After school at noon, Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao made an appointment to go to the school cafeteria. After Jiang Hongshao paid the bill, the two of them sat down in the empty seats with two bowls of beef noodles. The voices of people and the sounds of spoons and bowls colliding mixed in the cafeteria hall. It was then that Cheng Ran noticed that many people in the cafeteria were looking at them. At the four long tables across the diagonal, Zhu Xu looked over while chatting with a group of friends.
The men and women around Zhu Xu seemed to be making eye contact with each other after the two entered the room. Some were smiling, some were making faces, and some were staring at the two without hesitation, while seeming to talk to Zhu Xu about something related to them.
Seeing the two of them eating together, Zhu Xu felt very uncomfortable, but at this moment he had to act as if nothing had happened. He was not sure whether the words he said to Jiang Hongshao when he stopped her and Cheng Ran that day had any effect on her...
He actually wanted to see Jiang Hongshao come to her senses, keep a distance from Cheng Ran, and then return to the state where he was chasing her, the two of them one in front and the other behind.
This legendary ranking that students talk about with great relish, even though he has always been one step behind her, he does not feel humiliated, and even enjoys it vaguely, even though she and Cheng Ran are keeping their distance not because of him, even though they will always maintain this ranking until the end of this career...
But... it seems like there's no going back.
Soon Zhu Xu was interrupted. Two girls came over from the aisle to greet him. One of them was from Class 8 and the other from Class 2. They were a lively couple. The girl with pigtails giggled and said, "Teacher Zhu... I heard from Lin Xinkai that his father treated your family to a meal at Baguo Buyi yesterday?"
Her good friend next to her said disdainfully, "Come on, his father invited us here just for Teacher Zhu, he wishes his Lin Xinkai would follow your example..."
Zhu Xu has excellent grades, and now Jiang Hongshao, who used to suppress him, has a lower grade. Among the students, there is a saying that "he has finally made it." Secondly, his knowledge is broader than that of ordinary students. He knows things that many people don't know, so he got the nickname "Teacher Zhu".
This nickname is even widely circulated among parents. When they learned that the top student in the grade had changed from the well-known Jiang Hongshao to Zhu Xu, they couldn't help but privately feel that the saying "boys have more stamina than girls after all" made more sense.
Liao Houming, vice president of the Student Union, looked at the table where Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran were sitting alone. He just looked at them without getting up and going over.
Although Jiang Hongshao was the president of the student union, the second year of high school was approaching the end of the semester, and next year would be the third year of high school, so the student union was basically in name only. The two of them had almost no intersection in the work of the student union, but they still had some friendship in normal times. But today, for some reason, Liao Houming had no intention of saying hello to Jiang Hongshao.
Normally she shines brightly, which is mostly a feeling brought by the honor she has. It's like when some people are surrounded by halos and are very popular, you feel honored to be able to talk to him or her and to know him or her.
But what if the opposite is true
If someone is at the center of a storm, seeing his halo disappear and his myth about to be shattered, and there is a black hole vacuum around him, will you be swept away by this atmosphere and stay away from him
Liao Houming couldn't explain why he felt strange.
It was as if he was watching Jiang Hongshao, who was usually so high and mighty, suddenly lose her glory one day and go downhill. The gray part of his heart... didn't want her to stand up again.
…
After having lunch with Lao Jiang, I came out. The library next door was built in the late 1980s. It has green glazed tiles and white ceramic tiles, and is surrounded by ivy. Looking from the road at the foot of the cafeteria, there are two large ginkgo trees. In the falling leaf season, the ground is covered with golden yellow, but now the branches are thick and green, and there is a slightly warm breeze in the air.
The two of them seemed to have not noticed the recent changes in the way many people looked at them and the atmosphere in the school, and walked into the library side by side.
They sat down in the seats they had reserved with their school bags before lunch, placed their school bags on the large square table, and pulled out a few exercise books from them.
In fact, Jiang Hongshao had already looked at Cheng Ran's test paper during the break, so what Cheng Ran said about working hard when he was not busy was not just talk. Doing exercises when he had nothing to do, reading the news and collecting information from magazines were also ways for Cheng Ran to change his brain.
Jiang Hongshao pulled out a notebook from her brown bag and analyzed, "General practice questions are probably not difficult for you. You may be able to practice them smoothly. Let's change our thinking. The main thing is to broaden your horizons. I have some questions in my notebook. Take a look and see how many solutions you can come up with. If you can't think of them or your ideas are better than mine, we can verify each other's ideas."
In fact, there was no mutual verification. After all, Cheng Ran was not a professional. In front of Jiang Hongshao, who had been the top student in the grade for a long time, the gap appeared. For example, "How many ways can you solve this inequality word problem?"
