The day of school reopening came soon. Early in the morning, Shi Wan received a call from Zheng Zhi, urging her to hurry to school.
Shi Wan got out of bed and had just finished washing up when Shen Siyan pushed the door open and came in. "Going to school today?"
"Yeah. I'm going to register today, start classes tomorrow, and then it'll be the final exams soon."
"I'll drive you there."
Shen Siyan was amused by her words.
"But didn't you say you were going to look for a job?"
He had said he was going to look for a job these days because he had lost his previous one.
The Second Branch was putting so much pressure on him. It was estimated that only hard and dirty jobs would be available for him.
"It's okay. I can still look for a job after I drop you off."
"Okay, then."
Shi Wan planned to secretly arrange a simple job for him. As for the Second Branch... the old master was still around, so it wasn't a good time to take action.
As soon as Shi Wan arrived at school, she noticed the passing students pointing at her. She didn't need to guess to know that someone had dared to spread rumors about her again.
"Wanwan!" Zheng Zhi trotted towards her, with pity in her eyes. "Wanwan, you're so pitiful."
Shi Wan: "..."
Was that the first thing she said on the first day of school?
"Do you have some kind of hot - search constitution? Why are there posts about you every once in a while?"
Shi Wan curled her lips. "Maybe I have a natural star quality?"
"...... Maybe you're the one who's been blackmailed the most."
Shi Wan: "..."
She couldn't argue with that.
But...
"What new thing about me is on the Internet?"
"You don't know yet?" Zheng Zhi was eager to wake her up. "You've been severely slandered! It's said on the Internet that you hardly attended Lin Feng's classes last semester, but he gave you almost a full score when grading. You were also the top student in the major. So..."
Shi Wan twitched the corner of her mouth. "..."
Was this something to be criticized about?
"I think they're mainly targeting the fact that you're the top student in the major."
"Got it."
Seeing the message from the principal, she waved her hand to show that she understood.
"Wanwan, where are you going?"
"To the principal's office."
Zheng Zhi was slightly stunned. Was she going to explain the situation to the principal?
It made sense. How could those people casually post things on the Internet to slander others?
She quickly followed behind.
In the principal's office.
Shi Wan knocked on the door and entered after getting permission. The principal didn't show pity when he saw her for the first time. Instead, he burst out laughing.
"You're so unlucky!"
A vein bulged on Shi Wan's forehead. She wanted to beat up this old man.
"Keep laughing and see what happens?"
The principal immediately shut up and said seriously, "This is really beyond my expectation. But who asked you to hide your identity?"
Shi Wan felt a headache coming on. She hadn't expected those people to be so idle.
"So what are you going to do now? If this matter gets out of hand, the Education Bureau will get involved." The principal held back his laughter. "The school will also come out to explain."
In school, many people didn't know Shi Wan's real identity. They only thought she was an excellent student.
Shi Wan hadn't expected to stumble over her own hidden identity. "Do I need to ask others when I'm grading myself?"
Did they want to see her make a fool of herself?
In their dreams!
"So, you're not going to hide your identity anymore?"
"Hide it and continue to make a fool of myself while you keep laughing?" Shi Wan mercilessly exposed him. "Moreover, since they like it so much, why should I continue to hide? I have the power to slap them in the face. Why not use it?"
The principal thought about it carefully. It seemed that she was right.
"Shall I issue a statement for you now?"
"No. I'll first find out who posted those things and deal with them one by one." After a pause, she said, "So I don't have to attend classes anymore, right?"
"...... Dream on."
He still wanted to use this gimmick to recruit more students.
Moreover, there would be a signboard for a research institute in the School of Medicine soon. He planned to let Shi Wan guide the students there as a teacher.
Shi Wan frowned and finally left without saying a word.
Zheng Zhi had been waiting outside the principal's office for a long time. As soon as Shi Wan came out, her first words were to ask about the result.
"Wanwan, what did the principal say?"
Actually, she was very curious. Generally, teachers would handle such things. Only Shi Wan was an exception.
But when she thought about Shi Wan's previously exposed identity, it seemed normal.
Shi Wan looked serious. "He was laughing at me."
"Ah?"
"It's okay. I'll handle it." Shi Wan changed the topic. "Where's the registration place? Take me there."
"Okay."
Knowing that Shi Wan didn't want to talk about it anymore, she didn't ask further. Anyway, Shi Wan would definitely solve it in the end.
There weren't many people at the registration desk. Each department had several teachers in charge. At this moment, except for Shi Wan and Zheng Zhi, there was no one else.
As soon as they saw Shi Wan, several teachers rushed towards her like hungry wolves.
"Student Shi Wan, how have you been recently?" One of the teachers grabbed her hand and said. "Don't mind what those people say. The teacher believes in you."
Each subject was a different matter. They only knew that Shi Wan had ranked first this semester. Coupled with her identity, the teachers were extremely enthusiastic towards her.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Host, there are many people here who have a grudge against you. Be careful."
The voice of the system rang out and then disappeared.
Shi Wan: "..."
She hated it when people talked only half - way.
Telling her to be careful meant that something was about to happen.
"Student Shi Wan, here's your form. Just give it to the dormitory teacher."
"Thank you, teacher. Then we'll leave first."
"Wait. There's something from the principal for you here."
Shi Wan was suspicious. As soon as she walked over, a cup of boiling water was suddenly splashed towards her.
She quickly dodged as she had been on guard. The water splashed on the ground, steaming.
Was this what the system had been talking about?
This method was just too...
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Student Shi Wan. I didn't do it on purpose."
The one who spoke was another female teacher. Her face was full of panic and apology, as if it was really just an accident.
Shi Wan curled her lips. "It's okay, teacher. You should be more careful. After all, there are so many people here."
Lu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. "It's the teacher's fault. I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Shi Wan nodded and didn't say anything else. She took the thing the teacher had mentioned, and her expression immediately cracked.
A signboard for a research institute?
And it was mainly aimed at medical students?
"Teacher, what does this mean?"
Shi Wan's words were gritted through her teeth.
"Didn't the principal tell you? He said he hopes you can go to the School of Medicine to guide the students who want to enter the research institute."
The teacher was surprised. She thought the principal had already told her.
Shi Wan couldn't help but sneer.
Seeing this, the teacher suddenly understood why the principal had asked her to give this to Shi Wan instead of doing it himself.
He had known in advance that Shi Wan would react like this.
It was a trap!
A huge trap!
Seeing that the paper was almost crushed, the teacher was completely panicked.
Oh my god!
Was she going to die here today?
"Wait... The principal said there will be a reward!"
Suddenly, she remembered the last words the principal had said and blurted them out in a hurry.
"Really?"
