"Brother Wang, let's drink together tonight!"
Yan Ci, with a messy head, came to the enrollment point to find Wang Xuecheng.
He ran all the way here, panting.
Wang Xuecheng stared at his messy hair and asked, "Brother Yan, how long have you not washed?"
"What's the matter?" Yan Ci looked down at his outfit and said, "No problem!"
Wang Xuecheng pointed at the top of his head and asked, "How many days have you not combed your hair?"
Yan Ci reached out to touch his head, only to find a handful of hair oil on his hands.
He chuckled, "I've had an idea recently, but I've been busy and haven't been able to take care of it."
"Brother Yan should accept Boss Huang's advice and find a servant to serve him and take care of his life."
"I find the servants too talkative and impatient with their waiting. Apart from me, Boss Wang Xiaoxi is back and is inviting us to dinner at Tonghuilou tonight. You must come."
"Boss Wang is really back?" Wang Xuecheng looked very surprised, and it was not fake at all.
When Wang Xiaoxi left Beijing, he said he would be back in a year.
A year passed, and there was no sighting of him, and no news.
One year, one month...
One year and two months...
One year and three months...
Everyone was almost in despair, thinking that Wang Xiaoxi was probably in great danger.
Wang Xiaoxi's wife even went to Wang Xuecheng and cried to him.
If Wang Xuecheng had not introduced Wang Xiaoxi to Yan Ci and Huang Qubing, Wang Xiaoxi would not have had the capital to start a business, and the business might have ended up in vain. He would not have gone to Xiliang and would have stayed at home to run the shop.
Thanks to the investment from Yan Ci and Huang Qubing, Wang Xiaoxi was emboldened and bought the goods before diving headfirst into the Xiliang scam. He hadn't seen any trace of the goods for over a year.
Wang Xuecheng felt very guilty and regretful for a while.
If something really happens to Wang Xiaoxi, wouldn’t he become a sinner?
Wang Xiaoxi's wife's crying increased Wang Xuecheng's psychological burden, and he was always thinking about this matter.
Hearing that Wang Xiaoxi had returned safely to Beijing, it took him a while to react, "Brother Yan didn't lie to me. Is Boss Wang really back?"
Yan Ci nodded repeatedly, "It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as he came back, he didn't stay at home, but went to Wenqing Bookstore to report that he was safe. I know you are worried about his safety, so I rushed to tell you the good news as soon as possible."
"Very good!"
Wang Xuecheng grinned, a silly and bright smile.
The stone that was weighing on my heart finally fell to the ground.
Not having to carry a life on my shoulders, I felt more than two pounds lighter.
"Thank you, Brother Yan, thank you so much!"
"Hey, we're brothers, it's so awkward to say that. You're not busy today!"
After talking for quite a while, Yan Ci finally noticed that there were only two or three students filling out registration forms at the enrollment point.
Moreover, the two of them talked for such a long time, but he didn't see anyone come in to sign up.
The huge registration point seemed deserted.
This situation is not right!
Whenever he came, the place was always crowded. Wang Xuecheng had to find time to talk to him.
When did the enrollment point of Shanhe Academy become so deserted?
There are only a few cats and dogs, this is not the reputation of Shanhe Academy.
Wang Xuecheng smiled, not caring at all, "Brother Yan, just look left and right and you'll understand."
It was clear that the enrollment point had been deserted for a long time. As the person in charge of the enrollment point, Wang Xuecheng had gradually calmed down after his initial shock.
Yan Ci walked out of the enrollment point and looked left and right.
Hey!
I didn't notice it when I came here, but now I realize that other academies are so sneaky. They actually set up enrollment points on the left and right sides of the Shanhe Academy Xinmin County enrollment point.
Is this a case of taking advantage of the favorable conditions or a bank run?
On the left is the Imperial College admissions point, on the right is the Zhixing Scholars admissions point, and on the right is the Military Academy admissions point.
Looking further ahead, you can also see the Sun Family School enrollment point, the So-and-So Academy enrollment point...
At some point, a row of two-story buildings was built next to the public housing in Xinmin County Market.
The shops on the first floor have all become enrollment points for major academies.
Even more outrageous was that academies in Jiangnan had also joined in the fun, opening branches in the capital, promising that as long as students passed the entrance exam and achieved excellent grades, they could study for free, with treatment even better than that offered by Shanhe Academy.
Pooh!
Stern words and angry.
He walked back into the Shanhe Academy enrollment center and asked Wang Xuecheng, "When did this happen? I remember this didn't happen the last time I came here!"
Wang Xuecheng invited him to tea. "Brother Yan, the last time you came here was half a year ago. This row of enrollment points has appeared in the last three to five months. At first, I was as angry as you, but after a while, it no longer mattered. Those who should apply to Shanhe Academy will always choose Shanhe Academy. Those who hesitate and can't make up their minds will be anxious even if they get in."
Yan Ci was still furious. "Those academies out there are clearly copying and imitating the Shanhe Academy's operating model. They couldn't have opened a recruitment center anywhere else, but they had to open one here. It's obvious they're trying to steal Shanhe Academy's students."
