Because the follow-up International University Debate is very important, the previous National College Student Debate Tournament is also called the "Continental Debate Trial" by domestic college students. The word "mainland" is used because the universities participating in the Elite Debate include those in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The National Collegiate Debate Tournament is said to be nationwide, but in fact it is not true that all universities in the country send people to participate, because all the expenses for participating in this debate tournament are at their own expense. In other words, if the school sends a debate team to participate in the competition, it must provide travel and room and board expenses. If you can get a certain score in the debate tournament in the end, it will be a bit of a waste of money.

At least, this is true for universities that are always "short of money".

Also, it doesn't mean that you are willing to pay for it to participate in this debate. University debate teams that want to participate in the debate competition will go through the elimination process of online debate before they can participate in the on-site debate after coming to Shencheng.

In other words, the debate team must first go to the Shanghai debate site to register on the spot, and then go online in the hotel to participate in the online debate elimination round of the Huaguo Debate Network, and win the knockout round before participating in the live finals.

These relatively harsh conditions limit participation by many universities, especially those that do not have excellent debaters. In fact, in recent years, the only universities that have been able to win from the National College Student Debate Tournament and participate in the International Elite Debate -- Fudan, Yan University, Jiangxi University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, Sun Yat-sen University, Yan Normal University, Renmin University and other top universities or famous universities.

In the early years, there were some second, third, and even junior colleges and universities that sent people to participate, but now, many schools have "self-knowledge" and are reluctant to participate in such high-level competitions, but only hold their own school's debate tournaments in their own schools to entertain themselves. It has become a rarity for three people like Taoyuan University to participate in the national debate tournament.

The on-site venue of the National Debate Tournament was chosen to be in Fudan, and the on-site registration location for the online debate was also in Fudan. The organizing committee set up the registration location in an ordinary office building in Fudan, at least to Liu Meng, Gan Shuangshuang and others. Compared with the buildings of Taoyuan University, this Western-style building is extremely ordinary.

After asking for directions and finding the office where he registered, Liu Meng knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A woman's voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, Liu Meng walked into the office with Gan Shuangshuang and the other four.

The furnishings in the office are very simple, just a set of ordinary office items, and sitting in the office or behind is a woman who looks like she is in her twenties and thirties, and she looks better.

"You came up and signed up for the debate tournament, right? Here is an entry form for students to fill out. The woman glanced at a few people, although Liu Meng and Gan Shuangshuang and the others behind him looked at the age difference. But she still saw at a glance that Liu Meng was the team leader, so she took out a form and handed it to Liu Meng.

Liu Meng looked at the form and found that there was nothing wrong with him on it, so he motioned for the four students to come forward and fill out the form in turn.

As several people filled out the form, the woman said, "After filling out the form, I will enter your school's information into the computer and get a login account and password." After that, you can take your account number and password and participate in the online debate that will be held at 2 p.m. today. If there is anything you don't understand, you can log on to the Huaguo Debate Network to check the relevant instructions. ”

The woman kept staring at the computer as she said this. Didn't look at a few people. In her opinion, all the universities who came to participate in the competition should know the rules, and she said that those are just routine work.

"Fill it out." Dong Xiaoxian, who was the last to fill out the form, handed the form to the woman.

The woman took the form. began to input relevant information into the computer on the table, but when his eyes fell on the school information column, he couldn't help but shout: "Taoyuan University? ”

Liu Meng and several people could hear it, and the woman's tone was not surprised. It's confusion, as if to say: How do I see these words?

When she came back to her senses, the woman couldn't help but read to the information: "Taoyuan University." A private undergraduate university, located in Taoyuan Village, Fengcheng County, Yiyang City, Hu Province. Huh, you guys? ”

The woman stopped typing and raised her head to look at Liu Meng and the others.

Liu Meng couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw this scene-now Taoyuan University is not famous all over the country, but it should have nothing to do with being nameless, right? How do you think this person seems to have never heard the name of Taoyuan University?

Liu Meng's guess was right.

Although Taoyuan University has frequently appeared on the Internet and the media in the past two years, it is not as prestigious as those famous universities after all, and there are so many people who don't know about this school. And this woman is one of those people.

Liu Meng reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Our school is a regular school, doesn't there a school number on it, you can enter the network for verification." ”

Hearing Liu Meng say this, the woman immediately said: "I'm not questioning the legitimacy of your school, it's just that the people who have participated in the national debate tournament over the years are basically famous universities, so I can't help but be surprised when I see your school participating." I'm sorry, I was rude just now. ”

After speaking, the woman immediately began to enter the school information on the form.

Although the woman said politely, even college students like Yu Xiaoxin, Bai Xiaofu, and Dong Xiaoxian, who have never experienced society, can hear another meaning in the woman's words - how dare you come to participate in such a high-level competition?

Even though they knew that Taoyuan was a fact that it could not be compared with a famous university as a three-school school, several students still couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts.

Liu Meng was silent on the side, because in his opinion, having this encounter before the game could just stimulate the anger of several students, so that several people could participate in the game more dedicatedly.

After getting the login account and password of the Huaguo Debate Network, several people took a car to the hotel they had booked.

In the car, Bai Xiaofu couldn't help but complain: "It's so annoying, that woman just now didn't know about our Taoyuan University, isn't she optimistic about the voice?" ”

Yu Xiaoxin continued: "Even if she is not optimistic about the voice, it is impossible that she hasn't seen the news about our Taoyuan University so many times, right?" ”

Obviously, Yu Xiaoxin was equally angry.

Seeing this, Dong Xiaoxian immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Xiaoxin, don't be angry, when we stand out in the competition, that woman should be stunned." By that time, I'm afraid she will never forget our school for the rest of her life. ”

Yu Xiaoxin glanced at Dong Xiaoxian and threatened: "Dong Xiaoxian, remember what you said." If you dare to drop the chain in this debate competition, I will definitely settle accounts with you later. ”

Hearing the conversation of several people, Liu Meng couldn't help but smile.

Then he couldn't help but look at Gan Shuangshuang, wondering what Gan Shuangshuang's reaction was, but found that Gan Shuangshuang also showed the same smile.
