Chapter 1368 College Student Reporting

"Clap clap clap~!" As Yu Zhenglai's voice fell, a round of applause followed.

"Who was the first to sign up?" Qin Xuemei asked Yu Zhenglai curiously upon hearing this.

"The first student to sign up is Lin Hao, a student from Beijing Agricultural University. He is now an afforestation expert at our forest farm. All the trees planted in Bashang now were researched and planted under the leadership of our forest expert."

Yu Zhenglai explained to Qin Xuemei with a smile.

"What? Agricultural university? How can agricultural university students plant trees?"

Upon hearing Yu Zheng mention Lin Hao, a tall boy with a hairstyle that was quite unusual compared to the current environment, he said disdainfully, his sarcasm overflowing.

"Hehe, who is this student?" Yu Zhenglai did not immediately refute, but kindly asked who the boy was.

"My name is Wu Yansheng, and I also graduated from Northeast Forestry University. My major was afforestation!"

At this point, Wu Yansheng said with an arrogant expression:

"In addition, I am from Beijing and could have worked in a forestry research institution in Beijing, but I came here because of Comrade Qin Xuemei's encouragement."

"The forestry expert the leader just mentioned graduated from an agricultural university and can plant trees in Saihanba. So, shouldn't we forestry students be able to handle things with ease here? I don't think planting trees in Saihanba is that difficult!"

As Wu Yansheng spoke, he first looked at Qin Xuemei, and then at Yu Zhenglai.

After hearing Wu Yansheng's introduction, everyone's eyes scanned back and forth between Qin Xuemei and Wu Yansheng, clearly thinking there was some juicy gossip to be had.

There are four boys and five girls here.

The five girls all cast envious glances at Qin Xuemei, but Qin Xuemei wanted to explain something. In the end, she looked at Wu Yansheng and held back.

To others, Qin Xuemei's behavior seemed like shyness, but only Qin Xuemei herself knew how much bitterness she was experiencing inside.

Actually, she signed up to come to Saihanba because she was influenced by her father and Yu Zhenglai, wanting to go to the most difficult place.

She never expected that after registering, she would go to see her father, whom she hadn't seen for many years, only to be driven away by her father's new love—no, his ex-girlfriend of more than twenty years—who mistook her for someone who had come to ask for favors.

He was scolded by that person for this, so in a fit of anger, he signed up to come to Saihanba.

Although the other party later seemed to know her identity and forcibly changed her application, she still decided to come to Saihanba and leave that sad place.

"Good, not bad, that's ambitious! Let's all give Wu Yansheng a round of applause!" After a few polite words, Yu Zhenglai changed the subject and reminded him:

"However, I want to tell you now how amazing Expert Lin is. You might not believe it, but you'll see when you get to Saihanba!"

"Okay, next student."

Yu Zhenglai didn't think much of it, nor did he argue with Wu Yansheng. Instead, he told him that if he wanted to know, he should go to Bashang and see for himself.

Wu Yansheng was a little stunned, but he still awkwardly returned to the group.

"Hello everyone, my name is Meng Yue, Meng as in Confucius and Mencius, and Yue as in the moon."

“I also graduated from Northeast Forestry University. I was classmates with Qin Xuemei, and we both majored in the same field, seedling cultivation.”

"However, I was not inspired by Qin Xuemei; I came here because I was assigned to do so."

After Wu Yansheng stepped back, a girl who was about the same height as Qin Xuemei stepped forward.

She had jet-black hair tied in a ponytail and was even prettier than Qin Xuemei.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a gentle and graceful quality typical of girls from the South. Her voice is soft and sweet, making people feel sorry for her.

After Meng Yue finished speaking, she stepped back to Qin Xuemei's side.

"Okay, everyone, let's give Meng Yue a round of applause."

Yu Zhenglai was clearly good at creating a lively atmosphere. After the event, a burly young man with short hair and a brown crossbody bag came out.

“My name is Na Da Kui. Ji Xiu Rong and I are both from Chengde Street. She lives in Niujuanzigou, and I live in Shidongzigou. We are separated by Cuiqiao Bridge!”

The burly young man looked a bit slow-witted, but when he spoke, he was quite articulate, though he couldn't stop talking about Ji Xiurong.

At this point, everyone realized that this person also seemed to be there to pursue a girl.

"Hey Da Kui, the leader asked you to introduce yourself, so why are you introducing me?" Ji Xiurong complained somewhat discontentedly.

