Ding Dong –

Ding Dong –

Not long after the doorbell rang, a man's question came from inside.

"Who?"

"Li Zheng. ”

Lin Yujing. ”

“......”

The man was silent for a moment, and then opened the door without asking why.

Li Zheng and Lin Yujing's hands also subconsciously spread.

After all...... It's still quite inappropriate.

As soon as they met the man in the room, they all stared at each other.

Although we have heard each other's names for a long time, and we may have seen each other on large occasions, this is the first time that we have seen each other up close.

The man's name is He Anjiao, with a pair of confused eyes, plus a big black hair that is under-trimmed, and he doesn't look like he is engaged in academics.

But he is indeed a full-fledged professor at the School of Physics of Jida University, and he is also the director of this year's competition committee.

The director of the Competition Commission is an appointment system, and it is held every four years, and this year is also his last.

As for He Anjiao, he has naturally been swiped countless times by the names of the two, the most recent one is the theoretical marking, and the two papers were personally reviewed twice in the end, and he signed the confirmation of the marking.

At this time, He Anjiao saw the real person up close, and he only felt a little illusory-

Isn't that pretty......

But he was embarrassed to say it in the end, so he just avoided the other party's eyes and opened the door sideways.

"Come in. ”

"I'm so late, I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. He. ”

After Li Zheng and Lin Yujing nodded and said hello, they entered the room one after another and sat on the sofa following He Anjiao's direction.

He Anjiao himself was not in a hurry, he unhurriedly smoked two bottles of mineral water and handed them to the two, and then sat opposite the two, shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "It's about Huihu, right?"

The two put away the mineral water, nodded and confirmed, Li Zheng said, "I see that you are still wearing formal clothes, you must have just finished the discussion?"

"It's not just about discussions, it's about getting points. He Anjiao rubbed his forehead, waved his hand and said, "You have to fish for everything, and if you are obviously wrong, you can write it correctly in one unit, and you will be coaxed to get a point." ”

"Understand, you have worked really hard, then we will try to delay your time as little as possible. Li Zheng took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, unlocked and clicked on Yang Shaokui's QQ space, and presented his hands to He Anjiao, "Just look at it directly." ”

He Anjiao took the phone unequivocally, and then looked at it.

The more you look, the smaller the eyes become, and the deeper the brow folds become.

After two or three minutes, He Anjiao asked with some trembling, "Is this ...... This Yang Shaokui is a student of Huihu?"

"Confirmed. Li Zheng nodded and said, "There are a few photos, as well as other candidates from their school, who have also been confirmed, you can confirm with other teachers in the competition committee." ”

"No need. He Anjiao raised his head a little dazedly, stared at the ceiling, and unconsciously sank into it, and sighed a long breath, "Hey........."

Even the well-trained professor of Thistle University showed a deep sense of powerlessness at this time.

Li Zheng and Lin Yujing also looked at each other.

Now it seems that Dr. Strange Forest's judgment is still correct.

The Director of the Commission was not aware of it.

This kind of thing must only be an act between a very small number of people, and even a high probability that it is just a behavior between a member of the question group and the Huihu school.

After being silent for two minutes, Li Zheng couldn't help but get up and gave back the mineral water he had just gotten back to He Anjiao.

"Thank you......" He Anqiang smiled and unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and after taking two large sips, he wiped his mouth and looked at the two, "At the same time, thank you for your trust in me and the Commission, can you allow me to ...... first?"

"Of course. Li Zheng nodded and got up, "Then let's go outside to avoid it first, and then talk about it after you finish arranging." ”

"Not necessarily. He Anjiao said and took another big sip of water, then got up and picked up the contact list at the bedside, and dialed a number according to the list.

"I'm He Anjiao. ”

"Now, immediately, let Yang Shaokui delete all his space. ”

"QQ Zone. ”

"Don't ask me, see for yourself. ”

He Anjiao's last sentence was said with anger, but it was not out of control to the point of scolding.

After putting down the phone and sitting firmly, He Anjiao suddenly raised his head: "Who knows now?"

