Chapter 243 Qiu Ziyue's Memorial
With Qiu Ziyue and Gong Xiaoxiao being appointed as class monitor and deputy class monitor respectively, the original class monitor, Ren Pengju, was demoted to the academic representative.
This change left Ren Pengju feeling quite uneasy.
He wondered to himself, how could he, a boy, be overshadowed by two girls? His heart was filled with doubt and resentment.
Ren Pengju decided to talk to his homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
One day after school, he knocked on Teacher Li's office door.
"Teacher Li, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
Ren Pengju got straight to the point.
Teacher Li smiled and gestured for him to sit down:
"Speak, what is it?"
Ren Pengju hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his question:
"Why did Qiu Ziyue and Gong Xiaoxiao become the class monitor and vice monitor, while I became the study committee member? I think this is unfair."
Teacher Li listened patiently, and after he finished speaking, she slowly said:
"Ren Pengju, I know you have your own thoughts. Actually, this adjustment is for the sake of the overall honor of the class."
"Although Qiu Ziyue has only been here for a short time, she has had a very significant impact on the class."
"Teacher, I'm still not convinced."
"She not only signed a contract with a film company and invested 100 million yuan in the school, but also demonstrated remarkable musical talent, and her academic performance improved by leaps and bounds."
"But she's not as good at studying as I am."
"But Qiu Ziyue is very influential among her classmates and can motivate everyone to make progress together."
Ren Pengju was silent for a moment, then said:
"But I'm worried that she's leading her classmates astray. She gathered the girls in the class to form something like the Swallow Gang and the Swallow Band, and even organized English PK groups and song PK groups..."
"Really? Hehe, isn't that great? Ren Pengju, you see, you know she has influence."
Ren Pengju nodded and then said:
"Teacher Li, but I feel like she's promoting feminism and is isolating us boys."
Teacher Li continued:
"No, Ren Pengju, you're overthinking it. You've always been a good student in the class, and being the class's academic representative is a very important position."
"I believe you can play a greater role in this position and help more students improve their grades."
Hearing this, Ren Pengju's resentment subsided somewhat.
He realized that what Teacher Li said made sense.
Nevertheless, Ren Pengju still felt a pang of sadness.
When Qiu Ziyue first arrived in the class, Ren Pengju looked at her and felt a desire to protect her.
But now that Qiu Ziyue has suddenly become so powerful, he has a feeling he can't quite describe.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling, especially when he saw Qi Yuxuan picking up and dropping off Qiu Ziyue every day; it always made him feel a pang of jealousy.
"Is this what unrequited love feels like?" Ren Pengju wondered, but he found it hard to believe.
One day on his way to school, after Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan waved goodbye, Ren Pengju mustered up his courage and found Qi Yuxuan.
"Qi Yuxuan, the big star, can we have a chat?"
Ren Pengju asked.
Qi Yuxuan was somewhat surprised, but still nodded:
"Of course, what's up?"
The two arrived at a large tree in a corner outside the school gate and began their conversation.
"I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with Qiu Ziyue?"
Ren Pengju got straight to the point and asked.
Qi Yuxuan smiled:
"It's hard to explain things to her in just a few words, but she's currently an artist signed to my company and will be the female lead in the next drama. I'm her boss."
Ren Pengju shook his head:
"There's no misunderstanding. I just feel like you two have a particularly close relationship."
Qi Yuxuan looked at him intently:
"If we're going to film a drama, we have to ensure the safety of the artists. If anything happens to her, our company will suffer huge losses. What's wrong, little brother? You seem to care a lot about Qiu Ziyue?"
Ren Pengju was taken aback, not expecting Qi Yuxuan to ask him that.
He thought for a moment and replied:
"Yes, I care about her a lot too. I've never met a girl like her, like a fire, and sometimes as gentle as water."
Qi Yuxuan patted him on the shoulder:
"You two are classmates, right? I'm happy for her to have you as a classmate. I hope you can help each other and grow together."
Ren Pengju nodded.
Qi Yuxuan watched Ren Pengju's retreating figure as he walked into the school, thinking to himself:
"This Qiu Ziyue, my wife, is just like in my previous life, she likes to 'seduce' boys. Humph, she's a female devil."
Though he said it, Qi Yuxuan felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Just as Qiu Ziyue traveled from ancient times and gradually adapted to campus life.
At the same time, Qi Yuxuan came to her side, and imperceptibly, she gradually recovered to full health.
