Chapter Seventy-Four: 'University Street' Experience
Daehakro, located in the southwestern suburbs of Seoul, was still a desolate wilderness more than 100 years ago, but because it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city at that time, and the land price was particularly cheap, it was favored by the early scholars of the 'Korean Dynasty' in the early days of the eastward expansion of modern industry and natural sciences in the West, and established the first Western-style college on the peninsula to replace the old-style seowon education system of the East.
It has evolved to become one of the most well-known places of learning in the whole of East Asia.
The name "Mingzhi University", which is taken from the sentence of Zhu Zi's family motto "Keeping points and living and knowing things", is evolved from the "Mingzhi University" in the first few colleges established here, and has been established for more than 100 years.
The history of its establishment is one or two decades earlier than that of Seoul University and Jungzhì University, which are the top universities in the Korean and Korean Peninsulas, and its qualifications are profound, so although it has declined for various reasons, it has always been able to claim to be a first-class prestigious university, and graduates can still maintain an inexplicable sense of superiority when they encounter opponents from ordinary public and private universities when they are looking for jobs.
On September 7, the new students of private universities have begun to enroll, and all students of all grades of public universities except for freshmen have already arrived on campus, and University Street, which has been silent for two months, has finally regained its vitality and has become a sea of young people.
After getting out of the bus and looking around a few times blankly, Zhang Muzi opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said to An Tae-hee, who was following him: "It's too exaggerated to squeeze in, isn't it said on the Internet that Seoul University Street is on the outskirts of Seoul, how many universities are there, how can there be so many people?"
"You dare to fill in the university application without reading all the information on the Internet, and you really have the ability," Ahn Tae-hee said with his hand covering the sun in the early autumn afternoon: "There are 19 public universities, 41 private universities, and nearly 100 independent colleges in the entire 'University Street', with a total of about 1.5 million students.
According to statistics, nearly half of the high-achieving college students in the entire Korean Peninsula are studying here, and in addition to local students, there are thousands of 'Yuantai' students like you, students from inland China, and foreign students. ”
"One and a half million students, wow, that's close to two-thirds of the population of the entire city of Yuanbei. Hearing this, Zhang Muzi said dumbfounded.
"Is it good that there are more than 100 million people on the Korean Peninsula, of course the scale is relatively large," In the crowded crowd, Ahn Tae-hee's fair face was already oozing beads of sweat, "Okay, the sun is too big on the street, which communication company did you run your mobile phone, let's hurry up and replace the card, and blow the air conditioner by the way." ”
"My mobile phone card belongs to Chunghwa Telecom, and I just saw it on the bus, and there is a business office over there. Zhang Muzi nodded, pointed to a store not far away with the advertising slogan "Zhonghua Communication, Inevitable Choice" and said, Maibu and An Taixi blended into the flow of people.
No one will change a new mobile phone number every time school starts, so the crowd on the street has little to do with the business volume of the communication company.
The other one was given to Ahn Tae-hee, who looked at him with envy to try out his new mobile phone, as a thank you gift, but unlike the process of replacing the card in the communication company, when he walked into the business office of his bank, he was immediately startled by the dense crowd in front of him.
After being stunned for three or four seconds, Zhang Muzi blurted out with a wry smile: "What's wrong today, did all the college students in Seoul lose their credit cards!"
"At the beginning of the new school year, most students have some money on hand, and when they get together again, they want to spend money, and the banks are the busiest at this time of year. Ahn Tae-hee, who was on the side, said with common sense for Zhang Muzi.
Zhang Muzi nodded suddenly, looked around for a while, frowned and asked, "Taixi, have you been to this business office, where is the VIP room, why haven't I found it?"
"This is not a bank branch office on the commercial street, how can there be a VIP room," Hearing this, An Taixi rolled his eyes, took a 'brand paper' from the number machine on the side and handed it to Zhang Muzi and said: "Or you just take this small note and wait for the number to be called;
Or you can contact the general manager's office of Huixin Bank in Seoul directly and ask him to set up a VIP room for you. ”
Pretty girls are all eye-catching there, especially for young people with exuberant pheromones, Ahn Tae-hee has already attracted the attention of many college students as soon as she enters the bank, and when she complains, there are low laughter around her.
However, Zhang Muzi, who was standing in front of Ahn Tae-hee, nodded seriously after taking the note, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and actually took out the phone and called.
Ahn Tae-hee and the college students around him naturally thought that he was laughing at himself, and when Zhang Muzi hurriedly finished making the call, Ahn Tae-hee looked at his expressionless face, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "I'm just joking, I'm not angry, right?"
