On the podium, the leader praised Li Xiujun and others.
The students below were extremely envious because they had never been treated like this before.
"I heard that this group of students was personally led by Mr. Li San. It seems like they did something extraordinary by going to the west this time. I'm so envious!"
"Yes! Especially that Li Xiujun, she's so pretty, I heard she's the most beautiful girl in the Archaeology Department!"
At this time, Li Xiujun and others finally came on stage.
The people below looked on and burst into thunderous applause.
Good-looking, indeed good-looking, better-looking than anyone they had ever seen.
Exclamations continued to rise, and the group of people in the corner were very reluctant.
The one standing at the front was Shangguan Minghua, and the rest were from this person's dormitory.
"What's there to be proud of?" Shangguan Minghua scoffed, crossing her arms. "We won a big prize abroad. They can't have won some prize back home by relying on connections. I don't know what right these people have to be proud of."
"That's right!" The people in the dormitory stood up for Shangguan Minghua.
They kept saying, "Master Li San's apprentice is amazing, it's all about connections!"
The voices of the group of people became louder and louder, which attracted the interest of many people!
They asked curiously, "How do you know?"
Shangguan Minghua raised his eyebrows. "What does it have to do with you? I just know it."
Because of this person's interference, a group of people began to doubt Li Xiujun's affairs.
After all, no one likes people who are trying to make connections, no matter where they are.
At the beginning of the second academic year, according to the tradition of the college, the school will hold competitions among various colleges, among which the debate competition is the most important.
They will select the best people in the academy to compete with the opposing school.
The dispute between the two concerned the academy's foundation and reputation. When the matter fell into the hands of Mr. Li San, he naturally handed it over without hesitation.
One day after class, Li Xiang was forced to come forward. He coughed on the podium and said, "Be quiet. You have never participated in a competition before, right?"
The students below looked on curiously and shook their heads in confusion.
The archaeology department is different from other subjects. What they learn is tedious and time-consuming, so they spend their entire first semester of their freshman year in the museum.
Many students complained about this, but they still didn't show much interest in this competition...
Someone raised their hand, "This debate is for the law school, right? What does it have to do with us?"
"Tsk, how can you say that?" Li Xiang immediately waved his hands.
He explained to everyone, "You can't think of this as a competition. This is an exchange between our colleges. Do you understand?"
Although his words sounded nice, Li Xiang knew in his heart that their Archaeology Department had never made it past the preliminary round in this debate competition over the years.
So no matter what the situation is, just participate.
"Well then." He stood on the stage and called out his troops, then naturally pushed the blame onto Li Xiujun. "This is what Third Master meant, and it's also the face of our entire archaeology department. Let's be more open-minded. Even if we don't win this competition, having our department beauty represent us is still a face-saving thing, isn't it?"
"That's right." Li Shuai enjoyed watching the fun and clapped until his palms turned red.
Chu Jie is still a decent man, but when he saw Li Xiujun's embarrassed face, he still couldn't help laughing out loud!
Li Xiujun's whole body was resisting, "No, I've never debated before."
"It's not up to you." Li Xiang waved his hand. "It's just a one-round exit. There's no need to pay too much attention to it."
"Teacher, this won't do." For some reason, a group of people suddenly stood up at the back of the class.
The leader's name is Zhang Yun.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiang had a headache.
He just needs to muddle through this debate, he doesn't want any accidents to happen.
However, Zhang Yun was very concerned about this matter and she pointed it out directly.
"Senior, this is a competition that concerns the reputation of our Archaeology Department. You just casually let Li Xiujun handle it. You let a vase lead us. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
“That’s right!”
The people in Zhang Yun’s dormitory also expressed their views.
"What's the point of being good-looking? If you're not good enough, then you're not good enough. Don't think you're a good person just because you won an award at the beginning of the school year!"
There was a sour taste in his words.
Most people in the class didn't care about the competition, but now that they saw the excitement, they immediately became enthusiastic.
"Senior, Zhang Yun seems really eager to participate, but you only let our Xiujun participate. This is really not a good thing to say!"
"I want to join in too." Many people started to make a fuss.
Li Xiujun stood stiffly, feeling helpless. She didn't want to participate in the first place. If Li Xiang hadn't specifically called her out, she would not have gotten involved in this competition.
"In that case, I won't participate." Li Xiujun said bluntly.
She just wanted to slip away as quickly as possible, "No!" Zhang Yun still refused stubbornly.
Her behavior made everyone present suspicious. They couldn't participate or not participate.
"Then what exactly are you going to do?" Li Shuai endured it.
If this person continues to act recklessly, he will have to help Li Xiujun.
"Li Xiujun must attend," Zhang Yun said stubbornly. "If she doesn't, then what our senior said won't count."
"That's true." Li Xiang had a headache and could only agree immediately.
He had asked Li Xiujun to participate before because he was afraid that everyone in the class would be unwilling to participate in the debate competition, so he promoted Li Xiujun, the beauty of the department.
But now, after Zhang Yun's commotion, this group of people are in a difficult position.
He gave up and said, "Anyway, as long as you can pass the preliminary competition and bring honor to our Archaeology Department, I won't stop you from doing anything else."
"Okay." Zhang Yun smiled coldly.
She looked directly at Li Xiujun and said, "Then you must lead us well and make sure we pass the preliminary competition. If we fail, it will be your fault!"
The other party's back and forth made Li Xiujun extremely confused.
There were constant conflicts over the selection of candidates, but fortunately, because of the excitement of this event, many people chose to participate in the debate.
After all, it’s lively, who doesn’t want to watch it?
In order to maintain the reputation of the class, Li Xiujun also carefully selected some people, and Zhang Yun was among them.
The preliminary rounds began on the second day.
However, this game was unusually chaotic. The opponent kept attacking, and the people on Li Xiujun's side spoke confusingly, did not hit the mark, and even helped the opponent speak.
Li Xiujun was the only one who turned the tide throughout the game.
But in the end, I still lost...
After a complete defeat, the opponent came over to shake hands with Li Xiujun. He smiled and asked, "Are all your teammates monkeys?"
