Chapter 256 Class Assignment Bet
It's one thing to film a promotional video, but to do it with the most handsome guy in the academy, Bai Chenwu, is another one!
Wen Xiaoxiao gave him a look, and Li Jing immediately stood up and said to Han Fei, "Director, isn't this selection of personnel too hasty?"
Han Fei raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How was it rushed?"
Under the watchful eye of the head of the teaching department, Li Jing felt inexplicably uneasy.
But when he thought that this was a great opportunity to show off in front of Wen Xiaoxiao, he immediately straightened his chest and said loudly, "First of all, as you just said, Director, please raise your hand if you want to film a promotional video. Kong Wange did not raise her hand, which means that she has the idea of giving up filming."
"Secondly, so many girls raised their hands, yet they didn't even have a chance to show their abilities. Wasn't it inappropriate to simply choose a passive candidate?"
"Yes, yes," one of the girls who thought she was pretty immediately chimed in, having just raised her hand.
Li Jing was a little smug; he said it on purpose to win over more allies.
After a pause, he added, "Finally, the promotional video represents the image of our college. I think we should consider both appearance and overall strength. If someone only has a pretty face but poor grades, it will be a disgrace to our college if netizens find out."
It must be said that Li Jing's eloquence was truly remarkable; this last point he made did indeed shake Han Fei's resolve.
He had reviewed each student's information beforehand. He remembered Kong Wange; she had entered the academy with a score of tenth in the "Ling Shu Competition".
Such a result is indeed not good.
Seeing Han Fei's hesitation, Wen Xiaoxiao pretended to be considerate and said, "Director, you don't need to be in a difficult position. I have a good suggestion."
"Oh?" Han Fei casually pointed and said, "Then tell me about it."
Wen Xiaoxiao stood up: "Director, as far as I know, every year after the freshmen enter the college, there will be a preliminary assessment. Based on the results of this assessment, the freshmen will be divided into two classes, the experimental class and the regular class, right?"
This was actually the main point Han Fei wanted to make at today's freshman meeting. He nodded with a puzzled look and said, "That's right."
Wen Xiaoxiao continued confidently, "How about this: if Kong Wange can get into the experimental class in the later assessments and her grades are in the top ten, then she will be chosen to shoot the promotional video. If she can't get into the top ten in the experimental class, then I suggest we take a comprehensive view and choose a different candidate."
These words immediately garnered support from several people.
Han Fei turned to Kong Wange and asked, "Classmate Kong, what do you have to say about this student's suggestion?"
Kong Wange had so much to say.
She's still completely baffled; she has absolutely no interest in filming a promotional video.
He then went along with it, saying, "Director, I think... there's no need for all that trouble. I'll give up and just choose another one."
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Wen Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Kong Wange, what do you think? You're not scared, are you? Well, with your talent, you wouldn't even get into the experimental class, let alone the top ten. If I were you, I'd just give up now."
Kong Wange: "..."
Wen Xiaoxiao really keeps dancing in her own minefield.
Who does she think she is? How dare she laugh at her in front of everyone?
With a change of heart, she changed her words and said, "Director, I think Wen's suggestion is excellent, and I accept the challenge."
After saying that, she turned to Li Jing and said, "Excuse me, I want to clarify that I didn't mean to not raise my hand just now. My hand was numb, so I raised it slowly."
Li Jing was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "Shameless."
The filming of the promotional video has now come to an end.
Next, the head of teaching affairs talked to everyone about some precautions and details regarding the class placement assessment.
As for the assessment questions, to ensure fairness, they will be announced on-site during tomorrow's assessment.
In addition, Han Fei briefly explained some of the rules and regulations of the Imperial Academy.
After the meeting ended, it was already past 11 a.m.
Today was registration day, and there were no classes. Apart from the boarding students, the day students didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so some students left one after another.
Kong Wange also packed her things and headed out, but as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a group of people pointing and whispering about a boy walking over from a distance.
"Wow, look, isn't that senior Bai Chenwu?"
"Yes, he's so handsome! He's exactly the kind of boyfriend I've always dreamed of!"
"Is this high-caliber senior in a relationship?"
"We talked about it."
"You're still so agitated after we talked?"
"His wife is like a needle in his hand!"
"What?"
"You don't know? Senior Bai Chenwu is obsessed with acupuncture. He sleeps with needles in his hand every day. His roommates all say that he should marry those needles as his wife. He just smiles and doesn't argue. Don't you think those needles are his wife?"
This remark was met with laughter from those around him, and then someone said, "Then I think I still have a chance. I'd be happy to be a mistress like that."
Hearing the conversation among the group, Kong Wange subconsciously glanced at the man as well.
He had thick hair, with wispy bangs casually falling across his forehead. He had fair skin, double eyelids, and a gentle appearance.
Despite the many people around him talking about him, and some even being quite rude, he didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded and smiled at them.
"Oh my, that smile really warmed my heart!"
"Senior Bai is so gentle!!"
"Waaaaah, I want to get married!"
Seeing a bunch of girls swooning over her, Kong Wange shook her head and quickly left.
Back at the Wen family home, she first went to see her uncle and gave him another treatment. She was busy all afternoon, and it was already dark after dinner.
She returned to the courtyard, took a shower, changed into a simple cotton nightgown, and went to the vanity to do her skincare routine.
The stars twinkled outside the window, and with the window open, I could hear the cicadas chirping.
Although the Wen family was a ruthless and cunning family, she still quite liked the layout of the courtyard.
The weather tonight was unusually mild, with a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of the green trees outside, giving her a fleeting illusion of being back at Peony Residence.
She couldn't help but think of Murong Ting again.
She had just saved him, and his first reaction upon regaining consciousness was to pull out a knife and approach her.
Her neck.
He was covered in blood, not only had his head broken, but his back was also cut nearly six inches long by sharp rocks on the cliff, but he seemed not to feel the pain, his whole body tense, as if he wanted to kill her at any moment.
Later, she had to prick his acupoint with a needle before he would behave.
Kong Wange couldn't help but chuckle at the thought; that night, it seemed, was just like tonight, with a subtle fragrance wafting through the air and a fishy stench filling the room...
Wait, the smell of blood?
Kong Wange realized what was happening, closed her eyes, and took a careful sniff.
Yes, it was indeed the smell of blood, though very faint, but as a doctor, she was still very sensitive to that smell.
She quietly stood up from the dressing table, a needle in her hand, and followed the scent to the window, then pushed it open.
