Chapter 65: First Experience at University Chen Zhuo's home is in Yuexiu District, and the South Campus of Zhongda Lingyuan is in Haizhu District, which is actually not far away. For someone like Chen Zhe who grew up in Guangzhou, he doesn't actually need his parents to take him to school because he is so familiar with the route. However, Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin still took half a day off in the morning. In the words of Old Chen, this is called "perfecting the process." Around 9 o'clock in the morning, after the family of three finished their meal, Lao Chen drove his old Peugeot, which was several years old, carrying his wife, son and a lot of daily necessities, and came to Zhongda University. The main entrance of the school with its flying eaves and pointed corners was crowded with students and parents. The scorching sun made everyone sweat profusely, but it still couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. This is CUHK, the top university in South China. The student volunteers were busy and enthusiastically entertaining the younger students, giving them directions and answering their questions. At this time, a tanned boy saw Chen's family and trotted over to ask, "Which college are you from?" Chen replied politely: "I'm from Lingyuan."
"Ringyuan?" The boy was a little surprised and looked at Chen carefully. Then, he smiled and said, "Your Lingnan College is very wealthy, unlike us who just put up a few parasols to welcome new students. The new student registration office of Lingnan College is in your Lingnan MBA Center Building. Just walk straight ahead along Yixian Road. If you encounter any questions, just ask other volunteers..." Chen Zhuo thanked him and walked forward along Yixian Road. There were freshmen pushing luggage all around me, and on their faces I could see the innocence and stupidity that was common in high school, as well as a little bit of confusion that comes with just entering college. As he was walking, Chen suddenly turned around and looked at the entrance of the university. He suddenly felt a little emotional: It turns out that the grand graduation and college entrance examination in my memory were already three months ago. The Lingnan MBA Center Building is not difficult to find. I saw it after asking a few volunteers. Sure enough, I saw a sign that said "Lingnan College New Student Registration Office" in the lobby on the first floor, with several tables next to it. The environment here is much better than other departments. Not only do you not have to stay in the sun, but there are also bottles of mineral water on the table for you to drink at will. Lingnan College enrolled only 2007 students in the 237 class, divided into six majors: international economics and trade, economics, finance, logistics management, finance, and insurance. Basically, there is one class for each major, and each class has only more than 30 students, which is truly elite education. Not to mention the teaching staff, Chen Zhuo even went to the school’s official website to check it out. As of November 2006, Lingnan College has 11 full-time teachers, including 76 professors, 24 associate professors, and 27 lecturers; among them, there are 25 doctoral supervisors and 21 master's supervisors. There is a saying that goes, the most awesome person you can possibly meet in real life is your college teacher. Therefore, Lingnan College students have a slightly higher status in the South Campus of CUHK. This is why the senior student was a little surprised after hearing about it. Chen Zhuo, the head teacher of economics, is a man in his forties. He looks ordinary and is even a little thin, but his eyes are easy-going and calm. He talks to the students who have registered for class while guiding them to fill out the information. His information is also on the official website. Xu Qingcheng, the head teacher of the undergraduate economics class, has the title of associate professor. Soon it was Chen Zhuo's turn. The head teacher first took a look at Chen Zhuo's college entrance examination results on the form. 652 points is considered above average in the class. "Xiao Liu."
Xu Qingcheng said to a boy who was doing registration work next to him: "Give the information to Chen and tell him how to fill it out." "Ok!" The boy handed over a form with both hands and said politely, "Fill in your name and ID card here...Fill in your emergency contact here...If you have any questions, you can ask me." Chen Zhuo took the form and asked, "Are you also in the undergraduate class of economics?" "Yes." The boy smiled and said, "My name is Liu Qiming, and I think we live in the same dormitory." It was a bit strange. We all signed up on the same day, but some students became the head teacher's assistants for no apparent reason. Then, when the class started, they naturally became the class monitors. You should know that the lowest score of Lingnan University’s undergraduate economics class is 635, which is only 15 points less than that of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Therefore, most of the students in the class are basically the second-best students in the local district and county. Of course, there are also some district and county top scorers who would rather study at CUHK than go to the distant capital. It is quite difficult to become a class monitor in a class with so many talented people through normal voting and election. However, if you leave a good impression on your classmates when you register, it will be easy to get passed if no one knows each other. So, even though Liu Qiming is busy now, he actually knows that this is an opportunity to get ahead at the starting line. "As expected, snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways." Chen thought to himself, although he didn't know how Liu Qiming got in touch with the class teacher Xu Qingcheng. but…… Fortunately, I am not a good person either, and I have also laid some hidden plans. Maybe Teacher Qi Zheng’s level of knowledge is not as high as Xu Qingcheng’s, but in the daily affairs of the grade, his say must far exceed that of the class teacher. Next, Liu Qiming instructed Chen on how to go to the Finance Department to pay tuition. When Chen was about to go over, Mao Xiaoqin was planning to follow him. "Mom~" Chen said in a low voice: "The teachers and classmates are watching, let me do such a small thing by myself, otherwise everyone will think that I can't live without my parents." Empress Dowager Mao was right in thinking that Chen Zhe could not be left with the image of a "mama's boy". So, in the end, Chen Zhe went to the financial center alone, and halfway there he quietly took out the receipt for his student loan. The tuition money that Kari's parents gave him was "recharged" into his stock account early on, and he only left himself 200 for three months' living expenses. Chen Zhuo has recently been thinking about how to use the 200 yuan to get through the 100 days. If that doesn't work, he can go home and have more meals under the pretext of "missing his mother". When Chen Zhuo arrived at the financial center, he handed over the receipt. After verifying that it was correct, the staff stamped Chen Zhuo's name, indicating that his tuition would be transferred through the bank two months later. Returning to the MBA Center Building, Chen was about to go back to the dormitory. Liu Qiming, perhaps because they were roommates, reminded Chen: "In the conference hall, Professor Zhan Hui is talking about the economic situation. If you are interested, you can go and listen. He is very good."
In an institution of the level of Sun Yat-sen University, there are often some people who can only be seen on TV coming to give lectures. Among Zhan Hui’s many titles, one can be "Economic Advisor to the Guangdong Provincial Government" or "Editor-in-Chief of China Finance Magazine". Of course, he is also a visiting professor of Lingnan College, so the college invited him to come on the first day of school to talk about the international and domestic situation. One is to demonstrate one's soft power, and the other is to stimulate the interest of new students in economic research. "Would you like to go and have a listen?" Chen asked his parents for their opinions. "Of course I have to go." Mao Xiaoqin immediately said: "Even if you don't understand what the expert is saying, it's good to take a photo as a souvenir." Old Chen knew a little more about Zhan Hui and knew that he held many social positions. This kind of person could reveal the country's policy direction in just a few words, so he was somewhat interested. So, the family of three brought their luggage to the conference hall of the MBA center building, but they didn't expect that the place was packed with people. I guess there are some who are not freshmen of Lingnan College who also come here to experience the style of the great professor. Chen Zhe and the others were standing on the stairs, and didn't notice that Bian Xiaoliu and her boyfriend Ji Haixing were sitting not far away. ······ (There will be another chapter at 8pm.
