As soon as the counselor finished speaking, Jiang Manyue suddenly felt many eyes focused on her, most of them were well-intentioned, but there was only one that made her feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Manyue turned around and saw Zhou Xue hurriedly looking away and lowering her head.
Does she hate me that much?
Jiang Manyue was a little confused. She and Zhou Xue had no grudges at all. Why did Zhou Xue have such strong malice towards her?
Although she didn't understand, Jiang Manyue was still more wary of Zhou Xue.
After this thank-you letter incident, Jiang Manyue left a very good impression on the leaders of the Foreign Languages Department. They would think of her first when there were any activities, and she became a trump card of the English major.
Freshman year ended quickly, and Jiang Manyue received a first-class scholarship of one hundred yuan as the top student in her major.
One hundred yuan is not a lot of money for Jiang Manyue, but it is her scholarship and means a lot to her.
Jiang Manyue planned and allocated the hundred yuan, buying gifts for the four children, Li Guifen and Lu Lin.
At the beginning of the new semester of her sophomore year, Jiang Manyue studied more seriously. Her goal was to get a scholarship for all four years of college.
After entering the sophomore year, there are more activities related to the major. The teachers will occasionally give translation work to the students, which is also an opportunity to earn extra money.
Jiang Manyue is the teacher's first choice of translator. Her translation skills are much better than those of her classmates of the same period. Moreover, she can polish the translation well after it is translated into Chinese, which saves the teacher a lot of effort.
Because of this series of reasons, at the end of the first semester of her sophomore year, Jiang Manyue was selected as the only student majoring in English to participate in a large-scale translation activity with her teacher.
This is also because the school's translation team is not very sufficient, and Jiang Manyue's demonstrated ability is fully capable of doing the translation work, so she was made an exception and became a member of the translation team.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the major was shocked, because this translation activity was very important and the minimum requirement was that graduate students participate. No one expected that Jiang Manyue, a sophomore, would also be recruited.
Jiang Manyue didn't care about other students' attitudes when they heard the news. After all, she was recruited into the translation team based on her ability. If other people also had this ability, they could also be admitted as an exception.
But a few days later, a rumor spread throughout the Foreign Languages Department.
Jiang Manyue arrived at school on Monday morning. As soon as she walked to the dormitory door, she heard Cheng Nana throwing a tantrum inside the dormitory.
After spending such a long time together, Cheng Nana has basically gotten rid of her previous spoiled habits, and I haven't heard her lose her temper like this for a long time.
"What's wrong? Who messed with our Nana again?"
As soon as Jiang Manyue walked in and asked a question, Cheng Nana stamped her foot and yelled, "They're a bunch of despicable villains! They're jealous of your ability and being chosen as an interpreter. They're saying behind your back that you got in through the back door and have an improper relationship with the department leader!"
He Hui also said, "When we went to get water, we heard people talking about how Jiang Manyue, an English major, had an improper relationship with the department leader, and that's why she was specially selected for the translation team. Nana and I asked them where they heard it, and they all said they just heard it from others. That's what everyone said."
Cheng Nana was so angry that she kicked the stool. "They are just jealous! If they are capable, they can translate it themselves! They are incompetent and blame others for having backdoors. Ugh!"
Jiang Manyue was very calm. "Everyone is spreading it?"
Guo Aijuan nodded. "We could even hear it when we went to get water. It must have spread everywhere."
Jiang Manyue nodded to show that she understood, "Nana, please ask for leave for me from class later and tell me that I have something to do with the counselor."
Cheng Nana quickly asked, "Why did you go to the counselor? Do you know who spread the rumor?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "I don't know, so I have to go find the counselor. I have to find the source of this rumor. I want him to publicly apologize to me and compensate me for my mental damage."
Cheng Nana jumped up immediately. She wanted to go with them, but she had to go to class to ask for leave for Jiang Manyue, so she had to watch Jiang Manyue leave.
Jiang Manyue walked towards the dormitory building gate and indeed felt that many people were looking at her. She had felt it when she just came in, but for some reason she didn't pay attention to it. Now she realized that someone was spreading rumors behind her back.
Jiang Manyue ignored all these people's gazes and went straight to the office building to find their counselor.
The counselor had just arrived at the office and sat down when Jiang Manyue knocked on the door and came in.
"Teacher Zhang, I want to report a matter to you. Someone has spread rumors about me, accusing me of having an improper relationship with a department leader."
The counselor was shocked, "What?"
Jiang Manyue quickly repeated the rumors that Cheng Nana and the others had heard in the dormitory.
"My roommate heard a lot of people in the dormitory spreading this rumor, accusing me of having an improper relationship with a department leader, and using it as a backdoor to get into the translation team. I came to you to ask for your and other teachers' help in investigating the source of the rumor."
The counselor slammed the table after hearing this. "That's nonsense! Your joining the translation team was a decision made by the entire department's leadership! How could it be a backdoor decision?"
Jiang Manyue remained calm. "This incident not only damaged my reputation, but also the entire Foreign Languages Department leadership, so I hope the teacher can help me find the source of the rumor."
The counselor agreed without hesitation, but he had another question, "How can I help you? The rumor has spread so widely, it's hard to find the source."
"I hope the teacher can discuss this with the department head and tell him to investigate. If anyone knows anything, please write an anonymous letter of complaint and submit it to the teacher. I want to see if the person who spread the rumor will fan the flames again."
The counselor hesitated. "Will this damage your reputation?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "This is just temporary. When I find the source of the rumor, I'll ask him to make a public apology. I also hope that the teacher can announce the reason why I joined the translation team on the campus bulletin board."
The counselor thought about it and agreed, letting Jiang Manyue go to class first while he went to discuss it with the department leader.
Jiang Manyue nodded, turned around and went back to the classroom. After apologizing to the teacher, she sat next to Cheng Nana.
Cheng Nana's mind was not on the class at all and she was very anxious. When Jiang Manyue arrived, she immediately asked about how her visit to the counselor was going.
