Chapter Sixteen: The Qiao Family's Wealth

  Fat boy looked at Zhao Heng and smiled:

  "My name is Qiao Yuncai, I'm from the School of Economics and Management, from Hua Guo Tan Du, what about you?"

  "My surname is Zhao and I'm also from the School of Economics and Management."

  Zhao Heng's introduction was simple and direct, he always had a habit of leaving half of what he wanted to say unsaid when dealing with overly cunning people, this was Uncle Feng's teachings. Qiao Yuncai's face sank, showing a few points of displeasure, not even mentioning his full name, who introduces themselves like that? Not a bit of sincerity, it's as if they look down on themselves.

  He thought it was necessary to give Zhao Heng a lesson, and reminded him: "Brother, don't put on such an arrogant face, you're just a bookworm! Haven't you heard that at home one relies on parents, outside one relies on brothers? This is an ancient saying! We can be considered as having fate to sit together, if there's anything in the future, just say it, I'll cover for you."

  Qiao Yuncai said with a very Jianghu tone, adding a brotherly atmosphere.

  "Zhao Heng, from General City Mountain District."

  Zhao Heng looked at this relatively straightforward Han Chinese man, and although the other person had an air of a rustic old rich man about him, judging from his words just now, this young fellow was still worth befriending, at least he was frank enough. So this time he took the initiative to extend his hand, and Qiao Yuncai immediately shook it back with a force that was neither too light nor too heavy.

  "Enough for the fare! After getting off the car, I'll treat you to a meal."

  The next second, Qiao Yuncai was familiar with Zhao Heng's shoulder and looked around in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, have you found that the new students on the bus are 80% out-of-town girls? I feel that Huahai University is not a college recruitment, but a delivery of beautiful flowers to local men."

  Zhao Heng said with a smirk: "You're thinking too much, aren't you?"

  "Damn it! Is my Ah Chai a person who speaks nonsense?"

  Qiao Yuncai pointed to the girls in front, behind and around him for Zhao Heng to see, and then threw out his conclusion: "I deliberately stayed at the reception point for three hours, and saw four buses taking new students back to school. Among them, 80% were female students from other places. Men like you and me are really few and far between."

  "What kind of school is Hua Hai University?"

  Qiao Yun's expression turned solemn, his voice calm and collected: "Local schools, set up by Huahai City to take care of the children of local residents, 70% of those who enter are locals, while outsiders only account for 30%, which is already a gap. Most of the local-born boys who stay in Huahai to study."

  He patted Zhao Heng's shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "After all, girls are more serious about studying, and with the wealth of Huahai City, those who have good grades go abroad. Therefore, most of the students entering Huahai University are local boys. How to balance this phenomenon? That is to increase the proportion of female students from other places."

  "Don't be skeptical, I dare say my argument can withstand scrutiny."

  Qiao Yuncai raised his hand and sighed: "This Huahai Municipal Government is really biased towards the locals."

  "It's normal anyway... Who let Dongfang Xiong mix in Hua Hai?"

  Zhao Heng listened to Qiao Yuncai's argument for a long time without saying a word, not because he thought Qiao Yuncai was talking nonsense, but because he was shocked in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't see any hint of joking or nonsense on Qiao Yuncai's face, only the resolute and serious light that only "idealists" possess, which made people dare not question randomly.

  Moreover, Qiao Yuncai inferred the motives of Huahai University based solely on the disproportionate ratio of male to female students from other places. Zhao Heng was convinced that this local rich man was extraordinary and would become a formidable figure in the future if given the opportunity to develop, possibly becoming a true-to-form wealthy businessman.

  Zhao Heng took out his mobile phone to verify Qiao Yuncai's calculation, and after scanning the male-to-female ratio of non-local examinees at Huahai University over the past five years, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Qiao Yuncai, just as Tufei had said. The ratio had remained at 3:7 for all five years, with fluctuations that were almost negligible.

  Ten out-of-town examinees, seven girls.

  Qiao Yuncai leaned over to take a look, saw the phone data and smiled: "Brother, I guessed it right? Huahai University is indeed a place for playboys, local students are all rich and handsome, having natural advantages in competing for girls. But don't be discouraged, brother, with great skills and boldness, we can also get some leftovers."

