Chapter 204: A Passionate Audience
Chapter 204: A Passionate Audience
“You can’t deny Princess’s grade just because she didn’t do good in her Freshman year. Look at her grade this year, she’s improved so much. How many of you have all 80 above for every class?”
“Yeah, last semester, her rank increased by 20! It means that she’s been studying hard and trying to be better!”
“I analyzed sis’s grades and I found out that the concert grade was very inaccurate. Sis even got an 85 for Basketball – PE, plus, she doesn’t even know the sport that well! Courses like this are mainly based on usual grades. Doesn’t the chamber music concert have any average grades? Who scores only 60 on average?” — Otaku Boy
“That’s right, in my school, teachers usually take care of the students when they are grading. They try their best to grade according to the real situation because they’re afraid that students get expelled because of them. Though Man Man and Xiaoru’s trio performance wasn’t exactly within the limits of the rules, they had an amazing performance nonetheless, and netizens had a great reaction about it as well. Their musical skills are undeniable, I don’t understand what this teacher was trying to prove by giving Man Man a 60.” — Peach is a Fairy
The old fans of Princess Man knew that these two administrators were geniuses from Capital University and Jinghua University. Most people on the internet worship these geniuses like cults. If the geniuses day this, then it must be true that the scores were rigged.
“Princess, did you ask the teacher about this situation?”
“Yeah, I feel like sis did something wrong to piss off the teacher, hence the reason behind the low score.”
“I also have 60 for this class! Did I also piss off the teacher?” — Xixihaha
“‘Xixihaha is the roommate of sis, she’s the beauty that played piano.”
“I know, ever since I saw her performance, I followed her on Weibo.”
“I followed her as well.”
“Me too…”
Li Xiaoru now has over 5000+ followers on Weibo.
TL Note: I’m not sure why the author felt the need to include this in the story though it has nothing to do with the plot- Oh well.
Liu Man didn’t think that Li Xiaoru was also watching her live stream this evening.
“I’m so angry! I’m not the same as Man Man, I’m a ‘Genius’! My grades have always been very good. I was ranked 15 in the last semester, and 11 and 13 in the freshman year. Guess my rank this semester. How low do you think it is?” — Xixihaha
TL Note: Then again, I forgot how to translate Li Xiaoru’s username, tell me if I did it right or wrong ?
Also, by ‘genius’ Li Xiaoru was referring to her having great scores and studying very hard, it’s not offensive to Liu Man since she did have terrible academics in the past (and still kinda does). The author just conveyed this sentence very offensively-
“Xiaoru, don’t.” Liu Man frowned and said. She did not want Li Xiaoru to appear on the Internet. If she exposed the dark side of the school in the live broadcast room right now. Not only the problem wouldn’t solve, she might also get expelled. Liu Man can’t risk it.
“I have to, you’re about to be expelled, I can’t just sit here and watch!” — Xixihaha
Li Xiaoru was very determined.
“Princess and her roommate have such a good relationship, I’m a bit touched.”
“Our streamer has always been good in her social life. She can become friends with a lot of people.”
“Don’t change the topic guys, I need to hear Xixihaha’s ranking this semester.”
“I actually ranked 71st this semester. Isn’t it ridiculous? My scores in every other course are all above 85, and only the chamber music concert scored 60. Our teacher Zhu Xiyang pushed me from the forefront to the end of the rank at once. There is now little hope of securing a postgraduate in the future now.” — Xixihaha
Li Xiaoru was fearless, she directly pointed out Zhu Xiyang’s full name.
“According to what I know, except from me and Man Man, every other class all has at least 70. In the whole grade, no, in the whole Western Music Major, only us two are this low.” — Xixihaha
“This is obviously rigged.”
“The teacher of this course is called Zhu Xiyang? Let me go to Baidu to see who he is.”
“I’ve already searched him up. It is in the Baidu Encyclopedia. Looking at his profile, he’s pretty talented. He graduated from the famous American music school Berkeley and graduated from the Capital Conservatory of Music. The famous young pianist has participated in a lot of large-scale national concerts and performed a solo in each of them.”
“666666.”
“Stop saying 66666, you guys have to be mindful of the situation. He’s the culprit of Princess being forcefully expelled, and diminishing the chance of her roommate being a postgraduate.”
“That’s right, this person is evil!”
Now that Li Xiaoru has been implicated already, Liu Man simply went out and said, “The overall ranking for the four semesters has been released. It is estimated that the notice of my dismissal will be issued soon, so my mother and I went to school together today. My mother wanted to discuss with the leader of the department, but the leader avoided seeing her. The leader even told the counselor to tell them that he’s just following the rules and that he can’t change anything.”
“To be honest, the leader’s words didn’t have a problem, but the streamer’s mom even went. He should at least meet her, but he didn’t even show his face. I think that’s a bit disrespectful.”
“It’s more than a bit, he looks down at people a lot! Our school also has this kind of leader.”
“But this is the truth of the world. Though sis is famous, she built up her reputation and fame from scratch. She isn’t a real influencer, the only people she can sway are only us fans. In real life, no one would even care about this. Look at her background, she has nice designs in her room, but it’s only normal family furniture. Her family is at most middle-class, obviously she’s not a super rich girl. Why should the school leader give her mother recognition?”
“The person above is speaking the truth. Society is too cruel.”
“Society is like this in the first place. Many people are snobbery. Don’t think that the leaders and teachers of the university are so noble. They know in their hearts, which students are rich and which are poor.”
“You know, the exact reason why we try to find someone to talk to in a stream room is because we want to escape this reality.”
“I feel so sorry for our Princess.”
“Her mother is so pitiful, she ran all the way to school, they didn’t even see her.”
……
Liu Man also thought that her mother has suffered enough injustice. Seeing the netizens also saying how was unfair for her mother, her determination for exposing this was even firmer.
“Leaving the department leadership office building, I sent a text message to Teacher Zhu, asking him about his score, and he asked me to meet with him to discuss in detail.”
“That’s so weird, why do they have to meet up in person? Teachers that are successful are usually super busy. They tend to sort everything on a phone call.”
“Yeah, normally, teachers have too much to do to even meet up with students. They usually don’t want students to interrupt their private life.”
“I feel like things are starting to take a weird turn….”
