The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 52: Thousands of Pointed Points

On the third floor of the teaching building, there is a radio station.

The stationmaster had a stern face, the documents in his hands were rolled up into a paper tube, and he crossed his arms. Opposite him were several groups of announcers from the radio station.

Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao stood more casually. After all, they hardly made any mistakes, and the occasional ones were quickly corrected without affecting the quality of the broadcast.

But the announcers in that group on Monday were more upset. The girl had already written her application for withdrawal from the society and handed it to the station manager. The document in the station manager's hand was written by her. At this moment, she was looking down at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

There was a long silence, during which the stationmaster kept staring at Qian Sanyi, and finally he spoke first.
"Qian Sanyi, don't you have anything to say?"

"I am willing to bear all consequences of yesterday's broadcasting accident"

Obviously he had prepared a speech in mind, Qian Sanyi answered fluently.

"it is good"

The stationmaster responded quickly and handed the girl's withdrawal application to Qian Sanyi.
"Please write a withdrawal application based on this one."

Without reaching out to take the withdrawal application, Qian Sanyi looked at the stationmaster, his Adam's apple rolling, but his face remained calm.
"I am enrolled in the university and cannot withdraw at will."

"I don't care what you need. Even if the principal comes today, I can fire you in front of him."

The webmaster finally exploded. The sudden loud noise scared Lin Miaomiao. It was the first time she saw the webmaster so angry.

"Do you know why the principal didn't say anything this time? It's because you've gone too far. Do you want to see what you did yesterday afternoon? Do you want me to tell you in front of everyone? You better think about it. If you tell your little things, it will no longer be the internal affairs of our radio station."

After hearing what the stationmaster said, the other groups of announcers all pricked up their ears, wanting to know what happened yesterday, but the stationmaster never said anything. Instead, Qian Sanyi showed a panicked look on his face, took the application to withdraw from the station, and returned to the team without saying anything.

The stationmaster stood there with his arms folded, looking at everyone.

"You guys go back first. Fang Fangyu, you stay for a while."

Everyone walked out of the radio station, leaving only the girl who was Qian Sanyi's partner and the station manager at the radio station.

Lin Miaomiao looked back at the closed radio station and sighed.
"Fang Fangyu is actually a pretty good broadcaster. She came in at the same time as us in the first year of high school, but she just didn't find a good partner. I wonder if the stationmaster can persuade her to stay."

“It feels so bad”

Wu Xianyu looked at the stairs while analyzing the situation for Lin Miaomiao.

"You just saw her state. I guess she is traumatized by the broadcasting incident. I don't know what happened yesterday."

Not only the two of them were chatting, but the rest of the announcers were also chatting. From time to time, someone would look back at Qian Sanyi, who was walking at the end and deliberately keeping a distance from the crowd.

In school, the most important thing that cannot be underestimated is how well-informed students are. Sometimes the teachers would ask students when the school would be on holiday, not to mention this radio station accident. Soon, the details of what happened that afternoon spread out.

"It is said that Qian Sanyi took Deng Xiaoqi to the radio station because Deng Xiaoqi wanted to see what the radio station looked like. Fang Fangyu went to get food at the time, and when she came back, she saw the two of them arguing with each other. Fang Fangyu reminded them that no one else was allowed to come into the radio station, but the result was obvious. The two pretended not to hear. Then, when the two were playing, Deng Xiaoqi accidentally pushed the ring button up."

Lin Miaomiao talked about the gossip she had just received from other girls, shook her head, and made a "tsk tsk" sound.
"What is going on? Look at what happened to Fang Fangyu. The webmaster tried to persuade her for a long time, but she insisted on leaving the site. Now the webmaster has to worry about recruiting new people."

"What about the principal? Is there any news?"

Wu Xianyu was still more interested in the principal's reaction. After all, this time it involved the red line of suspected premature love.

"Principal"

Lin Miaomiao chewed beef jerky and shook her head.
"How can I know what the principal thinks? But someone said that Qian Sanyi and Deng Xiaoqi were called to the principal's office. I guess no one knows what they talked about except those three people."

"Actually, I'm more curious about how Lao Zhao feels now, haha."

Hearing Wu Xianyu say this, Lin Miaomiao remembered Lao Zhao's identity as the head teacher and laughed.

"Hahaha, I remember that Lao Zhao was going to be promoted to vice-president in the future. I guess he thought that he would be promoted safely if he had a top scorer in the high school entrance exam. Who knew that he would end up poking holes in his career?"

