—Story Synopsis—
The Great Liang Dynasty had well and truly fallen.
As the rebel army approached the city gates and the capital was on the verge of collapse, the idle Prince Shen Sh...
Chapter 127 Chapter 127 1st update
When Zhang Jiaojiao met Shen Moli's gaze, she turned her head away guiltily, but soon she straightened her chest. What she said was all true, not made up, so what was wrong?
She clearly heard all those words praising Shen Moer, but she never stood up to refute or clarify, which shows that this person is vain.
When Zhang Jiaojiao came to the capital this time, she was nearly abducted by human traffickers on the train. She was so frightened that she was in a trance for several days.
She has a cousin who lives in the capital. Her cousin and her mother grew up together and have a very good relationship. This time she came here early to visit her cousin's house.
Her family originally wanted to send her here, but her parents couldn't take so many days off, and the fare from Southern Province to the capital was not cheap, so in the end the family discussed and decided to let her come by herself. Anyway, her cousin would pick her up at the train station, and Xu Chengyi would be there with her.
Who knew something would happen on the train?
After Zhang Jiaojiao woke up, the police told her the whole story, educated her, and told her that she should thank Shen Moli.
Even Xu Chengyi said so, saying that if it weren't for Chen Moer, she would have been sold to the mountains by the kidnappers to become the wife of a fool.
At first, Zhang Jiaojiao was also scared and grateful to Shen Moer, but after hearing these words more, she felt that Shen Moer did these things and got some benefits. The police even said that they would write a letter of praise to Shen Moer's school.
The police sent a stamped letter of praise to the school. What does this mean? It means that during college, no matter what honor Shen Moli strives for, she will have more advantages than others. Shen Moli's life may change from then on. She will receive various honors and will get better assignments after graduation.
I was just lucky and used a few tricks to deceive those stupid human traffickers, and thus I started on the road to success in life.
Zhang Jiaojiao felt that she didn't actually owe Chen Moer anything.
Instead, she felt that Shen Moer should thank her. After all, it was her unfortunate experience that made Shen Moer successful.
However, Zhang Jiaojiao never expected that Shen Moli was also from Capital University and was even her classmate.
Zhang Jiaojiao felt very uncomfortable when she thought that she had thought the son of the human trafficker was a professor of the Economics Department of Capital University, and that she had let down her guard and been deceived in order to get a little care, while Shen Moli was able to easily get what she desired.
Fortunately, the police promised her that they would not mention her name in the commendation letter.
Zhang Jiaojiao felt a little regretful when she thought of this. She shouldn't have exposed Shen Moer on impulse. What if she got angry and revealed her own affairs?
Zhang Jiaojiao was a little nervous. She pricked up her ears and listened for a while. When she didn't hear Shen Moer talking, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Moer didn't know that Zhang Jiaojiao's inner thoughts were so rich. She heard what Zhang Jiaojiao and Feng Manni said, but she didn't take this kind of gossip to heart at all.
Mainly to a certain extent, what they said was true, and Shen Moer didn't think there was anything wrong with her coming from a small rural county. The emperor of this world has been overthrown, and she, who used to be a princess, doesn't think she is noble. Could it be that people from the capital are nobler than people from small rural counties?
Shen Moer has been in charge of such a large factory over the years, and she has long since mastered the art of cultivating her qi, and she is too lazy to bother with Zhang Jiaojiao and Feng Manni.
"You are from the Southern Province, I am from the Hai Province. The train from our place to the capital passes through your Southern Province."
The male classmate sitting at the same table had dark skin and rolled his eyes when he smiled. He spoke to Shen Moer curiously.
There are a total of 40 students in this class, 25 boys and 15 girls, which happen to be odd numbers. When Shen Moer didn't come, he was the only one sitting alone.
"By the way, my last name is Jin, and my name is Jingui, which means rich." The male classmate scratched his head and introduced himself.
Shen Moer laughed and said, "My name is Shen Moer. Your name is quite festive."
Jingui scratched his head again: "Yeah."
At this time, a young man with slightly high cheekbones and glasses walked into the classroom. He stood on the podium and glanced at the audience. Seeing that everyone was already there, he smiled and said, "I am your counselor. My name is You Yonghua. First of all, congratulations to all the students here for becoming the Class of 77 of Capital University."
You Yonghua doesn't look very old, but he speaks in a pretentious tone. After singing in a high-pitched voice, he got to the point and asked everyone to stand up and introduce themselves in turn.
This class of college students is very special. The age range of the candidates taking the exam is very wide. Most of the students in their political economy class are older, with the oldest being 32 years old. However, there are also younger graduates who are only 17 years old.
The older students all had rich resumes. Some had been middle-level cadres in government agencies, some had been branch secretaries of brigade teams, some had been workers, and some had been educated youth...Shen Moli, the deputy-division-level director of a state-owned factory, was not even the highest-ranking one. Another male comrade named Yu Xiangnong, the oldest one, was originally a division-level cadre in a provincial-level agency.
