In the afternoon, all the first-year high school students gathered on the playground to hold a summary meeting for this monthly exam.
Jiang Ning carried a bench to the playground. He wanted to go with Xue Yuantong, but unfortunately Xue Yuantong was called away by Dan Qingrong.
As the top student in his grade, and the top student in a regular class, Xue Yuantong will represent the freshmen and give this speech.
As the crowd came to the playground, Shan Qingrong was standing in front of the Class 8 team, and Jiang Ning found a random seat and sat down.
Shan Qingrong came over here, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face:
"Jiang Ning, you are ranked fourth in the grade this time. When the time comes, go to the podium and Principal Yu will personally give you the award."
Shan Qingrong's tone was very cordial, completely different from before.
As the head teacher of an ordinary class with two students who were among the top ten in the grade, if his classmates hadn't been watching, Shan Qingrong wouldn't have been able to hold back his smile.
Next, as long as we protect these two good seedlings and send them to the college entrance examination safely, the professional title selection will surely go smoothly.
Shan Qingrong has waited too long. Many teachers of the same age around him have made steady progress, their professional titles have been raised, and their salaries are much higher than his.
Not only the professional title, No. 4 Middle School has a regulation that if the students in the class have excellent scores in the college entrance examination, the class teacher can also receive a bonus, which is a considerable amount of money.
Shan Qingrong was in high spirits as he thought about all this. He could finally hold his head high this time.
Even looking at Wu Xiaoqi's gaze, he felt much more comfortable. He secretly made up his mind that if Wu Xiaoqi dared to make trouble in his class, he would kick Wu Xiaoqi out immediately.
If the Academic Affairs Office dares to speak, and Shan Qingrong dares to directly fight back, you ask me what confidence I have
I'm sorry, but you can't influence the two top students in our class.
Thinking about this, Shan Qingrong looked up at the podium.
Principal Yu blew into the microphone and began to speak.
Principal Yu spoke in a deep voice and his speech was very logical. As usual, he first praised the excellence of No. 4 Middle School, its teaching staff, and its infrastructure, which had been praised many times by the Education Bureau. He also mentioned its outstanding alumni.
Shan Kaiquan was impatient when he heard this and said, "He has already said it once last time. Can he not say it again? If people don't know, they will definitely think that our No. 4 Middle School is Yuzhou No. 1 Middle School?"
Several classmates complained for a while.
I only heard Principal Yu say: "Next, I want to praise a student, she is Xue Yuantong from Class 8."
"Class 8 is a parallel class, but in such a class, there is a top student in the grade, she is Xue Yuantong from Class 8. This spirit of going against the current is worth our deep reflection. Now, please invite Xue Yuantong to come up and speak."
Xue Yuantong, wearing her school uniform, walked slowly to the podium. She skillfully lowered the height of the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xue Yuantong from Class 8 of Grade 1."
Her voice remains clear and pleasant even after being processed by electronic equipment.
There were students whispering from below the podium:
"She is the top student in the grade? And she is in Class 8. Her progress is too terrifying."
"Indeed, all three experimental classes were suppressed."
"Are short people good at studying?" someone said.
At this time, a well-informed student said: "She is Xue Yuantong."
"Nonsense, who doesn't know she is Xue Yuantong?"
"No, what I mean is, she and I went to the same junior high school, and she was the top student in our school at that time. She could have gone to No. 2 Middle School, but I don't know what happened and she didn't do well in the high school entrance exam," the student explained.
"I know your school. I heard that many people went to Ancheng No. 1 Middle School, and some went to No. 168 Middle School. She can rank first there. It's really amazing!"
"Yes, at first I was wondering which student from an ordinary class was so talented that he could get first place in the whole school. But then I heard Xue Yuantong's name, and I wasn't surprised anymore. She was the first in all the three years of my junior high school."
"It's really strong, but it looks too small."
"Indeed, it's a little better now. When she was in junior high school, she was even shorter and looked like an elementary school student. No boys in the class liked her."
This discussion spread to every corner of the student team.
Xue Yuantong's speech ended quickly. She stood on the podium, looking at Jiang Ning, thinking that when she received the scholarship, she must stand next to Jiang Ning, and they would also take a photo together.
Then I got the scholarship, what should I eat
Why not treat Jiang Ning to a hotpot meal
Thinking of this, Xue Yuantong's thoughts wandered and he became distracted.
In front of the entire first grade, hundreds of students, and dozens of teachers, she said into the microphone:
"My speech is over. Next, please invite Principal Yu to come to the stage and speak."
After Xue Yuantong finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She paused for a second and then corrected herself:
"It's Principal Yu, not Student Yu."
As soon as these words were spoken, the students in the square formation all looked strange.
Jiang Ning was helpless: "This idiot, it's better not to correct him."
After hearing this, Principal Yu was stunned at first. After all, he was the principal, and he always showed an open-minded and generous side in front of his students.
What's more, the person who said the wrong thing was Xue Yuantong, who was the top student in the school by chance and a potential top scholar in the future.
After Principal Yu took the microphone, he smiled nonchalantly:
"Okay, Xue Yuantong's explanation is very good. Let's learn from him."
"Next, please welcome the top ten students in this exam: Xue Yuantong, Du Chuan, Ding Shuyan, Jiang Ning... Lin Zida."
Geng Lu shouted, "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, the principal is calling you to receive the award."
Ma Shicheng next to him urged: "Jiang Ning, go quickly, don't let the principal wait anxiously." There was envy on his face.
Guo Kunnan said: "Jiang Ning, you are our back row's face."
"That's right, go up and receive the award for the top students in our class to see." Shan Kaiquan said.
"You are much better than the squad leader. You give our squad leader face!" said Wang Longlong.
Various friendly voices reached Jiang Ning's ears.
Jiang Ning smiled gently, he stood up, stretched out his slender body, and stood among the crowd. His classmates looked up at him slightly.
In two months, Jiang Ning grew from 165cm to 180cm, and was already the tallest in the class.
The gentle spiritual energy brushed against his slightly wrinkled clothes.
The afternoon sun was lazy, shining from far away, sprinkling on his clothes, and the golden light made him shine brightly.
Jiang Ning took a step forward in the sunshine, walked out of the class's formation, and then walked to the right.
Along the way were the formations of Class 7, Class 6, and Class 5. His pace was neither fast nor slow, as if he was strolling in the garden. Wherever he went, people's eyes were cast upon him.
Envy, surprise, jealousy, love, countless eyes gathered on him, but Jiang Ning ignored them and let the light and shadow accompany him forward.
Yang Sheng stared at the figure and suddenly spoke:
"Have you noticed that he looks quite handsome today?"
"Yeah." Bai Yuxia replied.
Shen Qing'e clenched her fists tightly, unable to loosen them for a long time.
Jiang Ning walked through one formation after another, climbed the stairs, and stepped onto the podium. Finally, he stopped and looked at the hundreds of classmates below.
Xue Yuantong grabbed the position and stood on his left, very close to him.
Geng Lu raised her head and looked at the two figures on the stage. Her eyes were dim and she murmured in a low voice:
"Suddenly I feel like I'm not worthy..."
