Chapter 48: Chapter 48: I’m Tired, Do Whatever You Want!
Shen Zhaozhao also found it a bit unbelievable that such motivational chicken soup could actually come from her own mouth.
She was no longer the Shen Zhaozhao of before!
Having spent time with the top-ranked students, she had become one of them.
“Alright, now I’ll announce the exam results. Compared to the last time, everyone has made some progress. Especially the members of Sheng Chuyi’s group, they made the most progress and won first place in this group competition.”
As Chen Shuo’s voice fell, Xia Miao excitedly hugged Shen Zhaozhao and said, “Zhaozhao, we got first place, we are number one.”
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of Sheng Chuyi’s group, and immediately a questioning voice arose:
“Teacher, could you have made a mistake? How could they possibly get first place, it must be the last place, right?” Zhou Junming stared in Xia Miao’s direction and said loudly.
“Exactly, their team has two people at the bottom of the rankings, even with Sheng Chuyi they couldn’t possibly be first.”
“However, I did see that their group has been working very hard lately, Sheng Chuyi seems to have been helping them go over problems every night…”
There was a buzz of discussion all around.
Chen Shuo rapped his desk, interrupting everyone, “This is their group’s exam papers, anyone who has an issue can come up and see for themselves. This time, their group had two perfect scores, and the others all scored above 90. Although their average score wasn’t very high last time, they truly are first this time.”
“Alright, next I’ll announce the scores of the other groups…”
As Chen Shuo’s voice fell, three more groups of students were picked up by their parents and taken home.
From the original forty-eight students, the classroom was left with only thirty.
“You just got lucky this time, I don’t believe you can stay after the next one,” Zhou Junming’s annoying voice was heard once more.
As the second-highest scoring group, they had also remained.
Xia Miao completely ignored the provocation. The other party was now a defeated opponent who wasn’t worth her attention.
She hugged Shen Zhaozhao, “Zhaozhao, you’re so amazing! You also scored a hundred this time!”
Shen Zhaozhao was less than enthusiastic, “Oh, can I go to sleep now?”
Being first in the group meant that she had to stay on.
This was truly a sad affair.
She needed to take a quick nap to cure her mood.
Xia Miao was still immersed in the excitement of being number one, her energy level soaring as if she was on a stimulant, “We’ve finally managed to stay, of course we need to keep working hard!”
Shen Zhaozhao felt like flipping the table.
“Zhaozhao, I know you don’t care about the competition, but since we’re here, I think we should study hard and strive to stay until the end.”
Of course, she hadn’t expected to represent the city in the competition either, but during this time, she really had learned a lot.
Whether or not she could participate in the competition was no longer important; she just wanted to stay until the end to learn more from the teacher and everyone else.
Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t understand this kind of ambition. She’d only been putting effort in with everyone because she didn’t want to see them get eliminated.
Oh, right, Lao Chen hadn’t announced the elimination rules for the third exam yet.
Soon enough, Chen Shuo came with his new set of rules.
“In one week, we will have the third exam. This time, it will be based on individual performance, and at the end of it, twenty students will be eliminated. Everyone, continue to work hard.”
“Oh, and,” he paused, then added, “those who scored a perfect score last time will advance directly.”
