Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 84 84. Competitors
Dong Qiangqiang gently opened the door and walked in.What caught my eye was the eight long and large square tables neatly placed in the room, surrounded by a group of foreign students who were sitting or standing, talking in a low voice, or looking around like him.He made a rough count and estimated that there could be more than 50 people in the room, which surprised him a bit.And while he was counting, someone still came in from outside the door.

The multi-functional room seems to be between [-] and [-] square meters. Dark green curtains are hung on three sides. Through the gap between the curtains, you can see the white floor-to-ceiling windows behind.On the only white wall hangs a large banner with white letters on a red background: Hannover University warmly welcomes new students!
"Hello!" A girl with glasses took the initiative to greet Dong Qiangqiang, "Are you here for the orientation party?"

Dong Qiangqiang responded quickly, "Yes."

"Please sign here." The girl said as she pushed a form and a pen in front of him.

Dong Qiangqiang picked up the pen to sign, and the girl asked again, "Are you only participating in the exchange or will you also participate in the dinner later?"

"Well, I should all participate." Dong Qiangqiang was about to put down his pen when the girl continued.

"Then you tick here," the girl said, pointing to a spot on the form. "Please pay 8 marks for the dinner. Thank you."

"Why do you have to pay?" Dong Qiangqiang questioned, "Lu Wei said it was free."

The girl put down her glasses: "The exchange is free, because this is the university's house, so there is no cost to rent the venue. In addition, the venue layout and labor costs of this event are also borne by the student union, and they will not be charged to everyone. But dinner The food is purchased from outside, so the cost is also made by everyone. However, the dinner is voluntary, and you can only participate in the exchange.”

The other party's argument was justified, and Dong Qiangqiang also made sense when he thought about it, so he readily paid and got a meal ticket with his name on it. He took the meal ticket and walked towards the corner that seemed less crowded.

It's past 18:30, but the communication hasn't started yet.Dong Qiangqiang saw Ding Yan in the crowd. She was discussing something with another girl. He also saw Wu Xiaoxi's ex-boyfriend Chen Dahu. He was coaxing his girlfriend who seemed to be angry. Dong Qiangqiang looked around for a while. But he didn't see Lu Wei's shadow in the crowd.

Just as he continued to look for anyone else he knew, there was a howling sound from a microphone, followed by a deep male voice: "Please pay attention, the orientation meeting will start in 3 minutes. Students who have seats, please hurry up." Sit well, students who just came in can sit or stand against the wall as soon as possible, thank you for your cooperation."

There was a small commotion in the crowd, and Dong Qiangqiang also chose a good position for himself. If the communication was boring, he could hide out and smoke a cigarette.

The lights in the room dimmed suddenly, and only the lights on the banner remained on.A male host in a white suit and a dark blue bow tie leaped onto the small stage with a vigorous posture, and walked a few steps to the microphone.

"Dear classmates, everyone, good evening~ Good morning!" The male host smiled and pulled a long tail.

The applause sounded sparsely, and Dong Qiangqiang also drummed twice, listening to his next speech with great interest.

"I am Li Junfeng, the host of the orientation meeting. Tonight, students and brothers and sisters from all over the world gathered here happily. I believe that for every student who is going abroad for the first time, the current mood is both excited and nervous: I'm excited to finally be able to see with my own eyes what an old capitalist country looks like, of course, the Germans will definitely not admit that they are capitalist countries..." A slight laugh broke out from the crowd, and Li Junfeng changed the topic. "But people who have gone abroad actually know in their hearts that we have only just taken the first step of the Long March, and what we have to face next is the real test."

Li Junfeng looked at the audience and paced from the left to the right of the small stage while talking. The crowd was silent, and everyone was waiting for his next speech: "Some of you here have just flown in from China, and some are already here. After working hard for a period of time, as long as they do not graduate, each student will still have all kinds of confusion. For example, new students may be concerned about how to successfully carry out their studies in the university? How to certify the courses that have been taken in China How to choose a major that suits you? How to correctly choose different teachers for the same major? And students who have entered the advanced course may focus on how to find an internship during the vacation? How to pass all major exams? How to write a graduation thesis at the same time Get a high score? How can I find a more affordable job and stay in Germany after graduation? I believe that everyone must be more or less confused about the above-mentioned questions. So tonight, we specially invited some people who have passed the professional course exam. My classmates and those who are writing their graduation thesis will share with you. Now, please welcome the first sharer - Duanmu Xinghao with warm applause."

