Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Page 523

Ren Yifan: "..."

"Chatting with you guys is so boring."

Amidst laughter and joking.

Half an hour passed quietly.

The room gradually filled up with people.

Su Chen could tell at a glance.

These people didn't come willingly.

After all, I still want to skip class.

Let alone a debate competition that takes up free time during class.

It would be a miracle if he looked comfortable.

If it weren't for the student council taking attendance and checking the number of students, I estimate that at least half the people in the classroom would be gone.

Subsequently.

Judges and contestants enter the venue.

Both sides' forces.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire, creating a very ceremonial atmosphere.

Looking at the people who came on stage.

Lin Luoxue leaned closer and whispered, "Cousin, you look much more handsome than them in a suit."

"Why don't you go up and be a judge sometime?"

"impossible."

Su Chen shook his head decisively; he had definitely smelled the tension in their confrontation yesterday.

If he were to go up there and be a judge...

Isn't that just a massive battleground?

Whoever wants to go will go.

Before she could even try to be cute, Su Chen directly covered her most striking eyes.

They pushed her back.

"Shh~ Don't talk, the debate is about to begin."

...

On the podium.

The referee stood up and bowed to the audience.

Then he took the microphone and spoke.

"First, let's invite Li Ziyan, the first speaker for the affirmative side, to speak. She has 3 minutes. Please."

............................................

I've created an original storyline, I hope you all like it... I'm really afraid that if I write it too fast and it's already past my sophomore summer break, that would be awkward.

246: Xiao Haiyang: I think both sides are right. (Thanks for subscribing)

This debate.

The affirmative side argues that money is the root of all evil.

At the very beginning.

The contestant named Li Ziyan stood up and bowed politely to everyone.

Then he began, "Thank you, judges. Good evening, everyone."

The story of Paradise Lost in the Bible and the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius both illustrate that human evil is not inherent, but rather caused by external temptations that lead people astray from their conscience.

In the next three minutes.

Yi Bian quoted extensively from classical texts, discussing everything from the value of commodities to the formation of human nature.

Every word came from the bottom of his heart.

It made people nod in agreement.

Xiao Haiyang stroked his chin: "I think there's nothing wrong with it, I support the affirmative side."

Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan nodded in agreement: "Me too."

Bi Shisan nodded: "What he said makes some sense, but... I think people are the masters of money. Although I haven't heard the opposing side's arguments yet, I support them."

Yu Hao: "I need to hear from both sides before making a decision."

"Cousin, what do you think?"

Su Chen thought for a moment. If it were his previous life, he would be running around every day just to earn a little bit of money.

He would definitely think that money is the root of all evil.

Because he didn't.

In this life, he became wealthy, and very wealthy at that, so he no longer felt that money was that important.

That feels very subtle.

Su Chen shook his head: "I can't explain it. Let's watch them debate."

At this point, Su Chen countered with, "What do you think?"

It depends on the person.

“People are different, how can you generalize?” Lin Luoxue glanced at Su Chen: “I have a lazy bum right next to me who’s worth billions but lives like a lazy bum, and he hasn’t been corrupted by money, has he?”

Su Chen: "..."

Three minutes passed quickly.

The referee rang a bell: "Okay, thank you for the excellent speech by the affirmative team."

"Next, let's hear how Zhang Liang, the first speaker for the opposing side, addresses the issue and establishes his argument. He has 3 minutes. Please proceed."

The words fell.

Zhang Liang stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, "Thank you, leaders. Good evening, everyone."

My opponent just told us that money is the root of all evil because she equated money with the end goal.

Then I'd like to ask the second speaker a question: If I pursue money lawfully and in accordance with the law, and money is indeed my goal, then is money the root of all evil?

Subsequently.

He launched into another eloquent and eloquent speech, citing classical texts.

The audience was completely confused.

There are stars in my eyes.

"Hiss~~" Xiao Haiyang's expression turned serious: "I think this guy is right too~"

“I think so too.” Lu Qiaochuan nodded.

"He seems to have refuted everything that person said earlier, and it does make more sense." Ren Yifan was unsure who to choose for a moment.

Yu Hao said from the side, "Let me tell you, based on my years of experience reading gossip news, I can tell you..."

"There will definitely be twists and turns in this matter, so don't rush to conclusions."

"Just watch from the sidelines in Ontario."

Bi Shisan: "Although his views differ from mine, overall he is not bad, and I support him."

Yu Hao rolled his eyes.

So you didn't listen to a word I said?

Subsequently.

Following the speeches of the second and third debaters.

People were constantly switching between these two viewpoints.

Simply put.

They listen to whoever speaks first.

They have absolutely no independent thought.

Yu Hao rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"You guys are really something!" Yu Hao looked at the group. "Can't you be like the judges and wait until the debate is over to reach a consensus?"

"When I'm following gossip, what I hate most are you fence-sitters like me."
