His erudition, composure, and thoughtfulness greatly increased my fondness for him. Our relationship, which had previously been one of "friends in adversity," gradually took on a layer of ambiguous intimacy. Yet I was acutely aware that I carried the weight of a heavy past and an obsession with revenge, leaving me little time to indulge in romantic feelings. I needed to first establish my footing and become strong enough.
University life was both novel and fulfilling. The vast array of books in the library, the knowledgeable professors in the classrooms, and the vibrant students from all over the country opened my eyes, allowing me to eagerly absorb knowledge.
I understood the value of time; aside from diligently studying my major, I also took advantage of my spare time to "recharge" myself. I audited courses from other departments, scoured various newspapers and magazines in the library, and even secretly ventured to the old book market outside campus to hunt for some "forbidden books."
My diligence and intelligence quickly caught the attention of both teachers and classmates. In particular, my ability to offer "unique" and "bold" insights on economic issues made several professors take notice of me.
Of course, the university campus was not a pure sanctuary. Where there are people, there are rivalries. My rising prominence attracted some jealousy and criticism. Some labeled me a "country bumpkin" from a rural background, others dismissed my success as mere "luck," while a few privileged students looked down on me and attempted to create trouble.
Among them, the one who left the most "impression" on me was the class beauty—Zhou Meiling, a daughter of high-ranking officials. She was beautiful, came from a wealthy family, and had an arrogant personality, always basking in admiration. She seemed particularly fond of Shen Junyan, who was gentle and exceptionally talented. When she noticed Shen Junyan looking at me differently, she began targeting me at every turn.
For instance, during group discussions, she would deliberately make things difficult for me, spread rumors behind my back, and even attempt to unite other classmates to isolate me.
I paid little attention to these petty antics. Having endured the likes of Wang's family and Zhao Chunyan, Zhou Meiling's tricks seemed like child's play to me.
During one classroom debate competition, Zhou Meiling provocatively attacked me with personal insults regarding the merits of Planned Economy versus Market Economy, mocking my "narrow rural perspective that only understood small-scale agriculture."
I did not get angry; instead, I calmly stood up and systematically refuted her arguments with clear reasoning backed by theory and practice. I deeply analyzed the advantages of Market Economy in resource allocation and vitality stimulation, as well as the inevitable trend of future Reform and Opening-up.
My speech was logically sound and insightful, coupled with precise predictions about the future that left everyone stunned! Even the old professor teaching the class couldn't help but nod repeatedly in admiration!
Zhou Meiling was left speechless by my rebuttal, her face alternating between shades of green and white as she lost face in front of the entire class! From that point on, she dared not provoke me again.
This debate competition made me an overnight sensation within the department! Not only did I earn my classmates' respect, but I also caught the attention of the Department Head and several esteemed professors. They began to view me as a key candidate for development, offering me more opportunities to participate in research projects and practical activities.
I knew that I had successfully established my footing at university. The next step was to leverage this platform to realize my greater ambitions!
