Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 172

The person in charge of the construction site was one of the murderers who killed those people. More than a year had passed since the incident, and he had returned to his current arrogance from being cautious.

When he heard that someone wanted to come to work on their construction site, he looked at Public Security Wu and others. After looking at their appearance and behavior, he suspiciously asked them why they came out to look for work at the end of the year and didn’t go home to celebrate the New Year.

Mr. Wu, with his shoulders hunched over and carrying a snakeskin bag on his back, looked like an old farmer working hard in the city. He said, “To pay the school fees for my children. With this money, I can give them a few more kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year.” He was a little embarrassed. He rubbed his hands on the ground and moved the snakeskin bag on his back. “Boss, do you still want workers? We all have a lot of strength and we will definitely do a good job.”

There were workers who went home at the end of the year, so there was always a shortage of people on the construction site.

The person in charge looked at the other people. Among them, except for Xiao Chang, who was slightly younger and didn’t look that dark, the others were exposed to the weather all year round. Therefore, he didn’t discover anything.

“We are all from the same village, and this is my eldest nephew.” He pulled over Xiao Chang, who was the youngest among the group and didn’t have that kind of skin.

Originally, for such undercover work, it was best to have as few people as possible, but the murderer was too cruel. Several people were killed at will, without regard for human life at all. And it was in a place like a construction site, which was suitable for taking many people. At the same time, it was inconvenient to have fewer people, so several of them came together to find a job.

The person in charge turned sideways and made a motion with his chin to come in. “You are lucky to have come to my place. Not only do we pay ten yuan a day, but also food and accommodation are included. Let’s make an agreement first. You will have money if you do a good job. If you cheat on me, you will fall into my hands.”

The person in charge snorted.

Public Security Wu and others were so frightened that they shrank their necks and kept saying, “I don’t dare, I don’t dare. We will all do our jobs well.”

There were women who cooked on the construction site. It was said to be a shelter, and it was also a building that had been constructed on the site. Large cardboard boxes were spread on the ground, and a few more layers were laid out to serve as beds. The unbuilt house was ventilated from all sides, so the snakeskin bag filled with cement blocked the wind, but whether it would be cold at night was not within the scope of these people’s consideration.

He called someone, took them into the place where they lived to keep their things, and to take a look at what these people brought.

He was not worried about what these people would find. If there was something, it was buried in the ground with cement poured on it. No one would find it in ten or eight years.

It was so normal for a lot of people to go missing these days.

No. 1 High School had exams every week. After the joint exam, the school started weekly exams again in order to regain the students’ mental status as soon as possible.

The teachers also deliberately made the papers a little difficult because it was already the end of the semester and all the courses for that semester had been covered. When it came to the review stage, the teachers put all the content they had learned that semester into the weekly exam papers.

As soon as they got the test papers, the students, who had only been happy for a few days, fell into doubt one by one. As soon as the weekly test results came out, everyone fell into silence.

They didn’t dare to say that the paper was difficult because Jiang Ning’s performance was as good as ever. If they said the paper was difficult, what would the teachers say? Why could Jiang Ning do it but they couldn’t?

The corners of Teacher Wang’s lips that had been raised drooped down, and he looked at them with a stern look, “Happy, aren’t you? Look at your results in the exam.”

“Don’t think that you can relax after just a small entrance exam. There is no time to relax while studying.” When he scolded them, he looked at Jiang Ning and told her not to be proud. Jiang Ning’s expression was as calm as ever. After feeling a little satisfied, he turned his eyes and looked at the whole class, “What are you happy about? Are you happy that you got first place in the joint examination? Jiang Ning did well, but you all. Look at what you did in the exam this time.”

“Is the Joint Examination important? Is the Joint Examination the College Entrance Examination? This was just the first step in a long march. When it comes to the College Entrance Examination, once you have all been admitted to your ideal university, it will not be too late to celebrate then.”

After a series of words, the originally agitated hearts of the students in Class 3 were quickly calmed down. They all bowed their heads and listened obediently to the instructions. Only then was Teacher Wang satisfied and pointed to the bulletin board outside, “Do well, just like Jiang Ning, your name will be on the honor list outside for half a year.” He snorted and laughed. “You think it’s just your name on the honor list? Let me tell you, the midterm exam results and the final exam results are directly linked to scholarships.”

He looked at Jiang Ning and said, “If you want to get a scholarship, just a joint examination score is useless. The key is the final exam.”

He then looked at other students in the class and said,  “Don’t think that scholarships have nothing to do with you. There are places for scholarships in every parallel class.”

The students in Class 3 were stunned.

When they heard that parallel classes could also get scholarships, their ears perked up and they looked at Teacher Wang with piercing eyes, wanting him to talk more.

As for the scholarship quota, he only said that there was a quota for each parallel class.

All of a sudden, the students in the class were motivated to study, especially the top students in the class who did well in the exam, thinking that they might all get scholarships.

What Teacher Wang hadn’t said yet was that most students in parallel classes could get third-class scholarships.

First-class scholarships and second-class scholarships were basically awarded to two key classes.

But didn’t their class rank first in the county? Then they could think about a first-class scholarship.

Especially in the midterm exam, Jiang Ning ranked among the top ten in her grade. If she could perform as well as she did in the joint examination in the final exam, then she might get a first-class scholarship.

Thinking about it, Teacher Wang got excited. If this first-class scholarship were awarded to a student in their parallel class, it would be great fun. He could laugh at the class teachers of the two key classes for a whole year.
