After Teacher Zhang Xuefeng’s account had been banned for a while, he finally resumed streaming.
As the teacher with the most followers and the highest traffic on the short-video platform for guiding ordinary kids on choosing college majors for the gaokao, the number of viewers when he went live again hadn’t decreased at all.
He first hyped up the benefits of choosing liberal arts: “Alright, let’s connect with our first fan.”
The first parent happened to be from Hei Province and went straight to the question: “Can I apply to Blue Star Central First Agricultural School?”
The moment that question came out, Teacher Zhang’s expression changed instantly.
The operations staff beside him desperately shot him looks—this question absolutely could not be answered! Careful, or the account would get banned for another month.
Teacher Zhang scratched his head and ears, leaned back in his chair: “Where did you hear this news from? As far as I know, this agricultural school hasn’t started large-scale enrollment promotion.”
The parent: “Our family works in agricultural reclamation. That agricultural school’s plaque is right at our doorstep.”
A hint of despair flickered in Teacher Zhang’s eyes. Heaven wants to destroy me!
If he went offline on the first day of streaming, wouldn’t this account be ruined?
Clinging to one last shred of hope, he said weakly: “This school is newly established. What majors it offers, roughly what the admission scores are, whether it’ll enroll this year—everything is unknown.”
So please, don’t ask him!
But the parent seemed unable to hear the deeper meaning in his words and said in confusion: “But my son already received an admission notice from this agricultural school.”
The moment those words came out, the live chat exploded with comments.
[The gaokao hasn’t even started yet, and your son already got an admission notice? This must be a scam school!]
[Scammers these days are getting more and more outrageous. Swindling money is one thing, but isn’t this ruining the kid’s future?]
[A mere agricultural school dares to use the name “Blue Star First”? Where does that leave Tsinghua and Peking University? Do they even respect Harvard and Yale?]
[My god! These scammers could’ve just robbed you outright, but they actually gave you an admission notice. Family, I just browsed their official website—guess what I found?]
[The person above me, I found it too! Their principal is actually a young woman in her early twenties, a graduate student. Hilarious! The scammers couldn’t even bother to use a photo of a sixty or seventy-year-old man. Isn’t this just rubbing my IQ into the ground?]
Watching the live chat comments, Teacher Zhang broke out in cold sweat. With a strong will to survive, he hastily tried to defuse the situation: “Everyone’s misunderstanding. This is a legitimate university, not a scam school. It was newly established this year.”
To prevent the public opinion from escalating, Teacher Zhang quickly changed the subject: “This parent, are you sure the notice you received is from the agricultural school? I can say with absolute certainty that this school hasn’t released any enrollment guidelines. Is your son perhaps specially recruited?”
The parent, who had been doubting life itself while reading the comments, said with some hesitation: “I suppose you could call it special recruitment. My son’s academic grades aren’t great, but his physical fitness is excellent. He joined the military at eighteen. A while back, he told me he was admitted to the First Agricultural School and would report to the school next month.”
This explanation would’ve been better left unsaid.
[Scam confirmed!]
[Even if it’s not a scam, it’s definitely an amateur operation.]
[Everyone in this country knows—if it’s something good, it absolutely won’t be publicly announced, and they won’t actively invite you.]
The more the parent read, the more panicked they became.
Actually, the benefits of being in the military were quite good. Maybe going to this agricultural school wasn’t necessary after all?
“Teacher Zhang, should I tell my son not to go to this school?”
The live stream operations staff squeezed their eyes shut hard.
As industry leaders, they had done extensive research on universities nationwide and their major offerings.
Blue Star Central First Agricultural School—they remembered it very well!
Not just because the name was strange, but because from establishment to approval to completion, it had moved at what could only be called divine speed!
What did that mean? It meant there was an invisible hand pushing things behind the scenes.
They had even used connections to inquire about it, but before they could dig up anything, they received a warning.
Could they say this kind of thing in the live stream?!
Teacher Zhang was panicking hard.
He rubbed his face vigorously: “Parent, how are your family’s circumstances?”
“Just an ordinary farming family. Two sons—the older one delivers food, the younger one’s in the military. Their grandparents are in poor health, bedridden. My husband and I farm in the summer and do odd jobs in the winter.”
This family’s circumstances were truly very difficult.
Teacher Zhang took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said with absolute certainty: “Go! You must go! Don’t hesitate.”
The parent: “But… if my son goes to school, the family will lose a significant chunk of income. That’s not the main issue—for our child’s future, we can grit our teeth and endure four hard years. But what if there’s something wrong with this school? What will happen to my son?”
The netizens also thought Teacher Zhang’s suggestion was too risky.
Even if the agricultural school was real, what future could there be in graduating from agriculture? With the current job market, even graduate students were struggling to find work, let alone agriculture!
For this family, the son continuing in the military and striving to stay on as a non-commissioned officer was the best choice.
Not long ago, Teacher Zhang had already been under pressure and warnings from various sides, forced to have his account banned for a month.
Finally unbanned, on the first day of streaming, this incident pushed him to the center of controversy again.
Actually, he should just hang up on this caller and find some excuse to brush it off.
But…
A struggle flickered in Teacher Zhang’s eyes. If this family’s circumstances were middle-class or above, he wouldn’t say anything more.
But this family was too poor, with extremely low risk tolerance. Any single choice could determine the fate of this entire family.
The operations staff’s eyelids twitched. One look at Teacher Zhang’s expression and they knew what he wanted to do.
The operations staff opened their mouth, miming words, shaking their head like a rattle drum: “No! No!”
But Teacher Zhang, bearing the criticism of the entire live stream audience, said in an incredibly serious tone, slowly: “Trust me, go to this school! This special recruitment—the school came to your son’s unit, right? Trust the country!”
The live chat flooded with comments…
In this day and age, did anyone still believe that kind of talk?
What surprised them was—someone actually did!
The connected parent was deeply grateful: “Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhang! I’ll tell my son right now to go report to the school!”
This live stream had enormous impact, instantly pushing Teacher Zhang and Blue Star Central First Agricultural School to the third spot on trending searches.
[Misleading the young! This kind of person should be banned.]
[Who exactly approved this diploma mill? Must investigate thoroughly! Is education a joke to them?]
A group of netizens filed complaints under the Ministry of Education’s official account.
This time, the official response was swift.
Ministry of Education: [Blue Star Central First Agricultural School is independently established by the Ministry of Education. It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and a centrally administered institution, aimed at cultivating the various talents our country needs.]
Other official media outlets quickly shared the post, and even military accounts reposted it.
Huh????
The netizens were dumbfounded: Mom, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me.
