Campus Free Labor Turned Head Judge
When I see someone asking for help in an assignment related to the entrepreneur course on the college forum, I join the group chat using a student account. I even help refine several financial models and market strategies because of my job's nature.
Everyone in the group chat is excited, to say the least. Every day, they keep calling me a genius while urging me to improve the details of the whole assignment.
Two months later, the assignment's quality is very close to perfection. But the group chat suddenly goes silent.
I scroll through the chat history out of curiosity, only to find out that the students have already created another group chat.
"That senior isn't an official teammate of ours. Let's not tell her about us using this assignment for an upcoming competition."
"Precisely! Our names are the only ones on the list! She'd better not steal the credit during tomorrow's finals!"
"With one less person involved, we each get an additional tens of thousands of dollars' worth of rewards!"
As I look at the screen, I just let out a soft chuckle.
It appears that this isn't an assignment at all.
But unfortunately for these students, I happen to be one of the judges sitting at the judging station tomorrow.
