Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"No way? Your teacher made you write a 'self-criticism'?" Feng Pinling exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it that serious?" Jiang Fei and Mao Yating also came over.

Zhou Min quickly covered the letter of self-criticism, but they still managed to see her name.

"I knew all good-looking people were bad, they're just wasting their handsome faces," Mao Yating said angrily.

Jiang Fei and Feng Pinling both glanced at Zhou Min upon hearing Mao Yating's words.

"Why are you looking at me? Get out of my way and don't bother me. I still have over eight hundred words to write." Zhou Min said, tidying up her desk and continuing to write.

Because Zhou Min wrote one line and then covered it up, the three people standing next to her couldn't see much. Although they really wanted to complain about how stingy Zhou Min was.

However, since everyone was a good student who had never been criticized by the teacher, they could barely understand Zhou Min's current irritability.

"Our college teachers are the best. They are gentle and beautiful, and they care about us from beginning to end, don't you think? Feng Pinling."

Previously, when Zhou Min was not in the dormitory, the academic advisors from the School of Foreign Languages ​​and the School of Biology had both visited her dormitory.

The teacher from the School of Foreign Languages ​​was a young, fashionable, and beautiful woman. After entering the dormitory, she spoke words of care and praise, which made Mao Yating feel very warm.

"You were just saying that good-looking people are never good, but now you're saying she's gentle and beautiful?" Jiang Fei was speechless at Mao Yating's contradictory words.

“There are always exceptions! But your academic advisor looks like a housewife. If I see her off-campus, I always think she's on her way to buy groceries. Isn’t that right, Feng Pinling?”

"That's still better than the teacher, who's all made up like she's going to a party."

"That's called being fashionable, okay? Don't be so outdated."

......

"Can you guys be quiet? I'm completely out of it." Zhou Min, who was already in a bad mood, was made dizzy and disoriented by their noise.

Seeing Zhou Min's annoyed expression, the three of them silently shut their mouths. But Mao Yating was still not satisfied, so she simply took out her phone and started complaining to Feng Pinling.

A giant cat: [The professors in the biology department are all old, ugly, and unsophisticated, aren't they?]

Tonight: [Don't say that again, Jiang Fei is already angry.]

A giant cat: [Why is she angry? I wasn't talking about her.]

Tonight: [Maybe all science professors are like this.]

This isn't just a casual remark; Feng Pinling has seen plenty of teachers like this in her past life.

In her previous life, Feng Pinling also studied science. Her science grades were okay in her first year of high school, but after the subject selection, she couldn't understand physics at all and sometimes even had difficulty passing. She also struggled with math.

Fortunately, she excels in English, Chinese, and biology, especially English, where she rarely loses points except for essays.

It just so happens that the college entrance exam in English is very difficult, and many people don't do well in English, which creates a huge score difference between them and her, making up for her weaknesses in physics and mathematics.

She later got into a top university and its leading program. But once she got to university, she discovered that the students and professors in science and engineering programs at the university were really unkempt.

There were only two girls in the class. One of them was of average appearance, and the other had a boyfriend early on. The boys in the class didn't treat them like girls at all. Zhou Min was also very plain-looking, which made Feng Pinling feel like she was being pretentious when she dressed up a little.

Over time, Feng Pinling also became unkempt.

However, Zhou Min has a good foundation and fair skin, so she gives people a youthful and beautiful feeling even without makeup, while I have dark and rough skin, which makes me feel ugly.

The faculty members all had a simple and unassuming appearance. The female professors of specialized courses always appeared without makeup. Only the occasional political education teacher and English teacher encountered in general education classes revealed the glamorous side of these knowledgeable women.

When Feng Pinling graduated from university four years later, she realized that only the engineering students hadn't changed at all and were still the same as they were in high school, while the liberal arts students were far superior to them in terms of clothing, appearance, and social skills.

Feng Pinling did not do well in her major courses during college. Even though she had put in a lot of effort to study, she could only barely pass.

