Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Strong Weeds
"Bragging."
"Yeah, it’s just bragging."
"Do you think getting into college is that easy?"
"Why would I lie to you all?" Zhao Guangran looked at his classmates, all distrustful and accusing him of lying. He was getting anxious, naturally explaining non-stop.
But no matter how Zhao Guangran explained, not a single classmate present believed him, which made him really anxious.
"I don’t think Zhao Guangran has any reason to trick you, and we can’t possibly present the admission letter, after all, my uncle and the others are all going."
"But my uncle was the top scorer in the university entrance exam there." Gong Ruini took out a newspaper from her bag, "See, Cai Ming is my uncle."
"If you think my uncle can be the top scorer in the entrance exam, there’s no reason our parents wouldn’t score well, right?" Gong Ruini said if people still didn’t believe just like that, then she had no way.
The top scorer in the entrance exam even made it to the newspaper. Even if everyone doubted Zhao Guangran’s words, seeing the newspaper brought out by Gong Ruini and the report on it, they had to believe.
In their hearts, there’s no way someone would randomly claim such relatives, right?
"Wow, your uncle is the top scorer?"
"Yes, my uncle was the one tutoring us in class. He was our elementary school teacher before." Gong Ruini stated the reason why both she and Zhao Guangran had a lot of good grades.
"Wow, that’s impressive."
At first, Teacher Zhao wanted to explain a bit. She had heard Principal Zhuge mention it, but she didn’t expect this girl to handle it all by herself so neatly and with such clear logic, not simple at all.
Initially, she thought Zhao Guangran was quite articulate, but she didn’t expect this girl, who wasn’t very talkative, to manage the situation quietly, bringing stability when she spoke, a good candidate for a class leader.
But recalling the meaning of the two earlier, Teacher Zhao was also at a loss; they specifically mentioned they didn’t want to be class leaders. What could be done?
If they were ordinary kids, Teacher Zhao might force them a bit. With such good grades, how could they not serve their classmates? But with the connection of Principal Zhuge Ming and Dr. Zhuge Zhi, she couldn’t actually do it, unfortunately.
Zhao Guangran, noticing the attitude was no longer as intense as before, wiped the sweat off his brow heavily, "Thanks, Ni Zi."
"Why thank me, just don’t show off too much." In the heat of the moment, Zhao Guangran often didn’t manage things, and Gong Ruini hoped he could learn a lesson from this incident.
Show off? Zhao Guangran felt wronged, "Where did I show off? I was stating the facts."
True as it may be, do you know how few people nationwide get into college? Looking at the very wronged Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini could only say that sometimes this guy was a bit too careless.
Gong Ruini decided that such a worrisome brother should continue to trouble Zhao Xuran, anyway, there wouldn’t be a small number of headaches for him today, might as well let him go educate him.
"Don’t ignore me." Zhao Guangran wasn’t afraid of Gong Ruini, but his mind was clear now; he realized many issues, many violating his brother’s wishes. If his brother found out, would he let him go?
Zhao Guangran could imagine his big brother’s ugly face, so the best approach was to cheer up Gong Ruini, so if his brother really scolded him, there would be someone to speak on his behalf.
"Scared now?" Gong Ruini knew all about Zhao Guangran’s little schemes but why should she help? Could she cover for such a thing?
This is no small thing. Gong Ruini said she really couldn’t bear the consequences, "But I support you."
Face-to-face support was impossible, but she could silently support Zhao Guangran from behind, especially since toppling the so-called honors class was incredibly satisfying.
Gong Ruini really wanted to see Zhuge Mingshan’s face when her class was knocked off the podium, that would be very amusing.
Refusing to stand up for him, yet claiming to support him, Zhao Guangran said this was typical empty grandstanding, listening to it just seemed so false.
Giving Gong Ruini a contemptuous glance, "When did you become so pretentious, as pretentious as my dad."
Pretentious? When was she pretentious? And how did pretentiousness relate to Zhao Gang, "If your dad heard you say that, who knows how delighted he’d be."
"Don’t worry, in his eyes, only my brother and Ban Xia matter. I... am just a defective product." Zhao Guangran said his old man always got a headache seeing him, who grew up neither as sensible nor as well-behaved as his brothers.
Defective product? How could this guy think like that? This mindset was wrong, Gong Ruini thought she had to talk to Zhao Xuran. She couldn’t just watch this guy go down a dead end.
"Are you scared?" Seeing Gong Ruini’s shocked face, Zhao Guangran was delighted, "Don’t worry, I’m just a weed. I’ll strive to grow upwards; though I might grow crooked, I’ll work hard."
Weed, this guy really knew how to describe himself, but with his weed quality, it’s a bit lousy, "Yeah, become the sturdiest weed. Alright, kiddo, time for class."
Today, Zhao Guangran felt pretty good, although people kept coming to see what he looked like, scrutinizing him for a long time. Though slightly annoyed, as a famous person, he ought to be aware of being watched.
Zhao Guangran, maintaining his posture firmly, ignored whoever came to see him, his demeanor sparking discussions.
"I think there’s something to what he’s saying."
"What’s there? I think he’s just putting on a show."
"Isn’t he doing pretty well academically? I checked out their test papers; they’re harder than our final exams."
"You’re silly, he’s smart, but that doesn’t mean the entire class is smart. That’s an honors class!"
"I see this kid as someone seizing the spotlight, just wait to see him make a fool of himself."
"Considering himself a somebody? He hasn’t even weighed his caliber."
"People from the countryside are rather naive, huh?"
"Yeah, naive like a fool."
Amidst all the chatter from outside, Zhao Guangran became quite well-known, not only in the fourth grade but the whole school knew about this transfer student from the Northeast who stirred such a major event.
The spectacle made Gong Ruini annoyed as she watched the constant flow of people at the class doorway during break. Especially seeing so many people, she only saw money flowing away. If she could, she could have opened a bet on who’d win.
Just with the reputation of the honors class, there’d definitely be more people betting on them, then wouldn’t she, the banker, be the winner? But this money couldn’t be earned; she could only watch as this good betting opportunity bid her farewell.
