A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Zhang Rui shook her head again, deciding not to say anything more.

Those who wear this on stage are basically leaders.

Even if you're a student with some achievements, you can't pull off an administrative jacket!

To put it bluntly, you need to have an official background to wear this.

Lin Zheng felt inexplicably impressed.

He sat in the office for a while and chatted with Zhang Rui about the specifics.

The two then set off towards the conference room on the first basement floor of the teaching building.

But then again.

What Lin Zheng didn't know was that, in fact... he had a government background.

Chapter 291 Is this a competition of who has the richest father?

The venue for this lecture on the Ten Outstanding College Students was not the large conference room where Lin Zheng had previously attended, but a smaller conference room that could only accommodate about forty or fifty people.

After Zhang Rui led Lin Zheng into the conference room, she told him to find a seat and then disappeared, presumably to attend to other work.

At this moment, more than thirty students had arrived in the conference room, chatting in small groups, and most of them seemed to know each other.

Lin Zheng was the only one who didn't recognize anyone.

He went inside and found a seat at random.

Next to him was a tall, thin man wearing glasses, with a weathered face, pockmarked and uneven, looking like he had suffered a lot from acne.

"Hey? Dude, what's your name? What year are you in?"

The bespectacled man nudged Lin Zheng's arm and struck up a conversation with him.

"Lin Zheng, you're a freshman, what about you?"

Lin Zheng smiled and gave a brief reply.

"Holy crap! A freshman! What the heck, is this a meeting for freshmen? By the way, my name is Zhang Han, a senior in the School of Electrical Engineering."

Zhang Han extended his hand, and after a moment of shock, introduced himself with a grin.

"So you're a senior student, my apologies."

Lin Zheng smiled and extended his hand to shake his, which marked the beginning of their acquaintance.

In fact, any student who shows up in this meeting room can make friends and get to know people.

After all, these people are here to select the top ten outstanding students of Nancheng University, and they are all absolute elites in the school's undergraduate stage.

"Junior Lin, don't panic or be nervous when you get here. As a freshman, it's already quite an achievement to be here. Let me introduce you to the people who might be selected as the top ten outstanding college students."

Zhang Han seemed like a social butterfly. He had just introduced himself to Lin Zheng when he started introducing himself to Lin Zheng as if they were old friends.

He pointed to a boy sitting at the front wearing a dark yellow mesh shirt and said, "That guy's name is Wang Chen. His dad is the mayor of our Nancheng City. It's almost a sure thing."

He then pointed to the girl next to Wang Chen and said, "That's Lin Shiling. Her family owns the Lin Group in Nancheng... emmm, in short, it's a very large group, the kind worth tens of billions. She's the direct heiress, so she's basically a shoo-in."

He twirled his finger, pointing to the other side, where there were also people in the first row, and continued, "That's the son of a dean from the school next door..."

"Huh? Wait, wait, what does this mean? It feels like this selection isn't based on individual ability, but rather on family background?"

Lin Zheng interrupted Zhang Han, frowning and saying unhappily.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Han chuckled.

It seems that his purpose in saying all this was to deliberately attack Lin Zheng.

He explained with a smile, "For example, that guy, last semester, when he was a sophomore, led the way in making a small man-made rocket that could fly over 100 kilometers."

"Tsk tsk tsk~, do you really think a sophomore could have made this?"

As Zhang Han spoke, he scoffed mercilessly.

However, he didn't dare to speak too loudly, just enough for Lin Zheng to hear.

In my sophomore year... I built a rocket that can fly over 100 kilometers.

Lin Zheng's breathing paused for a moment.

This thing...

what?

That's amazing!

He looked at Zhang Han with a strange expression.

Clearly, he didn't believe it.

At least in his understanding, this was a field that only graduate students could access, and even doctoral students were qualified to participate in.

Senior year...

He had spoken with Shu Rui and Zhang Heng, two senior students who were about to graduate.

In engineering majors at the university, the graduation defense in the fourth year basically involves designing a component, drawing a two-dimensional drawing, creating a three-dimensional model on the computer, and then writing a design specification.

As for the details of that component...

The simplest example might be a seemingly unsophisticated power outlet.

That's right, that's the thing. You can graduate by designing that thing.

A more complex approach might be to design a mold that can produce simpler parts.

For example, molds for making spring sheets.

In this way, you've graduated.

So, springs... and man-made rockets.

The difference in their value is like night and day.

Most importantly, the student who built the artificial rocket was a sophomore in college.

"Holy crap! This is ridiculous!"

Lin Zheng made a sarcastic remark and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Han chuckled to himself as he continued to boast, "What else? You could say that guy can get any award he wants. That's not exactly a matter of personal ability, but it's still a matter of personal ability. After all, he has a good father, right?"

Sigh...

Lin Zheng nodded in agreement, feeling helpless about the situation.

