Chapter 80: Doing something and not doing something
In terms of social experience, Gu Kun can be regarded as an old man.
After playing cards for a while, he saw that the two smokers were slow to come in, and guessed that they didn't want to see him.
He took advantage of another loss and stopped at the right time:
"I've lost again, it's almost time for dinner, or I'll stop it, and I'll invite you in the evening." Room manager, it's my level that is not good, and I lost with you. ”
"Okay, then let's change our clothes and go to the restaurant. Huang Han also threw the card, then pushed open the balcony door, buckled his shoulders and pulled Xu Jianjun and Liu Yu together.
After all, everyone hadn't clashed face-to-face, but just complained behind their backs, so the two were still pulled away by Huang Han.
Zhou Yaoguang, who was easier to talk to Gu Kun, also saw some clues, so he suggested: "Lao Huang, you change your clothes first, or I will take Xiao Gu to order food first, and I'll see you at the old place then." ”
"It's okay to eat the 'old place' again. Huang Han agreed on behalf of everyone.
It turned out that there was a restaurant in the northeast corner of the campus of Jiaotong University, and the name of the restaurant was "Old Place". I have to say that this name is flattering, and many new students just come every year, and they are not familiar with the place, and they are all routined by this store.
Fortunately, the dishes were also done well, and the teachers and students of the Academy formed a habit.
The road is not far, Zhou Yaoguang is also walking, he doesn't plan to ride, and Gu Kun just happens to save driving.
The two of them walked a few steps, and Gu Kun asked casually, "You guys here, the relationship between classmates is good." ”
Zhou Yaoguang's footsteps slowed down slightly: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, you didn't offend Liu Yu and them, they are like that, and they don't have any malicious intentions, maybe they just think that you are too easy to enter Jiaotong University, and your heart is unbalanced all of a sudden."
I'm from Hujiang City, and I understand their imbalance, and I don't think you will mind, after all, we are indeed the ones who take advantage. ”
"Of course I don't mind, I'm a vested interest. Gu Kun admitted bluntly.
This is the first time I have heard the term "vested interests?" Zhou Yaoguang touched it carefully, and felt that although this Gu student's science grades were not good, his humanistic qualities were good, and he was full of incisive words as soon as he spoke.
In China in 1994, the term "vested interests" was never mentioned.
At best, everyone only said "the one who gets rich first".
Zhou Yaoguang sighed for a few seconds, and then told Gu Kun an interesting story about the campus: "When I talk about their high school grades of those who have good grades, I remember that we just entered the school last year, in November, the first high school midterm exam, I scored 56 points, and there are a few failures in the class, all of them are locals, if it weren't for the capital."
In the class where the results were released, the old man Cao, who taught high mathematics, sighed there: Students, this is the first time you have taken the mathematics test in the university! Our paper-producing group has already taken care of the students from the underdeveloped areas of basic education such as Beijing and Hujiang, and the difficulty has been reduced.
It was from then on that Liu Yu and a few of them looked down on us locals a little. Don't say it in person, behind my back and in private, I don't know how many times I've mentioned Old Man Cao's famous saying-
By the way, when you first came, I met the girl who sent you in the corridor, and I heard that you international students can even choose less public classes, but you didn't take high school and fog, how can you keep up with the sophomore major classes?"
"I have my own way to do this, and I'll know when the time comes. Gu Kun didn't want to explain more.
The two quickly walked to the hotel, and Gu Kun asked for the menu.
I ordered white chopped chicken, moldy vegetable button meat, dried vegetable duck, shrimp fried eel back, steamed river eel, Yangzhou lion head...... Anyway, I counted the number of people and ordered enough hard dishes, and then I served a few vegetarian dishes, and the wine only needed a little beer.
Jiaotong students are still mostly southerners, and drinking is just drinking.
A few minutes later, cold dishes such as white chopped chicken came up first, and Huang Han also arrived with several other roommates.
Eating people with a short mouth, those classmates who looked at Gu Kun with envy and jealousy at the beginning, seeing that Gu Kun at least did not have the arrogance of being rich and rich, and he was not arrogant when he invited guests, he gradually calmed down some of his inner emotions.
Gu Kun knew that Liu Yu was the most unwilling in his heart, and he didn't expect to change the other party's opinion, or win over the other party.
He just needs most of his classmates to understand him as a person.
Anyway, there are countless talents in Jiaohai Academy, and whoever wants to follow him in the future will follow, and if you don't want to do it with him, he is not inferior to those few.
The most important thing in China is people.
Therefore, at the dinner table, Gu Kun just said something to everyone to enhance understanding and ease everyone's jealousy.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Kun found a breakthrough. He took a wine glass and toasted with Zhou Yaoguang, who was the best talker and the most well-informed, and then pretended to inquire:
"Lao Zhou, I don't know much about activities such as inter-school competitions in your Huaxia University. Just like our school, what is the purpose of the general recruitment of special students? Do you want to participate in inter-university competitions like Oceania?"
