Chapter 125
After returning from Yuantong Temple with Feng Yi, Wen Jianning first went to Mr. Wen's house to discuss with him about staying in school.
Mr. Wen was shocked when he heard this: "You don't plan to stay in school?"
Wen Jianning knew that the atmosphere in the school was not as good as it was two or three years ago, and if she wanted to stay, she was afraid that it would bring more pressure to Mr. Wen and those who really loved her, so it was better to give up as soon as possible, so as not to make it difficult for Mr. Wen and them in the future.
Mr. Wen could probably guess the reason and persuaded: "You don't have to care about the gossip of others, what kind of person you are, the teachers and classmates of the Chinese Department see it." If anyone dares to spread rumors behind their backs, I and the other professors will make decisions for you. ”
Although Mr. Wen repeatedly retained him, Wen Jianning had made up his mind, and in the end he could only respect her wishes. It's just that Wen Jianning also made a request to ask Mr. Wen not to inform her about this matter for the time being, and wait for a while.
Although Mr. Wen did not know her intentions, he still agreed.
A few days later, during a public speech held by the Three Youth League, Wen Jianning shouted out to one of the members in full view.
She didn't pay attention to the sideways glances of the other people present, and asked straight to the point: "This classmate, I heard that you told others behind your back that my qualification to stay in school was obtained because of currying favor with Mr. Wen of the Chinese Department, is there such a thing?"
The female classmate obviously didn't expect her to take the initiative to come to the door, and she was a little flustered.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several members next to her stopped in front of her, and one of them said domineeringly: "Even if there is such a thing, what can you do, how did you get the qualification to stay in school, don't you know in your own heart? There are so many talented people and talented women in the Chinese Department who have better grades than you, why can you stay and teach? If it weren't for Mr. Wen's favoritism, what other reasons could there be?" ”
The other unknown onlookers were also whispering, and their eyes were questioning when they looked at Wen Jianning.
Wen Jianning smiled after hearing this: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they can only be seen over time, but whether a person has true talent and real learning is the best test." Three years ago, for personal reasons, I begged the professors not to give me too high a grade, and the head of the Chinese Department and many professors in the course knew about it and could prove it to me at any time. If you don't believe me, the examination papers of the previous years of the school are still sealed in the examination office, and we can call up the examination papers of previous years at any time, and you can ask the professor who you think can judge impartially to re-evaluate and determine whether my real results in the past few years are eligible to stay in the school. ”
Her attitude is frank and upright, without the slightest bit of humility, and she dares to ask the department chairs and professors, and even go to the examination office to check the past test papers, which shows her confidence.
All of a sudden, other people who didn't know the situation also believed seven or eight points.
Another person said: "Even if you do well in the exam, what can you do, the exam of the Chinese Department only needs to read books casually, draw gourds and write a few reading reports, and stay in school to teach and talk about real learning." In addition to the poster you ran yourself, you have published a few articles in newspapers and magazines, so what is your talent?"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many Chinese students present.
"The Chinese Department can write a few book reports casually, and you can get high marks under the hands of the professors, which is really a big breath, so it is better for you to write a few articles to open our eyes." ”
"What nonsense is this person talking about, science and engineering exams may only look at the results calculated by formulas, and the reading reports of our Chinese department are not consequentialistic." This is a first-year student, and the entrance exam questions that year are too simple. ”
In the midst of the coaxing of several Chinese students, the person who had just spoken suddenly felt embarrassed.
Instead of taking the opportunity to avoid this question, Wen Jianning looked around and said loudly: "What articles have I published in newspapers and publications, please take a look at the latest article reviews in this issue of "Sui Han" and "Today's Review". I don't dare to consider myself the first in terms of grades or articles, but I still want to ask, if I am not qualified to stay in school, then how many of you here today think that you are more qualified to stay in school than me!"
As she spoke, people in the distance had noticed the movement here, and more and more people came over to see the excitement, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of people had gathered densely around her. Hearing her say this, someone at the scene happened to have these two publications under his arm, took them out and compared them, and immediately guessed her pen name, and the crowd instantly became commotion.