Li Zheng replied without hesitation: "As far as I know, there are only two of us. ”

"Hmm......" He Anjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at the two of them and said heavily, "Thank you very much, thank you sincerely, you are not only excellent in your studies, but you also have such an overall view beyond your age, if you hadn't been escorted, I would have spared no effort to recommend you." ”

In He Anjian's eyes, after the two got the news, they did not spread their enthusiasm, but chose to contact the teachers of the Competition Commission to deal with it, which is indeed quite a mature performance.

However, if you think about it deeply, it is not difficult to find that even if they are immature, they will make the same choice just out of interest.

After all, they are the champions and runners-up.

Those who are already at the top have no reason to expect the slightest turmoil.

But Li Zheng's next behavior instantly burst He Anjiao's thoughts.

In the room, Li Zheng got up again and presented a piece of paper with both hands.

"This is a joint letter from 178 candidates requesting to retake the exam,"

"Among them, there are 13 top 50 candidates, including me and Lin Yujing, and the third place, Du Zicheng. ”

Faced with the thin piece of paper presented by Li Zheng, He Anjiao didn't even think to reach out to take it.

Facing the stunned He Anjiao, Li Zheng also always maintained a posture of bowing slightly and putting his hands up.

"Teacher He, I know very well that this way of behaving is childish and meaningless. ”

"But sending it to you is the trust that these 178 people put in me. ”

"You can throw it in the shredder on the spot, and that's okay, it's actually a protection for us. ”

He Anjiao reluctantly accepted the joint letter, didn't read it, folded it directly, and stuffed it under the bedside book.

Contradiction......

He felt a great conflict.

On the one hand, Li Zheng and Lin Yujing believe in their teachers and the competition committee, hoping to keep their grades.

On the other hand, they are fighting against all of the above.

"You may find it contradictory. Li Zheng seemed to see through He Anjian's heart, and said calmly, "That's because you are on the opposite side of us." Just like most of the students and teachers, they also stood on the opposite side of the competition committee. ”

He Anjiao was stunned, sat back in front of the sofa thoughtfully, and raised his hand to signal Li Zheng to continue.

Li Zheng still said calmly.

"This time, the problem is not because of the Commission, nor because of any one candidate. ”

"Only between a very few teachers who leaked the question, and Huihu Middle School. ”

"They are what we have to fight together. ”

"We, together with you, and the Commission, are a whole with a common goal and interest. ”

"We all want fairer results and a brighter future. ”

"So please don't think on the opposite side of us. ”

As for many students, they did subconsciously stand on the opposite side of the competition committee and made some irrational voices. ”

"It is precisely because of this that Lin Yujing and I stood up, hoping to resolve this incident before it causes more harm to more people. ”

The room fell silent again.

He Anjiao found that from the beginning, he had no room to speak at all, and there was no need to speak.

In silence, He Anjiao took a big sip of mineral water again.

"Bothered...... he sighed as he twisted the cap, "you two, it's really bothering." ”

Lin Yujing, who had not spoken, said "hmm" at this time.

In fact, Li Zheng didn't bother much.

It was Dr. Strange Lin who single-handedly saw 178 kinds of futures.

A certain scum is just a speaker tool.

In fact, 30 minutes ago, they had already envisioned each of Ho's reactions in advance.

From the destruction of evidence, to praising the overall situation, to the difficulty in understanding the contradictions in the sequence of Li Zheng's behavior, everything is a standard reaction in this position.

At this time, Lin Yu silently observed the flow of He Anjiao's expression, and there was no need to figure it out, he had already expected his thoughts-

[Since you asked for a retake, why did you take the initiative to hand over and allow the evidence to be destroyed?]

[There must be a screenshot or something like that.] 】

[That's not easy.] 】

[If you don't agree, what if you announce it again?]

[It's not good, it's not good, quickly calm down your emotions.] 】

Sure enough, He Anjiao's side quickly sorted out the context, pursed his lips and nodded.

