Chapter 172 Li Ye: Don’t Believe What I Say
Yu Liansheng was very angry.
He had been feeling unhappy since before today's lecture even started.
The freshman sitting in the back seat was able to make the female classmates laugh with his "humorous and witty" behavior in such a precious learning opportunity.
This learning attitude is very incorrect.
Think about three years ago, when I just entered Kyoto University. The learning atmosphere in the school was so strong. Everyone’s mind was occupied with nothing but studying. We would argue over a knowledge issue and couldn’t sleep until we couldn’t figure it out.
But look at the past two years, dancing has become a trend in schools, poets are everywhere, and everyone has started to study success, hiding their thoughts deep in their hearts, saying less and making fewer mistakes, and not saying anything and being right. Where is the sense of responsibility to "take the world as one's own responsibility"?
When the lecture started, the freshman actually only brought his ears. While others were taking notes, he just sat there with his ears perked up and in a daze.
And he even said to the girl shamelessly, "I don't need paper and pen."
[You have a good memory, right? Okay, you wait.]
Yu Liansheng made up his mind that as soon as the lecture was over and Mr. Zhang left, he would test the boy on his homework: Did he understand the political economics in his freshman year?
Why waste your seat if you don't understand?
But after the lecture, Mr. Zhang hadn't left yet! Naoto Nakamura jumped out and pissed off Yu Liansheng.
As a student not majoring in this field, what qualifications do you have to question Mr. Zhang's arguments and even ask him to correct them?
Although if he were to ask himself, if he, Yu Liansheng, were to hear the words "the flowers you plant are about to collapse" in front of foreigners, he would also be furious and would go up to fight without hesitation.
But this is our own territory. No matter who you are, you have to control your temper and not tolerate your bad habits.
The students nearby knew Yu Liansheng's temper and immediately grabbed his arm tightly.
But how could anyone stop a cannon like Juliansheng?
He struggled hard to break free from his classmates' pull, stood up, stepped on people's heads and jumped to the front, spitting in the face of the bastard. If the other party dared to curse, he would hit him hard with a hammer.
But as soon as Yu Liansheng raised his butt, someone behind him stole his limelight. When he turned around, it was that guy, which made him even angrier.
[What are you robbing for? Can a freshman like you handle this kind of thing involving daily life? I should be the one to do it. I have offended so many people anyway.]
But after Yu Liansheng heard Li Ye's entire sentence, he felt really relieved.
"It seems that the economic prosperity or decline of your life does not depend on your efforts, diligence and intelligence, but on another more powerful country, right?"
Li Ye's words were like thunder, silencing the entire scene.
The undisguised and naked contempt between the lines of Li Ye's words made hundreds of people in the audience couldn't help but think of two words - how brave.
Now the environment is friendly between the two sides. Naoto Nakamura has also shown his sincerity. Loans, exchange students, advanced products, etc. have all been invested in the land where Li Ye is.
But the feeling given by Li Ye's words is that he is just short of pointing at Naoto Nakamura's nose and scolding him - you are just a puppet being manipulated by others, or to put it bluntly, you are just someone who guards the house for others, why are you pretending to be so big and powerful?
So you can imagine what kind of explosive effect these words would have on Naoto Nakamura's ears.
Naoto Nakamura was stunned for several seconds before he understood Li Ye's entire sentence. After all, Li Ye was not speaking his native language, and he had never heard such impolite words in three years, so he was not mentally prepared at all.
When he understood what was going on, and looked at Li Ye's face that he wanted to tear apart countless times, he was filled with rage.
"Baga, you're going too far."
Although Nakamura realized his mistake in time and switched to Chinese for the second half of the sentence, using his usual humble grammar, this was just like bowing while chopping off your head, making the matter even more obvious.
"Who the hell are you scolding?"
Yu Liansheng finally jumped up and angrily scolded Naoto Nakamura.
Then he turned his head and winked at Li Ye, saying, "Sit down first and see how I deal with this guy."
