Chapter 502: Moving Into Wei Zhiqian’s
She would likely face serious punishment. She might even get expelled.
It would be strange if she could sleep soundly knowing that.
“By the way, when will the school make an announcement?” Meng Yuxi asked Tan Mo.
Tan Mo shook her head. “I don’t know either.”
Lin Fuxi hid her spiteful gaze.
She blamed Tan Mo.
If Tan Mo had not pursued the issue, she would not be in this quandary right now.
Since Tan Mo was so favored by Professor Gu, did she not know the phrase learn to forgive and forget?
‘Must she be so ruthless to leave me no mercy?’
Even if she suffered badly, what good would it bring Tan Mo?
What was the point of harming others when it reaped no benefit?
It was time to go to class. All four of them left their dorm together, which was something they rarely did.
As they were on their way, Lin Fuxi suddenly received a call from Counselor Hong, asking her to go to his office.
Lin Fuxi knew that the school’s punishment had been decided.
Lin Fuxi did not inform the other three and just walked on with her head bowed.
Once Lin Fuxi had walked farther away, Meng Yuxi whispered, “I just heard her calling out to Professor Hong. Do you think the school has made a decision?”
Jin Yuelin nodded. “I suppose so.”
“The school will issue an official announcement, and we’ll know when we see it,” Tan Mo said.
The three went into the lecture hall.
Not long after they sat down, someone in the classroom said, “The school has issued an announcement.”
Without saying what the announcement was…
Everyone knew that it was about the school’s decision on Lin Fuxi’s punishment.
Everyone hurried to see.
The moment they saw the verdict, the three of them could not help but let out a sigh.
“Although I expected it to be expulsion, seeing the final verdict still feels like such a pity,” Jin Yuelin said.
“I’ll say. Getting enrolled at Beijing University is no easy feat. Shouldn’t Lin Fuxi have just focused on her studies? Why did she have to be so wicked?” Meng Yuxi asked.
Sitting next to them was one of their classmates.
The classmate said, “Indeed, there are so many people in the world that are better than ourselves, many of whom we can never surpass, even if we tried our best. Now, we’re merely students at a university, and already there are people who we can’t catch up to. Soon, we’ll enter society and start working. We may never be able to catch up in terms of work performance or income. It’s not just the differences within the same company. Just by comparing among the same batch of graduates, some will end up getting relatively better jobs, and some slightly worse. The same goes for the salary. Some might have an annual income of millions while some only hundreds of thousands. With Beijing University as our educational background, we may easily get an annual income of tens of thousands but maybe not hundreds of thousands. Then again, who’s to say what’s impossible? The bottom line is there will always be people far better than you.
“If we’re always jealous, unstable, and can’t keep an open mind, the one who suffers is ultimately ourselves. There will always be those who gain more than us. Classmates who study well will still earn more and produce better work. Nothing ever changes just because of your jealousy. On the contrary, that might even make them secretly happy and complacent knowing someone envies them,” the classmate said.
“That’s how it is, which is why we can only focus on doing our best. Why bother looking at what others have?” Jin Yuelin nodded.
In the lecture hall, students of all classes in the Department of Finance were present.
Whether or not they were close, everyone knew who Lin Fuxi was.
Seeing the predicament bestowed upon her, everyone felt speechless.
Lin Fuxi had no idea how she even managed to walk out of the teacher’s office.
She was crying and begging in Counselor Hong’s office, and she even kneeled on her knees.
Counselor Hong helplessly tried to stop her, but it was useless.
In the end, she was carried out of the room by the teachers.
Counselor Hong comforted her all the way. “Lin Fuxi, your academic performance isn’t an issue. But in the future, you ought to correct your attitude. Expulsion will not affect your chances of taking the college entrance examinations again. I believe that a student of your caliber will have no problem getting into Beijing University or Hua University again. As long as you recognize the error of your ways, Beijing University’s door will always be open to you. But if you do not wish to come back to Beijing University, then you may go to Hua University and have a fresh start.”
“However, you must learn to stay level-headed. Of course, it’s good to compete with others, because how else will you improve? Healthy competition is necessary. Just don’t let it intoxicate your mind again. If you really want to compete, why not compete with yourself? Compare yourself with the person you were before. Take a long hard look and see if you’ve made any progress and how much you’ve improved.
“In fact, I was wrong too. I should have had a good chat with you when I had the chance, and then maybe you could have avoided going into the deep end. You know what, Lin Fuxi? In fact, you getting into Beijing University is already a big step forward in your success. How many students in the country do you think actually got a spot at Beijing University? You should have seen it when you were at the Jiaoyuan enrollment day. There were practically no parents or students who even went to our booth. They didn’t even bother to inquire, let alone have the courage to apply, because they knew their results were far from lacking.
“Whereas for you, you were admitted to Beijing University by being an honors student at Jiaoyuan. You came to B City, and you became more knowledgeable than you were back in the county town and you made progress, didn’t you? Even after you got into Beijing University, you studied hard and never slacked off, and you got yourself a scholarship. That was a huge victory,” Professor Hong said. “Lin Fuxi, if you are willing to give it another shot, you can try applying to Beijing University again. The school only expelled you because you made a mistake. Now that you have paid the price for your mistake, this matter is over. If you acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, then you’d be giving yourself closure and can keep moving forward.”
“The teachers at Beijing University will not look at your past but only your future self. The teachers here still appreciate you and would love to teach you again.”
Lin Fuxi pouted in her heart.
It was easy for her to say.
If they were so willing to move forward, then they should not be expelling her.
What about all that talk of looking at her future?
As long as she had changed her ways, was that not good enough?
Looking at Lin Fuxi’s expression, Counselor Hong knew that she would not be able to process all this in such a short time.
This was a student who tended to bang her head against a brick wall.
Fortunately, after Ms. Wen had a chat with Lin Fuxi, she was certain that Lin Fuxi would not go to such extremes as to commit suicide.
The fact that she was expelled was also known to her parents, who were far away in Jiaoyuan.
Her parents had wanted to come to the school to find her, but she stopped them.
It was useless even if her parents were here, so why bother wasting travel expenses?
She would go back on her own.
And she would take the entrance examinations again.
This time, she was going to apply to Hua University.
She was done with Beijing University.
She hated everyone at Beijing University.
The people at Hua University saw Tan Mo as an enemy.
Well, so did she.
Who knew? She might fit right in with the students at Hua University.
Tan Mo did not concern herself over Lin Fuxi after that. She only knew that Lin Fuxi had packed her suitcase and calmly left the school.
She kept her head down the entire way home, not wanting people to see her face.
Being expelled from Beijing University was embarrassing.
Starting from now, after finishing her affairs for the day, Tan Mo would carry her notebook and go to the neighborhood next to Beijing University, where she would write her script living in Wei Zhiqian’s apartment.
It was inconvenient to write in the dormitory. She trusted that Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi would not leak out her work.
But it was still a little too noisy in the dormitory for her liking.
She was unable to write in peace there.
After all, Wei Zhiqian had said that the apartment was left vacant just for her.
