Chapter 488 The Passion of Youth
Meng Chenliang raised his hands and pressed them down, and the scene suddenly became quiet again.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Meng Chenliang said directly: "Now, I declare that the four-school exchange meeting is now open!"
"Please ask the event director to start organizing according to the established project."
After saying these two sentences, Meng Chenliang took a step back and handed the microphone in his hand directly to the commander-in-chief who was waiting next to him.
Such conciseness and refinement once again won the favor of teachers and students throughout the school.
After another round of applause.
The event's general director stepped onto the podium and began to arrange the various competition events.
Later, Qian Yaowen felt a little sad when he saw Meng Chenliang’s simple speech.
"Old Meng is still so anxious. As the organizer, he didn't even give an opening speech to boost the morale of his students." Qian Yaowen said to the other two with a smile.
"Haha... I don't think you dislike Lao Meng's short speech, but rather envy him. After all, even if it's your turn at Peking University or Tsinghua University next year, you won't be the one giving the opening speech. Haha..."
It is said that one should not expose people's weaknesses, but President Zheng of the National University did not care about Qian Yaowen's face at all and poked Qian Yaowen's most vulnerable spot on the spot.
Sure enough, as soon as Principal Zheng said this, Qian Yaowen's face suddenly turned dark.
Although he holds a high position in Peking University and Tsinghua University, he is not the president.
At the four-school exchange conference, only the principal is qualified to give the opening speech. Qian Yaowen is afraid that there is no hope in his life.
"You are so good, Old Zheng. You always hurt people with your words. We have known each other for so many years, but you don't even give me any face." Qian Yaowen said with a dark face.
"Haha..." Principal Zheng continued laughing.
President Xia of Aurora University also laughed.
"Speaking of saving face, last year at National University, you guys at Tsinghua and Peking University didn't give Old Zheng any face at all. In the debate competition, you directly struck out National University."
Principal Xia deliberately brought up what happened last year, which seemed a bit provocative in the current atmosphere.
"Haha... A debate competition is all about logic, expression, and intelligent reasoning. How can you blame me if the students themselves are not capable?" Qian Yaowen said proudly when talking about last year's results.
Last year at the exchange meeting of national universities, the debate teams from Peking University and Tsinghua University won three games in a row and took first place in an invincible manner.
This is real strength.
"Come on, I remember that the judge from your school was nitpicking and deducted points from the second debater on the pretext that he was not good at speaking Mandarin and dialect." Principal Xia continued to add fuel to the fire.
"this one..."
Qian Yaowen was speechless after being criticized.
I can't argue directly, so I can only resort to some perverse reasoning: "The country is vigorously promoting Mandarin, and as educators, we should lead by example."
"Hmph! Our National University will not suffer such a loss again this time!" Principal Zheng snorted and said.
While the three of them were talking, Meng Chenliang had already walked back.
"Three of you, let the students handle the competition themselves. We old guys haven't seen each other for a long time. Come to my office, have a cup of tea, and have a good chat..." Meng Chenliang invited the three of them.
"Since we are in your territory, I will naturally follow your arrangements." Principal Xia said with a smile.
"please..."
With the departure of the four principals, the competitions in the stadium officially began.
There was no review ceremony like in a sports meet. This exchange meeting among the four schools was simply a simple and rough competition.
The first event of the competition was the men's 4x4 relay race among four schools.
The four universities all have their own sports departments, and sports competitions have always been one of the most popular parts of the exchange meetings.
Lu Ye sat on the stairs of the stands, listening to the announcement from the loudspeaker behind him.
He whispered to Su Mengyao, "Is this an exchange meeting or a sports meet? The first event is the men's four-by-four, which is really exciting."
"They say there's no first in literature and no second in martial arts, but the most competitive people are those with cultural backgrounds. Otherwise, how do you think this four-school exchange meeting would come about?"
Su Mengyao smiled and explained to Lu Ye, "Actually, among our four universities, no one is willing to give in to the other privately. There's competition between students and teachers."
"The leaders of the four schools should also allow for competition. After all, competition leads to progress. It's said that the four-school exchange meeting was proposed by the Minister of Education."
Lu Ye nodded upon hearing this.
There is no first in literature, and the same is true among universities. Only by increasing competition can we promote the development of academia.
Below, on the runway.
The referees and staff of the competition are already in place.
The contestants from the four schools also arrived at their respective designated locations.
The first runners are getting ready at the starting line.
As the starter's whistle sounded.
The four athletes in the first leg squatted down and began to accumulate strength.
"Look, it's about to start!" Su Mengyao shouted with anticipation.
Lu Ye also looked at the runway.
"Everyone, take your positions..."
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
As the starter's gun sounded, all four athletes rushed out like arrows.
"Binada~Come on! Binada~Come on!"
······
As soon as the game started, thousands of Binh University students in the stands burst into thunderous cheers!
This is the home advantage!
A distance of one hundred meters tests the limits of human explosiveness.
When the four athletes ran at full speed, their speeds were almost the same.
11 seconds is a very short time, and soon it was time to pass the baton, which is also the most technically demanding part of the 4x4 relay race. If you are not careful, you will completely lose the race.
But it was obvious that the four teams in the competition were all professional athletes who had been trained countless times, and they were almost flawless when passing the baton.
"Come on Binda! Come on!"
The people competing below were running with ecstasy, and the audience in the stands were also excited.
Even Su Mengyao, who was usually calm, made a trumpet shape with her hands, put them in front of her mouth, and shouted loudly.
Lu Ye listened to the cheers around him and looked at the athletes running hard on the track below, and his heart was filled with blood.
This is youth!
"Come on! Come on Binda!" Lu Ye also imitated Su Mengyao and cheered for the Binda athletes!
As the cheers grew louder, the competition reached the most tense and exciting last leg.
Run ~ Cross the finish line!
"First! We win, we win!"
There was a burst of cheers from the stands.
"Yeah! We won! Binda won, Binda is first!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the athletes from Bin University finally won the first place!
This is also the first championship point won by Binjiang University, the host country.
