Seeing how shameless these old scoundrels were, Tang Yuying disdained to associate with them and waved her hand to interrupt their conversation.
"Shut up, all of you! Stop arguing. Wang Zheng is on stage. Let's see how this kid plans to take the first step in this transformation. Over 900 natural awakenings! It's truly enviable!"
Speaking of this year's enrollment situation, Tang Yuying was truly envious. Not only did she not get a single spot at Southeast University, but the number of applicants was also 20% less than usual.
The culprit was that arrogant brat on the opposite platform...
When Principal Wang made his first appearance in front of so many students, he was completely devoid of his usual playful and smiling demeanor.
His stern face really gave him the air of a leader. Even though he wasn't radiating any divine power at the moment, his serious and resolute demeanor still carried a unique sense of pressure, gradually quieting down the noisy crowd below the stage.
Once everyone had stopped whispering and the noisy training ground had returned to silence, Wang Zheng finally spoke slowly.
"Looks like you're doing alright. You do have some discipline, but remember this: this is a one-time thing, and there will be no next time!"
After speaking, Wang Zheng turned his head and glanced at Mei Yiqi again.
Mei Yiqi wasn't nervous at all in front of so many people for the first time, and responded loudly:
"The number of freshmen for the Class of 2027 is 2234, and the number of attendees is 2234. There are no absentees. Please give instructions, President!"
As his loud voice rang out, Chu Xiaoman, who was not far away, found his sycophantic behavior utterly contemptible.
This little girl heard that the student council was going to make an appearance in front of the new students today, so she quickly finished all the preparations, just to join in the fun.
He hadn't left the biology lab for a week straight; he ate, drank, relieved himself, cultivated, and slept there. He was itching to get some fresh air.
She even sulked for a while because Wang Zheng hadn't informed the vice minister of the self-governing association about such an important matter.
Seeing that Mei Yiqi had betrayed the organization, he muttered to himself.
"Just a moment ago, he was saying with me that Wang Zheng was putting on airs and deliberately being late to give the freshmen a hard time. Now that he's here, he's immediately rushing to flatter him. Ugh, how shameful..."
Although he spoke softly, Wang Zheng, being who he was, heard him clearly.
Mei Yiqi, standing in front of him, saw Wang Zheng narrow his eyes and looked away guiltily, not daring to meet Wang Zheng's gaze. He was almost whistling to cover up his embarrassment.
Wang Zheng now represents the image of Nanjing University, so naturally he won't bother arguing with these two clowns.
After pretending not to hear, he silently scanned the audience and then nodded in satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because Wang Zheng, a nationally certified 17-year-old grandmaster, was too intimidating, or perhaps it was because most of the freshmen were filled with admiration for this senior, that no troublemakers could be found among the huge crowd below the stage.
As soon as Wang Zheng's gaze swept over them, they all stood ramrod straight.
Putting everything else aside, their mental state alone is top-notch.
But this was no challenge for Principal Wang, who was naturally well-prepared for such a situation.
"Ahem... Let me say a few words."
Wang Zheng coughed twice, using a few classic words to draw everyone's attention.
Looking at the young faces below the stage, Young Master Wang smiled very kindly.
"Hello everyone, first of all, on behalf of all the faculty and staff of Jingnan University, I would like to welcome you to our university."
I hope that during this most important period of your lives, you will achieve academic success, make rapid progress in your personal development, and contribute your share to the great rejuvenation of China in the future.
I will truly be proud of Nanjing University today, and Nanjing University will be proud of me tomorrow!
Our Jingnan University is currently undergoing reforms and is determined to become a benchmark for all Awakened Colleges, cultivating well-rounded talents.
Therefore, for students who are willing to cultivate diligently, we will never be stingy with various resources and cultivation environments!
I believe that since entering Nanjing University, many students have already felt the rich and vibrant atmosphere of the campus. However, I want to tell you that this is just the beginning; many more benefits and perks await you in the future!
After Wang Zheng paused after speaking, Mei Yiqi led the applause, followed by thunderous applause from the audience, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.
After everyone had vented their excitement, Young Master Wang raised his hand and gestured to calm everyone down again.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce myself."
Although I am somewhat famous, I still need to introduce myself to everyone in case there are still students who don't know me.
My name is Wang Zheng. I am currently a sophomore at Nanjing University. I am also the president of the Nanjing University Student Union, the president of the Student Self-Government Association, and the vice president of the Nanjing University Campus Board of Directors.
Why emphasize so many positions? Actually, I want to tell you a fact: at Nanjing University, when you can't see the president, all decisions are made by me!
Every special test you participate in was organized by me, and every reward you receive comes from me.
It's because I'm better than you guys!
On this day last year, I was just like you, standing below the stage, listening to the principal's speech, and envying the senior students.
The reason I'm standing here on behalf of the school today is simply to remind you and tell you a very real truth.
Nanjing University is not a breeding ground for you to slack off. Here, merit is paramount, merit is paramount, and damn merit is paramount!
All you freshmen need to do is one thing: strive to raise your spiritual energy ceiling and constantly hone your talents and abilities.
As long as you keep making progress, perhaps the next one standing here will be you!
Now, on behalf of NTU, I will establish a new rule for all students, including senior students who remain on campus.
Effective immediately, all benefits and perks of the Nanjing University Rankings will be cancelled, and the same few individuals will no longer be the ones receiving university funding.
Nanjing University changed its ranking system to include various tests and practical training at the end of each month, with rankings for each grade calculated separately and benefits distributed separately.
At this point, some people might say, "My family is well-off, and I don't need the benefits the school provides."
I'm sorry, but apart from the rewards, all grades will be subject to a bottom-ranking elimination system.
In other words, if you rank last for two consecutive months, the new student will be expelled, and the senior students will have their graduation certificates delayed. I have already distributed the specific rules to each counselor. If you have any questions, you can ask them after the meeting..."
