Liang Chen's ranking had already been highlighted by him with a red watercolor pen. He looked down and it was clear at a glance.
Liang Chen's ranking went from 10th place in the class to 40th place in the cohort. The second time, he was 13th place in the class and 56th place in the cohort. By the third monthly exam, he was already in the 80th place in the cohort.
When Liang Chen first entered the class, he was ranked fifth in the class and was the 26th in the grade. The head teacher had high hopes for him. He thought that Liang Chen would become one of the best students in the class, but he didn't expect that Liang Chen's exam results would get worse and worse. Zheng Jiayu was shocked to see this.
Zheng Jiayu knew that Liang Chen was very smart. When he was in junior high, Liang Chen's academic results were average for the first two years. After being reprimanded by her in the last year, he worked hard and got into the cohort. His middle school exam results even surpassed He Jiujiu, who had always been better than him.
However, because Zheng Jiayu knew her son, she knew that Liang Chen's grades were getting worse because Liang Chen did not focus on his studies at all.
However, the college entrance examination was not the middle school exam.
If Liang Chen's middle school exam results were bad, Zheng Jiayu could still spend money and find connections to get him into a good high school.
However, if he did not do well in the college entrance examination, his life would be over.
Even if he could retake the third year of high school, the results would be the same if he did not build a good foundation.
Zheng Jiayu could ignore Liang Chen's middle school exam results because she knew that she could help Liang Chen. However, she did not dare to gamble with Liang Chen's future because she could not afford to lose.
Because of her panic, Zheng Jiayu's forehead was instantly covered in a layer of dense sweat. Just as she was panicking, she suddenly saw the name on the third and fourth report cards. The name on the top was somewhat familiar.
"Why are He Jiujiu's results so good?"
In Zheng Jiayu's impression, although He Jiujiu's results were not bad, they were all average. They were good, but they were definitely not amazing. Other than the first time she was ranked fifth in the class, the other two times she was ranked first in the class. Moreover, based on the cohort rankings, she was ranked third in the cohort once and second in the cohort once.
When Zheng Jiayu suddenly mentioned Jiujiu's name, the head teacher immediately said proudly, "Do you know He Jiujiu from our class?"
Zheng Jiayu squeezed out an awkward smile. "His parents and I are colleagues. We live in the same neighborhood. Our houses are opposite each other, so we are familiar with each other."
When she heard that Zheng Jiayu lived in the same neighborhood as Jiujiu and that the two houses were right across from each other, the homeroom teacher's expression instantly changed.
Logically speaking, Liang Chen and He Jiujiu lived in the same neighborhood and lived opposite each other. They should have a good relationship. Why did the relationship between the two of them look like two blocks of ice? Neither of them cared about the other.
However, it was not appropriate for her to say this to Zheng Jiayu. She smiled and said, "Jiujiu is the hope of our class and even our school."
The homeroom teacher said with a gratified expression, "Although her results in the middle school examination were average, she has always persevered in her studies. She improved a lot in the first monthly exam. Later, she took one step at a time. Although she was only second in the cohort this time, she was three points less than the first in the cohort. I believe that in the near future, He Jiujiu will definitely become the first in our school."
The homeroom teacher looked proud as if Jiujiu was his child. His proud look made Zheng Jiayu jealous.
When school started, Liang Chen's academic results were clearly better than Jiujiu's. Why was she slowly losing to Jiujiu?
It was fine without a comparison. Once there was a comparison, Zheng Jiayu's heart became even more sour.
Zheng Jiayu suppressed the sourness in his heart and asked with a smile, "Jiujiu improved so quickly. Is there any trick?"
"There really is a trick." The homeroom teacher sighed, looking disappointed.
The trick to Jiujiu's improvement was Qiao Chen, but the problem was that this trick was only for Jiujiu alone. No one else could use it.
Hearing the homeroom teacher say that there really was a trick, Zheng Jiayu was instantly energized. He smiled and asked, "What trick can only be used by her and no one else?"
The homeroom teacher smiled bitterly. "To be honest, Jiujiu can improve so quickly all because of our school's top student, Qiao Chen, who is tutoring her."
After saying that, the homeroom teacher didn't forget to tell Zheng Jiayu about Qiao Chen. "Qiao Chen is a very outstanding student in our school and even in our province. Every time he participates in a competition, he can fight for the school's honor. He is the key to whether our school can be the top student in the college entrance examination in two years."
To be able to become the top student in this key high school, he naturally wasn't a simple character. But Zheng Jiayu didn't expect him to be so amazing, especially when it came from the homeroom teacher's mouth in such a proud tone. He couldn't help but feel jealous, but he said, "Since he is so amazing and can tutor Jiujiu from the twenties to second in the school, why can't he tutor a few more people?"
Zheng Jiayu's words were the thoughts of all the teachers in the school.
But the problem was that Qiao Chen couldn't!
A genius like Qiao Chen was guaranteed to be the top student in any school.
He chose to come to their school because their school offered the most benefits out of all the people who came to recruit him.
To the school, Qiao Chen wasn't a student. He was a big boss. Didn't you see how the homeroom teacher smiled apologetically after being called a fool by him?
With such a big boss, it was fine if he didn't force others, but who would dare to force him?
Moreover, the homeroom teacher had talked to Qiao Chen's homeroom teacher before. The homeroom teacher said that Qiao Chen said that Jiujiu wasn't stupid. In other words, Jiujiu's rapid improvement in her grades wasn't all due to Qiao Chen. It could also be because Jiujiu was very smart to begin with.
She didn't suddenly become outstanding, but she started working hard.
Thinking of this, the homeroom teacher gave up on the idea of asking Jiujiu to tutor the students in the class.
Now that Zheng Jiayu brought it up, the homeroom teacher started to explain. "Qiao Chen's situation is very special. He's a special talent that our school spent money to recruit. It's his freedom to tutor whoever he wants, but the school can't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Also, he tutors He Jiujiu because they're a couple. Qiao Chen also said that He Jiujiu is a genius like him, so he's willing to tutor Jiujiu."
The homeroom teacher's words were very tactful. She was just short of directly telling Zheng Jiayu that Qiao Chen wouldn't tutor an idiot.
Zheng Jiayu wasn't stupid. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind the homeroom teacher's words. His face turned a little green, but he still smiled and said that he understood.
After Zheng Jiayu returned home from school, he waited for Liang Chen to come back.