The two were chatting, when suddenly, the protagonist of their topic appeared. Old Zhao looked unhappy, standing at the door, followed by several members of the student union. He pushed his glasses and spoke.

"Come here, everyone, look here. I have something to say. Anyone who is carrying electronic products and prohibited items, please hand them over now. If you do, we will not hold your fault accountable. If we find out later, asking your parents to come to our house will be the lightest punishment. Now I will give you five minutes."

Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao
“You didn’t bring your phone?”

"No, why would I bring a cellphone with me as a day student? I can play with it when I get home."

"That's fine."

During this time, three or four people took the initiative to hand it in. Tang Yuanming, who came over, looked at them with an angry look. Five minutes later, Lao Zhao continued to speak.

"Everyone, line up and exit through the door"

The student union members outside the door each had a metal detector in their hands, and it looked the same as the one used during the college entrance examination. Wu Xianyu sighed at this time.

"The school is really rich and powerful. They always have this thing in stock. Several schools in our area use it in rotation."

“This thing doesn’t look expensive.”

Lin Miaomiao stretched out her arms and allowed the female student union member to scan her, while chatting with Wu Xianyu.

"I don't know the exact price, but my teacher there often says that this thing costs tens of thousands of dollars each. I don't know if it's true or not."

The student union member who was scanning Wu Xianyu's hand trembled and almost dropped the metal detector.

The two of them passed through the classroom door smoothly. At this time, many people from other classes came over and found out that they were checking cell phones, so they returned to their own classes to inform them.

Finally, two more boys were caught hiding cell phones, one in his shoes and the other in his underwear. Under the threat of Lao Zhao's sullen face, the two boys took them out on their own initiative, and Lao Zhao put them in a bag separately out of disgust.

After the inspection, those who were fine returned to the classroom. Those who voluntarily handed in the items and the two who kept them privately were left behind. Tang Yuanming didn't rush to deal with them. He looked at Lao Zhao.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, why are you checking our class first? Isn't your class the first class?"

"Our class principal personally took people to investigate."

Old Zhao's voice was flat, but Tang Yuan could clearly hear a hint of sadness. He leaned in and asked

"Who in your class has the problem this time?"

"Deng Xiaoqi, you were caught playing with your cellphone in the dormitory at noon by Xiao Wang." Lao Zhao's voice was neither loud nor soft. When the students heard it, they looked at each other. They knew this man. He had just caused an accident at the radio station yesterday, and today he was cleaning out cell phones again.

The contraband inspection operation lasted for an entire afternoon and the school gained a lot, but all the teachers looked unhappy. Not only mobile phones, but also MP3s, large novels, and even an adult magazine were found.

The hardest hit area for banned items is the second year of high school. The freshmen have just arrived and are not so arrogant yet. They don’t have much except a few novels. The third year students mostly have MP3s. The reasons are all the same: they are under too much pressure and can only fall asleep by listening to music.

Therefore, he became the focus of teachers in his second year of high school. Soon, it was discovered that all the mobile phones found were connected to the wireless network. Following the clues, Jiang Tianhao became the last one to be caught.

When the teachers heard him say that he cracked the campus network password because the principal’s wife celebrated her birthday in the cafeteria every year, they were speechless.

Old Zhao pointed at Jiang Tianhao who was lowering his head with a helpless look on his face.

"Look at you, it would be great if you could use your intelligence on studying instead of caring about the principal's wife's birthday. You are so capable."

After taking a few breaths, Lao Zhao turned around and no longer faced Jiang Tianhao, but looked at the documents on the table.
"Call your parents in a few days. The principal wants to talk to you in person."

Jiang Tianhao nodded silently. His cell phone had also been found out. Deng Xiaoqi had also stabbed him in the back regarding the wireless network password. He was in a very bad mood. After waiting for a while, he saw that Lao Zhao was fine and turned around to go back to school. But Lao Zhao seemed to have thought of something and called Jiang Tianhao.

"Wait, call Deng Xiaoqi over."

After hearing Lao Zhao's order, Jiang Tianhao hesitated for a moment, but still returned to the classroom and found Deng Xiaoqi lying on the table alone. Under Qian Sanyi's vigilant gaze, he knocked on her table. When she raised her head, revealing a tearful face, Jiang Tianhao hesitated for a moment and spoke ruthlessly.

"Mr. Zhao wants you to go to his office."

