TWWMABMTBH Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Because the Food at the Agricultural University is Delicious!

The geese have all grown up… what kind of problem is this? Could it be that these geese are Rong Ziyan’s research observation subjects?

In an instant, the production team was a little dumbfounded, and even Rong Ziyan’s eyes seemed to become profound and unpredictable.

“It’s really inconvenient, right!” Rong Ziyan saw that he hadn’t spoken for a long time, and subconsciously turned his gaze for help to the department head not far away.

“Then maybe I can ask our department for help…”

“No! I can’t!” Thinking of Rong Ziyan’s troublesome, unlucky geese, the department head’s face suddenly turned ugly.

The department head’s voice was too shrill, and the production team was also startled.

So, is there a problem with these baby geese?

Of course, there’s a problem! The department head was on the verge of tears.

And Rong Ziyan’s group of drama queen baby geese were also unhappy. Hearing that Rong Ziyan seemed to want to leave them behind, the geese instantly stretched out their fluffy little wings and hugged Rong Ziyan’s fingers, looking inquisitively towards the production team.

Baby Geese: How could there be such heartless people who want to separate young geese from their handsome and gentle father?!

A head with a single, silly strand of hair poked out from behind Rong Ziyan’s finger, and a pair of black bean eyes stared intently at the director of the interview.

They were really very cute, and the production team was instantly struck by the cuteness of the baby geese.

[Charm Points: 5000]

The director immediately nodded and said, “No problem! You can raise them!”

Anyway, they were living separately for these two months, and since the geese were Rong Ziyan’s own, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to take care of them.

Rong Ziyan smiled, “Then thank you for your help, production team.” At the same time, he patted the baby geese’s heads, “Quickly, thank this beautiful sister!”

Baby Geese: Sending out little hearts of love~

[Charm Points: 2000]

Very good, now the entire production team was captivated. Rong Ziyan bringing his geese into the team had become a settled matter.

After this problem was resolved, Rong Ziyan’s rapid-fire Q&A session began.

Rong Ziyan’s questions were about the same level of difficulty as those of the beautiful senior from the Landscape Architecture Department and the student from the Mechanical Engineering Department. But after all, he was a highly anticipated academic, so the scope of Rong Ziyan’s questions was obviously broader.

The production team had originally thought that if Rong Ziyan could answer 80% of the questions correctly, he would be considered very impressive.

But Rong Ziyan answered all of them correctly.

What was most surprising was that there was a very niche art film that didn’t even have a rating on Douban, but Rong Ziyan knew the director’s name.

The production team couldn’t help but admire, “It seems that Little Rong is also a very artistic person usually.”

Rong Ziyan thought for a moment, “Maybe because that director was particularly interesting!”

Due to time constraints, the production team didn’t delve into why Rong Ziyan thought so, they just simply echoed, “It seems that people with interesting souls always attract each other,” and then ended the interview.

However, when Rong Ziyan finished and returned to his department’s resting area, the two people from the Mechanical Engineering and Landscape Architecture Departments looked at him with strange expressions.

“We’re all in the lab all the time, so why do you have time to watch movies?”

Rong Ziyan said very calmly, “I used to work in a movie theater. I happened to see that movie when it was being screened.”

“The only screening of that movie was in the theater where I worked, so you would remember it too.”

“Then did you watch it? Otherwise, how would you know the director was interesting?”

Rong Ziyan: “Yes! The movie was filmed like a PowerPoint presentation, how could it not be interesting?”

It was indeed a very Rong Ziyan-like answer. The two of them immediately fell silent.

After all, with a straight man like Rong Ziyan, you couldn’t expect him to understand anything artistic. It would be better to just ask him which goose looked more beautiful.

Of course, this recording was not included.

After taking the last shots, the production team was ready to arrange for individual photos.

Before coming, they had originally planned to take some casual shots, but considering the powerful combat strength of Rong Ziyan’s team, they decided to take them seriously.

Especially Rong Ziyan, he was refined and good-looking, just like a young celebrity. And every time he spoke, he’d have a punchline. The production team were all clever people, and they could see that Rong Ziyan was naturally straightforward. If this natural straightforwardness was edited well in the later stages, basically every episode could become trending.

In this way, his commercial value would be explosive.

The director: Take photos of him looking handsome, so there will be a contrasting effect.

Photographer: Got it! Just you wait!

Rong Ziyan was not camera shy, and his imitation ability was also good. The first few photos were quickly taken.

What was most gratifying was that Rong Ziyan’s dozen or so baby geese were also surprisingly cooperative. Not only did they not run around at all, but they could also proudly raise their little heads precisely when the camera was aimed at them. They could be said to be extremely cooperative.

