Chapter 345 Changsha Institute of Technology

In fact, to be more precise, the current National University of Defense Technology is still called Changsha Institute of Technology. Its predecessor is the very famous "Harbin Institute of Technology". In 70, the main body of "Harbin Institute of Technology" moved south to Changsha for the same external reasons as the relocation of colleges and universities back then.

Therefore, the current Changsha Institute of Technology cannot be compared with Peking University and Tsinghua University. Li Zhicheng initially thought that Suning was going to the National Defense University, a purely military academy. Finally, after hearing Suning's explanation, he realized that it was the current Changsha Institute of Technology.

The school leaders, which had just changed its name from Changsha Institute of Technology to National University of Defense Technology, were of course surprised. After all, this was a candidate who scored full marks in this year's national college entrance examination, and it was incredible that he did not choose Peking University or Tsinghua University.

"Student Jiang Changyi, I checked and found that your major is management, is that correct?"

"Yes! Principal!"

"Student Jiang, our school doesn't offer management courses right now. After all, as you know, the country has just reinstated the college entrance examination, and many of the school's hardware and software facilities are not yet complete."

"Principal, I understand! I will obey the school's adjustment."

"Ah, very good!
Since you are in the Navy, I personally recommend you choose Military Oceanography."

"Yes! Principal!"

"Well, Jiang, your college entrance exam results are very good. I hope you can continue to work hard at the National University of Defense Technology."

"Yes! Principal! I will definitely not let you down!"

The principal was very happy to see that Suning was so easy to talk to. If Suning insisted on studying management, the National University of Defense Technology would not be able to open a new major just for Suning, and then they would miss out on this top scorer in the college entrance examination.

As for why this situation occurred, it was because the college entrance examination had been suspended for ten years. College students were only workers, peasants and soldiers recommended from all over the country, and most of them were not focused on studying. Although Changsha Institute of Technology was better than other schools, it was still affected to a certain extent.

For Suning, it suffered from information asymmetry. The National University of Defense Technology in the future will be a giant with a full range of disciplines, but now it is just a small boat with a lot of work to do. Even if Suning applied to Tsinghua University or Peking University, it might not be much better than here.

The National University of Defense Technology is managed in a purely military manner. Students get up at 6:30 every day, have breakfast at 7:30, attend classes at 8:00, study in the afternoon, and go to bed at 10:30 in the evening. Saturday mornings are usually for exams, competitions, and various group activities. Students must ask for leave to go out on Sundays.

For Suning now, he really loves this kind of lifestyle. After all, he has served in the army for more than two years and has long been accustomed to this lifestyle.

At first, the classmates around him were very curious about Suning, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. However, as the military life continued day after day, they gradually got used to it and did not notice that there was anything special about the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

"Changyi, tomorrow is Sunday, let's go out for a walk!"

"Forget it! I won't go." Su Ning shook his head, feeling annoyed. "I don't want to write a leave application and then go back to school to cancel my leave. It's too troublesome."

"Tsk! Changyi, you're too lazy," Liao Weimin, his classmate and roommate, said, provoking him. "You're like a young wife who never leaves the house."

"Haha, you're just hanging out out there." Seeing Liao Weimin resorting to provocation, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't it good to have a young wife like me to look after the house for you, a playboy?"

Seeing that provoking Suning didn't work, Liao Weimin changed his approach and pleaded, "Changyi, I heard that Changsha's Hunan cuisine is amazing. I haven't tried it yet. Can you come with me to try it?"

"Haha, forget it!" Suning shook his head at Liao Weimin. "I'm not used to spicy Hunan cuisine. You should go by yourself!"

"Humph! How boring! Aren't you afraid that I'll be kidnapped by a passionate Hunan girl?"

"Haha, you're so good!" Su Ning looked at Liao Weimin, who looked equally miserable. He didn't think he was any better looking than himself. "Who would be interested in you when you look even worse than me?"

Seeing that Suning was indeed unmoved, Liao Weimin had to ask for leave and go out alone. The main reason was that everyone's life was difficult now. Although students of the National University of Defense Technology all had allowances, Liao Weimin still wanted to find someone to share the expenses with him.

Suning feels that his current studies are very tight, because military oceanography is a science and engineering subject that he has never been exposed to before. If he wants to maintain his position as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he has to work harder than others.

