Chapter 82: A Good Cold Cooking
Principal Chang was the only one in his office.
After Li Ye entered, he was given a seat.
"Li Ye! I looked at your preliminary exam results this year. I was shocked and surprised!"
Li Ye didn't say anything.
Principal Chang glanced at Li Ye meaningfully and said, "There are eight people in your study group, and six of them are in the top ten in the class.
There were even two people who scored over 400 points. Is there any secret?"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "It should be this year's pre-exam question, which is relatively simple!"
Principal Chang frowned, not knowing what to say.
Very simple. You said this year's questions are very simple?
Six people suddenly jumped from outside the top 20 to the top ten, and even took the first and second places. Do you think it was just because the questions were easy?
Why don’t we find it simple?
So the County No. 2 Middle School, which has professional teachers like us, is not as good as your spontaneously organized small study room?
Principal Chang secretly took a deep breath and said, "Do you think the questions this year are easy? If so, how come you scored the least?"
Li Ye said calmly: "I'm too lazy to do it, because the preliminaries are just qualifying rounds, there's no need to get such a high score. If I had the time to do the questions, I might as well think about the outline and write a few pages of the novel!"
“.”
[If your grandfather wasn't the director, I would have slapped you right now. Too lazy to do it? Why aren't you too lazy to eat? ]
Principal Chang picked up the teacup and drank some water to calm himself.
"Okay, even if you're too lazy to do it, if you try your best, how much can you get?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"You're just guessing?"
Li Ye tilted his head and smiled slightly as he watched Principal Chang holding the teacup, blowing the tea leaves while sipping slowly.
Principal Chang had just taken a sip of water, and before it even reached his throat, Li Ye "seized the opportunity" to report a score.
"I can get 600 points."
“Puff~”
"Cough cough cough~, I cough cough cough"
Li Ye spread his hands and said with an unfailingly honest look: "Look, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you!"
"I I. Ahem."
Principal Chang coughed violently, pointed at Li Ye, and finally shouted a word after a long while.
"Fuck~"
Don't think that educated people are not rude. The principals nowadays all came from the fighting era. If they don't have some fighting history, they would be embarrassed to sit on this chair.
Without some special skills, can you control the situation?
Principal Chang's chest rose and fell violently.
Li Ye sat quietly.
After a long time, Principal Chang sat down quietly.
"I really don't believe you can get 600 points, but you may get 400 points. You should trust my experience and vision."
"You scored 305 points this time, which is a big improvement over last year. You are sure to get into a technical secondary school.
I know you are a good novelist, but if you stop writing novels for a while and focus all your attention on the college entrance examination, it is not impossible for you to get into a junior college."
Li Ye felt Principal Chang's "earnest advice" and knew that what Principal Chang said made sense.
He even considered pausing the work of "Deserter in the Fire" to catch his breath and take a break.
but
[Those readers are so enthusiastic! ]
Over the past few months, Li Ye has been sending emails every ten days or so to ensure that those special readers in Beijing can see the serialization of "Deserter of the War".
And every time I publish an article, I will definitely receive enthusiastic feedback four or five days later.
Some said it was well written, some said it was not written enough, and some complained that Li Ye was too evasive and did not write deeply enough.
But without exception, a similar paragraph would be written at the end of the feedback letter.
[I am looking forward to the following stories, but the college entrance examination must be the most important. ]
Even a reader from the power system once asked whether he would like to study at a technical secondary school in the power system.
You said that with such good readers, would Li Ye dare to stop updating?
Does he have the nerve to stop updating?
No less updates!
Seeing that Li Ye remained silent, Principal Chang was really helpless.
If it was any other student, he wouldn't have to do anything, as the Dean of Studies Tang Feiyu would have been able to keep him in line.
The principals these days are all “masters of boxing” and they can beat the children until they cry for their parents.
But Tang Feiyu refused to take the job.
Why?
Not to mention that he has a grandfather who is a director, just look at Li Ye himself. He is now a "writer", not an ordinary student.
It has been several months since the publication of "Insidious", but the supply to the county Xinhua Bookstore is still tight. Only two batches arrived, and they were quickly sold out.
Ask the Xinhua Bookstore in the city for books, they still don't have enough! I'm giving you two batches of books from Qingshui County, it's because the publisher specifically asked me to do so.
How popular is this sales?
Several teachers who have studied related fields privately whispered that if Li Ye continued at this pace, he might be able to join the Provincial Writers Association.
