Chapter 440: Thank you for your encouragement!
Chu Yao returned to the dormitory.
When I opened the door and went in, only Yan Qian and Mo Shan were inside.
Yan Qian was talking excitedly: "With these 50,000 yuan, I won't have to ask my family for tuition in the next few years..."
Mo Shan also had a smile on her face.
But the moment he saw Chu Yao come in, he immediately glared at Yan Qian fiercely.
Yan Qian was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
Mo Shan quickly walked to Yan Qian, grabbed her arm, and lowered her voice: "Shh, let's talk outside."
At the same time, he glanced at Chu Yao suggestively.
Then he half-dragged and half-pulled Yan Qian out of the dormitory and closed the door.
They all behaved like this, and Chu Yao could definitely see that they were planning some conspiracy.
It also involves 50,000 yuan.
Otherwise, why would he be so nervous, afraid that she would hear it?
-
There was no one in the woods outside.
Only then did Mo Shan let go of Yan Qian's arm, with a look of disappointment on her face!
"Are you stupid? What are you yelling about in the dormitory? What if Chu Yao hears you?"
Yan Qian smiled and said, "You're making a big deal out of nothing. The League Secretary will definitely inform everyone in a while, and she'll know."
Mo Shan frowned. "Our school doesn't have many spots for this competition. It would be a big deal if only three or four teams from the entire college were selected. If we both knew about it a day in advance, we'd have one more day to prepare!"
"Also, what if Chu Yao overhears us discussing the topic in the dormitory and submits it as her own application? Or what if she tries to sabotage us?"
"We either don't do it, or we must get the 50,000 yuan that comes with first place!"
Yan Qian: "You are too ambitious. I don't even want to win a prize. After all, all college students in the country have to participate. I just want to get some credits for the sunshine."
It's just that simple.
The National College Student Documentary Competition is coming soon.
The competition requires teams of two or more to participate, with a maximum prize of 50,000 yuan, and many smaller prizes.
But because all universities across the country participate, including those majoring in directing, it is very difficult to win an award.
However, as long as the submitted topic is approved, you can get extra credits regardless of whether you win the award or not!
Although Mo Shan has withdrawn from the student union, she still has connections there.
So she knew about it before the document was officially issued.
So she came back and invited Yan Qian, who had no major conflicts with her, to form a team to participate in the competition.
Mo Shan's goals are not consistent with hers.
"I'm here to win the award anyway! You can join me in a group and take advantage of me without doing any work, but just don't spread the word and hold me back!"
When she thought about the fact that half of her roommates received scholarships but she didn't, she was so angry that her hair was falling out every day.
So I must get the money this time!
Seeing how ambitious she was, Yan Qian didn't want to discourage her: "Okay."
Mo Shan: "Let's start discussing the topic now."
-
The official document was not released until a week later.
Mo Shan and Yan Qian prepared for a week in advance and immediately signed up and submitted their topics.
They were indeed the first group selected from the entire academy.
Chu Yao then realized that the 50,000 yuan that Mo Shan was afraid she would know about was this.
She and Mo Shan had another fight these days.
The reason was that Mo Shan left her computer on when she went to the bathroom.
Chu Yao came back and saw at a glance that she was chatting with Xu Ge on the screen.
Only then did I realize that she had been telling Xu Ge about her own affairs.
Now the grudge between the two of them is getting bigger and bigger.
They cursed at each other, but Chu Yao felt that the insults did not hurt Mo Shan at all.
It's very easy to hurt her.
She feels uncomfortable when she sees others working hard.
This kind of personality is her biggest retribution.
So Chu Yao decided to work harder to piss her off to death and went to self-study every day.
Sometimes I want to relax and watch cartoons, but as soon as I see Mo Shan come back, I jump up and study!
As for this competition, she also wants to sign up.
She told Zhu Huan about this: "Let's participate too. Even if we don't win a prize, we'll still get credits."
Zhu Huan immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I want to get a scholarship next year, and I will definitely participate in any activities that have credits!"
Chu Yao nodded: "Me too. I've been checking a lot of major news that happened this year. A few days ago, there was a news report about a woman who jumped off a building after giving birth. It's worth our attention."
Zhu Huan: "I've noticed this too. The woman was in so much pain she needed a caesarean section. She even knelt down and begged her mother-in-law and husband, but they wouldn't let her. So she jumped off the building, resulting in two deaths."
"It's said that the family and the hospital are still arguing over who's responsible. The family blames the doctors, nurses, and midwives, all of whom were there, but why no one was watching the woman in labor, and why the windows weren't designed to prevent her from jumping off the building."
"The hospital said the root cause was why the family members didn't respect the mother's wishes..."
Now when they talk, they both feel heavy-hearted.
In this case itself, the most pitiful people are the deceased and the child who could have been born into the world.
In the end, no matter who is responsible, the hospital will pay compensation, and the money will go to her husband...the deceased will get nothing.
Zhu Huan sighed: "Why can't mothers decide whether to have a cesarean section or not?"
Chu Yao said, "I asked my boyfriend for advice. Actually, there are already laws that stipulate that mothers can decide for themselves whether they are conscious or not."
"But the reality is that... if the doctor completely ignores the family's advice and only listens to the mother, some family members will cause a scene at the hospital. It can be quite terrifying, with some even resorting to online violence against the doctor. This creates a situation where even having laws in place is effectively useless."
"I think a documentary on this topic could start with this case, and then focus on issues such as doctor-patient conflicts, the family signature system, and maternal autonomy."
Zhu Huan: "Okay!"
The two hit it off and started preparing immediately.
-
A few days later, the two people submitted their topic and it was selected.
Yan Qian and Mo Shan are going to make a documentary about migrant workers demanding their wages.
It has nothing to do with what Chu Yao and the others did.
So now discussing it in the dormitory is not so confidential anymore.
Chu Yao was adjusting the SLR camera in her hand, and Zhu Huan was waiting for her beside her.
The two of them planned to go out and take some trial photos later.
This is to avoid problems and delays during the actual shooting.
Yan Qian saw it and asked, "Chu Yao, did you borrow your SLR from a friend?"
Chu Yao: "No, I rented it online. It's that second-hand platform. You can rent it after paying a deposit."
"OK, thanks."
Yan Qian went to discuss with her teammates again, "Let's rent one too."
Mo Shan glanced at Chu Yao's SLR camera: "I just searched it, and the ones that are decent require a deposit of over 10,000 yuan. What if it breaks?"
Yan Qian was also a little worried. After thinking for a while, she said, "But if I use my phone to take pictures, it won't be good enough for this kind of competition. I'll just be a runner-up. By the way, doesn't the senior you met at the senior association have a DSLR?"
Mo Shan shook her head. "Is it so easy to owe favors? Treating him to a meal costs money. And his equipment is just average... What about you? What can you do? We're a team, you can't let me take on everything."
Yan Qian: “…”
Why do I vaguely remember that Mo Shan said at the beginning that she would do everything and I just had to not hold her back?
Chu Yao was forced to listen for a while.
After adjusting the camera, he left quickly with Zhu Huan.
Competitors, although they started early.
But by this point, they had already begun to unravel internally and the pace had slowed down.
They are no longer worthy of being his opponents.
-
When they got outside, Zhu Huan took the initiative to ask, "How much deposit did you give for the SLR? We'll split it in half. If it breaks and the deposit is deducted, we'll split it in half as well."
Chu Yao smiled slightly: "I'll tell you a secret."
