the banner of clubs. They have changed their usual gatherings outside the school. They have found a cheap place to get a pot of tea for fifteen yuan, and seven or eight old men can talk around the pot of tea for an afternoon. Otherwise, the re-expanded Yilong Internet Cafe is also a good place for them to gather, because with Long Liexu's instructions, Wang Zhengbin doesn't need to spend half a penny wherever he goes. Wang Zhengbin now has only one thing - a computer.

This is how things are. The more you are unintentionally, the more you will hit. The reason why Wang Zhengbin came to Southwest Associated University was that the computer department of Southwest Associated University was famous all over the country. In the computer department, there was a professor who was Wang Zhengbin's idol. The professor was a returnee with a double doctorate degree. He was very young, only in his thirties, and he had a monograph on computers. He was hosted by a gold signboard of Southwest Associated University - the Computer Laboratory. The professor was invited by President Chu himself from abroad. As soon as he arrived at Southwest Associated University, President Chu promoted him to professor. The professor was knowledgeable and approachable, and was very popular among students.

Wang Zhengbin still remembers that professor taught them the last class. In the last class, the young professor did not talk about computers at all. Instead, he told everyone about the humiliating history of this country over the past hundred years, the Opium War, the relationship between science and technology and modern industry, and many other things...

The professor was a little excited, but he suppressed himself. After the get out of class was over, the last paragraph that the professor said to them was, "The era of human computers has arrived. I used to believe that computers, as the greatest invention in human history, will definitely completely rewrite human history. Its impact on us, our society, and our country will be in all directions. More than two hundred years ago, Westerners invented the steam engine, thus far away from the entire East. We are always complaining now, Why can't anyone in our country invent the steam engine? Now that Westerners have invented computers, we are one step behind them, but as long as we work hard, we can catch up now. I don't want our descendants to repeat our regrets now. In the future, you will have their own future, and some may go abroad. Now, you are sitting in the classroom, you close your eyes, quietly, and look directly at your heart. Have you felt anything, do you feel the heavy historical responsibility that is pressing on you..."

When Wang Zhengbin and many of his classmates opened their eyes, the professor had already left.

That was the last time Wang Zhengbin saw that professor at Southwest Associated University.

It was not until a few days later, when he walked into the familiar classroom again and met a teacher who was indeed a fresh face, that Wang Zhengbin and all his classmates realized that the respectable professor and his idol had left and would never come back.

Wang Zhengbin, who never likes to gossip and inquire about others, and other classmates in the class took nearly a week to learn the truth about the professor's departure from Southwest Associated University from the news obtained through various channels.

The professor and Principal He had a conflict, and the conflict between the two has been around for a long time.

Since He Qiang came to power, the school has held meetings all the time. Some people even made up rumors, "There are small meetings every day, and the conferences are 369". Students have students' meetings, teachers have teachers' meetings. What are those meetings? The school affairs disclosure meetings that Principal Chu decided when he was there were no more, and so many messy ones would come.

The professor was the first person to stand up and say no to He Qiang. As the deputy director of the department and the head of the computer laboratory, the professor held a meeting that was held by He Qiang himself. Regarding the meetings held by He Qiang under the banner of school education reform, the professor did not go there again after going there twice. This made Principal He unhappy. He repeatedly criticized the professor at the meeting, saying that the professor had no sense of organization, and that the professor was arrogant and arrogant. In particular, at the meeting, He Qiang called his secretary in public to call the professor to "please" the professor to come to the meeting. As a result, the professor who was busy guiding students in the laboratory at that time did not give He Qiang face at all. He said, "I am doing experiments now, and I have no time", which almost made Principal He unable to come to Taiwan.

Just a week before the professor left, Principal He had a "sudden idea" and the principal's office made a decision to ask all the teachers and professors in the school to do "voluntary labor" in the school on weekends, which is to sweep the floor and pull weeds, and those who come must remember their names, and those who don't come must be punished. A reporter also came to a TV station in the city. This time, the professor did not come, but paid for a migrant worker to "voluntary labor" instead of him. What a coincidence

Unfortunately, just as He Qiang was holding a broom and talking to the camera about whether senior intellectuals should do physical labor appropriately, which helped them produce more scientific research and education results, the migrant worker was shoveling the ground behind him. The migrant worker dressed up in a simple manner and his young face, and his rustic style and local atmosphere all at once attracted the cameraman. The cameraman gave him a four-second close-up...

He Qiang's righteous commentary was matched with the scene of the migrant worker's labor, and everyone who saw the TV news that night laughed.

He Qiang was furious. When he found out that the migrant worker was invited by the professor to work voluntarily on his behalf. He Qiang even asked the professor to write a review for him at the school's union meeting, and asked the professor to carefully review his "ideological problems". But the professor refused to write a review. The two of them quarreled in front of almost all the teachers in the school at the meeting. The professor's reason was very direct. Labor is not divided into high or low, but labor has a value. He does not discriminate against physical labor, but he does not have time to do the same kind of labor. His students, his laboratory, and the topics he studied cannot make him free from his body, "voluntary labor every

Everyone can go, and that person does better than me. But my time is precious. Every minute and every second I have to be responsible for it, I am responsible for my students, and I am responsible for the salary I earned at school. I don’t feel that I am doing anything wrong. Even if I take a step back, the scope of my agreement at Southwest Associated University does not include cleaning the school, and no one can force me to do such a thing." He Qiang was embarrassed by the professor's argument. In the end, when the professor asked He Qiang why he misappropriated the funds for the computer laboratory and other teaching in the school to build a new school office building and buy a high-end car for himself, He Qiang broke out completely...

