When Ye Zhao approached him calmly and asked him why he skipped school, Zeng Xiang was silent for a few seconds. He thought this might be a trap!
"I'm not skipping school." The big guy lied with his eyes open.
Are you kidding me? Ye Zhao didn't believe it, but she couldn't expose it directly. She flattered him at the right time: "For someone as capable as you... you also have to work every day?"
Such a great...
Zeng Xiang straightened his back unconsciously, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation so as to appear "powerful", so he simply kept silent.
Ye Zhao didn't get an answer, so he had to sit up straight and look at the classmates around him.
Class was about to start and everyone went back to their seats, except Zeng Xiaoling, who was still staring at her with a scrutinizing look from a distance.
Zeng Xiaoling was Bai Lu’s die-hard fan and best friend. Later, she joined the Ye family’s company and helped Bai Yunlian suppress the original owner.
Ye Zhao ignored her and took out a notebook and pen from her backpack. She hadn't received her new textbooks yet and didn't have any materials, so she put the notebook on the table just for show.
There are four classes in the morning, the first one is English, the second one is math, and the last two classes are Chinese.
The English class was a little boring and made people sleepy. As a new student, Ye Zhao didn't dare to sleep, but Zeng Xiang did. He just lay on the table and fell asleep.
The English teacher also completely ignored it and pretended not to see it.
Ye Zhao was in a daze, it was a rare moment of "quietness", so she began to make plans for herself.
In addition to completing system tasks, she also has to realize her dream - to lie down early and become a salted fish landlord.
She had memorized the original book thoroughly, and she found a way in the book to earn her first pot of gold in the early days, but this first pot of gold also required start-up capital. The money she had saved was not enough, so she had to think of a way.
Before I could think of a solution, a pie suddenly fell from the sky.
After the English class, during the break, the students stood up and moved around.
A slightly plump boy in the front row came to talk to Zeng Xiang, and it seemed that he wanted to persuade Zeng Xiang to participate in a music competition with him.
Ye Zhao looked over curiously. Wasn't that slightly fat boy the boy who played drums every day in the building opposite? He was Fatty Ying's son, and his name seemed to be Xiaotian.
Xiaotian was holding a promotional leaflet in his hand. Ye Zhao had sharp eyes and saw at a glance the promotional words "Ten thousand bonus" circled in gold on the paper!
Ten thousand yuan in this era is a huge bonus.
She immediately leaned over and asked, "What music competition? Can I participate?"
Xiaotian and Zeng Xiang looked at her at the same time. Xiaotian knew that she was Zeng Xiang's tenant. He said, "The registration period has ended."
It turned out to be the first Gulf Music Competition organized by the Shenzhen School-Enterprise Federation. Each school had only one place to participate, and the registration has now closed.
Ye Zhao asked: "Have you signed up?"
"Our band has signed up. Wen Tianxiang Band." When Xiaotian said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
Wen Tianxiang Band? Sounds so familiar!
Ye Zhao quickly read through the original book. This was the band that Bai Lu's first love boyfriend Awen used to be in. That band eventually won the championship of the first Gulf Music Competition.
This was the beginning of Bailu falling in love with Awen.
Wen Tianxiang Band is the champion? They won the championship with a prize of 10,000 yuan
Ye Zhao suddenly realized that Zeng Xiang played guitar, Xiao Tian played drums, and A Wen was the keyboardist. This was an opportunity that fell from the sky.
Xiaotian was trying to persuade him, but the boss looked indifferent. Did Zeng Xiang not want to participate in the competition? Then did she have a chance
She can learn guitar. I don’t know why, but she is so confident that she can learn it.
"Can I join? I have a musical foundation. I can sing, and I can also learn other instruments if needed."
Xiaotian's eyes lit up immediately: "You want to join our band?"
In this day and age, it is very popular if there are girls in a band.
Ye Zhao stepped forward: "I can play guitar, too. I can learn it right now."
As she said this, she touched Zeng Xiang's shoulder and said, "If you don't do it, then I will."
Big Boss: "You can't fall in love with me."
"I'll do it. I can do it." Ye Zhao patted Xiao Tian's chest, his eyes sparkling. "I won't let you down."
