Chapter 1931: She was born to be a debater

She did not dare to compare herself to Guan Ling’s mentor, but she felt that talented people should not be buried.
“To be honest with you, Yang Qi had a debate on this topic last year,” Qin Xuefeng said.
Gu Nian’s heart skipped a beat as she thought, ‘these teachers are really smart.’
She looked at Guan Ling again. She was sitting by the window, calmly and rationally reading through the materials, and then writing and drawing in her notebook. She did not look nervous at all.
On the other hand, although Yang Qi was also flipping through the book, one could feel that he was absent-minded. It seemed that victory was already in his grasp.
“So what if we’ve argued once?” Gu Nian smiled. Those who drown usually know how to swim.”
“Then let’s wait and see.” Qin Xuefeng spread his hands.
Fifteen minutes passed by quickly.
Guan Ling and Yang Qi walked up to the stage again. Since this was a debate between the two of them, the format of the debate didn’t have to be so clear. The two of them could argue with each other no matter what they thought.
Guan Ling, as the leader of ‘money is the root of all evil’, spoke first. “The lost paradise story in the Bible and the teachings of the Chinese sage, Mencius, both explained that it is not natural for people to do evil, but an external temptation.ll Bewitched people to lose their moralsll Knowing, and this external temptationll Confusion is money.”
Yang Qi: “the origin of money is actually complicated. We can’t classify it as a common source. We know that dictators may eliminate dissidents for money, but can’t they do it for power, status, or ignorance?” It can be seen that if money is the root of all evil, it’s a bit biased.”
As the heated debate continued on stage, Gu Nian was fully focused on Guan Ling. She was not flustered and responded appropriately.
She was a natural-born debater. She convinced people with reason and was also aggressive. In the second or third debate, she would not give the other party any time to think. She would take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack, until the other party was speechless.
In fact, she didn’t even need to fight with Yang Qi for 300 rounds, because in less than 13 rounds, Yang Qi was already unable to hold on.
Guan Ling asked, “history is a mirror to the rise and fall of the world. Facing the history of the East and the West, we can’t help but ask,” money, how many sins were born from you? how many prosperous times were destroyed by you?””
This point was not mentioned in last year’s debate, so Yang Qi was unable to defend himself for a while and left five seconds blank.
In those five seconds, the teachers in the audience knew that even though they had opened the back door for Yang Qi, he had still lost.
If Gu Nian was not around, they could still smooth things over and side with Yang Qi. However, since Gu Nian had suggested for the two of them to debate again, it was obvious that she would not be so easily fooled.
They were all professional debate players. Wasn’t it obvious who won and who lost?
Yang Qi was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at the six teachers, and the presiding teacher gave him a look, indicating that this was the only way.
This was because there were not only Gu Nian but also hundreds of students watching the competition. If they were too obvious, the news of the school being unfair would spread again.
Last time, due to unfair treatment, the principal had fallen from grace, and the Vice President of the debate club had also left the club. If such news were to spread again, it would really be an insult to the reputation of a hundred-year-old school.
In the end, the presiding judge announced, ” after another round of debate, it seems that student Guan Ling is more suitable to be the third attorney than student Yang Qi. Therefore, we will finally announce that the media University’s representative for the college debate League will be Qin Xuefeng for the first attorney, Gu Nian for the second attorney, Guan Ling for the third attorney, and Zhong Qiang for the fourth attorney..
