Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: It’s Like Watching Zhou Bapi
"However, this kind of thing can’t really be controlled," Zhao Guoxian said. "After all, it’s something between students. The school can make certain rules clear, but it can’t directly stipulate that you can’t look down on auditing students."
"Yes, even if there really were such a rule, could students truly follow it?" the homeroom teacher also said. "We can’t constantly monitor what students do privately, nor can we manage it."
"Even though we know this sort of situation occurs, we can’t constantly monitor and manage it. If a rule like this were made, it would only be for show, with no real binding power, and would eventually just become a joke," the homeroom teacher said.
Ye Fei nodded, also understanding the situation.
"But fortunately, even auditing students aren’t pushovers. It’s impossible for them to just let themselves be bullied. And, at most, others just look down on them, but they truly don’t usually do anything to bully people."
"If you don’t want to be looked down upon, just work hard and outshine those people. If you really have the ability, even as an auditing student, you’ll earn respect," the homeroom teacher said.
"Exactly," Zhao Guoxian said. "To be frank, inside Changping Academy, it’s a place of continuous competition, where strength is respected. While it’s not at the level of survival of the fittest, to get by at Changping Academy, you constantly need to improve."
"Let’s not talk about anything else, just our dormitories," Zhao Guoxian continued.
Ye Fei blinked, what’s up with the dormitories?
How was there something she didn’t know?
Ye Fei cast a questioning look towards Zhao Gushen.
Zhao Gushen remembered too, and gave Ye Fei an apologetic look.
He really hadn’t thought about it before.
But the dormitory matter actually didn’t have much to do with Ye Fei.
Sure enough, Zhao Guoxian said, "Actually, the dormitory situation doesn’t affect you much. But since we’re on the topic, it’s good for you to know."
"In the first year at Changping, all the dormitory conditions are the same. The dormitory units in the school are actually ranked by levels. You live in a single apartment, not disturbed by outsiders, with all necessary facilities, just like a regular rented apartment outside."
Ye Fei nodded.
Then Zhao Guoxian said, "But there are actually double rooms and quadruple rooms too."
Of course, four-person rooms are the limit.
"Both double rooms and quadruple rooms are equipped with kitchen utensils, but only one set. If you want to use them, then two or four people have to take turns. And the living conditions are certainly that four people can’t compare to two, and two can’t compare to one,"
"Since students have good family conditions, no one would choose a double or quadruple room just to save on accommodation costs. Anyway, Changping’s annual student intake is fixed, so single apartments are enough for all."
"But in Changping’s year-end exams, the bottom ten not only have to repeat the year but are forced to move to a four-person room. No matter how much you pay, you cannot live in a single room. The bottom twenty, not just the last ten, have to move to four-person rooms."
"Changping has a total of 100 students in a year," Zhao Guoxian said. "Students ranked 51 to 80 need to move to two-person dorms."
"Although shared dorms mean having a companion, fundamentally they’re here to study, not to find companions. Plus, with Changping’s competitive system, although everyone is classmates, they are more so competitors. True companionship is rare and doesn’t happen just by living together."
"On the contrary, sharing a dormitory means during the day you can use the school’s study room to cook. But study rooms are limited, just like regular universities, first come, first served. But in a one-person dorm, it’s different."
"You don’t have to specifically go to the study room; you can research right in your own dorm, it’s convenient and free, with more peace of mind, without worrying about being seen,"
"But in a shared dormitory, one kitchen for two or four people, how can it be enough?" Zhao Guoxian said. "This is just one aspect, the most important is similar to the bottom ten repeating the year, it’s about losing face."
"Of course, with improved grades next time, moving up from the bottom ranks to the top fifty, you can move back to a single apartment."
"So, the competition within Changping Academy, while not excessively cruel, is fierce for the sake of face," Zhao Guoxian said.
Ye Fei looked at Zhao Guoxian with mixed feelings, then turned to ask Zhao Gushen, "All these rules started after Gu Xian arrived, right?"
Zhao Gushen nodded.
Then the couple together looked at Zhao Guoxian.
Zhao Guoxian: "..."
This couple’s gaze towards him was just like looking at Zhou Bapi.
What the hell!
"However, the auditing students’ dormitory arrangements are fixed, no matter how poor the grades, there’s no need to move dorms," Zhao Guoxian said with a somewhat restrained smile.
Ye Fei: "..."
What are you smiling about?
Did I say anything?
Then Zhao Guoxian said, "After all, the auditing students paid so much in tuition. And in the future, they won’t receive a graduation diploma from Changping, they can’t use the diploma as an advantage. Even if they say they studied at Changping, without a diploma, who believes them?"
"Even if there’s evidence to prove it, people would say you’re just auditing, don’t try to boast," Zhao Guoxian said. "You could say that other than offering outstanding faculty and teaching resources to auditing students, Changping doesn’t offer much else. So, shouldn’t they at least live comfortably?"
"Mainly because auditing students come in by paying huge sponsorship fees, right? It’s awkward to collect the sponsorship fee without giving them comfortable living arrangements, right?" Ye Fei looked at Zhao Guoxian with a teasing smile.
Ye Fei really hit the nail on the head, just spot on.
Zhao Guoxian couldn’t hold back for a moment and blurted out like a confidant, "Isn’t it so, we can’t let the money go to waste..."
Before he finished, he saw Ye Fei’s "just as expected" smiling face.
Zhao Guoxian promptly swallowed the rest of his words, saying, "It’s not entirely, sister-in-law, you didn’t spend a penny to get in."
Ye Fei: "..."
Why did it seem like Zhao Guoxian was indirectly asking for money?
Guo Wenbo: "..."
Ye Huasong: "..."
Is this how the Zhao Family normally interacts?
Originally they thought Ye Fei’s temperament wasn’t like Zhao Family’s.
Turns out they were wrong.
They just hadn’t seen her state when she’s with the Zhao Family.
Now looking at it, they must say, indeed not a family, never enter a door!
The homeroom teacher noticed they had reached the classroom door.