Xiaotian has never seen such a confident woman. He was originally caught between the guitarist and the keyboardist. Every communication task forced him to compromise and jump back and forth. He was almost schizophrenic. The appearance of Ye Zhao gave him a glimmer of hope for their band. Maybe she could persuade Brother Xiang to participate in the competition
"Then let's talk after school."
Ye Zhao gave him an "OK" gesture.
At the same time, rumors about the discord between the new classmate and Bai Lu spread among the classmates. Soon, almost everyone in the class knew that because of the new classmate's jealousy and "silly actions", Bai Lu would not be able to take the college entrance examination here.
Ye Zhao could clearly feel that the eyes of those who were on good terms with Bai Lu became complicated and even hostile when they looked at her.
Ye Zhao was too lazy to pay attention. She borrowed Zeng Xiang's math book. She had almost forgotten some of the uncommon math formulas, so she wanted to review them in advance.
There were a few words written on the brand new book, and she then realized that Zeng Xiang was writing in traditional Chinese characters.
Why do you write in traditional Chinese? Is it because you were influenced by the culture of the Hong Kong government since childhood that you like traditional Chinese
Ye Zhao didn't think much about it. She quickly turned to the last page and memorized the relevant mathematical formulas again.
In math class, we had to take quizzes on papers, which were the "mimeographed papers" unique to that era. The smell of ink went straight to our heads, and it was hard to tell whether it was fragrant or smelly, but it was very intoxicating.
Ye Zhao had never touched this kind of mimeographed test paper before. She accidentally wiped it lightly and got her hand covered in ink. She didn't have any tissues so she could only rub it on the draft paper to try to clean it off.
The trouble was, she blacked out a key number in the question, and it was unclear whether it was "338" or "388". Ye Zhao leaned over to look at Zeng Xiang's paper.
It turned out that as soon as he got the test paper, the guy had finished answering the multiple-choice questions, and his answers were all "C".
This is truly a teachable child!
Ye Zhao suppressed his laughter and said softly, "Hey, try to do it. If you can't do it, choose C."
"No I will."
You don’t know the answer but you are not listening carefully in class
Ye Zhao didn't know what to say. After all, she didn't have the hobby of being a know-it-all. She just let the boss do whatever he wanted.
The papers have been handed out. The math teacher said that these are excerpts from previous college entrance examination questions. Some of the questions are quite difficult, so please take them seriously.
The students were whispering to each other, and the brave ones asked directly: "Teacher Rao, the test is too difficult. What should I do if I get a zero?"
"What should I do if I get a zero? If I get a zero, I'll have to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes! Get out of here!" Teacher Rao is from another place. He speaks standard Mandarin and has a bad temper. This group of students is the worst he has ever taught, so in the teacher's eyes, except for the few with good grades, he just doesn't like the others.
The students with poor grades often handed in their papers early, which was very annoying. Teacher Rao pointed at Bai Lu and said, "The old rule is that you can't hand in your papers early. No one else can hand in their papers before Bai Lu does."
In the eyes of many teachers, Bai Lu is the standard, the standard of a good student.
Ye Zhao picked up the pen and started working on the test paper. This was not a standard test paper, so the content was less and the difficulty was not so-so, so she finished it in less than half an hour.
After finishing, she checked the paper again, looked at the ink stains on her fingers, and rubbed them on the paper again and again in disgust. Suddenly, a ball of paper fell from the sky and landed on the test paper on her desk.
Ye Zhao glanced at the people around her. Everyone was working on the test questions seriously. She didn't know who threw it. She was about to ask Zeng Xiang if it was for him, but a figure came in from the back door and stood by.
When I looked up, I saw Teacher Rao standing by with a dark face. His expression was so grim and stiff that I couldn't even drive the steel nails in.
The paper ball was taken away and, when unfolded, a string of letters was revealed inside, which appeared to be the answers to the multiple-choice questions.
"Do you know what the consequences of cheating are?"
"I didn't cheat." Ye Zhao answered directly.
"What is this?"
“I don’t know who threw it.”
"I don't know who threw it?" Teacher Rao repeated.
"Teacher, I'm a new transfer student, and I'm not familiar with my classmates yet..."
"Not familiar? After the morning reading class, I saw you chatting with your classmates outside the window."
"It wasn't a heated conversation, it was almost a fight. They were occupying the empty seats and wouldn't let me sit down."
