Chapter 165 Family Bankruptcy (2)
2
The fastest way to eliminate love-brain is to let the love-brain itself open its eyes and see the outside world.
It just so happened that Zhu Qingchen, as one of the persons in charge of the scholarship application and selection, needed a few students to help organize the application and submit it to his superiors.
He asked Yu Bai if he wanted to come.
Yu Bai's grades were average. He had always been hanging around Song Huaishu and had basically never participated in any school activities.
Now when Teacher Zhu asked him, he hesitated for a long time and finally nodded slightly.
It seems worth a try.
The young master from a rich family who was young and inexperienced in the world, was dazzled for a moment when he saw the poor student working outside. He thought the student was so strong-willed, extraordinary and special, and he loved him even more.
Zhu Qingchen just wanted him to see how other students in a similar situation to Song Huaishu handled their studies and part-time jobs, how they respected themselves and worked hard to grow step by step.
Zhu Qingchen believed that as long as Yu Bairen was not stupid, he would not be unmoved.
He quickly saw the difference between Song Huaishu and a student who truly respected and loved himself.
Zhu Qingchen found a few more students and asked them to come to the office to help.
Zhu Qingchen invited them to lunch and afternoon tea, and the students quickly became familiar with each other.
Before he knew it, Yu Bai hadn't bothered Song Huaishu for three days.
Yu Bai's life was fulfilling, but Song Huaishu was not so comfortable.
He got mad at Yu Bai because of the scholarship issue. Now Yu Bai no longer comes to see him, doesn't bring him breakfast, and doesn't order food at the restaurant where he works.
In Song Huaishu's opinion, it was obvious that Yu Bai was trying to intimidate him.
This has never happened before.
Song Huaishu felt inexplicably nervous.
On the last day of the application deadline, he couldn't help but open the dialog box between himself and his counselor.
He remembered that the counselor had sent him a scholarship application form.
result……
The file has expired.
So he opened the dialog box between himself and Zhu Qingchen again, and the file sent by Zhu Qingchen had also expired.
Song Huaishu was too embarrassed to ask other classmates, and even more embarrassed to ask the teacher. He searched through the student group and finally found the attachment on the school's official website.
He downloaded the application documents, glanced at them casually, and then opened the form and started filling it out.
As he typed, he couldn't help but look around.
It was eleven o'clock at night, and he waited until his roommates had gone to bed before opening the file.
After filling in the basic information, he planned to just write two lines in the student's self-introduction column and be done with it.
But at this moment, a roommate suddenly poked his head out from the end of the bed behind him.
"Song Huaishu, I'm going to sleep, your computer is a little bright..."
Song Huaishu was startled and quickly straightened up, trying to block the light from the computer, and frantically dragged the mouse to close the file.
But he forgot to save the file, and a "Save" dialog box popped up. He pressed the "X" button frantically, and the dialog box jumped wildly, but the page remained on the application form page.
For a moment, the only sound in the dormitory was the clicking of his mouse.
But this roommate had very good eyesight. He frowned, took a closer look, and without thinking too much, he shouted, "Hey? Song Huaishu, are you also going to apply for a scholarship?"
Song Huaishu threw the mouse in his hand onto the table, wanting to explode, but he still patiently responded, "Yeah."
When this roommate shouted like this, the others also raised their heads in a daze.
"Don't you have a rule of not applying for scholarships? What's wrong? Are you making an exception this time?"
"If you ask me, you really should have applied for the scholarship earlier. Your grades are so good, you should have gotten it. You could have also spent more time studying."
"That's right, you finally came to your senses. The scholarship money is quite a lot this time. You have to send it out quickly, the deadline is coming soon."
My roommate's tone was full of curiosity, without any malice.
But to Song Huaishu, that was not the case.
He cleared his throat and tried to steady his tone: "I didn't want to apply, but Young Master Yu got mad at me because of this matter, so I just sent an application as a way to appease him."
"I see." The roommates laughed and said, "This time our whole school is benefiting from you."
"Is this the legendary story that I hugged the whole school just to hug you?"
Song Huaishu tried to appear calm and cool: "Don't worry, I won't violate the principles. I'm just applying casually. I won't take your place."