"As a person, I agree with you and understand your original intentions. ”

"I'll organise a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss a rematch. ”

"At the meeting, I will make a small public announcement of what has just happened and invite representatives of Huihu Middle School to participate. ”

"As for whether there will be a rematch, it's not up to me to say. ”

"I don't hide that the position of director of the Competition Commission is a part-time appointment, and more often than not, it is just a fictitious position, and in the face of such a major event, it still needs to be decided through collective discussion. ”

"I can only guarantee that I, as the nominal supreme leader, will try for a rematch at the meeting. ”

"As for the results, I can't make any promises. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yujing sighed.

It's so easy to guess that adults have the same thinking.

No matter what the initial state is, it will eventually return to the same thermal equilibrium.

The offside position is more weighty, and the final balance is the more standard template.

It can be said that whether it is He Anjin, Li Anjin or Zhang San here, they will go through each of the above steps step by step.

"Well...... Lin Yujing thinks it's more interesting to observe the stars.

He Anjiao looked at Lin Yujing, who was sighing, and was inevitably a little flustered: "This...... Lin Yujing, don't you believe me?"

"Hmm?" Lin Yujing also panicked.

What to do, how to explain this sigh?

There are too many layers!

"Believe, believe, and understand completely. Li Zheng hurriedly grabbed the conversation, "It is already very difficult for you to organize such an emergency meeting and properly disclose this incident." ”

"Hey...... It's a chore...... Whoever did it was unlucky......" He Anjiao said and grabbed the hair of his sideburns, "You see, I have been doing physics for so many years, and my white hair has grown in the past two days." ”

"I've wanted to say it for a long time...... Your hair quality is too good......"

"Hahaha. Seeing that the situation was relaxed, He Anjiao got up and said to the guest, "Okay, thank you again, no matter what the result is, I will give you an explanation." ”

Li Zheng and Lin Yujing got up politely, but they didn't move.

"Teacher He, you sit down first. ”

He Anjiao shuddered, feeling that things were not simple: "Ah......? Not done yet?"

"You sit. ”

“......”

This time, He Anjiao is really on pins and needles.

Li Zheng was even calmer than before.

"Teacher He, judging from our experience. ”

"Even if you come forward to organize a meeting, there is still little hope of retaking the exam. ”

"I can probably think of seven or eight reasons for Huihu Middle School to be prepared. ”

"Most of the attendees will prefer to be quiet and will not support retaking the exam. ”

"And you, after all, are the status of a professor at Jida University, and it is inconvenient to go against most people, we fully understand. ”

"It's okay, Lin Yujing and I don't have an identity. ”

"We can do the opposite. ”

"So we finally ask you to give us a signal to come forward when you're in a meeting and you think there's little hope of retaking the exam. ”

When He Anjiao heard this, his eyebrows tightened.

All along, Li Zheng's rhetoric has been quite mature.

Why did you suddenly make such a childish request?

Li Zheng ...... This kind of meeting, as a student, cannot be attended...... "He Anjin explained as kindly as possible, "Also, hypothetically, if you have a confrontation with any teacher in person, it is a failure from any point of view. ”

"But if we don't go, it's going to be a defeat for everybody. Li Zheng nodded and said, "We won't go empty-handed, for example, today, if it weren't for Yang Shaokui's information, how could you have talked with the two of us for so long?"

"........." continued to feel uncomfortable like sitting on pins and needles, He Anjin swallowed a mouthful of spit and asked, "You guys...... Any other information?"

Li Zheng nodded in acquiescence.

"That'...... Can you let me take a look at it first?"

"Like just now, do you want to delete it?"

“.........”

These words stabbed He Anjiao like a knife.

Just...... The first reaction to destroying the evidence......

It must have chilled these two classmates.

But it's really just a ...... Completely subconscious...... It's just a ripe choice.

That's what any adult would choose.

"Again, we fully understand you, Mr. He. Li Zheng finally got up and nodded again, "Don't submit all the information now, just because we understand your identity and position, this is also a kind of protection for you, so that you will have less trouble." All you need to do is give us a signal to go to the meeting room at the right time. ”

He Anjiao stared at Li Zheng and said in a trembling voice: "What if...... Isn't it?"

Li Zheng only smiled and did not answer.

It's even more like sitting on pins and needles.

The only reason why things haven't gotten big now is that Li Zheng and Lin Yujing haven't made Yang Shaokui's space public.

