CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 467 INJUSTICE OF THE WORLD

Zhen Yu and Shen Qi’s confrontation in the cafeteria quickly became well-known throughout the dormitory.

After Shen Qi returned to the dormitory with pent-up rage, she threw herself on the bed and started crying!

The girls in the dormitory exchanged glances but none approached her to comfort her right away, as they all had the same thought.

Let her cry and vent for a while! She’ll be easier to console after she has cried enough.

Thus, the entire room 209 fell silent except for the sound of Shen Qi’s sobbing, coupled with the soft muttering to herself as she cried.

"She just scored first in the city for the middle school exams, big deal! Does she think being first means she can do whatever she wants?!"

"I have to compete with her fairly! Let’s see who will be the class president of the top class tomorrow! I don’t believe it! In what aspect am I not as good as her aside from the middle school exam scores?! Even for grades, a single exam doesn’t represent anything..."

"If Teacher Zhang really makes her class president just because she has the highest grade, I will be the first to object!!! I must protest! In the next exam! I will definitely surpass her in the next exam! She’s just a bookworm! What’s so great about her! Everyone likes her! It’s so unfair! I was the first, sob sob..."

"Enough Shen Qi, stop crying! One minute you’re talking about fairness and the next you’re not. Just like you said, muster some effort! Surpass her next time and that’s it!" The girl from the upper bunk was the first to come over and console her.

Once she made a move, the other girls also gathered around. Even though everyone knew very well that the class teacher would certainly consider grades when choosing class officers, they still reluctantly said Teacher Zhang wouldn’t do that! Each one declared she wouldn’t agree with Zhen Yu being the class president, stating they would stand with Shen Qi.

After the group consolation from her roommates, Shen Qi barely managed to calm down.

---

By this time it was already evening, and the school leaders had long gone home. No teachers came to trouble Zhen Yu and Shen Qi, and everyone had a good sleep in peace and quiet.

However, after the seats were assigned the next morning, Zhen Yu was taken away by the class teacher, Zhang Lei.

Teacher Zhang didn’t explain a word and took Zhen Yu straight to Director Feng.

"Director Feng, here is the person."

"Alright! Then you go on with your work! I’ll talk to her!"

"Then I’m off."

After saying this, Teacher Zhang, without even glancing at Zhen Yu, turned and left Director Feng’s office.

As soon as the door closed, Director Feng glared fiercely at Zhen Yu before suddenly slapping the table!

"I heard you were quite arrogant in the cafeteria last night! At such a young age, where did you get so much resentment?! Huh? Want to repeat that ’unfair world’ speech to me again?"

Zhen Yu bowed her head, silent, and listened to the reprimand.

A wise man knows better than to fight against impossible odds! She didn’t talk back.

The fuming Director Feng paced back and forth, "Write a self-criticism right now and rush to the broadcasting room to read it out! Reflect on your negative thoughts before all the teachers and students in the school!"

Zhen Yu calmly lifted her head, "Director Feng, when should I read it?"

Director Feng replied with a stern face, "Before school ends this afternoon! I don’t care if you have the time or not! You must have the self-criticism written and read out before school ends this afternoon! The negative impact of this incident cannot be allowed to continue to spread! Understand?!"

Zhen Yu nodded confidently, "Okay! I’ll go read it after the flag-raising ceremony."

Hearing this, Director Feng looked at her suspiciously, then suddenly realized something.

"Don’t think you can fool me! Three thousand words! Not one less!"

Director Feng was genuinely agitated by this matter, so she was particularly stingy with Zhen Yu today.

"I can do it!"

Seeing how readily Zhen Yu agreed, Director Feng finally waved her sleeve and eased up.

"Go! Hurry back and write the self-criticism!"

---

After the flag-raising ceremony, Zhen Yu came to the school broadcasting room alone.

Inside the room was only a boy organizing the broadcasting equipment. He was startled to see Zhen Yu push the door open.

Then he asked, "Classmate, can I help you with something?"

"Director Feng sent me! I need to broadcast something," Zhen Yu replied, approaching the boy, "Can you please teach me how to use this?"

"Ah?!" At first, the boy was a bit taken aback, but mentioned the equipment and he quickly became alert. "This is how you turn it on, this is how you shut it off! I’ve already turned off the power; I’ll go and switch it on for you now."

"Thank you!" Zhen Yu followed him to see him turn on the power, then said, "I will turn off the power later, so if you have other things to do, you can go ahead!"

"I’m not busy!" The boy answered instantly! Then he added unnecessarily, "Besides, I have to lock the door later! I’ll leave after you’re done broadcasting!"

"That’s true!" Zhen Yu nonchalantly responded, took a deep breath, and turned on the broadcast.

---

"... Born into this world, we are divided into high and low, noble and humble! The world is inherently unfair! But as long as we are alive, we must never give up the fight! We must firmly believe in that one sentence, ’Will the noble Lords and honorable Officers be angry at our ambitious spirit?!’

People say, ’Thirty years on the east of the river, thirty years on the west’, but we don’t need thirty years! We only need three! In three years, all our efforts will be put to the test in the examination hall!

By that time! What does it matter if we start from different places? What does it matter if our entrance rankings are at the bottom?

There’s a saying, ’Early fattening doesn’t count, it’s the later fattening that crushes the bed!’

As long as we dare to strive, we can become fat in knowledge! Fat in thought! Fat in career! Fat in wealth!

We can break free from this inherent injustice of life! We can control our own destiny! Not subject to fate!

When you evolve from an ant into an elephant, who in this world would dare to overlook you?

Who! Else?!

To live is to fight for our own honor! Only when you dare to strive and dare to compete will you shine gloriously!

Fellow students! Are you ready to challenge this unjust world?!"

---

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..." The enthusiastic applause came not only from the classrooms and offices but also from behind Zhen Yu.

Seeing Zhen Yu turn off the broadcast, Ling Yang stepped forward and said, "Your speech was simply amazing! No wonder Director Feng recommended you to come here!"

"???" Zhen Yu touched her nose, "Are you misunderstanding something?"

"Misunderstanding what?!" Ling Yang scratched his head, "I just remembered it too! After the military training is over, Director Feng said she would recommend a freshman to take over my job at the broadcasting room. Wasn’t she talking about you?!"

"Ha ha... well, actually I came here to do a self-criticism..."