This action greatly changed Li Ye's view of Lian Sheng.
Because he could clearly feel that Yu Liansheng was not trying to steal the limelight, but was secretly "protecting" the new students.
"Both of you sit down."
Finally, a teacher at the scene reacted and reprimanded Li Ye and Yu Liansheng in a stern voice.
But he did not just rebuke his own people. He turned around and said to Naoto Nakamura sternly: "Student, this is an academic lecture. Don't argue about non-academic issues here.
Your attitude towards Mr. Zhang just now was very rude. I will report today's incident to your class teacher truthfully."
But at this time, Naoto Nakamura was already furious and would never listen to a teacher's scolding.
He said in a serious tone: "I don't think this is an academic issue. Isn't this an economics lecture? Am I not talking about economic facts?
Our country's economic achievements are undisputedly the best in the world. In the face of ironclad facts, why should we be accused and slandered by a student who knows nothing?"
Naoto Nakamura turned around and pointed at Li Ye.
"Li Ye, you must apologize for your behavior just now. Apologize to us sincerely and publicly."
“.”
Everyone's eyes followed Naoto Nakamura's finger and looked towards Li Ye.
Sun Xianjin, Chen Xiaoling, Zhen Rongrong and others were extremely worried. They never thought that they would suffer such an unexpected disaster just because they came to attend a lecture and learn some knowledge.
Anything involving foreigners is no small matter. After tonight, not to mention Li Ye, even the class teacher Mu Yuning will be taken to the school to give an explanation.
Professor Zhang on the stage also looked over at Li Ye.
Then his eyes flickered unexpectedly.
Li Ye, who looked very young, was not panicked at all. And he was not pretending to be calm. He was really not panicked at all.
In addition, the girl next to him is also interesting. Her cold eyes are as sharp as a knife.
Moreover, the girl's small hand was faintly hooked around Li Ye's big hand, as if giving him psychological support.
[Interesting, the students nowadays are not getting worse with each passing year! ]
Professor Zhang subconsciously opened his glass and brought it to his lips, only to realize that he had already finished the last sip of tea.
Facing Naoto Nakamura's questioning, Li Ye was really not afraid.
Others didn't know that the economic bubble of their daily lives would soon burst, and they were all overwhelmed by the prosperity at the time and lacked confidence, but Li Ye knew it clearly.
Moreover, decades later, Dazhonghua undoubtedly crushed it in terms of economic size, and Li Ye had enough psychological advantage.
This psychological advantage is reflected in personal temperament, which is absolute self-confidence.
Li Ye was about to confidently refute Naoto Nakamura, but unexpectedly someone got there first.
Yu Liansheng said exaggeratedly: "That guy actually knows you? Oh, this is not easy to deal with.
He knows how powerful I am, and now he is picking on you, a weakling. Brother, can you handle this?"
Yu Liansheng spoke very loudly, seemingly worried about Li Ye, but everyone in the audience heard it and burst into laughter.
They are laughing at Naoto Nakamura,
An international student from the class of 1980 was causing trouble for a freshman from the class of 1982. Just now he asked Professor Zhang to correct his mistake, but now he changed his target and asked Li Ye, the student, to apologize.
Is it embarrassing? Are you embarrassed? Are you the only one who is smart?
No matter how thick-skinned Naoto Nakamura was, he couldn't resist, but he still forced himself to say to Li Ye: "You are just a freshman, and you don't quite understand a lot of knowledge. How can you speak carelessly in such a rigorous occasion?
If you apologize to me now, I will not mind your shallowness. Otherwise, I will report the matter to the school truthfully. "
"You are the one who is shallow, right?" Li Ye finally got the chance to speak: "Isn't your rapid development over the past 30 years due to the help of a big country? Do you dare to say it's not true?"
Naoto Nakamura took a deep breath for five seconds, and finally said through gritted teeth: "There is no question of who helps whom between us and the Lighthouse Country. Their assistance to us is normal support between allies, and we have also given them enough rewards and help."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood."
