Several teachers gathered over to take a look, and someone sighed, "This year's Chinese seems harder than last year; our class usually scores in the 130s, but this time quite a few didn't even break 120."

Another teacher chimed in: "Math is actually simple; we have several students scoring over 140 in our class, but the language essay is dragging down the scores. A few students who usually do well in language have told me they're going to mess up on the essay."

Zhou Laoshi couldn't squeeze in, so they remained silent the whole time, already anxious inside.

Heaven knows, today the Class 1 class group is unexpectedly quiet!

He @-ed everyone nearly ten times, but no one replied or reported their scores—not even the usually obedient, well‑behaved student Ye Zeli, who seems compliant on the surface, has left no word at all!!

Zhou Laoshi even suspected they had formed a small group, had agreed on it, and indeed that's the case.

The director walked over and said, "Vice principal, haven't those few in your class posted their scores yet? Or are they already on the way?"

Zhou Laoshi tried to act casual, but inside they were dying of anxiety—"The scores are out; I'm not waiting for them to tell me myself. Anyway, there are plenty of names on the list, I don't need these few."

A burst of laughter broke out in the office: "Your attitude is actually pretty good."

Zhou Laoshi then came with a high‑EQ remark: "There's nothing wrong with the mindset; mainly, I know they won't do poorly."

The other teachers: "This round, we've played along with his act."

The Olympiad class head teacher smiled, saying, "Our class monitor scored 739 this time, but that's only fifth place."

"Heavens, scoring near 740 only gets you ninth? Even last year's college entrance exam top scorer only got 740!"

Someone drew a hiss and said, "Next door, Lan Lin produced a Jiang Ji scoring 740, placing fourth!"

"Who is Jiang Ji? This person has never appeared in the top ten of previous joint exams!"

The teacher of Class 1's practical class drawled, "It seems to be the young master of the Jiang family—you forgot that in the last second mock joint exam, his cultural score was 690, and after applying for dozens of comprehensive quality items, he ranked first overall?"

Zhou Laoshi suddenly realized, "I remember this—our class students have been talking about him for quite a while."

"So how did your students actually do on the exam?"

The principal who was about to announce the answer burst into the room doing a split from the doorway.

He was sweating lightly on his forehead, holding his waist, and raising a freshly printed score summary sheet—"It's out, it's out!"

The principal's voice was at least two pitches higher than usual.

"How's it going, where's the top scorer?" the office director put down the list, unable to wait.

The principal jumped for joy, laughing hysterically, "Ahahahaha! Our school has the national top scorer—we've beaten Lan Lin!"
