When hearing Jiang Yingying’s questioning, the counselor was not surprised. He simply looked at Jiang Yingying calmly and said, "Outstanding students are not limited to academic performance."
Jiang Yingying heard the counselor's implication that her character was inferior to Xia Qingtian's, and her face immediately turned red and then pale.
Despite her ten thousand unwillingness, due to the morning's incident, Jiang Yingying had no way to defend herself.
Although, she still felt that Xia Qingtian had deliberately calculated against her.
Otherwise, why would Xia Qingtian be so good friends with that person called Erya?
She absolutely did not believe that a lady from the Xia family would condescend to be friends with a security guard.
Moreover, why did that Erya come at precisely the time Professor Tang was looking for someone?
And it was such a coincidence that Erya wrote the correct answers on Xia Qingtian's test paper.
Xia Qingtian then deliberately handed that test paper to her, asking her to copy it.
If it weren't for Xia Qingtian's scheming, how would she have seen such detailed answers, how would she have copied them, and how would she have lost so much face today!
It was all Xia Qingtian's fault!
Vile Xia Qingtian, while the Xia family was competing for market share against the Jiang family, Xia Qingtian was making things difficult for her in school!
It was truly sickening!
Of course, these were all Jiang Yingying's own speculations. She had no concrete evidence to prove her innocence and couldn't tell the counselor about her grievances.
However, she was not convinced that Xia Qingtian would have such a good opportunity.
Even if she didn't get such an opportunity, Xia Qingtian wouldn't get it either!
"I believe that for outstanding students, attitude towards learning is the most fundamental," Jiang Yingying knew that Xia Qingtian had poor attendance, so she latched onto this point.
Upon hearing Jiang Yingying's words, the counselor smiled, then retorted, "Jiang Yingying, who do you think has a better attitude towards learning, you or Xia Qingtian?"
"I'd say I'm a bit better than her," Jiang Yingying said this with unusual confidence.
"Is that so?" The counselor changed his posture and asked, "Then where is Xia Qingtian now, and where are you?"
"I..." This question choked Jiang Yingying.
The person with the more upright attitude towards learning was wasting time in the counselor's office, while the one being looked down upon was attending class.
These questions, every word dripped with sarcasm.
"Jiang Yingying, I know you feel wronged, but there will be many more opportunities like this. You're only in your freshman year, and there's still plenty of time for recommendations and studying abroad. As long as you perform well, these opportunities won't be lacking for you. Everyone is equal in the face of opportunity." The counselor offered a very perfunctory and casual consolation, saying, "You should go back to class first. Attitude towards learning is indeed very important."
Hearing the counselor's last sentence, Jiang Yingying's face turned completely red. She lowered her head, mumbled a farewell, and fled from the counselor's office as if running away.
After Jiang Yingying left, the counselor sneered, shaking his head. He then brought up the document and continued to edit Xia Qingtian and Li Xiaoxiao's information into the document before submitting it.
Looking at the student list placed on his desk, the counselor's gaze swept over Jiang Yingying's name and student ID, and he shook his head in his heart.
Family background and knowledge are the boosters for these students on the track of life, but what truly determines how far they can go on this track is their character.
Jiang Yingying will not go far.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yingying felt extremely wronged and had no mood to return to class.
Anyway, this class was in a large lecture hall, and attendance was taken randomly.
It was fine if she didn't go, and she didn't want anyone to see her disheveled appearance right now.
And that damned counselor.
He actually had the audacity to talk about equality in the face of opportunity!
Nonsense!
How thick-skinned could one be to spout such drivel!
If it weren't for Li Xiaoxiao having a good family background, would she have the chance to become a campus star?
That should have been hers!
If Xia Qingtian hadn't been good at currying favor, first with Li Xiaoxiao and then with Di Erya, would she be so smooth sailing now? Would she be nominated?
That should have been hers too!
It was all hers!
Unfair! It was completely unfair!
Everyone was bullying her, being jealous of her!
After crying for a while, Jiang Yingying walked back, washed her face, and reapplied her makeup. By the time she reached the front of the teaching building, it was time for the break after class.
Xia Qingtian and Li Xiaoxiao were walking out, chatting and laughing.
The two saw Jiang Yingying standing at the bottom of the steps and both intended to avoid her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yingying stepped forward and blocked them.
"Is something wrong?" Xia Qingtian asked Jiang Yingying.
Jiang Yingying looked at Xia Qingtian and Li Xiaoxiao, bit her lower lip, and said coldly, "I admit, I was stupid to be tricked by you this time, but next time! I will definitely not lose to you!"
"Are you sick or something?" Xia Qingtian finally couldn't help herself.
This Jiang Yingying was truly outrageous. Ever since the military training at the beginning of the semester, she had been causing trouble for her, and now she was acting like a victim.
What?
Was she begging Jiang Yingying to copy the answers from her test paper?
Or was she begging Jiang Yingying to impersonate her?
Jiang Yingying's own vanity led her to make a fool of herself and still not restrain herself, and now she was coming out with some declaration about being sick?
"Don't give up treatment," Xia Qingtian gave Jiang Yingying a sideways glance and prepared to walk around her.
One shouldn't engage with people with such sick minds. The more you talk to her, the more she'll take advantage and think highly of herself.
"Yingying!" At this moment, Jiang Yingying's followers also gathered around her, looking at her with concern.
Seeing that Xia Qingtian looked down on her and didn't take her seriously, Jiang Yingying couldn't hold back. She ignored her followers, clenched her fists, and shouted at Xia Qingtian and Li Xiaoxiao, "Do you think people are fools just because they don't get angry!"
This time, not only Xia Qingtian and Li Xiaoxiao had subtle expressions, but other passing students also looked at Jiang Yingying with surprise, and her followers' expressions were also a bit subtle.
"It doesn't matter if you get angry or not," Xia Qingtian left that sentence, then pulled Li Xiaoxiao and walked away, "Stay away from her, she's losing her mind."
Seeing that Xia Qingtian completely disdained her, Jiang Yingying's blood rushed to her head in anger.
At this moment, Jiang Yingying's body swayed, appearing as if she was about to faint from anger.
"Hey!" Jiang Yingying's follower couldn't help but shout at Xia Qingtian's retreating back, "You made Yingying so angry, and you don't have a single word to say! Is being a big star so great!"
Hearing this, Xia Qingtian stopped, turned her head to look at Jiang Yingying's follower, who, not expecting her words to make Xia Qingtian turn back, couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Moving her gaze from Jiang Yingying's follower's face to Jiang Yingying's face, Xia Qingtian said, "Professor Yu took attendance last class, and it was our class's turn. You were the only one in the entire class who wasn't there. You've been marked absent, and 10 points will be deducted from your credits. Instead of throwing a tantrum here, think about what you're going to do about your credits this semester."
After saying this, Xia Qingtian turned and walked away with Li Xiaoxiao.
"You're... you're lying..." Jiang Yingying jolted, and immediately looked at her followers.
Their gazes clearly avoided making eye contact with Jiang Yingying, and only then did they reluctantly nod.
"!" Jiang Yingying finally fainted spectacularly at this moment.
