Zhang Ye was rebuffed, his face flushing red, but he forced himself to endure it, as he was very afraid of causing any more trouble. However, he couldn’t eat much more.
In contrast, Zhou Yining was still eating her chicken leg.
The chicken leg was flavored with soy sauce, and Zhou Yining had sprinkled chili powder on it.
She was enjoying it immensely. After she finished eating, she left with Fu Yuanke.
Seeing that Zhou Yining completely ignored Zhang Ye, Fu Yuanke only nodded at Zhang Ye before quickly following Zhou Yining.
They returned early, and there was still nearly an hour before the afternoon classes. Zhou Yining decided to take a nap.
After she fell asleep, the other two roommates returned.
Seeing that Zhou Yining and Fu Yuanke were already asleep, they didn’t make too much noise, and the dormitory quickly quieted down.
At 1:45, Zhou Yining got up and quickly washed up before heading to the third floor.
Their training classroom was on the third floor. The fourth floor was the girls’ dormitory, and the second floor was the boys’ dormitory.
To prevent accidents, the third floor separated them and prevented boys and girls from going to each other’s dormitories.
When Zhou Yining and Fu Yuanke arrived at the classroom together, the front seats were already taken.
A total of 54 people were participating in the training this time. Looking ahead, only the last two rows had seats left.
Zhou Yining shook her head with a smile. As expected of good students, they all rushed to take the front seats.
She and Fu Yuanke went straight to the second-to-last row and sat down in the middle. Zhou Yining quite liked this location.
If the teacher’s lectures weren’t interesting, she could do something else.
Soon, a male teacher in his forties entered the classroom. The male teacher looked around at everyone and said,
“My name is Zhang Jianzhong, and I’m your composition instructor for these seven days. You can come to me with any questions. Our training time is actually quite tight.
On the last day, we’ll set aside a whole day for the exam. Only the top five will be eligible to participate in the provincial composition competition on August 25th.”
“Of course, if you win an award in the composition competition, you’ll receive a bonus. The first prize winner will receive a bonus of 50,000 yuan; the three second prize winners will receive 20,000 yuan each, and the eight third prize winners will receive 5,000 yuan each.
It’s still pretty good if you can win an award. Cherish the opportunity. Okay, I won’t waste any time. I’ll start by explaining some theoretical knowledge.”
As Zhang Jianzhong spoke, he began to lecture. Zhou Yining listened for a while and could tell that Zhang Jianzhong knew a lot about composition, but Zhou Yining already knew all these things.
Therefore, she directly started to slack off and continued to write her long novel outline on scratch paper.
Fu Yuanke was stunned. She didn’t expect Zhou Yining to be able to slack off and do other things during this kind of training. She was truly a remarkable person.
Zhou Yining didn’t care and continued until six o’clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Jianzhong finished explaining the common types of compositions.
He then signaled the students to go eat.
Of course, they still had to attend evening self-study until 8 o’clock.
The specific task was for them to digest the knowledge points from the lesson themselves.
She and Fu Yuanke took their books directly to the cafeteria. After listening to lectures all afternoon, even though Zhou Yining had been doing her own thing, she was still tired and hungry.
She took a lot of food in the cafeteria. The best thing was that the cafeteria was serving meatball soup that night.
Zhou Yining liked to eat meatballs, so she took a full bowl of soup. She ate the dishes and drank the soup, feeling very comfortable.
If she couldn’t see Jiang Xizhi here, Zhou Yining wouldn’t want to leave. This all-inclusive life was too comfortable.
Soon, Zhang Ye came over. Perhaps Zhang Ye paid more attention to his image.
Zhou Yining glanced at him and noticed that he seemed to be wearing a different outfit than in the morning.
However, Zhou Yining didn’t care much; he was just a stranger.
Because of the forum post, Zhang Ye wasn’t on good terms with these students.
Even with his roommates, Zhang Ye didn’t want to be with them. Of course, they didn’t want to be with him either.
In the end, Zhang Ye reluctantly sat down at Zhou Yining’s table again.
Zhou Yining ignored him the whole time, eating her meal by herself.
She had to admit that she really loved the meatball soup here.
After eating, Zhou Yining left with Fu Yuanke.
They took a walk in the yard to digest their food before going to the classroom for self-study.
The teacher supervising self-study was the male teacher who led the team.
The students in the classroom were all top students from various schools, so he didn’t have to worry about them.
Everyone was reviewing according to Zhang Jianzhong’s requirements, except for Zhou Yining.
Zhou Yining was writing her novel outline. Before long, Zhou Yining had filled an A4 sheet of paper.
Fu Yuanke was curious and asked in a low voice, “What is this?”
Zhou Yining smiled at her, “It’s nothing, something I need to do for work.”
“Oh, oh.” She just asked out of curiosity and quickly went back to doing her own thing.
At eight o’clock in the evening, self-study ended on time. The team leader reminded everyone,
“After self-study, everyone is not allowed to go out. Rest on your respective floors. There are surveillance cameras in the dormitory rooms and corridors.
If anyone goes to someone else’s dormitory, they will be directly expelled. Has everyone remembered that?”
“Remembered,” the students replied weakly.
“Okay, let’s dismiss.”
The students scattered, and Zhou Yining and Fu Yuanke also walked towards the dormitory.
Although the content of the training was a bit boring, it had to be said that it was very tempting, especially for Zhou Yining, who was currently broke and desperately needed money.
