Chapter 55

"Not coming to evening self-study?"

In the classroom of Senior Year Class 8, Ding Rong thought she had heard wrong.

Because of the previous intensive small tests, teachers of all subjects were working overtime to grade papers, and each teacher brought more than three classes; the office was like a battlefield, and Ding Rong couldn't disturb others, so the conversation with Zhai Da's parent was placed in an empty classroom.

"This is the critical period for preparing for the college entrance exam! Zhai Da's grades have finally improved recently, with 130 in the Chinese small test; asking for leave from evening self-study at this time, and for such a long time, isn't appropriate, right?"

Yu Xiaoli was a bit surprised; Chinese also improved?

Little Wei is really amazing.

But she still followed the original plan: "I know, that's why I came to mention this; I hired a tutor for Xiao Da."

Ding Rong's voice became urgent: "Zhai Da's mom, you are confused! How can a tutor compare to school classes? How many hours does a tutor have? What's the use?"

"Our tutor lives at home, eats and sleeps together, and it's no problem to teach until two in the morning."

Ding Rong had a question mark in her brain... what kind of tutor lives at home? Is this tutor decent?

And at this time, Zhai Da was taking his "decent tutor" for a stroll in the teaching building.

Once, high school student Zhai Da had fantasized about walking around the campus with a beautiful girl, but unfortunately, he didn't achieve this accomplishment until graduation.

Before this, the person who walked the most roads with him on campus was the rebellious Wu Yue.

Walking with Lu Wei was completely different; he didn't have the urge to kick anyone at all.

"Do you think we might have actually met before when we were in school?"

Lu Wei had her hands behind her back, her extra-long ponytail swaying at her hips: "I don't know."

She hadn't returned to school for a long time, and felt nostalgic looking at everything.

Even if she no longer cared about her future, she could still distinguish which was the better place between the roaring factory day and night and the noisy classroom every day.

It wasn't that there was no one her age in the factory; maybe some people didn't miss studying...

But no one didn't miss the place where they studied.

Passing a certain staircase, Lu Wei looked up: "I want to see if a teacher is there."

Zhai Da had no opinion; Lu Wei had also studied here for two and a half years, so it was normal to have teachers she wanted to see.

The two climbed to the top floor, and Lu Wei knocked on Teacher Shen Rui's office under Zhai Da's surprised gaze.

Unfortunately, no response.

"You know Teacher Shen Rui?"

Lu Wei said softly: "The job opportunity at Maofang Factory was introduced by Teacher Shen; there were also some other things at the time that needed to be thanked."

Zhai Da smiled; he probably knew what was going on: "I'll come next time; he should also be curious about your recent situation; I'll bring him two bottles of Assam, the kind with a fresh date."

Lu Wei nodded: "I'll pay for it."

Just as they were about to go downstairs, a teacher he didn't know passed by: "Are you looking for Teacher Shen Rui? He has taken a long leave; I am his substitute teacher; which class are you from?"

Zhai Da asked curiously: "We aren't here for schoolwork; how long has Teacher Shen been on leave?"

That young female teacher also looked troubled: "It's been almost a week; don't know when he'll be back."

Actually, don't look at Shen Rui not holding a high position in the school; in fact, his position is very stable; even if he takes leave every three days for his social science research, he has to be ranked first among all teachers in the school's "teacher strength display."

No other reason, he is a Ph.D. from R University; once the academic qualifications are marked, any leader who comes to inspect will have face.

——————

After Zhai Da's family of three left, Ding Rong was a bit depressed.

From the heart, Maofang Middle School's teacher strength is not strong, and it's normal for students to find ways from tutors and cram schools to get ahead.

But Zhai Da...

He doesn't even hand in homework!

And just now when Zhai Da's mom talked about the specific situation of the "tutor," there was always a feeling of ambiguity; she still thought it was an excuse.

Unfortunately, no matter how big the teacher is, they aren't bigger than the guardian.

Returning to the office, Ding Rong found that teachers of all subjects were exceptionally lively, gathering together to discuss something.

"Copied, right? How could this kind of improvement speed be achieved by oneself?"

"But even if copied, could he copy every subject?"

Several teachers saw Ding Rong come in and immediately said:

"Teacher Ding, you're here; just happened to have something to ask you; we were just doing score statistics; who is Zhai Da's deskmate in your class? I don't have much impression."

Ding Rong was confused: "Zhai Da's deskmate? It's Yang Fan."

