Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 140 Arrange a military flight for me!

Zhai Da was inside, listening to the chaos outside, and felt extremely annoyed.

Just now, Yu Xiaoli called again using her colleague's phone, saying that she was also blocked there. A teacher claimed to be from Fudan University, probably thinking that he couldn't compete with Tsinghua and Peking University in Zhaida's area, so he took a roundabout route and went to his hometown.

Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli had already discussed it last night. Yu Xiaoli naturally wouldn't agree to anything, but she was also too preoccupied with work and was on her way back.

They were escorted back by people from Fudan University.

Yu Xiaoli: "Didn't you say that the top scorers all know in advance? Last night I comforted you and said it didn't matter if you weren't the top scorer. Why are they all coming out at the same time today?"

Zhai Da: "How was I supposed to know? These guys are so out of touch. If they had known earlier that Lu Wei and I were the top scorers, they could have been prepared. Now they've blocked the door."

"What's the use of knowing this already? If only we had known, we wouldn't have been blocked sooner."

What you said makes a lot of sense.

Outside the door, Principal Wang, whom I had met once at the mobilization meeting, shouted the loudest: "Zhai Da, no matter which university you go to, let me in first!"

If we don't go in and check each other's statements now, it will be too late!

Zhai Da looked at Lu Wei and thought it made sense. Since she was fortunate enough to become the top scorer, she should strive for what she could. So he told the people outside not to push and let Principal Wang and the Dean of Students in.

Principal Wang also consciously blocked the way behind him, closing the door faster than anyone else.

What I'm about to say must not be overheard by outsiders.

Upon seeing Lu Wei, he whispered, "Lu! I remember you!"

Zhai Da: "Principal, there's no need to speak so softly; people outside can't hear you."

“Sorry, sorry.”

"Time is of the essence, and we're all sensible people, so why don't you just tell me your needs?"

Principal Wang was prepared and explained it clearly in a few words: Lu Wei was a repeat student from the wool textile school, but due to health reasons, she mostly studied at home and rarely appeared in public. As a result, a teacher in charge of her missed her when compiling data, and it was only discovered before the college entrance examination that she had forgotten to register for the exam as a group.

With a responsible attitude towards the students, the school attached great importance to the matter, took urgent action, and adapted to local conditions, leading to the second path of self-enrollment and self-study. However, Lu Wei was indeed a repeat student from the wool textile school.

Zhai Da thought to himself, "Why don't you become the principal?"

Without Zhai Daduo saying anything, Principal Wang himself filled in the "conditions": both students from the wool textile school achieved excellent results. The school had originally discussed in a meeting that if Zhai Daduo became the top scholar, he would be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, and if he didn't, he would still be rewarded with 20,000 yuan for such a high score. Now that they are both top scholars, each of them should receive 50,000 yuan.

However, considering Lu's family's financial difficulties, the award was changed to 80,000 yuan per person as encouragement.

Principal Wang said, "Student Zhai doesn't need to do anything, just provide a consistent story, and we'll figure out the rest ourselves."

Regarding Lu Wei's matter, although Shen Rui was the most dedicated, constantly tracking and paying attention, and even introducing her to a job, the school also made certain efforts at the time and did not owe anything, that's the truth.

Back then, Lu Wei was just a student who scored 600 points in one subject but was weak in another. Her highest honor was only making a name for herself in a city-level competition, which is completely different from what she is now.

With limited energy and capabilities, county-level general high schools cannot solve all problems.

Zhai Da shook his head: "Let's try a different approach."

Principal Wang's heart skipped a beat. He was in a dilemma no matter how much bonus he received, since the wool textile school wasn't exactly a prestigious university.

"Or... how about 88,000 for good luck?"

Zhai Daxin said, "This is a reward, not a sales pitch. And you're just trying to bring good luck."
Looking back at the locked door, Lu Wei slipped inside; she felt uncomfortable with so many people around.

Zhai Da said, "My family isn't struggling financially, but Lu Wei's family is. If you're willing to add extra, give it all to her."

Principal Wang thought to himself, "Are there really people with such noble character?"

"and you."

"I?"

Zhai Da smiled confidently and said, "If I need money, I'll earn it myself."

Besides, I don't lack anything.

It would be better to let Xiao Mutou have more personal wealth, so that he won't have to find excuses to transfer money from one hand to the other in the future.

Just as the two reached an "agreement," the door was banged on again, and it seemed that another group of people had arrived outside.

"Student Zhai! We are admissions officers from Nanjing University, and we've brought your homeroom teacher with us. Please open the door and let's talk."

Zhai Da was puzzled for a moment, wondering if Ding Rong had also been called in?
It seems she really did graduate from Nanjing University. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married so well.
But ultimately, it wasn't the university he chose.