  "If you don't find your target and stick to it, you won't even get a bowl of soup."

  Zhao Heng was completely speechless this time.

  Huahai University, a local university in Huahai.

  Its establishment is just over 30 years, and the establishment at that time was considered by the Chinese government to be of great importance to the location of Hua Hai. In order to take care of local residents, it was established to allow them to contribute to Hua Hai without worrying about their families, so every year the admission score line is more than 50 points lower than that of students from outside the city, which is a kind of local protection.

  It has been proven that the government of Hua Guo made the right decision, and Hua Hai quickly developed from an unknown place into an international metropolis. The total economy has grown rapidly every year, and 17 years ago, when Hua Guo was at war with six neighboring countries, Hua Hai selflessly supported the military, accounting for nearly a third of the logistics after the war.

  So Hua Hai University is a national heavy chess piece.

  Although the local protectionism of Hua Hai University was strongly criticized nationwide, it ignored public criticism and went its own way. The national government and Hua Hai dignitaries supported the university with a tough attitude, allowing local children to attend university as much as possible, indirectly retaining many talents.

  Dongfang Xiong also mixed at Hua Da, but now all his information has become a national secret, and only a few people can see him.

  Hua Hai University has also developed over thirty years and grown from its initial 2,000 faculty and students to 30,000.

  First-class facilities, second-class teachers, third-class students! This is the evaluation of Hua Hai University by outsiders. However, despite being ridiculed in every way, it cannot stop students from all over the country from enthusiastically applying. They scold and apply at the same time because the situation here is really top-notch, whether it's teaching hardware or campus environment, Hua Da can rank among the top five in the country.

  Moreover, each student has benefits. Every month, the school subsidizes students with 300 yuan for meals. During holidays, there are also gifts and scholarships galore. Some students have even graduated without spending a single penny on tuition fees and earned 20,000 yuan instead. Most importantly, local enterprises help students find employment.

  Principal Hua Hai once shouted out a manifesto: Let every graduate earn more than 10,000 yuan per month!

  Looking across the country, this kind of excellence is unique to Huawei alone.

  However, Zhao Heng came to Huahai University with great ambition, but not too high-sounding. He wanted to temper himself for four years at Huahai University, enrich his life and expand his connections. Of course, he yearned to stand out and win at Huahai, but he also knew that blind confidence without foundation was just arrogance.

  The report lasted for three days, this is the school's intention to avoid the eight thousand freshmen crowding, so many local students came on the last day, which can avoid crowding with out-of-town students and also enjoy two more days at home. However, Zhao Heng, who had no foundation, could only choose to report early, he needed to get familiar with the campus environment as soon as possible.

  The day of school opening is always very lively in the campus.

  People coming and going, laughter filled the campus, colorful ribbons and banners with words like "Warm Welcome to New Students" flying everywhere, the music fountain unique to Huahai University kept playing non-stop, while the school's ceremonial band played "Welcome to Huahai" repeatedly, and some people were even leading female students in a horse-riding dance.

  One smile after another is more brilliant than a flower.

  "Over here! Newborns this way."

  The student union members in charge of reception were busy and happy, rushing to welcome new students with a clear purpose. Beautiful girls are naturally the first choice for them, followed by girls, and then boys who dress elegantly. Society is so realistic, beautiful girls and rich people always get extra preferential treatment and favoritism.

  "The world is cold and cruel."

  Qiao Yuncai got off the bus and followed Zhao Heng closely. In his words, Zhao Heng had a good personality and was on the right path, so he qualified to be his friend. Therefore, he lined up with Zhao Heng to register together and took out several local specialties from his backpack to invite Zhao Heng to taste, playing the role of an elder brother: "Huaxi Taoguan biscuits."

  Zhao Heng did not cool down his enthusiasm, and after eating two pieces of Taigu cake that tasted okay, he got busy. Zhao Heng didn't like the utilitarian smile, so he directly refused the student union cadre's kindness and signed up alone with his luggage according to the guide board. He deeply understood that the only person in the world who can rely on is oneself.

  In Zhao Heng's world, oneself is the most reliable!
