Chen Xi recalled what Qiao Weimin had said to him yesterday. He curled his lips and lowered his voice: "Poor grades."
"How many people with good grades can transfer to the school through connections? Anyway, our class does not accept people with such connections. You said that it's the third year of high school and the college entrance examination is approaching. Why transfer in with poor grades? It will only lower the average score of the class!"
The head teacher of Class C agreed: "Yes."
Teachers also have performance appraisals, and their year-end bonuses are closely linked to students' performance. No one wants to earn less salary for no reason.
Chen Xi quickened his movements, and neatly picked out the information of his students from a pile of information, held it in his arms, and said to the head teacher of Class C, "I have finished sorting out the materials for the start of the school year. Lao Liu, take your time, I'm leaving first."
When the head teacher of Class C saw that she was about to leave, he put down what he was doing and tried to stop her in surprise: "The transfer student is here, don't you want to see how she did on the test?"
Chen Xi promised Qiao Weimin that she would not let Qiao Nian study in their class. It didn’t matter much to her how Qiao Nian performed in the exam, although she felt that Qiao Nian would not be able to get into Class B!
"No, I have to go to the morning meeting in class to announce some good news."
The head teacher of Class C heard about it and said with envy on his face, "It's about your class's Qiao Chen being recommended to the People's Art Theatre, right? That's great. The school forum is full of posts about this. You will be the head teacher of a big star in the future. Don't forget your colleagues when you become successful!"
"Haha, I'm leaving first."
…
Beside the sofa, the Dean of Studies brought Qiao Nian the test paper, a pen, and some scratch paper, and said, "The principal hasn't come yet, so you can take the test here first. I'll mark it for you when you're done. When the principal comes, I'll make sure you'll be in which class."
"OK!"
Qiao Nian casually took the test paper and scanned the questions on it.
Just as she thought, the questions were all flashy and superficial. The whole test paper could be summed up in two words: boring!
That’s how exams are. The questions are always boring and have no use in society.
The dean thought she was stumped by the questions, so he said gently, "This set of questions includes math, physics, chemistry, English, and Chinese. You have 90 minutes to answer the questions. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. Writing is more important than writing..."
Qiao Nian hummed, and the corners of her eyes raised casually, as if she had heard it. She put the test paper down, and instead of using the pen given to her by the dean, she took out another black water-based pen from her schoolbag. "Then take your time writing."
When the dean saw her start answering the questions, he followed the other teachers to continue working on the materials.
He was not worried about Qiao Nian cheating because there were surveillance cameras in the office and there were so many teachers here. If this transfer student really cheated, it only meant that the student had bad behavior and was not smart enough!
…
Time passes by every second.
Half an hour later.
Qiao Nian put down his pen and suddenly said, "Teacher, I'm done."
The Dean was stunned when he heard this, and walked over, "So fast, why don't you check it?"
Qiao Nian put the cap on the pen, his eyes dark and cold: "No need."
"… "
He bent down and picked up Qiao Nian's paper, glanced at it, and filled it out. Out of teacher ethics, he couldn't help but say, "Student Qiao Nian, this is related to which class you will attend, you must be careful."
Qiao Nian raised his eyes and said, "Well, I did it very carefully."
At least this was the most serious exam she had ever taken.
Seeing that she really didn't intend to check it anymore, the dean sighed and said, "Okay, I'll correct it for you."
When the other teachers saw him grading papers, they all gathered around to watch. They all wanted to see how this new transfer student performed!