After she returned to the bed, she took out her phone and looked at it, seeing that Jiang Xizhi had sent her a message.
Jiang Xizhi: [I had someone check the post you sent me. The posting times are all different, and the person posting is very clever. They post every once in a while and then change the IP address to continue.
However, I have already had someone check. All the IP addresses are from internet cafes in Nanchuan City, so checking the surveillance might be a bit difficult, but I will have them do it as soon as possible.]
Zhou Yining: [Okay, no rush. Don’t just focus on my affairs and delay your own studies.]
Zhou Yining was afraid that her troubles would affect Jiang Xizhi, so she simply told her.
The young lady rolled around on the bed twice, hummed a few times, and stared at the screen.
She knew that Zhou Yining was a study bug and only wanted her to study, but she still replied obediently.
Jiang Xizhi: [I know, I will listen obediently and do my math tests and workbooks well. (Cat rubs jpg)]
Zhou Yining: [Good, that’s good. Don’t worry about me. Rest well. I’m doing well here. (Dog hugs jpg)]
Jiang Xizhi: [Then, those people haven’t said anything out of line since, have they?]
Zhou Yining: [No, they’ve all been scared. They definitely wouldn’t dare to in front of me, but I don’t care what they think in private.]
Jiang Xizhi: [That’s good. If anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me. (Cat waves fist jpg)]
Zhou Yining: [Okay, thank you, my Zhizhi. (Dog rubs jpg)]
The two chatted sweetly for a while. Fu Yuanke, on the opposite bed, saw Zhou Yining staring at her phone with a happy face and thought that Zhou Yining was texting her boyfriend.
However, she didn’t look too closely. In fact, there were quite a few people dating at this age in high school, so it wasn’t surprising.
However, she was very curious about Zhou Yining’s attitude towards Zhang Ye.
After all, it seemed that Zhou Yining didn’t like Zhang Ye at all. Every time they ate, Zhang Ye took the initiative to come over.
On the other side, Jiang Xizhi went to find her sister after talking to Zhou Yining for a while.
Jiang Yueyi still had some company matters to deal with and was still processing documents in her office. Seeing Jiang Xizhi come over, she asked, “What’s up?”
“Yes, sister, how is the lawyer’s matter going? This can’t be allowed to end like this. Zhou Yining is my person. I can’t watch her get bullied by others,” Jiang Xizhi said, feeling angry when she talked about this matter.
Jiang Yueyi hissed and gasped. Why did she always feel that these words sounded so awkward?
“Wait, what do you mean ‘your person’? Speak properly.”
“I mean, Zhou Zhou is my best friend. I can’t watch her get bullied by others,” Jiang Xizhi said, changing her wording.
Jiang Yueyi was slightly relieved, “That’s more like it. Don’t worry, the lawyer’s letter will be sent over tomorrow morning, but because it’s a matter of a quarrel, the court may mainly focus on mediation.
However, don’t be afraid, I will have the lawyer try his best to fight the other side. Even if it doesn’t cause any loss to the other side in the end, it must make the other side disgusted enough.
Anyway, our company has a ready-made team of lawyers, and there is plenty of time to fight with them.”
“Okay, thank you, sister. I know you are the best,” Jiang Xizhi said, acting spoiled towards her sister.
Jiang Yueyi gave her a disgusted look, “Forget it, wait until your Zhou Zhou comes back and act spoiled with her.”
“Hehe,” Jiang Xizhi was amused and also felt a little embarrassed.
“Okay, if there is nothing else, I will continue to work,” Jiang Yueyi said with a smile to her sister.
“Nothing, nothing, I won’t disturb you. You can work,” Jiang Xizhi left Jiang Yueyi’s office happily and went back to her room.
Jiang Yueyi sighed. She also felt that Zhou Yining was very difficult. She was obviously a good child, but she encountered such a mess.
The next morning, Zhou Yining and the others got up at 6:30, and at 7:00, everyone went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
There were many kinds of breakfast, including wontons, noodles, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.
Zhou Yining ordered a bowl of freshly cooked wontons and a fried dough stick and ate happily.
At 7:30, Zhou Yining and the others began their morning classes, with Zhang Jianzhong still lecturing on some theories and techniques. During the break, the male teacher in charge of the team came over.
He looked at Zhou Yining with a complicated expression and then turned his gaze to Guo Ziheng and Li Shangkun,
“Guo Ziheng, Li Shangkun, you two come here for a moment.”
Guo Ziheng and Li Shangkun looked at each other and had a bad feeling, but they still walked to the front of the classroom.
The classroom, which was still noisy just now, was now completely quiet. Everyone wanted to see what was happening.
“Teacher, what’s wrong?” Guo Ziheng, a tall guy of 185 cm, spoke with a trembling voice.
“The security guard at the gate just gave these to me. They should be lawyer letters for you two,” the male teacher said, handing two envelopes to them, with a complicated expression.
Guo Ziheng and Li Shangkun took the envelopes tremblingly, almost crying. Wasn’t Zhou Yining too ruthless? She sent lawyer letters so soon?
Guo Ziheng now wanted to slap himself. It was all his fault for talking too much and provoking such a troublesome person.
Li Shangkun’s tears were frightened out of his eyes.
Although they were almost adults, they were still high school students who hadn’t graduated yet.
How could they have experienced this?
