Wu Di's face turned pale, and he nervously tugged at Lin Que's sleeve:

"Brother Que, could it be that old man Wang Shouyi has complained to the school?"

Lin Que patted his hand and stood up.

His face remained expressionless.

Under the worried gaze of his classmates, he slowly walked out of the classroom.

...

Principal's Office.

Jiang Changfeng, who is nearly 60 years old, is wearing reading glasses and scrutinizing the boy in front of him.

His expression was very gentle.

"Lin Que, come and sit down."

He pointed to the sofa opposite him.

"I called you here not to criticize you, but quite the opposite, to praise you."

Principal Jiang spoke with a smile.

I also read your article "Fireflies".

Professor Li Yuanchao even called me personally and spoke highly of you!

"They say you're the most gifted student Jiangcheng No. 1 High School has produced in the last ten years!"

"This is an honor for our school."

Therefore, the school has decided,

This is a major commendation for you, and you'll be awarded a scholarship of five thousand yuan.

Lin Que was somewhat surprised, but still nodded:

"Thank you, Principal."

"Hey, you deserve it."

Principal Jiang waved his hand.

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming earnest and earnest.

"Lin Que, your talent is evident to all in the school."

But that's precisely why we have an even greater responsibility to you, to protect this promising seedling.

He paused, his expression becoming more serious.

"Recently, there's a novel online called... 'Human World is Like a Prison,' you know it, right?"

Lin Que's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed just the right amount of bewilderment:

"I heard about it from a classmate; it seems to be very popular."

"Yes, it's very popular."

Principal Jiang frowned.

"But its content is very bad!"

I've heard from many teachers that after watching it, students became suspicious and disoriented.

It even affected their normal studies and daily life.

"Especially the latest episode,"

Openly mocking scholars and promoting the idea that studying is useless has an extremely negative impact!

Principal Jiang slammed his fist on the table in anguish.

"Lin Que, you have an active mind and your own insights, which is a good thing."

But you are still young, and your ability to distinguish right from wrong is still relatively weak.

They are easily influenced by this kind of sensationalist spiritual opium.

"I called you here today to remind you."

Your talent should be used in the right way.

Works like "Fireflies" that can spark controversy should be produced in fewer ways.

"In the future..."

Principal Jiang looked around until he saw the "New Tide" magazine on his desk.

"right!"

He quickly walked over, picked up the copy of "New Tide" from the table, and pushed it in front of Lin Que.

"In the future, I can be like this book, 'The Miracles of the Namiya General Store,' to warm people's hearts and bring them hope."

"This is true literature, something that can empower people!"

He looked at Lin Que with eyes full of an elder’s earnest expectations for a younger generation.

"You are a child with a bright future."

Don't let the random and confusing information online lead you astray.

You need to create more content and absorb more positive energy, okay?

Lin Que looked at the principal's sincere face.

Looking at the copy of "New Tide" in his hand,

Then I remembered his recent comments on "Human World is Like Prison".

A sense of absurdity welled up inside me.

He suppressed a laugh, stood up, and bowed solemnly to the principal.

"Thank you, Principal. I understand."

His expression was more serious and earnest than ever before.

"From now on, I will definitely sever all ties with this kind of spiritual opium, 'Human World is Like Prison'."

Take Teacher Jian Shen as a role model,

Study hard and make progress every day.

I will never let down the school and teachers who have nurtured me!