In the past few years, Ming Kan, a mysterious and low-key writer, seems to have a high status in the literary world, and her works are also deeply loved by young students. There was a buzz at the scene, and some of the Chinese students still rushed to Fang Cai's members of the Three Youth League: "Stand up quickly, we also want to see it." ”
The classmate blushed and tried to force his words: "You, you are all the same raccoon dogs! Don't think we don't know, under the pretense of running a poster, you are secretly inviting people to buy people's hearts, and you want to use money to corrupt your classmates!"
Wen Jianning retorted with a sneer: "There are not a few student clubs who subsidize their classmates, and everything everyone does is voluntary. Let's not talk about anything else for the time being, let's just say that your three youth leagues have used movie tickets and tea and snacks to attract students to join the club, if what we do is to invite people to buy people's hearts, then what are you doing!"
Seeing that the Three Youth League had lost the upper hand, a smart person finally came out to play a round: "This classmate Wen, our club is going to hold an event today, and this is not a place to promote the hall and play the board." You have a personal grudge with a member of the group, please settle it privately. Everyone is from the same school, so why make such an ugly fuss. ”
Wen Jianning sneered, and his eyes swept over them: "I didn't dare to admit that I knew it was ugly when I was approached by the bitter master, and I was not ashamed to ruin people's reputation with rumors behind my back. Over the past few days, everyone knows whether the rumors against me and those around me are just an individual act or an instigation from within the group. I'm just here today to tell you all of you that if you really have any advice, I'm always waiting for you to confront me face to face, and don't do these unseemly tricks behind your back!"
After that, the scene was silent, and after a while, the students who were standing on her side applauded.
Wen Jianning let out her words, and she was no longer nostalgic, she just left, and a group of classmates surrounded her and left.
On the other hand, Director Chen had already heard the news and rushed to mediate the dispute.
Unfortunately, he came a little late, and the students of the Three Youth League were all shocked by the other party's tough words, and could only watch the female student leave without looking back.
The story of that day quickly spread through the school.
When the female classmate who chewed the root of her tongue behind her back went out again, she was inevitably pointed at by others, and some of them couldn't raise their heads.
But Wen Jianning's revenge still did not stop, and in the following days, when she heard someone making up gossip about her and the people around her behind her back, she would specially pick an occasion with a large number of people to question the other party in public, which made people unable to get off the stage. Those people fabricated rumors behind their backs, which was already disgraceful, and they repeatedly made a fool of themselves in public, and they hated and feared Wen Jianning for a while.
This matter is an internal dispute among students, Wen Jianning is a victim of rumors, and it is natural for him to clarify for himself, not only is the Discipline Department unwilling to intervene, but even Director Chen of the Three Youth League is not good at interfering, so he can only try to mediate.
It's a pity that Wen Jianning didn't sell his face, and turned his head to write an article to denounce those people.
She never was ambiguous, nor did she make up facts, she directly pointed out by name how the classmates of a certain department falsely accused others behind their backs, and how they acted themselves, and her writing was extremely spicy and sharp, and these people in her pen were all ugly.
Everyone unanimously felt that Wen Jianning was probably crazy, so he would go against the Three Youth League in such a reckless manner, and even Ruan Wenyun was worried that if she continued to make trouble like this, she would only cause trouble again, so she went to Feng Yi in private, hoping that he could persuade her.
Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Seeing Ning, she has her own measure, and let her take such a bad breath." ”
Ruan Wenyun was a little uneasy and said: "But in case, in case of being caught by those people again, I'm afraid that Jianning will also ......."
The other party said mildly but unquestionably: "There will be no such thing." ”
Ruan Wenyun was suddenly speechless.
During this period, it was not that no one tried to concoct the same method and make an article about Wen Jianning's private affairs.