"It's up to you. It doesn't matter if you violate the principles."
No one cares.
Song Huaishu then said two more sentences that made his remarks even more obvious, such as "I didn't want to," "I just wanted to please him," and "He was angry with me."
No one answered.
Slowly, the dormitory became quiet again.
Song Huaishu hurriedly filled out the form, sent it to the counselor's email address, and no longer cared about the matter.
That night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, feeling his heart pounding.
He couldn't help but think of the document he had just seen. The first prize was a full 30,000 yuan.
If he really took the ten thousand yuan, how would he explain it to his classmates?
If I have to go on stage to receive the award, it will be even more difficult to explain.
Moreover, if he took Yu Bai's money, Yu Bai would pester him even more in the future. What should he do?
With many fantasies in his mind, Song Huaishu fell into a deep sleep until the second half of the night.
*
The next day, there is a public class at 8 am.
Song Huaishu took a seat in the front row early and read a book with his head down.
Soon, he heard a familiar voice.
"Xiao Bai, I asked you to come out and play recently, why don't you come out?"
"I've been helping Teacher Zhu sort out documents lately, so I'm a bit busy."
"Didn't you hate doing this kind of thing before? What did Mr. Zhu ask you to help organize?"
"It's a secret. I signed a letter of commitment and can't tell anyone." Yu Bai said with a smile, "But Teacher Zhu is a very nice person. He treated us to milk tea and spoke very philosophically. Talking to him, I feel like my life has become brighter."
Song Huaishu was leaning over the table. When he heard Yu Bai's words, he couldn't help but clench the pen in his hand.
What a bunch of idiots. Zhu Qingchen is a teacher in the history department, and Yu Bai is a student in the finance department. Apart from public courses, how else do they have any other interactions?
It must be a scholarship thing.
A group of people walked into the classroom. Yu Bai was going to sit in the front row, while his friends were going to slack off in the back row.
After the two sides said goodbye, Yu Bai sat down next to Song Huaishu and greeted him: "Good morning."
Song Huaishu knew that in the next second, he would take out breakfast from his bag and put it in front of him.
So Song Huaishu moved to the side without even raising his head.
But today...
Yu Bai felt around in his bag and pulled out a book and a pen, nothing else.
Song Huaishu waited for a few minutes, but Yu Bai's breakfast did not arrive.
Although he never eats it, how could Yu Bai not bring it?
Is he still angry about what happened before?
Song Huaishu held the pen in his hand, and suddenly snorted coldly, saying sarcastically: "Young Master, as you wish, I should be the one who loses my temper, not you." After saying this, he picked up his things, separated from Yu Bai, and sat down at the next seat.
Yu Bai subconsciously wanted to follow, but this time, he just stood up, hesitated for a moment, and sat back down.
He had already told Song Huaishu that he did not put pressure on him, and the counselor and Teacher Zhu had also explained it long ago, but he just kept on harping on it and was still losing his temper.
That's really boring.
This was the first time that Yu Bai had such an idea about Song Huaishu.
Just at this moment, Zhu Qingchen walked in from outside the classroom holding his textbooks and breakfast: "Good morning!"
Yu Bai quickly turned around and responded with a smile: "Good morning, teacher."
Zhu Qingchen nodded. As there was still some time before class started, he sat down in front of the podium to eat breakfast.
The system asked: "Chenchen, do you think the protagonist wants a scholarship or not?"
Zhu Qingchen remained silent, and the system continued, "Although the original book said he didn't want it, why did he keep saying it in front of Yu Bai?"
Zhu Qingchen ate a bite of taro pie while drinking milk tea: "Whether he wants it or not will not affect the final result."
"Um?"
"The scholarship selection is absolutely fair and just. Yu Bai is currently very obviously biased. I will not let him participate in the democratic selection. I will select other students and teachers to participate. The standard for the protagonist and other students is the same in my opinion. If he can get it, he will get it. If he can't, he won't get it. I won't hold him back on such things. Everything depends on him."
"Not bad." The system was pleased, "Chenchen, you are becoming more and more like a teacher."
"Burp—" Zhu Qingchen burped, "The taro cake is really delicious."
*
Zhu Qingchen has been very busy lately, busy with classes and scholarship selection, and he doesn't even have time to watch cartoons.
