Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Votes Increase
Sheng Tang was one of the last to write, but her votes quickly started to rise.
When her votes rose to twelfth place, Jiang Baocu noticed and called her, shouting excitedly.
Sheng Tang was at the gym.
Then, when she reached the top ten, Jiang Baocu called again; when she was in the top six, she called yet again...
In just a short while, Jiang Baocu did nothing but stare at her phone. She alternated between checking the forum to see how people were joking and modifying Sheng Tang’s slogan, chatting in the class group, and refreshing the event homepage. She was incredibly busy.
In just a few hours, Sheng Tang’s slogan was already in the top three, only five votes short of the second place.
The second place was Yang Mingming.
Yang Mingming’s slogan was very literary: "One flower, one blade of grass, one world."
Maybe it had a Zen feel, or perhaps she was just very popular at school. In any case, she got lots of votes, with ninety percent of them coming from boys.
The current first place was a senior from the third year. His slogan was: "Don’t step on me, I’m fierce."
It was both cute and a bit assertive.
This kind of slogan was very likable and quite suitable for becoming an official slogan.
Sheng Tang cast a vote for him.
She didn’t find the slogan contest very interesting. Even if she got first place, the school would never actually use hers.
Slogans are a part of public culture.
Since it’s culture, it needs to have substance. It can’t be like Sheng Tang’s curse-like slogan.
She didn’t take it seriously herself.
Sheng Tang shrugged indifferently, turned on speakerphone, and said to Jiang Baocu on the other end, "Top three is just top three, it’s no big deal."
Jiang Baocu: "Sister, you’re too calm. Your votes are still increasing. You’re definitely going to be first."
"Even if I get first, the teachers will eventually remove mine. By then, those who are jealous of me will have more to talk about." Sheng Tang laughed.
These words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Jiang Baocu completely.
Jiang Baocu’s enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
She let out an ’oh’ sound, sounding very aggrieved: "Maybe not, though?"
Even she didn’t believe what she said.
Sheng Tang was right. The chances of her slogan being used were really slim.
"Who knows." Sheng Tang chuckled, "Have you finished your homework?"
"I haven’t done it yet."
"Get to it," Sheng Tang urged her, "Why do you get distracted so easily?"
Jiang Baocu: "......"
She had very little willpower and was easily tempted, like when she first got into Weibo and writing public accounts.
Unlike Sheng Tang, who had a clear goal: high school was for studying.
Anything that interrupted her studies could be set aside.
Sheng Tang hung up the phone and took out her homework notebook.
She had just finished writing a small essay for Chinese class when her phone rang again.
She thought it was Jiang Baocu, feeling a bit annoyed. But when she looked at it, she saw it was someone completely unexpected.
Sheng Tang didn’t expect that the person calling her in the middle of the night was Gu Shiting’s sister.
She answered the call, "Sister Feifei?"
"Tangtang, you’re not asleep, right?"
Sheng Tang thought she might have something important, and got a bit nervous: "No, I’m not. Does Senior have something going on?"
The other end of the line went quiet for a moment, clearly stunned by Sheng Tang’s guess before bursting into laughter.
Gu Shiyan’s laughter was completely unladylike; she laughed so hard she was bent over backward: "Who cares about him?"
She and her brother were always at each other’s throats, but they were blood-related, and that bond was unbreakable.
"It’s nothing to do with him." Gu Shiyan was laughing heartily on the phone, "I saw your school’s forum. Your slogan cracked me up."
Sheng Tang: "...."
