Chapter 1075: Brothers of One Mind, the Teacher is Angered into the Hospital

This kind of atmosphere must not be encouraged.

If this continues for long, what will become of things?

"You have all performed very well this month, haven't you? Do you want me to talk to you one by one?" Shi Youxuan was basically issuing a threat.

After a month of "free-range" living, the children had all become a bit lax.

It was just that the other three hadn't performed as poorly as Zichen.

She lamented in her heart that boys were just worrisome; such things would absolutely never have happened when Shi Ran was little.

The three boys said in unison: "No need."

"No need."

"No need."

Sheng Zihan: "Mom, you have worked very hard. We are all doing well, so you don't need to worry."

"Goodbye, Mom, I'm going to do my homework."

"Goodbye, Mom, I'm going to do my homework too."

"Goodbye, Mom."

The speed at which the three children slipped away was faster than the last.

Mom is different from Dad; when she has nothing to do, she can get along with them like a friend, but when it comes to principles—like in this kind of situation—she doesn't give an inch, instantly transforming from a close friend into a strict parent!

All the children are afraid of her.

But they couldn't not help their older brother.

So the three of them went to Zichen's room, and the four children brainstormed together.

There were ten days left until the final exams; in such a short time, it was impossible to turn his grades around from last place to first place—it was a pipe dream.

He could do it before because he was younger, the curriculum was shallow, and with his intelligence, a little effort was enough to catch up.

But now the curriculum difficulty had increased, and his classmates all knew how to study; everyone was smart and worked hard, so intelligence was no longer an advantage, and the disadvantage of not working hard became particularly obvious.

Even if Sheng Zichen didn't sleep or rest starting today, he couldn't guarantee he would score first in the grade!

Sheng Zihan gave him an idea: "Big Brother, just cheat, make a crib sheet." The corners of his mouth turned up, and his brows relaxed.

Good idea, why hadn't he thought of that?

But Litian objected: "No, Mom said cheating is a matter of character. We can have insufficient ability, but we cannot have problems with our character."

Zichen shoved him, displeased: "Are you still my good buddy? If there were another way, don't you think I know I shouldn't cheat? Isn't it that there's no other way now? The requirements are too strict; there are only ten days until the exam, and even if I worked myself to death, it's impossible for me to get first in the grade."

Litian still felt it was inappropriate: "I'll tutor you these next few days, and when the exam comes, I'll purposely fail, then you'll have a chance."

Originally, Litian's grades were also at the bottom, but after his grades came up last time, they had never gone back down. Looking at Sheng Zichen, it was a different story; his grades went up and down, very unstable.

He said with a mournful face: "You can go easy on me, but can you convince so many high-achieving classmates to purposely fail? I'm finished; I definitely won't be able to attend the Chef Conference this time."

Litian stopped speaking; Big Brother was right, he could control himself, but he couldn't control others.

Then Zirui, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Actually, Zihan's words make sense. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures; you have to learn to be flexible. If we follow Mom's requirements and honestly work hard, Big Brother definitely won't be able to go to the Chef Conference this time."

The Jiangzhou Chef Conference is held on a small scale every year and a large scale every five years.

This time it also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the association's founding, so the lineup is very strong!

It can be considered a once-in-a-century opportunity; if he misses this time, it would be a real pity.

Sheng Zichen's eyes lit up: "Zirui also thinks this method works?"

Among the brothers, although Zirui is young, he is the most steady and has the best sense of the big picture; he is the most like their older sister.

"Yes, it works, but the plan must be thorough to minimize the risk and maximize the gain."

Ever since Sheng Zirui entered the Study, his progress had been significant; he often popped out new terms, and many things he said were now unintelligible even to his two older brothers.

Things like "rate of return" and "risk-reward ratio"—they didn't understand any of it.

It didn't matter that they didn't understand these things; Zirui was on his side and wanted to help him, and that was enough.

Although Litian still felt it was unreliable, it was three against one.

Based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority, the matter was decided just like that.

From that day on, Shi Youxuan noticed that the four children always ran to Sheng Zichen's room together after school.

Under the guise of: studying together!

The other three children had no problems with their grades, so she didn't think much of it, truly believing that Sheng Zichen had started to work hard.

The day of the exam arrived.

This morning.

The breakfast on the table had changed; in front of Sheng Zichen and Litian, there was one fried dough stick and two boiled eggs each.

Fried dough sticks and boiled eggs are the standard breakfast before an exam; the fried dough stick represents 1, and the boiled egg represents 0—one fried dough stick and two boiled eggs mean a score of 100.

Of course, it didn't actually help with the exam results, but at least it was a good omen and helped the children build self-confidence.

After breakfast, the children all went to school.

Shi Youxuan prepared to ask her younger sister and Jian Yixin out for some shopping; just as she was about to make the call, the phone rang.

It was Zichen's teacher calling: "Zichen's mom, do you have time? Zichen had a bit of a situation at school."

Shi Youxuan's heart immediately jumped: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

School.

Principal's office.

The homeroom teacher and the Principal were both there, and there were two strangers in the office as well.

The teacher looked solemn: "Sheng Zichen's mom, Sheng Zichen was caught cheating by the proctor during the exam. Not only did he refuse to admit his mistake, but he also had an arrogant attitude, saying the teacher had seen it wrong."

"Sheng Litian helped him speak, and the two of them slandered the teacher together. Teacher Li already had a bad heart, and as a result, she was so angered that she had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. What do you think we should do?"

Shi Youxuan asked hurriedly: "Is Teacher Li in danger? Which hospital was she sent to? I'll go over immediately." She was very anxious and did not offer a single word of defense for her son.

This attitude made the expressions of those two strangers look a little better.

The Principal said, "The school sent Teacher Li to the hospital in time, which is how she saved her life, but she is still under observation in the VIP Hospital Ward."

"Mrs. Sheng, these two are Teacher Li's family members; they want you to give them an explanation."

Shi Youxuan finally understood that those two people were the family members of the invigilator.

Knowing she was in the wrong, she apologized immediately.

Her attitude was very sincere; she asked about the teacher's condition in every sentence and told the family that she would be responsible for this matter to the end, promising to agree to whatever demands they made.

Fortunately, Teacher Li's family members were not unreasonable people; they only wanted an attitude from the student's parent.

Having heard that Sheng Zichen's family had great influence, they wanted an attitude based on the principle of absolutely not bowing down to evil forces!

Shi Youxuan's attitude was very good, and Teacher Li's family members did not make things difficult for her.

She admitted that her upbringing was inadequate, and then she used every connection she could to invite the best heart and brain experts from the United States to treat Teacher Li.

Before the experts arrived, the teacher woke up.

Sheng Zichen stood before the teacher's hospital bed to apologize, crying like a tearful mess, admitting his mistake and admitting that he had indeed cheated, and that he had lied because he was afraid his mother would find out.

Litian also apologized to the teacher and admitted his mistake!
