Chapter 421 Reality Is Often More Ridiculous
[Master, I still can't find Ling Ling in the Affiliated High School... What should I do? ]
Pu Tong, who was doing his homework, saw the message from Xie Mu. This guy really didn't forget his original intention. The TV series has only been filming for two or three days, and he has already started investigating?
What surprised Pu Tong even more was that Xie Mu didn't find anything.
[I checked the transcript of the last final exam. Although there are students named Tao Lingyue and Xia Ziling, their grades are not very good. ]
Xie Mu was afraid that he had missed it, and he took photos of each page and went back to look carefully, but he couldn't find the female academic bully with the word "Ling" in her name.
He now suspected that he had made a wrong inference. Her name did not contain the word "Ling"...
Or maybe she really was not from this school, and Ling Ling had been lying to him?
Impossible, Xie Mu immediately rejected this idea. He knew that Ling Ling was not that kind of person. She would choose not to say many inconvenient things, but she would never choose to lie.
[The transcript list can't explain anything. What if there is another hidden story? ]
Pu Tong knew that Ling Ling didn't take the final exam at all. Her body couldn't stand the torment. Besides, for her, there was really no need to take such a small exam.
Besides, her father is a school leader. What's wrong with not taking the exam?
[There is another hidden story... Master, I understand! ]
Really understand?
Pu Tong felt that his hint was still a little vague. Could it be that this kid has noticed something?
[Is there such a possibility that Ling Ling is actually a master of controlling scores. She pretended to be a poor student in school and planned to make a splash in the college entrance examination? ]
Ah? Can you still think so?
Pu Tong remembered that this guy was a master of thinking and could always avoid all the correct answers.
Mu, your teacher overestimated you!
[Who has nothing to do to control scores? Think about it again? For example, not taking the exam...]
This hint is obvious enough. Pu Tong rubbed his eyebrows. If he can still think wrongly, he can really be buried.
[Didn't take the exam? Impossible. Ling Ling talked to me about the exam questions during the exam days. She even complained that the questions were boring.]
Xie Mu didn't believe that Ling Ling didn't take the exam. After all, if she didn't take the exam, she should have been ranked last with zero points. How could her name not be on the list?
[Is there a possibility that someone above her in school...]
Although I don't know why Ding Yutao wanted to reduce his daughter's presence in school so low, Pu Tong believes that this must be his handiwork. For someone of his status, isn't it easy to keep his daughter from appearing on the transcript?
[Master, do you think it's more likely that someone didn't take the exam and then relied on his background to remove his name from the transcript, or that she was lowering her score?]
"Of course..."
Pu Tong subconsciously replied, but then froze in place. Yes, if these two possibilities are put together, it is obviously more likely that the score is manipulated!
Although the score manipulation is not common, it only involves personal factors, but Ding Lingling's real situation involves more elements.
From Xie Mu's perspective, his opinion seemed to sound a bit ridiculous...
Although Xie Mu didn't say it explicitly, he still felt that Pu Tong's opinion was a bit too ridiculous.
But the problem is that the reality is even more ridiculous. What he said was obviously true, so how could it become nonsense without any basis?
Seeing Xie Mu gradually confirm his guess that Ding Lingling was controlling the score, Pu Tong was numb. No one believed the truth these days.
He was clearly telling the truth, so how could it become nonsense?
[Master, I decided to ask Tao Lingyue and Xia Ziling. Maybe one of them is Lingling who controls the score. ]
Okay, okay, so brave?
Go and ask directly. Aren't you afraid that the girls will say he is a loser!
Not necessarily. After all, Xie Mu is handsome, rich, and a star. What if those two girls are crazy about him?
If he really does this, the hat of Mr. Xie being a playboy will be confirmed. Ding Yutao probably has to guard against him.
[You should ask your senior classmates during the break in filming. Don't be impulsive. ]
Xie Mu replied with a nodding emoticon. I don't know if he really listened or was just perfunctory.
