Chapter 355: Campus Academic System (27)

Since their daughter was going to Nancheng for the National League and would be gone for ten days, Xie Wenteng and his wife could no longer stay at home; they immediately packed their luggage and went along with her.

When contacting the hotel to book rooms, they also upgraded the room types for the entire First High School volleyball team.

This way, their daughter could also stay in a suite with them.

The physical education teacher, who was staying in a luxury business suite for the price of a standard room, couldn't help but record a video and post it to the First High School teachers' group: "Thanks to Xie Yang, I'm staying in such a luxurious suite for the first time."

At the same time, the teachers from the Chinese teaching and research group who were leading a team to a debate competition were all envious, and half-jokingly tagged the head teacher of the Experimental Class: "Teacher Liu, how are Xie Yang's Chinese and adaptability skills?"

Liu Juan: "..."

Do you want the truth?

When Xie Yang first transferred here, she barely passed a single subject.

These grades, let alone being in the Experimental Class, would be considered embarrassing even in a regular class.

Fortunately, the principal agreed that Xie Yang's grades would not be counted toward the class average; otherwise, she would have been anxious and suffering from insomnia every day.

Later, Xie Yang joined the volleyball team and utilized her strengths there. She was genuinely happy for Xie Yang from the bottom of her heart; this child had finally found the right path for herself.

But what was unexpected was that after joining the volleyball team, Xie Yang's academic grades not only didn't regress, but actually showed clear improvement—

In the most recent monthly exam, she not only passed every subject but also caught up with the progress of the Experimental Class.

At this rate of progress, by the time the College Entrance Examination arrives, her academic grades won't be too bad.

Even if she can't get into a 985 or 211 university, a Double Non-First-Class university is still quite promising.

Liu Juan told the principal the truth.

Upon hearing this, Principal Feng thought, Xie Yang's progress is this significant? Then he must tell President Xie! Let him be happy too, so he doesn't feel like that Shiyan Lou was donated in vain.

Xie Wenteng and his wife were currently hunched over, heads poking out, quietly peeking at their daughter, who was having a video call in the study attached to the hotel suite.

"Judging by the voice, it's a boy."

"Shh—keep your voice down!" Deng Youmei glared at her husband and whispered in a breathy voice, "Didn't you hear that our daughter is talking to him about her studies? If you disturb her studying, I'm not done with you!"

"..."

Xie Wenteng scratched his head and muttered softly, "I didn't even say anything."

Deng Youmei peeked again, then dragged her husband away, tiptoeing back to their bedroom, and warned her husband repeatedly: "You are not allowed to disturb our daughter!"

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb her, I won't disturb her."

Xie Wenteng just felt a bit regretful that he couldn't take a photo of his daughter's back while she was studying to post on social media.

Last time, Lao Zhang posted a photo of his son sitting on the sofa studying seriously and got a lot of likes. Although he had secretly mocked Lao Zhang for showing off—who knew if there was a phone hidden inside the book his son was holding—he couldn't deny that his mood at the time was more sour than if he had bitten into a giant lemon.

Who told him his daughter didn't like to study? From childhood to now, he had never managed to catch a chance to take a photo of her studying.

Who would have thought that after transferring to First High School, his daughter would fall in love with studying! Even when representing the school in a competition, she didn't forget to discuss exercises with her classmates! Hehe! That twenty million was money well spent!

"It won't work, wifey, I have to take a photo of our daughter as a memento."

Xie Wenteng thought and thought, finally pulling out his phone, adjusting the camera, and deciding to capture the scene of his daughter buried in her studies; who knew if he'd ever get another chance like this.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be light on my feet, I promise I won't disturb her."

"Then be quiet." Deng Youmei also wanted to post on social media, but she was afraid of disturbing her daughter, so she warned her husband uneasily, "Don't wear your slippers, go barefoot."

"..."

Xie Wenteng clutched his phone, went barefoot, and hunched over, finally making it to the door of the study when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Principal Feng calling.

Xie Wenteng: "..."

He scrambled to hang up.

But it was too late; his daughter had already discovered him.

Xie Yang was on a video call, cooperating with Jiang Yinian to grind Tasks. Having just finished a math problem, she heard the noise and turned to look: "Dad, are you going to take a call? Then I'll go to the room and let you have the study."

"No need, no need, it was just a spam call, I already hung up." Xie Wenteng straightened his back, gestured with his phone, and said with a chuckle, "You go back to your work, I was just coming out to pour a glass of water, I'm going back in now. Don't study too late, you have a competition tomorrow, get some sleep early."

With his daughter watching, Xie Wenteng didn't have the nerve to take a photo, so he just clutched his phone and paced back to his room.

Over there, Principal Feng looked down at the hung-up phone, thinking President Xie must be busy right now, and told himself he'd call another day; he wouldn't disturb him for now.

"Let's continue."

In the study, Xie Yang urged Jiang Yinian to continue explaining.

Using video calls for tutoring and explaining problems (grinding Tasks) was something they both thought of simultaneously.

And it must be said, this was indeed a good method.

Furthermore, Xie Yang even thought of one that was more time-saving and convenient:

"You can send me recordings when you have time, and I'll listen whenever I'm free, then send the completed problems back for you to grade. That way, we don't have to force ourselves to find a time when we're both free for a video call."

"It's fine, I happen to be free at this time. Besides, helping you with tutoring is also a review for myself."

Hearing him say this, Xie Yang guessed he was probably worried that recordings would affect the Task grinding. Since it didn't delay his studies, then video calls it was.

Thus, during the period Xie Yang was in Nancheng for the competition, she would have a video call with Jiang Yinian every night; he would help her with tutoring and explaining problems, and she would cooperate with him to grind Tasks.

As for the daytime, it was, of course, leading the First High School volleyball team to dominate the field.

This day, after Principal Feng finished his work, he remembered he hadn't spoken to President Xie yet, so he dialed his number...

"Hello, ah, Principal Feng? I'm not busy, just watching the competition, what's up, you tell me... Talk about my daughter? Good, good, good, you talk..."

"Great shot! Ah, haha, sorry, I'm too excited! Principal Feng, you continue... My daughter's grades have improved a lot recently? That goes without saying! Her mother and I have seen her progress; even while out for a competition, she studies until very late every day!... Great shot! Well done, daughter!"

"It's settled, it's settled! Principal Feng! Old Feng! Did you hear the cheers from the whole arena? My daughter is about to win a National League championship medal for your First High School! Are you happy? Are you excited? By the way, a teacher from Nanjing University came over today talking about some recommendation; Old Feng, do you know how the recommendation process works?"

"..."

Principal Feng was both shocked and delighted, not even knowing which thing to be happy about first.

The First High School volleyball team had not only reached the National League for the first time, but had also fought through five rounds and six generals to enter the finals, and were even leading by a large margin, about to take the crown?

Xie Yang had received an invitation from a Nanjing University teacher at the competition site, recommending her for the sports recommendation track?

Nanjing University! The first tier of 985 universities! Isn't that much better than a Double Non-First-Class?

Good news!

Every single one is good news!

At this moment, the First High School teacher group chat also chimed with the excited voice message of the PE teacher.

He sent a report of victory from the competition site, his voice trembling with excitement:

"We won, we won! Hahahaha! Our First High School has taken the championship of this year's National League! I can brag about this for the rest of my life, hahahaha!"

"..."
