Chapter 429 Anyone can bring down Huilong Group, but not the students of Han University!
early morning.
Hantong University Apartment Building No. 7
The phone next to my pillow went off alarm.
It took a while before Mu Wanting was woken up.
I sat up groggily, feeling dizzy and disoriented, and still wanted to go back to sleep.
"Very sleepy!"
Picking up her phone and turning off the alarm, Mu Wanting really wanted to lie down and take another nap.
Yesterday was the day for new students to register, pay tuition, find dorm rooms, buy daily necessities, and get various cards...
With her cousin Xiao Ya's company and help, Mu Wanting didn't have to worry about anything at all.
Even the latest laptop prepared for her, Xiao Ya helped connect to the internet before leaving.
After all the freshmen arrived in the afternoon, Mu Wanting officially began her university life.
Class meeting, receiving military training clothes and shoes...
New environment, new faces, new atmosphere.
Everything at university was so new and exciting.
Mu Wanting had lived in a dormitory before.
She achieved excellent results in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the best high school in the county.
The school was too far from her hometown, so she lived on campus for all three years of high school.
but……
The accommodation conditions at my hometown county's No. 1 High School are worlds apart from those at Handong University.
At the county's No. 1 High School, the dormitories are small and crowded, and the steel-framed beds are old and rusty.
If there aren't even desks and chairs, don't expect to find a bathroom or electric fan.
To use the restroom, you have to go to a public restroom.
To take a shower, you have to go to a public bathhouse.
If you want to drink water, you have to take your thermos to the water room to get some.
You can only hand wash clothes in the bathroom and then hang them on the dormitory balcony.
Arriving at Handong University...
Mu Wanting was truly amazed.
In high school, a long, narrow dormitory room was crammed with six bunk beds to house sixteen people.
At Handong University, the larger dormitories only had four bunk beds.
One of them didn't have a bed underneath, but instead had a long desk that could accommodate three people.
There are also two shorter desks, but with spacious enough tabletops and bookshelves, which can accommodate two people.
Thus.
A dormitory room not only houses seven people, but each person also has their own desk where they can place personal items such as books and computers, as well as use it for doing homework, eating, and so on.
In addition, the dormitory has a fairly spacious balcony, with a row of cabinets on one side, and each of the seven people has their own private locker. There is also a very wide and long washbasin by the window.
The dormitory has a private double-pit toilet, which not only saves everyone from having to go to the public toilet, but also has a shower head next to each pit that provides hot or cold water 24/7, so you don't have to go to the public bathroom to take a shower.
Moreover, the dormitory not only has broadband and color TV, but also automatic washing machines, water dispensers with bottled water, landline phones with card slots, high-powered hair dryers, and inverter air conditioners that can both heat and cool...
This kind of dormitory is unbelievable to everyone.
Although I had heard long ago that Handong was more economically prosperous than other provinces and cities.
Moreover, the wealthy Handong Province places great emphasis on education, and the renowned Huilong Group provides substantial financial support for education.
But no one expected...
For only 1,200 yuan a year, I can live in such a nice student apartment.
Student dormitories with washing machines and air conditioning—I wouldn't have believed it was real if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
In other places, even master's students from century-old prestigious universities might not have such dormitories.
In most people's minds, student dormitories are quite harsh; even a slightly overpowered hairdryer can easily cause a power outage.
Handong University's student dormitories not only have first-class facilities, but also charge standard market rates for water, electricity, and internet without any extra charges.
Ever since.
Last night, Mu Wanting stayed up until the early hours of the morning with the air conditioning on and her roommates, who came from different places and were living together for the first time.
"Get up! Get up! Everyone, get up now!"
"Today is the first day of military training, we absolutely cannot be late!"
After enthusiastically volunteering yesterday, He Jiayi was unanimously elected as the dormitory head and then woke up her roommates in each bed.
After everyone had dressed and folded their blankets, they put their hands behind their backs and said loudly:
"The counselor said that we can't bring cell phones or MP3 players to military training. We're there to receive military training, not to play around!"
"Since none of us are in the dorms, it's best to put all your valuables in the lockers. I'm talking about you, Mu Wanting. Put your phone and computer away!"
He Jiayi specifically pointed at Mu Wanting.
Mobile phones that cost thousands of yuan each, computers that cost several thousand yuan each...
For the vast majority of students, these are naturally valuable items that not everyone can afford.
In fact, many new students who registered for school did not even have an old-fashioned 2G mobile phone or a PHS phone.
They contacted their families to let them know they were safe, using public phones or even writing letters.
Just like their dormitory.
Only Mu Wanting had both the latest 3G mobile phone and a laptop.
Of the other six people, only three had cell phones, and they were all cheap or secondhand.
Why is Mu Wanting, who doesn't have an overbearing demeanor, the richest person in the entire dormitory?
Last night, everyone took turns introducing themselves, and Mu Wanting gave a detailed account of her family situation.
She said her family wasn't wealthy, and her cousin had bought her all the new clothes, new cell phones, new computers, and so on.
As for Xiao Ya, the beautiful cousin whom my roommate met yesterday morning, what kind of job does she do?
