The weekend always goes by so fast. Before you know it, it's a new week again. Everyone is slowly getting used to the college schedule. The first class of the new week is still Teacher Wei's Academic English Reading and Writing. The teacher assigned howork last week. Xiao Qi discussed with the class's vice study committee mber and decided that she would collect the howork from the girls while Mao Wenshu would collect from the boys. It's quite difficult to gather howork from the whole class at once, so it's more convenient to do it by dormitory.
Because she had to collect howork, Xiao Qi ca to class a bit earlier. But then Mao Wenshu ran over and told her that he didn't collect all of them. Looking at his thin stack of howork, it was clearly less than half.
She had collected all of them from the girls. After all there were fewer girls, and they were generally more well-behaved and probably didn't want to lose face by not turning in howork.
When Mao Wenshu saw Su Xiaoqi frown slightly, he imdiately felt very ashad. He had thought this would be a simple matter of just collecting howork, but over the past couple days as he went around to each dorm to urge them, he had only collected howork from half of the students. At first he felt a bit unwilling about why he was the vice study committee mber, but now he wished he wasn't the study committee mber at all. It was so annoying to have to collect howork. Why couldn't they just voluntarily turn in howork on their own? They were all adults now. Shouldn't they be more self-disciplined about turning in howork?
Moreover, it seed overkill to make such a big deal over this little matter, taking attendance like they were still in middle school or high school and reporting nas to the teacher also seed odd. But with so many not turning in howork, it also seed useless that he was the study committee mber.
After thinking it over for a long ti, Mao Wenshu still pushed the bla onto Su Xiaoqi in the end. After all, she was the one in charge.
Looking at the stack of howork, Xiao Qi also felt a bit frustrated.
"Did you record who didn't turn in howork?" Xiao Qi asked. The class committee mbers had a roster.
Fortunately Mao Wenshu was still reliable on this point and nodded, "I recorded it."
"Give the list of nas."
Xiao Qi looked over the attendance sheet. There really were a lot of people who didn't turn in howork - half of the boys didn't turn it in, which was equal to half the class. She had thought that since they were in university, everyone would be more proactive adults who understood that they should study diligently. But it turns out many still lacked self-discipline.
She was too lazy to go find each person individually now. The current Xiao Qi felt that ti was too precious. Anything outside of studying, unless necessary, was a waste.
She directly took a photo of the na list and posted it in the class group chat. "For all classmates who still haven't turned in howork, turn it in to by the end of the break between the first and second class today at the latest. No exceptions."
Then the class group chat exploded.
To be honest, the group had been quite quiet these past couple days, other than the occasional red packet sent by wealthy students. No one had made a peep.
But suddenly the study committee mber popped out with this ssage and directly posted the list of nas of those who didn't turn in howork.
Everyone was stunned.
So who had left their howork in the dorm rushed back to grab it. So who really hadn't done it prepared to hastily finish it before class.
And when Li Weijin saw his own na on the list...he rembered that he also hadn't done it. He never did his howork.
He had always felt this was very natural. But he hadn't expected the study committee mber to be so strict about this. If it were soone else, he would've felt they were being nosy and ddling too much. But since it was the study committee mber Su Xiaoqi, Li Weijin actually felt she was right to be so principled and strict about this as the study committee mber.
Then he raced back to his dorm to grab his notebook...
Not only to grab his own, but to urge others who hadn't turned in howork to hurry and do so...
The boys were in a frenzy, halfway through breakfast when they were chased out.
Mao Wenshu looked at the class group chat, pushed his glasses up, and thought to himself that he had wanted to post in the group too but felt it was a bit offensive to list everyone's nas openly like that.
He hadn't expected everyone to obediently listen!
He should try posting like this next ti too?
Xiao Qi didn't bother with the aftermath. After posting, she started reading her book. She had previewed today's lesson twice already and felt very relaxed. She discovered that if you grasped languages, it was the simplest subject, much easier than calculus, economics, and the like.
As she was reading, Teacher Wei had also arrived. Seeing the sparse students in the classroom, he smiled.
Then he started preparing the courseware, but for so reason today, the teacher's USB drive didn't seem compatible with the computer. He kept getting pop up windows when plugging it in saying the USB device couldn't be recognized...
He plugged it in several tis as the middle-aged Teacher Wei, whose hair was still thick, awkwardly listened to the computer going bong, bong, bong.
Xiao Qi was also at a loss when it ca to computers. She had only started using them after entering university when she bought a laptop. In high school she had only used the school computer lab, so she was completely clueless.
At this ti Teacher Wei spoke up, "Could a classmate help figure this out?"
Xiao Qi didn't expect that the one who went up was her dorm mate, Yunshu.
Yunshu was usually a shut-in who spent all day reading novels.
They watched as she brought her own laptop up and tested the USB drive first. The USB drive itself had no issues.
Then she tried all the ports on the classroom computer, but there was still a problem that prevented connecting because the classroom computer was connected to the projector screen so everything she did on it could be seen below.
Xiao Qi watched as Yunshu updated a driver, but it still didn't work.
Then she calmly opened Device Manager, clicked on Universal Serial Bus controllers, then USB Mass Storage Device, and chose Enable Device.
These series of operations were already very professional, at least completely beyond new student Xiao Qi. But the USB still couldn't be recognized normally. Yunshu continued to click on USBRootHub under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, then opened Power Managent and unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". She confird it after that.
This ti when the USB was plugged in, the bong bong sounds finally stopped and the USB could be recognized.
Teacher Wei thanked her and Yunshu just smiled and returned to her seat.
Watching this series of operations, Xiao Qi was completely lost. Although it looked simple, she didn't understand any of it at all. Watching Yunshu click around with her mouse, everything was fixed just like that.
People really had different talents. She had thought she was pretty outstanding at Enhua. It seed great and she felt pretty good about herself. But now she realized her sights had been too narrow. This was just Enhua, a third-rate school, yet there were many outstanding students around her already. If she went to a top university, the competition would be truly fierce with countless people more excellent than her. She hadn't achieved anything yet and had no reason to be arrogant at all. She still needed to keep studying diligently.
Thinking this, Xiao Qi's slightly inflated ego in the past few days deflated back to its original size. She should focus on studying well. She knew too little. The less you know, the easier it is to beco conceited.
Moreover, she should set a study goal for herself. If her only benchmark was her classmates, most of whom didn't even do their howork and acted smug just for doing howork, her progress would be too slow.
Young people should use their limited ti to learn unlimited knowledge.
Xiao Qi beca more solemn thinking this. She read even more attentively.
She continued previewing what was coming up.
