Chapter 50: Old Xu: I have General Qi Yun!
Yun!
It was the first mock exam. The math test had just ended. Wang Shang was walking outside the examination room while listening to the chatter of the students on the side with his ears open.
“The questions are so hard this time! Did you write the last question?”
“The last question? I didn’t even have time to write it! I still have two big questions to finish!” The candidate who spoke was almost in tears.
Wang Shang was quite relaxed. He felt the questions were relatively easy this time. He finished writing all of them and thought he had done quite well in the exam.
The anxiety before the exam had almost disappeared. However, as Wang Shang walked, he heard all of his classmates complaining about the difficulty of the exam questions, especially the last one.
Many people failed to complete it. Even some of his classmates who usually performed well in exams struggled.
Is it really that difficult? Why do I feel like it wasn’t that hard? Wang Shang thought hard and finally came up with a terrible idea.
I …… Maybe I misread the title!?
……
Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were talking outside the classroom when they saw Wang Shang walking back from outside with a face that was about to cry.
“Qi Yun, I might have failed the exam!”
“??”
It shouldn’t be.
Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue. They had just said again that Wang Shang should have done pretty well on the exam this time.
“How did you manage to fail?” Qi Yun asked.
“I think… I may have read the question wrong.”
“Read the question wrong?” Qi Yun asked, “How do you know?”
“Everyone is saying that the last question of the exam was difficult, and it felt different from when I was writing it ……”
“That’s right! The last question was tough! I spent half an hour on it and still couldn’t solve it!” A classmate from Class 3A approached them, nodding.
Wang Shang’s heart sank, sure enough!
The person who spoke was usually one of the top ten students in the class, not to mention that they had better grades than him.
If he found it difficult, then there was a problem, but he was writing particularly smoothly.
There must be a problem.
Hearing Qi Yun and the others discussing the exam questions, all the students around the class came over. Almost all of them said that the last question that came this time was very difficult. There were very few who finished it.
“Was it difficult?” Qi Yun frowned and tried to recall, “What was the last question? I didn’t think it was that hard. Did you find it difficult?” He asked Lian Qingxue.
Lian Qingxue thought about it: “It doesn’t seem difficult. I finished it in ten minutes. It was a pretty ordinary question.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
The rest of the people said nothing.
They looked at each other, holding their chests, leaving Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue alone, looking at each other.
“Why do I feel as if my classmates dislike us?”
Lian Qingxue was puzzled.
……
Inside the office, only Old Xu and another teacher were there. It was a very quiet environment. But there was an undercurrent flowing beneath the calm surface.
Old Xu was fixed on the teaching plan in his hand, but he kept stealing glances at the male teacher sitting beside him.
The male teacher was the class teacher of Class 2B, Mr. Chen.
To Old Xu, he was his lifelong enemy.
Class 3A and 2B were two key classes in the school, and both classes had been sparring against each other for three years.
Old Xu and Mr. Chen had been comparing their students’ grades in every major exam since their first year.
Every time the big test, the two will compare their students’ performance, especially this year, as it was their students’ college entrance examination.
Old Xu knew that this year’s senior class teacher would likely be chosen from him or Chen based on the results of the two mock exams and the upcoming college entrance exam.
Whoever won would get the title of an excellent head teacher.
And that came with two months’ salary as salary ……
Oh, wait!
Was he a person who valued money?
That was a testament to his hard work!
He must get it!
But he knew Chen was also a fierce competitor for the title and had the ambition to usurp the throne!
……
“Teacher Xu, how do you think our two classes did on the exam?” Mr. Chen suddenly spoke up.
The tone was not friendly!
Old Xu narrowed his eyes, “I don’t know about Class 2B, but I think our class should have done quite well.”
“Is that so? Then how come I remember that the average score of Class 1A in the last exam was not as high as that of our Class 2B?”
“Does your class have students like Qi Yun, who scored perfect?” Old Xu retorted.
Teacher Chen: “Our class average score is high, which shows the overall strength is strong!”
Old Xu: “Our class has Qi Yun, number one in the entire school. Who has a better academic record than him?”
Teacher Chen: “Our class average score is high. The rate of future college entrance exams must be higher! I can earn honors for the school!”
Old Xu: “Alas, if Qi Yun returned with a top score in the exam, wouldn’t the headmaster be so happy?”
“Are you relying only on Qi Yun?” Teacher Chen scowled.
Old Xu sighed, “Alas, what can we do? We’ve nurtured a genius. My teaching career is already complete. I couldn’t ask for more.”
Teacher Chen ran away.
Old Xu’s smile disappeared, and he became worried. After all, even though he had Qi Yun but the average performance of his class was not as good as that of Class 2B.
That was a big disadvantage for the title of an excellent head teacher.
