Of course, there were some faintly dissenting voices. “They say that Brother Xi is a big shot for everyone. Brother Xi is clearly annoyed by every girl except our Sister Jing. You guys are freely fabricating stories behind our backs. Do you really think that our He Jing fan club is open for nothing?”
However, these voices were soon suppressed by an even fiercer clamor. “If you have the time to come here and mess with us, why don’t you form a group and write an English speech for your Sister Jing? If each of you contributes a sentence, you might be able to come up with an English speech in five minutes.”
As the words fell, laughter echoed through the teaching building.
Usually, many people admired He Jing, but many people hated He Jing as well.
Only mediocre people escaped hatred. He Jing, who was no longer considered a noble, was still in this noble school and naturally attracted criticism.
Many people were happy to see such a thing happen.
The students went downstairs one after another, like locusts rushing in the direction of the field, afraid to miss a big show.
He Jing walked in the crowd and was caught up by the students of Senior Two
Class Three. “Sister Jing, is it true that the teacher asked you to deliver an English speech during the flag-raising ceremony? I heard a lot of people saying…”
“Yes.”
“Ah, then what should we do?”
When the notice was sent, the senior three student representative had already submitted the English script for the teacher to review. He even went back to practice his pronunciation for two days.
He Jing only received the notice ten minutes before the flag-raising ceremony. Wasn’t this fatal…
“Even if you can’t, you have to,” He Jing said. “Since it’s already happened, then let’s face it.
“Sister Jing!”
This wasn’t an ordinary occasion. Thousands of teachers and students were watching.
If anything went wrong, her flawless image would be ruined.
He Jing reassured, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
At this moment, there was a burst of exaggerated laughter ahead. A group of people, varying in height and size, both male and female, walked in front of them. They were all seniors in the third year.
They said, “Xu Bi’s move is really impressive. I guess He Jing must have found a place to cry. Being the school’s top student isn’t a big deal. She’s just a fake heiress.”
“Do you think Brother Xi will stand up for her? I heard that Brother Xi likes her.”
“He won’t like her after today, right?”
They were completely unaware that He Jing was right behind them, and they were talking happily.
Students of Senior Two Class Three were furious. “They’re going too far.”
Shen Qiuyu wanted to rush up and argue with them, but He Jing grabbed her arm and stopped her. Then, another voice came from the crowd.
“He Jing is quite capable. She scored full marks in the last monthly English test.
I think Senior Xu Bi might have shot herself in the foot.” “Brother Xi will definitely be angry if he finds out.”
“Do you think He Jing can perform well?”
“I don’t think so.”
“I don’t think so either.”
“Agree a million times.”
Even if He Jing was the top student in the school, it didn’t mean that she could do well at all times.
For example, this impromptu English speech was quite challenging.
When Shen Qiuyu heard these words, she immediately spat in his heart.
“Pah! A bunch of trash! Always jealous of others. He Jing was omnipotent. She could definitely do it. Definitely!”
Even so, Shen Qiuyu couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart. She silently prayed to the heavens that He Jing would definitely succeed.
The flag-raising ceremony was about to begin. Music was played on the field. In the blink of an eye, it was the national anthem. Everyone waited solemnly.
The flag-raiser marches up to the flag-raising stage in an orderly manner. The process was impeccable. Then, the political and educational director spoke smoothly. It was obvious that he had memorized the script. The school leaders, city leaders, and foreign education experts had already arrived quietly.
They stood at the back of the teacher-student line. Although they weren’t very eye-catching, they were still noticed by the sharp-eyed students..
