Qingbei University, as a top-tier institution in China and renowned worldwide, is known as the "Cradle of Red Engineers" and possesses immense depth and history.
Founded in 1911, it boasts over eighty years of legacy.
The entire campus covers an area of over two million square meters, akin to a small city.
It houses numerous departments and dozens of specializations, each excelling in its field, with world-class faculty nurturing top talents for various sectors of the nation.
Whenever vehicles stopped and visitors disembarked onto the hallowed grounds of Qingbei University, many felt as if every grain of dust beneath their feet contained knowledge, deeming it an ocean of learning.
In the present era, the educational attainment in China was generally at a very low level.
Let alone attending university, a significant portion of the population had not even completed primary school!
Many farmers were illiterate in the truest sense of the word.
They couldn't even write their own names.
For instance, Qin Chuan's parents' generation, this was a common situation. By Qin Chuan's generation, things had improved slightly, but the overall educational standard remained very low.
This was partly due to poor living conditions, with large families often comprising seven or eight, or even over ten members. The meager income from farming and labor was barely enough for subsistence.
Education was a luxury!
It wasn't that they didn't want their children to study, but they genuinely lacked the means.
In '98, for a child in the countryside to have a junior high school diploma was considered a rare and valuable achievement.
This led to many lifelong regrets, with unfulfilled dreams of attending university.
Qin Chuan was one of them!
In his previous life, he had only a junior high diploma and ventured into the world. Due to his educational background, he suffered many losses and took many detours.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn in this life, the timeline had passed the period for formal education.
Having lived two lives and lost the opportunity to fulfill his university dream, he was filled with a sense of profound reflection.
Among the group, only Shen Anna had been to Qingbei University before, so she naturally took on the role of guide.
From "Shuimu Tsinghua" to "Lotus Pond Moonlit Scenery," "Tsinghua Xuetang," "Jinchun Garden," "Ziqing Pavilion," and the "Sundial"...
Shen Anna led everyone on a comprehensive tour, greatly expanding their horizons.
By the time Qiao Qian called, they had explored most of Qingbei University, and everyone still had a lingering sense of wonder.
Alas, they had tasks to attend to and had to depart for now.
Driving back to their original location, Qiao Qian was already waiting, accompanied by several men and women radiating an scholarly aura.
Upon introduction, they learned that one of them was a dean, specifically tasked with assisting in the filming of the CCTV advertisement.
Under the dean's guidance, the convoy proceeded grandly and stopped before a building steeped in historical significance.
Seated in the car, everyone saw the gleaming gilded characters on the wall—Qingbei Library!
The library itself was not as ostentatious as rumored. Instead, the architecture was old, overgrown with climbing vines, and in some places, the paint had peeled.
The library consisted of eastern and western sections, with its name being the most prominent feature.
Yet, no one dared to underestimate this seemingly ordinary building, precisely because its history and profound legacy were undeniable.
It stood like a wise elder who had weathered storms, silently guarding this institution of higher learning.
The filming location was set in the west wing. Led by the dean, everyone entered with hushed steps.
Stepping through the library doors, the first sight was of diligent students sitting on benches, engrossed in their reading.
The vast library hall was remarkably quiet, with only the rustling sound of turning pages.
The dean walked over, clapped his hands, and the crisp sound finally roused the students.
"Students, pardon the interruption!"
"I have something to announce!"
The dean began.
"It's like this, the CCTV crew has just approached us, wanting to film a short advertisement here, which will also serve as a promotion for Qingbei University."
"So, I'm informing you all in advance. When the filming begins, please continue with what you're doing as if nothing has changed!"
"If any student feels they will be disturbed, you are welcome to leave now. Otherwise, please continue reading as usual!"
After the dean's announcement, the students in the quiet hall exchanged glances. None chose to leave, instead directing curious gazes towards Qiao Qian's group.
While many might be bookworms, it didn't mean they weren't curious about the outside world, especially after hearing that the advertisement was from CCTV...
"Team Leader Qiao, we're ready!"
"You can set up your props here."
"This area is spacious enough and meets your requirements."
The dean turned and said to Qiao Qian.
Qiao Qian expressed his thanks and gestured. Immediately, staff members skillfully began unloading electronic lockers from the truck.
During this, the dean and several colleagues watched with curiosity, eventually inquiring about the purpose of these metal cabinets.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan personally took on the role of explainer, detailing the function of the electronic lockers.
After listening to Qin Chuan's explanation, the dean and his colleagues' eyes lit up.
"Are these electronic lockers as convenient and secure as you say?"
Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Of course. If you leaders have any doubts, feel free to try them out yourselves."
"Our product is essentially tailored for institutions like your esteemed university, especially libraries. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invested heavily to film the advertisement here!"
Just then, a row of electronic lockers was expertly set up by the staff and powered on.
The dean, accompanied by several colleagues, followed Qin Chuan's instructions to complete the entire process of storing and retrieving items.
After multiple successful trials, not a single error occurred, and the leaders' eyes sparkled.
"Impressive! If these electronic lockers were to be installed in our library in the future, it would indeed be much more convenient!"
The dean remarked.
"Not just libraries; I believe they would be very suitable for bathhouses, canteens, and even in lecture halls and various offices,"
said a man wearing thick glasses, with greying hair and a scholarly demeanor.
"Also for our gymnasiums, swimming pools, and other crowded places, they would be very fitting!"
another person quickly added.
Qin Chuan, who was listening intently nearby, heard these remarks and felt an overwhelming urge to embrace these leaders.
They were simply too endearing and approachable!
As expected of those in the education sector, they had a thorough understanding of school needs. Without his prompting, they had already envisioned the full potential applications of the electronic lockers.
Indeed, a significant portion of the market for electronic lockers was precisely within schools, due to the immense demand from educational institutions.
"Sir, may I ask if you are the owner of these electronic lockers?"
The dean asked Qin Chuan.
"Yes, I am the owner. My name is Qin Chuan!"
"Dean, you can call me Xiao Qin!"
Qin Chuan replied promptly.
"Xiao Qin, may we inquire about the price of your product?"
The dean asked.
