[BL]Reborn With An Old Enemy On the Day of Our Marriage

Chapter 44 - Weibo Blast

At around the same time, Lin Qian was talking to Huo YeRui, Class 8 was exploding.

Guo XinDou was surrounded by his classmates as he read the messages on his phone out loud. “…Just a few days ago, someone in Weibo called ‘The Tree Hole in No.12 High School‘ asked any student from No.12 to anonymously send them any secrets that they knew. Looking through the posts, a lot of people seem to have sent in stuff about the recent controversy with the test and the school recommendation….and suddenly, many influential accounts are reposting and forwarding these posts! It’s now attracted everyone’s attention. Things were blowing up, and a lot of people started calling the Municipal Department of Education and the admissions office to inquire about it, asking if there’s been an abuse of power….”

All the students around Guo XinDou were listening in rapt attention. When they saw Guo XinDou stop, they hurriedly urged him to continue: “And then? What’s the situation now?”

“I don’t know.” Gou XinDou said regretfully. “That’s all what my friend sent me in QQ.”

At this time, smartphones are yet to be popularized. Weibo had also just been released, so for many, it was still a new and unfamiliar thing. These high school students who were studying all day usually didn’t even go online. And even if they did, everyone usually used Penguin. Although some people occasionally used Weibo, which closely followed the newest trends, these youngsters’ understanding and influence in the platform were rudimentary at best.

In fact, not only the students but even the many adults that regularly surf the web hadn’t realized yet just how powerful these social networking platforms were.

Since this concept of fast and self-made media hadn’t emerged yet, most people only regard Weibo as an ordinary social networking site.

Guo XinDou was still struggling with his cell phone, trying to log into his QQ and pull out the messages his friend had sent him, unable to fully retell the story that has everyone excited.

All the students around him were distraught. They lamented: “I really want to know what’s going on, ah!”

“Ah, wait! My friend just sent me an MMS message! Let me uphold justice!” As soon as Guo XinDou said this, all the hungry students descended upon him. “Open it! Have a look, quick, quick!”

The picture shows a computer screen Gou XinDou’s friend had snapped with their phone. On the computer screen was a Weibo page. The photo was extremely blurry and had a pitiful amount of megapixels, but all the students looking at the photo managed to decipher the words on the computer.

@Voice of Rong City: Recently, a public account called ‘The Tree Hole in No.12 High School’ has revealed some shocking news. Huo PingChuan, the Vice-Principal of No.12 High School, is suspected of abusing his power to help his son Huo YeRui, a senior student in No.12, to cheat on a test and get first place in the school rankings. Huo PingChuan is also suspected of using improper means to get the school to recommend Huo YeRui for F University, squeezing out the original recommendation student candidate. This matter had attracted widespread attention, and many media outlets are asking the city’s Education Bureau to investigate the matter. The Education Bureau has since replied that they were investigating the issue and had no definite response at this time.

Underneath the post were a large number of netizens forwarding the post. Each repost had also been reposted several times, with a high amount of comments underneath them.

Although the students couldn’t see the comments and reactions underneath the post, they could already tell that the topic was currently very popular on the internet.

How ironic that the students of No.12, the people who were closest to the news, had only found out about it much later.

All the students were very itchy. “Ah, I also want to add fuel to the fire!”
