Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 241: Chapter 186: The Heavens are Unfair!

What’s interesting about public opinion online is that there is always a unique angle for every news story.

The Global Times pointed out that Zhao Yi chose to major in biological sciences, and implied that spending time on something he inherently lacks talent for would waste his talent and lead to a "collapse of genius".

In the beginning, this was the focus of online discussions, but then the attention quickly shifted elsewhere.

A point was noted--

Special recruitment!

Special recruitment is unlike enrolling special students.

Special students refer to those with skills in sports, art, competitions, etc. They might be accepted with lowered scores, but special recruitment is equivalent to giving them a guarantee. It recruits students who are not eligible for the guarantee. freeweɓnøvel.com

If Zhao Yi was ’specially recruited’ for a major related to computer science or mathematics, no controversy would have arisen. But he was specially admitted to the biological science major, prompting attention from the public. Some media directly asked, "He has results in mathematics and computer science, which have nothing to do with the major of biological sciences. Why the ’special recruitment’ then?"

Then there was a saying, "You can’t get preferential treatment everywhere just because you’re a genius in one area!"

"A math genius could be recruited into a biology department? If you sing well, could you be recruited into Shuimu University?"

"That’s ridiculous!"

"Even a genius should not receive such privileges. He also took the College Entrance Examination. Why didn’t he enroll in a school through the normal exam process?"

p>Then. freewebnoveℓ.com

The news that Zhao Yi handed in his papers for mathematics, science and English ahead of time in the College Entrance Examination was once again unearthed by the netizen.

Some people simply said, "Zhao Yi disrespected the College Entrance Examination because he believed he could choose his university at will!"

Among those who were the most vocal and influential was Li Lin, a guest on the show "Brain Power Burst". Li Lin has always had a feud with Zhao Yi, mainly because his evaluations of Zhao Yi were swiftly invalidated, leading to nicknames like ’Dr. Li who can’t be fair’ and ’Dr. Li who is not a genius’.

Li Lin was greatly affected by this.

Not to mention that his voice was lowered on the "Brain Power Burst" show, but later when academics came forward to support Zhao Yi, he did not say anything and was still dragged out to be criticized.

Now, whenever he finds news regarding Zhao Yi online, Li Lin feels he has found an opportunity to ’take revenge’.

The facts lie in front of our eyes!

Zhao Yi handed in his math, science, and English exams an hour ahead of time, which were taken as ’not taking the exams seriously because he thought he could choose any school he wanted’ and ’disrespecting the College Entrance Exam’. It was about time for him to speak up.

When he was being interviewed by reporters, Li Lin brought up the topic of the College Entrance Examination, "The College Entrance Exam is the fairest and most meaningful exam, the turning point of many people’s lives!"

"Attending a good university and receiving better education is the hope of all students who take the College Entrance Examination. Everyone should take the test more seriously, especially as a renowned figure in the academic field."

"Some people, whether recommended or specially recruited, get offer letters way early. But as long as they participate in the College Entrance Exam, they should take it seriously. It’s not only a testament to their own lives, but also a respect for the exam."

"Otherwise, they might as well not participate..."

"If they participate in the College Entrance Exam but do not take the test seriously, I believe it is very disrespectful, even intentional behavior."

Enough said!

Li Lin didn’t mention Zhao Yi in his interview, but kept mentioning the College Entrance Examination again and again. He felt that he had been quite lenient without saying anything too harsh.

Other people don’t think so.

When the media put the news in a report, it instantly sparked a lot of discussions. Most people supported Li Lin’s stance, because what he said made a lot of sense.

If you take the College Entrance Exam, you should respect it!

The College Entrance Exam is serious and solemn. Every year, it is filled with tension and earnestness. Other students take their tests seriously, and ’special admission’ students join in just for the formality, not to mention whether they take the test seriously. They hand in their papers halfway through?

Isn’t this disrespect!

Of course.

In fact, not everyone on the internet is criticizing Zhao Yi. There are still many people who stand up to express support.

For example, an invigilator came forward to say that Zhao Yi’s test paper was fully completed.

For example, a student from the Thirteenth Middle School revealed that Zhao Yi always finished his tests much earlier and still managed to get astounding results.

For example, a user on a forum who claimed to be ’Zhao Yi’s English teacher’ angrily stated ’Zhao Yi answers questions very fast’ and ’he could finish the questions in a few dozen minutes’.

And so on.

All the above voices of support were easily drowned out by the wave of public opinion.

The public opinion on the internet obviously affected Zhao Yi. He was puzzled when he went out for exercise and to buy breakfast only to be surrounded by a group of reporters.

Zhao Yi bluntly said, "Is it about me handing in my College Entrance Exam papers early?"

"I finished my paper, and my grades shouldn’t be bad. As for being admitted by the Biological Science major... I suggest you go interview Yanhua University. Initially, I wanted to fill in my college preferences normally. However, Professor Qian Zhijin of Yanhua University said that not doing special recruitment would take away a place from a Nanjiang student."

"So, I thought about it before I agreed...."

Zhao Yi very simply unveiled Qian Zhijin because that’s how it happened. He had hoped to fill in his college preferences normally even if it was just for formality. The end of high school would have been perfect, unlike now...
