Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 24 was posted online
The moment Principal Zhu appeared, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone turned their eyes to Principal Zhu.
Some people really don't understand, but how could the discussion of whether an essay can be published in the school magazine alarm the principal?
Some people, however, were secretly calculating in their hearts.
Principal Zhu is the soul of Maochang High School. He started as an ordinary teacher and has been working in Maochang High School for thirty years, serving as assistant principal, dean of studies, vice principal, and principal.
During the nearly fifteen years that he served as president, he carried out bold reforms and built this college entrance examination factory.
There is no doubt that he deeply loves this school to which he has devoted his youth and demonstrated his ambitions.
"It's quite lively. How's the discussion going? Is there any conclusion?"
Principal Zhu's sharp eyes swept across everyone present through the glasses on his nose.
"Principal, why... are you here?" Qian Zhengcheng, the director of the repeat class, came forward immediately.
"I told you, let's see the results of your discussion." Principal Zhu immediately looked at Qian Zhengcheng and continued, "Whether you have a conclusion or not, I have already reached a conclusion, but I don't know if it's the same as yours."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Many people felt uneasy, including Qian Zhengcheng.
He was a staunch opponent, because the essay was completely insulting to academic ethics.
If it weren't for the support of Li Dabao and Wang Xuehui, the matter would have been decided long ago.
Moreover, according to his thinking, even if this matter really got to the principal in two days, it would be even better. He would definitely seize the opportunity to give these guys who indulged students a good beating.
But he didn't expect that Principal Zhu would come over tonight.
After thinking for a few seconds, Qian Zhengcheng forced a smile and said, "Principal, since you have come to a conclusion, please tell us about it."
"No rush. I told you to come and see the results of your discussion. You guys continue first." After Principal Zhu finished speaking, he walked past Qian Zhengcheng and sat down at the conference table.
Now everyone understood.
If there are still some things you don’t understand, you should understand by looking at Lao Qian’s expression.
"Principal, I think this essay cannot be published in the school magazine. It will instantly change the school image that we have worked so hard to build." Qian Zhengcheng made a decision. No matter what, he still had to try to stop it.
"What image? Old-fashioned? Killing students' nature?" Principal Zhu was furious when he thought of this. If it weren't for people like you, how could the school's image to the outside world be so stubborn? "Let me tell you, Comrade Qian Zhengcheng, our school is trying to control students' personality of not studying, being playful and active, not letting students display their talents."
Qian Zhengcheng stopped talking. He didn't have the courage to contradict Principal Zhu.
In the conference room, one could hear a pin drop.
Principal Zhu glanced at everyone and said, "You don't need to discuss this. I will make the decision on this essay and publish it in the school magazine . In addition..."
He pointed to a gentle young man wearing glasses who was following him and continued, "Also, this is Xiao Xu, the editor of Wanjiang Metropolis Daily. This essay will also be published in Wanjiang Metropolis Daily."
"Li Dabiao, come to my office later and we can meet up."
"Okay, Principal." Li Dabao responded and nodded to the young editor.
After the matter was resolved, Principal Zhu prepared to leave. When he reached the door of the meeting room, he remembered something else and turned around and said, "Don't just argue at home. You can also use your phone to argue online."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Dabao was about to follow, but was stopped by Wang Xuehui.
When the two of them walked out the door, Wang Xuehui asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Li Dabao nodded and said, "That's about right. Like the principal said, you can try it on your phone. It's 2013 now, don't tell me you don't know how to use your phone to surf the Internet."
After thinking for a while, he added: "The principal has always wanted to change the school's solidified image in the eyes of the general public, and now this incident just gives us the opportunity."
Wang Xuehui was confused. How could this be considered a matter of changing the school's image?
Li Dabao pointed to his pocket and left.
Wang Xuehui took out his mobile phone, opened the search software, thought for a while, typed in "Inside and Outside", and clicked search.
With just one glance, he was stunned and he understood.
…
Chen Zhou did not see Wang Xuehui until the end of evening self-study. Although it was strange and he vaguely felt that it might be related to him, he did not want to ask too much about the teacher's affairs.
After returning to the rental house, Chen Zhou made himself a bowl of noodles. As he was eating, his cell phone rang.
"Hello? What's up?" Chen Zhou took a look and saw the caller ID was "Da Huang".
"Fuck, fuck, you're awesome, brother..." The voice on the other end was a bit irritating, and Chen Zhou had to hold the phone away.
When it was a little quieter, Chen Zhou put his ear close to the target again. He only heard Huang Jiayi saying something like "You were posted online," "Frequent searches on Weibo," and "Top searches on Baidu."
"What are Weibo hot searches and Baidu search popularity?" Chen Zhou asked.
"No, didn't you change your phone? How come you don't even know Weibo and Baidu Search?"
"I know about Baisou, but it's about searching for study materials. Does it have anything to do with the popularity of Baisou?"
"Oh my god..." Huang Jiayi, who was on the other side of the phone, sighed and held his forehead. "I can see that you have really changed. You are addicted to studying and can't extricate yourself, right?"
"Hehe." Chen Zhou laughed out loud embarrassedly.
"..." Huang Jiayi really wanted to run up to Chen Zhou and give him a beating, but the conditions did not allow it.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Jiayi began to explain: "Weibo is equivalent to a forum where you can post information and others can comment on it. Weibo hot search means that the information you posted has become something that everyone is paying attention to and searching for. If it is searched a lot, it is a hot search. The same is true for Baidu search popularity, which means that a certain piece of information and related information have been searched repeatedly many times. Do you understand?"
It's really hard to popularize science here. When Huang Jia thought about the main thing he hadn't said yet, he immediately said anxiously: "I'm telling you, don't worry about these hot searches or the popularity. Hurry up and use your phone to search for the essay you wrote."
Chen Zhou asked doubtfully, "The composition I wrote?"
"That article 'Inside and Outside'!"
"good."
After responding, Chen Zhou hung up the phone, opened Baidu Search, and typed in the title of his composition "Inside and Outside".
Before he could even look at it, Huang Jiayi called again: "Why did you hang up?"
"There's no signal when I call?!" Chen Zhou replied.
"Oh, yes. Then you watch it first, and call me after you finish reading it." Huang Jiayi was quick this time and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Chen Zhou reopened Baidu Search and saw messages appearing on his phone.
"Shocked! Such an essay came out of Asia's largest college entrance examination factory..."
"It's known as Asia's largest college entrance examination factory, but it actually teaches students to write about love!"
"Recently, a high school student's essay titled "Inside and Outside" was circulated online. Because the student was a repeater at Maochang High School, it sparked heated discussion!"
…
Chen Zhou clicked on a post and saw the following: "Maochang High School is known as the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia. There are tens of thousands of repeaters here. Parents send their children here and place their hopes on the school. But is this really the right choice? Let's start with a monthly exam essay by a repeater to analyze the true face of this school."
"...a school that forbids students from dating on the surface, but secretly teaches them to write romantic essays."
"...Does this 59-point essay conflict with the school's rules? Or is it the school's default?"
“…”