If you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer.
Pu Tong is not a mother's son, and Xie Mu is not a mama's boy. Young people have to try many things on their own. This is Xie Mu's own business. He will only stop at a certain point and let others experience it on their own.
"The more you experience, the calmer you will be when you know the truth..."
After chatting, he flipped through his phone and saw the video of the opening ceremony yesterday. The school acted quickly and obviously did not intend to lose this battle.
[Pu Tong made a speech at the opening ceremony of Huailin No. 1 Middle School. ]
The title of the video is quite simple, which can be said to be a clear selling point. It is not hidden, and Pu Tong's name is directly mentioned. They still know who is the most popular.
It is rare for No. 1 Middle School to have a student as popular as Pu Tong, so we must make good use of this unique advantage.
In order to make Pu Tong play a greater role, the official blog of Huailin No. 1 Middle School even cut out a clip of Pu Tong's speech and released a "pure enjoyment version"...
This video is very popular, with many comments and likes, and the data is not inferior to the top short videos.
His popularity is one aspect, and the excellence of this speech is another.
For netizens who are used to listening to the same old routine speeches, Pu Tong's unique speech is refreshing.
"I still believe in this kid's writing skills, and he didn't disappoint me."
"It's also a message to persuade students to study, but Pu Tong's words sound particularly comfortable. The reason is that I think it's because he is chatting with us from the perspective of a companion, not pointing fingers at us from the perspective of a preacher."
"That's right. I even feel a little rebellious when listening to those self-proclaimed positive energy messages for the start of school. I just don't want to learn, but after listening to Pu Tong's speech, I have the idea of being more serious."
Pu Tong was very happy watching everyone's discussion. In fact, everyone knows the importance of studying hard and making progress every day. Many people are always struggling with the contradiction between not wanting to study and having to study every day, which makes them more unwilling to study, and even afraid of learning and hate learning.
Pointing and pointing will only backfire, and soft persuasion is a rational move.
It is because everyone likes Pu Tong's down-to-earth and casual speech that the popularity of the video has been rising steadily, and the discussion has been getting higher and higher.
However, it is still not comparable to the popularity of other TV dramas. Entertainment things are always more discussed. The crew can attract a group of passers-by to watch by just putting out a shooting easter egg.
Although their opening ceremony still impacted the busy Normal University Affiliated High School, the follow-up was weak. Objectively speaking, No. 1 High School still lost.
Pu Tong thought so, and the next second he received a call from Ding Yutao. The other party called at this juncture. He didn't believe that it had nothing to do with this competition.
"Your school's opening ceremony... is a bit interesting!"
Ding Yutao and others didn't expect Huailin No. 1 High School to counterattack. These two days, their school was in full swing because of the crew's filming. Unexpectedly, No. 1 High School came out again and almost overtook.
Fortunately, the opening ceremony is only a matter of the beginning of the school year. Although Pu Tong's speech is excellent, it can only be popular for this period of time, and it will eventually fade away due to the lack of follow-up.
Fortunately, this kid didn't do anything weird afterwards.
Ding Yutao called to talk about the competition this time, with a bit of a winner's attitude, and on the other hand, to ask him about supervising Xie Mu.
Pu Tong responded with a few words, and of course he couldn't really tell anyone about the two of them.
"By the way, Uncle Ding, I have a question for you." He paused and said puzzledly: "Why did you remove your daughter's name from the transcript!"
Pu Tong was really puzzled by this matter. It was obviously a true story, but it was so outrageous. If he didn't know the reason, he would always feel awkward.
[Because she took every exam at home alone, and she participated in the exam in accordance with the conditions, but if her score was up, other students would think too much, and it would be unfair to her seriousness to give her a zero score...]
So that's it.
If there was no name on the transcript, it made sense that Ding Lingling talked to Xie Mu about the exam content, because she really participated in the exam seriously.
"See, it's not me who is talking nonsense!"
