Class 36, Grade 12?

Everyone was shocked when Jiang Nian said this.

There are a total of 37 classes in the senior year of the English-medium high school, excluding the top-performing classes, which are classes 1 to 36.

Class 36 is the worst of all the classes.

The worst in every sense.

The students' average grades were the lowest, the teachers assigned were all of the lowest professional titles, and the classroom facilities and environment were the worst.

Because Ying-Chung is a private school, its resources and sponsorships are naturally geared towards high-achieving students; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to rank students into classes based on their exam scores.

All the students were working incredibly hard to improve their grades, hoping to get into a higher-ranked class.

Who would want to go to a bad class if they could go to a good one?

What's more, it's like going from the best class to the worst class.

"Is that alright, Principal?" Jiang Nian asked again.

Principal Feng heard about what Jiang Nian had gone through and saw how Wu Ming treated her.

"Of course, Jiang Nian, you can go to whichever class you want."

Upon hearing that Jiang Nian wanted to transfer classes, Han Xu couldn't sit still any longer and immediately chimed in, "Then I'm going to Class 36 too! I can't stand this lousy top-performing class anymore!"

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Jiang Ranran and Tang Qiuyue, expressing his disdain.

Wu Ming panicked when he heard that Han Xu was also transferring classes.

It was because the young master of the Han family was in the top-performing class that the Han family promised to sponsor one million yuan in class fees for the new semester.

With Han Xu gone, won't their class's new semester's funds go down the drain?

Wu Ming was in a hurry and was about to speak up to stop Han Xu when he saw the class monitor, Chi Lin, also speak up.

Her voice was calm: "I also want to leave the top class and go to class 36."

What?!

Wu Ming almost slapped himself.

Chi Lin, the undisputed number one student at Yingzhong High School since entering high school in the first year, can raise the average score of an entire class by himself, and can choose whichever university he wants to be admitted to.

In any class, they would be the most coveted student by the homeroom teacher!

Chi Lin is actually going to follow too?

Chi Lin stood tall and straight, his demeanor as upright and aloof as a bamboo pine after a snowfall. He said in a flat tone, "I don't think I really like the atmosphere in this class."

When Jiang Nian was framed by Tang Qiuya, not a single classmate stood up to tell the truth, and they just watched as Tang Qiuya twisted the facts.

Whether they didn't want to get involved and get into trouble, or they were afraid of offending Tang Qiuyue, these were the choices these people made.

Going to another class was Chi Lin's own choice; he just didn't like it.

“This… Jiang Nian, Chi Lin, and Han Xu, please reconsider…”

At this moment, Wu Ming was filled with deep regret!

If he had known Jiang Nian was such a brilliant genius, and if he had known that Han Xu and Chi Lin would follow her after Jiang Nian left, he wouldn't have tried to smooth things over in the first place; he should have investigated the matter thoroughly from the beginning.

It's too late to say anything now!

Principal Feng took a deep breath and said in a stern voice, "The school wants to respect the students' personal choices. I will talk to the homeroom teacher of Class 36 and transfer the three of you to his class."

He then looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Jiang Nian, come to my office for a moment."

Jiang Nian's expression remained calm. She responded and followed Principal Feng.

Today, the grand drama of the top-performing class has finally come to an end.

The students from each class who came to watch the spectacle were filled with excitement at having stumbled upon some juicy gossip, and they went back to their own classes to tell them about this major news.

The reporter, Ms. Xu, never expected that her trip today would be so worthwhile. With twists and turns, she actually uncovered the true identity of the genius girl J from seven years ago.

Go back and write an article; it'll definitely go viral!

In the classroom, Jiang Ranran's face was deathly pale, her eyes wide as she bit her lip hard: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

Tang Qiuyue was speechless; she had never suffered such a blow in her entire life.

Jiang Nian hadn't written an essay before, saying it was enough. Turns out she wasn't just showing off; she really didn't need to write one—her score was high enough to crush hers…

Just then, some unidentified voices came from outside the classroom.

"So, now that Tang Qiuyue has lost to Jiang Nian, should she be kicked out of Yingzhong, or should Jiang Ranran be kicked out?"

Jiang Ranran bit her lip and immediately said, "It was Tang Qiuya who lost the bet with Jiang Nian, not me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Qiuyue gritted her teeth and stood up: "Fine! I, Tang Qiuyue, am willing to accept defeat."

"But Jiang Ranran, remember this: I'm leaving, and you won't have an easy time either!"

Meanwhile, in the principal's office.

Jiang Nian sat on the sofa, and Principal Feng sat opposite her.

Seeing the child from his memories now grown into a graceful, beautiful, and aloof young woman, Principal Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Xiao Nian, I heard you returned from the US three months ago, and your adoptive father..."

Principal Feng still remembers the first time he met that man who controlled the lifeline of the M country's underworld yet remained hidden in the shadows. The man sat in a wheelchair in the shadows, his aura so powerful it was chilling.

Through the monitor, watching the ten-year-old girl fight in the arena where wild beasts roam, killing people and killing wild animals, her body covered in blood, his eyes gleamed with admiration.

It felt like looking at a work of art that you had carved yourself.

A rose that I raised myself.

[A-Nian also has a great talent for math. I found several top mathematicians to teach her, and they all say she's a genius.]

[Then I'd appreciate it if Principal Feng could take her to some competitions so she can have some fun. Afterwards, your career will also take off.]

...

Jiang Nian's eyelids twitched suddenly at the mention of that man.

It was that familiar feeling again, like being suffocated by a dangerous, venomous snake that was flicking its tongue, making it hard to breathe.

"He died, so I returned to Yao County."

Jiang Nian's face was indifferent.

It's like talking about the death of an insignificant person.

It didn't even mention that the man was killed by a bomb she made herself and placed in his car.

"It's good to come back, at least you're in your familiar country," Principal Feng said earnestly. "Xiao Nian, your father didn't treat you well, and you don't have any other relatives in Jiangcheng."

"Although I now live in Beijing, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell Uncle Feng, and he will find someone to help you."

“Don’t worry, Uncle Feng,” Jiang Nian looked up, “I’ve found my grandfather. He’s in Jiangcheng. I also have seven older brothers.”

"Really?" Principal Feng's eyes lit up. "You've suffered so much since you were little. Uncle Feng is truly happy for you..."

As Jiang Nian walked out of the principal's office, she passed by the top-performing class without even glancing inside.

I walked straight toward Class 36, which was located on the other side of the corridor, directly opposite the top-performing class.

Just as Jiang Nian reached the door of Class 36, before she could even push it open, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A young teacher came out to greet her, holding her hand tightly, seemingly on the verge of tears.

"Jiang Nian, you must be Jiang Nian!"
