Chapter 272 Traveling back from the modern times to the 27th year of the Republic of China

It was almost time for morning self-study.

There were no people talking or quarreling in the classroom, and since Ye Heqi and Sang Peizhen did not try to lower their voices when they talked, the students who were closer to them heard their conversation.

Before Sang Peizhen responded, a girl who had always been at odds with Ye Heqi spoke first: "I say, what are you doing? You can do anything else with your free time."

"Huang Mu, who are you talking about!" Ye Heqi looked at the other party.

Huang Mu crossed his arms and curled his lips in disdain: "If Tsinghua University and Fudan University don't recruit girls, then don't recruit them. Can't we just apply to those universities that recruit girls?"

"Deng Chunlan wrote letters to the president of Peking University, went to Peking to contact newspapers and stir up public opinion, because she had no school to go to."

"You have a school to go to, but you are still jumping around like a monkey. What else can you do but make trouble?"

Another girl Ji Baiqing who had a good relationship with Huang Mu also said: "You have to get involved in everything. Even if there is nothing, you have to make trouble yourself. You want to show your ability, right?"

Another girl named Cheng Fu enviously said: "If you ask me, why bother to go to college? Isn't it enough to graduate from high school? It will be difficult to get married if you continue to study. Hey, Ji Baiqing, I heard that your family has arranged a marriage for you, is that right?"

Ji Baiqing hooked her hair with her fingers, and boasted nonchalantly: "Yes, the second son of the Ocean Shipping Company. They said that I will marry him after I graduate."

Huang Mu smiled, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "The second son of the Ocean Shipping Company is very generous to Bai Qing. Whatever Bai Qing wants, he will buy it without saying a word. Bai Qing will definitely enjoy a good life after marrying him." "

Unlike some people, who get along so well with those poor guys in Shanghai Middle School, and can't enjoy much happiness, but they have learned that poor and pedantic spirit. I can smell it even from such a distance."

As he said, Huang Mu fanned his nose with his hand, with a pretentious look of disgust on his face.

Sang Peizhen couldn't listen any more: "Huang Mu, you guys have had enough."

"Just talk about college stuff, why are you blaming our friends for no reason?"

Huang Mu threatened directly: "Haha, Sang Peizhen, I advise you to hang out with Ye Heqi less in the future. With her nonsense energy, no one knows what bigger troubles she can cause in the future, and sooner or later she will implicate you."

"You won't even have a place to cry by then."

Ye Heqi was originally very angry, but after hearing this, he slowly calmed down: "Yes, I made a cheongsam out of nonsense, and I made a lot of business for my family's clothing factory by making nonsense."

"Your clothing factory is in the red. The original big customer thinks your clothing factory has no new ideas, so he started to do business with my clothing factory. This is all my fault."

"You!" Huang Mu was exposed, and he slammed the table and pointed at Ye Heqi.

Ye Heqi also stood up from her seat, stretched out her hand to hold Huang Mu's hand, and put her hand aside: "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Huang Mu wanted to shake off Ye Heqi's hand, but failed. She asked cautiously, "What are you betting on?"

Ye Heqi: "On whether I can succeed in doing this."

Huang Mu's face was instantly filled with smiles when he heard that it was a bet: "What if you lose?"

Ye Heqi: "If I lose, I will stand on the school playground, in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and shout three times that I, Ye Heqi, am not as good as you, Huang Mu."

"Deal!"

Huang Mu agreed immediately.

That posture, as if he was afraid that if he hesitated for a second, Ye Heqi would regret it.

Ye Heqi: "Wait, I haven't finished talking yet. What if I win?"

Huang Mu said nonchalantly: "You tell me what to do."

Ye Heqi: "Weren't you just talking about the blindness-cancelling class? If I win, you have to be a teacher in the blindness-cancelling class for three months, and you have to apologize to my friends."

Huang Mu has a bad temper, but his academic performance is not bad.

When he entered school, Huang Mu had an additional question that he didn't solve, and Ye Heqi beat him. The grudge between the two started from then on - of course, it was Huang Mu who unilaterally disliked Ye Heqi.

"Apologize to those poor guys..." Huang Mu pouted and muttered unsatisfiedly, but she didn't think she would lose at all, so she nodded.

Ye Heqi looked at Ji Baiqing and Cheng Fu who had just spoken: "How about you, do you want to join this gambling game?"

"Of course." Huang Mu hurriedly encouraged his two friends.

Ji Baiqing and Cheng Fu thought about it and felt that the probability of winning was very high, so they both agreed.

This farce ended, and the bell for morning self-study rang at the right time.

Ye Heqi was pulled back to his seat by Sang Peizhen.

Sang Peizhen whispered, "Heqi, why did you make a bet with them?"

Ye Heqi replied in the same voice, "Do you still remember my ambition?"

"I remember, it's women's interpretation..." Sang Peizhen blinked and said, "You don't want to change Huang Mu and the others, do you?"

"It's better to give it a try anyway." Ye Heqi didn't say much, she just had a sudden impulse.

