But who would believe today’s students if they said that none of them had any illegal electrical appliances?
The teacher who leads the dormitory inspection cannot openly search the students' wardrobes or rummage through their personal belongings, but a report like Wan Zhi's is almost 100% certain, so as long as the inspection is a little stricter, the truth will be revealed.
For the teacher who checks the dormitories, she doesn't need to catch every student who uses illegal electrical appliances. She just needs to find one or two monkeys and make an example of them to scare the others, and the other students will naturally behave themselves.
Ding Ning said she was innocent but it violated school rules. She said she was not innocent but she was the only one caught during the dormitory inspection.
This inevitably made her heartbroken.
She is the junior sister of Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang. They have been together for so long that they have feelings for each other. Even if Ding Ning did something wrong objectively, based on personal feelings, the two of them will definitely favor Ding Ning.
The two of them hated Qi Yan's "stupid" behavior more than each other.
You said he did it on purpose, but that's definitely not the case. Qi Yan is simply straightforward and didn't think too much about it. He also didn't intentionally reveal Ding Ning's secret.
He is a member of my team, so it is not easy to blame him too much.
Qi Yan also realized that he had spoken without thinking, which had harmed Ding Ning's interests and caused her trouble. He lowered his head, his face full of guilt.
"Senior Sister Xiao Ding, I'm sorry... I..."
"Go away!" Xiao Ding cried loudly and didn't want to pay any attention to Qi Yan.
Zhao Xiaoshuang patted Ding Ning's back and comforted her patiently.
Ding Ning felt very aggrieved. He climbed up from the table and threw himself into Zhao Xiaoshuang's arms.
Zhou Mo also patted Ding Ning's back gently and slowly comforted her.
Ding Ning was so emotional that it was not easy for her to calm down. Zhou Mo saw Qi Yan standing there at a loss.
She also felt Qi Yan's embarrassment and confusion.
I guess he feels quite guilty about it too.
"Go to the conference room first," Zhou Mo said. "Let's talk to Ding Ning, okay?"
Qi Yan nodded and hurriedly explained: "Senior sister, I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect that the pot thing was so serious and would affect the scholarship selection."
"I know," Zhou Mo advised, "You go to the conference room first, and we'll have a good talk with Xiao Ding. She must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, and seeing you will probably make her feel even more uncomfortable. Wait until we've dealt with this, then come over. It's a good opportunity for you to think about how to apologize to Xiao Ding."
An unintentional mistake is still a "mistake". Just because you have no ill intentions and cause trouble to others, you cannot feel that you have done nothing wrong.
Qi Yan was wrong in this matter, and Ding Ning also did something wrong. Such bad results are never the result of a single link or a single reason.
Qi Yan wants to apologize for his "indiscreet words".
Ding Ning was also "punished" by losing the qualification for awards and honors.
Zhou Mo was most afraid that the two of them would not be able to figure out the division of responsibilities, and would then blame and accuse each other, ultimately making it impossible for the entire group to survive.
Just think about it, if two students in a group become sworn enemies, can this group still be good?
Once you join a group, you are in the same boat. You all have to rely on the research results of the group to support your graduation, instead of fighting and wasting time internally. Studying every day is not tiring enough, and you still have to endure the attacks from your classmates.
Are you tired?
Fortunately, Qi Yan said whatever he had to say and whatever he was thinking, without any other twists and turns. After coaxing Ding Ning, Zhou Mo talked to Qi Yan, and Qi Yan couldn't help but say how much he regretted his "mistake".
"How about..." Qi Yan thought for a moment and said, "How much scholarship can Senior Sister Xiao Ding get this time? How about I compensate her?"
"That's not the way to apologize," Zhou Mo said. "Doesn't Xiao Ding know that she violated school rules by using an illegal electrical appliance? She's mostly feeling regretful and self-blaming right now. If she hadn't used the rice cooker, you wouldn't have told anyone else about it, right? You should just visit her more often and express your apologies. She's just been having a rough time lately, and she's in a bad mood. You're just adding fuel to the fire, not extinguishing it. Once the fire in her heart is out, your oil won't stoke it."
Qi Yan nodded, not quite understanding.
Zhou Mo saw that the plaster on Qi Yan's hand was gone and asked, "Is your hand okay?"
"Much better," Qi Yan even twisted his wrist to show Zhou Mo.
"You saved Xiao Ding before," Zhou Mo said, "Xiao Ding will never forget this favor. Don't let Xiao Ding's bad mood affect your own mood."
"How could it not have an impact?" Qi Yan lowered his head shyly, "If she's sad, I'll feel bad too."
"Don't be like this," Zhou Mo comforted him, "Just do what you need to do. You came here to study, not to get bogged down in this kind of mess."
"Okay, got it."
Zhou Mo smiled with relief, "Usually you should be more considerate. How many mistakes have you made since you came here? Be more careful, okay? Hmm?"
Qi Yan scratched the back of his head, feeling very embarrassed. "Senior Sister, why are you saying the same thing as my brother?"
Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly, "In that case, you'd better listen to your brother. Experienced people can do you no harm."
"Um."
"You can read in the conference room first," Zhou Mo said. "You can come back to the office after lunch. You pay for Xiao Ding's lunch."
"Okay," Qi Yan smiled.
Zhou Mo originally thought that if she and Zhao Xiaoshuang stepped in to mediate, Ding Ning would not continue to argue with Qi Yan.
However, they still underestimated the stubborn temper of this little girl Ding Ning.
Before we even discussed ordering lunch, Ding Ning answered the phone. "Are you at the door? I'll be right down."
"Takeout?" Zhao Xiaoshuang asked.
"Yeah," Ding Ning responded and hurried downstairs.
Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at each other.
Well, I was thinking of Qi Yan inviting Ding Ning to dinner at noon, and finding an opportunity for the two of them to put aside their grudges and laugh it off.
It seems to be in vain.
Ding Ning walked in carrying a large bag of takeout.
Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang were both shocked. It turned out to be takeout from "Crab King House".
Ding Ning's big bag of things must cost at least more than one hundred or nearly two hundred yuan.
A lunch for one person, this level... is really luxurious.
Zhou Mo thought to himself that it was too expensive to spend twenty-five yuan on takeout on a normal day.
Looking back, Ding Ning was in a bad mood, so it was a good thing for her to order something expensive to comfort herself, make herself happy, and release some emotions.
Isn’t it better to have an appetite to eat than anything else?
Only when you are full will you have the energy to start over.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yan took the initiative and got a "family bucket" that was enough for everyone in the group to eat together.
Qi Yan came upstairs excitedly, carrying bags of takeout food from downstairs. "Seniors, I'll treat you all to lunch..."
As soon as he entered, Qi Yan saw a box of crabs on Ding Ning's table, and several boxes of exquisite dishes next to it.