Hearing Da Kui's introduction, Ji Xiurong looked somewhat disgusted, clearly there was more to the story. Ji Xiurong immediately rushed out to explain.

Ji Xiurong also had two small braids, and her skin was a bit rough, but her face also revealed a heroic spirit.

"Hahahaha~!" Everyone laughed good-naturedly upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes, Ji Xiurong always says I'm a chauvinist."

Ji Xiurong's explanation, in Da Kui's eyes, was simply embarrassment and shyness, so he happily said:

"My name is Na Da Kui. I graduated from Chengde Agricultural College. That concludes my introduction."

"Hey, what's your major?" Mengyue asked curiously.

"What's your major?" Da Kui replied matter-of-factly, "Forestry, of course!"

Seeing Da Kui's simple-minded appearance, Wu Yansheng said with disdain:

"You're just a vocational school graduate who studied forestry, which is only the basics. What kind of major do you have?"

Wu Yansheng made a sarcastic remark, then looked at Qin Xuemei with an expression that said, "I'm so amazing."

As a result, Qin Xuemei turned her head to the side, looking as if she didn't recognize this person.

Yu Zhenglai frowned as he looked at Wu Yansheng. He hadn't seen any skill in this college student named Wu Yansheng, but he seemed even more arrogant than Feng Cheng. He just didn't know where his sense of superiority came from.

"What's wrong with vocational school students? Why aren't they specializing? There are forestry students and agriculture students, that's what you call specializing!"

"My Da Kui can plant trees on the mountain and hunt tigers in the forest. Why don't you college students come and try it with me!"

"That Da Kui!"

As Da Kui was about to make a move, he had long been displeased with Wu Yansheng and was now asking for a slap in the face.
However, just as Da Kui rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, Ji Xiurong, who was standing next to Da Kui, put her hands on her hips and shouted.

Da Kui suddenly felt as if his fate had been seized by the throat, and his anger instantly died down.

“We are all representatives of Chengde Agricultural College. They are guests who came to Chengde. If we do this, they will think we are ill-mannered and will go back.”

Ji Xiurong whispered to Da Kui. Looking at this female classmate named Ji Xiurong, who could control Da Kui and was a local, he smiled and said:

"This lady must be Ji Xiurong!"

“That’s right!” Da Kui eagerly stepped forward to introduce:
"This is Ji Xiurong. She is a top student at Chengde Agricultural College. She was ranked first in the whole school when she entered the school, and she was still ranked first in the whole school when she graduated!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiurong glared helplessly at Da Kui, then stepped forward and introduced herself:
"Hello everyone, my name is Ji Xiurong, and I graduated from Chengde Agricultural College. I would like to learn from all of you college students."

After Ji Xiurong stepped forward, she introduced herself and then bowed to everyone.

"Director Yu, you're recruiting nationwide, surely you don't need to be short of people, so why are you using those two vocational college graduates to make up the numbers?"

Just as Wu Yansheng was about to make a sarcastic remark, a girl stood up and said:

"This top student from Beijing, perhaps you've come to the wrong place. A distinguished university graduate like yourself should be working in an office in the capital!"

"Instead of going to the most difficult places in the country to satirize passionate young people who are contributing to the country."

"Great!" Upon hearing this, everyone cheered for her words, regardless of where they came from. In fact, everyone disliked Wu Yansheng's arrogant attitude.

Wu Yansheng was about to make a sarcastic remark, but seeing that everyone was supporting the other side, he knew that continuing to target them might lead to his isolation, and he didn't want to lose face with Qin Xuemei, so he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Tang Qi continued loudly, "Hello everyone, my name is Tang Qi, and I also graduated from the local agricultural college in Chengde. I am determined to restore Saihanba to its former glory of two hundred years ago!"

"Clap clap clap~!" Everyone applauded as soon as Tang Qi finished speaking.

After Tang Qi finished her introduction, Yu Zhenglai asked everyone to applaud, and then continued:

“Hey, I remember a college student from Shanghai.”

"Director Yu, it's me. My name is Shen Mengyin. I'm from Shanghai and graduated from Jinling Forestry University with a major in pest and disease control!"

"When I first arrived, there were four classmates, but I don't know why, in the end, I was the only one who came!"

Her pitiful tone immediately amused everyone. Seeing this, Shen Mengyin continued her introduction somewhat shyly:
"This is my first time coming to such a far place, and I don't know anyone here. If I do anything wrong in the future, please give me your criticism and help!"

