Chapter 104 Opening Ceremony

Zhang Wei was feeling regretful when Grandma Mia suddenly appeared before her and said with the same smile and gentle tone:

"Vera Wilson, welcome to the Excellence Building."

Zhang Wei could feel the surprised gazes of the other three girls looking at her, and could also hear the incredible gasps coming from the dormitory behind her. At that moment, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she stretched out her right hand and said:

“It’s my pleasure!”

Grandma Mia quickly reached out her hand to respond, and after shaking her hand, she said to them:

"Come on, Exalteds, let's go check out your dormitories."

For Zhang Wei, today was like buying a blind box whose shape could be felt from the outside. He originally thought it was just a common product, but it turned out to be a rare and out-of-print item.

At this time, Tracy seemed to let go of some of her reserve and said to Zhang Wei:

"New roommate, do you mind continuing to provide some help to your companions?"

Zhang Wei also showed her pride for once: "Alright! Do it for my happiness."

Then Zhang Wei continued to help her push the box to the downstairs of the Excellence Building in the same way as before.

"Vera lives on the second floor, 206. Tracy, you live on the third floor, 301."

After Grandma Mia gave them the key, they went into a room on the first floor, and then they had to do the rest on their own.

Looking at the three big boxes, Zhang Wei felt like crying. There was no elevator, so he had to carry them up there physically.

Looking at Tracy's thin arms, well, it seems that this lackey is doomed to be his today, just for the sake of her happiness.

"Let me open the boxes and move them slowly. You can move yours first."

Tracy saw that Zhang Wei wanted to help, so she said that she would do whatever she could on her own.

"Okay." Zhang Wei didn't force it. After all, her own things were not light, and fortunately they only needed to be moved to the second floor.

She struggled to move a few steps and took a break, and soon reached the second floor.

Her room was at the very back, her favorite spot. Although there were carpets everywhere, it was inevitably noisy because it was near the stairs.

Only after entering did she carefully look at every facility inside. If nothing unexpected happened, she would probably live there for five years.

It can be seen that except for the original walls and floors, everything else inside is new. Yes, this building should not have been a dormitory before, after all, this is the first batch of female students admitted.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see her bed, which is about 1.2 meters long. The bedding has a dark blue base with intricate golden brown prints, which matches the dark brown tassel curtains very well, giving it a classical beauty.

She opened the curtains and the door, and could feel a slight breeze.

Then I started packing because there was an opening ceremony at 10 o'clock.

The wardrobe feels like the right size at the moment, with plenty of space to hang all the clothes. There is a shoe rack at the door. Although the bathroom is not big, it has separate wet and dry areas with the toilet, and there is a hook for hanging coats behind the door.

Everything seemed fine, except for one annoying problem: there was no place to hang the clothes...

Grandma Mia said that there were washing machines and dryers, but it felt a bit unhygienic to have so many people sharing them, even though they were all girls. She even went to the Chinese Super League to buy clothes hangers.

So she was considering whether to pull another line inside the curtains to dry some underwear or something. It was not practical to hang them out to dry. Few people here dry clothes, they all use dryers.

There was still plenty of time. When she had almost finished cleaning up, she heard footsteps in the corridor, so she immediately closed the door.

To be honest, she sometimes suffers from social anxiety, and then she sat at the desk and stared out the window in a daze.

In fact, she still hasn't figured out why she ended up living in the Excellence Building. After all, she did have several questions left to finish. Would she be asked to move out later?

Everything was done, but Zhang Wei still felt a little unreal looking out the unfamiliar window.

Outside the window was the back of the Excellence Building. Unfortunately, her room faced north, so there was no sunlight. Fortunately, it was relatively quiet because behind it was also the back of some unknown building.

Zhang Wei didn't stay in a daze for long before she heard a knock on the door. Just when she was wondering which of her roommates was the best, she saw Grandma Mia. It turned out that she came to inform Zhang Wei that it was time to go to the auditorium for the opening ceremony.

It was only then that Zhang Wei realized that Grandma Mia’s job was not just to manage the dormitory, but also to be their life manager.

Zhang Wei said that after receiving it, Grandma Mia started knocking on the door opposite again. Zhang Wei locked the door and left before anyone came out to avoid the embarrassment of not saying hello.

There are already some girls who have started to travel together on the road. Girls’ friendship always develops quickly.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that someone was looking at her from time to time on the street. In order to avoid this discomfort, she walked quickly towards the auditorium.

The auditorium is not very big, but it is more than enough to seat three hundred people.

There were already a few people sitting sparsely inside, and each seat had a name on it, arranged in alphabetical order of the surnames, so Zhang Wei went straight to the last few rows and found her name in the second to last row.

Five minutes before ten o'clock, the curtain at the front of the auditorium opened, and the principal, the kind old man who had sat in the middle during the interview, began to speak:

"Girls, welcome to Devon."

He didn't use a microphone, but his voice was very loud, and there was no host assistant with him.

Such a calm sentence immediately caused cheers from the audience.

He then continued in the same tone, saying something that shocked all the girls:

"No matter who you are or where you are from, here in Devon, you will have the same rights as all the boys."

Suddenly the girls' cheers almost overturned the auditorium.

"However, although we allow everyone to be yourself, since you want to enjoy this right, of course we will also hold you to the same standards as boys."

"So, I don't want to hear people say: No, this is what boys do, no, I'm a girl, you shouldn't ask me to do this, because there are no obligations without rights, and no rights without obligations in this world!"

At this time, a girl's voice sounded in the venue:

"We're no worse than the boys!"

She immediately attracted everyone's attention with her unique accent and loud voice.

Zhang Wei took a look and saw that it was her, the Indian girl.

"Well said!" Zhang Wei immediately agreed.

Then voices of agreement were heard one after another, and the principal nodded with satisfaction.

After this mobilization, the principal signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then began:

"Next, it's the most important event of Devon College's opening ceremony: announcing this year's King's Scholarship winners and awarding them with medals and cloaks of excellence!"

Zhang Wei's heart started beating fast when she heard this. She must be one of them, right? She couldn't be mistaken, could she?
