Chapter 81: After School
The discussion of the final exam results did not end with the departure of Professor Yao. On the contrary, because of the professor's departure, the discussion about grades in the classroom became louder and more intense.
The focus of everyone's discussion is exactly what the professor just mentioned, the difference between the credit grade point and the test grade point, for the students of Jiuyou College, whether they should give up the credit grade point and only use the test grade point as the basis for ranking.
Because Zheng Qing's grades were a little embarrassing - his test grade points were not ideal, but his credit points were very high, and he belonged to an atypical nine-class student - so when everyone was talking, he could only smile and remain silent.
As the saying goes, the more reason is discerned, the clearer it becomes, but in real life, the more reason is often debated, the more chaotic it becomes.
There are always many people who distort opinions, appeal to emotion, change concepts, or use leading questions, use the words of authoritative figures, etc., and so on, pouring layers of colorful paste on an otherwise clear argument.
Zheng Qing only listened for a short while, and after everyone's discussion shifted from 'the disadvantage of GPAs' to 'the righteousness of the Divine Will and the Blood Friends War', he decisively gave up continuing to pile up a fake smile on his face, and instead turned his attention to the final exam paper at hand.
He still remembers Xiao Xiao's reminder to him during the winter break - at First University, there are three things that should never be touched: unethical experiments, fights between clubs, and an interview with the Beta Post.
He'd already come across an interview with the Betatown Post, and while the negative effects hadn't yet been felt, the young wizard was ready for anything. At times like these, it's wise to stay away from the struggles between the clubs at school.
Like him, Xin Fatzi, who was originally enthusiastic to participate in the debate, also returned to his seat with no interest after the topic of discussion shifted to the conflict of the community.
"I thought you'd be interested in this kind of thing. Zheng Qing raised his eyelids and glanced at the fat man while sorting out the scroll in his hand, and his tone was slightly surprised: "Aren't these community things good news material?"
"Then it must be published!" The fat man rolled his eyes, rubbed the cover of the notebook with his fat palm, and said sullenly: "College contradictions, club contradictions, etc., this kind of discordant content has always been a forbidden area for the school newspaper...... We are not the Beta Post, and we cannot pursue gimmicks unilaterally for financial gain. We are a newspaper with a bottom line. ”
Zhang Jixin's short laughter came from the side, and he seemed to think that the fat man's answer was very interesting.
Seeing that the two were about to start tearing up again, Zheng Qing hurriedly opened his mouth and asked a question he had just remembered: "Do you remember that when we were in the North District some time ago, a reporter named Pulitzer interviewed me......
"Ms. Pulitzer," Fat Xin corrected, shaking his stubby fingers, "Ms. Pulitzer of the Betatown Post, her surname is Pulitzer, not Pulitzer." ”
"Yes, yes," Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, not wanting to entangle with the fat man in this detail, but continued to ask: "That Ms. Pulitzer's previous interview...... Do you know when the interview report will come out?"
Hearing this question, Fat Xin was speechless for a while.
He hugged one hand to his chest, curled up with the other, pinched his thick chin, and the fat on his cheeks shook several times before he replied slowly: "Generally speaking, a simple interview can be released in about a week...... If she needed to process the material, it would be a month at the latest. In other words, in these two weeks, the newspaper you are looking forward to will appear in front of your eyes. ”
Zheng Qing sighed deeply.
"I wasn't expecting to see that interview. He muttered in a low voice, "Later, when I thought about it, I didn't answer some words very carefully...... The school is so messy now...... Relatively speaking, I would have preferred that the editor-in-chief of the Betatown Post would kill that interview. ”
"Hah, it's impossible to kill it. An exaggerated smile appeared on the face of the fat man Xin: "Do you know who you are?, a public scholarship student of the Nine Universities Academy, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, and the Mr. 'World' of Grand Arcana...... What better gimmick could there be for a media reporter?"
Zheng Qing's face was gloomy, and he folded the packed rolls in two, stuffed them into a gray cloth bag, and then stood up.
"Talk, I'm going to eat in the cafeteria. He patted his belly and squeezed through the hallway to leave the classroom.
Seeing him leave, several other boys from the Sin Hunting Team also packed up their things and left.
Because today is the first day of school and the first class, the students who have not been seen for a long time have a lot of gossip to talk about. In addition, when Lao Yao left the classroom, he left a topic that was very discussed, so it had been more than ten minutes since the end of class, and there were still many figures dangling in the classroom, and the voices were endless.
Most of the witches sitting in the front row did not leave.
It's just that unlike in class, Nicholas slipped from the corner of the back row of the classroom to the front row, and sat next to Liu Feifei, and the two were discussing the final paper with their ears and temples. It can be seen that after a semester, he has let go a lot, and he has the courage to sit next to Liu Feifei and is not afraid of gossip.
Of course, it is more likely that Nicholas scored well in the final exam, with an average grade point of three or above, and a B+ in the overall ranking, according to this ranking, there is absolutely no problem for him to be promoted to the second grade this year.
Zheng Qing felt that this achievement gave Nicholas the confidence to sit next to Liu Feifei.
and Jiang Yu, who was tilting his head and staring at Li Meng's little classmate with a stern expression to revise the test papers.
Seeing Li Meng flattening her mouth and reluctantly copying the contents of the scroll, Zheng Qing was so happy that he wanted to step forward and squeeze her twice. But looking at Jiang Da Squad Leader sitting next to Li Meng, he suddenly remembered what Su Shijun had said before, and a thrill in his heart immediately lowered his head, intending to float silently in front of the witches.
But reality always plays a joke on you at times like these.
He intended to slip away from the witches quietly, but the others didn't have the idea.
Especially Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin, every time they see Li Meng, they will always say two words.
"Yo, Mengmeng, I'm still revising the volume, do you want to bring you lunch?" Xin Fatzi followed behind Zheng Qing, and couldn't wait to squeeze to Li Meng's side, looking like a pig brother.
The quill pen in Li Meng's hand clicked, and the tip of the pen was crushed by her on the notebook.
Even Zheng Qing felt the thick, dark clouds above the little witch's head.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, block the light of Meng Meng's question!" Zhang Jixin pushed hard behind the fat man and shouted: "It seems that someone uses you to bring lunch...... What you eat, heavy oil and heavy meat, can you eat it?"
Li Meng pressed her hands on the desk and didn't look up, but the hair behind her was already windless, and a terrifying wave of magic fluctuated on her.
At the same time, her gloomy voice rang in everyone's ears:
"How many times have you said that, you can't call me by my name!!"
