Chapter 842: Decide on the Candidate
"They want to have a debate tournament with us?" Su Meili said with a look of surprise when she heard Dean Xiao Chuanwei say that Stanford University proposed to hold a debate tournament.
"yes, it's tonight, so let's get ready. Xiao Chuanwei said with a smile: "However, don't worry, it's just a debate competition, you just have to try to play at the best level." It doesn't matter if you win or lose, the key is to learn from others. ”
After all, Xiao Chuanwei is only teaching, and he doesn't pay much attention to winning or losing. But Cao Yi, who was on the side, said with a solemn face: "Dean Xiao, since there are winners and losers in this debate competition, we must actively respond to the battle. Ninghai University is visiting for the first time, if you lose, you won't be able to talk about your face, right?"
"That's it, Dean Xiao, although they are very powerful, it doesn't mean that we will definitely lose. Song Shangjiang had already interjected on the side: "Don't worry, we will definitely win." ”
Xiao Chuanwei glanced at Song Shangjiang and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. After a while, he turned his head to look at Ye Qiu again and asked, "Ye Qiu, what do you think?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, and said, "I don't have any opinion. ”
"Ye Qiu, since we have come out, we are a group, representing the entire Ninghai University. At this time, Su Meili stood up, seemingly a little dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's attitude. She glanced at the crowd and continued, "Moreover, I think there must be a reason why Stanford single-handedly proposed the debate tournament at this time. I'd heard a few of their students discussing something in private, probably trying to humiliate us. ”
After a pause, he continued, "So, we must not let them succeed. This represents the entire Ninghai University. ”
In Ye Qiu's opinion, it was just a debate competition, and there was no need to raise the height to such a high level. But he didn't know that if he won this debate, it could be directly written in the file. This will be of great benefit to Su Meili and the others in their future work.
Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Du Wei also said on the side: "That is, Su Meili is right, since we have come out, we represent the best level of Ninghai University." We must win this game, bring glory to the school, and not let the students of Stanford University look down on us. ”
Seeing that several classmates were all passionate, Xiao Chuanwei was not good at what to say.
Over there, Cao Yi also spoke: "A few classmates are right, no matter what their purpose is, no matter what the results of the previous competitions are, but this time it is different, because the students we brought out are different...... This time, we must win. ”
Ye Qiu and Zhao Yaqian glanced at each other, and both of them smiled helplessly in their eyes. For a game like this, they don't care at all. As for winning or losing, it doesn't affect them very much either. It is not necessary to win the debate tournament to win the glory of the school, what kind of logic is this?
However, most of the members of the team are in favor of it, and they are not good at anything against it.
"Classmate Zhao Yaqian, what do you think of this matter?" Seeing that Zhao Yaqian had not spoken, Cao Yi asked Zhao Yaqian.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yaqian asked, "I have no opinion." ”
"That's good. Cao Yi finally put his mind at ease, among the several students represented this time, Zhao Yaqian and Song Shangjiang's abilities were the strongest. Song Shangjiang intended to express his stance before, so he wanted to see Zhao Yaqi's attitude. Only when everyone in the team is united, the probability of winning is the most guessed.
As for Ye Qiu...... In Cao Yi's heart, Ye Qiu is just the kind of student with a lot of influence, but in terms of learning, Cao Yi doesn't think Ye Qiu's school is any better. The founder of a club hardly comes to the school to attend classes, and this visit is also because of the principal, how can he study well?
Therefore, he didn't care about Ye Qiu's opinion at all.
Only Xiao Chuanwei and Ye Qiu glanced at each other and smiled apologetically.
Ye Qiu understood that there had been differences of opinion between the two teachers. After all, Cao Yi is the director of the office, and he understands office politics better.
"What is the topic of the debate?When will the debate tournament start?Do we have time to prepare?" Su Meili asked three questions in one breath.
"The debate is at eight o'clock this evening. The venue of the competition was arranged by the Stanford School of Economics...... The topic of the debate is not yet known. As is fair practice, it should be decided by drawing lots on the spot of the match. Xiao Chuanwei explained.
Since everyone wants to win, as the leader of the team this time, Xiao Chuanwei can't hold everyone back, so he will also introduce it in detail at this time.
"Then we don't have any time to prepare?" Du Wei said with a frown.
"Not bad. Xiao Chuanwei nodded. "Of course, they don't have time to prepare. ”
"That's fair. Ye Qiu smiled.
Xiao Chuanwei glanced at the five students in the room, then his eyes fell on Song Shangjiang, and said with a solemn face: "Song Shangjiang, you are the champion of the debate competition of our school and department, and you will be in charge of this competition." ”
"Only win, not lose. Cao Yi added on the side.
"I understand. Song Shangjiang nodded.
He took a pen and paper from his desk and quickly wrote something on the paper.
"Su's beautiful style is calm and thoughtful, and she is suitable for a debate. Song Shangjiang looked at Su Meili and said, "We are fighting in the debate arena, and I have great confidence in you." ”
"I'm a senior underdog. Su Meili said modestly.
"Du Wei has studied abroad before, and he is also the president of the Foreign Language Association, so he has a good understanding of their style and is suitable for second debate. Du Wei, do you have any questions?" Song Shangjiang looked at Du Wei again and asked.
"No problem. Du Wei readily agreed.
"Zhao Yaqian is sharp and sharp, calm and measured, and has rich knowledge reserves, strong attacks, and is suitable for three debates. Song Shangjiang looked at Zhao Yaqian and said, "The question of the opposing side is very critical in the three debates. It affects whether we can win or not. ”
Hearing that Song Shangjiang had arranged it three times, but there was no name for Ye Qiu, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about Ye Qiu?"
Song Shangjiang just glanced at Zhao Yaqian, but did not answer Zhao Yaqian's question, but continued: "I will make four arguments and make a summary statement." That's how our personnel is arranged. Dean Xiao, do you have any opinions?"
Xiao Chuanwei didn't expect Song Shangjiang to cut Ye Qiu directly, this kid was really ruthless. However, since he said that Song Shangjiang was in charge of this debate competition, he could not go back on his word.
In addition, he made such an arrangement, and it was indeed made according to the characteristics of each person. Ye Qiu rarely went to school before, let alone participated in the school's public activities. Therefore, Xiao Chuanwei is not too confident in Ye Qiu's ability in terms of aspects.
Although he doesn't care about winning or losing, after all, everyone represents Ninghai University, and he also hopes to have a better result.
Therefore, he has no way to have any opinion on Song Shangjiang making such an arrangement.
