The fact that Qiao Ze had to go on a business trip truly piqued the curiosity of Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang. After all, everyone knew that Qiao Ze was a hobody; under normal circumstances, he really disliked going out, especially at this ti, right before his marriage, his sudden business trip indicated that it must be sothing big.
That statent from Dou Dou added fuel to their overflowing curiosity. Unfortunately, while Dou Dou was soone who couldn't keep her mouth shut, she was also very strict. Not being able to speak ant that questions were also off-limits. After all, the two of them had specifically undergone confidentiality training.
However, neither of them really had the leisure to concern themselves too much with Qiao Ze's affairs, as they were too busy worrying about their own problems.
Especially that evening, close to lights-out ti, Chen Yiwen still hadn't returned to the dorm. A question in WeChat, and the guy actually said he wasn't returning that night, which completely diverted their concern about where Qiao Ze had gone on his business trip.
This world is indeed too much at tis, even a superficial man like Chen Yiwen can spend a night out after a date. Here we have n of substance like ourselves, yet no one pays attention to us, sigh, one can only conclude that this era is too frivolous.
...
Perhaps because the Ze Class only had a two-year program at the undergraduate level, the schedule was packed tight, and the courses were all mandatory with no electives in the freshman year.
Therefore, every class took place in the sa classroom, unlike other departnts where different classes were held in various classrooms.
Except for Thursday afternoons when there were only two political ideology classes, the rest of the ti was cramd full with professional courses, giving Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang a feeling of being back in high school. The only difference probably was that these freshman students didn't need to attend morning or evening self-study sessions.
But it was indeed pitiful.
Having so many classes could take up free ti, and wasting too much ti studying left no chance to experience the joys of college life, let alone dating...
However, as soon as the two of them arrived at the classroom on the schedule, they felt relieved.
Having only ten people in the class wasn't so bad after all, and the male to female ratio remained at 9:1; looks like dating was a slim chance for these two years.
What ward their hearts most was that when they arrived ten minutes early to the classroom, not only had Dou Dou already arrived, but all of their classmates for the next two years were also there in the classroom, a glance at the doorway was all it took to know that no one was absent.
Because even the seating arrangent in the classroom was fixed, with naplates on the desks bearing everyone's nas.
In addition, contrary to what the two expected, the underclassn weren't seriously reading or solving problems. So were chatting, so were scrolling through their phones, and others were wearing headphones, perhaps listening to sothing...
In essence, upon arriving at the classroom door, the classroom discipline they observed seed even less impressive than when they first started classes in the foundation class.
Luckily, as soon as Dou Dou rolled into the classroom first, the group of gifted youths showed respect.
"Quiet, quiet, I'm here today to fulfill a promise. We have two new students today, Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang. Co up and introduce yourselves to everyone," Dou Dou said.
Dou Dou's action once again shocked the two newcors standing below the podium.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't self-introductions be done one by one?
Introducing themselves together, what's up with that? It wasn't supposed to be like this before.
"Applause..."
But before the two could recover, a sowhat enthusiastic round of applause broke out from below.
The volu wasn't loud, even a bit scattered, but considering there were only ten people, it was already quite good.
As the two hesitated, Dou Dou's voice ca again: "No problem, you two have been roommates for so long, you must have a great rapport. Joining Qiao Class starts with believing in yourself, right, classmates?"
"Yes!" This ti the juniors replied in unison, quite neatly.
And so, after exchanging a glance, the two were encouraged by Dou Dou to walk up to the podium together, and indeed, they coordinated very well, speaking fluently with one contributing after the other.
"Hello everyone, my na is Zhang Zhou."
"My na is Gu Zhengliang."
"Both of us are seniors from the 2022 foundational math class, and we also share a dorm room."
"Yes, last year we were fortunate to have been roommates with Professor Qiao for a period."
"It was an unforgettable ti, and under Professor Qiao's encouragent, we joined an academic research project at the university."
"After the project concluded, we hoped for higher challenges, so we strived for this opportunity to join the Qiao Class and learn together with everyone here."
"That's right, we hope to help each other in the future, thank you all."
"Thank you, classmates."
...
After they finished, the applause below was once again heard, noticeably warr this ti. But the pair still felt that the underclassn's gazes bore an indescribable expression. At that mont, Dou Dou had already quickly rolled back to the podium to begin a summary speech.
"Alright, now that everyone is acquainted, you two can go back to your seats. Qiao Class has fixed seating, and each month you're free to switch seats once. How you switch is up to you to discuss. I won't bother saying the usual 'cherish your ti for studying' spiel. But, if your GPA doesn't et the standard, you risk being sent back to the School of Mathematics, mind that.
Okay, I've got to speak to the Ze Class, you guys make yourselves comfortable," said Dou Dou as she left.
Zhang Zhou and Gu Zhengliang also left the podium and quickly found their reserved seats.
The classroom designated for the Qiao Class was small, the layout below was 6X5, making up 30 spots.
The two outermost rows were left unassigned, so only four people sat in each row, making up three rows of twelve people in total.
The two of them were conveniently placed in the middle of the second row, surrounded tightly by talented young lads and lasses.