Not only was Teacher Rao stunned, but the whole class was shocked. Perhaps everyone had never seen a girl who dared to confront the teacher.
Teacher Rao was not a fool. He immediately realized that the new girl might have been bullied, so he softened his tone and asked, "Who threw the paper ball at you?"
Who threw it? Skinny Monkey, Fat Dump, and Zeng Xiaoling... There was no one else except these three.
Zeng Xiaoling was sitting far away from her, so she could be ruled out. Pangdun was sitting in front of her right, so the direction he threw the ball was wrong.
There was only a skinny monkey, two positions in the front left, so it was easy to throw it over.
Ye Zhao glared at the skinny monkey, who glared back at him, with a look of fearlessness and unafraidness.
Teacher Rao turned around and looked ahead: "Who threw the paper ball?"
There was dead silence and no one spoke.
"Skinny monkey. I saw it." Zeng Xiang said, then he crumpled up a piece of paper and smashed it directly on the skinny monkey's head.
The parabolic trajectory fits perfectly.
When has the boss ever meddled in other people's affairs
The skinny monkey opened his mouth to defend himself, but when he saw Zeng Xiang's cold eyes that were like a knife, he was too scared to refute. Lowering his head and not refutating meant he agreed.
Teacher Rao walked over and confiscated Shouhou's test paper. "Come to the office after class. There are still fifteen minutes left. Everyone else should hurry up and finish the test."
The skinny monkey suddenly got excited after his test paper was confiscated, "Teacher Rao, you can't just hand over my paper, there's also hers, she must have copied my answers."
Shouhou has poor grades, but his deskmate Awen has good grades and is the only one in the class who can be on par with Bailu. Does anyone know if the answers on Shouhou's paper were copied from his deskmate
"Teacher, can't you please correct the answer?"
Zeng Xiaoling in the front also whispered in agreement, "Teacher, please check the answers so that everyone can be convinced."
"Yeah, let's check it." Other students also responded.
Teacher Rao had no choice but to walk over and pick up Ye Zhao's test paper. He took a quick glance at the paper. The multiple-choice questions at the front were fine, but when he saw the answer questions at the back, Teacher Rao's eyes began to light up. When he looked at the last additional question, the light in his eyes went straight to his forehead.
He never thought that anyone in their class could solve the additional questions. He had just looked at the papers of Bai Lu and several other students with good grades, and they were still struggling to answer the questions!
This new transfer student is extraordinary. He is radiating golden light all over his body.
Teacher Rao was a little excited, and when he got excited, he jumped up like a thunderbolt, spitting all over his mouth: "What are you doing?! Your grades are like a pile of shit, and you still want to learn from others to force the palace? Li Zhongxiu, you are a piece of shit, who dares to copy your answers?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Rao slapped them in the face with his next sentence: "Look at the new student. He finished the test paper in half an hour and even finished such a difficult additional question. The paper is so neat. I can see that there is not a single wrong question."
The students were shocked! Because this test paper was too difficult. Most of them even guessed the answers to the multiple-choice questions, and only a few of them could pass.
Bai Lu, who was still struggling to answer the questions, stopped writing when she heard this. She turned her head and glanced at Ye Zhao. She knew that Ye Zhao's grades were poor. She got all the answers right in this paper in half an hour? Impossible
Zeng Xiaoling had a quick mind. She immediately thought that Ye Zhao might have done these questions before. "Teacher, she is a repeater!"
"What's wrong with being a repeater? It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat!"
"No, she must have done this question before."
It seems to be right. The questions on this test paper were selected from the previous college entrance examination question bank. It is very likely that repeaters have done it before. Teacher Rao looked at Ye Zhao and asked, "Have you done these questions before?"
Huh? Has she done this before? Ye Zhao couldn't remember if she had done this before. She must have done this type of question before, right
Seeing the female student's confused face, Lao Rao waved his hands and said, "No matter whether she has done it before or not, as long as she can solve it now, then she is the one here in my opinion." He gave a thumbs up.
"Look at you guys. You forget what I said in get out of class. This student can remember the questions he has done. He is an excellent student who is willing to work hard and has a good memory." Teacher Rao looked at Ye Zhao, "What's your name?"
"Ye Zhao."
Old Rao glanced at Ye Zhao's paper again and saw the name written on it. "That's a good name. Teacher Rao will remember you."
