Why did Huo Mingshan think this script was good looking...
It was mainly because, not long ago, Pu Sangzhi had run to the office to cry for Huo Feng, which had moved him.
So, now that he saw this script, although there were suspicions of being a copy, it was still quite motivational, and Huo Mingshan thought it could be taken to the stage.
There was just one thing, upon considering it, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but question, "Why does one have to die in the end?"
Pu Sangzhi replied, "Because, they said a tragic ending, earning so tears, would score more points."
It was mainly the suggestions from her roommates that made Pu Sangzhi feel she should start with a cody and end with a tragedy.
After all, it was for the first place...
Class leader Wu Beilei also asked Pu Sangzhi why one had to die.
After hearing what Pu Sangzhi had to say, she thought it made sense...
Therefore, after considering it, she also accepted it.
"Your concept does make sense. However, I always feel that the twist is a bit abrupt," Huo Mingshan pursed his lips, pondered for a long ti, "Or, if one must die, we can give the story an ancient setting. For example, ’An Alternate Butterfly Lovers,’ this way everyone might be more accepting of the setting where one dies... What do you think?"
Huo Mingshan was quite impressive.
With just a few words, he offered a suggestion, pinpointed the flaws, and found an alternative way to smooth it out.
Pu Sangzhi had also been hesitating whether writing soone to die would make the transition too abrupt?
However, thinking about how a tragedy could earn tears and could gather a wave of points, she felt she should write a bad ending.
"Teacher, should I make so changes?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
Huo Mingshan said, "We can settle on this for now. The first half has a good rhythm, and there are so funny parts. I feel like you could think of a few different endings... Or you could start rehearsals and see if it goes smoothly."
"Okay," Pu Sangzhi nodded, gladly accepting Huo Mingshan’s advice.
"Teacher, besides this, there’s another matter."
Upon seizing the opportunity, class leader Wu Beilei said to Huo Mingshan, "Yesterday, the student council decided that Sangzhi will be the evening gala’s female host."
"Really?"
Huo Mingshan was slightly surprised, "That’s great. Sangzhi, what do you think? Can you handle it?"
"Hmm,"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I can, teacher."
"That’s good then."
Huo Mingshan also nodded and said, "Teacher believes in you."
With that, having reported what had happened the day before, Pu Sangzhi and Wu Beilei left together.
After the two had left the office, Huo Mingshan leaned back in his chair, stretched lazily, and indulged himself in thinking more about the ambiguous matters between Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng.
As he pondered, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but smile and felt quite pleased.
Now, he was increasingly aware of Pu Sangzhi’s feelings toward his own Huo Feng...
Of course, he wasn’t entirely satisfied with Huo Feng either, but once he accepted it, he still hoped the two of them could be together.
At the mont, Huo Mingshan actually hoped the two kids would have smooth sailing.
But not smooth sailing in their relationship, rather smooth sailing in getting into Tsinghua.
Huo Mingshan was now looking forward to a future where both of them got into Tsinghua together, and the thought of it comforted him.
After Pu Sangzhi and Wu Beilei returned to the classroom, they reflected on the script issue for quite so ti...
Because she always had the notion of ending with a tragedy, she couldn’t get past it, and her mind was set on creating a twist...
As a result, her script underwent many changes, and the final version of the script was worlds apart from the original.
...
That evening, the campus belle and School Tyrant voting contest was conducted directly on the school’s forum.
One more post appeared on the forum, this post had only one floor, below which all replies were locked, refusing anyone to comnt.
And in that one floor, the voting content was displayed.
Nas plus photos, ready for voting.
Only students with an ID on the school network could vote, and each person had only one vote, thus eliminating the suspicion of outsiders rigging the vote.
However, this limitation ant that every boy and girl participating in the contest could not calculate their actual number of votes.
The voting would last a week, but it was believed that the post’s popularity would only be around these two days.
Because, the students who were interested in this event had quickly voted, so the students who wanted to vote in the following days wouldn’t be able to cast their vote anymore.
So, probably after the buzz dies down in the next two days, the number of votes won’t fluctuate much anymore.
By Friday, before leaving school, the campus belle and School Tyrant of Longxiang High School, as determined by popular opinion, can be decided!
Although Pu Sangzhi always felt that this was a boring post and a aningless event,
almost everyone around her was crazily focused on it.
That evening, once the forum opened for voting, those favored by popular opinion shot ahead in just a few minutes, far outstripping the competition!
