Chapter 70 Jingshan
Xue Miaoyun and Li Muzi stated their positions, and then Xue Miaoyun left on the grounds of being hungry.
"I didn't expect these seniors to be so insidious, especially Xiao Yixiao. They look like decent people, but they bully us freshmen." Li Muzi was indignant.
Xue Miaoyun shook her head. "It may not be Xiao Yixiao's idea. He is a smart man and he seems to have a good background. There is no need for him to offend others when he is about to graduate. It will not do him any good."
People like Xiao Yixiao would never do anything that has no benefit.
"Who could that be?"
"I don't know. It has nothing to do with us. But if someone could trick Xiao Yixiao, he must be either very deep-minded or very close to Xiao Yixiao. Sometimes the people who stab you the hardest are those who are close to you."
"Yes, Miaoyun, you know a lot. Is this how it is among the wealthy families, confronting each other?" Li Muzi was curious.
"No, where there are people there will be fighting, and the same is true where there are interests. The reason why the rich and powerful give people this feeling is because they are involved in greater interests. In fact, ordinary families also have this phenomenon, with brothers fighting for property and sisters fighting for favor. And not all families are like this. The family tradition and education are very important."
"These have nothing to do with us. Let's go eat. I'm hungry."
The next day, Xue Miaoyun and Li Muzi went to the classroom hand in hand. They are just freshmen, and they are basically studying basic courses, attending classes one at a time. There are very few elective courses.
As soon as we entered the classroom, everyone was sitting in groups of three or four. The strange thing was that some people were not studying as hard as before. Instead, they gathered together and talked about something.
Xue Miaoyun and Li Muzi looked at each other and looked for Wen Ya and Zhou Tinglan.
"This way."
The two of them sat in the empty seat next to Wen Ya.
Wen Ya glanced at the two of them and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
As the eldest sister in the dormitory, Wen Ya is very concerned about her two younger sisters, but she still has some complaints about their somewhat slack attitude towards studying.
"We've eaten." They both nodded at the same time.
"Sister Wen Ya, what are they talking about?" Li Muzi couldn't keep anything hidden in her heart, so she asked whenever she had any questions.
Wen Ya didn't answer, but Zhou Tinglan on the other side came over and gossiped, "You don't know, it is said that something went wrong at the social gathering between our department and the law school yesterday. It was very unpleasant. Hey, I saw Muzi asking the counselor about this matter before. Did you go?"
Xue Miaoyun opened the book and looked at it, looking as if she didn't want to participate.
Li Muzi's mouth twitched. It was this matter again. If he had known, he would not have sat here. Curiosity kills.
"I went there and stayed for less than five minutes. I'm not used to that kind of occasion." Li Muzi curled his lips and opened his book.
"If you really went, then do you know how the commotion started?" Zhou Tinglan didn't realize that Li Muzi didn't want to talk, and her eyes were shining as if she wanted to hear gossip.
"There was a quarrel?" Li Muzi was surprised. "Why did they quarrel? Was it a quarrel or a fight? Miaoyun and I left early. We were hungry, so we went to eat."
"Don't you know?"
"Didn't I tell you that we left after not staying for long because we couldn't adapt. I'm not a masochist. I won't stay in a place I don't like."
"That's a shame. I didn't get to see the excitement. I heard there was almost a fight."
Xue Miaoyun looked at Zhou Tinglan who was speaking happily, and exchanged a glance with Li Muzi. They were both relieved that they had dodged quickly yesterday. This is a sensitive period, and if the school wants to set a typical example, the result will probably not be good.
Xue Miaoyun's worries soon came true. The morning class went smoothly, but in the afternoon, the news was announced on the school radio. All the students who caused trouble yesterday, no matter which side they were on, received punishment. There is no law that does not hold everyone accountable, there is only reckoning. When you read out that string of names, you can really see the warning from the school.
"It is said that no matter whether they participated or not, anyone who was present was punished."
"...Yes, they will make a note of it in the file. We won't be able to assign tasks properly after this."
"…Freshmen are okay, we can work hard to eliminate them, but seniors, I'm afraid it will be bad from now on."
"The freshmen aren't much better..."
"No, why is the school so cruel this time? There are so many people..."
"I heard that it was not the school that handled the case. Someone above gave the order. Otherwise, they would not have handled so many people. The school would not dare to do so."
"That's even worse..."
"What do you think? The school had already reminded them to behave themselves, but they didn't listen. They even held a cocktail party. That's capitalism. They deserved the punishment."
"That's not the case. We are in the capital. We may encounter such cocktail parties again in the future. We should get familiar with them now to avoid embarrassment in the future..."
Listening to their classmates' discussions, Xue Miaoyun and Li Muzi remained silent.
"Miao Yun, it's a good thing you left yesterday, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I will never participate in such an event again." Li Muzi was scared. If this really left a mark in her file, what future would she have?
Xue Miaoyun glanced at her and said, "Don't be afraid, it will pass. Once you decide on the direction you want to go, your life will get better and better."
Just wait and see, once the national policy of reform and opening up is officially established, their lives will become much more relaxed.
Li Muzi: "Miaoyun, I think you know a lot. I will listen to you from now on."
After the recent shock, Li Muzi felt that following her friend was a good choice.
"I'm just speculating based on some newspaper news. We are students, so we just need to study hard. If we have spare energy, we can find a part-time job and earn more money. If you can buy a house in the capital in the future, it will be a good thing for you regardless of whether you will develop in the capital in the future." Xue Miaoyun said this sincerely.
Li Muzi heard it, she knew Miaoyun had bought a lot of real estate in the capital.
"I understand. I'll definitely do my best."
The school was very peaceful in the days that followed, and the method of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was very successful. Everyone's attention returned to the textbooks.
And there was a mid-term exam at school.
After the results came out, Xue Miaoyun received a certain amount of attention. First in the department.
Others were fine, they just thought Xue Miaoyun was not only good-looking but also good at studying. More people look up to her.
But Wen Ya and Zhou Tinglan, who shared the same dormitory, were a little surprised. In their opinion, Xue Miaoyun's study was not as hard-working as theirs, and many times they felt that she was not focusing on her studies at all. But when the test results came out, they were so far behind, which was a little hard to accept.