Ye Zhao smiled brightly. It seemed that in the teacher's eyes, she was a good cat if she could catch mice. She didn't care whether she was a mouse or a cat, as long as she could beat Bai Lu.
Bai Lu's face darkened slightly, and she even looked a little confused. From childhood to adulthood, Ye Zhao had never been her opponent. It was impossible for her to be better than her. The additional questions were so difficult. Even if Ye Zhao had done them before, with her IQ, she couldn't possibly answer them. What was the problem
She felt a little uneasy. If Ye Zhao's grades were as good as hers, would Uncle Ye still favor her like before
The girl behind Bai Lu gently touched her and said, "She's just a repeater, ignore her!"
Teacher Rao returned to the office and said to Teacher Zhou, "The new student in your class is very good. My test paper today was very difficult, and she only got one multiple-choice question wrong."
The reason why Ye Zhao got the multiple-choice question wrong was because she accidentally erased a number from the question, so she chose the wrong answer.
Teacher Zhou couldn't believe it: "She used to study liberal arts..."
"No way? Arts student? No wonder she wants to come to the science class. Look at her math grades. She is suitable for science."
The English teacher who was sitting in the corner filling out forms interrupted and said, "Is that the new one? I saw that she was distracted in class and didn't pay attention. But she and Zeng Xiang sitting together were quite harmonious. Zeng Xiang, that little bastard, didn't chase her away."
Teacher Zhou was about to say something when Skinny Guy came in and stood aside with his head down. Teacher Rao scolded him.
"Why did you bully a new female student who transferred to our school?"
"I didn't bully her. I was just teasing her."
"Tease her?"
The skinny monkey rubbed the corner of the table while talking, "She is not a good person. Because of her, Bai Lu can only return to her hometown to take the college entrance examination. Doesn't the teacher know?"
"Why?" the teachers in the office asked in unison.
Skinny Monkey told the teachers what he heard from Zeng Xiaoling, and added, "Because of people like her, a good student like Bai Lu can only go back to her hometown to take the college entrance examination. No matter how well Bai Lu does in the college entrance examination, it will have nothing to do with our senior three (fourth) class. Are you willing to trade that person for Bai Lu?"
Except for Teacher Rao who was somewhat tempted, the other teachers were unwilling.
But it was difficult for the teachers to express their opinions in front of the students. Zeng Xiaoling, who was eavesdropping outside the window, poked her head in and interrupted, "Teacher, I just heard that Ye Zhao scored less than 200 points in the last mock exam."
The English teacher couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it possible that half of the 200 points are from math?"
Teacher Rao made a “tsk” sound and said with a smile: “Maybe more than half.”
Teacher Zhou didn't say anything. He and Teacher Rao didn't get along well. Being good at math was useless. Regarding the Bailu college entrance examination, it was the students' family affairs, and the teacher couldn't do anything about it.
Teacher Zhou: "Go and call Bai Lu over."
The skinny monkey slipped out as if he had been granted amnesty.
Not long after, Bai Lu came in, and Teacher Zhou went out to talk to her alone for a while. Bai Lu was very well-behaved, and she said she didn't know what arrangements her family would make next.
"My mother told me to study with peace of mind, and she will take care of the college entrance examination." She will not go back to Wancheng to take the college entrance examination.
Teacher Zhou knew that Bai Lu's family was well off, and that the household registration issue would be resolved sooner or later as long as they were willing to find a way. "I'll be relieved if you don't leave. There's a very important competition in the city next - the high school L3 comprehensive science competition."
Bai Lu nodded: "I know, the school takes this competition very seriously."
"They are all important. There are only two vacancies in the whole school, and our class has won one. I would like to recommend you to go."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Bai Lu was very excited, as she had been waiting for this competition spot for three years.
When she was in the first year of high school, the school gave the quota to the second and third year students. When she was in the second year of high school, the quota was given to the first and third year students. She was so scared that the school would give the quota to the first and second year students again! Fortunately, she waited for the opportunity.
"I'll get the registration form from Director Liang at noon. You can come back in the afternoon to get it. Go back and fill it out. I'll discuss it with other teachers and register first."
Bai Lu nodded happily, and her depressed mood for the day was swept away.
