Chapter 345 Back to School Dinner 3

Seeing Gu Qingyu holding his chin and not saying anything, someone couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Gu has been listening here for a long time, why doesn't he have anything to say?"

"What are you talking about? The monitors have already said everything they need to say. If you really want to say something, I suggest that everyone here try to sign up and give it a try."

"Oh, what do you mean?" someone asked.

Gu Qingyu paused for a moment, sorting out his thoughts before continuing, "Our country's current economic situation is shifting from a planned economy to a market economy."

"The market was suddenly opened up, not only to the domestic market but also to external capital,"

"In this situation, we can't just stay in the background and keep going backwards. We need to go out and broaden our horizons and learn other people's rules. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles!"

What Gu Qingyu said made a lot of sense, and everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, the squad leader stood up and said to everyone earnestly, "What our Chairman Gu said makes sense. This opportunity is truly rare. Do your best to overcome any difficulties. Don't give up easily. Always strive for a chance to go out and see the world."

These words made everyone feel emotional. Many of those present were educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for a few years. When they were in the countryside, they overcame all kinds of difficulties, passed the exams and went to college.

They were all people with firm minds. After the analysis by the squad leader and Gu Qingyu, many of them became determined to fight for it.

One of the usually shy students whispered, "But I'm worried that my foreign language skills aren't good enough, and communication will be a problem."

Gu Qingyu smiled and said, "From the time the notification arrives to the time the selection is completed and we actually go out, it will take at least a semester to prepare."

"As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. If you really want to do this, you might as well tighten your belt, grit your teeth, and sign up for a targeted foreign language class outside of school."

"Regardless of whether I get selected or not, my foreign language skills will be useful in my future work, so it's not a loss at all."

After hearing what Gu Qingyu said, the worried expressions of several students who had poor English foundation relaxed a lot.

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table one by one, and the squad leader greeted everyone: "The dishes are all here, let's eat first, and we can talk later if you have anything else."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's eat first. My stomach is growling with hunger!"

"Move! Move!"

We were all familiar classmates, so no one was polite to each other. By the time everyone had eaten their fill, the crescent moon was already high in the sky outside.

Accompanied by the bright moonlight, people walked leisurely towards the dormitory in groups of three or four.

At this time, Yang Shengnan approached Gu Qingyu and asked softly, "Everyone was discussing this heatedly just now, but I saw you looked very thoughtful. Don't you want to fight for this exchange student spot?"

Gu Qingyu shook her head upon hearing this: "That's not the case. I will definitely fight for it. I'm just a little worried."

Yang Shengnan didn't understand what Gu Qingyu meant, and asked curiously, "What are you worried about?"

Gu Qingyu was silent for a long while before he spoke: "Do you think that after these people go out and see the prosperity of the outside world, they will still insist on choosing to return to their country?"

Yang Shengnan was stunned by Gu Qingyu's question. How could someone not want to come back?