The "Swallow Gang" is one of Qiu Ziyue's masterpieces.
She established strict discipline and rules, requiring every member to abide by school rules and regulations.
Help students in need and work together to maintain a good campus environment.
Whenever a girl is bullied by thugs and reports it to them, they immediately intervene and resolve the conflict with their wisdom and courage.
On one occasion, a young thug was bullying younger students on the playground, and Qiu Ziyue led the "Swallow Gang" members to the scene quickly.
What are you doing?
Qiu Ziyue asked sternly.
The thugs were somewhat frightened when they saw Qiu Ziyue and her group.
But she still stubbornly insisted, "What's it to you?"
"The campus belongs to all of us, and no one is allowed to do anything wrong here!"
Qiu Ziyue said seriously.
Under Qiu Ziyue's leadership, everyone worked together and successfully stopped the thugs' behavior.
After several such incidents, the school's troublemakers gradually became much more restrained, and the campus atmosphere became more harmonious.
Meanwhile, the English PK group and the Swallow Band continued their activities, with students expressing the vibrant rhythm of youth through music and English.
Under Qiu Ziyue's leadership, the students in Class 1 of Grade 11 were very excited, and the wave of learning was in full swing, resulting in a steady rise in the class's academic performance.
Teacher Li was overjoyed, and teachers from other classes all sought her advice.
Teacher Li said it was nothing, it's just that we recently changed the class monitor, which has improved the class's learning pace.
However, some are happy while others are sad.
Wang, the screenwriter at Ziyue Pictures, has been having a very difficult time lately.
She received an important scriptwriting assignment with a tight deadline and extremely high requirements.
In order to complete the task on time, she had to work against the clock, writing day and night, spending almost every day in front of the computer.
The first draft took several days and nights to complete.
Exhausted but full of anticipation, screenwriter Wang sent the electronic version of the script to Qi Yuxuan.
She believed this was a satisfactory initial result, after all, she had put so much effort into it.
A few days later, screenwriter Wang received a reply from Qi Yuxuan. The contents of the email made her heart sink:
"Screenwriter Wang, your first draft is good, but it's not moving enough. We need more genuine emotions and plots that can touch the audience."
Screenwriter Wang felt a sense of frustration.
She knew Qi Yuxuan had high expectations, but she didn't expect that her efforts still wouldn't meet them.
Nevertheless, she decided to re-examine the script and look for room for improvement.
After revisions, screenwriter Wang submitted the script again.
This time, she paid special attention to emotional expression, adding many warm and touching details.
However, Qi Yuxuan's feedback was still unsatisfactory:
"Screenwriter Wang, your emotional descriptions have indeed improved this time, but they are still not romantic enough."
Screenwriter Wang was somewhat frustrated, but he did not give up.
She realized that to make the script more perfect, it had to be constantly adjusted and improved.
A few days later, screenwriter Wang submitted the script for the third time.
This time, she not only enhanced the emotional descriptions but also added many romantic elements, striving to make the story more moving.
However, Qi Yuxuan's reply still disappointed her:
"Screenwriter Wang, although you have improved in terms of emotion and romance, the plot is still not attractive enough."
Faced with continuous rejection, screenwriter Wang felt unprecedented pressure.
She began to doubt her abilities and even considered giving up at one point.
But her inner conviction told her that she couldn't give up so easily.
Screenwriter Wang decided to calm down and embody the spirit of "hanging one's head from the beam and pricking one's thigh with an awl" (a Chinese idiom meaning to study diligently and persistently).
Carefully analyze each feedback to identify the problem.
She kept thinking and considering how to make the story more exciting.
After countless revisions and adjustments, screenwriter Wang finally completed the fourth draft.
This time, she not only further optimized the emotions and romance, but also put effort into the plot design.
Make sure every segment captivates the audience.
When screenwriter Wang handed the fourth draft to Qi Yuxuan, he was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Shortly after, she received a reply:
"Screenwriter Wang, this script is barely acceptable. We can make some adjustments based on the filming schedule. Thank you for your hard work."
Upon seeing this, screenwriter Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was only "barely qualified", it was the result of her unremitting efforts.
Screenwriter Wang actually learned about the boss's recent activities from Director An.
She knew that her boss might have found his wife, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to ask her to write a script.
"Wow, is this Twilight Sparkle really that influential? She's completely messed up the whole thing. It's unbelievable."