But firstly, the poster in their hands is far less than the audience of "Wildfire", and it cannot attract the attention of so many classmates; second, Wen Jianning has always had a good reputation in the same level, and rarely participates in other rights and wrongs, the only stain is the last poster incident, but if this matter is used to attack her, it will only backfire. On the contrary, it makes them more and more unpopular. What's more, after Wen Jianning finally revealed his pen name, he even attracted a large number of supporters in the school, making the situation more and more tricky.
The teachers and students of the Three Youth League finally realized that this female student was a hot potato. Even Director Chen complained behind his back, saying that this is a female student with a new education, and she is clearly a shrew.
Somehow this word spread, and the next day, scandals such as how he had deceived his schoolgirl into getting pregnant in his early years, and his wife's face was scratched in public, and it was published in the newspaper and spread to everyone. When he heard this, he was furious, and immediately led someone to find the female student and ask her to make a public review, but he never thought that he would meet a young teacher in the physics department on the way.
For some reason, the other party already knew their intentions, and asked with a smile: "Although this is Director Chen's private matter, it was mentioned when I was arguing with someone in the newspaper two years ago. I've heard that if a person dares to do something, he must dare to do it. Or is it that the Chinese people are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and other writers can scold them, but our students at the United Nations University can't scold them?"
The student representatives who went with Director Chen were about to angrily scold the young teacher who did not understand the rules, but Director Chen stretched out his hand to stop them. He squinted his eyes and watched with a cloudy expression as the young teacher left, but for some reason he temporarily changed his mind and returned the same way with the group of people, refusing to go to Wen Jianning's trouble again.
In the end, it was the Three Youth League that sent student representatives to take the initiative to find Wen Jianning and apologize to her in person, promising to restrain the members of the club from spreading rumors and making a public apology for the previous incident, so she reluctantly agreed to settle the matter.
After being made all over the city by Wen Jianning this time, many people in the Three Youth League subconsciously avoided her when they saw her again, and no one dared to provoke the people around her. Even Feng Xin, who was in the same dormitory as her, suddenly alleviated a lot of resistance in the Autonomous Association because of this farce. In their last days at school, they finally slowly regained their former peace.
Seeing that graduation is imminent, the club affairs in her hands are gradually entrusted to the junior students, and the rest of the graduation thesis, Wen Jianning has already written about the same, only a few places that Mr. Wen pointed out to be revised.
Without the pressure of going to class, posting and verbally exchanging words, her life suddenly became much more relaxed, often going to the teahouse with Feng Yi to read books, going to the green lake for a stroll, and occasionally going to other colleges to listen to other professors' classes.
Time passed day by day, and their school time also entered the countdown.
In order to avoid the rush of moving on the day of graduation, she, Ruan Wenyun and Feng Xin gradually transferred their personal belongings to the small courtyard where they once lived. Although this place was bought by Wen Jianning, because Ruan Wenyun and the others have not yet found a place to stay, they will also move here to live for a while. Fortunately, since their dormitory was bombed once last year, there are not many new bedding books. In addition, with Feng Yi's help, it was almost handled after a few trips.
On the last day of moving the luggage, Wen Jianning offered to cook himself as a reward for thanking Feng Yi, and Ruan and Feng were very amuseful to find an excuse to go back to school, leaving the two of them a chance to be alone.
After the two finished eating, they moved a small wooden stool and sat at the door looking at the sky and chatting.
It was evening, the sun was setting, and the clouds on the horizon gradually turned from dazzling golden red to dull gray purple. The night crept up, and a half-curved crescent moon and a few sparse stars dotted a corner of the sky.
Feng Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Jianning, do you want to move to the area of Yuantong Temple to live?"
Wen Jianning didn't understand why he asked like this, and said with some confusion: "Actually, it doesn't matter where I live, it's just why we suddenly moved to Yuantong Temple, is there anything wrong here?"
Feng Yi said warmly: "The camellia flowers around Yuantong Temple are blooming very well, if we live there, we can often go to see the flowers together." The temple is quiet, and you can read and write with peace of mind over there. ”
Wen Jianning thought for a while and said, "Then let's move." ”
