However, when Ye Qingqing and the others returned to the teaching building, the class bell rang, so she had to go back to the classroom first and talk to Teacher Du after class.

It's the third period in the morning, math class. The math teacher came in carrying a stack of test papers. She's a very strict female teacher and also a 'snobbish' person, but she's fundamentally different from Ms. He.

The math teacher only liked students with good grades. As long as the grades were good, the student was adorable in her eyes. Whether the parents were officials or rich or not was irrelevant to her.

"This lesson will explain yesterday's test paper. The results were not ideal. These were all question types that I usually explain, but many students still couldn't answer them. I don't know where your minds were during class."

"You're in the classroom, but your minds are wandering outside. You're having a blast now, but if you don't get into university, you'll just be watching others have fun, stuck at the bottom of the pyramid, just stepping stones for others..."

After every exam, no matter the result, the math teacher would say this: no matter how good the score was, she was never satisfied, and then she would give me a dose of toxic motivational talk.

It's nothing more than that others get into prestigious universities, reach the pinnacle of life, and become the top figures in the pyramid, while those with poor grades who can't get in can only struggle to make ends meet and become stepping stones in the pyramid.

These words may not be pleasant to hear, but they are actually full of wisdom and truths about life!

Unfortunately, students at this stage simply cannot listen to advice. Only after entering society and experiencing the bitterness of life will they regret not having heeded their math teacher's toxic advice.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it!

The math teacher cleared his throat and said, "However, I want to give special praise to Ye Qingqing this time. She has made the most progress in the class. Last month, she was ranked 200th in the whole school in the mock exam. This time, she jumped to 135th, advancing 65 places. Especially in math, she achieved a score of 125 this time."

"I hope Ye Qingqing will remain humble and continue to maintain her composure. I also hope that other students can learn from Ye Qingqing. It's the last year, so those who need to focus should concentrate, grit their teeth and work hard for another year. Only then will your future be bright!"

The math teacher yelled in exasperation, her eyes practically blazing with anger as she looked at the students who refused to work hard. She wished she could be like Tang Sanzang and use a magic headband to curse these lazy students!

If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old!

The math teacher handed out the test papers, and Ye Qingqing received hers under her kind gaze, feeling quite flattered.

In both her past and present lives, she has never been so pampered by her math teacher!

The bright red '125' on the test paper made Ye Qingqing overjoyed. Out of a total score of 150, getting 125 was really good. She had never passed math before!

It was all thanks to Da Mutou. Lu Mo bought all her workbooks and explained many types of questions many times. Although she didn't understand them, she had a strong memory and memorized them by rote.

Big Wood deserves a lot of credit, but he promised her a reward if she did well on the exam.

Lu Mo didn't say what the specific reward would be, only that they would discuss it later.

Ye Qingqing had an idea and smiled secretly.

After class, Ye Qingqing went to Teacher Du's office and dragged Tang Yuanyuan along with her. Teacher Du had a private office, which was just right.

Teacher Du had been waiting for her for a while. The weather had turned cooler these past few days, and he had put on his longan-colored jacket early. He coughed occasionally and looked a little haggard.
