Seventy, name misspelled (2)

  "Look, look," I said, pointing.

  "Oh, it's missing a 'wang' radical," Gu Xuelin nodded, "What can be done about this?"

  "I don't know if it was the person who posted this announcement who wasn't paying attention and made a mistake, or if your class had already written your name incorrectly when they submitted it."

  "The name we reported to the branch secretary should be correct."

  "That's when they made this announcement, they got it wrong."

  "Is it urgent? If so, I'll go ask our team leader about it."

  "If it's just a typo on the announcement, it shouldn't be a big deal. What I'm worried about is if the mistake is also on the award certificate, which might have some impact when we graduate and look for jobs."

  "Then I'll tell our team leader about it," said Gao Xuelin, taking out her mobile phone to make a call.

  "Let's find a quieter place to talk, it's too noisy here."

  "Uh-huh," Gu Xue Lin nodded.

  The two of us walked away from the crowd.

  Just a few steps away, Gu Xue Lin suddenly shouted, "Oh no, our team leader has something to do this afternoon and took the day off."

  "Then go find your class monitor."

  "Our class monitor doesn't care about this, scholarship matters are handled by the League branch secretary."

  "Why don't you just call your counselor then."

  "Shall we call our counselor?" Gu Xue Lin was taken aback, "She won't scold me, will she? I heard from people in our class that our counselor is having a bad time with her husband and they're on the verge of divorce."

  "This is not your responsibility, she has no reason to say it's yours. She's in a bad mood, it's her problem, not your fault."

  "Alright, I'll give our counselor a call."

  Gu Xue Lin finished speaking and started searching for a number in her phone's address book.

  The number was found soon.

  "I hit it."

  "Uh-huh."

  After a series of ringing tones, the phone was answered.

  "Hello Teacher Zhang, I am Gu Xuelin from Network Class 2..."

  While Gu Xue Lin was on the phone, I searched for Ouyang Xiao Xiao's figure in the crowd in front of the bulletin board.

  I hope I can see her, even if it's just a back view, and I will feel satisfied.

  However, I looked through the crowd twice, but still couldn't find any trace of Ouyang Xiaoxiao. This made me quite disappointed, perhaps she had come in the morning.

  At this time, Gǔ Xuělín had finished her phone call and walked over. She was seen pouting with an unhappy expression.

  "What's wrong? Didn't your counselor really scold you?"

  "She told me to find the teacher of the student union by myself, and I asked her if this matter was serious or not. She said, of course it's serious, the scholarship might even be cancelled."

  "Isn't that right? It's just a mistake with the name. Just change it and it's fine, what's the big deal? Your counselor must be scaring you."

  "But our counselor said that Zhang Bang's name is the same as the one on the award certificate, which is also the name submitted to the team branch book. If we change it now, it would be very troublesome."

  "It's not necessary, just let them add a 'king' character next to it, no need to cross it out and rewrite. Such a simple thing, why make it so complicated?"

  "What am I supposed to do now?"

  "Go to your school's Youth League Committee and ask them to change the name."

  "But it's just past 12 o'clock now, and our teacher in charge of the student union doesn't start work until 2 o'clock."

  "Then you can go find them again at two o'clock."
