234: Dormitory dinner

“Exactly, exactly, that’s what I thought too! Nowadays, whether in academia or even in businesses, when international students are mentioned, it's seen as high-end, as awesome, but is that really the case?

Are domestic graduates really worse than international students? Isn't this some kind of implicit discrimination?”

“That’s right! The true solution should be to treat everyone equally! Educational background is important, but we should place more emphasis on students’ knowledge and ability!”

“Those upstairs, including that Guo Hao, aren’t you being a bit too idealistic? Not caring about academic background? Hehe, then how do you expect employers to choose?

How do you choose between a college graduate and a university graduate? How do you choose between a first-tier university and a second-tier university? How do you even choose between many top universities and ordinary universities? HR doesn't have that much time to make choices.

A student who graduated from a prestigious foreign university has already won against the vast majority of people just based on their academic qualifications! Not caring about academic background... laughable! How is that possible!”

“Upstairs, did you watch Guo Hao’s interview?”

“Exactly, exactly, talking nonsense. Guo Hao has always said that in academia, we should focus on achievements and results, not because you are an international student, you have a higher status and better prospects in academia.

This is essentially a kind of fawning over foreign things, isn't it?”

“That’s right! We can't control private enterprises, cost is indeed an issue, this is something we should manage slowly, but in universities, in academia, we should treat scholars without foreign experience and scholars with foreign study experience equally!

For scholars who have published three SCI Zone 1 papers, you can't possibly say that scholars with foreign study experience are moresharp (powerful/capable), right? This is essentially a kind of discrimination!”

“Yes! That’s right! That’s what Guo Hao means!”

“Hehe! How do you know that’s what he means? I think he’s just got nationalism in his head! What a shame for a good mathematician, I didn't expect him to be this kind of person.”

“What kind of stuff is in your damn head all day??”

“Seriously, I’m speechless, they can even twist this.”

A netizen with the ID “Falling Leaves with the Wind” argued fiercely online, believing that Guo Hao’s character was problematic, attracting many people to debate with him.

There are many rights and wrongs in the online world.

Guo Hao didn't care about the online discussions.

Of course, he knew that his remarks would definitely cause a considerable public opinion storm online, and would even be labeled as a nationalist by some people, thinking he was very extreme.

This kind of thing is completely normal. In his previous life, Guo Hao often visited a platform called Zhihu, where there were all kinds of argumentative people, and some so-called liberals were essentially people who fawned over foreign things.

Attacks on his remarks were completely normal.

Guo Hao didn't care about these things at all.

As a young scientist, if he couldn't even directly express his own opinions, how could he become the benchmark he talked about?

If one's conduct is upright, they will be followed without orders; if one's conduct is not upright, they will not be followed even with orders.

When Guo Hao returned to the apartment.

Shen Luoyan was watching TV, and the news about Guo Hao was still being reported on the TV.

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan with some surprise.

It was the first time he had seen Shen Luoyan not reading, the first time he had seen Shen Luoyan watching TV.

Before, the TV in this apartment was just a decoration and had hardly been turned on.

Watching Shen Luoyan’s serious look, Guo Hao smiled and slowly walked to Shen Luoyan’s side.

“Why are you so serious?”

Guo Hao’s sudden words startled Shen Luoyan.

“You scared me.”

Shen Luoyan said, looking at Guo Hao.

“Sorry, seeing you so cute, I couldn’t help it.”

Guo Hao’s lips curled up slightly.

“How long have you been watching?”

Guo Hao asked Shen Luoyan with a slight curiosity.

“I took the afternoon off and have been waiting in front of the TV since then.”

Shen Luoyan said, looking at Guo Hao seriously.

What a lovely girl.

Guo Hao’s eyes were full of tenderness.

“I made a fortune today, how about we have a joint dinner with our two dorms tonight? Let's go out to eat together, after all, I got a scholarship, everyone knows about it, and our two dorms haven't had a joint dinner for a long time.”

Guo Hao smiled and said to Shen Luoyan.

Shen Luoyan nodded.

“Okay.”

Soon, Shen Luoyan and Guo Hao both gathered their respective roommates from the two dorms.

They came to a restaurant outside the school together.

In the private room that Guo Hao had booked in advance.

“Damn it! Hao Ge! At least you have some conscience! Two million scholarship! I couldn't even imagine that much money!”

Ma Xin said excitedly to Guo Hao beside him.

“A few of us in the dorm helped you argue with the haters all afternoon!”

Li Ming also smiled and said to Guo Hao.

“The logic of some people online is really funny, saying you are some kind of extremist, and even a nationalist, it makes people laugh just hearing it. I blasted them with a lot of insults, these people's logic is really funny.”

When Li Ming said these words, his expression was somewhat indignant.

“You don't need to help me argue with others online in the future, there are many people online with ulterior motives, and there are also many people who are truly stupid and easily swayed.

You can't argue anything out at all.”

Looking at the indignant Li Ming.

Guo Hao smiled.

“As for the people with real ulterior motives, I will use my main account to retort, don’t worry, I know all these things! Watch less online.”

Guo Hao said seriously to the three roommates.

“Alright.”

Ma Xin and Li Ming both nodded.

Just as the few people in the dorm were chatting, the door of the private room opened.

Shen Luoyan walked in with her three roommates.

“Guo Hao!”

Zhao Yu had just walked into the private room, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she shouted loudly at Guo Hao beside her.

“Uh… we’re old acquaintances, there’s no need to call me that!”

Guo Hao said with a wry smile to Zhao Yu.

“Hehe, you’re a big star now! I thought it might not be appropriate to call you the same as before!”

Zhao Yu said with a playful smile to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao shook his head helplessly.

“Alright, everyone sit down! It’s been a long time since everyone sat down to eat together, this time let’s celebrate me getting the two million scholarship, and also thank all the roommates for taking care of me and Luoyan!”

Guo Hao said with a smile.

Everyone sat down.

Unlike previous get-togethers, everyone had been living in college for a long time now and were quite familiar with each other.

The atmosphere was much more lively when they chatted than before.

Except for Shao Ping next to them whose expression was calm, everyone else was very happy. Everyone curiously asked Guo Hao about the things he encountered during the interviews at CCTV, and what the CCTV hosts were like in private.
