Chapter 215 Transaction
Of course, Jimmy was not always so lucky. Once he was chosen to write an experimental report. This was certainly not just a matter of copying the experimental records. He had to write the principles and detailed results, the various factors that affected the experimental results, and finally summarize them in his own words.
If written carefully, it would be equivalent to a short essay with detailed arguments, and the spokesperson happened to be Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei reminded before leaving get out of class:
"Remember to give it to me before Thursday. That's plenty of time, right? It's one day longer than you gave me before."
Jimmy said disapprovingly, "That's not that difficult, it's just a lab report!"
Zhang Wei didn't believe his words. She had already prepared for the worst. However, if it was as she guessed, Zhang Wei would not let him go.
As expected, at 10 o'clock on Thursday night, Zhang Wei's email was still quiet. She checked her phone number and found the number marked "Big Teeth". After a moment's thought, she called Freckles again:
"David, Jimmy didn't send me the research report"
"It's no use telling me. Do you expect me to write it for him? I don't have any relationship with that fat guy!"
Freckles seemed to be playing games, and Zhang Wei heard the "dong dong" sound of keyboard typing.
"So if we come in last this time, you don't mind, right?"
When Freckles heard Zhang Wei say this, he laughed: "Oh, absolutely impossible. Would a King's Scholar who graduated from Devon College be willing to come in last?"
"Just accept your fate. Being in the same group with this 'balanced student' is our destiny. This time it's you, so you'll have to do it yourself. Next time it's my turn, I'll just have to blame myself for my bad luck!"
Results are indeed Zhang Wei's weak point. Freckles sounds like he is trying to convince Zhang Wei to accept reality, but Zhang Wei will not be fooled by him:
"You're also a celebrity in London's East End. Why? Are you afraid of a 'balanced student'?"
Zhang Wei was divided into a group of several people and was prepared. She still remembered that Hayat was an intelligence chief. Although they were not in the same school now, it would be easy to ask her for information.
Jimmy is a "balanced student". The so-called "balanced students" are special students admitted to highlight the equal rights of Oxford University, and the admission requirements are often lowered.
Because according to the normal proportion, 10% of Oxford students come from elite schools, 50% come from ordinary private schools of the wealthy class, and the last 40% come from public schools in relatively good school districts.
Only good communities can have good school districts, so only families with good conditions can attend good public schools. Therefore, in order to balance the student population, schools will have additional admission quotas, otherwise many ordinary people will have no chance at all.
The freckled boy is called David. Although his name is ordinary, he is a little "gambling king" among the big gangsters in the public schools in East London, and is quite famous.
"How disappointing! They knew my background so quickly. Didn't I pretend to be like that?"
Zhang Wei didn't want to waste time talking to him: "I don't want to discuss this with you. How about this, how about a deal?"
David then became interested and stopped playing the game and asked:
"Tell me about it!"
"Go and take care of Jimmy. Make sure he completes his assignment on time for the next group work. I'll pay you."
Zhang Wei thought about it and still felt that problems that could be solved with money were not big problems. She also really disliked Jimmy and didn't want to deal with him.
"Ten thousand pounds!" David Lion asked loudly.
"Are you robbing me? Then I might as well beat him into a pig's head myself and see if he writes! 5,000 for the price!"
David agreed immediately: "Okay, you are quite wealthy, five thousand is five thousand, I will give you the card number."
Zhang Wei continued, "Wait, the five thousand I mentioned is a total of five thousand. We're in the same group, and each of us will contribute one. I'm quite generous, so I won't give you any change. Anything over a thousand will be counted as two thousand!"
"Do you want to do it? If I say 2000, then it's 2000!"
David gritted his teeth and said, "You're awesome! I've sent you the card number. I'll handle it before noon tomorrow!"
Zhang Wei transferred the money without hesitation. A man like David who is half-gangster would not break his promise.
Sure enough, the next afternoon Zhang Wei received an email from Jimmy. Although the quality was not very good, it seemed that he had indeed written it. Zhang Wei saw that there was not much she could use, so she only kept the data of the experimental results and used her own for the rest.
At the moment, two thousand yuan doesn't seem to be worth it, but in the subsequent group assignments, Jimmy did complete his work. If he was occasionally slow, Zhang Wei would just send a text message to David, and he would definitely receive it after a while.
Therefore, in the long run, it is really worth it, because someone with a personality like Zhang Wei cannot tolerate that his grades are not excellent, and someone like Jimmy has a personality that is a bit like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. It is estimated that hitting him twice will not be of much use. Although he still wins easily now, there is nothing we can do about it. We can only blame him for being too lucky.
He won without doing his homework or without doing it, so everyone must have felt more comfortable because he could do it. Although no one knew what method David used to make Jimmy a little nervous in class later, the effect was good.
When David was in school, he still liked to wear gold-rimmed glasses and pretend to be weak. Zhang Wei scoffed at this and said he was a typical mentally ill person. Min was probably the only one in their group who thought that he was really a somewhat cowardly male college student.
Zhang Wei didn't care what they did the rest of the time, as long as they could complete the group assignment well and not hold her back.
The issue of the group assignment was finally resolved with the help of money, but Zhang Wei received another piece of depressing news - undergraduates could not participate in the research and development of any new drugs.
Because her major is divided into two directions at the graduate level - academic and clinical.
In other words, only after Zhang Wei applied for pharmacy (clinical) could he truly start to participate in the research and development of pharmaceuticals.
No wonder she didn't see a single undergraduate student in Dr. Wen's laboratory. Although they mentioned later that they could choose one, it was also a second-best option.
After Zhang Wei asked the pharmacy teacher, the teacher said that they would select a small number of undergraduates, but the admission would depend on the results of the sophomore final exam.
"Isn't it okay to be a freshman?" Zhang Wei could only ask.
"No, we didn't lay a solid foundation in all aspects of knowledge during our freshman year. We must be responsible for the lab."
Well, Zhang Wei once again realized that she was very grateful to her high school mentor, Professor Cruise, for being able to work in Dr. Wen's laboratory.
However, she felt embarrassed to go to Dr. Wen again.
Zhang Wei even suspected that he suggested that she apply to Magdalen College just to get rid of this burden...
