"He is a rebel, a soldier from the lower ranks. Because of the ruthlessness and corruption of the warlords, he chose to defect," Quan Jiu analyzed.
Ren Kui was confused again, "But Qiao Ran's analysis is also reasonable."
"It's not reasonable," Quan Jiu took the fragmented information from Qiao Ran's hand. "You still haven't thoroughly researched the information these four sentences give you.
Imagine, if Li Zuo truly held the power of life and death, would he still be agonizing over killing an officer or a soldier? Would he have this psychological shift? No, because he has absolute authority; his word is final, and he doesn't need to consider anything. The only one who would truly consider it is someone who is also a soldier from the lower ranks, wants to rebel, but still possesses a conscience.
This, this is the true identity of the protagonist in this fragment."
As soon as she finished speaking, the students were stunned. No one expected that such simple sentences could yield so much information.
Ren Kui was stunned for a good while before saying to the classmate next to her, "As expected of a screenwriter, amazing."
Qiao Ran also gave a thumbs-up and said with a grin, "Teacher, I've never met anyone as beautiful and capable as you."
Quan Jiu smiled and said, "Now you know how to act. You can try again."
Qiao Ran understood immediately. After adjusting her emotions, she performed again.
This time, although the movements were similar, her eyes were completely different. There was deliberation, the decisiveness of making up her mind, as well as ruthlessness and resentment towards the officer. Her emotions were full.
After the performance, there was enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Someone couldn't help but sigh, "Such a huge change in just a few minutes. I think I understand why a screenwriter is teaching us."
Ren Kui still lacked confidence, "Even so, we definitely can't compare to professional actors. Besides, can you compare to Tian Cheng and the others? They've suppressed us for four years, and you expect us to overtake them in a week? That's just daydreaming."
Qiao Ran, having returned to her seat, was philosophical. "Don't always compare yourself to them. Isn't it enough that we're improving? Besides, the teacher also said that for actors, numbers are the least important thing right now."
Ren Kui remained listless.
Quan Jiu then called on the next student.
The same method continued until the bell rang at noon, and all thirty-six students had finished their performances.
After class, Xiao Liu took Quan Jiu to lunch.
After eating, as Quan Jiu was about to go to the lounge, Yan Chi arrived, his face filled with urgency and anger.
"Teacher Nine, I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect Jin Xue to resort to such tactics. Her fan club is currently creating conflict online, and it's also affecting you. I've already informed the school and asked them to speak up for you."
Quan Jiu opened Weibo and looked at the trending searches, understanding immediately.
#Nine Steals Jin Xue's Speaking Slot, Who Gave Her the Confidence and Authority#
Under the topic, there was a flood of comments stirring up trouble.
Without guessing, she knew it was Jin Xue who had instigated her fan club.
Quan Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
Yan Chi couldn't figure out what she was thinking and could only advise, "Teacher Nine, don't be angry. The internet is like this, it shifts with the wind. Truth and falsehood are all mixed in."
Quan Jiu smiled indifferently, "It's okay, I have a knack for trending topics."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Feifei called.
Yan Chi took his leave.
Quan Jiu answered the phone. Before she could speak, she heard Wang Feifei's surprised voice, "Jiujiu, you're trending again. What's going on this time?"
"I encountered a difficult and willful person. Don't worry, I won't let her have the stage to herself."
"What?" Wang Feifei didn't understand. "So you have a solution? If all else fails, I can hire some internet trolls to curse her back."
"It's not the first time, I'm used to it," Quan Jiu said nonchalantly. "Don't worry, she'll be exposed soon."
After hanging up Wang Feifei's call, Quan Jiu dialed Wei Tao's number.
Wei Tao was browsing the internet for gossip. He didn't expect the subject of gossip to come to him personally. He eagerly asked, "How did you offend Jin Xue this time?"
Quan Jiu smiled helplessly. "I'll give you something. You find the right opportunity to release it, and it will bring you fame and fortune."
Wei Tao didn't give up his gossip-seeking spirit. "Then tell me what happened first."
"You'll know when you receive it," Quan Jiu hung up. She made a few operations on her phone and sent the item to Wei Tao.
After reading it, Wei Tao sent Quan Jiu countless thumbs-ups through the screen. "Sister, you're amazing, I admire you."
Quan Jiu smiled slightly, closed her phone, and comfortably lay on the sofa for a nap.
...
At 1:40 PM, Quan Jiu arrived at the classroom on time. However, before she even got close, she saw a group of people arguing noisily.
Quan Jiu walked over quickly and found that students from classes A and B were arguing.
"What's wrong, class monitor?" she asked Han Zhao.
Han Zhao was trying to break up the fight. Hearing her, he quickly walked over. "Teacher, you said this morning that you needed the performance rooms. There were originally two, but Class A occupied both. The students are arguing with them."
Tian Cheng said loudly, "We occupied them first. We divided into two teams for a competition, and you came later and tried to snatch our classrooms. Aren't you the unreasonable ones?"
Quan Jiu smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "In that case, since the classrooms were funded by you, we naturally cannot use them. However, we hope you can provide proof of funding to show that the classrooms were built by you."
Tian Cheng choked, momentarily unable to retort.
Cui Min immediately chimed in, "There's no need to speak so harshly. You're a screenwriter, is this your demeanor? Is it great to embarrass students?"
Qiao Ran, being straightforward, didn't care if the other person was a woman and retorted, "Cui Min, are you crazy? Did Teacher Nine say anything wrong? The classrooms weren't built by you, so why should you use two?"
Ren Kui also stepped forward to support her. "You, a student who hasn't graduated, have no right to criticize a teacher. Haven't you heard of respecting teachers? You're truly disgracing your mother."
Cui Min was so angry that she stepped forward to grab Ren Kui's hair, but Quan Jiu caught her wrist.
Quan Jiu looked at Cui Min with a smile. "If no one taught you manners before, I don't mind teaching you now: when interacting with classmates, you should love each other."
Cui Min, intimidated by Quan Jiu's aura, finally dared not make a sound. She could only struggle and whisper, "Let go."
Quan Jiu released her, clapped her hands, and said to class B, "Let's go, we're going to the performance rooms."
The students of class B triumphantly followed Quan Jiu to the performance rooms.
Unfortunately, as soon as the 2 o'clock class bell rang, Jin Xue led the students of class A and swarmed into the performance rooms.
"These are the classrooms we occupied first. Nine, it's one thing for you to steal my speaking slot, but it's really too much for you to snatch the students' classrooms," Jin Xue said provocatively to Quan Jiu.
Quan Jiu chuckled and walked up to Jin Xue, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the classroom to hear.
"Classmates, this is what 'occupying a latrine without defecating' means." She then said to Jin Xue, "Thank you, Teacher Jin Xue, for your personal demonstration. Your dedicated attitude is truly admirable."
Jin Xue immediately shouted angrily, "Watch your mouth."
"I always speak appropriately to the person I'm talking to. I speak human words to humans and ghost words to ghosts," Quan Jiu said with a half-smile. "For those with dark hearts, I naturally won't have pleasant words."
"You've got guts," Jin Xue took out her phone and aimed it at Quan Jiu, about to take a picture. "I'll post you online and let everyone judge. You're snatching student classrooms and verbally abusing me. I want to see if there's any justice."
Han Zhao stepped forward, blocking Jin Xue's camera, and said coldly, "Teacher Jin Xue, if you still have any self-respect, please leave and don't disrupt our class."
Jin Xue, attracted to Han Zhao's appearance and targeted by him, felt both ashamed and angry. She took a step back, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully, "Fine, fine, you all wait."