The young classmate who was whispering before couldn't help but whisper again at this time: "Oh, I didn't notice it just now, this classmate Yu looks more like a teacher than classmate Shen Moer. No, no, no, he is not a teacher, he should be the Dean of Academic Affairs."
"There are really many talented people in our class. Shen Moer is so young, but she has been the director of a state-owned factory for several years!"
"Who just said that he came from a small mountain village in the county? Well, that doesn't stop him from becoming a factory director."
Zhang Jiaojiao was not far away. Her expression, which had already looked bad after hearing Shen Moli's self-introduction, turned even pale.
Shen Moli didn't say what factory she was the director of, nor did she mention her rank. She just mentioned it briefly when talking about her work experience. Zhang Jiaojiao picked her fingers and thought that it must be a state-owned enterprise with only a few workers.
This kind of enterprise is not a state-owned factory at all, at best it is a collective economy. However, in order to sound better, many people always say that they are a state-owned factory when they go out.
After introducing himself, You Yonghua directly announced the list of class committee members: "Now everyone is not familiar with each other, these students will work for one semester first, and then we will hold democratic elections again next semester."
Yu Xiangnong was undoubtedly elected as the party branch secretary. The class monitor was a male classmate named Guo Qi. Shen Moli was promoted to deputy class monitor. In addition, there were organization committee members, propaganda committee members, youth committee members, etc. Feng Manni was elected as the propaganda committee member.
After announcing the list, You Yonghua said, "By the way, there is one more thing. The school received a letter of praise from the public security department. Comrade Shen Moer from our class cooperated with the train police to capture four human traffickers. Let's applaud Shen Moer!"
All the students in the class applauded and looked at Shen Moer in surprise, only Zhang Jiaojiao lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
Jingui gave a thumbs up: "Student Shen, you can cooperate with the police to catch criminals while riding a train, that's amazing!"
Shen Moer smiled: "It just happened."
Afterwards, You Yonghua mentioned that military training would start in the afternoon, emphasized discipline, and then announced that everyone could move freely in the morning.
After You Yonghua left, Wu Yanan took the initiative to run over and greet Shen Moer: "Student Shen, are you going back to the dormitory?"
On the first day of class, Shen Moer didn't want to be treated specially and planned to eat lunch in the school cafeteria.
Xiao Liangliang has started to eat complementary food now. In addition to complementary food, she also drinks milk powder. So there is no need to worry about the little one being hungry, but she will feel a little uncomfortable due to her milk engorgement.
Shen Moer packed up her things, stood up and said, "Thank you for calling me, let's go together."
Wu Yanan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she whispered, "You're welcome."
A 30-year-old female comrade with short hair and a square face came over and said with a smile: "Comrade Shen, I'm Yuan Lan, we're from the same dormitory, let's go together."
When this female comrade introduced herself, she said that she was previously the female secretary of the brigade. She had led the brigade members to win the local advanced production model brigade for three consecutive years. Shen Moer was deeply impressed by her.
With her, there were several other female comrades, all of whom were in the same dormitory as Shen Moer. The one who was good-looking but had a dull expression was called Lin Yiqing, the one who smiled very enthusiastically was called Guan Qianqian, and the one with rough skin and a bitter look was called Wang Sanchun.
Shen Moer recalled her previous self-introductions. Lin Yiqing was a native of the capital and had previously worked in a district office. Guan Qianqian was from Hebei Province, which was close to the capital, and had previously worked in a state-owned factory. Wang Sanchun was from Jiangsu Province, but she was an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the northwest.
Wu Yanan came from the countryside, the descendant of three generations of poor peasants. Normally, she would have been able to hold her head high in those days, but in fact, when she left the land that raised her and first arrived in the big city, she was very timid and at a loss.
Feng Manni is from Shanghai. When she introduced herself, she neither mentioned her work experience nor her experience of queue-jumping. She was quite mysterious.
There are seven people in total, and there is one person missing in their dormitory.
Shen Moer couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence that I was not only in the same class as Zhang Jiaojiao, but also in the same dormitory with her, right?
Yuan Lan had great appeal, and even Feng Manni followed the crowd reluctantly. After thinking about it, Shen Moer felt that it would be more reasonable if the last roommate was Zhang Jiaojiao.
Fortunately, Yuan Lan quickly explained to Shen Moer: "There are fifteen female students in our class. Eight of them are arranged in the dormitory next door, and seven are arranged in our dormitory. There is one bed left, which is arranged for a female student from the Department of Philosophy. You will see her when you go to the dormitory later."
Shen Moer was quite happy that she didn't have to share a dormitory with Zhang Jiaojiao. She was really a bit annoyed.
When they arrived, the dormitory door was open. There was a girl with short hair sitting cross-legged on the bed below Shen Moer near the door. When she heard the sound, she looked up towards the door.
