553. Chapter 552: We Have to Write the Best One~
"Start with children?"
"Too young to know anything?!"
"Exactly, if they're too big, their physical constitution will be set, which isn't good; if they're too small, they won't be able to understand the philosophy of cultivation at all. We should take it slowly, so..."
"We middle school students are the perfect fit. We're just the right age, in the prime of our youth, with comprehension skills that surpass those of elementary school students, and we're full of energy!"
"As the saying goes, a strong youth makes a strong nation. The youth are the pillars of our country's future! We must nurture them well; their future is bright!"
"Yes, we should hold the first Cultivation Open Class in our middle school..."
University and primary school principals have already made public statements; how could middle schools be expected to follow suit with their arrogance?!
It's just talking about theory, right? Anyone can do that.
then...
The argument completely erupted.
"What nonsense are you spouting at me? I've already said we need to start from childhood. Oh, you teenagers are the pillars of the future? Then we primary school students are the flowers of the future of our motherland, the bright red scarves of the Young Pioneers!"
"Hmph! Elementary school students and teenagers? They're too young, what do they know? If we really want to get things done, if we really want to serve the country and the people as quickly as possible, then we university students are the ones who need to do it!"
"What, do you think cultivating immortality is like playing a game? So what if you're a college student? You think you can become an immortal just by attending one class?! You still have to cultivate slowly, right? Since that's the case, then of course we high school students have the biggest advantage~~~"
"Our elementary school..."
"Pah, our university~~~"
Seeing a large group of principals arguing heatedly, their faces red and necks bulging, even resorting to swearing, even the Third Vice Minister was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Who would normally witness such a scene?
Which of these principals wasn't a refined and virtuous person in ordinary times? Almost all of them were role models for students and people of both high moral character and integrity.
But what about now?
Okay!
What kind of character is that? What kind of refined manners?
Anyone who tries to stop me from seeking benefits for my students is an irreconcilable enemy, and I absolutely will not allow it!
Seeing that their argument was getting more and more heated, the Third Vice Minister pondered for a moment and then said helplessly, "Alright."
Once he spoke, the principals could only fall silent and watch helplessly.
In fact, they knew very well that no matter how fiercely they argued, they couldn't make the decision; in the end, it was up to the Third Vice Minister to decide.
The problem is that as long as they express their theories and viewpoints, just like in a debate, the more reasonable their arguments, the higher their chances of winning.
At this moment, it was clearly time for the Third Vice Minister to make a decision, and they were naturally tense and paying close attention.
In fact, this wasn't just for his own students.
Of course, even these prestigious school principals cannot all be truly selfless and dedicated to the children.
Similarly, some people live for fame and fortune.
but...
People who live for fame and fortune will only become more frantic in this situation.
Imagine if the first Cultivation Open Class were given by that legendary figure who could shatter meteorites with his bare hands, unleash a sword strike that stretched for thousands of feet and cleaved through towering waves, and it was held at his own school...
What a huge gimmick!
Will my school 'explode' in an instant in the future?
Even the two prestigious universities in the Imperial Capital Double Heroes, which are coveted by countless people, will be elevated to a higher level, and will directly climb to the top of the world's renowned universities!
Whether for public or private reasons, which of these school principals wouldn't dream of being in this position?!
Let alone intellectuals arguing.
In fact, if the Third Vice Minister weren't here, they might very well have started fighting.
"I understand now how receptive people are to cultivation courses..."
The Third Vice Minister spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping calmly over everyone present. As for the meaning behind his words, they were left to guess.
"At the same time, we also listened to and analyzed everyone's opinions."
"Both of them make a lot of sense."
"However, we still need to be more realistic."
"After much thought, I realized that elementary school students might indeed have an advantage in terms of physical constitution, but the first lesson is theory, not the actual start of cultivation. So, let's postpone elementary school for now."
"After all, no one knows how profound this theory is. It would be more appropriate to let our older students take it first, and then the teachers would have some time to deeply understand and comprehend these theories before teaching them to our children."
"At the same time, those who have the most time and energy to put these theories into practice are undoubtedly our university students."
"Secondary school students have heavy academic workloads, but ultimately, their studies should be their priority!"
"The cultivation course has only just begun to be implemented, so we can't let it interfere with our studies."
These words were spoken.
The principals of primary and secondary schools were immediately deflated, like wilted eggplants.
"The Third Vice Minister is right!"
"That's exactly how it should be!"
"We were too one-sided; we completely forgot about this aspect."
On the contrary, the university students were all smiles, and some even impersonated primary and secondary school principals to 'reflect on themselves'.
At the same time, they also felt somewhat guilty.
That's so stupid!
I never imagined that primary and secondary school students don't have much free time and energy. Otherwise, this one theory would have easily defeated them!
