Ye Jun looked at Jessica Girma with amusement in her eyes.
Thinking about how she would soon be the teacher of the top student in River City, she felt a sense of superiority.
In college, Jessica Girma had always been better than her. After graduation, Jessica became a homeroom teacher in a well-known high school, while Ye Jun could only enter a regular vocational school.
Although Ye Jun and Jessica Girma were good friends, fate seemed to always be on Jessica’s side.
Fortunately, everything has changed now.
Fortunately, she had come to the International School in time and met a talented student like Elizabeth Thompson. And fortunately, she had promptly expelled Viola Thompson.
Otherwise, Viola would have definitely been a burden!
Jessica Girma looked up and said, “Ye Jun, don’t worry. I never make empty promises. Once the College Entrance Examination results are released, and if Elizabeth Thompson from your class becomes the top scorer, I will give you my entire salary from last year! No regrets.”
Ye Jun nodded, “Alright.”
Anyway, the top scorer wouldn’t escape her, so she would just wait until the 25th when the results were announced.
By then, let’s see what excuses Jessica Girma could come up with!
Ye Jun added, “Our annual bonus should also be included in the salary.”
A high school teacher earns about seven to eight thousand per month, plus the year-end bonus, totaling nearly 120,000 yuan.
Now, she really gained both fame and fortune!
The more Ye Jun thought about it, the more excited she became.
“Alright,” Jessica Girma nodded.
Howard was their college classmate. Seeing that the situation was somewhat unfavorable for Jessica, he turned to Jessica Girma and whispered, “Jessica, why don’t you just stop betting with Ye Jun? We’re all classmates. Just take it as a joke! I think Elizabeth Thompson has a very good chance of being the top student in River City.”
They were all ordinary teachers, burdened with mortgages, caring for the elderly and raising children. Losing a year’s salary was no joke.
Jessica Girma smiled and said, “I know you’re looking out for me, but we must have a spirit of commitment. Since I made a bet with Ye Jun, I must honor it.”
Ye Jun overheard this, “Jessica, with your words, I can rest assured. I know that you’re not the kind of person who would go back on her word!”
“We are all witnesses!” Their friends in the private room, who loved to join in on the fun, said, “Ye Jun, when Jessica transfers the money to you, don’t forget to treat us to a meal!”
Someone else said, “The homeroom teacher of the top-scoring student should be interviewed by the TV station, right?”
“Do you even have to ask?”
“Then Ye Jun will be the celebrity of our class,” Esther came over with her phone, “Let’s take a group selfie while Ye Jun is still not famous.”
Ye Jun nodded her head.
Her heart was bursting with pride.
She had waited far too long for this moment.
She knew that the star of the show had always been Jessica Girma.
Now, at last, it was her turn to shine.
With this thought, Ye Jun glanced at Jessica Girma. If she were Jessica, she would find a crack in the ground to hide in, unable to face anyone any longer.
Elizabeth Thompson now had the demeanor of a top student.
Wherever she went, she had an air of superiority.
It was as if she had become the proud and lofty heiress of the Thompson Clan once more.
Reg Thompson was also extremely excited.
Because of Elizabeth, he had signed several contracts today, and his business was slowly picking up. Reg Thompson was enormously grateful for having such a great daughter. Facing the congratulations from others, Reg Thompson smiled and said, “Thank you, my Emma has always been hardworking.”
“Old Thompson, your daughter Emma is really impressive!”
“I heard that Emma scored full marks in her essay!”
Congratulations poured in continuously.
Olga, with a face full of joy, said to Emma, “You’ve worked hard these few days. Have some tonic to replenish your strength.”
Elizabeth took the bowl, “Thank you, Mom.”
“Emma, some of the others have been asking me about what kind of books you usually read and whether there are any tips for scoring full marks in your essay,” Olga said.
It wasn’t easy for the Thompson Clan to regain some of its previous glory. The wealthy ladies who used to be friends with Olga had cut contact with her. But now that they heard that Elizabeth might be the top scorer in River City, they all came back to congratulate her, asking Olga about Elizabeth’s extracurricular reading materials, hoping to give their own children some advice.
“It’s not just the essay that I scored full marks on.” Elizabeth took a sip of the tonic and looked at Olga.
“What else then?” Olga looked at Elizabeth, her eyes full of astonishment.
