The top twenty students in each grade were recruited by the three groups.
It's safe to say that everyone understands that Group 1 and Group 3 are clearly targeting Group 2!
"Then let's have students ranked 20 to 30 join our group," Ke Meiyu said with a relaxed attitude and a smile.
“But Yu Bao’er, the gap between the 20th and 30th place is huge compared to the top 20. We can’t have too high hopes. Besides, I don’t think they will necessarily join us.” Huo Chengfang sighed slightly.
"Why?"
"Well, the students in this ranking range are self-aware. They know that competing against the top twenty students is just to make up the numbers. They don't want to humiliate themselves," Xia Haifeng continued. "Some members of our group went to persuade them. At the time, everyone was thinking that participation is more important than winning. Regardless of whether we can get a ranking, we have to take it seriously, right?"
"But we were still rejected, and that was the reason the students gave us."
Ke Meiyu raised an eyebrow. "Then let's try again. If we can get it, we will. If not, we'll think of something else."
The two nodded in agreement and encouraged each other.
This time, Ke Meiyu didn't search for them one by one. Instead, she asked her classmates to notify each grade and class in turn. Any student who wanted to improve their grades, challenge themselves, or refuse to accept their fate could attend a short meeting at the Foreign Language Association office during evening self-study to decide whether or not to sign up for the foreign language competition.
The students who can attend this school are all outstanding individuals from their own region, and they all have an involuntary sense of superiority.
But compared to so many students at the university of science and technology, they instantly lost their luster and became as ordinary as roadside pebbles.
University is a crucible that shatters a person's confidence, self-esteem, and arrogance, and then pieces them back together bit by bit. It is a transformation and transition from student to society!
Ke Meiyu's words made everyone feel like cowards, and the fire of inner conflict could not help but burn.
It's just a short meeting, who's afraid of who? They were determined not to be stepping stones for others. As long as they held firm to this belief, they would do the same no matter who came. Therefore, although they were inwardly resistant, they all came to attend the meeting in an orderly manner.
Not only students ranked 20th to 30th, but also students from other ranking ranges came. All the students in Ke Meiyu's class were aware of what had happened and, out of support for her, all participated.
The event was so grand that it caused a sensation throughout the entire college and attracted even more people.
They also had to move from the small conference room to the auditorium of the outer courtyard.
Group 1, Group 3, and the top 20 students from each grade all watched with expressions of excitement.
The members of Group Two were nervous. The scene was too intense, and they were afraid of the awkwardness that would ensue when the students left afterward.
President Wang Xueying walked up to Group Leader Liu Biaobing and said with a hint of disapproval, "Not everyone can participate in foreign language speeches, especially since there's no hope of winning a prize. Participating in a speech is just a publicity stunt. You've gone a bit too far."
"The newbies are clueless, why are you, the team leader, also messing things up?"
She has always had a loud voice, and this time she didn't try to suppress it. At least the second group of people who were adjusting the sound equipment and setting up the tables and chairs, the group of people behind her, and the students sitting in the front row all heard her.
The members of the second group and the students in the front row all looked unpleasant, embarrassed, angry, and helpless, because what she said was true.
They couldn't help but wonder what they were doing here, and what they were persisting in.
How can the gap between people be narrowed so easily?
Ke Meiyu took the microphone directly, cleared her throat, and said, "Dear students, please find your seats and sit down quietly. Thank you for your cooperation. Our meeting will begin shortly."
The president glanced at her and said, "Ke, sometimes good grades aren't everything in school."
"I hope you'll think things through before you do anything, and stop torturing people. It's not a good feeling to give someone hope and then shatter it. You've brought so many people here; let's see how you handle this!"
"If the matter has a serious impact, Ke's punishment will not be as simple as leaving the club and losing credits; he may even face expulsion from school!"
One sentence left everyone else speechless.
They felt as if they had been doused with ice water; their fiery hearts instantly cooled down.
Yes, the situation outside is so tense; they could ruin their future with just a label.
Whether it's true or not, it all comes down to the president and his group, especially the members of Group Two. They can easily imagine that if the facts are distorted, the other students will try to shift all the blame onto themselves in order to clear their names.
It's not that they're exaggerating; that period of time is deeply ingrained in their bones, making them extremely wary!
They had seen the practice of calling a deer a horse before.
Ke Meiyu smiled faintly and said, "President, aren't you exaggerating? We just had a short, simple meeting to let everyone know the importance of foreign languages, and to talk about ways to improve them, and to encourage them. Even if there is any impact, it is in a positive direction."
"Does the president really think I could do anything outrageous in front of so many students?"
The president pursed his lips and sneered, "I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can come up with."
At this point, Wang Xueying glanced at the students in the auditorium. There were many of them, but the elite were all behind her, recruited by Groups One and Three. Don't underestimate the difference of only ten or twenty places; the higher the ranking, the harder it is to close the gap, sometimes even becoming an insurmountable chasm!
"How about we make a deal?" At this point, no one dared to utter the word "bet," so she said vaguely.