Dong Qiangqiang was taken aback: Japanese?
Amidst the scattered applause, a tall, fat boy wearing black-rimmed glasses walked slowly onto the stage, stood nervously in front of the microphone, his hands hung down for a while and clasped together again, trembling voices. Said: "Da, hello everyone, my name is Duanmu Xinghao, Ying, majoring in applied mathematics, currently in the 8th semester. I have just passed all the exams, and I am currently preparing for my graduation thesis. What I want to share with you is How to enter the stage of advanced courses as soon as possible. Although each of us chooses different majors, there are some pits that are actually the same. For example, in the primary course stage, many students like to choose..."

I don't know whether it's because of nervousness or stuttering, but Duanmu stuttered a little in his opening remarks.He spoke very slowly, and 10 minutes had passed, and it seemed that he hadn't gotten to the point yet.The host signaled to him offstage to control the speaking time, but Duanmu was sweating profusely and didn't notice the host's reminder at all.He spoke for another 5 minutes, and the host jumped onto the stage, handed him a bottle of water, and took the microphone from him naturally.

"Thanks to Duanmu for his wonderful speech. Due to time constraints, there are several sharers behind us waiting to communicate with you. If you are interested in Duanmu's speech, you can communicate separately in the free communication time later."

Duanmu walked off the stage slowly, the speech seemed to consume a lot of his physical strength.There was no movement under the stage, and everyone was watching him silently.

Suddenly, there was applause from a corner of the room. The applause was very hard. After a few seconds, more applause sounded one after another.

The girl who came on stage behind Duanmu had obviously been reminded. Her outline of the speech was concise and to the point. She walked off the stage before 6 minutes.

The following sharers are more refined and concise, but they have received more and more applause.

By the time the last sharer finished speaking, it was already 19:20.

Li Junfeng stepped onto the stage again, and before he could speak, a young male voice rang out from the crowd: "When will dinner be served? I'm starving to death."

Like a match thrown into an oil barrel, more emotions are ignited.

Li Junfeng wanted to show off his eloquence again, but he responded quickly and changed his words quickly: "After listening to so many wonderful content in one breath, do you feel that you are still unfinished? Don't worry, we have specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, you can enjoy it. Eat and chat. Now I announce that dinner has officially started."

Just as he raised his arms, a group of waiters in white shirts and brown vests brought plates of home-cooked dishes to the long table.Students who are standing against the wall can choose to join the table or receive a set meal.

Dong Qiangqiang quickly wrote what he had just heard and found valuable in his notebook. When he finished writing, the long table was already crowded with people.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to eat together with other people. He asked for a lunch box with two meat and two vegetarian dishes. The menu stated that there were two chicken wings, one Kung Pao chicken, one vegetarian fried shredded potato, and one vegetarian meal. Fried Chinese cabbage, plus a bowl of egg drop soup.When he opened the lid of the lunch box, he saw two thin and small chicken wings. Kung Pao Chicken had more chopped green onion than chicken, and more peanuts than chopped green onion. It seemed more appropriate to call it Kung Pao Peanuts.Dong Qiangqiang sighed, and stood in the corner with his lunch in his hand, eating silently.

Before he could finish eating Kung Pao peanuts, Li Junfeng's magnetic baritone sounded again beside his ears.

"Maybe the new students don't know much about it. The old president of our student union has successfully completed his defense at the beginning of this year and won an enviable golden-collar job. Here we congratulate him on his achievements, and also congratulate him on his achievements. He thanked him for all his contributions to the student union in the past." Li Junfeng rolled his eyes, "But as the old saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be without a leader. According to the regulations of the student union, we plan to re-elect the new president of the student union in June. . So taking this opportunity today, we will introduce the candidate for the student union president to everyone. Everyone applauds. "

Before he finished speaking, someone stood up from the table, turned their heads and walked out.

And most people didn't answer him, because they were busy eating, so they didn't have time to applaud.But Li Junfeng didn't seem to care about the cold field. He took the lead in calling for a hello, then slapped a few times and invited the first candidate.

The first candidate to take the stage was a girl who shared her successful experience just now. It can be seen that she came prepared.As soon as she came up, she showed her campaign ideas and various data straight to the point: she planned to organize study teams according to subjects, and shared her study experience and notes every week, so that those who passed the test first would lead those who did not pass the test, thereby To achieve all the successful pass the exam.She has used this method to help two girls pass the basic course exam, so she is confident to help more classmates.

Everyone had food in their mouths, and no one coaxed or applauded.The female candidate shouted a few more slogans. Seeing no one applauded, she could only walk down the stage embarrassingly.

Dong Qiangqiang was thinking about her words when a female voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Dong Qiangqiang."