After Cheng Ran thought of two methods, Jiang Hongshao told him that there were four solutions, each using different thinking and knowledge points, listed one, two, three, and four.
The exercises in her notebook are basically such inductive questions. In the process of pursuing different solutions with Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran has experienced the expansion of thinking, the consolidation of weak knowledge points, and then the expansion of problem-solving thinking and solutions. Some things are universal, or I don’t know if Jiang Hongshao has the ability to explain and express ideas that allow you to see through ideas. In the process of solving these problems with Jiang Hongshao in various ways, Cheng Ran felt like he had opened a door, and had a wonderful feeling of "So this is how this girl thinks when she solves problems!"
When Cheng Ran told her about this feeling, Jiang Hongshao smiled and said, "In fact, you are also very capable. I just need to point out the right points. Some ideas don't even need to be explained from the beginning, and I don't even need to fill in the gaps for you."
She thought for a moment and said, "I made a detailed plan to do these things, and I invested so I got a return. It seems like you play, open a coffee shop, Internet cafe, and go to the stock market all day, how can your performance be so stable?"
There was a gap of more than 30 places between Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao, which meant a difference of 40 points. At first glance, this 40-point gap seemed huge, but it was the result of Cheng Ran not putting all his energy into the exam. However, little did he know that in the same score range, some people tried their best.
"You like to make plans, and I like to make plans. My plans are the time I use for study. As long as there is more than 20 minutes of fragmented time, I can use it to break through a knowledge point. After the breakthrough, I often do not continue to study in depth, but turn to other places, or start studying other subjects, or read a newspaper, a novel, or look at securities analysis charts. In short, I don't consume my enthusiasm too much on one unit. In this way, I can retain the excitement of a subject. People say that learning is addictive, and this is probably the reason for addiction. Only moderate learning can become addictive."
Cheng Ran said, "So my study has always been very efficient."
After his rebirth, Cheng Ran has almost consolidated his foundation very solidly, and this so-called consolidation process is not a process of rote memorization or forceful breakthrough. His experience of being a human being in two rebirths has not brought him the accumulation of knowledge in school, but has enabled him to understand how to mobilize his concentration on things and grasp the rhythm of learning. These are the weapons that rebirth has brought him.
If we have to say that Cheng Ran is superior to others, it is that having lived two lives, he has a deeper understanding of himself. He knows where his weaknesses are and how to stimulate and mobilize his enthusiasm.
It’s like when you are young, you always feel that books and textbooks are a burden, but after you become an adult and experience the hardships of society, you can’t wait to go back to the days of studying so that you can learn a few more skills and read a few more books while your body and mind are still free.
Human growth is when you realize that there are some things you can’t get and some things you can’t go back to, and you suddenly realize it.
"Great..." Jiang Hongshao clapped her hands together, "Then this will save us a lot of trouble, and we can make further progress."
Cheng Ran was stunned, "How can we go further?"
Jiang Hongshao smiled and said, "That is because I know the style of the teachers who set the questions for the final exam, and what aspects of the content they prefer based on their personal style."
Jiang Hongshao turned to the last few pages of her notebook. "For example, Mr. Zhao Zhonghua is a special-grade teacher, a member of the expert pool of the Ministry of Education's Examination Center, and a leader in the field of high school education in China. He has published many papers and articles in national journals. In recent years, he has participated in the question-setting group for the unified college entrance examination and competition physics. I have done his physics competition questions. In general, his question-setting style is very varied, and the ideas of related questions will not exceed 30% of the same. Therefore, the question-setting group will notify him every year when they set questions, and there will often be classic questions on the list. However, he will relax a little during the unified examination of No. 10 Middle School, and will make changes based on the questions he set last year. Then there will be traces for such questions. In addition, when the end of the semester is approaching, he will involuntarily reveal the focus of the questions when teaching... I have summarized it, you can take a look..."
Cheng Ran remained with his mouth open in astonishment for a long while.
While other top students were still working hard to improve themselves by doing exercises, how did Jiang Hongshao lead him in reviewing
They explored ideas and methods to solve classic problems and let their imaginations run wild.
Even Lao Jiang was not satisfied with this. He directly set his sights on the question setters of the national treasure-level special teachers in No. 10 Middle School. He analyzed the focus of these experts' questions and their ideas. When answering questions in his student career, almost every teacher would repeatedly emphasize that one must understand the meaning of the question before answering. The so-called meaning of the question means knowing the knowledge points and content that the question setter wants to test.
Jiang Hongshao simply summarized a set of big data based on the question-setting methods and rules that the teachers in the question-setting bank are good at, and then analyzed and drew conclusions.
This is a direct rise from the art to the Tao? !
Cheng Ran stared at Jiang Hongshao with a half-smile, "Does this count as super cheating?"
Jiang Hongshao smiled slightly, "It's not like I know the test paper in advance, I just know the direction of the final question, and a 60% chance is pretty good."
