Chapter 53: Who is the Top Student?
These two bosses' sudden appearance completely overturned the seemingly settled situation, and Zhou Keren, watching from the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She was different from Guan Shimeng; she had no idea Xu Fan had such a trump card up his sleeve, and just moments ago, she was seriously sweating bullets for Xu Fan!
Seeing Xu Fan look her way now, she couldn't help but blush and involuntarily glared at him!
Hmph! I was just concerned about a student, that's all! Don't get any funny ideas!
Zhou Keren's tsundere demeanor almost made Xu Fan want to laugh; this girl really knew how to put on a tough front.
By this point, he had also figured out that the major shareholders at the board meeting were probably called in by Sister Lan to help him out.
Even if she hadn't called them, Guan Shimeng would have been more than capable of handling this trouble for him, but Xu Fan made a mental note to remember that he owed her a favor.
Looking back, he saw Chen Dongdong, Guan Shimeng, and Zhao Yan all winking and making faces at him, relieved that he had dodged this bullet.
Xu Fan smiled and gave them a look, then turned his attention to Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren.
Those two guys might as well have had the word "annoyed" written across their faces!
They had thought Xu Fan and Chen Dongdong were definitely getting expelled, but now, someone had stepped in to protect them?
If not for the fear of causing trouble, they would surely be yelling about how unfair it was.
Xu Fan squinted, smiled, and said, "Classmates, the two kings of the dance floor, aren't you thrilled that we'll continue to be in the same class?"
"You!"
Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren were nearly going mad with rage! Thrilled my ass!
With a disgruntled face, Ouyang Hong said, "Hmph! Xu Fan, what are you so proud of? If it weren't for your connections, do you really think, with the grades that a poor student like you gets, you could pass?"
"Exactly!"
Xu Liren immediately echoed with a jealous tone, "You're just relying on connections, that's all. If it came down to grades, either of us could crush you to dust in a second! Loser!"
"Oh?"
Xu Fan just smiled, finding it amusing that these two guys still weren't convinced?
Alright then, he thought, I'll teach them a lesson in humility.
Xu Fan snorted and, seeing that many people were watching their way, he asked, "Are you two sure, absolutely sure, that your grades can crush me to dust?"
"Of course! Xu Fan, do you really think you're so important? When it comes to studying, you're not even worthy to carry our shoes, understand?"
Although they were not the best in terms of personality, they were quite confident in their academic performance; after all, both of them had consistently ranked in the top fifty of their year since their first year in high school.
"Alright, then let's compare our grades today."
Xu Fan nodded and immediately walked up to the podium.
"Xu Fan, what... what are you trying to do..."
As Xu Fan approached, Tong Dacheng started to panic. Now that he was aware of Xu Fan's network, not even a hundred times the courage would make him dare to show arrogance to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan patted Tong Dacheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Director Tong, don't be afraid. I'm just here to clarify the truth."
With Guan Shimeng's grandfather and the major shareholder present, Xu Fan was no longer worried about being expelled.
He then asked, "Director Tong, what's my exam score this time?"
"This..."
Tong Dacheng was puzzled as to why Xu Fan would suddenly ask about this.
He grinned and said, "Xu Fan, this... there's no exam paper for you this time. You didn't write your name, so it's zero."
"Haha! Xu Fan, you have the guts to compare grades with us with a zero?"
At this moment, Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this from below the stage.
Xu Fan didn't pay attention to the two of them and touched his nose, saying, "Oh, I forgot about that, Director Tong, it's like this, to help Chen Dongdong pass, I wrote Chen Dongdong's name on my test paper."
"Exactly! That's right! I can vouch for that! Boss did it to help me, so he wrote my name on the test paper!"
At that moment, Chen Dongdong chimed in from below the stage! After he finished speaking, he glared at Ouyang Hong and the other!
All the senior students were present at this point, and he couldn't wait to see Xu Fan smack these two idiots' faces in front of everyone!
"So what you're saying is, Chen Dongdong's score is my score. Director Tong, tell me, how many points did I score this time?"
Xu Fan then asked, believing that his score would never be lower than those of Ouyang Hong and the other, no matter what.
After all, with such a score that convinced Great Achievement that Chen Dongdong definitely cheated, how could it be low?
Great Achievement didn't even need to look at the score sheet and immediately blurted it out.
"Uh, Xu Fan, you, your total score is six hundred and five. Do you need the specific scores of each subject?"
"What? Six, six hundred and five?"
Hearing the score that Great Achievement announced, the students below instantly caused a buzz! It should be noted that this mock exam was extremely difficult, and not a single student had scored over six hundred!
Not only did Xu Fan score over six hundred, but his score was as high as six hundred fifty?
This guy, was he not too impressive?
Xu Fan glanced over the crowd nonchalantly, his gaze landing on the surprised faces of Ouyang Hong and the other, and snorted.
He hadn't wanted to make a big deal out of this, but alas, these two had stretched out their faces for him to smack!
Xu Fan dug at his ear and said indifferently, "Director Tong, how many points, I didn't hear clearly."
"This..."
Feeling embarrassed, Great Achievement glanced at Xu Fan and then, holding a microphone, said loudly, "Xu Fan, six hundred and fifty points!"
Six hundred and fifty points, these five words echoed through the sound system in the auditorium, as if transforming into slap after slap, harshly landing on the faces of Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren!
Their scores were only five hundred fifty points, one hundred points less than Xu Fan's!
As the gazes of all the teachers and students turned towards them, both of them felt utterly humiliated, their faces instantly turning as red as a monkey's butt!
"This, this is impossible! You must have cheated!"
Ouyang Hong was still not convinced! Below the stage, he pointed at Xu Fan, questioning him.
Before Xu Fan could speak, Great Achievement, eager to ingratiate himself with Xu Fan, started to explain.
He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I can attest to that, Xu Fan did not cheat in this mock exam!"
Though Great Achievement was trying to curry favor, he was telling the truth.
During the two days of exams, his attention was always on Xu Fan, and he indeed hadn't seen any signs of cheating.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Great Achievement and Xu Fan; now that Great Achievement was vouching for him, it further proved the authenticity of Xu Fan's results!
"This is impossible! This exam was so difficult, no one could score over six hundred points. You, Xu Fan, are just a new transfer student, why could you score six hundred and fifty points! It's impossible!"
For a while, Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren were at the very peak of embarrassment, refusing to concede for the sake of their pride.
Xu Fan saw this and couldn't help but chuckle, taking the microphone into his hand, he said, "I bet quite a few people are curious why I scored six hundred fifty points this time, well, the reason is quite simple."
As soon as everyone heard this, they looked at Xu Fan with curiosity, wondering if he had some unique study method.
At that moment, Xu Fan spoke up, "The reason I only scored six hundred fifty points is because I deliberately answered many questions incorrectly."
