142 Not Too Late
When Leon saw this, he reached out to the table next to him to get the test papers.
Frank put his two arms on the table, his face nervous. He didn’t want to lose face with that little score!
Leon’s hand had already touched the test paper. He just looked at Frank Quietly, and his gaze made Frank’s heart go numb. It was his test paper, but he didn’t dare to not let go.
Leon pulled out the test paper and flipped through it quickly. He sighed silently in his heart. Even if he had written blindly, he wouldn’t have gotten such a score.
Simon also took the test paper and looked at it. After a moment of silence, he put it back on the table.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t speak, Frank touched his nose and took the test paper back. Then he said with a smile, “My parents always say they’ll help me save up the family’s wealth. I don’t have to worry, even if I rank last in my exams, I’ll be rich. I’ll still treat you to a big meal.”
Leon glanced at Frank and saw the loneliness in his smile. “It’s not too late to learn now. You’re backing out so quickly?”
Simon was just thinking about which grade of elementary school Frank’s situation should start from. When he heard Leon’s words, he also chimed in, “”That’s right, as long as you’re willing to start, it’s never too late! Learning is a long term thing, and you need to have perseverance. You can start from the third grade. I still have my books, and the notes are very complete. I’ll give you a part of it tomorrow.”
Leon and Simon had similar thoughts. Frank’s level could only be improved from there.
Leon looked up at Frank and said seriously, “If you really want to learn, I can tell you some methods to make it easier for you to learn. But you must persist. If you give up once, don’t come to me for any problems in your studies in the future.”
Frank’s eyes sparkled and he nodded his head vigorously. “I will persist until the end!”
In fact, it was not that Frank did not study well from the beginning. When he was in the second grade of elementary school, he was the first in his class.
In Frank’s mind, it was easier for his parents to agree when a child was good.
Little Frank’s request was very simple. As long as he could make his parents set aside time to accompany him every weekend, it would be fine. However, after his parents stood him up again and again, little Frank knew that no matter how good he was, he couldn’t exchange for his parents ‘time. He began to change his strategy and give up on himself. He hoped that he could use such a mischievous way to make them feel that he had learned to be bad so that they could put more energy into his growth. Unfortunately, it was still useless.
Fighting, handing in blank papers for exams, and all kinds of provocative behavior were nothing more than scolding him over the phone when they got to his parents. Then, they would get their capable subordinates to solve the school’s problems and spend all kinds of money to sponsor the school’s construction.
It was because of him that 80% of the facilities in Frank’s previous school could be improved!
The reason why Frank transferred to another school this time was that the family of the person he beat up last time was richer than his family, so Frank’s parents could only use their connections.
In order to get into Tantorn, the famous high school, they also donated a large amount of experimental equipment to the school and promised to sponsor 10 scholarship spots for the school every year during Frank’s studies.
In fact, Frank had thought about studying hard several times in the middle of the class, but he felt sleepy the moment he picked up a book. His classmates who were close to him had similar academic results as him, and he did not like to deal with those self-proclaimed top students. This way, he had even less motivation.
It was purely an accident that he had come into contact with a top student like Leon and Simon after he transferred to another school.
The whole class knew that Leon was the top student in the whole grade before class started. No one expected the new transfer student to be so strong.
Most of the students at Tantorn public school were children from rich and powerful families, but because of the strong academic atmosphere, everyone had a strong admiration for those with good grades.
Everyone quietly turned to look at the back row and started discussing.
“Aren’t the back seats reserved for bad students?”
“That’s right. Since when did the top students have the hobby of sitting in the back row? When I saw the seats, I thought they would be dragging us down again. I didn’t expect two of the three transfer students to be in the top ten!”
“With these two transfer students, our class’s average score should be in the top three.”