Seeing the appearance of this female classmate clearly, Shen Moer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's you!"
The female classmate wore a pair of black-framed glasses, had an oval face and big eyes. She was the girl who helped Shen Moli call the train police on the train.
The situation was chaotic at the time. They were each taken away by the police for questioning. Not long after the questioning, the train was about to arrive at the station. Shen Moer was in a hurry to go back and meet up with Shen Shaoyuan and the others. She only said thank you from a distance and didn't even have time to ask the girl's name.
The girl with black-framed glasses was also very surprised and jumped off the bed holding a book: "It's you!"
Yuan Lan asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"
Shen Moer briefly recounted what happened on the train before: "I was alone at the time, and it was hard to tell if there were any accomplices of the human traffickers around. If you hadn't called the train police for me, I'm afraid the human traffickers would have taken advantage of the chaos to run away."
The girl with black-framed glasses is called Mi Yu. She looked at Shen Moer with sparkling eyes, blushed, and said embarrassedly: "The public security comrades also sent me a letter of praise. Our counselor read the letter of praise in class today, asking everyone to learn from me and made me the branch secretary. Obviously, I didn't do anything. I just went to call people. It was actually you, classmate Shen, who was brave and resourceful. You are really amazing. At that time, I thought you really lost the bracelet like everyone else."
He was so smart that he stepped forward to remind her. Mi Yu felt ashamed every time he thought about it.
Why didn't I realize the deep meaning behind Shen's seemingly unreasonable behavior at that time?
The others listened to their experiences on the train with great interest. Even Feng Manni, who climbed onto her bed and made the sheets immediately, couldn't help but look at Shen Moer frequently.
Yuan Lan was a straightforward person and quickly figured out something was wrong: "So it was actually you, classmate Shen, who discovered the human trafficker. You could even say that you caught him? Then what Counselor You said about you cooperating with the police to catch the human trafficker is not accurate."
Mi Yu only helped to call people, and the police also sent her a letter of praise praising her highly. It doesn't make sense that Shen Moer, who made the greatest contribution, just said lightly, "She cooperated with the police to catch the human traffickers, right?"
The police cannot do this, so the only problem is what You Yonghua mentioned.
In fact, Yuan Lan, who has rich experience in grassroots work, felt that something was not right with the assignment of class committee members just now.
It is reasonable for Yu Xiangnong to be the party branch secretary, but it is a bit puzzling that Guo Qi, who is young and has nothing special in his resume, is the squad leader.
Shen Moer didn't say what size state-owned factory she worked as the director of, but Yuan Lan knew it well. Even in a state-owned factory in a small county, the director was a section-level cadre. If Shen Moer and Guo Qi were compared, it was obvious that Shen Moer was more suitable to be a squad leader.
Not to mention that the public security agency had just sent her a letter of praise.
Didn’t you see that Mi Yu was directly appointed as the branch secretary?
Even if we take a step back, Guo Qi actually has no advantages compared to other class committee members.
It’s just that Shen Moer, who used to be a factory manager, can only be a deputy monitor, and others don’t think much about it because they think they are not better than her.
But now Yuan Lan couldn't help but think more.
Everything is afraid of comparison. The more importance the counselor of Mi Yu's class attached to the letter of praise, the more perfunctory You Yonghua was towards it.
Yuan Lan did not say everything she was thinking, but the mere fact that she said "the statement was inaccurate" was enough to make people think about it.
Wu Yanan nodded: "It seems so. Mr. Shen deserves the main credit, right?" She looked at others unconfidently.
Guan Qianqian's eyes flickered, she smiled and said, "Maybe the counselor didn't pay much attention to it."
Lin Yiqing took out a book as if it had nothing to do with her. Wang Sanchun pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but remained silent.
Feng Manni sneered and said meaningfully: "There is no absolute fairness in this world."
Shen Moer smiled: "These are all trivial matters. If the counselor read the letter of praise in front of the whole class, I would feel quite embarrassed. Besides, I didn't save people in the first place for the sake of getting praise."
"I have a daughter of my own, and I can't just watch the traffickers take her away. If that were to happen, the family would be so heartbroken."
As for the class committee matters, Shen Moer was naturally clear about it.
She didn’t mention her rank when she introduced herself, but it must be in her file, and there’s no way the counselor couldn’t have missed it.
It is obvious that whether it is making her the deputy monitor or downplaying the letter of praise, You Yonghua's purpose is to make Guo Qi's role as monitor more legitimate.
I don’t know what the relationship between him and Guo Qi is, or where this Guo Qi comes from.
But Shen Moer didn't want to care about it for the time being.
She would be more than happy not to be the monitor. As for the nominal deputy monitor, she is still breastfeeding, so it is a good opportunity for the monitor to experience more things in person and get some exercise.
Simply put, she just wanted to lie down and didn't want to do the work of a class committee member, so whether she was the class monitor or not was left to You Yonghua.