Being able to react so quickly was also because Yang Fan had secretly reported Zhai Da for not handing in homework a while ago.

Of course, it didn't count as reporting; after all, teachers of all subjects knew Zhai Da's situation, and no one managed it if no one mentioned it.

"Yang Fan? I have an impression; aren't his grades very poor? It seems his total mock exam score is only 200-something."

Ding Rong nodded: "That's right, this kid basically has no hope for the college entrance exam; what's wrong?"

The English teacher came over with an exam paper and said: "Look at this, Zhai Da's paper, 120 full marks, he scored 108."

Ding Rong picked up the exam paper; although she couldn't understand a single word, she could understand the score and the name.

Before she could digest it, the physics teacher also leaned over: "And today's physics small test, 87 points (100 full marks)."

"My chemistry is also 84 points."

"My chemistry is also 84 points."

Ding Rong looked at the last math teacher, who pushed his glasses: "132 points, (160 full marks + 40 additional questions)"

Honestly, this kind of grade, looking at the whole province, is just a slightly stronger ox or horse among thousands of troops, but for a county-level scumbag high school like Maofang Middle School, where the undergraduate rate is only 30% and the first-tier rate is 7%, it's already very awesome.

Surpassing the vast majority of students in key classes in one leap.

Such grades, on a student who was previously unknown and even fainted in the mock exam...

It's no wonder the first reaction was "copied."

But.... how could he copy every subject, and the most suspicious deskmate Yang Fan himself is a scumbag! His paper score is only half of Zhai Da's!

Ding Rong didn't feel Zhai Da would go that far from the heart; she always felt that Zhai Da had grown a lot after fainting once; this kind of self-deception is meaningless in the senior year.

If calculated according to these grades, plus the previous Chinese small test score of 130...

Ding Rong counted on her fingers for a long time, then found she couldn't calculate it, and looked at the math teacher for help.

The math teacher said: "We have already calculated it; if we count the previous Chinese small test, Zhai Da's total score has reached 370, and the subject grade test is three B's; if he is lucky, physics might even get an A (percentage grading)."

Ding Rong couldn't believe it: "Zhai Da's first mock exam was only 270.. junior college was barely enough, the second mock exam was even worse... now this score... I remember this year's estimated first-tier line is only 340, right?"

A score of 370 is already enough to touch a 211 prestigious school...

After the total score became 480, every point for students in the province is extra precious; after all, students' grades show a normal distribution, and there are extra many people in the middle.

According to their prediction, this year's junior college line is expected to be 280, the third-tier line is expected to be 300, and the second-tier line is expected to be 320.

It can be said that every twenty points is a world of difference.

Because of this, although Zhai Da's total score only improved by 100 points, he has already gone from the lowest level of junior college directly to the top level of Maofang Middle School.

He's on the first-tier road!

The effect of someone cheating to study is actually stronger than he thought; just the super memory provided by the [Literary Girl's Pen] is enough to turn the college entrance exam into a smooth road for anyone.

It's just because he never hands in homework, everyone doesn't have an accurate judgment.

At this score, he's steady for a 211, and can go further for a 985!

In the whole Maofang Middle School, there are no more than 20 people with this level, and they are all in two key classes; basically, as soon as the college entrance exam is over, the photos of these 20 people have to be posted at the school gate for people to admire.

The teachers were very excited; they were teachers of regular classes, with many students, high pressure, and the class was full of crooked melons and cracked dates.

You can't pick out a few serious ones in a class, unlike teachers in key classes, who not only manage fewer people but also have good students who are willing to study...

If a monster like Zhai Da appeared, not to mention promotion and salary increase, at least they felt a lot more proud in their hearts.

The math teacher said: "Teacher Ding, although the improvement is exaggerated, I feel that Zhai Da fainted once after all... maybe he really opened up? I remember there was a student before whose grades rocketed in the last semester."

A while ago in the office, hearing Zhai Da say he was still laying the foundation, he even laughed.

Now thinking about it, what are you laughing at! This is called thick accumulation and thin hair!

"After class on Monday, we'll find a way to test if he really has improved so much, and then teachers of all subjects can concentrate on tutoring!"

"Right, spare time should also be utilized, even if it's evening self-study called to the office for one-on-one tutoring..."

Facing the enthusiasm of teachers of all subjects, Ding Rong's expression was a bit stiff.

Haha... so awkward...