Sang Peizhen worried, "But what if I lose the bet?"

In fact, if the two of them didn't have a good relationship... If someone else said what Ye Heqi said, Sang Peizhen's thoughts would probably be similar to Huang Mu's.

Sang Peizhen would not attack Ye Heqi, but she was not very optimistic about this matter.

Ye Heqi was very calm about this: "If I lose, I lose. How can I lose anything by standing on the playground and shouting a few words?"

"Huh?" Sang Peizhen was shocked.

So it's not a loss if I lose, right?

Thinking of this, Sang Peizhen couldn't help laughing: "By the way, which university do you want to go to the most, Tsinghua University or Fudan University?"

Ye Heqi revealed: "I have always wanted to go to Peking University the most."

Peking University is the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement.

If she had the opportunity to go to Peking University when she traveled back to this era, she would definitely want to go to Peking University the most.

Sang Peizhen: "..."

Ye Heqi explained seriously: "I have never thought about applying to Tsinghua University and Fudan University. This is a matter of my own wish."

"But Tsinghua University and Fudan University did not provide me with the opportunity to apply, that is their problem."

- I can choose not to apply, but they cannot not allow me to apply.

This is Ye Heqi's logic.

Sang Peizhen remained silent.

It turns out that there really are such "fools" who have nothing to do with things but still work hard to "struggle". At

this moment, Sang Peizhen once again clearly felt the gap between herself and Ye Heqi.

She can't be as brave as Ye Heqi.

However, after staying with such a brave person for a long time, she seems to become much braver than before.

"Then go ahead and do it." Sang Peizhen held Ye Heqi's hand and smiled, "I will work hard with you."

***

There was anger and annoyance in his heart, but Ye Heqi did not lose his mind because of it.

Directly writing articles to attack Tsinghua University and Fudan University, apart from letting herself vent her anger, will not change the status quo.

Because she was in Shanghai, Ye Heqi decided to write a letter to the president of Fudan University and the Shanghai Federation of Education Associations to express her demands.

She said: Shanghai, as the most economically developed city in China, and Fudan University, as a top university in China, should first set an example in front of the people.

After waiting for a few days, Ye Heqi received a reply from the Shanghai Federation of Education Associations.

The Shanghai Federation stated: Shanghai University, which was established last year, can recruit female students. If Ye Heqi is interested, it is recommended to apply for Shanghai University.

Ye Heqi has heard of Shanghai University.

This Shanghai University is not the Shanghai University of later generations.

It existed for only five years. It was a product of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It was instigated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The main purpose of its establishment was to accelerate the training of more Red Party cadres. It was equivalent to a cadre college. The most famous department of the school is the Department of Sociology, which focuses on studying the theoretical basis of Marxism. [Note]

After the collapse of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the school was forcibly disbanded by the Nationalist Government. Since then, the Ministry of Education of the Nationalist Government has not recognized the student status of college students, resulting in many unfair treatments for college students in their subsequent employment. [Note]

Ye Heqi wrote back again, emphasizing her request: she knew that Shanghai University was recruiting female students, but what she wanted was not just a university quota, but that Fudan University would allow female students to enroll. She hoped that the Shanghai Federation of Education Associations would take her request seriously.

While waiting for the Shanghai Federation of Education Associations to reply again, Ye Heqi found that Fudan University had never made any move.

Either the letter was not seen, or the letter was seen, but the other party did not take her request to heart.

Ye Heqi wrote another letter, asking in the letter: Is the school not recruiting female students because it is concerned about something? If there is any concern, the school can raise it.

Just after the letter was sent, the reply from the Shanghai Federation of Education Associations arrived.

The Federation did not give a particularly clear reply this time, but played Tai Chi, saying that they would try their best to communicate with Fudan University.

But Fudan University still did not reply.

All of this was within Ye Heqi's expectations.

So she started the second step - to publish in newspapers to seek the help of public opinion.

Ye Heqi compiled her experience during this period into an article, and submitted it to a newspaper under the pseudonym of "The People in the Great Wall".

In the article, Ye Heqi asked: Since coeducation in universities is destined to become a reality, why do some old gentlemen still hold on to the old ideas and hinder the progress of society?

"If the university refuses to admit me because I don't have enough talent, then I have no objection."

"This is a competition that tests knowledge and grades, but we don't even have the qualifications to stand at the starting line and compete with others."

At the end of the article, Ye Heqi also secretly stated that she plans to write the second part of "The People in the Great Wall", which will mainly talk about the educational process a hundred years later.

Ye Heqi's vest is not an unknown person in the newspaper industry, so as soon as she published the newspaper and said that she would continue to write the second part, it immediately caused countless fans to spread the word.

In addition to being excited about the news of the second part, fans also paid attention to the news of school admissions.

Shanghai women's publications such as "Women's Times" and "Women's World" immediately smelled the wind and started discussions on this phenomenon.

The Women's Times directly set the topic of the next issue as: The struggle is not over yet.

The heat of the "Renxu School System" had almost subsided, but because of this incident, it has once again sparked waves of discussion.
