On January 3rd, after the New Year's Day holiday, when students from Haiyuan came back to class, they were immediately shocked by the news around them.
"Come and see! There is a drawing classroom in the laboratory building. It has been temporarily renovated and the furniture has been changed. I heard that it will be converted into a computer drawing room!"
"It's the drawing classroom right outside the window facing the testing pool!"
"Is it true? Our college actually has a computer room? When did the school realize its conscience and actually treat our college as its own children?"
"Bullshit! Why did the school find out! Are you behind the times? I heard that it was donated to the hospital by an international student who studied with the sophomore marine engineering class!"
"Damn it! International students are actually so generous. I thought they were all here to take advantage of them. I didn't expect that they actually have international friends. Such students can be regarded as old friends of teachers and students."
For a time, many students who originally had classes in the first period in the morning also quietly skipped class and sneaked into the laboratory to take a look.
Most of them think this way: Anyway, in college classes, attendance is not often called, and the teacher may not necessarily care about the few people missing. Even if he wants to care about it, he can just watch the excitement for a few minutes, and sneak in through the back door when he comes back.
If you are just late, the teacher will not get angry.
These days, students can’t afford mobile phones, so it’s impossible to have a situation like “after knowing the teacher’s roll call, your roommate sends a text message to notify you and then rushes to class”.
So being late means being late. As long as you come last, the teacher will never count you as absent from class.
In the first period of the morning, there were originally two classes of "Structural Mechanics", Class 3/4 of Grade 93, and the teacher was none other than Zhu Mingbo.
Zhu Mingbo walked into the classroom at eight o'clock sharp with his lesson plan under his arm, and saw a scene that made him very angry.
There are only seven or eight classmates in the classroom.
He didn't know that among the seven or eight people, six were from Gu Kun's dormitory.
"Are you kidding! What kind of learning attitude is this! Don't you know you are going to class? Roll call!" Zhu Mingbo was so angry that he even took the time to glance at Gu Kun in the crowd. He
There was no need to be polite. With a wave of the pointer, he directly called his name.
"10 points will be deducted from the final comprehensive score for all items not received today!"
Gu Kun spent five to six thousand yuan on tuition fees in the past few months while he was here, which was twice as much as his salary in the past few months, so Zhu Mingbo still didn't want to embarrass Gu Kun. And since Gu Kun
Now, there is no psychological pressure to show off to other students.
"Huang Han!" "Arrived"
"Zhou Yaoguang!" "Arrived"
"Gu Kun!" "Arrived"
"..."
Two minutes later, all the names were read out. Zhu Mingbo sneered and got angry: "Okay, a total of 48 people from the two classes didn't come! Only 8 came!"
Seeing that his classmates were about to suffer, Gu Kun felt a little sorry.
After all, he was the one who made the big news, causing everyone to watch. If the whole class plus the class next door were deducted 10 points, it would be a bit of a big deal.
So he raised his hand to complain: "Teacher Zhu, most of the people are actually here. They blame me for this. I donated 30 graphics computers to the hospital, and the hospital temporarily set up a computer room on weekends. They are all here."
Go outside and watch the excitement, you should be back in a few minutes."
This was the first time Zhu Mingbo heard the news, and his jaw dropped in shock.
Damn, a student in my class actually donated 500,000 worth of things to the college easily.
He suddenly felt that the five or six thousand tuition fees he had earned so hard were no longer so valuable.
However, he also knew what Gu Kun meant when he spoke, so he took advantage of the situation: "Since it was Gu Kun who explained to them that it was him who did good deeds that caused everyone to watch, then I'll just be a little more generous - let's do this, class won't be over for a while. It’s time to take a break. I’ve stayed in get out of class for 20 minutes. It’s now 8:05. We will officially start class again at 8:20. Anyone who hasn’t arrived by then will be considered absent from class!”
As he said that, he waved his hand: "You should arrange your own self-study first! If you want to see it, you can go too!"
With that said, Zhu Mingbo couldn't help himself and followed the students.
When he walked to the third floor of the laboratory building next door, he was startled by the scene there. The entire corridor on the third floor of the laboratory building was packed with people watching. There were probably three courses and about a hundred students.
.
At the beginning of 1995, it was very rare for students to have computers to use when studying. Only a few years ago, computers were still a thing in scientific research institutes, and you needed to apply for machine hours.
As for the first Internet cafe in Hujiang City, it will take another 18 months to open. And historically, when it first opened in the second half of 1996, the Internet fee was as high as 20 yuan an hour. It only fell below 10 yuan around 1998.
piece.
In other words, going to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet at that time was a very high-end lifestyle. It cost more to rent a machine for one hour than to rent a KTV box for one hour.
"You're not allowed to go in! You're not allowed to go in! The dean said that you need to do additional anti-static monitoring on the floor before you can enter! Also, you will have to wear shoe covers in the future. You have to buy a pair of shoe covers and wash them yourself.
Xu goes into the computer room for classes and exams!"
While Zhu Mingbo was watching from a distance, he heard people from the security office in front dispersing the crowd while preaching about future discipline, which was really impressive.
Most of the students only watched it for a few minutes, and they naturally gave up after they couldn't see any clues.
In addition, Zhu Mingbo and two other teachers who came to the same destination by different routes came to inspect because they found too many people skipping classes in the classroom. Therefore, the students in the class dispersed within two minutes, leaving only twenty or thirty students in the corridor without classes.
students are still watching.
