One big and one small are practicing love

After I called Zuo Kunmin that night and learned that he had a girlfriend. Liu Xiaochen's brain seemed to have automatically cut off the nerve connected to Zuo Kunmin. Whether it's subconsciousness or deep instinct, I no longer want to rely on him.

After handing in the first draft, Liu Xiaochen first called Sun Xinxin to ask if the matter entrusted to her had been completed. I called Zhang Cheng again and explained to him that I was doing well now and that I just had a temporary breakdown that night. I promised to meet him for dinner after finishing my graduation thesis.

Just after making two phone calls, the thesis teacher sent a message asking Liu Xiaochen to go to the office to find her.

In the next two or three days, Liu Xiaochen was still busy with graduation-related matters, revising his thesis according to the teacher's requirements. During this period, I went to the Academic Affairs Office to return my student ID card, library card, fill in the internship report, and went to various Academic Affairs Offices in the school to get stamps, etc.

In the midst of my busy schedule, the day of my graduation defense soon arrived.

My classmates all said that as long as I passed the thesis, followed the process of the graduation defense, and answered the questions, there would be no surprises and I would be able to pass. After passing the defense, you can get your diploma in two days.

Soon, it was Liu Xiaochen's turn to answer. Liu Xiaochen calmly talked about the content of his thesis, but after just one minute of speaking, the examiner in the audience closed Liu Xiaochen's thesis and said in a sarcastic tone: "What are you writing about!"

The tutor responsible for Liu Xiaochen's defense and the teacher responsible for the thesis were not the same teacher.

"Who reviewed your paper?" the examiner said with a frown.

"At first it was Instructor Li, but then she went on maternity leave, and my instructor was changed to Instructor Zhao."

"Did Teacher Zhao ask you to revise your paper?"

"Revised two drafts."

The examiner pounded the table heavily and said with dissatisfaction: "Why are you still like this after you changed it? You majored in finance, not literature. Why do you write like a lyrical prose? There is no logic at all, the argument is unclear, and the argument is not clear. full!"

More than [-] students in the audience all looked at Liu Xiaochen on the stage.

"Teacher Zhao approved my thesis. If any tutor says that my thesis is not good before the defense, I will definitely revise it. It's time for the defense now, and you tell me that the paper is not good. What do you want me to do? Do you want to rewrite the thesis now?" Liu Xiaochen Said in a calm tone.

The students in the audience started talking quietly.

"You go out, you can go to whoever is responsible for your thesis. The next student will go on stage to defend." The exam instructor ignored Liu Xiaochen and called another student's name.

"The department assigned you to be responsible for my defense. Why do you want me to find another teacher?" Liu Xiaochen stood still on the podium and looked at the defense instructor steadily.

"Don't delay other students' defenses." The examiner raised his voice.

Liu Xiaochen didn't say anything, just stood motionless on the podium, looking at the instructor in the audience.

"Then what should I do? Why don't you all care about me?" Liu Xiaochen said, tears flowing out.

Another male defense teacher next to him came to the stage to persuade, "You go down first, we will not ignore you." Liu Xiaochen still stood stiffly on the podium, unmoved, and the defense had to be suspended. The other students in the audience whispered "Oh, ah!" and complained. The other assistant and instructor hurried out of the classroom door.

After a while, the department head came, as did the supervisor in charge of Liu Xiaochen's thesis. The director, the examiner, and Instructor Zhao, who was in charge of Liu Xiaochen’s thesis, communicated together.

Liu Xiaochen stood on the podium and could clearly hear their conversation.

"I have never seen anyone write a paper like this. We are not a literature department. There are only a few useful sentences in the whole article, it is all nonsense."

"I also took over this student temporarily. Li Lin was on maternity leave, and her students were assigned to me. I have been unable to contact her, and I just contacted her last week. It is true that the time is too tight, and it is too late for her to make changes. , this is the only way. I think we should also encourage the diversity of students. Most student papers are so academic. Her paper is reasonable and sentimental, and we should also tolerate diverse talents."

"Let's not talk about her professionalism. Let's take a look at her attitude. She openly contradicts the teacher in class and cannot even show the most basic respect. I have been teaching for [-] years and I have never seen such an uncultured student."

Hearing the word "uneducated", Liu Xiaochen rushed down from the podium, stood in front of the examiner, and asked with red eyes: "Why do you say that I am uneducated? Are your words just like a teacher?"

"Look at what this student looks like. Is this a student educated by a higher education institution? Such a student must not be given a diploma."

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, the director asked another defending teacher to calm down the examiner's emotions and warned the teachers not to delay other students' defenses. Then the director took Liu Xiaochen out of the classroom.

As soon as I left the classroom, I took a few steps and saw Zuo Kunmin face to face. He walked towards Liu Xiaochen wearing casual clothes. When he saw her, his calm expression tightened, he quickened his pace and came to the director and Liu Xiaochen.

Liu Xiaochen never expected to see Zuo Kunmin at the door of the classroom. She hurriedly turned away and hid behind the director.

"Wait a moment, teacher." Zuo Kunmin stretched out his arms to stop them.

The director stopped and looked at Zuo Kunmin blankly.

"Teacher, what's wrong with this classmate?" Zuo Kunmin asked eagerly.

"Oh, during the defense just now, she had an argument with the defending teacher. I will take her to the teaching office now to see how to deal with her matter." The director replied.

"Is there any misunderstanding? Student Liu Xiaochen always respects teachers and is a good boy. It is impossible to argue with the teacher." Zuo Kunmin said with a humble smile.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with our students?" The director suddenly remembered that he had not had time to ask the identity of the person in front of him.

"My dear!"

"Hire!"

Zuo Kunmin and Liu Xiaochen said it at the same time.

When he heard the word 'employment', Zuo Kunmin's dark eyes tightened, as deep and doubtful as the sea. Staring at Liu Xiaochen in disbelief, Liu Xiaochen kept his head lowered, avoiding his gaze.

"Sorry, sir, I have to take the students to the teaching office." After the director said that, he led Liu Xiaochen forward. Zuo Kunmin froze on the spot, turning his head to watch them walking away.

The head of the department patiently communicated with Liu Xiaochen and said that teachers usually let students graduate. Teacher Jiang just expressed her opinion. If Liu Xiaochen had been more tactful and the teacher had turned a blind eye, she would have been allowed to pass. of. Now that the situation is so tense, Teacher Jiang will definitely judge Liu Xiaochen not to pass.

The director said that he would go to work for Teacher Jiang and re-evaluate Liu Xiaochen's thesis with other tutors to see if Liu Xiaochen could be given another chance to defend himself. If after deliberation, the thesis cannot be passed, or Teacher Jiang firmly refuses to give Liu Xiaochen a chance, then Liu Xiaochen will need to stay in school for one year and participate in next year's graduation defense.

When the director spoke, Liu Xiaochen listened expressionlessly, only replying with words such as "ok", "um" and "I understand" without defending or explaining.

After listening to the director's words, Liu Xiaochen left the teaching office silently.
