Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 100

Almost every year, there were students who entered key classes because of this, but then could not adapt and returned to parallel classes. The school had experienced this.

Therefore, the minimum standard set by the school was based on one semester. If a student had good grades and wanted to enter a key class, they could go the next semester.

At that time, the two head teachers of the key class seemed to have discussed it. The class teacher of the first class smiled good-naturedly and said, “What if her parents want her to transfer to the key class?”

The class teacher of the second class followed behind, “After all, which student doesn’t want to be admitted to a key class?”

It made Teacher Wang, who originally wanted to show off, have doubts about his life. Even his original chic and carefree model steps were disrupted. He fled back to the office and drank several sips of his drink to calm down his shock.

The other teachers in the office, seeing Teacher Wang’s appearance as if recovering from a severe injury, all laughed at him, “Teacher Wang, where were you showing off again?”

“Needless to say, he must have gone to Class 1 and Class 2’s head teachers.” 

As senior colleagues, and they were all in the same group, these teachers all knew that Teacher Wang particularly liked to compare the quality of his class with the key classes.

In previous years, Teacher Wang only compared the English scores he taught with those of Class 1 and Class 2’s head teachers. It was the first time that he had someone whose overall score was in the top ten of the grade.

He couldn’t help but say, “The rule that all the top 120 students in grade enter the key class is too unfair. We have finally cultivated a good seedling in our own class, why give her to Class 1 and Class 2?”

When the teachers in the office heard what he said, they all knew what was going on and laughed again.

Teacher Wang said, “You are laughing now, but when you become the class teacher, you will cry when you face this.”

“So Teacher Wang, are you crying because Class 1 and Class 2 came to snatch the talent from your class?” Teacher Wang was angry. There was constant laughter in the office.

Teacher Wang held his drink and snorted, “I have nothing to say to you guys.” Then he quickly returned to class holding his cup.

He wanted to find some comfort from his students.

Sure enough, it was his students who were better. Seeing the students studying quietly in their seats, Teacher Wang was comforted. Until he saw Jiang Ning again, two kind and hypocritical words from the class teacher of the two key classes popped up in his mind. After all, students with good grades should want to enter a key class.

Alas, first he used to worry that the students’ grades were not improving, but now he had to worry if the students’ grades got too good.

Teacher Wang felt that it was really difficult for him.

Because No. 1 High School attached great importance to midterm exams, the midterm exams were arranged in separate exam rooms for each class. Students in each class did not take exams in their own class. Instead, they were all separated like a formal final exam.

That also gave students from other classes the opportunity to see Jiang Ning up close. 

People who were taller were so curious, even more curious than being the first in grade.

After all, the top grader was in their class, and they saw each other every day. Students in the parallel class were also surprised when they saw Jiang Ning. 

“She is Jiang Ning.”

“It’s her, she’s Jiang Ning who only sleeps for three hours every night. Our class teacher mentions her every day as an example that hard work pays off.”

“Our class teacher also gives us an example of her every day.” 

“Our class teacher also.”

Girls from Class 3 who thought they knew the truth smiled.

Jiang Ning didn’t care about the eyes of the people around her. She was holding a pen and scratch paper, writing and drawing on the paper. Others didn’t know what she was writing. They thought she was still studying questions before the exam, so they all knelt down.

Originally they didn’t believe the rumor and thought the teachers were exaggerating. But seeing Jiang Ning studying seriously before the exam, they suddenly believed what the teachers said about her sleeping three hours a day.

Some people who knew other students in Class 3 couldn’t help but come over and ask, “Does she usually work so hard in your class?”

The girls in Class 3 replied with a smile, “More than anything.”

Everyone who listened took a breath of air. If they had seen the Battle of the Sky, which was released more than ten years later, they might have shouted “It’s so scary” at the time.

It was a pity that they hadn’t seen it, so they could only look at Jiang Ning’s back with awe.

Jiang Ning was taking advantage of the gap before the exam to write detailed outlines for the next few cases and summarize the facts of the cases. Anyway, it was idle time. Only by smoothing out the detailed outlines would there be no glitches when writing later.

During the vacation after the midterm exam, she didn’t have time to write a manuscript, so she could only use the fragmented time to smooth out her ideas first.

After she left the examination room, many people spread the rumor that she didn’t even miss the scraps of time before the exam, seizing every minute and every second to memorize and answer questions.

The girls in Class 3 laughed when they heard that rumor.

After all, they knew that Jiang Ning was someone who subscribed to a magazine and read novels every week.

Early the next morning after the exam, Jiang Ning carried her luggage and took the minibus waiting at the school gate at 4:30 in the morning. She returned to Shuibu Town, took a tricycle to Tanshan, and then walked home through the ferry crossing to the mountain. It was already past nine o’clock.

Grandpa Jiang was not in the hut, probably on a mountain patrol. Jiang Ning looked for him in the usual mountain patrol route. While searching, she shouted, “Grandpa, where are you?”

The autumn wind was bleak, and the leaves on the trees were blown rustling down. The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, making it easy to slip.

She was a little worried about Grandpa Jiang, so she searched everywhere.

After searching for more than half an hour, Jiang Ning finally found Grandpa Jiang holding a shotgun at the border with the neighboring mountain. As soon as she saw Grandpa Jiang, she quickly ran over to help him, “Grandpa, the next composition competition is about to begin. It’s in Shanghai, please accompany me there immediately.”

“The competition is about to begin?”

“Yes, they can’t be held on our study days. It will delay students’ study, so they are held during holidays. This weekend, there happens to be a competition.”

Grandpa Jiang did not dare to delay his eldest granddaughter. Hearing it, he wanted to run back, “Hurry up.”
