Chapter 56: National Colleges and Universities Boycott Shanhe University!
However, just as the five people were getting closer to the shanty town, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly interrupted them.
"Are you... kidnappers?" The voice sounded with a hint of weirdness and surprise.
"Exposed!" Fu Qing's eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically. He revealed a ruthless look, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "Don't hold back, kill him!"
Upon hearing his command, the other four felt their hearts fill with determination. They turned and rushed towards the source of the middle-aged man's voice. However, when they got closer, they found themselves surrounded by six or seven people, each holding a pistol, aiming at them in the darkness.
"Police!" one of them sternly called out. "Drop your weapons!"
The five of them were terrified, and their weapons trembled in their hands. Fu Qing was the quickest to react and made a run for it. But Li Qi and the others, who were slower to react, were immediately subdued, and they each received a pair of shining silver handcuffs.
"Take them back to the car," Li Qi ordered. He looked at the five criminals with a peculiar expression. While they hadn't caught the fraud gang they were waiting for, they had inadvertently uncovered a kidnapping case. These criminals had targeted Qin Mu due to his immense wealth.
Yenching University.
In the principal's office, Yu Tianzhou was glaring at Xu Yan with a displeased expression. In front of him, there was statistical data on the total number of students applying for Yenching University this year. However, the number of applicants was not only insufficient to meet the target but was also significantly lower than the previous year.
"Didn't you promise me that the number of enrollments this year would meet the target?!" Yu Tianzhou's voice was filled with frustration.
Xu Yan lowered his head, hesitant to speak, and struggled to find the right words. The number of applicants this year was one-fifth lower than the previous year, and they were now considering lowering their admission standards, something that hadn't happened in decades.
"Principal, I...," Xu Yan began, attempting to explain their predicament.
Yu Tianzhou interrupted, stating, "According to the current situation, we may have to reduce our admissions standards."
For a prestigious university like Yenching, this situation of insufficient enrollment was highly unusual, and it was a reflection of the poor publicity efforts of their Admissions Office. Xu Yan, however, defended his office by explaining that they had received a significant response to their promotional video on the internet, but students from the four provinces weren't convinced.
The reason for the decline in applicants was largely due to Shanhe University, a new institution that had siphoned away prospective students from the four provinces. Now, these students were choosing Shanhe University as their first choice, regardless of their academic performance.
"Shanhe University?" Yu Tianzhou repeated, furrowing his brow. He had heard of the university but hadn't paid it much attention. He had heard about the plans to crowdfund a private university but didn't expect it to come to fruition. Now, it seemed that Shanhe University was rapidly gaining popularity, and it was causing a significant shift in student choices.
Students from the four provinces were applying to Shanhe University with unprecedented enthusiasm. Yu Tianzhou found it hard to believe that these students were choosing a new, less established university over a prestigious institution like Yenching.
Xu Yan added, "I don't know why these students are suddenly acting this way. The president of Shanhe University, Qin Mu, seems to have unconventional plans. He's setting up things like internet cafes, KTVs, game halls, and health care facilities on campus..."
Yu Tianzhou's blood pressure rose as he listened. He couldn't believe that a university would establish such dubious facilities on its campus, which was an affront to knowledge and academic values.
University was supposed to be a place of learning, and a university like Shanhe appeared to deviate from that purpose.
He sighed and said, "It's a shame for these students from the four provinces. They seem to be in a rush to have fun without considering the quality of their education."
Meanwhile, other top universities in the country were facing similar challenges. The number of applicants had significantly decreased compared to previous years. To ensure they enrolled enough students, many of these institutions were considering lowering their admission standards.
Simultaneously, Shanhe University was facing backlash from other universities. Many schools blacklisted Shanhe University, refusing to engage in academic cooperation or share educational resources. Some universities even initiated a joint boycott of Shanhe University, publicly declaring that they would not recognize the student diploma certificates issued by Shanhe University.
