Destiny is a good word.
Because no matter what goes well or unfavorably for you, it will never go wrong to leave it to fate.
But for Zheng Qing, fate is more like a synonym for bad luck, like a noose on the execution platform, tied around his neck, tightening little by little and refusing to let go until death.
Just like now, the noose is tightening a little more.
The young public-funded student couldn't help but tug at his loose collar, feeling a little out of breath. When Jiang Yu read out the name of the report, he had a feeling that something was wrong. He counted with his fingers, "Daily Bugle"
It had been a full seven weeks since the "Newspaper" report was published, and he had no idea that anyone would still pay attention to that article.
In other words, there are still people who use that article to make a fuss.
He originally thought that the storm had slowly subsided with the passage of time - especially after he had just experienced a winter hunt and saw palms as big as mountains falling from the sky, which almost pushed his memory of that article to the deepest part of his mind - and then in a blink of an eye
, and was roughly searched out.
No wonder the fat man said it was an ‘old news’.
Thinking of this, the young public-funded student couldn't help but glared at the fat man angrily again. The fat wizard shrugged innocently and stuffed another sour plum covered in frosting into his mouth.
Jiang Yu's clear voice reading the newspaper echoed among the four listeners.
Everyone was attentive and very quiet - but some people, like Xiao Xiao, were really listening carefully to the content of this report; some people, like Zhang Jixin, were pretending to be serious; and some people, like Zheng Zheng, were pretending to be serious.
Qing, on the other hand, is afraid to miss every word.
Only when the witch read the words of an unnamed source and mentioned that "he is a very philandering person and has ambiguous relationships with many witches" did some uneasy sounds come from the audience.
Several wizards cleared their throats in unison, with a certain public-funded student being the loudest among them.
It's like coughing twice can knock out some words from the newspaper.
The witch who was reading the newspaper seemed unaware. She seemed not to hear the nearby noise at all, and still read the newspaper in her hand calmly. This made someone even more anxious.
for a long time.
When the witch finished reading the newspaper, Zheng Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart - fortunately, fortunately, although the report of the Beta Town Post had its usual yin and yang, it still had the demeanor of a major newspaper after all.
Randomly quoting those scalp-numbing rumors - there are always many regrets in life. If he had a choice, he would definitely not ask the fat man for the newspaper.
"I don't want to be famous that much."
After a long while, he spoke dryly, taking the lead to break the delicate atmosphere in the room, and first looked at Xiao Xiao, who was looking unhappy: "Doctor, you know a lot, what do you think I have..."
He glanced at the newspaper again and then remembered the awkward word: "...that histrionic personality disorder?"
Xiao Xiao pushed up his glasses and said expressionlessly: "It's hard to say, after all, I'm not a professional, but according to the factors listed at the end of the newspaper - self-indulgence, lack of consideration for others, changeable emotions and easily suggestible, superficial thinking, language
The behavior and behavior appear naive and childish - in a way, I feel that it fits your situation very well."
The corners of Zheng Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Zhang Jixin, changed the topic, and said sincerely: "...Besides, elder, I have no intention of challenging your brother's position."
Zhang Jixin’s brother Zhang Shuzhi is the current Lei Zhe.
The report just mentioned that "some observers believe that classmate Zheng Qing is challenging Lei Zhe's dominant position in Jiuyou College." This kind of statement particularly made him feel uneasy.
Hearing Zheng Qing's defense, the red-faced wizard laughed: "Honestly, you don't need to challenge him. He will be resigning next year. You can try to take over then... Doctor, when will you accept it?"
A 'routine inquiry' from the Beta Town Post? I thought smart people would ignore them."
"I don't."
Xiao Xiao grimaced, glanced at the newspaper in the witch's hand, and explained simply: "That statement was the material submitted by the hunting team when they accepted the student union's ethics investigation before participating in the winter hunt... They are all routine clichés... It specifically quoted
That sentence was something I complained to the student union when I submitted the materials, but I didn’t expect them to hear me.”
"Do hunting teams need to undergo a moral review when participating in winter hunting?" Zheng Qing felt that it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
The short wizard took a deep breath and asked in a stiff tone: "Do you know the procedures that a hunting team needs to go through to participate in the winter hunting? Do you know how many documents need to be submitted?"
Zheng Qing was speechless.
Indeed, in the past, these writing tasks were all handled by doctors.
He and Zhang Jixin quietly looked at each other and lowered their eyelids in unison.
"No wonder the Post said bad things about you."
Fatty Xin licked the frosting on his fingers with a look of surprise on his face - he was talking about the incident between Xiao Xiao and Sima mentioned in the report - and then confidently speculated: "The Post must have asked you for an interview.
Yes, more than once, but you didn’t agree, so they made irresponsible remarks in the report...right?"
"It could also be to make opposing views less persuasive."
Jiang Yu suddenly spoke, pointing to the newspaper and analyzing: "In the entire article, all positive descriptions involving Brother Qing are marked with words like 'questioned', 'accused', 'widely disputed', and 'unconfirmed'..."
...On the contrary, the words of other anonymous sources are all conclusive. The doctor said two good things about Brother Qing, and then the next paragraph was labeled as 'unobjective' and 'unreliable'."
"I'm very familiar with this technique. It's indeed a routine used by the Post." The fat wizard nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Xiao also nodded slightly, quite agreeing with the witch's analysis.
Only Zheng Qing, after hearing the two 'Brothers Qing', was immediately frightened. He turned his head very hard, pressed the shoulders of the fortune teller of the Forgiveness Hunting Team, and tried his best to maintain a calm tone: "Also,
Is there any way to figure out the identities of those so-called 'sources' and 'anonymous critics'? We can't just let them talk nonsense..."
Xiao Xiao took a small breath and spread the fingers of the young public-funded student bit by bit.
"It's impossible," he said matter-of-factly, looking helpless: "Not to mention that their speeches were carefully considered and ambiguous, making it difficult to convict from a legal perspective... There are hundreds of interference curses in the Beta Town Post alone.
Protect their sources of information... I'm not even a registered wizard."
"You are belittling yourself. Your divination skills are better than most of the registered wizards I know." Jiang Yu spoke again, first praising the apologetic fortune teller in a brisk tone, and then shaking the newspaper in his hand.
, glanced at a certain wizard who was trembling on the side, and said with a slightly stronger tone: "Also, there is one more thing..."
She spread the newspaper on the desk, pointed to the last line of the report, and seemingly casually extended an invitation to Zheng Qing: "...This year's Badmington is over...then next year's Shanglin Garden Spring Hunt,
I'll take you there."
The young public-funded student gave her a blank look.
"The Beta Town Post is so abominable, it even said bad things about Teacher Sima." The witch seemed to have found a very appropriate reason, with a righteous look on her face: "So, we will do anything that can make them lose face!
"
"That's right."
"right."
"They should be embarrassed!"
The other three wizards nodded in agreement, completely ignoring the confused look of the certain person.
