Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Yang Zixuan glanced at Zhou Min, pondered for a moment, and said, "Teacher Gong is short-staffed, but the requirements are very high. You can give it a try."

Yang Zixuan still hopes that Zhou Min can join the team. Right now, in Professor Gong's team, he is the only freshman, and the rest are graduate students.

Those graduate students stick together quite a bit, and Professor Gong is very serious, so he usually doesn't even have anyone to discuss things with.

If Zhou Min goes there, at least I won't be too bored.

"How did you get there back then?" Before Zhou Min could even open her mouth, someone asked her the question that was on her mind.

Zhou Min looked up and saw Zhang Kun. It turned out that after class, when he saw Zhou Min and Yang Zixuan sitting together, he immediately guessed that Zhou Min must be looking for Yang Zixuan to ask about how to get into Professor Gong's research room.

As he suspected, the two of them were speaking too slowly, so he impatiently interrupted and asked.

"Just complete the tasks assigned by Teacher Gong diligently, and then ask the teacher for them after you're done," Yang Zixuan said matter-of-factly.

Zhou Min and Zhang Kun exchanged a silent glance. After all that, the one who was most eager to please was here. They were just too reserved.

Both of them decided that after they got back that night, they would start bothering Teacher Gong and expressing their determination to him.

After finishing her classes and dinner, Zhou Min found two books on experimental management in the library before confidently returning to her dormitory.

At this moment, Zhou Min was preoccupied with how to impress Professor Gong with her abilities and gain an opportunity to join his research group.

Such opportunities are extremely rare. Basically, if you can join a research group during your undergraduate studies and your grades aren't too bad, you can almost guarantee admission to a master's program, not to mention the knowledge and experience you gain in the process.

However, when Zhou Min returned to the dormitory, she found the atmosphere there to be unusually heavy.

Professor Zhao was sitting in Zhou Min's chair, lecturing Wang Mingyue and Feng Pinling. Seeing Zhou Min enter, Professor Zhao paused only slightly before continuing.

Seeing that Instructor Zhao showed no sign of getting up, Zhou Min put her things on Jiang Fei's desk, stood next to Jiang Fei, and listened to Instructor Zhao's reprimand with her.

Zhou Min listened for a while before she understood the whole story.

It turns out that at 4 a.m. this morning, after being woken up by Feng Pinling, Wang Mingyue posted information directly on multiple websites such as the school's forum, Baidu Tieba, and Renren.

The main purpose of the information is to find the contact information of academic tutors in the foreign language department or life tutors in the liberal arts college.

The reason I asked for their contact information is that a girl in the dormitory started going to the toilet at 3 a.m. and has been having diarrhea all night. She is completely exhausted and now needs the teacher's help to take her to the hospital.

Because the description was so detailed and urgent, the post went viral within a few hours. Many people replied with information about the mentors, and some even started speculating about the identity of the main character.

With Wang Mingyue's subtle hints, by the time Feng Pinling saw the post, her identity had already been completely exposed.

They wanted to get Wang Mingyue to delete the post, but since they didn't have her contact information, they had to ask their counselor to intervene.

Wang Mingyue's phone went unanswered all day. By the time Instructor Zhao, worried that the situation was serious, went to the girls' dormitory after school, the two girls were already arguing and were on the verge of fighting.

"Wang Mingyue, you're already a junior this year. Don't waste your energy on these trivial matters anymore," Counselor Zhao earnestly advised.

Zhou Min wanted to laugh when she saw Zhao's expression; she didn't understand why Zhao was so depressed.

Despite being a proud and expressionless guy, he's forced to act as a caring older brother here, handling minor conflicts between girls.

Wang Mingyue completely ignored Zhao's explanation and said slowly, "I already said that I was just concerned about her. After all, how could a normal person go to the toilet from three to four in the morning, and then flush for more than an hour without stopping! Oh, right, the door wasn't closed, and the smell coming out was disgusting."

"You! You..." Feng Pinling was disgusted by Wang Mingyue. She really didn't expect Wang Mingyue to be so shameless.

Wang Mingyue interrupted Feng Pinling, continuing, "Oh, right, Instructor Zhao, I want to suggest to the school that they shouldn't let students use water and electricity for free without any limits. I've noticed some inconsiderate people taking over ten minutes to wash their hands. And they even use hairdryers to dry their clothes. This is the first time I've seen people so exploitative of the school. Hehe, I guess they're getting desperate because they can't get any knowledge out of it. Hahaha..."

Before Wang Mingyue could finish speaking, she started laughing to herself.

After hearing her words, Zhou Min couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't understand why Feng Pinling had this habit. She never washed her clothes promptly when they got dirty, but preferred to wait until she was ready to wear them before washing them and then using a hairdryer to dry them little by little.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min quickly interjected, "Then, Instructor Zhao, I also have a suggestion. If water and electricity are rationed, could we install a card-operated water and electricity meter? That way, whoever uses it pays the bill."

Zhou Min had no intention of paying for Feng Pinling's bad habits. Since she was going to charge a fee, she decided to break up completely.

After hearing Zhou Min's words, Wang Mingyue secretly gave her a thumbs up, and Zhou Min smiled to herself when she saw it.

It feels so good to fight side by side like this. In her college dormitory in her past life, she slept in Wang Mingyue's spot, Feng Pinling slept in her current bed, and the other two roommates slept in the spots near the door.

Every time Feng Pinling caused trouble, she was the first to suffer, while her two roommates, who lived far away, were far less affected. And when she and Feng Pinling had a conflict, they would only come over to mediate, with no one understanding her anger.

She didn't have the same troublemaking mind as Wang Mingyue, and she had a bellyful of grievances but nowhere to vent them. If she talked about it, it would make her seem like she was chasing after Maoqiu and was petty.

Seeing how Wang Mingyue dealt with Feng Pinling today, she felt completely relaxed.

As their arguments became increasingly absurd, Instructor Zhao lost patience and ordered Wang Mingyue to delete the post. He then told Feng Pinling to be more mindful of her time in the future before turning to leave.

He was truly fed up with these little squabbles between girls; as a counselor, he had reached the point where he was annoyed just seeing girls.

Professor Zhao is only 23 years old this year, and he graduated from his undergraduate program less than a year ago. The reason he is now a counselor at the school is simply because his grades were not good enough for the school's Category A postgraduate recommendation program, so he could only choose the Category B recommendation route.

Category B postgraduate recommendation route allows students with average grades to gain admission to postgraduate programs through methods such as teaching in rural areas or serving as counselors.

He secured the opportunity to stay at the university as a counselor for two years and then be recommended for postgraduate studies through active competition.

The academy's leaders, seeing that he was young and handsome, entrusted him with the management of the well-behaved and obedient girls.

Now he just wants to quit and let whoever wants to pursue graduate studies do it; he's completely had enough!

These girls are anything but well-behaved and obedient! They're all either androgynous or infatuated, and many of them, he even suspects, have crippled hands.

Otherwise, why would you call him even if you forgot the combination lock on your suitcase? Or why would you look for him even if one leg of your chair was higher than the other...?

Zhao, the counselor, felt that the past six months as a counselor had been more tiring than her four years of university. She regretted not studying hard and trying to get a direct admission to graduate school, so she wouldn't have to suffer like this.