If they spread this, their room would have been smashed by now.

Not only the candidates and the team leader, but also the hundreds of parents behind it, hundreds of families who are struggling for this.

However, such a crucial piece of information was submitted so easily by Li Zheng and watched as it was destroyed.

God knows what else he has in his hands and how much destructive power he has.

"Li Zheng, Lin Yujing, I believe that you all understand the truth, and you also know the results of desperate efforts...... "He Anjiao asked in a deep voice, "I just want to ask, is it possible for you to stop? Is there any way to make you stop except for retaking the exam?"

"Teacher He, why do you always assume that we are opposites? We both love physics and will even become peers in the future, why do you always assume that we are enemies instead of facing real cheaters?"

He Anjiao was going to say something like "the overall situation is important".

But after all, it was not spoken.

Because this is not an answer to Li Zheng's question.

Why, always subconsciously opposing Li Zheng?

In the end, there is only one explanation left.

It's instinct.

Adult instincts.

The instinct to protect one's self.

Instinct that has been beaten by society for decades and tamed.

To all "unstable" factors, the instinct of rejection.

Perhaps, decades ago, the teenager who stepped into the School of Physics for the first time would have an opposite instinct and would naturally stand on Li Zheng's side.

It's just that no one is still the same teenager he used to be.

"I see. He Anjiao got up a little dazedly, grabbed his mobile phone, "Send me a screenshot of Yang Shaokui's space information." ”

......

Before leaving, He Anjiao was sent to the door, and he was already not going to say anything.

But he suddenly saw that Li Zheng had a lot of sweat beads on his face, and his hair was also wet.

Only then did he realize that he was still a human being.

It turned out that he was also so nervous that he sweated.

It's not easy for him to carry it until now, without a bang.

He Anjiao also thought about it at this time and patted Li Zheng.

"One last question. He Anjiao smiled flatly, "You have already won the championship and runner-up, why do you still have to do this?"

Lin Yujing looked back and smiled.

"Because we like physics~"

He Anjiao was puzzled: "This ...... Does that have anything to do with liking physics?"

"Hmm......" Lin Yujing fiddled with his fingers, and fell into the tangle of too many layers to express.

Li Zheng helplessly explained: "If you can retake the exam this time, there will always be no such leakage in the future, the competition will always be better, the competition will be better, the physics must be better, in that case, our future will be better." ”

"......I see," He Anjiao sighed.

At this moment, he felt that he was not enlightened enough.

With such a clear truth, I have never thought of it as a director of the competition commission.

There is no other reason.

"But how can you be sure that your future will be better?" He Anjiao took out the paper towel on the bar and gently wiped Li Zheng's sweat, "If you insist on appearing in the conference room tomorrow...... I want you to know that there are a considerable number of people here who can determine your future. ”

"Hush. Lin Yujing said disdainfully, "Can they still let me use a telescope?"

"This ...... If you do astronomy, it really won't affect ......" After He Anjiao wiped it, he took out another piece of paper and handed it to Li Zheng, "What about you, Li Zheng, have you thought about it?" ”

"Huh, what do you want?" Li Zheng asked blankly as he took the tissue.

As the conversation ended, the string in Li Zheng's mind seemed to suddenly loosen, and the whole person relaxed to a state of scum.

"Then I'll make it clearer...... He Anjiao explained, "Don't look at you now, there will be graduate students, doctoral students, dissertations, evaluation of professional titles, entry into laboratories and even establishment of laboratories in the future, and so on.

"Oh oh, this one. Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "They can't affect anything, I'm stable." ”

"......" He Anjiao paused for a moment, and then laughed, "That's it, it's really not good, I'll accept you, there is still a lot of room for electromagnetism to show your strengths." ”

Li Zheng twisted his face, and tried very hard not to refuse on the spot: "How ...... Thank you teacher for your love ......"

"Our electromagnetic laboratory is among the top five in the world, why are you so reluctant?"

"I didn't ...... I'm very excited......" Li Zheng waved his hand, "happy." ”

"Enough...... Let's go......"

"Goodbye, teacher!" Li Zheng's eyes lit up and he opened the door.

"You kid, that's what excitement is called!"