Li Ye shook his head in surprise and said, "The big country I'm talking about is us. You should be grateful to us. Without our help, you would never have the opportunity to achieve economic take-off."
“.”
Naoto Nakamura was stunned. He couldn't imagine that Li Ye would talk such nonsense.
The prosperity of my Great Empire has nothing to do with your flower-growing family.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Naoto Nakamura shouted angrily, and the people around him, except for some astute students and teachers who had already guessed what Li Ye meant, all frowned.
However, Li Ye's expression gradually became colder.
The faint sneer just now turned into a sharp blade.
"I'm not talking nonsense. In 1945, your hometown was already in ruins. In 1950, your people were starving and the whole country saw no hope."
"But in October of '50, we had a war in the north,"
"We all studied economics and we all know that there is a market only when there is demand. The war in the north is the demand.
War is a money-eating beast. In just three years, countless amounts of money and materials have flowed into your country, supporting you in rebuilding your arsenal on the ruins and a whole set of industrial chains to meet market demand."
"Most of the shells on the northern battlefield come from your arsenal. Your ports are filled with transport ships from all over the world.
Your hospitals are filled with wailing wounded soldiers. All of this has given you opportunities. You have experienced explosive growth in machinery, medicine, and transportation."
Li Ye's calm voice continued to echo in the scene, deafening.
“After the war, factories that produced artillery shells began to produce machinery, and factories that produced tanks began to produce cars.”
"Your thirty years of prosperity and development all stem from the explosive demand in those three years. If it weren't for those three years, you would be a poor agricultural country now. If you don't believe me, you can go ask McCoArthur."
Li Ye raised his lips again, and said to Nakamura Naoto with a half-smile: "So, you say, should you thank us for helping you in the first place?"
“.”
The scene was no longer dead silent; it was deathly quiet.
However, those classmates who looked at Li Ye with strange eyes and without saying a word, actually had shining eyes and red cheeks.
What Li Ye said was very sensitive and bold, but isn't this the style of Kyoto University?
Several teachers also remained silent. They did not say anything to stop him and let Li Ye finish his words. In fact, this was a disguised form of support.
It sounds so enjoyable!
Professor Zhang had already returned to his seat, enjoying the show as if he was watching a play.
What Li Ye said might not mean much to him, but it was pleasant to listen to! Who the hell would be willing to be blocked by a small day and openly ask for correction?
I correct it? I correct you.
Who the hell are you?
Just criticize this thing.
Naoto Nakamura seemed to feel the deep disgust that his grandfather had spoken of.
He was surrounded and was fighting sadly alone.
Naoto Nakamura stiffened his neck and said unyieldingly: "Student Li Ye, what you just said is not about economics. You are confusing us and fooling all of us present here."
“.”
Yu Liansheng was about to jump up again.
Just now the teacher said that non-economic issues are not allowed to be discussed here, and you said this is an economic issue. Now you grab the poop and say it is dry food? Can you eat it?
However, Li Ye's reaction was much faster than Yu Liansheng's.
"Really? I'm only a freshman, so I haven't learned some of the knowledge thoroughly enough."
Li Ye bent down and reached out, taking a textbook from Zhen Rongrong - "Political Economy".
The economy of a big country has never been a single economic issue. Naoto Nakamura's words have a little flaw.
Li Ye pointed to the five big words on the cover of the textbook and said, "I may have mixed up these words, so fellow students, classmates and friends, please don't believe everything I say."
“.”
“Hahahahaha~”
Yu Liansheng lowered his voice and praised: "Brother, I really admire you. You are obviously making up stories, but you still make yourself sound so weak and innocent."
"I'm making excuses? How could that be? I'm a good student."
Li Ye's modest explanation once again caused everyone to laugh. A good debate was turned into a laughing scene.
And under the pressure of this thunderous laughter, Naoto Nakamura finally couldn't control his emotions.
