Chapter 13 Back to School
As soon as she arrived at the school gate, Yang Xiao saw Tan Xue's pretty and charming figure. She seemed to be waiting for Yang Xiao to appear.
"Good morning, Tanxue!" Yang Xiao took the initiative to come forward and greet Tanxue.
"Ah! Yang Xiao is early!"
Tan Xue seemed to be a little surprised by Yang Xiao's appearance. She smiled in surprise first, and then her eyes suddenly turned red.
"What's wrong? Tanxue, are you okay?" Yang Xiao asked in surprise.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just thought you won't come to school again." Tan Xue hurriedly controlled her emotions.
"How could that be? I haven't graduated yet, so I must come to school." Yang Xiao said with a smile.
"The classmates in the class said that you were sleeping in the exam and were caught by a typical teacher from Donghai Shiwai... I thought you..."
"Hehe, there is indeed such a thing. I finished all the test questions at that time. I was so bored that I fell asleep..." Yang Xiao scratched his head and said a little disgustingly.
"Ha? You finished the test questions in advance? The questions this time are so difficult. I don't feel that time is enough, and you completed them in advance. Didn't you lie to me?"
Tanxue is also one of the top three students in the class, so she still has a say in the difficulty of the exam.
This exam was very difficult, so Tan Xue was so surprised when Yang Xiao said that he finished the papers in advance.
"Okay, believe me, I have resolved the misunderstanding with the teacher from Donghai Shiwai. There will be no problem. Let's go, go to the classroom, or you should be late."
Yang Xiao said that, then took Tan Xue's hand again and headed towards the classroom.
With the last experience, Tan Xue had already become much more natural. She let Yang Xiao pull her forward and felt a very pleasant sense of happiness in her heart.
Naturally, the two became the focus of campus again.
That morning, there was another person named Yang Xiao’s head teacher Hong Lan.
Due to traffic jams, Hong Lan came to school much later than usual, but in fact she was already late.
Hong Lan, who came out of the parking lot, ran into the teaching building and headed towards her office with high heels. Because she walked too fast, Hong Lan accidentally sprained her ankle and broke her heel.
"Oh, damn it. Why are you so unlucky today? Not only did you say that you were late, but you even twisted your feet."
Just as Hong Lan was grinning in pain, she suddenly heard a voice on the side saying, "Hey, isn't this Teacher Hong? Congratulations! This year's advanced people are probably not running away."
Hong Lan looked up and found that it was Teacher Lu, the head teacher of Class 2 and 3 of high school. Hong Lan thought the other party was talking sarcastically and mocked her for being late to work, so she naturally had no good expression on her face: "Oh, Teacher Lu, you are really good at speaking!"
After saying that, Hong Lan turned around and left, without giving Teacher Lu a chance to explain.
"Is this woman taking the wrong medicine? I kindly congratulated her, she even shook me the face..." Teacher Lu was also confused.
Before Hong Lan arrived at the office, she met several colleagues. They also greeted Hong Lan with a smile and said "congratulations".
Hong Lan finally realized something was wrong. She grabbed Lao Wang, a senior high school physics teacher who had just said hello to her and asked, "Teacher Wang, why do you want to congratulate me?"
Lao Wang said in surprise: "Teacher Hong, don't you know that the students in your class have won the first place in the joint examination of the three schools this time? Teacher Hong, you have given us Jiahao International a good face this time! Look at Donghai No. 1 Middle School, Donghai is really good, will you dare to underestimate our private schools in the future?"
"Teacher Wang, are you saying true? I haven't been to the office yet, so I don't know the news. Teacher Wang, is the student who won the first place Ma Shun or Tan Xue?" Hong Lan asked overjoyed.
"It's not Ma Shun, nor Tan Xue. It seems to be called... Yang... Yang Xiao, yes, it's called Yang Xiao..."
Before Lao Wang could finish his words, Hong Lan felt that his brain had stopped working. She even suspected that something was wrong with her ears, and her mood also plummeted.
"Teacher Hong...Teacher Hong..."
"ah?!"
Lao Wang shouted twice before Hong Lan realized.
Seeing that Hong Lan's face looked a little ugly, Old Wang asked quickly: "Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No... it's okay... I'm just too happy and a little bit unrecovered..." Hong Lan quickly explained to relieve her embarrassment.
"Hahaha, there are surprises waiting for you! Hehe, Yang Xiao is a student, very awesome. This time it has created the history since the founding of our Jiahao International School!" Lao Wang continued to smile.
"There are still surprises?" Hong Lan said in surprise.
"You go and check the red list yourself, and you will be happy for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's excellent teachers will be yours and you won't run away!" Lao Wang was really happy for Hong Lan.
Hong Lan stopped talking more, said a few humble words, and then trotted to the bulletin board of the office area of the second grade of high school. At this time, there were already many teachers here, paying attention to the grades of students in his class.
When they saw Hong Lan arrive, they all congratulated her with a smile. But Hong Lan couldn't be happy at all.
Hong Lan approached the bulletin board and saw the first line at first glance, which was written with Yang Xiao’s name, class and a string of numbers that made Hong Lan dazzled.
"Yang Xiao, Class 20, Grade 20, total score of 748, first place!"
"748? Oh my god, how is this possible! He must have cheated!" Hong Lan almost exclaimed.
You should know that the joint examination of the three schools is the same as the college entrance examination, with a total score of 750. This means that Yang Xiao only deducted two points in the four exams in total.
