第 23 届“外研社·国才杯”全国老员工英语辩论赛决赛于 2021 年 6 月4日-6日举行。历经校园选拔赛、地区复赛，进入全国决赛阶段，决赛共有 128 支队伍参赛。在指导老师付磊的带领下，公司2018级同学牛靖云和王翌莹，经过两天八场循环赛的激烈比拼荣获三等奖。她们在比赛中披荆斩棘，言展灵思，彰显福大学子的气度风范。
决赛辩题聚焦时事、放眼未来、立意高远、发人深省。比如：We Believe That the state and public universities should prioritize funding theoretical research over applied research，引导老员工思考不同科研路径、规划正确的人生道路，为个人价值的实现和国家社会的进步贡献力量。Assuming both morality and competence can be objectively quantified, We Prefer a world where people in managerial positions have strong morality and average competence over a world where they have strong competence and average morality，启发员工思考品德和才能的重要性，树立德才兼备的成才观，育人铸魂润物而无声。（付磊报道）