The city of Changsha in the late 1970s was indeed not very interesting. The current Hunan Satellite TV had probably not been established yet, not to mention the avant-garde stars that filled the streets in later generations. Therefore, Suning still believes that the library in the school is more attractive.

The National University of Defense Technology, which was in a state of disrepair, took back many books that had been sealed previously. Suning looked at these books and materials eagerly, feeling that the four years of study were too short and there was no time to go out and eat Hunan cuisine.

In Ningbo, Li Zhicheng's wife Jiang Hong looked at her daughter, Xixi, and said in a relaxed tone, "Xixi, what do you think of Changyi?"

"Brother Jiang? He's fine!"

"Xixi, your father wants Changyi to be our son-in-law. Do you agree?"

"Ah? Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Qianqian's face turned red with shyness.

Looking at her somewhat shy daughter, Jiang Hong couldn't help but understand her daughter's thoughts, "Xixi, Jiang Changyi is indeed not good-looking, but he is very outstanding in all aspects.

If you can really marry into our family, your father and I will be at peace even after a hundred years."

"impossible!"

"what?"

"Mom, I'm saying there's absolutely no chance that Brother Jiang will marry into our family!" Li Qianqian shook her head helplessly at her parents' optimism. "Although I can't see, my heart is. Brother Jiang is a very proud man. It feels like his soul is from a completely different world than ours."

"What are you talking about? Silly child!" Jiang Hong did not agree with her daughter's opinion.

Seeing her mother's indifferent expression, Li Qianqian shook her head with a wry smile, "Can't you and my dad really sense Brother Jiang's arrogance?"

"This"

"He's a perfectionist!" Li Qianqian said seriously about her evaluation of Suning. "When he joins the army, he wants to be the best soldier. He must get full marks on the college entrance examination. Even the dishes he cooks are carefully prepared. He will never allow imperfection.

Perhaps the thing he regrets most in his life is going to the island to beg his father!"

"Xixi, you pay so much attention to Changyi because you like him, right?"

"Mom, I'm blind. Marrying me would be a burden to him." Li Qianqian didn't directly answer her mother's question, but expressed her own thoughts. "Besides, Brother Jiang might not be interested in our Li family's resources and connections."

"Haha, impossible!"

"Mom, Brother Jiang is a top soldier who was featured in the military newspaper, and he's also a graduate of a key national military academy. Do you think he needs to compromise for his future?"

"This"

"Mom, I don't want to be a burden to Brother Jiang. I'll just stay with you and Dad for the rest of my life." Li Qianqian took the opportunity to express her plans. "When you two are gone, I'll find a nanny and spend my whole life with her there."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!" Looking at her sensible daughter, Jiang Hong suddenly felt heartbroken, "You are not Jiang Changyi, why do you think he disagrees?" The reason why Jiang Hong was so confident was because she knew Li Zhicheng's plan. As long as she could find a way to get Jiang Defu promoted, he would definitely make the Jiang family inferior to the Li family.

As for the fact that Suning would disagree, they absolutely did not believe it, because the resources and connections that the Li family possessed were irresistible to anyone. Even if Suning graduated from the National University of Defense Technology, at best he was just an acting battalion commander, and in the eyes of the Li family he was still nothing.

"Xixi, regardless of whether Changyi agrees or not, you should write to him often."

"Huh? How should I write it?"

"Haha, if you want to tell me, I can just write it for you."

"Ah? How can that be possible?"

"Haha, then why not let Jiang Changyi learn Braille."

"No! He must be very busy studying at school right now, so don't cause him any trouble."

"Haha, are you starting to feel sorry for her now?" Jiang Hong couldn't help but joked as she looked at her daughter.

"Mom~~~~"

In the end, Li Qianqian agreed to let her mother Jiang Hong write on her behalf. After all, they were just ordinary greetings, and there were no private whispers. The two of them had not yet developed to that stage.

On the island, Jiang Defu suddenly received a transfer order for his promotion. To be honest, he was really confused at this time, because his leader had talked to him and said that he had no hope of promotion this time. Indeed, in the end, Lao Wang was promoted and left the island.

"Lao Jiang, you finally got a promotion?" An Jie was undoubtedly the most surprised one, because she felt she had had enough of staying on this island.