Photographer: How did you train these geese, Rong? They’re not only not afraid of people, but they’re not fierce at all either.

Rong Ziyan thought for a moment: Maybe it’s because they think you look good.

The photographer couldn’t help but laugh: Oh my, you’re really good at talking!

Rong Ziyan looked at the “Little brother is a little handsome, but I’m more handsome than the little brother” messages scrolling on the baby geese’s heads and decided to just let him think whatever he wanted.

The System sighed, feeling that this world that judged by looks was really hopeless.

The production team was efficient. A week later, as a warm-up for the new recording, the edited preview of Rong Ziyan and his team appeared on the official Weibo.

First, there were photos of the three of them.

It had to be said that people were visual creatures. Upon first meeting, a good-looking face would always be discovered before an interesting soul.

Especially Rong Ziyan in the photo, with his gentle eyebrows and clean smile, paired with the white coat of the veterinary department, it could be said that he was very much in line with the aesthetics of the “face-judging” crowd.

“Ahhhhh! This veterinary department little brother is too good-looking, I want to pick him.”

“Thank you, production team daddy, for the benefits. Hurry! Give me the new academic’s Weibo, my ‘big x’ can’t wait!”

“I won’t say anything, just for this face, I’m going to subscribe for this episode!”

However, this was ultimately a program about academics competing, so talent was the ultimate king. Therefore, there were naturally people who couldn’t stand seeing people being popular based on looks.

“What’s the point of having so many good-looking people in a program that’s supposed to be about competing with real strength?”

“Is the production team stirring up trouble? Didn’t they say that the three teams that ultimately win would compete with teams from abroad? I have no problem with a surprise attack, but it won’t be good if they don’t have real talent!”

“It’s really annoying, I hope it doesn’t turn into the entertainment circle thing again. It’s hard enough to find a variety show that doesn’t have an obvious script and is pure and unpretentious.”

The old fans of the show were still quite powerful. Before long, they sent the topic “Surprise Attack Team Suspected to Be Just Pretty Faces” to the front page.

The Agricultural University was also a serious 985 and 211 university. Rong Ziyan and his two teammates were also famous academics in the school. How could they let people slander them like that?

The first person to repost on Weibo was the Veterinary Department head, who was furious, and said, “The Agricultural University has no pretty faces,” directly refuting the rumors.

Immediately afterward, the heads of the Landscape Architecture and Mechanical Engineering Departments also came out to repost, protecting their own “cubs”.

The Agricultural University’s campus forum was also instantly in chaos. Students at this age were at the height of their passion. If the school was discriminated against, they would definitely join the fight!

On the forum, similar posts emerged one after another.

“Brothers! It’s time to protect our school!”

“The head of the Veterinary Department has spoken, we have to hurry up and keep up.”

“Hehe, those people don’t know shit, spouting pretty faces. I’m afraid they haven’t been beaten by real academics!”

There were many capable people in the school. If they were just relying on this passion to tear things up online, the students of the Agricultural University might not necessarily be able to win.

But it was no match for having a lot of talent. There was a girl who was deeply involved in the fan circle, who knew the rules of public opinion. She created a separate post to teach everyone how to refute.

“Everyone, don’t get too emotional. We have all the real talents we need. We’ll see when the competition starts. So the more we suppress it now, the more we’ll slap their faces later.”

“So we can’t just follow them and curse at them, we’ll ruin our public image. Then it will be difficult to reverse the situation.”

“Then what do we do?”

“State the facts and reason! Don’t we have enough bragging points for our three academics?”

Damn! That makes a lot of sense!

With a little guidance, the students of the Agricultural University immediately found their backbone.

After that, the Weibo reposts directly reposted what the head of the Veterinary Department had said, expressing support, and at the same time, subtly adding some bragging about their own academics.

Things like the national first prize in mechanical modeling, admission tickets to the International Youth Festival for landscape design, and even Rong Ziyan’s title as the top student in Beijing that year were all dug up.

“That’s too fake, isn’t it? How can a top student go to the Agricultural University?” Some people really raised questions.

As a result, they were immediately hit in the face with the interview report of Rong Ziyan winning the top score in the college entrance examination that year.

It was indeed the top student in Beijing’s college entrance examination, and he was also specially admitted by the Agricultural University, with a four-year waiver of tuition and accommodation fees.

“Hehe, didn’t you read the report? What’s wrong with a top student from a farming family who is determined to study animal husbandry to give back to his hometown? Everyone has their own aspirations, it’s your wishful thinking!”