Zhou Yaoguang thought for a while: "There are a lot of inter-university competitions, the year before last, Fudan won the championship of the international college debate tournament in Lijiapo, and the shame of losing to Wanwan people before Yixue, it was all broadcast live on CCTV.
Those liberal arts departments, the most important thing is these competitions. But if you want to recruit special students for the competition...... Generally, there are only sports, and that is for the Universiade. What's the matter? Are you a special student?"
"That's supposed to be it, I'm ashamed to say that my level of cultural classes was originally estimated to be not qualified to apply for a place to study at Jiaotong University, I took a sports test at that time, and I got in by swimming faster than your school team. We also have self-knowledge, and we will ask you to help a lot in the cultural class in the future. ”
"This guy actually swims faster than the school team? It's not like a lie, after all, this thing can be found out just by asking...... That's a skill, and it's not bought entirely by money and nationality preferences. Those classmates who were jealous of Gu Kun before were secretly worried in their hearts, and the jealousy was slightly extinguished.
Zhou Yaoguang was silent for a few seconds, as if he was recalling some information, and then kindly reminded: "If you are a special student, then the task of training and preparing for the follow-up school team is estimated to be more heavy." Although the domestic Universiade will not be held until the year after tomorrow, there will be the 18th World Universiade in Fukuoka next summer, which will be held every two years.
The top universities in our eastern provinces have relatively strong swimming teams, and it is said that they will participate in the trials before the winter vacation this year. The coach of the varsity swimming team seems to be surnamed Chen, right? The swimming of our Haiyuan Academy is the strongest in Jiaotong University, and there have been seniors who have been trained by him in several previous sessions, so we are familiar with Coach Chen. ”
This information was the first time Gu Kun had heard of it, and he had only used the specialty exam as a stepping stone to improve his degree of admission, and he really didn't understand what obligations he had in the future.
"And those qualifiers I'll have to play in then?"
Zhou Yaoguang: "That's necessary, otherwise why did the school recruit you in? But you don't have to be pressured." Generally, new students are not required to produce grades. You practice for a few years, and when you reach the National Universiade the year after next, you are a junior and can produce results, and Coach Chen and the leaders of the sports department will be very happy. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your advice. ”
Including Gu Kun, the seven of them drank a case of beer, ate all the hard dishes, and went back to the bedroom. On the first day, Gu Kun decided to follow the local customs, so he lived in the dormitory, and learned more about the situation by the way. After a few days, I will go back to the apartment in Jing'an Square.
……
In the next few days, Gu Kun temporarily integrated into the unfamiliar university life.
I took a few professional courses and studied them seriously with my sophomore classmates.
He came to study sincerely, and there was no time for him to waste. Every day after class, he has to call and fax to deal with some daily business troubles.
Then I went to the Design Institute of Jiaotong University/COSCO East China, continued to follow up on the details of the investment negotiations, and by the way, learned about the progress of the payment received from the relevant departments.
Life has been very fulfilling.
In school, he neither actively flaunted his wealth, nor deliberately pretended to be poor. In short, when I was on campus, I never drove a Lincoln, but bought a bicycle and drove it after school for personal business. For dinner, it is the priority to spend a meal ticket to go to the cafeteria, and then go to the restaurant outside after the meal.
Gradually, everyone got used to such a foreign classmate who should have a little money, but he was not ostentatious.
Haiyuan is an engineering college, so there are not many girls, and most of them are not beautiful.
In this way, those girls are also quite popular, and there are countless licking dogs around them, of course Gu Kun will not join in the fun.
Among them, there are one or two girls who seem to be more curious about foreign compatriots, and they will pester Gu Kun to ask some exotic stories after class.
Gu Kun is also polite and courteous, only answering questions, and never flirting with sisters.
Gu Kun is still very measured about this.
He knows that he wants to be a cultural tourism tycoon and a local tyrant in his life, so he is counting on making money in the Chinese tourism industry in the future.
Therefore, he doesn't want to be left behind by the notoriety of using his status as an international student to play with Chinese women. He knew that this notoriety was absolutely fatal to the national attention of the Chinese people.
Look at the Internet in later generations, how much hostility will be aroused among Chinese male consumers if a foreigner sleeps with a Chinese woman, can this matter be touched? What should I do if it is boycotted?
Anyway, if he just wants to solve the physiological problem now, he already has a Lin Ying, so he must not provoke it again. The reason why Lin Ying can play easily is because people are foreigners, and Gu Kun has never planned to make money from locals in his life, and it is indeed Lin Ying who has figured it out and is willing to post it upside down, so it doesn't matter.
No matter what era, a civilized person will feel that it is a matter of glory for the country for a man to play with a woman of different races, otherwise it is easy to be sprayed, so he has to be cautious.
The first two weeks of campus life passed quickly, and with the arrival of the 11th National Day, Gu Kun finally found that his professional classes were a little bit unable to keep up.
He decided to spend a little extra money and find a teacher to make up the lessons.