"Impossible!" Unlike An Jie's surprise, Jiang Defu was a little bewildered at this moment. "My boss has already talked to me and told me that there's no way I can get a promotion this time!"

"Haha, who cares!" An Jie laughed disapprovingly. "As long as you can get a promotion and our family can leave this island, that's all that matters."

"Humph! If our family didn't live on an island, would we be able to live so comfortably?" Jiang Defu glanced at the ungrateful An Jie. "Besides, with such a big deal as a promotion, how can we feel at ease if we don't know the real reason?"

"Hmph! Do whatever you want!"

At this time, Li Zhicheng from Ningbo called and said, "Old Jiang, congratulations!"

"Congratulations? What are you congratulating me for?" Jiang Defu pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"Congratulations on your promotion!
What? Are you still pretending to be me? "

"Old Li, you helped me?"

"Old Jiang, let's not talk about whether Changyi and Xixi's relationship will work out. I can't just watch your old classmate struggle to spread his wings!"

"Old Li, thank you this time!"

"Haha, old classmate, when did you need to be polite to me?"

How could Jiang Defu not know Li Zhicheng's purpose? However, he knew that this was a poison wrapped in candy, and for the sake of his wife and five children, he had to grit his teeth and eat it.

An Jie had been listening to the phone call and knew that it was Li Zhicheng who helped. Of course, she knew what price she and Jiang Defu would have to pay. Although she didn't care about it, she knew Jiang Defu's complicated mentality. An Jie didn't say anything else, but sat quietly aside.

Looking at his wife who had remained silent, Jiang Defu had nothing to complain about. He just sighed silently. After all, the choice was made by him and no one could really force him.

"Dehua, your brother got a promotion."

"What? Didn't Mr. Wang next door get a promotion?"

"Hmph! Lao Wang is Lao Wang, and your brother is your brother!" Lao Ding seemed a little jealous.

"Ah? That's great." Jiang Dehua quickly became happy for his elder brother. "Why did my elder brother get promoted so suddenly?"

"Why else could it be? Isn't it all because of your eldest nephew's influence?"

"Jiang Changyi?" Jiang Dehua's eyes widened in shock, a look of disbelief on his face. "How could he, a mere squad leader, possibly influence such a major event?"

"Tsk! Jiang Changyi is now a student at the National University of Defense Technology. Li Zhicheng from Ningbo has a blind daughter. He must want to marry his daughter to Jiang Changyi."

"Li Zhicheng?" Jiang Dehua was surprised, then suddenly fell into memory. "Is he the Anhui guy who was often bullied by my brother in the artillery school?"

"Yes! It's him!" Old Ding suddenly sneered, "But now he's the one bullying your brother."

"He helped my brother get promoted, how can that be considered bullying?" Jiang Dehua couldn't quite understand what Old Ding meant, and then gave Old Ding a resentful look. "I remember Li Zhicheng's wife's surname was also Jiang, Jiang something, and she seemed infertile, right?"

"What's the surname Jiang?" Old Ding was amused by Jiang Dehua's statement. "Jiang Hong's surname is Jiang Ziya's, not your Jiang family's Jiang. Besides, not long after Li Zhicheng was assigned to Ningbo, he had a daughter, but she's blind."

"Ah? A blind man?" Jiang Dehua was surprised. "Then Chang Yi might not agree!"

"Humph! Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. How could he not agree?"

"What good is a blind man!"

"The Li family only has this one daughter. All their resources and connections have benefited Jiang Changyi. Your brother's promotion is just a matter of a word to Li Zhicheng."

"Ah? Is the Li family so powerful?"

"Hey! Among our batch of classmates from the artillery school, only Li Zhicheng is doing the best now. Isn't that amazing?"

"Ah? Oh my god!" Jiang Dehua couldn't help but think of Li Zhicheng's appearance at the artillery school at that time. It felt really incredible. "I didn't expect that Anhui guy to be so powerful!"

"Humph! Your brother ended up in this situation because he married Anjie. Otherwise, he would definitely be the one who did the best."

"Huh? This happened so many years ago, why are you still bringing it up!" Jiang Dehua was the most angry about this matter back then, but now he thinks the most clearly.
