Chapter 182: Applause Arises
All the classmates shook their heads upon hearing this. No one was willing to give up the university spot they had worked hard and burned the midnight oil to earn to someone else.
It’s not just several hundred yuan, but a splendid future!
"You wouldn’t want that either, would you? Not a single person would want that.
Because, this is a very serious matter. After your fruits of victory are intercepted, the other party will study under your identity, and they will also live under your identity in the future. And you, from then on, will have no identity, becoming an undocumented person without papers.
Don’t think that having no identity is not a big deal. Now that the reform and opening up are in progress, we rural people can also enter the cities to start businesses, and buy houses to become city dwellers.
But if your identity information is stolen, the business you create is very likely to be taken away by someone else.
Don’t think there’s no problem if you stay in the rural area. There’s plenty to achieve in the vast countryside, and this is not just empty sloganeering. In the future, many will indeed start businesses in the countryside and become industrialists.
But if your identity is stolen, when you want to get a loan for your industry, the bank will find that this identity has already been relocated. You won’t even be able to get a loan.
Even worse, maybe one day the police will come knocking on your door, saying that you have committed illegal acts outside. Because the person who stole your identity has done nefarious deeds, they will have fled, and at that time, you’ll have to take the fall!"
Mengyu’s words had a thunderous impact among the students.
Many years later, the classmates still remembered Mengyu’s words, because they made them take their own identities seriously, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
Mengyu continued: "Of course, what I’m saying might be somewhat exaggerated, but these are very likely to happen.
That’s why I will absolutely not allow my identity to be used by someone else.
So, I went to the normal university in City B and exposed Jiang Huaiyu for attending university under my identity.
As for why I made such a fuss that Jiang Huaiyu could no longer continue to attend university in my stead, and yet I did not continue to attend that university myself, it’s because I did not want the deeds done by Jiang Huaiyu under my identity to besmirch my reputation!
So, I would rather start over, fight alongside my classmates again, and take the university entrance exam one more time. I am confident that if I could get into a university once, I can do it a second time!
Teacher, my defense is finished."
"Please sit down!" the teacher said with satisfaction.
Only then did Mengyu sit down.
As she sat, everyone was still immersed in shock. It wasn’t until a classmate started to clap that a wave of applause resounded.
The applause lasted for a long time, and Mengyu quickly stood up, bowing to her classmates: "Thank you, thank you teachers, thank you classmates."
In fact, many classmates, including some teachers, had their own opinions about Jiang Mengyu spoiling Jiang Huaiyu’s chance to attend university and yet not continuing herself.
They wondered, since you do not want to attend, why not let someone else attend? Even if it was the university you got into, you shouldn’t prevent others from attending just because you have prejudices against them. Isn’t that a huge waste?
But after hearing Mengyu’s speech today, nobody thought so anymore.
Mengyu was right, by using my identity, I would be left without an identity, becoming undocumented myself.
It’s just like you taking someone else’s path, leaving them with nowhere to go.
I can’t possibly go back and use your identity, can I? Not to mention anything else, if you did something wrong, who would end up being held responsible?
So, anything can be conceded, but one’s own identity absolutely cannot!