Shen Mengyin is a true southern girl, with a sweet voice and beautiful appearance. She speaks slowly and deliberately, which makes her petite figure even more endearing.

At this moment, a chubby man with glasses and squinty eyes heard Shen Mengyin's introduction and immediately moved closer.

"Great! I love helping people!" A chubby man with a strong sense of responsibility stood next to Shen Mengyin and said in a perfect Tianjing accent:

"Let me tell you, I graduated from Tianjin Forestry University. Isn't that a coincidence? I also majored in pest and disease control!"

"Back then, there were several classmates who said they would come together, but somehow, I ended up coming alone."

"We're in the same boat, we understand each other, we learn together, we progress together, we criticize each other, and we help each other!"

This kind of "social cow" personality makes one popular everywhere, but not everyone likes it. For example, Shen Mengyin looked at it with some disdain and moved away.

Because the other person's lustful expression was practically written all over their face, Shen Mengyin was a little scared and wanted to get away.

Yu Zhenglai was speechless at the sight. These people claimed to be here to support national construction, but they all looked like they were here to date.

Compared to expert Lin Hao, I felt like I had little confidence in these new college students.

After hearing what the chubby boy had to say, Yu Zhenglai said with a headache, "Hey classmate, you haven't told us your name yet!"

"I was so focused on helping Shen Mengyin that I forgot to mention my own name!" the chubby boy said with an embarrassed laugh.

"My name is Sui Zhichao. Sui is the Sui in the novel Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhi is the ambition in China, and Chao is the surpassing of the past and present!"

As Sui Zhichao spoke, he looked at Shen Mengyin and said, "Well, sister, let me tell you, my dad has given me such an amazing name!"

Shen Mengyin, who was already dissatisfied with Sui Zhichao, frowned and said, "Who is your sister? Am I that old?"

After saying that, Shen Mengyin turned around and took a few steps away from Sui Zhichao.

Sui Zhichao then realized that he seemed to have left a bad impression, so he quickly tried to make amends, saying, "You, you, don't misunderstand!"

"In Tianjin, we call all women 'sister'!"

At this moment, Wu Yansheng saw Sui Zhichao's appearance and said with a smile that he looked like a student from a forestry university who studied crosstalk, and even asked Sui Zhichao to perform a crosstalk routine.

Sui Zhichao clearly didn't see through Wu Yansheng's malice. Instead, he hit a nerve, and Sui actually took out his clappers and started performing on the spot.

Another student is named Yan Xiangli, who is from Sichuan and is a graduate of the Meteorology Department of Southwest Forestry University!
I don't know if her family is well-off, but she must have been quite protected. She's never experienced hardship and seems rather weak and delicate.

Upon arrival, she immediately asked someone to help with the laundry, and Ji Xiurong readily agreed.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Qin Xuemei couldn't wait to ask, "Director Yu, when are we going to the dam?"

"No rush, everyone can rest at the Chengde Mountain Resort for half a month first!"

"Why!" Qin Xuemei immediately said, "Now is the season for planting trees. If we miss the best time, it's like missing a whole year!"

"We should get to the dam as soon as possible and start production immediately!"

Yu Zheng wanted them to rest for a few days, but Qin Xuemei, a workaholic, stopped him.

"That's great!" So he quickly explained:

"Actually, I'm anxious too, but Weichang only recently received the news. We should give them at least two days to prepare!"

Qin Xuemei immediately stated, "We are here to build our motherland, to rely on our own efforts and work hard. We don't need any hospitality!"

"Good, that shows awareness, applause!" After saying that, Yu Zheng thought for a moment and said:

"Everyone, have some time to enjoy yourself at the Chengde Mountain Resort. I'll take you to the dam tomorrow!"

Seeing such enthusiasm for their work, Yu Zheng was naturally pleased and readily agreed to send them to the dam.

After Zhenglai left, the group began to stroll around the Chengde Mountain Resort. It must be said that, as expected of the imperial summer resort, the scenery was indeed more beautiful than other places.

The college students who had just arrived to support Saihanba were divided into several groups. The first group consisted of Tang Qi, Na Daikui, and Ji Xiurong from Chengde Agricultural College.

Because of Tang Qi's outstanding performance, the three of them immediately formed a small group, but because Ji Xiurong disliked Na Da Kui, the three of them soon separated.

On the college student side, they first split into small groups of men and women, and then Wu Yansheng, Sui Zhichao, and Yan Xiangli formed a group.

Qin Xuemei and Mengyue, two of the girls, along with Shen Mengyin, who had just joined, also got together.