Zhu Mingbo was able to squeeze to the door and peeked in through the glass.
"It's so grand. It's like a dust-free laboratory of a foreign-funded enterprise. I guess you'll have to wear a white coat when entering from now on. Oh, in just one weekend, even the air conditioner was installed?"
The moment he saw the air conditioner, he really sighed.
No one can afford air conditioning, but the computer room must have air conditioning.
He had previously seen the small computer rooms provided by the hospital for its affiliated research institutes/design offices, which contained just a few computers and were used by senior designers. Those rooms were all air-conditioned, and the reason was "to ensure that the computer rooms
Constant temperature to ensure good heat dissipation of the computer."
"It's great. The learning conditions for today's students are getting better and better." Zhu Mingbo sighed repeatedly and reluctantly went back to class.
…
After this incident, Gu Kun was completely registered in front of the college leaders.
After the structural mechanics class ended, he was called to the dean's office.
"Dean, are you looking for me?" Gu Kun knocked on the door and went in, saying hello politely.
The dean nodded: "Xiao Gu, on behalf of Haiyuan, I would like to thank you for your donation from international friends. Regarding your suggestion of adding electronic teaching to drawing courses for future students, as well as optional electronic examinations, we rushed to discuss it yesterday.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was indeed beneficial, so I made the arrangement."
Gu Kun's original intention of donating the computer was actually to exchange personal favors, and also to make it easier for him to learn some subsequent courses and to waste less learning energy on outdated skills that are behind the times.
With such a promise from the dean, his second goal has been achieved.
"Dean, I believe that your decision is something that all the students in the college will be happy to see." Gu Kun politely complimented you.
The dean continued to smile broadly: "I've also heard that you have close cooperation with the school's Design Institute and COSCO for mutual benefit and win-win results, so you repay your alma mater and repay the society.
I am very gratified to have an outstanding student like you in our institute who can apply what he has learned. In view of your contribution, we will also try our best to promote more cooperation opportunities and hope that you can achieve greater win-win results."
Gu Kun humbly expressed that he would continue to carry it forward.
At the end, the dean said hello to him: "By the way, in the afternoon, or tomorrow, Vice President Jiang, who is in charge of international relations in several of our colleges and the Department of International Trade, may come to talk to you in person. Please be mentally prepared. .Vice President Jiang is also in charge of the school’s foreign affairs work and international student work.”
Gu Kun: "What issue is it probably about?"
Dean: "It should be about the work of international students."
Gu Kun said he knew what to say.
After leaving the dean's office, he went back to class and had lunch with his roommates.
In the afternoon, Vice Principal Jiang sent someone to inform Gu Kun to go to the office.
The person who came was Tang Jia, whom Gu Kun was relatively familiar with. There was no way, this kind of thing was done by people from the Student Union's External Relations Department.
Tang Jia asked while leading the way: "Student Gu, I heard that you have done great good deeds. After Principal Jiang finishes talking to you later, can you take some time to accept our interview? The school leader has ordered that your deeds should at least be As for the colonel newspaper, if possible, we will also contact the media in society to publicize it for you."
Gu Kun quickly expressed his position: "Don't do it, the school newspaper is enough. This kind of thing of giving things away may be spread to the society as a trend and sensationalism, and it has changed its taste."
Gu Kun's original intention of giving things was to make people in his circle think of him well, and it had nothing to do with people in society.
Within a few minutes, Tang Jia led him into the principal's office.
Principal Jiang was in his fifties and actually looked quite upright. He was one of the few school leaders Gu Kun had ever seen who had a good appearance.
Maybe it's because, no matter where they are, those in charge of diplomatic work must be handsome.
When they met, Principal Jiang naturally had to say a few words of thanks and encouragement, which were similar to what the dean said. Gu Kun was used to hearing them, so there was no need to repeat them.
After setting the stage, Principal Jiang made a request: "Xiao Gu, after what happened to you, we also noticed a blind spot in our original foreign-related work and international student work.
In recent years, as the standards for university comprehensive strength evaluation and ranking have been aligned with international standards, the degree of internationalization of a university has become one of the most important assessments. We are also trying our best to attract more international students.
However, in the past few years, we did not focus on Southeast Asian countries, and the quality of the students we recruited was not satisfactory. If we had known that the quality of students in Lanzhou was so excellent, and you did not value the school's material subsidies, we should have done so as soon as possible Adjusted.”
Gu Kun listened patiently and had a bad feeling. He couldn't help but interrupt: "Principal Jiang, what do you want me to do?"
"Happy," Principal Jiang said without being polite, "I just hope that you can use your social influence in Lanzhou and perhaps Malay to publicize and encourage more high-quality students to come to study with us. In return,
, we can delegate some of the preliminary screening judgment rights to you, but of course, the final entrance examination still needs to be organized by the school."
Gu Kun refused without even thinking about it: "I'm sorry, Principal Jiang, your information may be wrong. We don't have a university in Lanfang and only one high school. Our basic education system is not for further education at all.
Designed for further study at university. I'm afraid I can't bear the heavy burden you have given me.
If you just want me to introduce the source of international students, unless the country is not limited, I can find a way from other countries. Of course, if you think the quality is not good, you can always stop giving me face."
