“But how should we deal with this situation now? Are we going to let them continue to slander you?” Xia Wen said in annoyance.

“I have my ways. Eldest Brother, there’s no need to be angry. Just trust me,” Qiao Mei said confidently.

Xia Wen had no other solution for now. He could only trust Qiao Mei and believe that she would be able to handle this crisis well. He would go and deal with the situation behind the scenes within the government.

Qiao Mei went to the nearby department store to buy a loudspeaker. The next day, she went to the school’s noticeboard and held up a document as she gathered everyone from the agriculture faculty.

“Everyone, look over here! The policy documents for this overseas study trip have already been issued! Don’t you want to know the policy?” Qiao Mei shouted loudly.

Xie Jing slowly walked up to Qiao Mei and said, “What policy? Isn’t it just to make it easier for you to get in through the back door? They have already decided who’s going to get the slot, so why are you still talking so much here? Are you here to show off?”

“That’s right! Who knows if these documents are real! We don’t trust what you say!” Sun Jia quickly echoed.

“This document has a stamp on it! If you don’t believe me, I’ll put it up on the noticeboard later so that everyone can take a look! For this study trip, the school is not the one assigning the slot. The students will have to go through a few selection screenings before the school chooses the most outstanding person to study abroad!” Qiao Mei explained.

“Selection? How?” Xie Jing asked.

“The Education Department has decided that the assessment will be based on proficiency of foreign languages, professional standards, comprehensive quality, physical fitness, personal development ideas, among others. Only the person who meets all these standards and gets first place within the faculty can get the only slot to study abroad. This opportunity might not be mine,” Qiao Mei said.

“Of course it can’t be yours! Everyone knows Xie Jings standards! How can a freshman like you compare to the students in the third and fourth years!” Sun Jia said.

“This slot is not mine. Among everyone who participates in the competition, the slot will belong to whoever gets first place in the end,” Qiao Mei said.

“We can’t accept it! As if a freshman is better than us!”

“We’re all going to participate in the competition! We have to fight for the right to go overseas!”

Everyone shouted in unison and Xie Jing became even more confident. He studied English diligently and would read out loud when listening to the cassette player every morning. He was also very focused in class and he was confident in himself. He was determined to get the slot to go overseas this time.

Qiao Mei did not care about whatever they thought because she knew that she would definitely be the final winner. If it was something else, she might not be as confident, but when it came to agriculture and foreign languages, it was her comfort zone.

In her other life, in order to become an outstanding lawyer, she had learned six languages. Sometimes, she even had to go overseas to handle cases. This was the norm for her.

When the students from the agriculture faculty heard that they could compete for the slot to go overseas, most of them signed up immediately. Given that it was not the norm for first-year students to participate in such events, it was clear that they were all blatantly bullying Qiao Mei.

The first-year students mainly studied theory and did not have many technical classes. They were definitely not as experienced as that of the third-year and fourth-year students.

“They’re clearly declaring war on Qiao Mei! This is not fair at all! We’re only freshmen and there’s only so much that we’ve learned. How can we compete with them!” Wu Duo said unhappily.

“Have you forgotten that I’m from the countryside? I’ve been farming since I was young. In terms of being professional, I’ll say that they’re not half as professional as me!” Qiao Mei said proudly.

Wu Duo and the rest had been worried earlier but they instantly calmed down when they heard that. Most of the students in Capital University came from the city and a small group came from the mixed city-village areas. All of them had never really farmed before and did not know much about agricultural land. That was why they had to work hard to pick up the technical knowledge. Only then could they ensure that they would be able to grow high-quality fruits and not fail any of the university subjects.

Students from the countryside would never apply to the agriculture faculty. They had left the countryside to see the world and learn more. If they studied agriculture, that would be like going back to their original lives. It would be a waste of time going to the university!

“There’s also one slot in each of your faculty, right? Don’t you want to give it a try?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Of course we want to fight for the chance to go overseas, but I really can’t do it. There are too many things to learn in class and I can’t even memorize them all. Even if I try to cram day and night now, I still won’t be able to memorize everything,” Li Xue said dejectedly..