So, looking at it this way, he thought he was pretty awesome and that the title of one of the top ten outstanding college students was a sure thing.

So, they ended up just being there to be a foil?

"Then what's the point of us coming here? I don't think I can beat these guys who rely on their parents' connections," he muttered, somewhat exasperated.

"Pretty much. In reality, even if you're better than them, unless you're significantly better, you still won't be among the top ten. You understand that, right?"

Zhang Han paused for a moment as he spoke.

Seeing Lin Zheng nod, he continued, "But we can actually get something from here. For example, we might not get the Top Ten, but we can get the title of Outstanding College Student! I don't know about other schools, but it's quite prestigious in our school."

With this, finding a job paying 200,000 yuan a year after graduation is a piece of cake for undergraduates. As for graduate students, don't even think about it if you can't earn at least 300,000 yuan a year.

After hearing this, Lin Zheng understood.

It turns out that even those who played supporting roles didn't come here empty-handed.

It will be of great help, at least in terms of finding a job in the future.

At this moment, Zhang Han suddenly grinned slyly and continued, "By the way, there are quite a few girls from well-off families here. If you can win over one of them, then... it's not impossible to avoid a hundred years of detours! That's one of the benefits of attending this conference, understand, junior?"

After saying that, the guy raised an eyebrow in a lewd manner, indicating that he knew what was going on.

Lin Zheng was amused by his winking and grimacing expression.

However, he actually quite enjoys chatting with people like that.

It was quite relaxed and pleasant to chat with.

"So you mean, we're going to go after that Lin, Lin what was it again? Lin Shiling?"

He raised an eyebrow in a lewd manner and started befriending the other person.

"Hehe~, that's fine. That girl's family is too powerful. I guess she wouldn't even look at ordinary people like us. Wang Chen next to her has been pursuing her all along."

But how should I put it? ...

"Just the mayor's son; he's utterly insignificant compared to a family with a century-long history."

Zhang Han shook his head dismissively as he spoke.

Lin Zheng, however, disagreed.

This is the mayor!

He didn't know many powerful people, but the one who impressed him the most was Zhou Shishi's father.

A long-time employee of a public institution is in charge of engineering projects worth tens of millions of yuan, and he can get people involved and contract out projects. He can easily earn one or two million yuan a year.

Is Chapter 292 really that strong? It's just something I grinded out.

Lin Zheng and Zhang Han chatted for a while. Around 11 o'clock, several people dressed as leaders arrived, accompanied by Zhang Rui, the counselor.

They pulled out seats, poured water, and acted just like waiters in a high-end restaurant.

Lin Zheng glanced at the group and seemed to vaguely recognize the leader.

His name seems to be... I think it's Wang Yu or someone else.

During military training, he had a competition with the instructor, and then this person came to mediate.

He seems to be a member of the school's board of directors, holding a fairly high-ranking position.

After a brief commotion, Wang Yu sat down on the judges' panel and began to speak: "Dear students, please be quiet. The annual selection of the top ten college students is about to begin and is expected to last for about six hours. I'm afraid you won't be able to have lunch, so please forgive us."

And then, everyone here is an elite from our Nancheng University. Here, I…”

Wang Yu talked on and on for more than ten minutes before stopping.

Lin Zheng was getting sleepy listening to this.

The fact that they couldn't eat lunch didn't bother them much, since they had all eaten breakfast before they arrived, and they figured they could just tough it out with lunch.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Rui, the counselor, took the microphone and began to have the students take turns to the stage to present themselves according to the list. Several judges in the audience scored them, and the top ten in the final comprehensive score were selected as the top ten outstanding college students in Nancheng.

It has to be said that this thing seems pretty fair on the surface.

Lin Zheng, sitting in the audience, was no longer chatting with Zhang Han. He sat properly, like a well-behaved student, listening attentively to the person on stage.

The same carefree attitude can be expressed in two ways: some people are always carefree and playful, while others know their limits and understand when to play and when not to.

Lin Zheng was feeling bored when he suddenly remembered something.

Holy crap, isn't Cai Shu an outstanding college student?

Her resume states that she is an outstanding college student.

So he took out his phone and sent a message to Cai Shu to inquire about the situation.

Cai Shu replied quickly, saying that it was just a matter of going through the formalities and that she only needed to make some minor preparations.

Finally, the young woman apologized, saying, "Boss, I'm sorry, I was just too busy yesterday, so I didn't have time to make the PPT for you."

"It's okay, I've already had someone take care of it for me. You just focus on your work. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who's stingy."

Lin Zheng sent a message with a veiled meaning.

The other party immediately sent a cute, pitiful emoji.

Lin Zheng couldn't help but chuckle twice at this.

Being a boss is great; you can just chat casually, and your employees will feel like they're sitting on pins and needles.

What does it mean to serve a ruler as if serving a tiger? Perhaps this is what it means.

At this moment, the first student on the list has come up on stage.
