Chapter 86: Xu Die's sensitivities

When Qian An received Shuishui's call, he was busy socializing. However, he agreed to fetch Shuishui when they had finished their dinner.

When Qian An arrived to fetch Shuishui, Shuishui said, "Father, let's go to Hong Ling now. There are a few things I want t buy there."

"En, what do you want to buy?" Qian An curiously asked.

"Just some wood. I want to make something. Father, is there anything you want?" If there was anyone else she cared for, it would be her father. He was a good father. For so many years, her body's previous owner had never given him a gift, so she could give it to him. However, she didn't really know what her father lacked. She thought that she would need more money to buy him a suit. With her meager living expenses, it would be a little strange for her to buy an expensive suit.

Qian An was very supportive of Shuishui. "Father doesn't want anything else except for you to be healthy."

"Oh." Shuishui lowered her head, turned on her phone, and searched.

She browsed through some well-known forums, but she didn't find any useful information. They got out of the car when they reached the shop. Shuishui also quickly found what she needed to buy and left.

When they arrived home, Qian An helped Shuishui carry her things to her apartment.

"You should rest early. Don't tire yourself out." Qian An did not stay too long because he still had some things to do at home. His eldest daughter had changed so much that she had become more and more rebellious.

"Yes, yes, Father, be careful on your way." Shuishui waved her hand and bid Qian An farewell.

She closed the door of the apartment and took out the materials she bought. She had to draw a design before she could start working on it. She went to the study, turned on the computer, and checked the forum. She saw a post from someone who was looking for someone to write her thesis on her behalf. The other party was very anxious. Shuishui looked at the bottom and saw the details: 8,000 words for 10,000 yuan. The topic of the thesis was related to science and it was a quantitative study that required information retrieval and analyzation.

She continued to read and looked for the person's contact details.

She paused for a moment and thought about it, then she added the person as a friend and contacted him.

The other party had not replied. When she was about to turn off the computer, she received a response.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I just saw your message. Can you write my thesis for me? Are you a graduate or something?" the person responded.

Qian Shuishui replied after a long while. "I see that your thesis is due the day after tomorrow. I can tell that you're quite anxious. This price you offer is not bad. Why didn't anyone respond?"

"Uh . . . That's because those who responded gave me plagiarized works. I had run their drafts through the system and found that they were plagiarized. I couldn't possibly use those." He was really anxious because the few people he had found were all plagiarists. Naturally, he wasn't even told that the submissions were plagiarized. Since he had found out, no one had accepted his offer.

"If I write it for you and you don't give me the money, what should I do?" Shuishui felt that there was no guarantee she would be paid for ghostwriting. She feels that the other party could not be trusted and that maybe the other person also could not entirely trust her as there was no guarantee in such dealings. She was a little curious about how the person was going to deal with it.

"Don't worry. You can sell a ghostwriting project for 10,000 yuan on Tieba. You'll be done in a second. If things go smoothly, your account will be verified in seven days. But if there's a problem, you'll submit more evidence and go through internal verification. If the work is plagiarized according to the system, the money you receive will have to be returned to me. I am in a hurry. The requirements are not high. As long as it will not come out plagiarized and the similarity rate is not high, I will accept it." He had no other choice at that moment.

Shuishui opened the Tieba website. There was indeed such a system. It was pretty good. Moreover, the Tieba community had very strict regulations. She had to upload her ID card. She also had to undergo a face-to-face video interview before she could be authenticated successfully. She also had to put in a certain amount of money into her account. If she lied to others on the forum, the money would be taken away by Tieba. Accounts were rated based on the number of successful transactions. The higher the rating, the higher the credibility.

Shuishui studied the platform and quickly underwent identity verification. She also put in 1,000 yuan in her Tieba account as a deposit.

She then continued to chat with the man. "I can help you write it in two days. I guarantee it's original. I think the quality of what I do should be okay. It's up to you. I can give it to you the day after tomorrow. If you delay any longer, I won't have time."

"Uh . . Okay. I have no choice. I want to write it myself, but I can't. The topic stumped a lot of people. Many of us are looking for ghostwriters." The man had no choice but to click on the profile that Shuishui sent. He offered her 10,000 yuan for the ghostwriting project.

Shuishui replied to the messages quickly. "Send me your requests and your entire topic."

The boy sent a 'Yes' emoji and sent the document.

Shuishui accepted the offer and opened the document. She read the document and thought that it was fine. It wasn't difficult at all. It was a university thesis.

Shuishui typed on the keyboard: "I'll start writing now. Wait for my good news."

"Okay. It would be better if you could submit earlier. If you can give it to me tomorrow night, I can increase the payment." The boy was going all out.

Shuishui looked at it and typed: "Read it tomorrow night. Let's not discuss it tonight. I'll help you start writing it."

Their conversation ended without conclusion. However, towards the end, they gave each other their mobile phone numbers. This was initial proof that they trusted each other for the transaction.

Shuishui studied the topic and looked for information on the Internet. She searched for bits of information very quickly. At a glance, she knew whether the information could be used in the thesis or not.

She started to write the thesis. First, she analyzed the topic and then carried out an initial study of the data. She wrote very quickly and skillfully. She then added credible sources for the additional and supporting information and finished writing.

Shuishui looked at the information. The information she had provided was not comprehensive, but it was good and credible enough and could be utilized.

She finished working fast. After she wrote for nearly four hours, she finished the thesis. The corner of her mouth twitched. She felt that she wrote too fast. She saved the document and revised it the next day. Afterwards, she sent it to the other party. She then went to school as usual. That day, there was an announcement posted outside the school. It was about a city-wide math competition.

Shuishui took a glance and walked away. The main candidates for the competition were students in the second and third year of high school. There were two spots for first year high school students. The spot was available for first year students who wanted to gain experience, but not to compete.

Because school had just started and they had gone to military training, the math teacher chose the candidates based on the math results of the middle school examination. Qian Shuishui was prioritized because she had entered the middle school examination with high scores. During the first week of class, the math teacher had appreciated Shuishui's performance and decided that Shuishui should get the first spot. The other spot had been given to a boy from the key class.

Shuishui didn't know about it. It was only after their mathematics class when the teacher announced it that she found out she had been selected.

The students in the class weren't surprised either, because the form teacher had previously said that Qian Shuishui's middle school examination results were the highest in the class. What was surprising was that not all of them were selected for the key class. That meant that many things could happen and that Qian Shuishui could be transferred to the key class.

Xu Die looked at Qian Shuishui. "Aiyo, I think it's better if you don't go and embarrass yourself. When we attend our first year of high school, we're basically cannon fodder."

"Xu Die, you are just unwilling to accept it. Your name isn't there, but Shuishui's name is." Mu Qing very naturally spoke up for Qian Shuishui.

"Hmph." Xu Die thought about how she and Qian Shuishui lived in the same apartment. 'Some of her words had gone too far. What would Qian Shuishui discover in the future? Wouldn't it be spread everywhere by Qian Shuishui?'

Shuishui directly ignored Xu Die's gaze. She opened her textbook and looked at the contents.

Mu Zilin's gaze landed on Xu Die. He thought that Xu Die's heavy makeup that day could really make one vomit. He took Shuishui's ponytail and played with it in his palm.

Shuishui felt that she was being pulled, so she reached out to grab her hair and put it on her shoulder. She didn't want to let Zilin play with it.

At noon, Qian Shuishui tied her hair up again. Then, she brought her precious items and went to the dining hall with Zilin and Mu Qing to eat.

Xu Die felt very uncomfortable that day because she noticed that her classmates' attitudes towards her had changed.