Fortunately, the Third Vice Minister thought things through.
They all smiled, intending to share their joy with those around them, but suddenly they realized that the people around them were gradually showing hostility towards them.
Hostility?!
They were slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening.
What?!
That's absolutely right!
Just now, we were 'enemies' with the principals of primary and secondary schools, but now... even though we're all universities, we're all 'competitors' to each other!
Are you suggesting we give them a friendly look?!
Snort!
His expression changed instantly.
The university presidents were no longer smiling.
Only a few people were exceptions...
The two principals of the Imperial Capital Double Heroes, and... a few other principals such as the Magic City Dan Institute.
Since it's a university...
Hey.
How many schools in China can rival them?!
"The Third Vice Minister!"
The president of Magic City Dan Institute jumped out and said with a smile, "Our Magic City Dan Institute is fully prepared and has the ability and confidence to hold this open class successfully!"
"Ability?"
The Imperial Capital Double Heroes slowly rose to their feet. "We are just as good, and we attach great importance to this opportunity. We are confident that we can deliver the most perfect performance."
"Besides, wouldn't it be more appropriate for our capital city to take the lead in this kind of matter?"
"Oh?"
The principal of the Tianfu Academy then stood up. "Our Land of Tianfu is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery... and a sword immortal has emerged. Moreover, we have made contact with that sword immortal, who has agreed to teach the way of sword cultivation at our Tianfu Academy. In my opinion, it is better to teach at our Tianfu Academy."
"Come to our Imperial Capital Academy!"
"It should be our Huaqing!"
"Our Magic City Dan Institute..."
Well, they're arguing again.
This time it wasn't as chaotic, though.
A group of university presidents watched as the presidents of the top universities in the country engaged in a fierce "rivalry," each refusing to yield to the other. They wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
They want to compete too!
Unfortunately, his strength didn't allow it, which was frustrating!
Seeing this, the Third Vice Minister, who had anticipated it, waved his hand lightly and smiled, saying, "How about this..."
"It's not up to me to decide this matter."
"You two should write an application for the first Cultivation Open Class as soon as possible and give it to me. I will pass it on to that gentleman."
"The final decision on who to choose is up to that gentleman."
"Ah?"
At this moment, the president of an ordinary 211 university stood up. He had originally thought he had no chance, after all, there were giants from those 211 and 985 universities blocking his way.
But now, they can write application letters?!
"Third Vice Minister, can we do it too?"
"Certainly."
The Third Vice Minister smiled and nodded, "The colleges you all manage are the pillars of our Hua Nation, so naturally you all have opportunities."
"However, the final choice depends on that person's opinion, so... good luck to everyone."
"Okay, we'll definitely do our best!"
The principal blushed with excitement.
In fact, apart from a few top university presidents, all other university presidents are like this.
I thought we were all doomed...
Unexpectedly, we still have a chance?!
Ah, that feels so good!
For the principals who had previously argued heatedly, this was definitely not good news.
I originally thought there would only be a few competitors, but now... there are hundreds of them?!
Although we are a top-tier university and still have advantages, those advantages have been greatly diminished.
Hateful!
The meeting has now concluded.
University presidents were all rushing around frantically...
I'm so anxious!
How can we not be anxious?
I'm in a hurry to get back to school or the hotel to write my application!
How to write an application?
To be honest, for 'big shots' at their level, it's probably been more than a decade or even several decades since they last wrote an application.
They never even dreamed that people at their level would one day write application letters.
But now, who dares to utter the slightest complaint?
Write!
I must write this!
If anyone stops me from writing, I'll fucking fight them.
Not only do you have to write, but you also have to do your best, rack your brains, and analyze from all angles to write the best and most moving application.
This is a golden opportunity for our university to become the world's leading institution!
Leave the meeting room.
The principal of the Imperial Capital Academy immediately dialed the vice-principal's number and hurriedly said, "Hello? It's me!"
"Immediately, at once, summon all the humanities PhDs and professors in our college, as well as all the experts from the archaeology department..."
"What are you doing??? Writing an application!"
"Forget about the application form, just do as I say. I'm going to write the most perfect, comprehensive application form, one that will definitely move that person!!!"
"..."
Dean Hua Qing was right behind him, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hmph, comprehensive, perfect? The more you write, the more annoying it becomes. It's like an old lady's foot binding cloth, smelly and long. Do you really think writing more is better? And you even want to move that person?"
"Crooked?!"
He also made a phone call, "Immediately gather all the people in our department who are proficient in poetry and literature, I need to write an application."
The person on the other end of the phone looked completely bewildered. "???"
"Don't ask! The answer is to write the best application in the shortest possible words!"
