Chapter 331: Campus Academic System (3)

"Students, please spare me a few minutes. We have a new student joining our class. Her name is Xie Yang, and she has transferred from Deya International High School. From now on, she is a member of Class 11. Let's give her a warm welcome!"

As the homeroom teacher finished speaking, a round of applause broke out below.

Liu Juan looked at the faces full of curiosity below and sighed in her heart once more.

In such a critical year for the College Entrance Examination, the school had suddenly shoved in a transfer student with mediocre grades. She was genuinely worried that the class's existing study atmosphere and rhythm would be disrupted.

But who could blame her when the transfer student's parent offered a top-tier Shiyan Lou as soon as they stepped in, with the only condition being that his daughter be transferred into the Experimental Class? How could the school authorities possibly refuse?

Even she couldn't find the words to refuse.

She only hoped this transfer student would be well-behaved.

However, at the very first glance, seeing the two-toned bangs and the row of four ear studs on the other's right ear, her heart nearly stopped.

One really shouldn't hold even half a hope for students from International High School.

But what could she do?

Letting the transfer student join the Experimental Class was the school's decision; as a homeroom teacher, she had no right to say no.

Not only could she not refuse, but she also had to put on a show of warm welcome.

It was truly too difficult for her!

Liu Juan tried hard to calm her mood, doing her best not to let her true emotions leak out.

After adjusting her mood, she turned her head and smiled at Xie Yang: "Xie Yang, why don't you come up and introduce yourself to everyone."

Xie Yang nodded, picked up her schoolbag, and stepped onto the podium: "Hello everyone, my name is Xie Yang. I am very happy to join the big family of Class 11. I hope for your guidance in the future."

"..."

That was it?

The top students of the Experimental Class were waiting for her to continue with her specialties, hobbies, and strong subjects, but she had stopped abruptly after stating her name, which was already public knowledge.

Liu Juan, however, felt that Xie Yang's extremely brief introduction was quite good. If she had brought over all those messy so-called hobbies from the International High School students—chasing celebrities, gaming, singing karaoke, clubbing... she might have fainted on the spot.

"Very good."

Fearing that Xie Yang might say a few more words, Liu Juan quickly cut back to her own hosting.

She then scanned the classroom, feeling a headache over how to arrange the seating for this transfer student who was carrying a golden egg.

Originally, she had planned to add a desk next to the podium for the transfer student to sit at; under the eyes of the teachers, surely she wouldn't be able to affect the other students?

However, the principal and the dean of students had taken turns instructing her to treat everyone equally and not to engage in such special treatment, lest the transfer student's parents find out and have objections. What if they got angry and withdrew the donation? That was a Shiyan Lou worth 20 million!

But if she didn't engage in special treatment, how should she arrange the transfer student's seat?

In the end, Liu Juan pinned her hopes on her most proud and excellent student, Jiang Yinian, and let Xie Yang sit next to Jiang Yinian for a few days.

Jiang Yinian was a student with very strong self-discipline. Due to his family situation, he had been working part-time outside of school throughout high school. But even though his part-time jobs took up a large amount of his spare time, it hadn't affected his grades. Liu Juan believed he shouldn't be disturbed by the transfer student.

However, she was also afraid that the transfer student's parents would have objections about this; after all, most parents hoped their children would sit in the middle of the front rows. Therefore, she added: "This is just a temporary transition. We will rearrange the seats after the monthly exam."

To motivate students, seats at First High School were chosen by students in order of their preference based on their rankings after the monthly exams. Whenever the monthly exam results came out, the seats would be changed.

However, there were also students whose grades were stable year after year, and their seats rarely changed.

For example, the grade-level first, Jiang Yinian, and the class second, Zheng Ziyi, always occupied the two divine spots by the north and south windows in the last row.

Now, there was an extra desk and chair by the north window in the last row.

Xie Yang sat down next to Jiang Yinian.

