Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 464: Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die (21)
This result made the parents overjoyed. Just over a month ago, it was hard for the two kids to pass their math exams, and now they have directly become the top math students in the class.
During tonight’s tutoring session, the two kids were obviously overly excited: one kept asking Jiang Lai where the national aircraft carrier construction base was, and the other was occasionally distracted, playing with a cellphone.
Jiang Lai didn’t say much at the moment but instead gave them a test paper she prepared before finishing the tutoring.
"Set an alarm for an hour and forty-five minutes; it’s all about self-discipline. I’ll grade it for you tomorrow."
The next day, Jiang Lai arrived, and the parents were already waiting at the door. Seeing Jiang Lai, they eagerly approached to ask.
"Teacher Jiang, these two kids didn’t even leave the study for lunch today; they are still locked inside. What’s going on?"
"Nothing serious, they’ve realized reality."
"Huh? Why don’t you come in and have a look? They don’t speak to us about anything; we still need you to take the lead."
Jiang Lai went inside to find the two kids sitting back-to-back at the desk with their heads down, not speaking.
"Take out yesterday’s test paper."
Neither of them moved, but the older brother handed over his test paper. Jiang Lai graded it within less than a minute and gave him a bright red score.
Seventy-two.
"And you, younger brother? Even if you don’t hand it over, I roughly know how many marks you can get because as my students, I understand your level better than your math teacher."
The younger brother turned around, handed the test paper over with red eyes.
After grading, the result was not impressive.
Seventy-six.
Jiang Lai’s expression remained unchanged, but the brother asked quietly.
"Teacher, have we disappointed you?"
"No."
Jiang Lai replied calmly, tied her hair back, opened a small blackboard, and sat in front of them.
"Because I knew how many marks you could get."
After speaking, Jiang Lai went through her test paper from beginning to end. In the last half hour, she looked at the brothers.
"I allow you to take pride after a small success, but don’t stop writing while you are proud. If Tsinghua is your Everest to climb, that is where you are now."
Jiang Lai drew a tall peak and marked two red dots at the lowest part of the base of the mountain,
"What is straightforward in front of you are the eighty thousand competitors taking the high school entrance exam with you in this city. Even if you become the top thousand among these eighty thousand and get into the city’s best high school, you think you’ve succeeded. Yet, you’ll realize your competitors have increased from eighty thousand to four hundred thousand.
Your goals don’t allow any mistakes along the path because you’ve never been naturally gifted athletes, but you have one thing better than others—you’ve met me."
Jiang Lai tapped on the blackboard.
"Listen to me, do what I tell you, and I guarantee your dreams will come true."
"Youth is not afraid of the long years; glory is still ahead."
"Forget about this test paper today, but remember what I told you."
When Jiang Ci came over in the evening, the study was unusually quiet.
The twins sat back-to-back, and on the wall in front of each of them was a calligraphic line.
"Youth is not afraid of the long years...
Glory is still ahead."
Jiang Ci silently read, almost immediately thinking of Jiang Lai.
She was indeed good at encouraging learning, seeming like the brothers had suddenly grown up; this was visible just from their eyes.
"Did your little teacher give you a test paper? Let me take a look."
Seeing this self-prepared math test paper, Jiang Ci’s eyes shimmered with admiration.
This test paper could be used as a mock exam for all of the seventh grade, without a single flaw.
All within the scope of knowledge points, each question intricately crafted to ensure diligent students got marks while those inattentive would face hard-learned lessons.
Creating this test paper signifies a complete understanding of the entire junior high school curriculum.
Jiang Lai, just how far can you go?
While ensuring high-intensity learning of the science class, you have time to thoroughly study junior high research, achieving excellence in everything and impressing everyone.
Even someone as arrogant as Jiang Ci had to admit that few can match Jiang Lai’s attention to perfection in handling tasks.
Meanwhile, an ever-stronger sense of crisis and desire for conquest made his blood boil.
Keeping Jiang Zhen Sheng in a half-dead state was right; this enabled Jiang Lai to safely strive, giving himself a fiercely competitive encounter.
——
The results of the midterm exams were out.
With each major exam, the school rank fluctuates, prompting class adjustments accordingly.
However, the fluctuations are usually minor, mostly involving the top students in regular classes and the stragglers in advanced classes shifting frequently.
The ranking list was directly posted on the scarlet wall beneath the school building, listing from the first to the one hundred fiftieth in both science and humanities classes, basically the ones who can stay in classes one, two, and three.
Top students’ ranks hardly shifted, whereas many new names popped up at the tail.
After the break, all students crowded to check it. Making it into the top fifty meant entering advanced classes, so everyone was most concerned about student changes in these classes.
"I’m doomed; I’ve dropped five places to rank fifty-fifth..."
"Crap, I’m thirty-eighth! How did I fall so much?"
"Our top students are still stable; the top three haven’t changed for ages, no suspense at all."
First Fu Ming, second Qiao Chuweng, third Jiang Ci—the top three positions have been jumbled amongst these three since freshman year without any changes.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! I see someone! Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, look! Jiang Lai!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, is there another Jiang Lai at our school? Science class fourth-fifth in the grade! How did she achieve that?!"
The arts students mostly just joined the fun, but seeing a familiar name, everyone was stirred.
After all, this Jiang Lai was an ordinary underachiever in the arts class two months ago. Ever since she started pulling books instead of mirrors from her backpack, her results skyrocketed faster than cheating!
Shen Weizhou quietly watched Jiang Lai’s name, pursing his thin lips, his gaze deepening.
Her pace quickened, seemingly leaving him behind.
"Gosh!!!"
In a corner, Tang Song exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost.
"Arts class, second place, Shen Weizhou?!!"
"I must be seeing things, for sure! What a joke, my Brother Zhou would never stoop to appear here!"
"Shen. Weizhou. Three characters, not one mistake."
"Brother Zhou, come here! I need an explanation; have you been secretly studying behind my back?"