In this one fell swoop, Rong Ziyan had completely made a name for himself. As for everyone who had participated in this online battle, they could only retreat and wait for the final result of Rong Ziyan’s team “surprise attack”.

The program had not yet started broadcasting, but it had already made it to the trending topics, and even saved on advertising costs.

At this time, Rong Ziyan and his two teammates were on their way to the recording dormitory, and they were about to arrive.

This wave of online discussion brought Rong Ziyan over 100,000 emotional points.

While the System was reading the online comments, it curiously asked Rong Ziyan, “Host, why did you choose to go to the Agricultural University?”

Rong Ziyan had just woken up from his sleep and subconsciously replied, “Because the Agricultural University promised to waive four years of tuition and accommodation fees, and guaranteed priority admission.”

The System was silent for a long while, not knowing whether to sympathize with those netizens who were touched by Rong Ziyan’s steadfast commitment to his initial dream, or to feel sorry for Rong Ziyan who had no other choice when he graduated from high school.

Rong Ziyan: “Don’t overthink it. It’s not like I had no way out, I could have applied for a student loan.”

System: “Then why did you still come to the Agricultural University?”

Rong Ziyan sighed and finally told the truth: “Because they said the food in the Agricultural University’s cafeteria was better.”

System: …

The System shut down again.

Rong Ziyan didn’t try to persuade it. In fact, comprehensive universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University had also extended olive branches to Rong Ziyan, but Rong Ziyan ultimately chose the Agricultural University.

In the final analysis, it had nothing to do with dreams or the fact that the food in the cafeteria was delicious. The veterinary department was the last resort Rong Ziyan had left for himself.

After all, he had extremely bad luck since he was a child, and every time he was about to make a final decision, something would always come up to thwart him. It was already unexpected that the college entrance examination had gone so smoothly. So Rong Ziyan thought that maybe he would have to pay it back at some point in the future. It would be better to study veterinary medicine, so that if things didn’t work out in the future, he could still find a way to make a living back home.

This was also the real reason why Rong Ziyan didn’t have many emotional fluctuations when his mentor suggested that he be sent down.

It could only be said that by some stroke of luck, he had gotten the System and gained the best future.

And because of this, Rong Ziyan felt that there was no need to mention those past “indignities” because there was a cause and an effect, and he had always known how to be content.

Ten more minutes passed, and the car stopped in front of the dormitory building.

With the help of the production team staff, Rong Ziyan got out of the car with his luggage.

Because of the baby geese, Rong Ziyan was the last to arrive.

After helping the staff settle the baby geese first, Rong Ziyan went back to his dormitory to put down his luggage.

The production team had spent a lot of money, and the environment of the dormitory where Rong Ziyan stayed was not much different from a five-star hotel.

Rong Ziyan looked around and then began to tidy up. Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

Rong Ziyan opened the door and found a young man who had a very sunny smile. He wasn’t tall, maybe a little over Rong Ziyan’s shoulder. When he saw Rong Ziyan, the young man couldn’t help but stare at Rong Ziyan’s face.

“The real person is even more handsome than the photos!”

“May I ask who you are?” Rong Ziyan didn’t recognize him.

The young man quickly introduced himself, “Hello, senior, I’m from the Tsinghua and Peking University accelerated program. I’m participating in the show this time by special admission. Like you, we’re a surprise attack team. But we came in the last episode, so I live next door to you!”

“Oh, by the way, as future comrades-in-arms, should we add each other on WeChat? It would be convenient to contact each other.”

“Okay.” Rong Ziyan added him on WeChat.

The little young man had achieved his goal and chatted with Rong Ziyan for a few more sentences before returning to his dormitory.

However, unlike Rong Ziyan’s dormitory, there were two other people in the young man’s dormitory. They must be his teammates.

The little young man excitedly raised his phone to his teammates, “Praise me! Perfect collection of opponent information! I’ve added him on WeChat.”

“So casual?” Another young man frowned, feeling that Rong Ziyan’s lack of vigilance was very puzzling.

“Hey, whatever! Let’s see what’s on his Moments first.”

Among these three young men, one was majoring in psychology, so they were used to analyzing their opponents based on the information in their Moments.

This battle plan had only been used once, but it had worked well, so they planned to use it again this time.

The only pity was that after their surprise attack was successful, the other teams became very defensive. They did not expect that Rong Ziyan would be so careless.

“Maybe he hasn’t done his homework, isn’t that even better?” The three young men thought, and clicked on Rong Ziyan’s Moments.

Then, the three of them were all stunned.

Because the first post that came into view was a picture of three very eye-catching salted fish. At the same time, it was accompanied by a line of text, “Want to buy salted fish? Pick me for a meal, I’m super sweet!”