According to the rules and regulations set by the school early on, he and several responsible persons randomly drew numbers among students who did not participate in the competition, and selected more than a dozen students from different majors and regions.
Another ten teachers were randomly selected.
Everyone participates in the scholarship selection together.
Of course, the initiator of this group, the president of Yu Group and Yu Bai's father, also participated in the selection with the group's secretary and employees.
After three days of selection, five days of statistics, and more than ten days of review by multiple leaders.
Finally, a month later, the school announced the list of winners.
At this time, the computer department was in class. A student was playing with his phone and saw the message in the group. He immediately told the classmate next to him: "Hey, check to see if you are on it."
The news spread quickly.
Song Huaishu sat in the first row as usual and vaguely heard the voices coming from behind.
But no one dared to remind him. After all, he was always diligent and serious, and no one dared to disturb him in class.
Song Huaishu hesitated for a moment, quietly took out his mobile phone and opened the message.
Counselor: [@Everyone, the list of winners of the Yu Scholarship selected last month has been announced. The list will be posted on the office bulletin board for seven days. Students who have objections can contact me at any time.]
【Computer Science Department Award List.zip】
【Kyoto University Award List.zip】
The list should be very long, so they are all compressed packages.
Song Huaishu sat forward and covered his phone with his hand, not wanting anyone to notice that he was looking at the list.
Downloading file...
Song Huaishu felt a little nervous for no reason, his heart was beating very fast, and even his palms were sweating.
He held his breath. Yu Bai liked him so much that he specially set up this scholarship just to make him happy. What should he worry about? It was just a formality.
He said no, but Yu Bai still forced it on him. Really...
After downloading, unzip the file.
Song Huaishu quickly opened the list and searched through it eagerly.
First class... Second class... Third class... Excellent...
No?
Song Huaishu suspected that he had read it wrong, so he quickly scrolled to the top and read it again.
…
Still no!
How could this happen? How could he be gone?
This is impossible! Isn't this Yu Bai's family's money? How could Yu Bai not give it to him?
Song Huaishu became a little anxious. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and flowed into his eyes, blurring his vision.
He swiped the screen of his mobile phone hard and tried to open his eyes wide. Several times he seemed to see his name and thought it was a false alarm, but when he blinked, his name disappeared again.
There really is no him!
Song Huaishu sat on the chair, his whole body went limp and he almost slid to the ground.
The teacher's voice at the podium came and went, lingering in his ears, while the students in the back row were talking very loudly. He subconsciously thought of his roommate who had discovered that he had submitted his application.
Were they talking about me? Why wasn't Song Huaishu's name mentioned?
——Didn’t he refuse to apply for a scholarship?
——He applied last time, we all saw him in the dormitory, but he was not selected.
——No way? He should have good grades, right?
Song Huaishu clenched his fists, and felt that the discussions of his classmates behind him were extremely noisy.
It seemed as if every sentence was talking about him.
Song Huaishu tried his best to restrain himself and not turn back to "stop" them.
Let them talk, just talk for a while. If he turns around and shouts, maybe he will always remember it.
He could no longer listen to the class. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, which made them chatter.
It must be Yu Bai, and that Zhu Qingchen who is causing trouble!
After class, he will go...
The bell for the end of get out of class rang at this moment.
Song Huaishu stuffed his things into his bag and rushed out of the classroom.
He was afraid that others would catch up and question him.
But in reality...
They either share their joy, congratulate the winning students, or discuss what to eat for lunch.
No one cares.
*
It must be Yu Bai who is behind this, it must be Zhu Qingchen who is seeking revenge!
Song Huaishu only felt the blood rushing up, making his temples throb.
He rushed downstairs, wanting to settle the score with Yu Bai, but he didn't know where to find him.
He never cared about Yu Bai, and didn't even know what Yu Bai's major was.
Normally he doesn't have to look for him deliberately, because Yu Bai is always by his side. But now that he wants to find someone, he can't find him.
Song Huaishu hesitated for a moment and simply walked towards the counselor's office.
As luck would have it, as soon as he arrived near the teacher's office area, he saw Yu Bai. Yu Bai and a group of classmates had just come out with small gifts in their hands.
