That same evening, "The Technical Skills of the Workplace" was broadcast.
Lu Yanhe was studying with everyone in the classroom when he suddenly heard someone scream next to him.
Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise.
Ying Hetian secretly took off one of his headphones and gave him a thumbs up.
Lu Yanhe looked puzzled.
Because he was in evening study, he didn't feel comfortable talking to Ying Hetian.
There is a person in between.
Lu Yanhe continued to concentrate on doing the questions.
There was more and more commotion around, and everyone seemed to be secretly watching what was going on, taking out their mobile phones one after another.
Lu Yanhe ignored it and waited until the first evening study session ended. As soon as the bell rang, he heard Ying Hetian say loudly, "Lu Yanhe, from today on, you are my idol! I recognize you as my idol!"
Lu Yanhe had a "what the hell" expression on his face.
"What?"
Then, Lu Yanhe knew why everyone was making a commotion just now.
It turned out that the show "Technical Skills in the Workplace" was broadcast, and it happened to be the episode he participated in recording.
Ying Hetian turned on the public broadcast and played the part where Lu Yanhe spoke to everyone.
"Some teachers said that B's boss approached A and offered him a training trip to headquarters in exchange for giving up the project. This is a classic exchange of benefits. A could have refused, but if he did, it was his own decision." In the video, Lu Yanhe wasn't speaking according to the screenwriter's script. At that moment, he was thinking of Xu Zijun, which led him to express these feelings. "Of course, A is an adult. Whether he agreed or not, it was his own decision. What A did was beyond reproach. But why should the focus be on A's choice? Shouldn't the focus be on B's boss? He disrespected the established rules and used a seemingly fair exchange of benefits to make A give up a project that could have been won. What we should really focus on and discuss is this behavior that clearly uses unfair means to interfere with normal competition, but is labeled as a fair exchange of benefits."
…
Lu Yanhe had even forgotten what he had said.
At this moment, when Lu Yanhe heard his own voice playing from the mobile phone, he felt a different feeling.
At that time, he didn't know that Xu Zijun's family had accepted money from Chu Saiying's family. He only knew that Xu Zijun had given up the recommendation qualification, and he had a bad premonition - under that premonition at the time, he said these words.
Unexpectedly, it corresponds to what happened today.
Even Li Pengfei was surprised and asked, "Old Lu, have you known about this for a long time?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "No, I didn't know at the time. It was during the recording of the program that something similar happened, and that's when I said those words."
"You said what I wanted to say but didn't know how to say," Li Pengfei said. "I'm telling you, this isn't Xu Zijun's fault no matter how you look at it. And that idiot Luo Zicheng keeps saying it's a fair trade to defend that bastard Chu Saiying."
Li Pengfei was obviously still angry with Luo Zicheng and Chu Saiying, and looked unhappy.
Lu Yanhe looked towards Xu Zijun's seat.
She was still sitting in her seat, buried in her book, as if the discussions around her had nothing to do with her.
-
Lu Yanhe's speech on the show was intercepted and spread among all the class groups in the school overnight.
After the second evening self-study session, Lu Yanhe went to catch the bus.
As a result, I happened to run into two girls talking in front of me, and they were talking about Lu Yanhe’s speech on the show.
"What Lu Yanhe said is absolutely right."
"That's right. Xu Zijun's family didn't have any money to begin with. Chu Saiying's family offered Xu Zijun two hundred thousand to give up. I don't believe Xu Zijun was willing to give up. Going to college is her own business. If her family hadn't asked her to, would she have agreed?"
"I've seen her secretly crying several times before. It must be because of this incident."
…
As soon as Lu Yanhe arrived at the dormitory, Yan Liang asked about this matter.
Although he rarely went to school, he was also in the class group. Tonight, students from almost every class were talking about this matter in the group, and Yan Liang also saw it.
Lu Yanhe gave a brief explanation.
Yan Liang immediately said, "But even if Xu Zijun was forced by her family, she agreed to it herself, so it can't be considered as Chu Saiying bullying her."
"Not really." Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I never felt that Chu Saiying bullied her, but this is wrong, and blaming Xu Zijun for it is even more wrong."
"What exactly does Chu Saiying's family do? They can even spend 200,000 yuan just for a recommendation indicator for independent enrollment. Once this matter is exposed, will he still be able to keep his place?" Yan Liang asked curiously.
"It depends on the school's decision," Lu Yanhe said. "Either they insist on sticking with it and not changing it, or they cancel Chu Saiying's extension and give it back to Xu Zijun."
However, he did not expect that as soon as he finished saying this, someone in the class group came up and said that the school was considering revoking Chu Saiying's independent enrollment recommendation qualification.
"It's said that today, over 50 students wrote complaint letters to the principal's mailbox, and even the school forum was temporarily closed."
Lu Yanhe logged into the school forum with some surprise, only to find that he really couldn't get in.
It seems that too many people were discussing this matter on the school forum, which put the school under a lot of pressure, so they closed the forum.
There was a lot of discussion in the class group.
The group of people were so lively that they didn't look like high school students preparing for exams at all.
Things like fairness and justice can always easily touch these young people.
Even if it doesn't concern me, I will passionately oppose all injustice.
Even when Lu Yanhe was live streaming, someone mentioned in the comments that many people on their school forum were arguing about the number of recommended places for independent enrollment, but this matter did not attract much attention and quickly passed by.

"Principal Song, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
A middle-aged man and woman, dressed in elegant attire, sat in a house decorated in a rather low-key and simple style. They looked a bit out of place, but they were quite respectful towards the owner of the house.
Principal Song raised his hand slightly, indicating that they should not worry about this matter.
"No one wants to see something like this happen," Principal Song sighed. "However, since this incident has attracted so much attention and public opinion, the subsequent events are beyond my control. We just received a notice to seriously study the matter of Chu Saiying's recommendation. My opinion alone doesn't count."
"Principal Song, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter." The woman smiled gracefully and gently. "We know that you can't violate principles or school regulations in this matter. If that were the case, we wouldn't be able to ask for your help. But as long as someone else gives up, the recommendation quota will be postponed. This is also the practice in previous years, isn't it?"
Principal Song smiled.
"We're sorry to have caused you this trouble. It's just a small token of our gratitude. Please accept it." The woman picked up a gift bag at her feet, brought it to the coffee table, and pushed it toward Principal Song. "It's just a box of tea leaves, not expensive. Please don't refuse it."
