At the end of August, Teikyo University started later than in previous years. Most other schools had already started a day or two, but Teikyo University was still a little slow to start.
Apart from the students who were somewhat confused, there was no reaction from the outside world. Even though Imperial Capital was known as the best university in China, it was still a school, not a nuclear power plant, and its delay in opening a few days would not have much impact on society.
On the last day of August, Teikyo University finally opened.
The opening ceremony was extremely grand. The whole school was decorated with lights and huge hydrogen balloons held up banners that read "Welcome the Class of 215". All school leaders stood at the school gate to welcome the new students.
The headmaster Hua Xiaowen, with half white hair and high spirits, dressed up in a formal attire and braved the 35-degree heat to welcome every freshman present and shook hands with them enthusiastically. This naturally attracted widespread attention and made the freshmen flattered.
It was not unusual for a school principal to welcome freshmen, but standing outside the gate in the hot sun to welcome them was the first time in Teikyo University's history. Even ordinary school principals would only give a speech at the freshman welcome party, and some major universities might only have the dean of a certain department go.
Not to mention the imperial capital, the principals of the so-called Imperial Academy of Zhou are not ordinary people. Almost all of them are old leaders who have retired from the core of power in the temple.
Hua Xiaowen once served as a minister in the Ministry of Personnel, although he only served for a year, which was basically a consolation from the higher-ups. But he was still a minister after all, and thanks to this experience, he was successfully elected as the president of Teikyo University.
I have been doing this for 10 years and have accumulated a wealth of connections.
Today was his first time to welcome new students. Outsiders were moved to tears of gratitude, but Hua Xiaowen called it the greatest opportunity in his life. He didn't know how many people would fight for the opportunity to stand here and welcome new students.
Putting aside the calculation of interests, Hua Xiaowen was also looking forward to meeting that person. This person was a god-level figure, and it would be a great honor to shake hands with him.
A young man wearing glasses walked up to Hua Xiaowen with trepidation and introduced himself loudly: "Hello, President. I am Xie Zhanzhi, the second place in the national college entrance examination."
When the second place in the college entrance examination was called out, the crowd around them stopped talking instantly. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the young man wearing glasses with surprise in their eyes.
This year's college entrance examination is more difficult than in the past decade, and the second place in the college entrance examination has been a hot topic on the Internet recently. It's not that he took the second place, but that he scored 710 points, which is 35 points higher than the third place.
As for the first place, no one knows how many points it got. There is a rumor on the Internet that the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Qinzhou scored 795 points, just 5 points short of the full score. This statement is too outrageous and is not recognized by most people.
The genuine second place in the college entrance examination has been in the spotlight recently.
The young man wearing glasses did not show any restraint despite being stared at by so many people, and behaved neither arrogantly nor humbly.
Boasting is not in line with the virtue of humility in China. Boasting and showing off are considered inferior in the mainstream thinking of China. But only in this way can he leave an impression in front of a big man like Hua Xiaowen, which will be of great benefit to him in the future.
Principal Hua Xiaowen nodded slightly. Although he didn't care much in his heart, he still did a good job on the surface. He talked to the second-placed student in the college entrance examination, whom he just knew, and encouraged him to live up to Zhaohua, study hard, and serve the motherland after admission.
The second place in the college entrance examination was naturally excited and his face flushed. He bowed several times and then strode into the campus. In his heart, he probably imagined how he would dominate the campus, how he would receive countless applause, and how he would enter the society in the future.
Hua Xiaowen was not interested in these. He was ranked second in the college entrance examination, and even the top scorer would not be taken seriously by him. Geniuses appear every year, but only a small number of them succeed.
The person he was welcoming today was not a genius, but someone who had already reached the top. Others came to study, but he was a god descended from heaven, and Hua Xiaowen understood this very well. Maybe for such a person, he didn't care whether he would welcome him or not, but what if he did care?
Hua Xiaowen had a similar experience. When he took a walk in a certain college, someone like the dean would soon come to accompany him. Many times, he would just take a walk after dinner, but he couldn't resist the people below trying to figure out and please him.
At 1 p.m., the temperature reached its peak. Hua Xiaowen's old face was sunburned and sweat covered his chest and back. Many school leaders around him looked nervous, fearing that the principal would collapse.
A 20-year-old young person may not be able to stand for an hour in this temperature, let alone Hua Xiaowen, an elderly man who is nearly 60 years old.
"Principal, please go back and rest. If you keep standing like this, who knows what might happen."
Hua Xiaowen shook his head and refused, saying righteously: "There are still students who haven't arrived yet, I can't favor one over the other."
At 2 pm, Hua Xiaowen finally couldn't bear it anymore and was helped into the sunshade. This scene was recorded by someone with a mobile phone, and maybe in a few days he will be called the "most beautiful principal".
In today's Internet-popular world, even if Hua Xiaowen does not do any marketing himself, people will give him various titles in order to attract traffic.
The sun had already set at 6pm, and there was still half an hour before the registration for new students was over. Hua Xiaowen became restless, the atmosphere gradually became tense, and he was still wiping the sweat from his palms with a tissue.
Outsiders just thought he was tired after standing all day and didn't think much about it.
A teacher came over and asked, "Principal, I don't think anyone will come again. Do you want to go back and rest first?"
