Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Adjusting Seats
By the time they arrived in the classroom, instead of the attractive English teacher, it was Sister Caiyun, the homeroom teacher.
They saw her holding a stack of test papers and saying, “Your English teacher had an emergency, so this period will be self-study. Class monitor, distribute the English test papers.”
“I’ve been teaching for many years, and I’ve never seen anyone score 8 points in English. Even if I randomly threw the test papers on the floor and stamped on them, I’d score more than that. The most outrageous part is that someone even turned a translation question into a matching exercise.”
“Hahaha…” A wave of laughter erupted from below.
“Zhou Huaiyu, she’s talking about you. With 115 points for multiple-choice questions, if you just picked one answer for all, you’d at least get twenty or thirty points. You perfectly avoided every correct answer.”
“Puhaha…” Another wave of laughter burst from below.
“The rest of you shouldn’t laugh either. At least he can inherit his family’s business if he doesn’t get into college. You’d only be left drinking the northwest wind if you went home. You’re already in your second year of high school, I hope you get your acts together and stop being in a haze.”
Shen Zhaozhao, hearing this, couldn’t help but look enviously in Zhou Huaiyu’s direction.
She too wished she could just coast along and continue with the family business.
But then she remembered that her family only had a tiny apartment under a hundred square meters, so no, she belonged to those who would only be drinking the northwest wind at home. Better keep striving!
Shen Zhaozhao soon received her own test paper, 98 points—not too high, not too low, barely a pass.
Yet it still fell drastically short of the Jing University goal someone had set for her.
The more she looked at her score, the more she thought that person was daydreaming. Even though he didn’t plan for her to take the conventional route, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but doubt it.
Could she really secure a nomination through the competition path?
After distributing the test papers, it was time to rearrange the seats.
“Teacher, I want to sit with the transfer student,” Zhou Huaiyu volunteered.
The homeroom teacher gave him an unimpressed look and said, “You had the worst English score this time. You should think about how to improve your grades instead of thinking about disrupting others.”
Zhou Huaiyu retorted indignantly, “Teacher, how can you say that? Although my grades are bad, I am not a bad person. The new student just transferred here and needs care and help. I think I’m quite suitable for that.”
“You’re not needed!” the homeroom teacher said unswayed, then turned to Shen Zhaozhao and said, “Jiang Nian’s scores are good, she made it into the top twenty this exam. You two sitting together could learn from each other.” However, that girl is quite aloof, and doesn’t have many friends in class. That’s why the seat next to her has been empty.
The homeroom teacher was also worried Shen Zhaozhao might not get along with her, which is why she suggested rearranging the seats after the exam. Still, deep down, she hoped the two would continue to sit together.
“So you’re that amazing, huh?” Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but turn to her deskmate.
The other girl bowed her head, her thick bangs hiding her facial expression, and said softly, “I guess so!”
Shen Zhaozhao then looked up and said, “Teacher, I think our current seats are pretty good, no need to change.”
“Then keep sitting there for now! If there are any issues later, we can rearrange,” the homeroom teacher said, nodding. “Oh yes, your uniform should have arrived by now, don’t forget to go to the general affairs office to pick it up later.”
Finally, she turned to Sheng Chuyi and said, “Class president, take her with you later.”
“Got it, Teacher,” Sheng Chuyi replied.
