Chapter 304: Chapter 304 "Fuck, I forgot to turn off the mic!
Lu Sheng’s words not only quieted the air in the principal’s office.
But also stilled the air in Classroom A.
Frankly speaking, when I first heard that Lu Sheng had already rejected three professors over the phone, I didn’t expect those professors to rush to Jiang City just to see her.
Any way you listen to it, it sounds very Versailles.
Even many people felt that although Lu Sheng’s tone sounded quite indifferent, it really seemed like she was showing off.
After all, looking across the whole of China, which high school student could have such treatment and honor.
These three professors, wherever they go, are revered and admired, always surrounded by people looking up to them.
Having the privilege of being chosen by them, with the three big names eagerly wanting to offer their special admission recommendation to her, who would refuse such an opportunity?
Moreover, the professors had all specifically made the trip to Jiang City with sincere words and offered irresistible enticing conditions—
To refuse again would be like refusing to acknowledge one’s own good luck, right?
But Lu Sheng, sure enough, rejected them again in person.
However, when the people in the class heard Lu Sheng’s reasons, they inevitably fell silent.
The college entrance examination is a big deal for everyone, because entering university is one of the most important turning points in everyone’s life.
Everyone wants to get into the best universities, and the choice of major is also very carefully considered.
But when choosing a major, most people first consider the prospects and development of studying that major, and only a few consider whether they are interested in it.
They have almost never heard anyone around them say that their choice of a major is to contribute as much as possible to society.
"I hope that the major I will study in the future has a deeper and more widespread impact, even one that can change society and the world."
"So I think, if I manage to learn something in this field later and make some contributions."
"Then perhaps, I could help protect the rights and interests of tens of millions of people."
The people of Class A, upon hearing these words in the classroom, could not help but feel an impression—Lu Sheng truly has a grand vision.
In this class, they are the top students of the entire senior year at Shengjing. Even the last in rank here would be the top student in any other class.
And Class A also has the most children from wealthy families.
The families of the students here are all very rich, having lived a life of luxury from a young age, and they all tend to be quite proud. It’s hard for them to genuinely feel that a peer is outstanding; they only secretly compare with each other.
But at this moment, they felt for the first time the gap between them and Lu Sheng.
It’s not just a gap in grades and abilities, but also in vision and outlook.
While they were still self-satisfied with a bit of achievement and honor, or troubled over which university major would be more promising and make the most money, Lu Sheng had long since stepped out of that level.
The strongest in ability, and with a heart both active and compassionate.
——
In the office.
After Lu Sheng shared her desire and reasons for choosing law, Wu Anmin, Ji Weiyuan, and Peng Hongyuan were all deeply touched.
Although Ji Weiyuan did value talent, he still had to express some regret as he spoke, "Indeed, you, child, are different from other kids."
"Shengsheng, rest assured, we are all aware of your wishes and will not pressure you any further."
"After all, once you get into Beijing University, even if you aren’t one of our direct students, as long as you are willing, we are all ready to be your mentors. Aren’t we, Old Wu, Old Peng?"
Peng Hongyuan couldn’t help but frown and dissatisfiedly said to Ji Weiyuan, "That’s true, but why do all the nice words have to come from you?"
"Thank you, Old Mr. Ji, thank you Professor Wu and Uncle Peng," Lu Sheng said upon seeing this, "It’s almost noon, you three have come all this way for me, let me invite the principal and all of you to lunch."
"We can have lunch, but us three old men do not need a kid to treat us," Peng Hongyuan said, "You haven’t finished school yet, right? Here’s the plan: you go back to the classroom, and we’ll just wait in the principal’s office. After your school is out, we can all go out together."
Lu Sheng nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Lu Sheng was planning to head back to the classroom just like that, but as soon as she opened the door of the office, she heard countless clicking sounds.
Several camera flashes blazed towards her at the same time. She was dazzled momentarily and subconsciously turned her head away and closed her eyes.
"What’s happening here?" Peng Hongyuan was closest to the door and hurried over to pull Lu Sheng to his side, an action that appeared very intimate with Lu Sheng.
"Oh, it’s like this," the principal hurriedly got up, "I don’t know how the Jiang City Newspaper found out about your visit, but they insisted on coming to the school to interview. Professors, what do you think..."
Wu Anmin, Ji Weiyuan, and Peng Hongyuan were all highly respected individuals in China and were well over fifty years old. They naturally understood what was going on with the situation before them.
All three of their plane tickets were booked privately, and it was only after arriving in Jiang City in the morning that they notified Principal Shengjing. How could the newspaper have gotten wind of it?
Clearly, the principal had taken the initiative to inform the journalists, bringing them here to interview and use the fame of the three of them to raise Shengjing’s reputation.
After all, Shengjing had a student that made all three of them rush to Jiang City to compete for her. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Once the news report was released, Shengjing’s fame would also rise nationwide in an instant.
In the future, it wouldn’t be impossible for wealthy people from other cities to spend a lot of money to send their kids to Shengjing for nurturing.
Although they knew what was going on, they couldn’t really object to it. After all, the principal had rushed over as soon as he heard the news and had brought Shengsheng to them. Accepting an interview was only fair in return.
Therefore, Peng Hongyuan said to Lu Sheng with a face full of concern, "It’s alright Shengsheng, go back to your classroom. We will see you after school."
But the journalists weren’t willing to let Lu Sheng simply walk away like that. One reporter shoved the microphone right in front of Lu Sheng’s face, only to be stared down unpleasantly by Peng Hongyuan.
"What are you doing! Shengsheng is not a public figure, stop filming her!"
Ji Weiyuan was famously blunt and foul-tempered, and Peng Hongyuan was known for being reclusive and prickly.
Seeing this, the reporter quickly retracted the microphone and Lu Sheng was able to return to the classroom with Zhou Wu.
Outside the classroom, Zhou Wu was still talking as he walked: "Classmate Lu Sheng, why didn’t you tell me after receiving calls from the three professors? I thought..."
As he was speaking, Zhou Wu’s voice trailed off, suddenly doubting his ears— could it be that he had heard his own voice coming from inside the classroom?
Then Zhou Wu looked down and suddenly realized something, inhaling a breath of shock on the spot.
That’s when Class A heard their usually genteel and refined class advisor’s voice coming from the speakers.
"Damn, I forgot to turn off the mic!"
People in the classroom couldn’t help exchanging glances with each other.
Indeed, in such a situation, even a teacher could only fully express their feelings with the words "damn".