She turned her head to size him up—Jiang Yinian, the object of her assistance for this Task.

His crew cut was neat and refreshing, his side profile was sharp and handsome, his nose bridge was tall and striking, and his skin was as white as cold jade. Just in terms of appearance, he was her type.

Main System: 【...】

You are here to assist, not to go on a blind date.

"Whoever has an extra class schedule, give a copy to Xie Yang. If not, lend her yours to see what the next few classes are. After school, Xie Yang, come to my office to print one out," Liu Juan reminded Xie Yang.

This period was an activity period, allowing students to review freely, but the next period was a formal class, so she had to let the student prepare in advance.

Xie Yang: "..."

Her schoolbag was empty; she had no textbooks.

She bit the bullet and stood up to ask: "Teacher, does the school have any extra textbooks? I'll buy a set. If not, I'll go to the bookstore after school."

Class 11 teachers and students: "..."

It's been almost a month since school started, and you're saying you have no textbooks?

How could it be that you don't use textbooks for classes at your International High School?

At this moment, Teacher Liu not only had a headache, but her teeth were also aching faintly.

She pointed to the sports student Zheng Ziyi and the sports committee member Xiao Mingrui to make a trip to the Academic Affairs Office to help Xie Yang collect this semester's textbooks and supplementary materials, and by the way, help Xie Yang register for a school uniform. Since she had transferred to First High School, she couldn't keep wearing the International High School uniform.

"I'll have the teachers of each subject give you the other materials later."

Before Xie Yang could thank her, Teacher Liu said to the whole class: "There is only one week left until the monthly exam. It is the first official ranking exam of the third year of high school. It is both a test of your review results from the month and a half of summer vacation and the first shot in the battle for the College Entrance Examination. You must prepare well."

Teacher Liu gave some earnest advice before returning to the office.

As soon as she left, the originally silent classroom erupted in hushed discussions, and students would turn their heads to peek at Xie Yang from time to time.

Xie Yang sat in her seat with her hand supporting her cheek, feeling truly bored.

She should have gone to the Academic Affairs Office to move the books, and by the way, familiarized herself with the environment of First High School.

But Teacher Liu wouldn't let her go, saying two boys were enough.

It was clear that Teacher Liu was repulsed by, rejected, and dissatisfied with her arrival, but her attitude was impeccable and flawless.

This could probably be attributed to the Shiyan Lou donated by Comrade Lao Xie.

She had transmigrated here during the morning break.

The original body had spent the whole night playing at a club newly opened by one of her lackeys and only returned to school in the morning. As a result, she ran into the principal at the school gate. Fearing he would report her to her old man, she had to tuck her tail and go to the classroom, not daring to swagger back to the dormitory to sleep.

It just so happened that the International Class had an equestrian class that morning, and the original body, being unskilled yet fond of playing, went black in front of her eyes while galloping on horseback, sending herself away.

After Xie Yang took over this body, she contacted her family to express her wish to transfer to First High School.

She had thought it would take some time to persuade her parents, but to her surprise, her parents were not only not opposed, but actually very happy.

Xie Ma: "Oh my! My daughter has finally bid farewell to her rebellious youth and knows how to strive for progress?"

Xie Ba: "Hahaha! Good, good, good! Don't worry, daughter, Daddy will contact the principal of First High School right now! Before, you didn't like to study, so there was nothing to be done. Now that you are willing to strive for progress, no matter how much money it takes, Daddy will send you to the Experimental Class at First High School!"

Two hours later, just as she came out of the Canteen, Comrade Lao Xie sent her a photo of a donation contract, "Done! Daughter, you can report to the Experimental Class at First High School at any time!"

It was precisely because Comrade Lao Xie donated twenty million to First High School to build the Shiyan Lou that the school authorities were so tolerant—

Tolerating her rows of ear studs, her bleached bangs, and those unbearable, wretched grades.

The hearts of parents everywhere are truly pitiful.
