Qianxun looked at her, more excited than if she were the one competing, and said helplessly, "Aren’t I also a top student?"
"Hehe, are you afraid? Are you nervous? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there to cheer you on!" Lin Yuwei clenched her fists, pumping Qianxun up.
Seeing this, Qianxun smiled confidently and said, "What’s there to be afraid of? I think you care more about this than I do."
"Of course, I do, it’s going on TV! On the central channel, no less!" said Lin Yuwei.
Just thinking about talking about it made her feel incredibly proud!
Even though it wasn’t she who would be on the show.
Not long after Qianxun arrived in the classroom, Sun Ze entered with a big smile and looked towards Qianxun.
"Alright, everyone take your seats!"
"In the city’s recent mathematics competition, our classmate Su Qianxun was the only contestant to achieve a perfect score! Let’s give Su Qianxun a round of applause and congratulate her for winning first place!" Sun Ze led the applause.
In the next moment, the classroom erupted in vigorous clapping, and the eyes of the classmates looking at Qianxun held undisguised admiration and envy.
Su Qianxun was really amazing.
A true bigshot indeed.
At that moment, Sun Ze produced a red envelope and said, "To honor Su Qianxun’s achievements and the glory she has brought our school, we’ve decided to award her with five hundred yuan for each gold medal she’s earned. Su Qianxun, please come up and receive your award!"
Three first-place finishes, amounting to a total of one thousand five hundred yuan.
One thousand five hundred yuan was a huge sum for ordinary people, but to the students in Class F, it wasn’t much. Their New Year’s money alone was more than this amount.
Yet their eyes were still glued to the red envelope, their faces filled with envy.
Oh, if only they could receive such an award even just once. Then, they’d definitely frame the money and hang it on their wall, vowing never to spend it!
It was at this time that Qianxun stood up somewhat reluctantly to go to the podium and accept the award.
Couldn’t they just give it to her privately? Did it really have to be such a big spectacle?
Indeed, no matter how many years passed, the Chinese tradition of publicly commending and rewarding someone hadn’t changed one bit.
Fortunately, they got rid of the old practice of announcing it one by one. Otherwise, a declaration of "Hereby, Su Qianxun is awarded five hundred yuan for bringing honor to the school through winning competitions" would have been really awkward.
After the award was distributed, Sun Ze, looking very proud, continued, "Additionally, this week, Su Qianxun will be participating in the recording of the ’Poetry Conference’ on the central channel. Let’s wish her every success and a sweeping victory!"
The class immediately buzzed with excitement.
Qianxun, watching everyone’s excited expressions, couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
Qianxun, along with Ruan Mianmian, Xiao Tian, and others, arrived at the bus station. By then, Sun Ze was already waiting there.
When he saw Qianxun, his eyes lit up.
Sun Ze couldn’t help but blush a little when he saw the very soft and cute-looking Ruan Mianmian by Qianxun’s side.
"Su Qianxun, who are these people?" Sun Ze glanced at Ruan Mianmian and inquired of Qianxun.
Inside, he was screaming: Ahhh! This girl is just my type! So soft and adorable! Just like the little white rabbit I had as a kid, all white and tender!
Qianxun listened and introduced, "Oh, these are some neighbors from upstairs. They happen to have business in Yanjing City, so they’re traveling with us."
Thinking of Sun Ze as Qianxun’s homeroom teacher and that she would need to ask him for leave for filming in the future, Ruan Mianmian took the initiative to say, "Hello, my name is Ruan Mianmian!"
On hearing this, Sun Ze immediately trembled with excitement, and then quickly reached out a hand towards Ruan Mianmian, "Ah! Hello, I’m Sun Ze! Su Qianxun’s homeroom teacher."
Ruan Mianmian?! Her name even sounds lovely, and pairs well with Sun Ze!
