Blue star.
Ruxu, China.
It was hot in Ruxu City in June, but Zhou Yu's heart felt as cool as if he had drunk Sprite.
Zhou Yu was unfamiliar with the city of Ruxu.
If it weren't for the internship, Zhou Yu felt that he would never have the chance to set foot in this unknown, 18th-tier county town in his lifetime.
Yes, Zhou Yu is currently in his internship period, and next year, Zhou Yu will graduate from Jiangcheng Normal University.
Although the city where Zhou Yu's university, Jiangcheng Normal University, is located, and the city where he is interning is both Jiangcheng, the two are incomparable in comparison. One is a first-tier big city, and the other is just a third-tier small city.
In comparison, Zhou Yu would rather stay in Jiangcheng, where his university is located, and teach in any school, rather than teach in a high school in a shabby town in a small fifth-tier city that no one knows about.
That's right, Zhou Yu was arranged to intern at a high school in a small town under Ruxu City, a county-level city under Jiangcheng.
Zhou Yu carried his suitcase and boarded the urban-rural bus. After a difficult one-hour ride, he arrived at the small town called Xuguang Town.
After Zhou Yu arrived in Xuguang Town, he checked the map and found that the bus terminal was about two kilometers away from the high school where he was interning. So Zhou Yu had to call a motorcycle taxi nearby to reach the high school where he was interning, Wuzhou Middle School.
Zhou Yu dragged his suitcase and looked at the tattered gate and the four big characters "Wangzhou Middle School" inlaid on the wall next to it. Because a point of the word "five" was broken off, it became "Wangzhou Middle School". Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh.
The reason for sighing was not anything else but that he was not supposed to be the person who came to this school for internship.
Zhou Yu’s thoughts went back to 10 days ago.
Ten days ago, Zhou Yu, who was still in school, was confidently waiting for his instructor to announce the list of students for this internship.
"Old Zhou, is the internship list this time fixed?" Zhang Dewei, his roommate, joked, "Let's not talk about Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School, at least No. 11 Middle School is a sure thing, right?"
Another roommate, Ma Shaomin, immediately interrupted, "No. 2 Middle School? Aren't you looking down on Old Zhou too much? It has to be No. 3 Middle School at least!"
Hearing his roommate's jokes and compliments, Zhou Yu's mouth corners unconsciously raised.
Zhou Yu looked around and found that the attention of the students around him was all focused on the counselor who was reading the internship list on the podium. Then he quietly raised three fingers and made a 'three' gesture to his two roommates.
Zhou Yu was able to know where his internship was going thanks to the information provided by his counselor Wang Sheng. Zhou Yu, who always had good grades, was also a good person and had a good relationship with most of his classmates and teachers.
So after the internship list came out, Zhou Yu and counselor Wang Sheng inquired about it, and Wang Sheng also revealed a little to Zhou Yu in private.
On the podium, Wang Sheng continued to read the internship list.
"Wang Luoyi, Luzhou No. 6 Middle School, Anhui Province;"
"Zheng Hanhan, Chengdu No. 8 Middle School;"
"Zhao Xuemei, Huacheng No. 13 Middle School;"
......
As the names on the list were read out one by one, Zhou Yu became more and more anxious.
"Why haven't you mentioned me yet?" Zhou Yu said in a low voice.
Ma Shaomin, who already knew where to go, consoled her, "You already know the internship arrangements, so just wait patiently. Are you still worried about something going to happen? That's impossible!"
But Ma Shaomin absolutely didn't know that his words were like those of an old general on the stage, who had put flags all over Zhou Yu's back and established his position.
"Li Xuemin, Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School;"
"Zhou Yu, Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School."
As soon as counselor Wang Sheng finished speaking, Zhou Yu's face immediately turned pale.
Ma Shaomin and Zhang Dewei on the side also looked at Zhou Yu with incredible eyes, as if to say, how is this possible?
Wang Sheng, the counselor on the podium, closed the blue folder in his hand expressionlessly after reading the list, and said seriously, "Okay, I have told you all the intern lists, and there will be a formal document for you later."
"If any students are dissatisfied with the school's arrangement, they can talk to us privately and provide written documents to tell the school that they have already found an internship unit, so that they can choose not to go to the internship unit arranged by the school."
Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the podium, didn't hear a word of what counselor Wang Sheng said next.
The school that Wang Sheng had just mentioned kept repeating in his mind.
'Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School'
'Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School'
Zhou Yu stared at the podium with lifeless eyes, muttering to himself, "Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School, isn't this Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School? How did it become Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School?"
Ma Shaomin noticed that Zhou Yu was not in a good state and quickly comforted him, "It's okay, Zhou Yu. Although we have never heard of this Ruxu Wuzhou Middle School, it's just an internship unit! It's not official!"
Zhang Dewei also chimed in, "That's right! Besides, didn't the instructor say that if you don't want to go, you can contact the internship unit yourself! If you are really not satisfied, we can just find one ourselves!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu came back to his senses.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Find an internship unit by yourself? Who would give you an internship if you don't have some connections?
His parents are just an ordinary pair of working people. How could they have the connections to help him find a good internship?
At this time, the counselor Wang Sheng on the podium packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Seeing Wang Sheng preparing to leave, the others immediately crowded around Li Xuemin and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Xuemin! You can get into such a good school as No. 3 Middle School!"
"That's right! I didn't expect you could get into No. 3 Middle School. Li Xuemin, you're amazing!"
Facing the compliments from his classmates, Li Xuemin said complacently, "It's nothing. I'm just going to No. 3 Middle School for an internship. It's not certain whether I can stay here!"
"Your family is from here, and they are well off! If you perform well in school and use your family connections, you can stay here!"
Zhou Yu, who was not far away, didn't care about all this at all. His eyes were fixed on Wang Sheng who was about to leave the classroom.
Seeing that Wang Sheng’s figure was about to disappear, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, stood up and chased after him.
Even if I die, I have to die with a clear mind. I want to figure out why my internship unit changed!
Zhou Yu chased after him and saw Wang Sheng walking in the corridor. He quickly chased after him and called out, "Teacher Wang!"
When Wang Sheng heard someone calling him, he stopped there, turned around and looked back.
When Wang Sheng saw that the person coming was Zhou Yu, he sighed.
"Zhou Yu, you don't need to say anything." Wang Sheng saw Zhou Yu was about to speak and stopped him directly. "I know what you want to ask."
"Originally, you were indeed arranged to intern at Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School," Wang Sheng sighed when he saw Zhou Yu's slightly red eyes, "No. 3 Middle School did have a quota, but later, No. 3 Middle School asked to change the list. Do you understand what I mean?"
After saying that, Wang Sheng patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, turned around and left.
Zhou Yu did not say anything else, nor did he chase after Wang Sheng. He just stood there, staring blankly at Wang Sheng who was walking away, as if he was watching his future going away.
Finally, Zhou Yu felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell straight down.