Wang Xuecheng invited Yan Ci to have tea, "Brother Yan, don't bother with them.
Yan Ci took a sip of tea. As a student of Shanhe Academy, he couldn't help but take it into consideration.
He asked Wang Xuecheng, "Has the number of students admitted to Shanhe Academy decreased in the past few months? Is the impact of being squeezed out by them serious?"
Wang Xuecheng smiled and said, "My admissions office may look deserted, but it's actually not a big deal. During the entrance exam, the dormitories were all full. You don't know, students these days are so smart, applying to several academies at once. Because the exam times are different for each academy, and there's no registration fee, they say it only takes a quarter of an hour. Since they're all on the same street anyway, it's easier to apply all at once. Who knows, maybe I'll get accepted by one of them."
"Hey! These bookworms have no faith at all. They actually applied to several academies at the same time. What do you call this, a gamble?"
Yan Ci was indignant, believing that the reading atmosphere had been corrupted and the original intention had been lost.
Wang Xuecheng doesn't mind the students' actions. "If there were other academies to choose from when I applied to Shanhe Academy, I would have applied to several academies at the same time like them. I would have gone to whichever academy accepted me first. Of course, I would have only gone if the education was free."
Yan Ci pointed at Wang Xuecheng, his face filled with grief and indignation. "Brother Wang, your position is not firm! It was Shanhe Academy that trained you, and now you are an employee of the Shanhe Academy Admissions Office. How can you say such a thing?"
"In front of Brother Yan, I will naturally speak my mind and never say anything nonsense."
Yan Ci sighed several times, looking helpless.
Wang Xuecheng consoled him, "Don't take it so seriously. Even the dean said this is a good thing. If academies want to attract students based on their strength, they must improve the quality of their education to be able to compete. This will allow a hundred schools to flourish, rather than just one dominant institution. At the same time, students will have more choices."
Yan Ci thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth.
He laughed heartily, "Shanhe Academy has never been afraid of competition. If other academies want to snatch food from Shanhe Academy, they must first weigh their own strengths."
Several students filled out the application form and handed it to Wang Xuecheng.
Wang Xuecheng confirmed that the content was correct and gave each person a verification card. "You must bring your verification card with you during the exam. This is your proof of entry into the examination room. Without the verification card, you cannot take the entrance exam."
When the students heard how important it was to have the matching cards, they quickly put them close to their bodies. After saying thank you, they walked out of the enrollment center together.
Yan Ci was very curious and ran to the door to take a look.
As expected, several students had just registered for Shanhe Academy and then ran next door to apply for Zhixing Academy.
To make him angry...
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, they just went out and entered the enrollment point of Zhixing Academy next door."
Damn, no moral integrity at all.
He was no match for his former demeanor. Having chosen Shanhe Academy, he dedicated himself to it. He would not give up until he was admitted.
Wang Xuecheng didn't care at all and waved Yan Ci back.
"Do you know where they went before applying to Shanhe Academy?"
Yan Ci shook his head.
Wang Xuecheng pointed to the next door and said, "They applied to the Imperial College first, and then came to apply to the Shanhe Academy. It seems that they will go through this street one by one and register at each enrollment point. Anyway, it doesn't cost money, just a little time and effort."
The corners of Yan Ci's mouth twitched, and he couldn't bear to look at it.
He suddenly remembered something. "The Military Academy has its own students. Why are they joining in the fun?"
Wang Xuecheng said nonchalantly, "Maybe he's just occupying some territory."
puff!
Yan Ci felt terrible.
Wang Xuecheng took a sip of tea and continued, "I heard the military academy has opened two classes and plans to recruit students from the public. The requirements are quite low: just know 200 characters and pass the physical fitness test, and you're in. But even with such low requirements, they haven't filled up yet."
Hahaha……
The Military Academy has been humiliated this time!
With such low requirements, we can’t even recruit enough people.
Both the face and the dignity are gone.
I wonder how the old man Zhuguogong is doing now?
…
Duke Zhuguo, who was in the signing room of the Military Academy, sneezed several times.
Who the hell is thinking about him?
After wiping his nose, he continued to fire at full force, blasting the people from the admissions office to death.
"One hundred people! I only want one hundred students recruited from the public. It's been so long, and we still haven't recruited enough. Do you know what people are saying about our military academy? They say we recruit a class of beggars because only beggars are willing to come. Don't you feel ashamed? I feel ashamed, I am completely ashamed. Come on, pat my face and see how thick my skin is. Can I withstand your abuse?"
The person in charge of the admissions office, a man in his thirties or forties, was almost scolded to tears.
He dared not retreat, so he could only lean back to avoid the saliva of the Duke of Zhuguo.
Oh, oh, oh…
So miserable!
"You still have the nerve to cry!"
When Duke Zhuguo saw the other party's eyes turn red, his anger burned even more fiercely.
"So you have some shame! If you have some shame, why can't you recruit a single student? I'll give you another half month. If you still can't recruit enough students, I'll rip your skin off in front of the entire school and embarrass you in front of everyone. Get out!"