For example, Pu Sangzhi, Han Feiyi, and Huo Feng... and also Zhao Jiajie, who suddenly popped up to compete with Huo Feng for the title of School Tyrant.
Their number of votes rose incredibly rapidly, leaving any lesser contenders far behind within minutes of the vote starting.
So, in just 15 minutes, the whole competition had beco a strategic ga among the four of them.
The showdown between Pu Sangzhi and Han Feiyi was especially fierce!
Zhu Dandan and class monitor Wu Beilei had been maneuvering around the first-grade classes, vigorously campaigning for Pu Sangzhi, urging all the first-graders to vote for her.
On Han Feiyi’s side, probably all the second-graders were encouraged to vote for her as well.
Both being in different grades, one in the first grade and the other in the second, they each had their own influence within their respective years, and thus it beca a numbers ga between the first and second graders.
"We’ve overtaken them, we’ve overtaken them!"
Just before lights out, a shout erupted from the girls’ dormitory. Zhu Dandan happily bounced on the bed. "Sangzhi! You’ve overtaken Han Feiyi by 10 votes now!"
Wen Miao and Dai Ya’an, who were in the sa dormitory, also logged on to the link to check the real-ti statistics.
Indeed, Pu Sangzhi was leading Han Feiyi by 10 votes...
Seeing that Pu Sangzhi had surpassed Han Feiyi, everyone was elated.
Only Pu Sangzhi herself had already buried her head under the covers early on, using the blanket to block out all the surrounding noise.
Pu Sangzhi disliked these contests yet found herself forced to pay attention to them, compelled to be aware of her own vote count and ranking.
It was quite stressful for her.
Because she didn’t want to be influenced by such an insignificant rivalry, but with everyone around her incessantly talking about it, it was almost impossible for her not to be affected.
Until this mont, Pu Sangzhi was actually a bit frightened of hearing the outco.
She didn’t want to hear about the process, nor did she want to know the results—even knowing that she had surpassed soone else left her feeling troubled, not pleased...
"Keep pushing, keep pushing~"
Zhu Dandan was still energetically busy on the other side, running to the group to announce the good news.
In this matter, Zhu Dandan could be said to be the most dedicated person in the entire dorm!
...
That night, the boys’ dormitory was also a hive of activity!
As a highly influential School Tyrant, Huo Feng had been hopping between nurous groups to canvas votes for himself and Pu Sangzhi!
Eventually, after more than an hour of hard work, he finally secured the lead for both himself and Pu Sangzhi on the campus belle and School Tyrant thrones!
Seeing his number of votes far exceeding Zhao Jiajie’s, and Pu Sangzhi’s finally surpassing Han Feiyi’s, Huo Feng finally allowed himself a satisfied smile.
Currently, Huo Feng was more than 50 votes ahead of Zhao Jiajie, and since they were all genuine votes, it would take a considerable effort for Zhao to catch up.
However, Pu Sangzhi was just 10 votes ahead of Han Feiyi, which was still a gap that could be easily closed.
After securing his own position, Huo Feng began to focus on securing Pu Sangzhi’s!
To ensure Pu Sangzhi kept her spot, Huo Feng took a risk by sending the link to his own father... Huo Mingshan!
At the sa ti, he sent a voice ssage to Huo Mingshan, "Old Huo, Old Huo, hurry up and get votes for the outstanding student of your class! Share this link in the teacher’s group, quickly!"
Huo Feng even considered involving the teachers...
As long as one had an account to log into the school intranet forum, they were a target for Huo Feng’s campaigning.
Soon, Huo Mingshan replied to Huo Feng: [Don’t ss around with this stuff. Just focus on your studies.]
"Ah, this stubborn old man!"
Huo Feng cursed, "Forget it, forget it, it was a mistake to ask him. I’ll send it to Old Zheng."
So, Huo Feng sent a WeChat ssage to Zheng Qiu to ask for help with voting!
Zheng Qiu replied to Huo Feng after about 5 minutes...
When Zheng Qiu responded, she included a screenshot of her having already voted, and also, a screenshot of Huo Mingshan privately ssaging her on WeChat, campaigning for Pu Sangzhi.
Zheng Qiu said to Huo Feng: [You’ve got so skills, pulling out your family’s big guns to help.]
But Huo Feng looked disbelieving...
Because just a few minutes ago, Old Huo had directly declined him! Unexpectedly, behind the scenes, he was secretly canvassing votes... Unbelievable!
