Chapter 66, First Class Meeting

He immediately spoke on behalf of the dormitory, saying, "Don't worry, Teacher Dong, I will definitely tell them when they return that our dormitory guarantees to attend the class meeting on time."

Dong Bin nodded approvingly, quite impressed with Chen Zhiyuan's composed and proactive demeanor, and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, what's your name?"

Chen Zhiyuan introduced himself simply: "Teacher Dong, my name is Chen Zhiyuan, and I come from Wuhe City in this province."

"Chen Zhiyuan... Okay, I've got it."

Dong Bin nodded slightly, his impression of the name and the well-mannered, clear-eyed boy in front of him becoming even more profound.

After checking on the dormitory and giving a few words of advice on safety and dormitory hygiene, Dong Bin took his leave.

He turned and went to the dormitory next door—the dormitories of Computer Science Class 991 were all located on the same floor and very close to each other, which made it convenient for him to visit and notify them one by one.

August 31st, 7 PM.

The first class meeting of Computer Science Class 991 was held on time in classroom 301 of the first teaching building.

Chen Zhiyuan completed two training sessions today—nearly two hours at 7 a.m. and more than an hour at 5 p.m., which he felt was just right.

Coach Lin Jun originally planned to stay at Jiangnan University for a few more days to personally oversee Chen Zhiyuan's basic training, but due to numerous affairs with the national team, plans could not keep up with changes, so he had to book a flight tonight to leave.

Before leaving, Chen Zhiyuan ran a new time of 9.91 seconds in training, which put Lin Jun at ease.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed: "Xiao Chen, Bingying will be in charge of the subsequent daily training."

If two hours of training per day feels too much, you can appropriately shorten it to one and a half hours, or even one hour. Remember, quality is more important than quantity.

This unparalleled gem is too precious. Lin Jun has been involved in sprinting all his life and has never seen a promising talent with such amazing ability and such rapid progress.

He knew the principle of "too much of a good thing" and knew he must not ruin his training by being too eager for quick results.

Moreover, he discovered that Chen Zhiyuan's body's response and adaptability to training were beyond imagination; the effect of one hour of training might be equivalent to ten days or half a month of hard training for others.

Therefore, it is even more important to plan scientifically and proceed step by step to avoid overtraining that could lead to muscle strain or injury—which would be the greatest devastation to athletes.

He would never allow this to happen to Chen Zhiyuan.

Hearing that the training schedule could be flexibly adjusted, Chen Zhiyuan was delighted.

He himself felt that maintaining moderate, high-quality training every day was enough, and it would leave more time for other things.

After seeing Lin Jun off, Chen Zhiyuan had a simple dinner at the canteen, took a refreshing shower back in his dormitory, changed into clean clothes, and timed it perfectly.

He walked into classroom 301 almost right on time, glanced around and saw his roommates, then naturally walked over to them.

Class teacher Dong Bin had arrived and stood in front of the podium. His gaze slowly swept over each fresh and slightly curious face below the stage, and he nodded slightly.

He glanced at his watch, cleared his throat, and said, "Okay, time's up, and everyone's here."

All 32 students in our Computer Science Class 991 are present. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Dong Bin. I just graduated with my PhD last year and am now a teaching assistant in our Computer Science department, as well as your class advisor for the next four years…”

He stood on the podium, his voice gentle and clear, and simply introduced his situation and responsibilities.

As Chen Zhiyuan listened, he casually glanced around the classroom.

The class had 32 students from all over the country, with varying heights, builds, and personalities.

The majority of the students were boys, with fewer girls. He roughly counted them and found there were only about nine girls. Their faces all showed the naivety and curiosity of someone just entering university.

After introducing himself, Dong Bin raised his voice slightly and said in an encouraging tone, "Our class of 32 students comes from all over the country. It's fate that we can gather here. Now, who would like to be the first to come up on stage and introduce themselves so everyone can get to know them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall, broad-shouldered girl with neat short hair stood up confidently, walked a few steps to the podium, and said in a loud and clear voice, "Hello everyone, my name is Yelü Fangfang, and I come from Liaoning..."

Chen Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Yelü? That's a rare compound surname. Could his ancestors have been descendants of nobles from the Liao Dynasty? This unique opening instantly lightened the atmosphere in the classroom.

With Yelü Fangfang's "good start," the atmosphere quickly became lively.

One by one, the students went up to the stage. Some seemed a little nervous and stumbled over their words; others were outgoing and cheerful, speaking fluently and confidently; each had their own unique style. Chen Zhiyuan also walked onto the stage amidst applause and gave a brief and clear self-introduction.

He could clearly feel that when he stood on the stage, many eager gazes were cast upon him from below, especially from the female students, whose gazes seemed particularly focused.

If you could hear what they were thinking, they would probably exclaim things like, "Wow, so handsome!", "We can't believe there's such a handsome guy in our class!", "He has such a great presence!"

Class teacher Dong Bin's gaze also fell on Chen Zhiyuan, and he nodded slightly with approval.

He had already made up his mind: Chen Zhiyuan was calm and composed, not shy, and seemed to have a strong presence among his classmates, making him a suitable candidate for class monitor.

After all the students had introduced themselves, Dong Bin gave some tips on university life, left his contact information, and said that they could contact him anytime if needed.

Next, the topic turned to the most important part—military training.

"Students, starting tomorrow, we will begin a month-long military training program."

As soon as Dong Bin finished speaking, a chorus of gasps rose in the classroom. "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, all freshmen, approximately six thousand people, will hold a military training mobilization meeting in the school gymnasium, after which training will officially begin..."

One month!

These two words were like a boulder thrown into a lake of the heart, instantly stirring up ripples of wailing (although everyone only dared to shout them in their hearts).

The autumn heatwave is in full swing, with scorching sun every day and high-temperature warnings issued several times. Just thinking about standing at attention and marching in formation under the sun makes many students' vision blur.

The female students were even more dismayed: "Oh no, oh no! With such a strong sun and such intense ultraviolet rays, we'll be tanned to a crisp after a month! All our skincare plans are doomed!"

However, amidst this silent lament, Dong Bin abruptly changed the subject, his gaze precisely fixed on Chen Zhiyuan, and he said clearly:

"Of the 32 students in the class, except for Chen Zhiyuan, the other 31 must attend the military training on time and must not be late. In principle, leave is not allowed."

What!

Chen Zhiyuan doesn't need military training!!

In an instant, almost everyone's gaze turned to Chen Zhiyuan.