Principal Wang, relieved that he had accomplished such a significant task, asked Zhai Da curiously, seeing that he remained unmoved, "Zhai, which school do you truly favor?"

If Zhai Da weren't the top scorer, he would naturally have hoped that Zhai Da would choose Tsinghua or Peking University, as it would be a great honor to have a notice posted at the entrance. But now that Zhai Da is the top scorer, this honor far surpasses the honor of having a student from Tsinghua or Peking University, so it no longer matters where Zhai Da chooses.

Zhai Da sighed, "Me? Lu Wei and I both plan to go."

Harbin Institute of Technology.

The top of the seven national defense universities, a member of the 985, 211, Double First-Class, and C9 League universities.
In a once-desolate old industrial area, the birthplace of the Republic's heavy industry, lies the only top-tier university that can boast of its own.

It ranks among the top in many fields such as aerospace, aviation, machinery, engineering, communications, electronics, computers, and mathematics.

Some were number one, some weren't, but they were still very strong. It was the only university in the world with the capability to launch rockets and satellites, and later it was rumored to have nuclear strike capability.
According to the 08 new regulations, if the admission score for Tsinghua and Peking Universities is 415, then Harbin Institute of Technology's is around 400. Of course, the most important thing is...
This is the university that Yu Lihua was admitted to but didn't attend.

Back to last night.

On the sofa, Zhai Da asked, "Mom, Grandpa was admitted to university, but he didn't end up going and was sent to the Northwest. Which university was it?"

When Zhai Da asked this question, Yu Xiaoli was also in a daze. It was a long, long time ago, even before she was born.

"Your maternal grandfather got into Harbin Institute of Technology."

Yu Xiaoli propped her head up and watched TV, but her thoughts were already wandering.

That slender, tall figure is a distant memory for her. She herself has gone from a clueless child to a wife, a mother, and finally watched her child go to university.

“You know your grandfather was transferred from there. He was not used to the climate or the soil here. In the 1950s and 60s, Harbin was one of the most prosperous cities in the country, while Dongyang County was basically a poor and remote place in comparison.”

"You can imagine how tempting the opportunity to go back to university was for your grandfather back then."

"It not only represents the identity of a college student, but also means being able to return home and having better opportunities. But if that's the case, then neither of us will exist."

Zhai Da nodded in deep agreement.

He was admitted to university in his early thirties, spent seven years in the Northwest, and returned to his original unit when he was nearly forty. He then gave up the idea of ​​going back and settled down in Dongyang County.

Thinking of those notebooks, Yu Xiaoli said, "These things happened before I was born, but I suspect he still has some regrets about them."

"Why do you ask?"

Zhai Da pondered for a moment.

"Am I planning to apply to Harbin Institute of Technology?"

Back to the present, Zhai Da is still being blocked at his doorstep.

She was pleasantly surprised to win the top score in the college entrance exam. What happened next was also quite unexpected. There were already four groups of people at the entrance, while Fudan University was guarding Yu Xiaoli, making them the fifth group.

But to be honest, he probably won't be able to wait for the people from Harbin Institute of Technology to come.

Because it's really not their place to get involved in the competition for top scorers. To put it bluntly, even the top scorers from the three northeastern provinces rarely choose Harbin Institute of Technology.

Tsinghua University and Peking University have the best reputation, the best resources, the best alumni associations, and the best opportunities to study abroad.

In this era, the "reputation gap" between Harbin Institute of Technology and Tsinghua and Peking Universities is much greater than it would be in later generations.

They probably never imagined that the top scorer would choose them as his first choice.

Zhai Da asked Principal Wang to sit down for a moment, then turned on his computer, checked the official website of Harbin Institute of Technology, and found a phone number.

If you're not the top scorer, you can just quietly apply for the exam yourself.

But now, he hopes to secure as many conditions as possible.

It's not a bonus.

Rather, they are some training programs, some things that will have a deeper impact on the future.

He found that Harbin Institute of Technology has been trying to implement a new model in the past two years.

It's called "one policy for one lifetime".

He wanted to have a proper talk face-to-face.

So Zhai Da took out his phone and dialed the admissions office number on the webpage.

----------

Nearly two thousand kilometers away, at Harbin Institute of Technology, in the main building.

The old-fashioned telephone rang.
A dozen minutes later, a figure rushed out.

"Quick, book me a flight to Dongyang County! No, I mean Qianshi!"

"Director, there is no airport in Qian City."

"I want to go to Lian City! I'll buy a plane ticket to Lian City!"

"Uh, even the city doesn't have an airport."

Where the hell is this place?!
What is the nearest airport?

"Tickets for Nanjing won't be available until tomorrow morning."

"."

Tomorrow? Tomorrow, our top scorer will be completely devoured by those Tsinghua and Peking University students!
"Damn it! A living person can die from holding in their pee!"

"I'm going to find the principal! I'll ask him to help arrange military flights!"
