Jiang Yunming and his roommates?
What's happening here?
Su Chen looked around and found Jiang Yunming and the others sitting in the last row.
She was looking at him with a face full of anger.
"What's wrong???"
"Why are you so late today?!" Jiang Yunming's voice was a little loud in his excitement.
People around looked over.
Looking at his aggrieved expression.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Su Chen and the others had done something bad to him.
Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine: "Get to the point, don't be so disgusting."
"Today, we arrived a whole hour early just to grab these seats in the last row!" Jiang Yunming said, his face filled with sorrow.
Do you know what this hour means?!
"You arrived only five minutes before the show started. Do you think you deserved our wait?"
Su Chen asked in confusion, "Then what is your purpose?"
"Defeat you all, and then I'll be in the last row?" Jiang Yunming was taken aback.
"So where are you sitting now?"
"The very last row~"
"So you've already achieved your goal, so what are you still upset about?" Su Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Jiang Yunming: "..."
"No!" Jiang Yunming realized, "My main objective is to defeat you!"
Bi Shisan: "You have indeed outpaced us."
Lu Qiaochuan: "So, what's bothering you?"
Jiang Yunming: "..."
"You're getting angry for no reason at all." Yu Hao rolled his eyes at them and ignored them.
Jiang Yunming clutched his heart and slumped heavily into the chair.
Yup!
I won!
I should be happy.
But why do I feel this way?
Even more uncomfortable...
Before anyone could pay him any attention...
The debaters for the second round have entered the room.
Unlike yesterday's all-male lineup.
There were a few more girls in this group.
Moreover, they were all in the positions of first, second, and third debaters.
It looks like there will be a fierce battle today.
Xiao Haiyang looked up and asked, "Do you think talent is more important, or hard work?"
Lu Qiaochuan: "Hard work is more important. After all, even the most talented person still needs to study, right?"
"Really?" Yu Hao chuckled strangely, glancing at Xiao Haiyang: "We have a bad example right here."
Everyone looked at Xiao Haiyang.
Xiao Haiyang: "..."
"Brother Hao, personal attacks are pointless!"
Everyone chuckled.
Xiao Haiyang originally wanted to turn around and ask Su Chen.
But then I thought about it.
I still vividly remember his speech at school last summer.
"What? You want to ask me something?"
"Ah...but I already know the answer." Xiao Haiyang said with a wry smile, "Talent is more important than effort, right?"
“Even if you struggle half your life in a field where you have no talent, you still won’t be as good as someone who can do it casually,” Su Chen looked at them. “Therefore, I support the idea that talent is more important than hard work.”
"Why?" Li Shuci looked up at Su Chen. "Didn't our teacher always say that hard work is more important than talent?"
"Let me give you an analogy and you'll understand."
Su Chen looked at them and said, "For example, Zhong Bai's Chinese is terrible no matter how hard he tries, but he's good at Chinese."
Lu Qiaochuan is good at Chinese, but not at math.
"Shu Ci and Bi Shisan have top-notch IQs, but their EQs are average."
"Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan are similar in that they have average IQs but very high EQs."
"Xiao Haiyang is not good overall, but his leadership skills are still quite good."
“That’s talent,” Su Chen said earnestly. “Outsiders can’t learn it.”
Zhong Bai looked puzzled: "Was Su Chen praising us? Something feels off."
“I feel the same way.” Xiao Haiyang looked puzzled. “I always feel like he’s saying I’m an idiot.”
"You two are mistaken. I'm praising you." Su Chen's expression was extremely serious.
Ren Yifan frowned: "So-so IQ means that our IQ is okay, right?"
Su Chen nodded: "Definitely!"
Lin Luoxue didn't say anything, but playfully patted Su Chen.
Isn't this just indirectly saying they're stupid?
Bi Shisan corrected, "My emotional intelligence may not be as high as my IQ, but it's still pretty good."
"I hope you'll keep that in mind next time."
Everyone: "..."
"Oh, I see." Li Shuci suddenly realized: "Isn't it just like how you're very good at everything else, but you just can't find your way around?"
"That's talent, there's no way to change it?"
Su Chen: "..."
"Pfft!!~" Everyone looked at Su Chen's expression and quickly lay down on the table.
I tried not to laugh too loudly.
"I...I'm sorry." Li Shuci lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Did I say something wrong again?"
"No...no."
Su Chen looked ahead, his right hand touching his heart: "I just feel like I've been stabbed, that's all."
"I'm...I'm sorry!"
...
The debate today was as intense as ever.
This time, however, everyone already had their own side to support.
Just listen to something that makes you happy.
The affirmative side argues that hard work is more important.
Their arguments are mostly based on famous quotes.
Various kinds of chicken soup.
The opposing side argues that talent is more important.
They don't need to find any arguments at all.
