Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Causing Trouble Upon Arrival
Teacher Zhao was in an exceptionally good mood today. Even though Teacher Wu was not friendly towards her, it couldn’t dampen her jubilant spirits.
Especially seeing Teacher Wu’s elongated face, she knew for sure that Teacher Wu hadn’t gained any advantage in front of Gong Ruini and the others.
"Today, we have two new students in our class." Teacher Zhao gestured for Gong Ruini and the others to introduce themselves.
"Hello everyone, I’m Gong Ruini. I hope we can all improve and learn together," Gong Ruini clearly introduced herself.
"Hello everyone, I’m Zhao Guangran, I’m... Nizi, I mean, Gong Ruini’s brother. I hope we can all be good friends." Zhao Guangran originally wanted to show off a little more, but he accidentally blurted out Gong Ruini’s nickname, which scared him quite a bit, and as a result, he didn’t dare to say anything more.
Looking at the two little beans in front of the podium, the entire class was shocked. They had long heard that two new students would join their class.
Having transfer students wasn’t the main point; the main point was how they managed to make the key class’s Teacher Wu and their own homeroom teacher vie for them. Originally, everyone could just laugh it off, knowing that anyone with good grades in the entire school would want to enter a key class. But how come these two didn’t want to join the key class? It really piqued curiosity.
"Did you really get perfect scores on both tests?" Just as Gong Ruini and the others were about to return to their seats, a little boy blurted out.
"Yes." Gong Ruini was modest. In her view, they’d already taken the exam; was there any point in discussing it further?
But Zhao Guangran was not as reserved as Gong Ruini. To him, entering a new class meant he couldn’t be timid; he had to perform well. "Yeah, I even thought the exam content was pretty common for me."
Oh my goodness, Zhao Guangran’s candid response made all the classmates gasp in surprise. Did he just say the test was simple? Could it be that the exam papers they took were notably easy?
Everyone turned their gaze to Teacher Zhao, wondering if it was because the test was easy that they scored perfect marks.
"The test Gong Ruini and her classmates took was originally intended as your final exam paper, but we all agreed it was more challenging, so we replaced it with an easier set of papers," Teacher Zhao clarified for them in one sentence.
No way! A paper harder than last semester’s final exam, and they still scored perfect marks. That’s amazing! The way they looked at Gong Ruini and the others was full of admiration, and Zhao Guangran found such gazes very satisfying, thinking they should always look at him like that.
"Importantly, they completed two sets of papers in fifty minutes, including writing an essay," Teacher Zhao was delighted today. Getting full marks in the essay portion of a language exam was really not easy.
Once she said this, some people’s faces turned sour. With people like that in their class, weren’t they going to usurp their positions?
Several class officers became visibly uneasy. Although being a small officer is about serving everyone, telling others you’re the class monitor or study committee or subject representative gives you a significant sense of prestige.
Gong Ruini noticed several unfriendly looks and was briefly puzzled until she noticed the double or triple armbands on their sleeves and understood. They were worried about her taking their positions.
Come on, she never considered becoming a class officer. It’s a position that sounds good but offers no real benefits, purely serving the people, and Gong Ruini didn’t want to do it.
After all, she’d be very busy in the future, running her business after school, and wouldn’t have time to help students with poor grades improve their scores.
"We often have to write essays. Actually, doing well on essays is easy if you write a daily journal. Improve your diary writing, and composing essays becomes much easier in the future."
"The trick with math problems is to do plenty of exercises. Once you’ve done many, you’ll find that regardless of how the questions change, you can still grasp the patterns."
She just spaced out briefly, and when she came to, she heard Zhao Guangran beside her sharing some study tips. She wondered if the boy might be talking nonsense.
He couldn’t mislead students, especially with the homeroom teacher listening nearby. If teachers discussed this misinformation and used these misleading tips to educate kids, it would be disastrous. It’d lead to trouble.
Listening carefully for a moment, Gong Ruini breathed a sigh of relief as the content was quite accurate, though somewhat empty, essentially just a strategy of bombarding with problems.
Gong Ruini glanced at Teacher Zhao and noticed she was seriously listening to Zhao Guangran speak. Deep down, she knew nothing would change because of her prayers.
"Lastly, let’s all work hard and challenge the key class students. Even though we aren’t studying in the key class, does that make us inferior?"
"We want the key class students to know that we, the regular class students, can achieve good scores too," Zhao Guangran was enthusiastic.
Yeah, this was what he wanted. Compared to studying in the key class and becoming the key class leader, he preferred to motivate his peers here in the regular class and try to bring down those in the key class.
Oh my gosh, Gong Ruini was stunned. She knew Zhao Guangran wasn’t exactly the low-key type, but did he have to stir up so much trouble?
Not joining the key class already displeased Teacher Wu, and now this brother was here provoking his classmates to challenge the key class students. Wasn’t this going to provoke Teacher Wu to jump in anger?
Not only would Teacher Wu get mad, but it would also likely rile up the key class students, who cherished the feeling of superiority. It’s normal for someone to issue challenges.
The problem was that they just rejected the key class’s invitation. What if this really escalated?
Gong Ruini felt an unsettling panic in her heart, knowing that once Zhao Guangran got serious, he wasn’t kidding around. He’d definitely work hard to achieve his goals with this group of people.
He’d definitely make Zhao Xuran create more test papers and then share them. Sigh, she felt both heartache and fatigue, as if Zhao Xuran’s previous lessons to him had all gone to waste.
This kid not only didn’t take those lessons to heart but seemed eager to stir up more trouble.
For those suppressed by the key class, hearing Zhao Guangran’s words gave a boost of morale, even if it seemed a bit improbable. But with someone echoing it, the momentum was there.
"Work hard, work hard, work hard."
"Suppress the key class!"
Hearing these slogans, Gong Ruini almost regretted it. She should have kicked Zhao Guangran into the key class yesterday and let him stir things up over there. After all, Zhuge Mingshan was still there; let Zhao Guangran deal with her and stop this troublemaker from popping up every now and then.