Song Huaishu rushed forward and grabbed Yu Bai's arm: "Come here."
Yu Bai and other students helped to organize the application forms. Although they did not receive any salary, Zhu Qingchen bought them books at his own expense as a way of thanking them for their hard work over the past few days.
Suddenly, someone rushed up, grabbed Yu Bai, and walked out without saying anything.
Yu Bai was shocked.
"What are you doing?"
He turned around, waved to his classmates, and followed Song Huaishu.
I went around the corner and found a secluded place.
Song Huaishu tightly grasped his arm and asked in a low voice: "Master Yu, are you satisfied now?"
Yu Bai frowned and tried to pull his arm back: "What do you mean by satisfied? What are you talking about?"
Song Huaishu roared, "I didn't get your 'Yu Scholarship', are you satisfied now?!"
"What?" Yu Bai was stunned for a moment, "You didn't get selected?"
"Why are you playing dumb? You urged me to apply, and you had several teachers take turns putting pressure on me to apply. I had no choice but to apply, and what was the result?"
"And this is how you treat me! Do you think it's fun to tease me on purpose? Is this the game you rich people play? This is your rich people's trick, right? First you praise me to the sky, then you throw me heavily to the ground, letting everyone come to see my joke."
"Is this your game? This is your strategy? Okay, I admit that I can't beat you, okay?!"
Yu Bai looked confused and took a long time to figure out the situation: "You didn't get selected, so you think I didn't choose you on purpose? I didn't participate in the scholarship selection at all."
Song Huaishu put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Don't play dumb! That's your family's scholarship. It's up to you to decide who to give it to and who not to give it to. Are you satisfied now? Are you happy to see the joke?"
Song Huaishu's face turned red and his neck became thick, and he was gasping for breath in fear.
Yu Bai was so close to him that he could almost see his pores expanding and contracting.
So ugly.
Song Huaishu finally said, "Just wait, I won't let you succeed, I won't give in, I won't be your dog, I will write an email to report you right away, just wait!"
Having said this, he prepared to go back to write his email.
Suddenly, with a "creak", the window behind the two people was pushed open from the inside.
"Student Song, do you mean to doubt that the scholarship selection is unfair?"
Song Huaishu heard a familiar voice and turned around suddenly.
Zhu Qingchen was standing at the window, looking at him intently.
The students who were with Yu Bai just now were all in the office. They saw Yu Bai being dragged away and decided to come back to find the teacher.
this……
Zhu Qingchen's office is next door? Then, didn't Zhu Qingchen hear everything he just said?
Song Huaishu suddenly became a little flustered.
However, when he thought about the fact that he was a student fighting against "evil forces", he was no longer nervous.
Zhu Qingchen glanced at him and said calmly, "Come in and talk."
Song Huaishu stood up straight, tensing his back tightly. "No need. If Teacher Zhu wants to shut me up or bribe me, no need. I won't give in."
Zhu Qingchen held the phone and couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, let's talk about it here."
"Say it right here!" Song Huaishu's voice was loud and clear. "Teacher Zhu, I suspect there is something fishy going on in the scholarship selection!"
"Tell me your evidence."
"This scholarship was organized by Yu Bai's family. In order to suppress me, Yu Bai deliberately let me participate, but deliberately did not select me. Teacher Zhu had a talk with me before, and he kept saying that the selection was fair and just, but what was the result?"
Zhu Qingchen said: "I asked you to tell me your evidence, not your speculation."
Song Huaishu argued: "Isn't it evidence that I was not selected?"
"Yu Bai holds a grudge against me because I did not accept his pursuit; Teacher Zhu, you also hold a grudge against me because I do not accept your point of view!"
"You two teamed up to eliminate me from the selection. Isn't this evidence?"
Zhu Qingchen almost laughed out loud: "So you think that the selection is unfair because you were not selected?"
"Shouldn't I be selected? If I can't be selected, why would Yu Bai keep persuading me? Why did the two teachers want to talk to me?"
"We interviewed you because we were afraid that you might not have seen the notice and missed the event. That's all. It doesn't mean we can predict that you will definitely be selected."
"Impossible! With my grades, how could I not be chosen?"
Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "First of all, I want to tell you clearly that the selection of scholarships is strictly carried out in accordance with the school's rules and regulations. There is absolutely no shady dealings. Yu Bai only helped me organize the information, he did not participate in the selection."
Song Huaishu's mind raced: "That means he secretly hid my application! Or he went straight to his father and asked him to reject me!"
"Your guesses don't exist. We received your application. Dozens of students and teachers participated in the selection. The students requested to hide their names. The entire selection process was recorded. In the end, the scores were counted, and the scores were ranked and the names of the selected students were announced. The CEO of Yu Group has never contacted us privately."
"I've told you, there is absolutely no conspiracy." "I don't believe it! It's absolutely impossible!" Song Huaishu said with certainty, "Don't make excuses anymore, I will definitely report you!"
"Do you want to know why you weren't chosen? I have another form here."
Zhu Qingchen picked up his phone, opened the file, and swiped it twice.
"This time, the number of places allocated to the Computer Science Department is 20, with five places for each grade in four grades."
"The selection criteria are student performance and student situation. Among them, student performance is mainly based on student GPA, and student situation is mainly based on student self-description."
"From freshman year to now, your overall performance is fifth in the grade."
Song Huaishu clenched his fists and stared at Zhu Qingchen fiercely: "Yes, I am the fifth, and you still dare to say there is no shady deal?"
"But..." Zhu Qingchen changed the subject, "Your student's self-introduction was written in a very perfunctory manner."
"What?" Song Huaishu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Your student's self-introduction only has two lines of text. Not only is the basic formatting wrong, but there are also typos." Zhu Qingchen asked seriously, "Do you need me to read it out here?"
Song Huaishu remembered it without even having to read it.
At that time, in order to show that he didn't care in front of his roommates, he just wrote two lines and handed it in.
[My name is Song Huaishu. I was born in poverty, but I persisted in studying and achieved excellent results. I am grateful for the opportunity given by the school.]
That’s all.
Zhu Qingchen said, "Song Huaishu, your grades were originally hovering on the edge of being selected. Because your student self-introduction was too perfunctory, the selection committee will not give you a very high score. Do you understand what I mean?"
Song Huaishu said sternly: "I just don't want to expose my embarrassment. What have I done wrong? Is the selection meeting a 'misery-selling' meeting? I see. The other selected students must have written a long article, right? They must have..."
"Shut up! Please stop slandering other students!"
Zhu Qingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "The instructions issued by the school are very clear. The student's self-description is about the student's own feelings during the study process, not for you to 'sell misery'!"
"You filled out the form carelessly first, then slandered your classmates and distorted the facts. It's normal that you were not selected. Please reflect on your own reasons and stop blaming others."
"I told you in our last meeting, classmate Song, that you are not that special. You are just an ordinary student. No teacher or classmate has the time to target or attack you."
"If you still don't accept it, you can report me to the principal's mailbox or to the Ministry of Education. I and other responsible teachers are open and aboveboard and have a clear conscience!"
"Even if you don't file a complaint, I have recorded our conversation. I will also report this to the school! The school will decide who is right and who is wrong!"
Song Huaishu had hit a wall this time and his face turned pale.
He didn't expect that Zhu Qingchen was more difficult to deal with than Yu Bai.
Song Huaishu turned around and saw Yu Bai was about to leave, so he quickly reached out and grabbed him: "Don't go!"
It's like grabbing your last straw.
He knew that he should apologize to Zhu Qingchen now, otherwise, once Zhu Qingchen reported the matter, it would be all over.
But he couldn't open his mouth. He placed his hope on Yu Bai. He wanted Yu Bai to help him, but he couldn't open his mouth either.
Yu Bai pulled his hand back and said, "Student Song, please let go."
"Don't be angry, just think of it as my fault..."
Song Huaishu naturally refused, and Yu Bai pulled him back hard, wanting to leave.
Suddenly, Yu Bai was pulled by him and staggered, and the whole person tilted to the side and fell towards the rockery outside the corridor.
Zhu Qingchen opened his eyes wide, reached out from the window, and tried to grab him, but was too late to stop him.
Song Huaishu's face turned pale and he stood there in a daze.
It's over.
