Zhang Zhihe is optimistic about Chu Yu. As long as Chu Yu performs normally, becoming the top scorer shouldn't be a problem. At that time, the media in Deyang will definitely interview Zhang Zhihe, and Zhang Zhihe will naturally have to prepare his clothes.
"Teacher Zhang, right? We are staff members from the provincial TV station. We contacted Principal Ji beforehand and wanted to interview Mao Xia."
Zhang Zhihe really hadn't realized that Mao Xia had this talent.
Mao Xia writes good essays and often gets high scores, but her essays have a very artificial feel to them. You can tell at a glance that they are written using a template and are full of official jargon.
Zhang Zhi teaches mathematics and doesn't particularly like this style.
He liked Chu Yu's essays because they were substantial.
Deyang Middle School hasn't produced a Tsinghua or Peking University student for many years. The Education Bureau is putting pressure on Principal Ji, as the school is facing considerable difficulties in student recruitment. Principal Ji wants to take this opportunity to promote Deyang Middle School.
Since Principal Ji had spoken, Zhang Zhihe naturally had to cooperate. He quickly went up to shake hands and said, "Hello, I am Mao Xia's homeroom teacher. The principal is waiting in the office. He will arrange for you to go to the playground for the interview during the break later."
Thank you for your cooperation.
During the break between classes, Zuo Ran sidled up to Chu Yu with a look of amusement, "What did Mao Xia do to you? Why are you making that face?"
Chu Yu ignored him. Mao Xia was called up, and Chu Yu took Chu Xiang's hand and followed.
Zhang Zhihe was stunned for a moment.
"Chu Yu, what brings you here? Today is an interview with Mao Xia, it has nothing to do with you." After all, she was his student, and Zhang Zhihe was afraid that she would overthink it, so he whispered, "Mao Xia's novel has been published, and the provincial TV station is here to interview her. If they were to select outstanding student representatives, the teacher would definitely choose you. Don't overthink it, go back first."
Chu Yu smiled, glanced at the television station's cameras, and said:
"Teacher Zhang, that book wasn't written by Mao Xia, so what qualifications does she have to give an interview?"
"She didn't write it? Chu Yu, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Zhihe thought she was jealous of Mao Xia's talent. He had taught a student before who was good in all aspects, but was very jealous. Because she was jealous that her roommate scored higher than her in the exam, she actually poisoned her roommate, causing her to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and miss the college entrance examination that year.
Zhang Zhihe had long since noticed that Chu Yu and Mao Xia's relationship was not very good.
Although Mao Xia has many flaws, she wrote the book, she is talented, and the school is willing to support her. Chu Yu's nonsense will only damage the school's reputation.
In front of so many people, Zhang Zhihe knew what was important and called Jiang Qilue to take Chu Yu back.
Chu Yu stared at Mao Xia's face and said coldly:
“Teacher Zhang, I’m not making this up. This book was written by my younger sister, Chu Xiang. She’s a second-year high school student at Deyang Middle School. She submitted the manuscript to her deskmate’s father, who is also the president of Deyang Publishing House, President Luo. President Luo reviewed the manuscript, but it was intercepted halfway by Secretary Zhao, the Party Secretary of the publishing house, who changed the name to Mao Xia. This book has absolutely nothing to do with Mao Xia.”
There was a microphone at the interview location, and her voice reached the students' ears, causing an uproar throughout the school.
Mao Xia was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. "Teacher Zhang, don't listen to her nonsense. This is my book. She's from the countryside, how could she know what Gangcheng is like? My father often travels for work, and I heard a lot about Gangcheng from him, which is why I wrote the story in Gangcheng."
Zhang Zhihe wavered. Mao Xia was right. Chu Yu and Chu Xiang were both from the countryside, and their knowledge was definitely not as good as Mao Xia's.
How could Chu Xiang possibly know what Gangcheng is like?
Chu Xiang frowned. "I think you're talking nonsense. You say you wrote the story, so let me ask you, what's the female lead's birthday?"
"It's... June 30th."
"It seems you've memorized my book very well. Now, let me ask you, what does the female lead look like?"
"Her skin was like porcelain, her features were bright but not aggressive, she was tall, and she had excellent grades, especially in math and English. She was a character I created, so of course I remember everything about her!"
Mao Xia was full of confidence. What was it to her if she could recite the book from memory and describe the heroine's birthday and appearance?
Chu Xiang thought that this would stump her, but she was wrong.
Chu Xiang sneered: "Then let me ask you, why did you set the female lead up like this?"
"There's no reason why, it's just the creation of characters."
"Then let me ask you again, how did you write that doggerel in the book?"
There is a limerick in "The Businesswoman" that the female protagonist wrote to mock the male protagonist when she met him at a party. Mao Xia can recite the limerick but cannot tell you its origin.
Mao Xia stammered, "I just wrote it down casually, there's no need for so many questions."
