When Tan Qingchuan opened the confidential test paper in public, asked the first row of students in each group to pass it in turn, and repeated the test discipline, he actually looked at the students in the class with eager eyes.
Of course, his eyes fell on Li Deli, Zheng Qiuying and other people in the class who had been "selected" by him as the top few.
Facing these students, Tan Qingchuan nodded gently. Li Deli nodded to him, and some people were immediately touched and gritted their teeth, probably secretly determined to do well in the exam.
Now, it's time to test how well this unit can fight.
Li Deli got the test paper, and he could feel that many people were looking at him. As the top student in the class since he entered school, he was the most qualified to compete for the grade ranking. He usually endured all kinds of attention, and it became natural for him to be paid more attention. He knew that among those people were Zheng Qiuying, Li Yachao, and Zhang Feng, who were usually the top students in the class and regarded him as a peak and opponent.
There are also students with mediocre or average grades. Some of them subconsciously look for a coordinate during the exam to see how they did.
Some of them were there simply because he was sitting in the first row and could be easily seen.
He was used to being number one, it was as natural as breathing.
No matter how you are ranked before, the traces of your junior high school entrance examination will always be at work. Even if you rank high in the class, it does not mean that anyone will recognize you as the boss.
And this midterm exam is the time when we really get serious.
So this time... he wants to take first place legitimately.
Many people got their test papers one after another. Yang Xia got hers first. When Tan Qingchuan reminded her that it was time to mark the papers and she had two minutes to finish the paper, she quickly turned the page and jumped to the essay topic at the back. The essay topic was "Hello, Future!"
After she had a clear idea in mind and began to think about it, Yang Xia turned the test paper. She was very calm now, and then she turned her head slightly and saw Cheng Ran in the third row of the four vertical groups on the left.
Looking from this angle, one can only see Cheng Ran's profile.
Then, Yang Xia also saw Yao Beibei on the other side at the same time.
She was a little worried that her look at Cheng Ran might be misunderstood by Yao Beibei.
But then she saw Yao Beibei pointed at Cheng Ran, then stretched out her right hand as if she was holding a knife, and made a frivolous gesture of wiping it across his neck.
Yang Xia smiled slightly and turned around.
Many of the friends in the compound who grew up with me were not convinced.
Cheng Ran's score in the high school entrance exam was... 706. Her score was 695, but later... Yang Xia had estimated her score herself. She was careless in many places. If she was more careful in those places, she could get her score back.
Cheng Ran was able to suddenly explode at the end, surprising everyone, and getting such a high score, making a comeback that caught everyone off guard. If we have to find an explanation for this, it's probably that the high school entrance exam is not that difficult, and as long as you work hard, you can catch up...
However, this is high school.
In the first two months of study, you have actually entered the state and rhythm of high school. This is the time to truly demonstrate your academic ability.
During the high school entrance examination, she failed to rank first among all the students in the academy. In fact, deep down, she felt a little bit dissatisfied.
The difference between me and Cheng Ran in the high school entrance exam was only eleven points. I could catch up.
So before the midterm exam, she studied hard every day and she was very serious this time.
Because she couldn't accept the fact that she was surpassed by Cheng Ran. She had always been better than him, and she had to continue to be better than him.
These are also what Yao Beibei and others are looking forward to. Even before the midterm exam, they all talked about asking Yang Xia to do well in the exam, to be super excited during the process, and to regain face.
Maybe they don't necessarily have to defeat Cheng Ran, but deep down, they just want to return to the ecosystem where everyone was ranked according to their academic performance in the compound.
The bell rang.
The exam begins.
Yang Xia saw Cheng Ran lowering his head.
Turning back, a smile as pure as a lotus blossomed on her face. She unscrewed the pen and started writing.
…
…
In every classroom on the three-story teaching building, there can be heard the rustling sound of students writing and doing exercises.
The mid-term exam order teachers from the teaching and research group patrolled the entire building wearing red armbands. From time to time, they appeared at the door and entered the classroom. They nodded to the invigilators with a stern face, and then paced between the groups of students to supervise the examination situation. These teachers were all from the teaching and research groups organized by the second and third year high schools, and could ensure order and fairness to the greatest extent.
There are more than fifty teachers in the entire first-year high school group, and there are two invigilators assigned to each class. In fact, there are still some teachers in the grade group office waiting to take their turns for the next exam.
During this gap, the discussion surrounding the midterm exam had actually already begun.
What most teachers talk about is predicting how many points their students can get in the exam.
The first exam was Chinese, and after that there was a math class in the morning. Qin Xizhen was the invigilator for the math class. At this time, she sat sideways at her desk, listening to the discussions of teachers of various subjects in the office.