Before the Chinese class, Teacher Zhou called Ye Zhao to his office and gave her two papers, one for liberal arts and one for science.
The school deliberately let him take the entrance exam, so he had to take it.
Teacher Zhou pointed to an empty desk in the corner of the office and said, "You don't have to attend the next two Chinese classes. Just finish these two papers here."
Ye Zhao understood that Teacher Zhou wanted to test her true level. This was good, fair and just, and she liked it.
“I didn’t take a pen.”
"Here it is."
Ye Zhao took the ballpoint pen handed to him by Teacher Zhou and sat alone in the corner to start doing the questions. Because it was a small test paper, there was more than enough time to finish two papers in two classes.
After she finished, she checked it carefully several times. The get out of class had not yet ended. She sat by the window and looked downstairs. She happened to see Uncle Su standing next to a car smoking.
Is this waiting for her to finish school
Just as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Ye Zhao put the test paper on Teacher Zhou’s desk and went downstairs directly.
After school, Bai Lu came out of the school and saw Uncle Su’s car parked at the school gate. Ye Zhao was standing next to the car, eating and chatting happily with Uncle Su.
Ye Zhao was able to repeat her senior year at Yuxin Middle School thanks to Uncle Su’s help. No wonder her mother was angry.
"Bai Lu!"
Bai Lu looked up and found that her mother had called a taxi and was coming to pick her up.
After saying goodbye to her classmates, Bai Lu ran to get into a taxi, and the mother and daughter sat in the back seat.
"Mom, why did you come to pick me up?"
"I'm just passing by on business."
Bai Lu didn't believe it, "Did you come here specially to see Ye Zhao?"
"I saw it. Old Su came to pick her up. Su Yingmin is a piece of shit. If he had remained neutral and not gotten involved, Ye Zhao would have returned to Wancheng long ago."
"You can't blame Uncle Su. They had a good relationship."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have told you this. Don't worry about it. Just study hard." After saying that, Bai Yunlian said to the taxi driver, "Drive, master."
Bai Yunlian stared at Ye Zhao outside the car. Her sister Bai Yunping gave her an idea a few days ago, asking her to call Zheng Qiuxia and ask her to come over.
Bai Yunlian couldn't intervene in Ye Zhao's affairs, but it was different for Zheng Qiuxia. Zheng Qiuxia raised Ye Zhao and was Ye Zhao's legitimate second mother. She couldn't throw a tantrum and beat him up, but Zheng Qiuxia could.
However, Bai Yunlian was very hesitant, for she was afraid that Ye Dingguo would have some thoughts about her if he knew about it.
She had to find a suitable reason and make full preparations, otherwise she couldn't just go into the water.
When Mr. Zhou returned to his office after class, he found that Ye Zhaoren was gone. Only two papers were left on the table. He couldn't help but complain to the English teacher next to him: "No wonder you said she could get along well with Zeng Xiang."
"Who is it?"
"A new transfer student."
The English teacher smiled and asked, "Why?"
“Same people.”
After finishing the test paper, he left without waiting for the teacher. How disrespectful to elders! How outrageous!
Lao Zhou was a little angry and felt overwhelmed.
Teacher Zhou picked up the test paper and took a look. His frown gradually relaxed. The style of the test paper did not look like that of a poor student. Could it be that he had really found a treasure? Is there such a good thing in the world
He grabbed the chemistry teacher who had just come in and said, "Lao Liao, help me grade the science test paper. Come on, come on, quick!"
"No hurries!"
Ten minutes later, several old hands in the office gathered together and circulated the two papers in turn.
Lao Rao spoke first: "I still have a good eye."
"If the answer she wrote was not worded differently from the standard answer, I would have suspected that it was copied directly."
"Why did she repeat the year?"
"It is said that he was ill and did not take the college entrance examination."
"This is amazing, this is a miracle! Old Zhou, we can stand up straight now!"
Teacher Rao asked, "Hey, Lao Zhou, the places for the comprehensive science competition haven't been given out yet, right?"
Teacher Zhou, immersed in joy, said hurriedly: "Not yet."
"Keep it for now, we'll observe and then decide."
"Isn't this a bad idea? I've already told Bai Lu about this."
"Why is it bad? Haven't we given it yet? The district will have its first monthly exam tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We'll decide after the exam. The results will decide! It's fair!"
