Chapter 244: Interlude during seat adjustment

When the evening self-study began, Mu Zhengguang walked to the podium and projected the seating chart onto the screen. The new seating chart had been written long ago, but he didn't want to take up class time or break time, so he waited until the evening self-study to talk about it.

Li Xianqun looked at the seating chart carefully. He seemed to see the most horrifying scene in his life. The more he looked at it, the more horrified he became: How can the seats of the third-year high school students be arranged like this? Can boys and girls sit at the same table? There are more boys than girls in the class, but most of the good seats are occupied by girls, not boys.

What if the parents ask about it? How do I explain it to them? Even if the parents don't ask, what if those good students ask about it? Should I tell them about Mu Zhengguang's identity? But I don't know what Mu Zhengguang's identity is, and I don't know how much power he has. Even if I tell them, the students may not believe it.

Li Xianqun was terrified, and the noise in the classroom made him even more frightened. But he hoped that the group of people could be noisier and last longer, because maybe Mr. Mu standing on the podium would change his mind and rearrange the seats because of the noise.

This way, everyone is more convenient. Good students get good seats, and he doesn't have to explain to the students and their parents, let alone face the strange looks of his colleagues.

Mu Zhengguang listened to the noise, and his expression did not change. The noise could not change anything. It was normal for everyone to have opinions, but unfortunately they could not decide where to sit. After they finished arguing and making a fuss, they would still sit down according to the seats in the seat map. There was no doubt about that.

"I have a different opinion. I don't want to sit in the sixth row." This was said by Su Rongzhu, the second on the report card. He had just been discussing this with the "first".

During the discussion, he learned that the first place had won five games in a row, while he had won six games in a row, so the first place immediately praised him. He could not resist the praise, so he stood up and attacked the person on the stage.

"Why don't you want to sit in the sixth row?"

"I won six consecutive games in the second modeling competition and got 35 bonus points. My score was second in the class."

Hearing the words "second in the class", Li Xianqun panicked. It's not that he didn't emphasize Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze's grades, but their names didn't appear on the transcript, so some people ignored them and forgot who was the real first and second in the class. Would those two big shots have a bad impression of him because of this? If they had a bad impression, how could he make up for it?

Li Xianqun didn't dare to talk to the two big shots, but he was still confident to talk to the "second in class". He was about to scold that person, but he heard Mr. Mu talking, and he quickly calmed down and suppressed all his thoughts.

"Your score is second in the class, so you can't sit in the sixth row, right?" Mu Zhengguang's voice was not loud and his tone was very calm, sounding a bit like he was discussing with someone else.

Su Rongzhu found that the big shot on the podium was quite easy to talk to. After all, they were all classmates and definitely didn't want to make things awkward over the seat issue. He also lowered his voice and replied "yes".

"Unfortunately, no. There is no necessary connection between scores and seats. Your seat is in the sixth row, which is the seat I chose for you. If you don't want to go, you can exchange seats with others." Giving a favor to the "second in the class" would offend the big shot standing on the podium. The students in the class were not stupid, and they all knew that this choice was not worthwhile. Therefore, even though Su Rongzhu looked at his good friends for help again and again, no one responded to him, and his friends seemed not to see his eyes.

"Fan Chongkang, would you like to change seats with me?"

The student named by Su Rongzhu was sitting in the fourth row next to the window, which was not as good as his current seat.

Su Rongzhu was trapped in an awkward situation. The people sitting in the middle of the fifth row were all girls, and the people sitting in the middle of the third and fourth rows were all people who already had someone they loved. These people would definitely not exchange seats with him, and he was too embarrassed to ask them for help. However, good seats were limited, and apart from these twelve seats, his seat could barely be considered the best. No matter how he changed, it was always "second best".

Therefore, he made a decision and found a friend who had a bad seat. He thought that if he changed the seat, he could make the big shot lose face, and he would not lose too badly.

Unfortunately, Fan Chongkang didn't want to change seats. He found that he was sitting very close to the person he secretly loved. If this seat was changed, he would lose a lot. He rejected the other party's request mercilessly: "No, you can find someone else."

Su Rongzhu stared at the seating chart for a long time. He didn't want to go to a bad seat. He couldn't go to a good seat. In comparison, he sat in the sixth row, which was not bad, not as good as the best, but better than the worst. He knew he had no choice, but he was unwilling to be defeated like this. It would be better if the person above him could give him a way out.

Mu Zhengguang was waiting. The other party had not found anyone to change seats, and it was obvious that he had no other choice. In this case, he did not need to say anything more to this person. What he had to do was to tell everyone present the truth and let them understand that accepting the seat change was an inevitable result.

"The new seating arrangement is very different from the old one. Some people cannot adapt to it now, which is normal. I hope everyone can find friends and sit next to friends. The seats will be adjusted again soon. I hope you will write your names the same as this time. Classmates, does anyone have any different opinions?"

Su Rongzhu was upset: "Friends? Would it be better to sit with friends than in the middle of the classroom? Wouldn't this way of arranging seats cause the grades of students with poor self-control to decline? But it's also good, others have declined, and I have improved relatively speaking. But no matter how much I improve, I can't sit in the middle seat, unless I can be like Wang Junpei, but... I don't want to be like him!
As soon as Mu Zhengguang finished speaking, Lu Hao took the lead in expressing his opinion. He shouted "No different opinions", and then many people followed him and shouted.

The voices of those who had no opinions far outweighed those who had opinions, and the result was already decided.

Li Xianqun was very surprised: neither Lu Hao nor Li Moqi benefited the most from the new seating arrangement. They were originally very close to each other and sat in the middle. Mu Zhengguang just moved them to the same table, that's all. In other words, Mu Zhengguang didn't do much for them, but Lu Hao was willing to support him, and no one asked Lu Hao to do so. It seems that Mr. Mu is not only far superior to ordinary people in terms of asymptotic lines and asymptotic rates.

Su Rongzhu also said "no different opinions". At this moment, if he put forward a different opinion, he would offend more than one person. He did not want to ruin his future because of a momentary impulse. He pretended to be very respectful, holding books and stationery, and quickly walked to his new seat.