Someone wanted to strike up a conversation with the beautiful new music teacher, so he asked, "Teacher Qin, which classes do you teach?"
Qin Xizhen smiled and replied, "Four classes, Class 7, Class 9, Class 11 and Class 12."
Most subject teachers teach two classes at a time, and only non-professional main subject teachers like Qin Xizhen may teach more than one class. Of course, music classes are not included in the college entrance examination, and there are no exams on weekdays, so it is relatively easy to teach. Only students who want to pursue an artistic path will specialize in this area.
"Oh, that's just right. I'm the Chinese teacher of Class 4 and Class 9. There are a few students in Class 9 that left a deep impression on me... Li Deli, Zheng Qiuying... and Zhang Feng, who has good grades and is the class monitor, and Li Yachao, our Chinese representative..." Chinese teacher Fan Zhengwei said, "The first subject is Chinese, so it depends on how they do on the test..."
Hearing about Class 9, Qin Xizhen pricked up his ears and asked with a smile, "There is a student in Class 9 named Cheng Ran, right? How are his grades? I think he has a talent for music."
The Chinese teacher Fan Zhengwei thought for a moment and said, "Cheng Ran, I have some impression of him... He doesn't really listen in class... Hey, Teacher Xiao Qin, are you looking for an art student to learn music with you?"
"I know Cheng Ran. His grades in the class are pretty good, right? He should be in the top 20, right?"
Zheng Xicheng, the physics teacher who also teaches Class 9, spoke up, but it was obvious that this was just a short conversation. He changed the subject again, "Lao Fan, are you sure you can get a few high scores in your class this time?"
"There are definitely some with high scores, but it's hard to say what their ranking in the grade will be..." Fan Zhengwei frowned, "There are nine Chinese teachers in the grade, and each class has its own peak in the distribution of top students. The competition is fierce... I think there may be two students in Class 9 who can excel in Chinese, one is Li Deli and the other is Li Yachao."
"I've heard of this student named Li Deli... Class 9 was going to elect him as the monitor, but he refused, saying that he only wanted to study. Of course, Tan Qingchuan didn't treat him badly and gave him the position of the secretary of the Youth League branch."
Some students with good grades are naturally respected in the class. Adding an official title at this time can, on the one hand, urge students to be better, and on the other hand, make it easier for teachers to manage students.
Immediately, some teachers began to comment on the outstanding students in their respective classes.
An English teacher said, "I am optimistic about Zhang Yuhan from Class 6... I think this girl is very likely to be the first in English this time. One of her parents is a college professor and the other is an engineer. They both speak English and have been exposed to it since childhood. When she was in junior high school, she represented Dude Middle School in an English speech contest in the province. Students with good habits are different. They are among the top students in high school. As long as she performs normally this time, she will definitely be the first in English..."
"Speaking of which, Teacher Qin... Zhang Keqi from Class 12 in your class is a top physics student. He has participated in science and technology competitions before, and he is good at physics and chemistry. I think he will definitely be the first in these two subjects!"
The subject teachers gathered in the office expressed their opinions. At this time, a thin-faced male teacher who had been sitting next to someone with a cigarette in between his legs crossed shook his head with an expression that said "You are all too young" and made an unpleasant sneering sound from his mouth, similar to when a bellows is leaking air.
Qin Xizhen looked over and frowned slightly. She didn't like this male teacher named Yi Xiong. The main reason was that Yi Xiong had a bad temper and was mean. He had a lot of methods to discipline students, which made the students in his class a little afraid of him. With this method, the grades of his class were good, so he was a very annoying but prestigious person among the teachers. He usually liked to use his power to bully new teachers. Qin Xizhen was a female teacher, so he didn't offend her. It was just that Qin Xizhen couldn't stand his attitude towards some young male teachers. Sometimes he had a condescending attitude of "I know more than you, and I have more experience than you."
At this time, after his crow-like laughter, everyone stopped talking and looked at him. Yi Xiong stared at Qin Xizhen without any hesitation, but his words were directed to the whole audience, "Teacher Li, you are optimistic about Zhang Yuhan, and Teacher Liang Wenyi, you mentioned that Zhang Keqi is the top scorer in both physics and chemistry. It's too early to say that they may be the top scorers in a single subject in the midterm!"
He had a half-smile on his face, and his expression was three-quarters of what he said and seven-quarters of what he meant, which really made people want to punch him in the nose.
But his words were so sensational that people couldn't help but want to listen to him continue.
Yi Xiong was calm and collected. He twisted the cigarette holder into his mouth, took a puff, and slowly exhaled along with the smoke. "In the two months I've observed the entire first grade, you all talked about Zhang Fei from Class 2, Li Deli from Class 9, Zhang Yuhan, Zhang Keqi... but no one had the foresight to see Song Shiqiu from Class 7."
