Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Using a Joke
"How could that be enough time?" Jiang Baocu laughed, "Cramming at the last minute? Never thought you were that kind of person, Sheng Tang!"
Sheng Tang: "..."
She didn’t take it to heart.
After going home, Sheng Tang compared her scores from last semester, the midterm exams, and the previous year’s grades, then made a plan for herself.
She must aim to get the best results in English; math was originally her weak subject, but Gu Shiting promised to tutor her over the winter break, so she could ease up on that for now; as for the other subjects, she could relax a bit on their scores.
Sheng Tang quietly made some calculations.
For the next few days, she paid close attention in class, thought about the final exams during breaks, and went to the gym in the evenings before doing her homework.
She was incredibly busy.
The classroom was lively as soon as class ended.
"...who did you vote for?"
"Vote for me!"
"Your ranking is too low, even if I vote for you, you won’t make it to the top ten."
Sheng Tang overheard snippets of the conversation.
Jiang Baocu was also campaigning for votes from all directions, and then said, "Did you vote for Sheng Tang?"
"I couldn’t find Sheng Tang, I looked for a long time."
"Yeah, same here."
Sheng Tang was completely confused.
Jiang Baocu came over and asked her, "Where’s your slogan? Why can’t we find yours?"
"I haven’t written it yet."
Jiang Baocu was exasperated: "Everyone only has one vote, lots of people have already cast theirs. If you write it last, it’ll be hard for others to vote for you."
Sheng Tang: "..."
To be honest, Sheng Tang understood every word Jiang Baocu said, but when put together, she had no idea what it all meant.
Seeing the bewildered look on her face, Jiang Baocu asked her, "Did you not see the notice in the group chat yesterday?"
Sheng Tang shook her head.
Jiang Baocu: "..."
With Jiang’s patient explanation, Sheng Tang finally understood what all the fuss was about.
The school was collecting slogans for an event, which was posted on the school’s homepage.
Unlike the forum, the school homepage required real-name registration, using each student’s ID number, with the nickname being their name and class.
Everyone posted their slogans on the event homepage.
Each student not only had to write a slogan, but could also vote, either for themselves or for others, with one vote per person.
"... The school will select seven slogans from the top ten with the highest votes," said Jiang Baocu.
"Why only seven?"
"Because the teachers can’t vote; they also need to make selections."
Sheng Tang: "..."
"Hurry and think of one, I’ll help you get votes!" Jiang Baocu urged, "The sooner the better."
Sheng Tang: "I’ll think about it tonight."
"No way, by then it’ll be too late. Hurry up, I’ll give you ten minutes, hurry up!" Jiang Baocu pushed her.
Sheng Tang’s mind completely wasn’t on this.
She was preoccupied only with the final exams, with no time to spare for anything else.
She thought about the signs in her world like "Keep off the grass," which surely existed here too.
She even thought about an old joke from her world.
An old joke, also like a "Keep off the grass" sign.
The joke was often mocked, and never actually used, because it was very impolite and highly inappropriate.
Sheng Tang couldn’t think of anything else at the moment, and figured it wouldn’t actually be used, so she just filled in something random.
She logged into the school’s homepage.
The activity page was already bustling, but thankfully, Huishi’s servers held strong without crashing.
Sheng Tang smoothly got in.
She wrote down her slogan: "Today you step on me, tomorrow I’ll grow on your grave."