The professor finally left Southwest Associated University a week later.

In fact, in addition to that professor, Southwest Associated University has been traveling a large number of teachers and professors one after another in the past six months. Some of them went abroad, while others went directly to other universities.

As for Wang Zhengbin, he had two courses this semester that he had stopped for a week because he could not find someone to replace him. Later, the two graduate students who were still studying in school.

In June, several major events happened in Southwest Associated University. The first major event was that the British Times announced the most recent ranking of the top 500 universities in the world. The Times has been in the world for more than 30 years. Because of its scientific, objective and clear evaluation indicators, the Times' university ranking has always been an internationally recognized and authoritative university ranking vane. Before President Chu left, Southwest Associated University ranked 298th in the world. Now, in the latest World University Ranking, Southwest Associated University dropped more than 40 places and became 346th. When someone pasted the results of this ranking with the comparison of last year in all the school's bulletin boards, this incident triggered an earthquake at Southwest Associated University, and almost all the criticism in the school pointed to He Qiang.

The rankings released by the Times undoubtedly gave He Qiang a loud slap in the face recently. At this level, he still wants to run a world-class university? Some people in the school even predict that at least two years, Southwest Associated University will fall out of the top 500 universities in the world. President Chu's lifelong efforts will be put into the hands of people like He Qiang. In less than three years, he will be able to toss all his capital of Southwest Associated University.

He Qiang was extremely angry while being embarrassed. He Qiang found the people who posted the rankings. After finding those people, He Qiang immediately expelled the Southwest Associated University in the name of disrupting the normal teaching order of the school. This is not counting. He Qiang even issued a ban in the school, prohibiting any teacher and student from talking about this matter in public in the school. Once discovered, the school will deal with it seriously. But how can such a thing be withstood by a ban? In private, everyone talks

His enthusiasm for this matter has not diminished at all. In the end, He Qiang made a move that shamed Southwest Associated University for a hundred years. He asked some of the school's dog legs that patted his horse to make a so-called top 300 universities in the world, turning Southwest Associated University into a "famous institution" ranked 167th in the world, "and reversed the embarrassing position of none of the domestic mainland universities in the world to enter the top 200 universities in the world." This change was naturally inseparable from President He's wise leadership.

The whole country was in an uproar, and a Reuters reporter also wrote a report about the matter and sent it back to China. In the report, the reporter said such a classic sentence in a sarcastic tone. "...When I saw that ranking list, I thought I was celebrating April Fool's Day?"

This university ranking list was published in a newspaper in the province under the name of Southwest Associated University. He Qiang also asked someone to buy that newspaper and distribute it everywhere in the school, so that every class could hold meetings to "study", and every student would write an article to talk about his "pleasant feelings" and "pride" of studying in an international "famous university". The school's students will hold a lot of activities such as "I Love United University Poetry Competition", "xxxx Recitation Competition", "xxxx Short Essay Competition", "xxxx Novel Competition" and so on.

Southwest Associated University became a stage with gongs and drums that shook the sky.

At that time, the only retired old professors in the school who were not in line with He Qiang's main melody notes were probably a few retired old professors. The old professors stood at the door of Southwest Associated University under the scorching sun, holding a white cloth supported by a bamboo pole.

A heavy slogan was written on the white cloth -

"The thief has robbed the power, and the UN General Assembly has been famous for a hundred years overnight. We will die with our eyes open, and we will still be ashamed to be a ghost!"

All the students who saw this scene burst into tears...

The actions of the professors did not threaten He Qiang at all, and He Qiang was still sitting steadily as the principal.

The second major event that happened in June was that the biotechnology company of Southwest Associated University was listed. Since the company developed the Panax notoginseng hemostatic spray half a year ago, its products have been in short supply in the market. Then the company developed several products, and the sales were very good. As soon as the company went public, it immediately enclosed nearly 700 million yuan from the stock market. This was the first school-affiliated company listed in China, and it also had extraordinary significance. For a school, 7000 million yuan is not a small amount. As soon as the company was listed, Principal He immediately appeared on TV with a high level of hard work and the helmsman, talking about how he led the company to start a difficult business in the past, how to respond to the country's call to push education to the market with practical actions... People who don't know the situation were really frightened by him, and those who know the situation sighed deeply when they thought of Chu Zhendong.

Taking advantage of the positive sensational effect caused by the listing of UNODC, He Qiang successfully suppressed the voices of opposing him in the school because of the "ranking incident". Even in some social tabloids outside the school, some stingy articles praising him occasionally appeared. He Qiang believed that everything would pass...

Yes, everything will pass. In order to prevent the students in the school from nagging about their own affairs in the school, the final exam for this semester was a week earlier than the original schedule. With the end of the exam, each student received a notice that the tuition fee would increase in the next semester.

Wang Zhengbin and Ge Ming have no plans to go home this holiday. In order to pay for the next semester, with their excellent computer skills, Wang Zhengbin found a temporary part-time job in Yilong Computer City, while Ge Ming is preparing to work as a tutor.

Before the holiday ended, Ge Ming and Gu Tianyang fought, and outsiders had no idea why. However, since that day, Ge Ming and Wang Zhengbin never paid attention to Gu Tianyang again.

As for Long Liexue, a few days after the quiet days, an undercurrent has quietly hit him. The company that Long Liexue started, and Yilong Real Estate, whose career is booming, has been "sniped" by someone...
