She grabbed her wallet and ran out the door.

Jiang Xiaoli first went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop and pestered them relentlessly until she bought a small scale that the shop used specifically for weighing medicine.

After searching around but not finding a place to buy measuring cups, she simply bought a bottle of beverage in a clear plastic bottle from Aunt Wang's convenience store at the street corner.

When she got home, she poured the drink into a glass of water, peeled off the plastic wrapping from the bottle, and used a ruler to draw markings on the transparent bottle.

"Mom, when you make the steamed buns again, just weigh and write down all the ingredients you need!"

Li Guizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been cooking for so many years, and she really just added seasonings by feel. Being so rigid and methodical was really making things difficult for her.

After solving her mother's problem and having dinner, she went back to her room to do her homework.

There was very little homework last week; the teachers were understanding that school started only after they had given us a break.

This week, all the teachers put in a lot of effort. Even though it's only been a few days since school started, the homework assigned by the teachers kept her working until 9:30 pm!

She leaned back in her chair and stretched. "Just so I can do less homework, Teacher Chen, you have to give me some more help!"

She can't wait to be tested by all her teachers!

Chen didn't keep her waiting for long.

The mastermind behind this was still Teacher Liu.

In the afternoon, in the office, Teacher Liu saw several teachers flipping through lesson plans and preparing questions.

But since school just started recently, it's quite obvious who this question is for.

His eyes darted around. "Teacher Zhao, Teacher Chen, you guys are all giving Jiang Xiaoli some questions, right? I suggest you increase the difficulty a bit."

Chen looked up at him and said with a smile, "Little Liu, what's wrong? Did you give her a question that was too easy and she passed? Do you want us to make things difficult for her?"

Teacher Liu touched his nose. "That's not true at all. The questions I set were really difficult. They were all variations of the college entrance examination questions in recent years, and some were even more difficult than the college entrance examination. This girl still lost two points, and those two points were because she was lazy and didn't write out the experimental steps."

Mr. Li, the chemistry teacher, gaped in surprise. "No way! We all know how difficult your questions are! No, no, I have to delete this set of questions and make a new one!"

The other teachers reacted similarly to Teacher Li, but Teacher Liu's words really ignited the competitive spirit of all the teachers.

How capable can a first-year high school student be? It's no wonder they stumped her with those questions!

Even Chen Zhe, who always valued Jiang Xiaoli highly, quietly took out his treasured collection of math problems, intending to find a few challenging questions that would test his knowledge of first-year high school students...

If Jiang Xiaoli knew about Teacher Liu's actions, she would have to give him a thumbs up and say, "You're really ruthless!"

The next day, Jiang Xiaoli was called out by Chen during morning reading.

"The teachers for all subjects have prepared the questions. You can do the tests in the office this morning."

It wasn't that he wanted Jiang Xiaoli to get special treatment; it was just that all the teachers had racked their brains to come up with a set of difficult problems, and now they couldn't wait to see how this girl would be stumped!
