Chapter 58 Something's Wrong, There's a Problem
In high school, in order not to delay the progress of studies.
Therefore, exams organized by the grade level itself are usually completed quickly, and the scores are graded out quickly as well.
For example, it's only Tuesday today, and the exam was just finished yesterday, but the results are already out today.
Morning reading time, Academic Affairs Office.
Lu Zhaoye sat with his legs crossed in Lao Gao's seat, holding Lao Zhang's goji berry tea in his hand, sipping it slowly.
"How was it? I told you the math score was right, didn't I? 90, no more, no less."
Old Zhang, Old Gao, and the other two grade directors were carefully looking at Lu Zhaoye's test paper at the table in front of him.
Teacher Wu arrived very early today and was sitting in front of a computer checking the surveillance footage.
"I don't understand English, so I don't know how many points you gave my essay, but I guess it was around 95."
Lu Zhaoye slowly uttered another sentence, which startled the teachers who were looking at the exam papers.
But after the initial shock comes the pleasant surprise.
"Physics...60."
"Chemistry...60."
"Biology...60."
Old Wu sat in front of the monitor, his heart pounding with each announcement of Lu Zhaoye's score.
"Lu Zhaoye, did you already know you'd get such a high score?"
Lu Zhaoye chuckled slyly, put down his tea, and waved his hand.
"Alas, just a stroke of luck, nothing more."
Zhang Jianhua and the others looked at their test papers and found that, apart from failing Chinese, they only scored 73 points.
However, he passed all the other subjects, and most importantly, he passed all of them by just above the passing mark.
"You...you brat, I think you planned this all along, didn't you?"
Lu Zhaoye said innocently,
"No, I just failed Chinese, didn't I?"
Do you know what the average math score was for the entire grade in this exam?
Lu Zhaoye shook his head. He really didn't know, but judging from Luo Xiao's usual grades, her average score must be around 90.
"75".
Lu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment. "Damn, is the sect this weak now?"
"I'm going to take the college entrance exam!"
Lu Zhaoye said something subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Lao Gao was initially confused and stunned, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"You mean, you can get even higher?"
Lu Zhaoye also realized what was happening, quickly waved his hand, and said with a smile,
"I already said it was just luck, Lao Gao. I didn't know the other questions either."
However, Zhang Jianhua slammed his hand on the table and said to Lu Zhaoye,
"Tell me, what are your terms?"
Lu Zhaoye smiled slightly. How could someone who could sit in the position of grade director be anything special?
He came early in the morning to reveal his score, so he obviously had something to ask for.
"I think I should be able to get into the advanced class, right?"
"Can."
"Then Xu Qingwan came with me too."
A sly glint flashed in Zhang Jianhua's eyes. He already knew that Xu Qingwan had gone home with Lu Zhaoye last night.
He believed in Lu Zhaoye's character, based on the fact that he could still listen to his mother.
Although Lu Zhaoye had a bad reputation in the past, he hadn't actually done anything heinous.
He's a bit mischievous and a bit careless, but his basic values are still correct.
Otherwise, why would so many teachers in the second year of high school not dislike him at all, but only feel sorry for him?
Ultimately, it's because everyone thinks this child is actually a good child, just too rebellious.
Many students have a misconception about being a teacher: is a student's grade really the reason for a teacher's favoritism?
Actually not.
Teachers truly favor those children who possess good manners and character; they believe such children are worthy of education and guidance.
Good grades may be the smallest advantage of a good student, while poor grades may be the biggest disadvantage of a bad student.
What chills teachers the most is that they give their all and impart all their knowledge, but you still haven't learned to respect me.
Take, for example, the time when Lu Zhaoye rebelled in his first year of high school and wanted to become the King of Guanzhong. Lu Zhaoye was jumping around in the classroom, laughing and joking.
Upon seeing Lao Gao, their first reaction wasn't to curse or condemn him, but rather to speak very obediently to him.
"General Xiang, since you've arrived, I have no choice but to temporarily perish."
On another occasion, Lu Zhaoye ran into Zhang Jianhua with his son outside of school.
His first reaction was to put on his clothes and cover up the small sticker on his arm, even though he had bought a sausage and handed it to Zhang Jijianhua's son.
So, it's not really possible to say that Zhang Jianhua and the others would truly hate this child.
Because they didn't see anything bad in Lu Zhaoye, just some childishness.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jianhua chuckled, then said to the unserious Lu Zhaoye,
"Besides this, do you have any other requests?"
Lu Zhaoye thought for a moment,
That's all for now. I'll let you know when I've thought it through.
Everyone laughed, their eyes full of smiles as they looked at the child.
"Okay, I agree, but you have to agree to one request of mine."
Lu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, not expecting things to go so smoothly.
It's not a refund; it's a scam!
"You go first, Lao Zhang."
Zhang Jianhua gave a wicked smile, then slowly said,
"This math exam was really difficult. Do you know why?"
"The math competition is in two weeks, so this test was designed strictly according to the competition standards. Only about twenty students in the entire grade scored over ninety points."
"I hope you can participate."
Lu Zhaoye felt like he was being led by the nose, so he quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, I really just got lucky. Old Zhang, don't pin your hopes on me."
Zhang Jianhua smiled, offered no further advice, and instead wisely withdrew from the limelight.
"Alright, let's talk about it later. We still need to test and select participants for the competition."
"Alright, you can go ahead now. You can switch classes with Xu Qingwan this afternoon."
Lu Zhaoye's brows were furrowed; there must be a problem, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it at the moment.
He didn't think much of it. Anyway, these teachers wouldn't do anything to him. At most... they'd tie him up and take him to the competition exam room.
"Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Zhang. I'll be going now, hahaha."
Old Gao shook his head as he watched Lu Zhaoye run off laughing.
"That brat."
Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"But this kid finally learned his lesson. See what I told you, Old Zhang? This kid is very bright, isn't he?"
Old Zhang smiled and shook his head; his wrinkles, clustered together, made his eyes appear exceptionally bright.
"In the end, we still have to thank Xu Qingwan. If it weren't for this child, Lu Zhaoye would probably have gone astray."
Old Gao nodded as well.
"Xu Qingwan is a gifted child, but she's just going in the wrong direction."
"Let her be with Lu Zhaoye, a monster with exceptional talent; the two of them would complement each other perfectly."
Everyone laughed, revealing their true colors.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, what are your thoughts on the competition?"
Zhang Jianhua smiled and sat back down in his seat.
"Have you forgotten the relationship between Xu Ziqing and Lu Zhaoye? Every time we give money to Xu Ziqing's mother, she refuses it, but her eyes still need to be treated."
Everyone nodded, their smiles fading as they thought of the child.
"Do you intend to use Lu Zhaoye to give money to Xu Ziqing?"
Zhang Jianhua picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a smile curved his lips.