Therefore, the jobs I found after graduation were mostly clerical positions in foreign companies, and many of my colleagues in the same positions were graduates in management, marketing, finance, and other related fields.

The difference in appearance made it difficult for Feng Pinling to integrate into their circle. Even though Feng Pinling later spent a lot of time studying skincare, makeup, and fashion, it was still difficult to bridge the gap between them.

So after being reborn, Feng Pinling's first thing to do was to persuade her mother to pay for her plastic surgery, and for this, she agreed to accept her mother's remarriage.

Her mother's current remarriage partner is the most financially well-off of all her boyfriends, and he is very generous. He not only paid to send Feng Pinling to the only foreign language high school in the province with the qualification to recommend students for foreign language courses, but also gave Feng Pinling a lot of pocket money every month.

This made Feng Pinling despise her past self countless times. So stubborn! Why did she have to stop her mother from remarrying? Having a stepfather meant having someone else to give her money—how wonderful!

A giant cat: [No, you see, Zhou Min's teacher is very handsome.]

Tonight: [Men don't need to dress up, and men age faster. If she were a female teacher, she probably would too.]

A giant cat: [Surely not, our high school's female teachers are very well-maintained.]

Tonight: [You'll find out later.]

A giant cat: [I'm really worried they'll look like that someday, it's terrifying. Thank goodness I didn't study science.]

Mao Yating is a bit of a looks-obsessed person, but she herself is relatively ordinary-looking, with a baby face and a height of only 160cm. So she both loves and envies good-looking people.

In the dorm, Zhou Min and Feng Pinling were considered the prettiest, but she only liked Feng Pinling. Although Zhou Min was prettier, her personality wasn't likable, and she had even argued with her, so she felt intense jealousy towards Zhou Min. Feng Pinling, on the other hand, was not only in the same major as her but also had a gentle personality and took care of her; her feelings for Feng Pinling were purely platonic.

As for Jiang Fei, she has short hair, is tall and thin, has ordinary features, and is taciturn. If they didn't live in the same dormitory, Mao Yating would not bother with her.

Zhou Min was unaware of Mao Yating's inner thoughts; all she knew was that her self-criticism was now completely ruined.

She was supposed to write a 1000-word self-criticism, but she summarized the incident in 300 words and wrote down everything that needed to be said. Zhou Min had no idea how to write the remaining 700 words.

Just then, Zhou Min suddenly noticed an English computer journal on her desk. She remembered that there was an article in it about ideological education in computer science, and the content seemed to be very suitable for her self-criticism.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min quickly pulled the book off the shelf, turned to that page, and began to frantically copy it down.

This is an English journal published in country A, with very limited circulation in China. Zhou Min only got this journal because when Zheng Xiaojiu asked a friend to help him buy a computer from abroad, his friend sent it over along with the computer.

When Zhou Min first saw this journal, she was immediately drawn to its contents. Many of the ideas and concepts in it were ahead of their time, but Zhou Min, who was more than a decade later, found them just right.

When Zhou Min wanted to buy another copy of this journal, she discovered that it was basically not distributed in China and could not be bought domestically.

Zhou Min could only look at it repeatedly, and even brought it with her when she came to university.

That's why Zhou Min was able to immediately think of the content in the journal, and now she can translate the content directly and add it to her self-criticism without any psychological burden.

While translating, Zhou Min accidentally went over 200 words. After finishing, she looked at the letter of self-criticism in her hand and couldn't help but laugh.

This is truly a profound and insightful article. It not only looks ahead to the future development of the industry but also expresses the determination and methods of learning.

Zhou Min gave herself a perfect score of 100 in her mind. If it weren't so late, she would have loved to give the letter of self-criticism to Teacher Gong right now.

There's no way around it; Zhou Min is the kind of person who can't keep things to herself, and she always wants others to know about good things.

However, considering the potential negative impact of the situation, and the fact that her roommates might not understand or be interested in computer science, Zhou Min forcefully suppressed her eagerness to share. She planned to deliver it to Professor Gong first thing tomorrow morning, hoping to impress him.

However, the truth came back to haunt them very quickly.