She wouldn't believe that Hong Lan would be beaten to death. This was Yang Xiao's own score. Or, to be more precise, she was unwilling to believe that it was true. If it were a few days ago, Hong Lan would naturally be very happy to accept the result and even apologize to Yang Xiao.
But this weekend, she just received 100,000 yuan from Li Zhanpeng's parents, and she had promised the Li family to spare no effort to drive Yang Xiao out of Jiahao International.
Who knew that Yang Xiao had turned into a phoenix and it had become an extremely difficult thing to drive him away.
But Hong Lan did not want to give up this task. You should know that the Li family gave a red envelope of 100,000 yuan.
Just when Hong Lan was in a complicated mood and her thoughts were chaotic, a teacher suddenly asked:
"Teacher Hong, I remember that Yang Xiao in your class has been decadent for a long time. How could he get such good results in this exam? How did you help him? Do you have any good experience to teach us?"
Another teacher also said: "It is indeed a very difficult thing to help students with family problems improve their grades. Teacher Hong, but he has come to the forefront of us. Teacher Hong, tell us quickly, how did you do it?"
"Yes, Teacher Hong, tell me... I remember that Yang Xiao has always been a problem student!"
As the saying goes, evil is born to the courage. After hearing these teachers’ questions, a vicious plan has already taken shape in Hong Lan’s heart.
Hong Lan suddenly said to her colleagues around her with a serious expression: "Don't rush to congratulate me, let alone ask me for advice. To be ashamed, on my way to work, I just received a report from a student saying that Yang Xiao had violated discipline during the joint examination of the three schools. I am investigating this matter. So don't take his grades seriously for the time being."
"Ah?! This is actually something like this! That's a bit serious. This is a joint examination of the three schools. It has a great impact on the reputation of our school." A teacher exclaimed.
There were many teachers present who taught class 20 of high school. Thinking of Yang Xiao’s usual performance, and looking at Yang Xiao’s achievements in this extraordinary achievement, all of a sudden, they all felt that this high score was very problematic.
"Yang Xiao, I'm not serious in class. It's the truth that he can get this score. I've always been a little unbelievable..."
Another teacher also said: "Some time ago, he missed a lot of classes for a long time. He missed a lot of the key content I talked about, and he could still do so well in the exam..."
Seeing that several teachers showed skepticism, Hong Lan struck while the iron was hot and said sternly.
"No matter how bad the impact is, we have to check it. Nowadays, education has passed the era of "results only". We have to look at the grades and the students' character. As the head teacher, I will definitely not tolerate evildoers!"
"Teacher Hong said it well, moral education is the most important part of our work!"
Many teachers can't understand why Hong Lan dismantled her own position. But she still admired her "courage and integrity" for her.
"Thank you for your approval. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Please rest assured that I will not allow any black sheep in my class, nor will I wrongly accuse any students. I will go out to deal with this matter first, and I will lose my companionship!" Hong Lan walked out of the crowd and headed towards the office.
Hong Lan sat on his work station and sent a text message to Ma Shun, asking him to come to see him at the pavilion by the playground after morning reading.
After the morning reading class, Ma Shun came to the pavilion on time, and Hong Lan was already waiting for him there. Hong Lan actually knew that because of Tan Xue, Ma Shun had never liked Yang Xiao, and this time when Yang Xiao slept in the examination room was revealed by Ma Shun.
"Teacher Hong, do you have something to ask me for?"
Ma Shun asked nervously because he had been performing well in school, and Hong Lan rarely talked to him alone. In addition, Ma Shun was very good at observing his expression and found that Hong Lan had a serious expression, and felt even more unsure. Thinking about whether he had made any mistakes.
"Ma Shun, come and sit down." Hong Lan waved his hand and called Ma Shun closer.
Ma Shun sat next to Hong Lan obediently. Hong Lan said, "Ma Shun, you have performed very well recently. This time, the three schools' joint examinations have also entered the top ten in the grade. I am going to give you the three good schools this semester."
Ma Shun was happy when she heard this: "Thank you, Teacher Hong, thank you, Teacher Hong, I will continue to perform well."
"Well, you have always been the teacher's favorite student. By the way, there is one thing that I want to ask you..." Hong Lan began to get to the point.
"Teacher, please speak."
"This time, are you in the same examination room with Yang Xiao? Did he do anything unusual in the examination?"
"Yang Xiao? Well, I'm in the same exam room as him. I remember that when he was taking Chinese exams on the first day, he fell asleep in the exam room. Then he was called out by the invigilator from Donghai Shiwei and did not come back until the exam ended." Ma Shun recalled.
"How long did he get called out?" Hong Lan continued to ask.
"About forty minutes after the exam started. I had just started to do classical Chinese reading questions."
Hong Lan was happy, as if she had discovered something. She had carefully read Yang Xiao’s transcript. Both Chinese and mathematics were full marks, and only English and science were deducted one point respectively.
If Yang Xiao was taken away forty minutes after the exam started, he should have only about half an hour to answer the exam.
In half an hour, for most students, they can’t even finish writing essays. So how did Yang Xiao get full marks in the Chinese language exam?
"Apart from that, is there anything wrong with him?" Hong Lan did not intend to let go of any details.
"Other abnormalities? It seems that there is no more... He should have done a very poor exam this time, right? I see that his draft paper is empty, without any trace of calculation..." Ma Shun replied with a frown.
Hong Lan was a little disappointed when she heard this, and she wanted to grasp more suspicious points. Just when Hong Lan wanted Ma Shun to go back, she suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly asked Ma Shun: "How do you know that his draft paper is empty?"
Chapter completed!
