“Li Chengqian, do you still have any pride? We’re students. If we have any conflicts, we usually resolve them internally. If you have the guts, don’t use the law to argue.” Liu Daqiang said fiercely.
“That’s right. We’re all classmates. How can we resort to legal means?”
“Moreover, isn’t it normal to play a prank in school?” A student who had been following Liu Daqiang said. There was a trace of panic in his eyes because he was the one who photoshopped Li Chengqian’s picture on Liu Daqiang’s instructions.
He even paid him some money.
If this became a police case, he would be in trouble too.
“Teacher Wang is here. Everyone, be quiet.” At this moment, someone shouted. Teacher Wang Jianjia walked over briskly and entered the classroom under everyone’s watchful eyes.
After Teacher Wang Jianjia entered the classroom, Liu Daqiang came to Li Chengqian’s side and said reluctantly, “Li Chengqian, why don’t we just let this matter go?”
“I apologize to you. I was wrong,” Liu Daqiang said without insincerely.
He felt his face burning, especially when so many students were looking at him.
He felt that apologizing to Li Chengqian now was admitting defeat. It was especially embarrassing and he felt humiliated.
He even felt that he couldn’t face anyone, that everyone was looking at him with disdain and mockery. He was now a joke in everyone’s eyes.
“Liu Daqiang, just you wait.” Li Chengqian would never accept such an insincere apology.
Liu Daqiang suffered a huge blow to his self-esteem.
He initially felt that Li Chengqian would know better than to reject his apology, and everyone would take a step back, and this matter would be resolved amicably.
But Li Chengqian was actually not letting this slip!
He rejected his goodwill.
He felt that everyone was mocking him.
In an instant, he felt a surge of rage in his heart.
Liu Daqiang clenched his fists and glared at Li Chengqian. His voice was low and threatening, “Li Chengqian, I’ve already apologized to you. Don’t go overboard! When push comes to shove, both parties will suffer.”
“Haha…” Li Chengqian sneered, not even bothering to look Liu Daqiang in the eye.
Liu Daqiang was furious and felt utterly humiliated.
“Li Chengqian, just you wait and see.” After Liu Daqiang said those harsh words, he didn’t dare to wait any longer. He ran straight to the classroom to pull his father out.
…
In the classroom, Wang Jianjia was giving her opening speech and also explaining some of the school’s relevant policies.
“Parents, the results for this second mock exam are automatically generated by the grading system.”
“The grading system will announce the results of the second provincial joint mock exam at 9 o’clock.”
“When the time comes, you can retrieve your results by entering your exam serial number.”
“I’ll also get a results sheet here. Besides the results, there will also be the ranking for students in this class, our school, and the entire province. Everyone, don’t be anxious…”
“We still have a few minutes to go. Let’s talk about the how the children have been recently…” Wang Jianjia then went on to on every student’s performance.
“…Jian Qingli is very smart and studious. Ever since her third year of high school, her grades have been improving…”
Huang Jingjing was all smiles when she heard this. She was overjoyed. Then, she whispered to Chen Li, “At our age, we no longer have any hope for ourselves. Our hopes are all on our children. If our children work hard, we will be proud. If our children don’t live up to expectations, we will only be embarrassed as parents…”
Before Huang Jingjing could finish speaking, Wang Jianjia was already talking about Li Chengqian.
“Li Chengqian has been very serious in class recently. He has improved a lot. Recently, when I asked him to answer questions in class, he was able to answer them…” Although in class, the questions she posed to Li Chengqian were all simple questions.
But as long as Li Chengqian could answer, it was a huge improvement.
Because in the past, Li Chengqian was not able to answer any of her questions.
“However, Student Li Chengqian’s foundation is a little weak. He still needs to work hard…”
Then, Wang Jianjia paused and glanced at Chen Li before continuing, “Everyone should have heard about the Progressive class…”
“If nothing unexpected happens, after Li Chengqian’s results are out, he will be assigned to the Progressive class. Parents, please be mentally prepared…” Actually, Wang Jianjia didn’t want to talk about this matter in the classroom, but the school had instructed her to do so! She would be held responsible if anything goes wrong because she omitted to do so.
Chen Li’s face fell.
Huang Jingjing revealed an exaggerated smile. “Chen Li, what a pity. The teachers said that your son has been studying very seriously recently and has improved a lot. Do you think he can still maintain this momentum after being assigned to the Progressive class?”
“Sigh, this policy, for your son…”
“My son did very well in this exam. He won’t be assigned to the Progressive class. I believe him…” Chen Li said in a low voice.
“Hehe…” Huang Jingjing laughed disdainfully.
“Although there are some things that are hard to accept, whether you accept it or not, the fact remains. Chen Li, there’s no need at all. The results will be out soon. What’s the use of saying this now?” Huang Jingjing’s voice was filled with pride as she looked at Chen Li smugly.
“Look, everyone’s looking at you!”
“If you still have the same attitude as before, you’ll really become a joke after the results are out.” The more Huang Jingjing spoke, the more smug she felt. To be honest, she came today to see Chen Li make a fool of herself.
“If I become a joke, so be it.”
At this moment, Wang Jianjia stopped talking and started to operate the computer to log in to the exam system. She projected the exam system onto the podium.
“It’s about time!”
“Let’s wait and see the results together.” Wang Jianjia was also looking forward to it.
Outside the classroom, by the windows and the door, the students held their breaths and quietly looked at the screen on the podium.
Everyone was waiting for the results to be released.
When the clock struck nine, the screen changed.
Lines of thick text appeared on the screen.
A results column, and a column on the results statistics automatically appeared on the big screen.
[Second Provincial Joint Mock Exam Results Overview]
[3 students who scored more than 700 marks, 2 students from Celestial Treasure First High School, and 1 student from Tianyi High School.]
“What’s going on?” Wang Jianjia almost thought that she had misread the results when she saw Tianyi High School’s name. When she confirmed that it was really Tianyi High School, she almost jumped.
Compared to the elite Heavenly Treasure First High School, Tianyi High School hadn’t produced a top student with more than 700 marks for several years.
“Why didn’t anyone mention it before? If our school has such an outstanding student, I should know about it! I know all the students in Grade 12 Class 1. There shouldn’t be anyone who has the ability.” Wang Jianjia was especially puzzled.
“Then who is this genius who scored more than 700 marks?”
While Wang Jianjia was full of doubts, the students of Tianyi High School were in an uproar.
“That’s awesome. Someone in our school actually scored more than 700 marks.”
“Do you know who this superhero is? He’s amazing!”
Most of the students had admiration in their eyes.
“So powerful. If only I knew such a genius,” Jian Qingli thought to herself.
“Who is this person? Why is he so awesome? 700 marks. He’s almost twice as good as me.” Liu Daqiang was extremely impressed.
“I will look up to him all my life. He scored more than 700 marks in such a difficult exam. He’s a star student!” Bi Jialiang looked at the score on the screen and felt despair and admiration at the same time.
“It’s Li Chengqian, it’s him!” Ding Ling had a smile on her face. She had seen Li Chengqian’s test papers and already had a gauge of Li Chengqian’s results in her heart.
“Who is this person? I wonder which family he’s from. He’s too amazing. If only my daughter was as amazing as him.” Huang Jingjing looked at the results. Her words were sour and her eyes were filled with envy.
“It’s my son! It’s definitely my son!” When Chen Li saw the results, she was relieved and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