"understood"

Deng Xiaoqi stood up and walked out of the classroom with her head down. The fuse for her school's cell phone inspection was also known to everyone. She had a hard time these days. Except for Qian Sanyi, no one talked to her. The few superficial friends she had also stayed away from her. Although she was far more scheming than her peers, she could not withstand the pressure of being criticized by everyone.

She didn't know what she had done wrong in this matter. Everyone was the same in bringing cell phones and making the same mistake. She was just caught by the teacher. Why should she be treated like this?

If Wu Xianyu knew what she was thinking, maybe he could give her an answer.

"Because you were discovered by the teacher, others will only think that they hid well. The phone was confiscated entirely because you were discovered by the teacher. There is nothing wrong with me. The fault lies with you alone."

It doesn't make sense, but that's human nature.

This grand inspection of contraband has come to an end, but everyone knows that the highlight is the flag-raising ceremony next Monday.

Standing on the playground, Wu Xianyu looked at Jiang Tianhao who was making self-criticism in front of him, and mourned for him in his heart, because it was he who spread the wireless network password.

Fortunately, Jiang Tianhao was not the kind of obedient student. He had made self-criticism many times since he was a child, and he had seen this scene before. In fact, he was secretly happy because Deng Xiaoqi had not spoken a word to Qian Sanyi since she came back from the office last time. And because he took the initiative to take the responsibility of self-criticism, Deng Xiaoqi thanked him. In this back and forth, he won.

Thinking of the parents he invited, Jiang Tianhao felt even more that he was a genius and that he would be able to get his phone back when the time came.

After the flag-raising ceremony, they returned to the classroom. Lin Miaomiao and a few girls gathered together to chat about the performances for the New Year's Eve party. When they heard that Lin Miaomiao was going to sing a duet with Wu Xianyu, the originally heated discussion suddenly became quiet. They looked at Lin Miaomiao strangely, and occasionally glanced at Wu Xianyu outside the crowd.

Lin Miaomiao was not panicked at all. She took out the fan letter and slapped it on the table.

"We can't help it. Our fans want to see us work together. I thought that since it was the first fan's request, I should satisfy him. After thinking about it, I think it's easier to sing together. Crosstalk is hard to perform well without some talent."

After hearing all these reasons, 80% of the people believed it, and the remaining 20% ​​had the idea of ​​supporting the two.

At this time, an idea king suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spoke

"Hey, our liberal arts class must compete with the science class. Should we find out about their programs?"

"Yes, yes, even though we have more girls, we may still be able to beat them."

"I think we need to send a guy over to investigate. We girls are too big a target."

Wu Xianyu, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, realized that there was no sound. It seemed that many more eyes were looking at him. He turned around and found that many people were looking at him.

Wu Xianyu immediately started to excuse himself

"Have you ever seen a scout as handsome as me? Scouts are usually short and unnoticeable. Let's change someone else."

"Tsk, so narcissistic!"

"That's right. I was quite excited when Wu Xianyu and I were assigned to the same class. But after these few months, my fantasy was completely shattered."

"What a nice handsome guy, but he is just a funny character, what a pity"

"."

Listening to the girls' chattering, Lin Miaomiao didn't turn around. She reached behind her back and secretly gave Wu Xianyu a thumbs up.

Seeing Lin Miaomiao's thumbs up, Wu Xianyu snorted and said nothing.

After lunch, Wu Xianyu returned to the dormitory and saw Jiang Tianhao approaching and comforting him perfunctorily.

"Haozi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, this is just a small scene, Xianyu, come and see the little thing I just made today"

Jiang Tianhao and the other two were holding a paper tube and looking at something. Wu Xianyu looked over and said with contempt.
"Why don't you do something else at such a young age? Why are you learning to peek? Aren't you afraid of the reflection from the lenses? If you get caught, it won't be something that can be solved by just repenting."

Jiang Tianhao and the other two were holding telescopes made of two convex lenses. They were looking at the neighborhood next to the school, wondering where there were beautiful women.

Anyway, when Wu Xianyu was in high school, he never cared about women. He only cared about novels and games. He didn't know why the high school students here were so much more mature than he was back then.

After hearing what Wu Xianyu said, the three of them felt that this behavior was a bit obscene. Jiang Tianhao was the first to put down the telescope.

"Forget it, just take a look, there's really nothing to see."

"I don't want it either. What if I see a pretty one? Can't she marry me?"

Sun Chuanchu was daydreaming. He put the telescope on the table and lay down on his bed.

I'm going to go drink during the day today, tentatively planning to play for three days. After I come back, I expect to update twice a day for five consecutive days.