"That's pretty good, okay?" Cheng Ran looked at her and said, "You're really smart... and you really hold a grudge."
Jiang Hongshao looked at him with a smile and stuck out her tongue.
With Jiang Hongshao's ability, she certainly didn't need to go to the step of calculating the general direction of the questioner. The reason why she hurried over to Cheng Ran to review for the final exam together was probably because of what Zhu Xu said to her at that time.
Zhu Xu's words not only represent his own views, but probably also represent the views of many people.
Being with Cheng Ran, who is lagging behind in academic performance, means falling into depravity
Are The Return of the Condor Heroes destined to disappear from the world
Jiang Hongshao, who was called "Brother Jiang" for a reason, suddenly had an idea.
Why not let this world know...
It just won't fit.
…
After coming out of the library, it was almost time for afternoon classes. As a result, Vice Principal Zhang Shu and their Class 5 head teacher Sun Hui came out of the administrative office in the adjacent building after a meeting.
The two of them ran into them head-on.
Zhang Shu felt dizzy when he saw the two of them, but a thought flashed through his mind: "Good opportunity!" He looked at Sun Hui with a calm expression, but in fact, he had conveyed the idea that both of them knew.
When Zhang Shu came to see Sun Hui today, he emphasized that he should beat Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao, who were very close to him. Regardless of whether they actually had that kind of relationship or not, they should be beaten mercilessly.
Well, Sun Hui, you gave me a good verbal speech today. Now that we have met each other, why not make use of it
Zhang Shu was already prepared to provide support. As soon as Sun Hui started to attack, he would put on a stern face and use the intimidation of the vice-president to preach some moral principles.
At this time, Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao waved to the two of them, "Hello, Teacher Sun, Hello, Principal Zhang!"
As expected, Sun Hui stopped and asked with a straight face, "Where have you been?"
Cheng Ran pointed to the library behind him and said, "Reading books and doing homework in there. Isn't the final exam coming up soon?"
Excuse! Zhang Shu glanced at the couples in the library, thinking that everyone knows that this secluded place with seats is the favorite place for young people to hang out. He couldn't hold it in anymore and frowned, "You also know that the end of the semester is coming..."
Zhang Shu was about to hit him hard, but Sun Hui took over the conversation directly, "It's good to promote each other and make up for each other's strengths and weaknesses. Then work hard. Get good grades in the final exam and have a good summer vacation."
Zhang Shu's face, which was clearly almost wrinkled, was frozen with wrinkles as if engraved. He watched helplessly as Sun Hui let the two young men go.
He put his hands behind his back and waited until the two of them turned around the garden and disappeared. Then he frowned and looked at Sun Hui in confusion, "You're just knocking like that?"
Sun Hui said, "Do you think they don't understand what we were going to do just now? You were also present when Cheng Ran and Sun Xiao were debating, right? So you think you can win the argument?"
Zhang Shu was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. The key point was that Jiang Hongshao was beside him, so he couldn't say anything harsh to her face. He frowned and said, "So that's it?"
Sun Hui nodded, "That's it."
Zhang Shu was annoyed. "So you don't want to be the head teacher anymore? If Jiang Hongshao in your class fails the final exam, I can tell you that Old Man Wang will definitely punish you. You have to give an explanation to the higher-ups!"
"Do you think I want to be the head teacher? To do this, I earn less than others in class fees. It's hard work, and I have to offend people if I schedule classes incorrectly!" Sun Hui stretched his neck, "Of course I believe that the work of the grade group under my leadership is progressing well. If you let me do it, I will do it. If you really don't let me do it... then forget it! It's thankless work, whoever wants to do it can do it!"
"I have taught so many students. Many of them graduated from college, started families and came back to see me. I always come to the same conclusion: those with good grades may not end up doing better than those with poor grades, especially for some students who are destined not to be ordinary people... Don't deny it, you and I both know this."
Sun Hui looked in the direction of the two people.
"It's like they... I think life is more important."
…
Recently, Cheng Ran has been doing this kind of thing, using his free time every day to do exercises and practice questions with Jiang Hongshao in the library.
There is thick ivy outside the No. 10 Middle School Library. Even when the sun is at its brightest, the light may not be able to illuminate the inside.
But it was at this time when a little light came through the dark room, and the girl beside him was flipping through a book with a faint smile on her face, that Cheng Ran felt that the end of his second year of high school was not so exciting and spectacular, but fulfilling and enjoyable.
Boss Ma came to Chengdu to sign the investment agreement. After the details between the two parties were settled and Tianxing Holdings officially held shares in Boss Ma, the end of the semester at No. 10 Middle School, the end of the second year of high school, arrived unknowingly.
Great chapter, where are the tickets~ Thank you sir.