Mu Wanting did not hide anything and openly stated that she worked at Huilong Group, but her workplace was in Xirong.
In this way, everyone understood.
Huilong Group's arrogance is already well-known.
Why are the student accommodations at Handong University so good?
He's none other than Zhao Ruilong, a graduate of Handong University, who is now the vice president of Huilong Group. In the past two years, he has donated 1 billion yuan to the university.
Otherwise, where would they find such luxurious and comfortable student dormitories?
Moreover, Huilong Group is known for its high salaries and benefits.
Even ordinary workers on the assembly line of an electronics factory, who tighten screws, not only have high wages and bonuses, but also enjoy social insurance, housing fund, and paid annual leave.
As for those scientific and technical personnel engaged in software development, chip design, system simulation, product testing, and so on, they have long been earning monthly salaries of over 10,000 yuan.
and so……
Although Mu Wanting did not say what her cousin did at Huilong Group.
But if you can work at Huilong Group, buying mobile phones and computers developed by the group as gifts is a piece of cake.
After a quick wash, everyone left the dormitory and headed to the cafeteria.
Countless people in camouflage uniforms emerged from the dormitory buildings, swarming towards the canteens like a swarm of ants.
Before coming to Handong University, Mu Wanting thought that the county's No. 1 High School she attended was already a very big school.
But now...
What's so special about a county high school?
The number of freshmen at Handong University in 2002 was greater than the entire student body and faculty of a middle school.
Because of the large number of students, Handong University has a total of eight student canteens.
At this moment.
Freshmen flooded into the cafeteria like a tide, and long lines formed in front of each breakfast window.
Before I left home, my parents worried whether my 500 yuan monthly allowance would be enough.
After arriving, Mu Wanting discovered that if she only ate at school, she wouldn't be able to spend all her money.
A steamed bun, a bowl of porridge, and an egg—breakfast only cost one yuan in total.
Even if you eat some meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner to ensure a balanced diet, two yuan per meal is enough to eat well.
In other words, daily living expenses can be kept under five yuan. Even if you occasionally crave something sweet, buying some snacks and fruit at the supermarket will easily cover five hundred yuan a month.
"No wonder so many people are getting poverty certificates to apply for the Huilong Charity Foundation's poverty scholarships!"
"If I get accepted, that's five thousand yuan! That's more than enough for a year's living expenses!"
Mu Wanting ate while secretly sighing.
She wouldn't gossip and ask who in the dorm had applied for the Huilong Poverty Alleviation Scholarship.
However, according to her observation, Duan Huilin, who came from the Northwest, was very likely to have applied, and her family was indeed in financial difficulty.
The clothes and shoes they brought were all old, clearly having been washed and mended many times; most of them were probably gifts from relatives and friends.
Although the person was not sickly pale and emaciated, they were short and thin, clearly indicating long-term malnutrition, which affected their development.
"Huilin, aren't you from the Northwest? You must really like noodles, right? How come you've only eaten one steamed bun?"
Before Mu Wanting could speak, dormitory head He Jiayi asked her what was on her mind.
And as soon as she finished speaking, her other roommates echoed her words.
"Exactly, eating only one steamed bun probably won't be enough; military training is very tiring!"
"A meat bun is only two cents more expensive, why are you being so frugal?"
"Given your family's circumstances, you're definitely eligible for the Huilong Poverty Alleviation Scholarship, or even the National Scholarship!"
"Don't think that just because your family is poor, you have to be frugal with food. You're here to study, not to suffer!"
"That's right. What's the point of saving a few cents or dollars? You need to be healthy to study well, and if you study well, you can find a good job and earn a lot of money in the future."
Despite everyone's persuasion, Duan Huilin did not get up to buy meat buns.
"I have a small appetite; one steamed bun and some porridge are enough for me!"
Seeing Duan Huilin devouring a steamed bun as if it were a delicacy, no one dared to say anything more.
Perhaps for Duan Huilin, a soft, fluffy white steamed bun is already a delicacy.
Because she comes from Weiyuan County, Dingxi City, Hexi Province, an extremely remote mountain village. Her family has been farmers for generations and also raises some sheep.
She was the first female college student in her village. She applied to Handong University because she heard that it was easy to apply for student loans and poverty relief grants when she came to study there.
Due to inconvenient transportation and long distance, she set off from her hometown four days ago, taking a donkey cart, a minibus, a bus, and a train before finally arriving in Jingzhou.
Duan Huilin didn't say anything more.
But as everyone knows, some remote areas in Northwest China are truly poor.
The area suffers from water scarcity and lack of rain, resulting in barren loess ridges that yield very little grain throughout the year.
In such an extremely impoverished place, very few people can persevere and finish primary and junior high school.
Duan Huilin, a girl, not only finished high school, but also got into a key university.
She has endured countless hardships and tribulations along the way.
In the days that followed, during military training...
Everyone else has both meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner, and occasionally some fruit or snacks.
Duan Huilin, on the other hand, ate steamed buns and porridge for all three meals a day, with at most an egg and a vegetable dish.
Nutritionally speaking, there was no problem at all. Duan Huilin even gradually became more robust, unlike before when she was so thin and frail.
