Chapter 8 Invitation Letter

The next morning, Chi Dong was awakened by the alarm clock. He drowsily found his phone by the bed, turned off the ring with difficulty, then climbed out of bed, washed up, put on thick clothes, and prepared to run around the playground before going to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Before leaving, Chi Dong glanced at Lin Jie who was still sleeping on the bed, and did not intend to wake him up. He had seen Lin Jie's class schedule before, and it was slightly different from what he had chosen. Today, he had a full class schedule, and Lin Jie had no class in the morning.

The weather was too cold and there were only a few people on the playground. It rained late last night and a circle of dark water stains was formed on the outside of the track. Most of the water in the inner circle had been cleaned up by the campus sanitation workers.

Chi Dong has been weak since childhood, and his left eardrum was moderately damaged due to a viral cold. Later, his parents saved enough money to take him to a large hospital for examination. The doctor looked at the young boy with pity and said with regret that it was too late and there was no way to cure it. He could only wear a light hearing aid to live.

Whenever he came home and saw his parents looking sad, he would comfort them and tell them not to be sad. After all, it was only his left ear that had the problem, and he could still hear with his right ear.

After many years, everyone gradually let go, but they still asked around for famous surgeons, especially those who were good at ear surgery. As long as there was hope, they never gave up.

Chidong never blamed his parents. Instead, he was very grateful to them for loving him so much, which enabled him to grow up so strong and be admitted to his favorite university.

Perhaps it is his gentle personality that makes people like him, and when he is bullied, all kinds of friends around him will stand up and seek justice for him.

Even when faced with injustice, he can remain calm.

After Chidong finished breakfast, he brought some of Lin Jie's favorite Northeast pancakes back to the dormitory. When he came back, Lin Jie had just woken up.

Chi Dong saw him lying on the bed with a sleepy look on his face, playing with his mobile phone. When he saw him push the door open and come in, Lin Jie couldn't help but look over.

"Good morning, Xiaodong."

"Good morning, Boss. This is the breakfast I brought you. It's still hot."

Lin Jie was very happy, "Thank you, my lovely Xiaodong, you are so nice to me. I will eat later and I have to reply to messages." Then he complained, "Alas, those new members in the club are really not experienced enough. They come to me to ask everything. It's very annoying."

Chi Dong took the books and tablet needed for this class, and before closing the door, he reminded Lin Jie to come down early to have breakfast, otherwise it would be cold, and then he closed the door and walked towards the classroom.

On the way to the classroom, I met several classmates. They were all from the dormitory next door and I had a pretty good relationship with them.

Because Lin Jie was familiar with them, he often visited their dormitory, and over time the two dormitories became familiar with each other.

Chi Dong greeted: "Good morning!"

Several guys in the next dormitory were shivering, looking miserable: "Good morning, late winter, it's so damn cold, we can hardly get up."

"Yeah, I wouldn't have come if I had known. But this class is taught by Professor Chen, so he will definitely take the roll. Oh, how could I be so mean as to choose his class? It's such a sin!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm so jealous of the other three people in your dormitory who didn't choose this course and didn't have to suffer the destruction of the devil, ah :-(."

Chi Dong exhaled, rubbed his cold hands, and smiled: "Don't say that. I've already chosen it. In fact, Professor Chen's class is not that strict. It is said that as long as you attend class on time and are present during roll call, you should not fail."

According to what senior students have said in the past, the failure rate of this course is not high, and most of those who fail are those who have a higher absenteeism rate.

If you are absent during roll call once, you have to retake the course, so Professor Chen has the nickname "Devil Old Man".

The next door dormitory: "I hope so. Let's go in quickly. It's so cold."

Chi Dong: “Well, let’s go.”

The course Chi Dong chose was called Game Construction and Development, and the teacher was Professor Chen, who was the most rigorous and experienced professor in this field.

He chose this course because he wanted to pursue a deeper study in a related field. He thought that many people would choose this course, so when the course selection system was opened, he immediately logged into the website, found this course directly, and chose it without hesitation.

It turns out that the popular course he thought actually had very few candidates. In the later stages, there were really no courses to choose from, so those people chose it.

Professor Chen is an excellent lecturer. Every time he attends his class, Chi Dong would sit in the front row and take notes very seriously.

Ten minutes before the end of the class, the professor stopped the lecture. Just when everyone was excited and thought that the class would end early, the professor suddenly announced a piece of news: "The neighboring Kyoto University has invited the founder of ET. to give a lecture. I have a few invitation letters here. Students who want to stay, please stay. The rest of you can end the class."

ET.Company!

Isn't that a popular gaming company?

It is said that the company was founded by a group of Kyoto University students. The most famous person is the founder who holds the largest share. He is also the leader of their company's R&D center and a well-known talent in Kyoto University - Abu Chisato.

I heard that he was only 20 years old when he founded the company, just five years younger than him. Moreover, he came from a wealthy family, but he was able to quickly build his own business building without relying on a single cent from his family.

It still stands today and is growing stronger.

Chi Dong's heart trembled, thinking that he must get the invitation letter and listen carefully to this legendary figure.

Not only him, but everyone in the class was talking about it as if oil splashed into a pot and exploded after hearing the news. Some girls were so excited that it seemed as if they had already got the invitation letter in their hands.

After the professor called the end of class, no one in the class wanted to leave.

Chi Dong was a little uneasy, afraid that he would not get the invitation letter. He was sitting in the front row and could easily see that the professor had several invitation letters in his hand. Not many, probably about 5.

It was already very impressive that the professor got five Zhang Hans. After all, they were not students of Kyoto University, and the opportunity to learn was definitely reserved for students of this university.

Seeing so many people staying, Chi Dong's face showed a hint of anxiety, and he said nervously: "Why are there so many people!"

The professor looked at the class calmly and said, "Raise your hand and tell us why you are applying for an invitation letter."

Before he finished speaking, hands were raised in the student section.

Chi Dong was not willing to be outdone, and also raised his hand high, fearing that the professor would not be able to see it.

"Since so many people want to attend, then come one by one." The professor adjusted his reading glasses and smiled amiably, "I just noticed that no one left after class, so the students I called on, please answer your reasons and take attendance to see if anyone is absent."

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became heated. Chi Dong even heard someone wailing, "Oh my God, why did the professor still call the roll? I thought he wouldn't call the roll. During the break, he called my roommates to go to the cafeteria to save seats. It's over, this roll call is terrible."

"That's right, it's over. Is it too late to call them back now?"

"It's cold, let's start ordering. I'll try to order for my roommate. Luckily, we have different last names, one is in front and the other is in the back, so there's still a chance to save the situation."

After each person whose name was called gave his or her reasons, Chi Dong saw the professor nodding and smiling from time to time, and he became more and more flustered and uneasy.

When it was his turn, he stood up nervously, calmed himself down, quickly organized his words in his mind, and explained his reasons in detail.

"I chose this major not because I like it, but because I heard others say that it can make money."

"After learning about and studying courses again and again, I found that this major is interesting and malleable. In order to learn more about related courses, I chose your class.

“At the same time, I also read a lot of literature in the library and on the Internet. I really want to go to the lecture at Kyoto University this time. This is the lecture I most want to go to in my life.

"I want to learn about the ideas and experiences of the founder of ET. and gain more knowledge and inspiration from them. I have explained my reasons. Thank you, Professor."

In the end, the reasons Chi Dong stated were recognized by the professor, and like four other students, he successfully obtained an invitation letter to give a lecture at Kyoto University.
