Lin Zhixin spent the short two days of the weekend in a busy schedule, and Zhang Wenze didn't reply to her email until the end, which made Lin Zhixin feel inexplicable doubts.

On Monday, she came to the school with the revised topic and two carefully prepared alternatives. Since there was no class in the morning, she went directly to the Academic Affairs Office and found Zhang Wenze, the head of the department.

"Mr. Lin, has the research topic been changed?"

Seeing Lin Zhixin, Zhang Wenze greeted her with a smile.

Lin Zhi tactfully did not ask Zhang Wenze why she didn't reply to her email over the weekend, but showed Zhang Wenze the topic she had prepared:

"Yes, Director Zhang, this is the topic I revised, please take a look."

Zhang Wenze opened the folder that Lin Zhixin handed over, glanced at it casually, and his phone rang.

He picked up the phone and said a few words, and after the call was over, he put aside the topic that Lin Zhixin handed over:

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I have a meeting now, and I'll contact you after reading it."

Lin Zhixin nodded in agreement, thanked Zhang Wenze politely, and took her things to the library.

At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a meeting within the department, and Zhang Wenze didn't mention that Lin Zhixin's project was not reviewed.

Lin Zhixin thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, but in the second week, Zhang Wenze approached her again and told her that the content of the revised topic was still sensitive and she had to resubmit.

Zhang Wenze's attitude made Lin Zhixin feel strange. This time she asked face to face what kind of sensitivity was involved, but Zhang Wenze's words were vague and very general, which made Lin Zhixin ring the alarm.

If it's just a review, explain the reason to her, she will not be unwilling to modify it, but Zhang Wenze only told her that the content is sensitive, this scope is very broad, and it is not easy to locate.

"Director Zhang, I remember that the Office of Academic Affairs will issue a written document stating the reason for each project that has not been approved. Can you let me have a look?"

As soon as she said these words, Zhang Wenze's face immediately changed. His eyes widened, he put away the smile on his face, and frowned and questioned Lin Zhixin:

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Zhi was unmoved, she put away the materials and stood up, answering solemnly:

"I believe that Director Zhang will not fool me on this matter, but I think that there is nothing wrong with the subject I chose, and the notice of resignation from the subject is not a confidential material. If there is any need to modify it, I hope Director Zhang will directly notify you. A copy of the book was sent to my mailbox, so that I can locate where the problem is, and I will trouble Director Zhang."

After saying these words neither humble nor overbearing, Lin Zhixin bowed politely to Zhang Wenze, then turned and left Zhang Wenze's office.

When she reached the corner, she vaguely heard a muffled sound behind her, as if something had hit the table.

On the way home from school, Lin Zhixin kept thinking, why did Zhang Wenze do this?

The content of the research topic had been submitted long ago, and it was too late for Zhang Wenze to intercept it. If he failed the review, Zhang Wenze would definitely be able to produce a notice.

But judging from his performance today, he probably didn't have this notice in his hand, which made his actions seem extraordinarily strange.

What's the point of spreading false news and asking her to do the useless work again?

Lin Zhi felt puzzled.

Since that day, Zhang Wenze has not troubled Lin Zhixin again, but her life has become more and more strange, and the oolong of the research topic is just a bad start.

The manuscript she had written for several months was returned by the publisher, and several manuscripts for review were also rejected one after another. The person responsible for the rejection did not explain the specific reason, but only gave her a letter that did not meet the requirements and could not pass the review. Short message.

It was as if someone was deliberately obstructing her, and everything was not going well.

At the beginning, she accepted the rejection once or twice calmly, but after two or three months in a row, no publisher accepted her manuscript, and no one gave her an explanation, and the matter became troublesome.

As a teacher, her qualifications are obviously not enough, and she is much younger than other teachers in the school, so that she does not have many classes at school, and her income can only be used for daily expenses, and the part-time earnings can only be saved. into savings.

She cut off contact with her family a long time ago and was financially independent. Since her sophomore year, she has never taken a penny from her family.

In her view, although people cannot be slaves to money, it is a necessity of life after all. It is a little bit to save a little bit. That's right.

Therefore, in addition to the fixed salary of teaching at the school, part-time jobs in free time on weekdays are also part of Lin Zhixin's income.

After the manuscript was rejected for several months, she already understood what was going on in her heart. There was no doubt that Li Sheng was behind the scenes.

Lin Zhixin didn't know whether Li Sheng would develop according to the original plan after returning to China, but she remembered that Li Sheng went abroad for further studies, and he chose literature as his major, and Li Sheng's parents were very influential in the management of domestic film and television literature publishing.

She suppressed the anger accumulated in her heart, unwilling to compromise for such a small matter, she still worked step by step, wrote film reviews and book reviews when she was free, and found familiar channels to submit, but without exception, all of them were returned.

During this period of time, she was very depressed, worried all day long, not knowing when Li Sheng would suddenly appear, and then use her usual means and tricks to negotiate with her.

What should she do if the other party wants to do it directly?

She became irritable and anxious, but she didn't tell Xiang Yun about it.

Xiang Yun helped her once, and she was lucky not to be targeted by Li Sheng. There was no reason for Xiang Yun to share with her what she had done by herself.

Besides, Xiang Yun is just a programmer and cannot solve the problems she encountered.

The torrential rains in August came very quickly. The first few minutes were sunny and sunny, and then it rained heavily in an instant.

Lin Zhixin was busy sorting out materials in the library until very late, when the librarian told her that the library was about to close, she realized that it was almost ten o'clock.

Seeing that it was raining heavily outside with no tendency to stop, Lin Zhixin borrowed an umbrella from the front desk of the library, left the library and walked towards the school gate.

At this point, she should be able to catch the last bus back to the community. She calculated the time in her mind, and when she passed the school police room, she nodded and greeted the school police guarding the gate, and then turned to the bus station.

Lin Zhixin waited in front of the platform for a while, but the bus didn't come, and it was estimated that it would take another ten minutes.

At this time, she suddenly heard a piercing siren. Lin Zhixin subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a black car appearing in the rain, its lights flashing twice, and then stopped beside the bus stop. down.

The woman sitting in the driver's seat is Li Sheng.
