Professor Yan was wearing a formal suit and black-rimmed glasses. He walked into the classroom with a steady gait with a book under his arm.
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at Professor Yan closely.
Professor Yan put down his book, glanced at everyone, and showed a rare smile.
"Dear students, I believe you have all heard about the Biology Exchange Conference. Today we will not give lectures. We will use this class time to select three students to go to Kyoto to participate in the exchange conference!"
Hua Hua Hua...
The students applauded excitedly.
Professor Yan stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Among these three places, I have already reserved one place, and the remaining two places are up to everyone to choose."
Has it been decided?
Everyone was surprised. This kind of thing had never happened before, and it was not very honorable to talk about the unofficial quota.
After all, everyone would suspect that there was a behind-the-scenes operation.
"Who is this unofficial candidate? Is it Liu Shuhao? This is the top student in our college!"
"No, although Liu Shuhao is a top student, he is not proficient in biology. I think he is probably a relative of someone high-ranking!"
"Is it Zhao Qiang? I heard that the vice president is his uncle!"
"This is very possible!"
"Hmph, these days, connections can be extended to the academy. It's so dark!"
"I don't think Professor Yan is such a person who is afraid of power. Let's not make wild guesses before the reserved quota is announced."
A relatively sensible female classmate said seriously.
Only then did everyone calm down.
Professor Yan began to speak again: "Everyone, in order to prevent everyone from making random choices, I have prepared a list here. There are ten people on the list. Just choose two of them."
Hearing this, all the students were excited again and wanted to be on that list.
Professor Yan turned around, picked up the chalk and said: "Now, I will write the names of these ten people on the blackboard. Everyone will vote. The person with the most votes will be the member of this exchange meeting."
Next, Professor Yan wrote the names of ten people on the blackboard.
When Professor Yan finished writing the last person's name, Zhao Haiqing suddenly became anxious: "No, why is there no Lao Qin?"
"That's right, Lao Qin is so powerful, but he is not there! Could it be that the person chosen by default is Lao Qin?" Song Shuhao said whimsically.
Zhao Haiqing shook his head: "That shouldn't be the case. The people appointed are usually those with certain connections. Lao Qin has no such connections!"
Although Song Shuhao was unwilling to accept it, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay, I admit your point of view, although it is very uncomfortable!"
On the podium, Professor Yan said: "Everyone, be quiet. Now find a small piece of paper, write the names of two people, and put it in the cardboard box on the podium!"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, tore off a piece of white paper and wrote two names.
Qin Fan also casually wrote the names of two people, even though he didn't know these two classmates at all.
After everyone put the slips of paper into the box, Professor Yan began to read out the votes.
In the end, among the ten names, a boy named Wang Yongqiang and a girl named Feng Chengcheng won with an overwhelming number of votes.
These two people are both the best students in biology and deserve their reputation. No one has any objection to this result.
Finally, everyone held their breath because the unofficial quota was about to be announced.
All the students present were curious about who could become the designated contestant.
Professor Yan did not hesitate and announced directly: "Okay, these two students have been selected. Now I will announce the student who has been selected."
"He is...Classmate Qin Fan!"
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
After a moment, there was an uproar!
"How could it be him?"
"How could he be a freshman, how could he be appointed?"
"Even if he performed a unique skill in Professor Yan's class last time, he is going to Kyoto to compete with those top colleges. How can he do it without a certain knowledge reserve!"
"This kid doesn't know any big shots, does he? He forced Professor Yan to appoint him!"
Everyone expressed doubts about this result, and some extreme people even questioned it loudly on the spot.
Zhao Haiqing and Song Shuhao stared at Qin Fan excitedly: "Old Qin, it's really you!"
"Haha, you can do it!"
"Congratulations!"
Qin Fan was slightly stunned, a little helpless at the result. He did not want to participate in this exchange meeting.
Professor Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Classmate Qin Fan, your words last time benefited me a lot and broadened my thinking."
"Life science, since it is a science that studies life, then studying its own evolution is also a part of life science. It cannot be abandoned savagely just because it has not been seen before and there is no precedent."
"So I hope you can participate in this exchange meeting, and then tell them your ideas in front of the top biologists in the country, and strive to make the scope of life sciences more inclusive."
After hearing Professor Yan's words, everyone immediately understood that this unofficial quota had nothing to do with the senior management of the college, and should have been chosen by Professor Yan himself.
Now some people were very dissatisfied, but no one wanted to stand out.
At this time, Du Wenbin kicked Zhang Ziqiang in the front row.
Zhang Ziqiang immediately stood up and said hesitantly: "Professor Yan, I object!"
Professor Yan seemed to have known for a long time that there would be objections. He turned to look at Zhang Ziqiang and asked calmly: "Tell me the reasons for your objections!"
Zhang Ziqiang thought to himself that this is not what I want to object to...
He turned around and glanced at Du Wenbin, who was glaring at him with a resentful look, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Qin Fan is just a freshman, how can he take on such a big responsibility? At the very least, we need to find someone knowledgeable.
Senior class!"
As soon as Zhang Ziqiang opened his mouth, the unconvinced classmates immediately responded.
"Yes, Professor Yan, how can a new student represent our college to participate in such a grand exchange meeting!"
"Professor, don't think that just because he performs well for a while, you think he can take on this important responsibility. It's better to choose a top academic!"
"I think Senior Du Wenbin is good. Not only is he the president of the literary club, but his grades are also among the top ten in our college. Only such a top student can take on such an important responsibility!"
Looking at the people expressing their opinions, Professor Yan smiled and said nothing, looking confident.
However, Zhao Haiqing and Song Shuhao were furious.
Zhao Haiqing cursed: "Bah, this despicable Du Wenbin, why doesn't he stand up and recommend himself? He encourages others to speak for him, while he hides behind and enjoys the success!"
"Old Qin, he is targeting you!"
Qin Fan shook his head and chuckled: "Let him do whatever he wants. I don't want to go anyway. What he did is just what I want."
"You...sigh!" Zhao Haiqing said with a look of hatred on his face: "Look at these people, breaking their heads to fight for this spot, but you don't want it. If they find out, you will be angry and vomit blood!"
When everyone's voices gradually became quieter, Professor Yan finally spoke: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet!"
"You said that Qin Fan is a new student and has no knowledge, so he is not qualified to take on such a big responsibility!"
"Then I have to ask you, is the person who tops the national examination qualified to take on a big responsibility?"
