Chapter 1161: The Monthly Exam Results Were Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Linlang was very satisfied with her first test in Ling Yun High School.
After the final geography test, she walked out of the cla.s.sroom with her lips slightly curled up.
Ye Linlang had a feeling that she was really blessed this time. She seemed to know how to solve all the basic questions.
Uh… of course, Ye Linlang really couldn’t solve the slightly difficult questions, but she had already tried her best to get all the points she could.
As the saying goes, “Do your best and leave the rest to fate.” Ye Linlang felt that she had already done her best.
She hoped that the final results wouldn’t disappoint her.
Ye Linlang’s hopes weren’t high. As long as she could get into the top fifteen, that’s right, even if it was the fifteenth place, it would still be good!
…
Even though Ling Yun High School had a lot of teachers, the cla.s.s hours were also very tight. Thus, it was only on the third day after the monthly exam that the teachers rushed to finish marking all the papers.
As for grade one Cla.s.s A, the second-to-last period of the afternoon was the cla.s.s meeting.
If nothing unexpected happened, the results and rankings of the students would be announced during the cla.s.s meeting as usual.
In recent years, the education bureau had been promoting reducing the burden on children, saying that results and rankings should not become a heavy burden on the hearts of children.
However, everyone knew that there were policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Ye Linlang had never seen any school hide the results and rankings. In fact, there were even more and more tricks up their sleeves!
For example, for those students who were at the top of their grades, there would be recognition meetings, some merit cla.s.ses, and even monetary rewards!
As an elite school, almost all the students in Ling Yun High School were born with good grades. However, they never ignored the college entrance examination and their grades.
There was no helping it. In the upper-cla.s.s society, it was even more common to compare with one another. Children were also a point to show off.
If the children’s results were outstanding, they would be more capable of managing their parents’ companies in the future. They would not let family a.s.sets be managed by outsiders.
…
Under such a nervous atmosphere, the second-to-last cla.s.s meeting of the afternoon finally arrived.
Everyone’s hearts were slightly in suspense. They were extremely curious about how many points they had scored, and what rank they could rank in the cla.s.s or even in the grade.
As soon as the bell rang, Ye Linlang could not help but look out the window a few more times. This was the first time she had looked forward to the arrival of the homeroom teacher.
Although Ye Linlang thought that her answers to the monthly examination paper were not bad, after the teacher had explained the answers to all the questions, Ye Linlang also felt that she had performed to her expected or even better standards.
However, whether she would be able to enter the top 15 of the cla.s.s was still an unknown.
Yin Zihan, who was a bad student, couldn’t stand it anymore. He glanced at Ye Linlang with disdain and couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Linlang for being too nervous.
“Ye Linlang, do you have to be like this? People who don’t know would think that you’ve done something bad, and you’re afraid that someone will arrest you.”
What kind of stupid metaphor was Yin Zihan using?!
Ye Linlang couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
“Yin Zihan, why are you so free? Does your family not care about your results at all?”
Yin Zihan shrugged his shoulders.
“Me? The last place is reserved for me. My dad is already used to my results. Anyway, the college entrance examination is just a small test for me, and then I’ll go abroad to settle my affairs…”
Ye Linlang looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
Even if he went abroad, he still had to look at IELTS and Toefl, okay?!
And the college entrance examination results are also an auxiliary reference for going abroad, okay?!
Okay… maybe money can make the devil move the millstone, and Yin Zihan isn’t just an ordinary rich person, right? Anyway, even if he couldn’t go to a famous school, going abroad was still a good thing.
Yin Zihan saw Ye Linlang’s speechless look, and the corners of his thin lips couldn’t help but twitch.
“Say, Ye Linlang, don’t tell me you really think you can get into the top 15 of the cla.s.s? I’m saying that with your lousy English, you’re already praying to the G.o.ds if you can pa.s.s your sister Ye Siyao!”
Was there a need to belittle her like that?!
Ye Linlang felt that Yin Zihan, as the worst student among the worst students, was still able to hit her like that. That was impressive.
“A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes. Haven’t you heard this saying before? Don’t look down on me!”
Yin Zihan looked at the girl in front of him. His eyes were full and his slightly pouted lips were like jelly. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his ears for some reason.
Yin Zihan quickly averted his eyes and snorted at Ye Linlang while pretending to be disdainful.
“Ye Linlang, I still feel that you shouldn’t feel too strong. Don’t tell me that you’re afraid of losing the bet with Xia Qianqian and have to treat the entire cla.s.s to breakfast?”
Yin Zihan paused and prepared to show off in front of Ye Linlang, which was rare.
“If you can’t afford that, I can help you out, but you have to help me with my homework for a week!”
Ye Linlang rolled her eyes at Yin Zihan again.
“In your dreams!”
If she really lost, Ye Linlang would rather use her saved money and work in a restaurant to earn the extra money to treat her cla.s.smates to breakfast than use Yin Zihan’s money.
Moreover, it was not certain who would win or lose!
After roughly checking the answers, Ye Linlang had an inexplicable confidence that she would be able to enter the top 15!
…
Yin Zihan did not expect Ye Linlang, this little girl, to be so stubborn. Hey, hey, it was rare for him to show such kindness, okay?!
Meanwhile, Ye Linlang was worried about her final results and ranking. She did not have the time to waste so much time talking to Yin Zihan.
She looked at the door anxiously. For the first time, she felt that the homeroom teacher was so, so slow!
Why was she not here yet?!
Just as Ye Linlang was looking forward to it by the window, a woman in a green dress finally caught her eyes.
It was the homeroom teacher of grade one Cla.s.s A, Teacher Zhao.
Ye Linlang was delighted and quickly hid her head back into the window. Most of the chattering in the cla.s.s was drowned out.
“Teacher Zhao is here! Everyone, stop arguing! Quiet!”
…
The homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhao, walked to the podium in her high heels. She was holding a wine-red laptop in her hand.
Ling Yun High School had a unified laptop. As the apple system was not as compatible with all kinds of office software as windows, the school had a decent domestic brand.
“Everyone is very well-behaved today! Very good!”
Teacher Zhao placed the wine-red laptop on the table. She looked at the youthful faces of grade one Cla.s.s A with a smile, and her heart was filled with joy.
“I believe everyone is also very curious about the results of our cla.s.s’s monthly exam this time, right?”
For the first time, the entire cla.s.s nodded their heads in unison, and their voices almost broke through the clouds!
“Yes! I’m dying of curiosity! Teacher, quickly use the projector to display the rankings!”
Teacher Zhao spoke unhurriedly, her voice slowly rising in the cla.s.sroom.
“Before we display the entire cla.s.s’s rankings, first of all, I want to praise a student! Our cla.s.s has obtained the first place in the grade this time, and they are 50 points ahead of the second place!”