"Angry, why be angry. Zhang Muzi was stunned for a moment, and said a little confused, seeing him like this, An Taixi said with some annoyance: "You are a man, a man, a manly husband, don't be so stingy..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly saw a middle-aged man with an obese body and a suit and leather shoes rushing down from the office area on the second floor of the bank business office, and after looking left and right and finding nothing, he hurriedly cleared his throat and shouted with an unusually polite attitude: "May I ask which one is Mr. Zhang Muzi?"
"I am. Zhang Muzi beckoned and replied.
"Zhang Xian, I am Li Minxuan, deputy director of the Myeongchangdong Business Department of the Seoul Branch of Huixin Bank, and I am honored to serve you," the middle-aged man immediately trotted in front of Zhang Muzi in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand with his left hand holding his right arm and elbow according to the etiquette of Han and North Korea: "Please hand over the documents to me, please move to the conference room to rest, the tea is ready." ”
"Saved, thank you, Minister Li. Zhang Muzi also held his elbow gratefully and shook Li Minxuan's hand, and after handing over his documents, An Tae-hee, who was a little dazed, walked up to the second floor of the bank's business office under the stunned gaze of the surrounding college students.
There are only about 20 employees in a private bank, and the conference room is naturally not too big, but the decoration is quite elegant, coupled with the windy air conditioning and the tea and snacks that are temporarily prepared, but also decent, compared with the crowded 'penalty station' in the hall, it is simply a world of difference.
Walking into the conference room and sitting on the sofa chair, An Taixi gradually came back to his senses, and saw Zhang Muzi beside him unceremoniously drinking tea and eating dessert, looking extremely comfortable, as if he didn't know him, he looked up and down carefully and said: "Muzi, thank you for letting me finally know what kind of person the idiom 'gentleman' describes;
And why are people who are described like this so hated?
You've just sunburned darker than a briquette in Africa, and it's been two days since you returned to Seoul, and you can't even stand standing in line at the bank, so you have to play this privilege, isn't that satisfying?"
"Satisfaction, what satisfaction..."Zhang Muzi chewed his snack and said puzzledly: "It's because I have suffered so much in Africa, so I have to enjoy it when I return to the 'civilized world'."
Besides, I'm a boy, so it's not a big deal to sweat a little, but you're a girl, because I'm too worried about 'punishing the station'..."
"Oh, so you're playing privilege because of me?" Ahn Tae-hee interrupted Zhang Muzi's words angrily when he heard this.
Zhang Muzi pouted and said: "This is not a 'privilege', my account amount is high, of course I can ask for different high-quality services from ordinary customers, isn't this the basic principle of modern business society." ”
Seeing that he spoke as a matter of course, An Taixi opened his mouth and said angrily: "Zhang Muzi, what kind of person are you, it makes people want to stomp their feet in anger, but they can't get angry." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Li Minxuan walked in with a few documents, handed them to Zhang Muzi with both hands and said, "Zhang Xian, please sign your name in the lower right corner, and you can take the card away." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Muzi took the civilization and browsed it hastily, took the pen and signed them one by one, and soon got the new credit card that was reissued, and looked at the time after walking out of the business office with Ahn Tae-hee, and found that it only took ten minutes in total.
On the way, Ahn Tae-hee, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said in a very serious tone: "Muzi, if you still have such a freewheeling personality after entering college, you will definitely be unlucky."
The university life of the 'Korean Dynasty' is not so simple, the 'senior system' is very strict, you are a first-year, you are at the bottom of all the students in the whole university, and if you help out in the face of things, it is likely that not only will no one appreciate it, but you will be 'ding' very miserable.
If you are admitted to 'Han University', I can still protect you, now, it is better to live an honest life after the start of school, and when you are with your classmates, most first-year students eat whatever you eat;
You drink whatever most first-graders drink;
Most first-graders do whatever they do, and more importantly, remember that when you have the opportunity to go out with your seniors and sisters, whether it is drinking or singing K, you can say whatever you want to eat;
If you want to sing, you will say that your voice is hoarse, and I can cheer everyone on;
When you pay the bill, you play fool and bow directly with the others and say, 'Thank you, senior', you know?"
Hearing these words, Zhang Muzi was slightly stunned, and pouted indifferently: "An Taixi, aren't you just in your second year of college, as for saying that freshmen are so humble, now it's not a slave society." But in the next few days, reality made him quickly understand Ahn Tae-hee's advice, which was completely a wise saying.
