After returning to the dormitory, Yuan Fangguo was surprised that almost everyone in the dormitory knew about his heroic act.
"Comrade Xu Honggang is a model of bravery last month. He fought a group of gangsters alone with his bare hands..." Sun Kejian told Yuan Fangguo what happened last month.
Yuan Fangguo had an impression of Xu Honggang mentioned by Sun Kejian. In his previous life, after he joined the army, he served in the Armed Police Mobile Division which was reorganized from a certain Red Army Division. He remembered that Xu Honggang had even given a report to their unit.
"This is a role model," said Yuan Fangguo.
Sun Kejian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, he should be rated as a model. Fang Guo, your next step will be to become a model of our school."
Yuan Fangguo smiled bitterly and shook his head. Deep down, he didn't want to be a role model. This was an era of crazy deification. Once he was named a model, at least in his college years, he would be restricted by the invisible shackles of the model, making it impossible for him to do anything during this period. Take the book rental business for example. If everyone knew that the role model in their minds was engaged in the book rental industry in his spare time and that there were some pornographic books in the business, wouldn't his role model image be destroyed in no time?
What's more, I was reported for hawking things, so I can never be a role model.
After thinking about it, Yuan Fangguo decided to find counselor Lin Weidong to report his thoughts.
When Lin Weidong learned that Yuan Fangguo did not want to be a model, he was also surprised. This model title is something that many people want but cannot get, but Yuan Fangguo did not want it.
"Think it over carefully." Lin Weidong took a deep puff of his cigarette. The cigarette was given by Yuan Fangguo. He didn't like this smooth-looking male student.
Yuan Fangguo nodded and said sincerely, "Teacher Lin, I've really thought it through. I have a lot of shortcomings. That time I bravely stood up for justice was purely out of self-protection. You know, my family is in financial difficulty. If that bastard had taken all my money, how would I have been able to afford tuition? So, to be honest, this wasn't really a brave act in my heart, but a completely instinctive act of self-protection.
After listening to Yuan Fangguo's words, Lin Weidong was actually very conflicted. From a work perspective, as Yuan Fangguo's counselor, with Yuan Fangguo as a role model, there would be no problem in his all-round progress in the next few years, which would probably be of some help to his personal promotion. However, from a personal perspective, he was also a man in his twenties with dreams and ambitions in his heart. For an ambitious man, he would not allow anyone who was better than himself to be around him.
Lin Weidong seemed to be smoking absentmindedly, staring out the window without blinking, his mind quickly weighing the pros and cons.
Soon, he turned around, looked at Yuan Fangguo, and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to see Dean Zhang. It's best if you tell Dean Zhang what's going on."
Yuan Fangguo nodded.
Just before dinner, Lin Weidong took Yuan Fangguo and walked quickly towards Zhang Shunzhong's office.
However, they didn't immediately enter Zhang Shunzhong's office, as there seemed to be several people sitting around inside, chattering about something. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Shunzhong suddenly raised his head and saw Yuan Fangguo standing outside the door.
"Xiao Yuan is outside?" Zhang Shunzhong blurted out.
Soon, Yuan Fangguo and Lin Weidong walked in.
"Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?" Zhang Shunzhong asked with a smile.
"Dean Zhang, Xiao Yuan doesn't want to be a model." Lin Weidong blurted out.
Everyone in the office was surprised, including Zhang Shunzhong.
After a while, Zhang Shunzhong finally spoke.
"Is this what you really think?"
Yuan Fangguo nodded. "Yes, Dean, this is what I really think. I'm not as heroic as everyone says. I was purely acting out of self-protection. My family is very poor, and my parents worked hard to get my tuition. I couldn't let those bastards take it away. If they really did, I think I would have wanted to die. This was my most honest thought at the time. I also have many shortcomings. If I were elected as a model, I'm sure many classmates would have objections, so I really don't want to be a model at all."
"Are you afraid of being bound by the moral shackles of a role model?" Zhang Shunzhong asked with a smile.
Yuan Fangguo once again showed his true character. "Yes, moral shackles are really invisible. I don't want to be bound by traditional moral shackles in the next few years. What I want is to be able to have intense intellectual sparks in the open and inclusive atmosphere of Bashu University, rather than constantly worrying about how I haven't been a role model. It's really tiring."
Upon hearing Yuan Fangguo's description of the model, almost everyone in the room laughed, and Zhang Shunzhong was no exception.
He thought Yuan Fangguo's words made a lot of sense and nodded from time to time.
"We were just discussing this matter, and we have almost reached an agreement. However, if you really insist on your own ideas, we will fully respect you and will not blame you at all. At least in my personal opinion, you are a very thoughtful and genuine student." Zhang Shunzhong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dean. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." After saying this, Yuan Fangguo bowed slightly to Zhang Shunzhong.
