Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 160

The effect of active learning was completely different from passive learning in the past. Previously, Jiang Bai was beaten by his physics teacher. In fact, he was secretly opposed to learning. Additionally, he had always looked forward to going out to work after graduating from high school. For him, learning was just a necessary chore to avoid suffering, and he passively accepted the knowledge taught by the teachers.

It became different. He stretched out his neck happily and chased forward. Even physics, which he had originally been unwilling to learn, showed progress after he became willing to study.

When the physics teacher saw Jiang Bai’s test paper, his first reaction was that he had copied it.

His reaction was the same as when Jiang Bai had previously ranked first in the class.

But at that time, did he really think Jiang Bai had copied it? It was just that Jiang Bai, who had just entered high school, was like a vicious wolf, beating his nephew until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He hated such students very much.

So he suppressed him in his studies and deliberately belittled him in class. Even if he ranked first in the class in physics, the teacher would close his eyes and say that he had copied.

As a senior teacher, he knew very well how to suppress a student’s enthusiasm for learning and destroy a student. Once the enthusiasm for physics was gone, the student would choose liberal arts.

If Jiang Bai hadn’t genuinely been interested in science, he wouldn’t have chosen it.

Jiang Bai did not give up all subjects, only physics. He turned in blank papers in physics exams and only slept in physics classes. It was simply ridiculous to want to confront a teacher in that way.

On one hand, he achieved his goal, but on the other hand, he hated Jiang Bai even more.

No matter what the teacher said or how he treated a student, their bounden duty was to learn. No matter what happened, they had to study.

Sleeping in class and handing in a blank paper were things only gangsters did.

He also often used terms like “gangster” in class to mock Jiang Bai and Tong Jingang, who was his friend. In his physics class, Jiang Bai was always looked down upon. He even took the lead in cold-blooded violence and isolation of Jiang Bai. Teachers had great authority in the minds of students in that era. The physics teacher hated Jiang Bai so much that he made no secret of his dislike, which caused many students to fear being close to Jiang Bai.

With Jiang Bai’s fierceness in fighting, who would dare bully him?

Moreover, the management of No. 1 High School was very strict. Except for a few troublemakers in every school, most students focused on their studies and rarely meddled in other people’s business, at most just watching indifferently.

The physics teacher’s nephew didn’t dare either. He merely took the lead in isolating Jiang Bai, just like the physics teacher.

Was Jiang Bai afraid of isolation?

He was not good at interacting with others. Due to being raised as a girl when he was young, he always seemed to be separated from the people around him by a thin layer, immersed in his own world.

Until Tong Jingang forcefully entered his world, making the physics teacher’s nephew’s isolation seem like a joke.

Tong Jingang was a well-known extrovert. Everyone in the class could talk to him. He hung out with friends all day and went out to play basketball.

No matter how strong the learning atmosphere at No. 1 High School was, there was always a group of students who shared his interests and liked to play basketball, so Tong Jingang dragged Jiang Bai along with him.

Jiang Bai grew tall very quickly. When he first entered high school, he was less than 1.7 meters tall. In more than two years, he grew more than 10 centimeters and was now 1.81 meters tall. Jiang Bai also had good skills and sufficient endurance. With abundant physical strength, he became a key player in their group of basketball enthusiasts. Every weekend, King Kong, a local, would always lead them to play basketball with the students and teachers of Wuzhong, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 high schools.

Yes, some teachers also liked to play basketball and formed teams with students to play together.

The presence of these people did not make the physics teacher’s nephew’s isolation successful.

Jiang Bai was withdrawn and cold, silent and quiet when doing things, which made him seem indifferent. However, many years after they graduated, they still played with the people they had played with in Wucheng and occasionally met up to play together.

But at that moment, Jiang Bai was actually willing to take the initiative to study.

The physics teacher was also in a very complicated mood. He had seen Jiang Bai’s changes during that period. In fact, he disliked Jiang Bai. He wasn’t like an ideal student. He wore fancy clothes all day long. He really thought that No. 1 High School was his home, and he could wear whatever he wanted. However, the director of the Political and Education Department, who was in charge of school discipline and was always very strict, didn’t say anything about it. That made the physics teacher very uncomfortable.

The physics teacher felt that Jiang Bai, who had been dressed up like a peacock all day, was trying to attract schoolgirls. He should “kill the chickens to scare the monkeys” and eliminate this unhealthy trend; otherwise, the whole atmosphere would become impetuous. “Look how many boys are wearing fancy clothes today. None of them are focusing on studying. Like Jiang Bai, they are focused on dressing up. At a glance, those who don’t know would suddenly think there are dozens of Jiang Bai’s shadow clones in the school. The clothes they wear are exactly the same as his.”

“A boy who looks feminine not only doesn’t make himself simple but also changes into a new set of clothes every day and behaves in a seductive way. I have never seen a young man like him, who changes his clothes every day and dresses himself up.” The physics teacher felt that Jiang Bai was mentally abnormal.

He wanted to find traces of Jiang Bai’s cheating.

But soon, he realized that the test paper for that joint examination was composed of several school teachers who formed a physics group. Each physics teacher contributed some questions to form that physics test paper. The examination room was not at No. 1 High School but at Wuzhong.

The layout of the examination rooms in several schools for the joint examination was the same. All students’ books were put back into the dormitory, the desktops were clean, and all examination desks were carried like students. Even if a student wrote something on the desk, when the desk was turned around, it was hard to see clearly.

Moreover, No. 1 High School and Wuzhong were invigilators for each other. Once a student was caught cheating in an exam and was caught by the invigilator, it would definitely become a big event for the other school. They would not let such an opportunity pass to laugh at each other, whether it was a teacher from No. 1 High School or a teacher from Wuzhong.

Therefore, if Jiang Bai had cheated, it would have been impossible for the Wuzhong teachers who supervised the students of No. 1 High School not to discover it, not to report it, and not to revel in the opportunity to mock the teachers of No. 1 High School.

The absence of any such incident indicated that Jiang Bai had not cheated. He set his test paper aside and continued to review the results.