So, one must be crazy to deal with Li Ye!
Principal Chang finally said helplessly: "Even if the test questions were simple this time, Jiang Xiaoyan still ranked second in the county! With such a good result, why don't you share your experience? Friendship is the key among classmates."
Li Ye rolled his eyes and said directly: "Principal, you have to ask Jiang Xiaoyan about this! What's the point of asking me?"
“.”
Principal Chang was stunned for two seconds, then became angry and went berserk again.
"What's the point of me asking you? You are just a thief. If I don't ask you, will I ask those minions? What's the point of me asking you? Huh?"
"Zeitou" is the dialect of Qingshui County, which refers to the leader of a group of naughty kids who always cause trouble.
Of course Li Ye did not accept this title.
He asked back arrogantly: "Principal, I don't accept what you said about me. I didn't lead my classmates to steal or do anything, and I didn't lead my classmates to fight in the street.
Third, for the sake of class harmony, I took the initiative to avoid conflicts and find my own place to ensure a normal learning environment for my classmates. How could I become a thief? "
Principal Chang, who was still angry, sucked his teeth and his cheeks trembled.
He now felt that he was not facing an eighteen or nineteen-year-old student, but a cunning hunter.
Is Li Ye a good student?
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Anyway, no one in school says he is a good kid.
But they really didn't cause any trouble!
Last month, the South City Police Station came to investigate and found that a student had jumped into the agricultural machinery station in the middle of the night and pushed the tractor that had just been repaired against the wall.
It was a loss of several hundred dollars! Principal Chang had to persuade them to calm down.
A few days ago, a group of high school students had a fight with people outside the school on the north street. He brought seven or eight teachers to provide reinforcements and thus avoided a major disaster.
But what about Li Ye?
There was just a small conflict in class, but I took the initiative to avoid it.
It's hard to find fault with you, what should you do?
Forget it, let’s not do it.
Li Ye has already said that he "took the initiative to avoid" and he has already expressed his dissatisfaction.
When we had a conflict with Xia Yue and the others, why didn't your teacher say anything about "student love"? Did he mean we were raised by a stepmother?
Okay, we hid out by ourselves, and now we have achieved some results. Are you thinking of your own son now?
Principal Chang closed his eyes and meditated for a few seconds.
When he opened his eyes again, he no longer had the same thoughts as before.
"Well, all roads lead to Rome. If you want to be a writer, it's your freedom. But you can't let your writing delay Wen Leyu's career!
I heard that you often ask Wen Leyu to copy novel manuscripts for you? Look, this time she only scored 306, and her English score was 26. What's going on? "
What's going on? Just control your score like me!
But the little girl is so cute. You have a mother who is an English teacher, and your English score is only 26 points. Are you kidding a fool?
Perhaps, Wen Leyu is not trying to fool someone, she is just too lazy to care about other people's thoughts.
Li Ye, if you ask me to control the points, then I will do so. As for what others think or believe it or not, who cares?
"Principal Chang, I think you should ask Teacher Ke! I can't figure out what's going on with a girl."
“.”
"Okay, you go back first! Study hard, strive to be successful in both fields, write more excellent literary works, and get a better score in the college entrance examination."
Li Ye went out.
A few minutes later, Teacher Luo, Teacher Hu, and Teacher Liu, the head teacher of the third repeat class, walked in.
Teacher Liu asked first: "Principal, what's going on?"
Principal Chang said: "It's no problem. Their study groups have a good learning environment and the students work hard, so their grades will naturally go up."
"Impossible," Teacher Liu said firmly, "I know Jiang Xiaoyan's previous grades. This time she ranked second in the county. It is absolutely impossible without exclusive review materials."
Principal Chang glanced at him and said, "Even if they have exclusive review materials, so what? If they don't want to give it to you, are you going to snatch it away?"
Teacher Liu looked unhappy, but still insisted: "I am doing this for the school's performance! Principal, why don't you ask again? Li Ye is a selfless kid. I heard that their study group eats meat every day, all of which is his royalties."
But Principal Chang suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you want to ask, go ahead and ask. I can't afford to lose face. Besides, where were you when Lao Luo was collecting money to buy review materials? You must be getting angry now."
Teacher Liu was embarrassed and didn't say anything.
When Xia Yue asked Lu Jingyao to buy college entrance examination materials, she had to pay for it. Otherwise, how could Lu Jingyao, a poor man, buy the extremely popular Haidian Teachers’ Training School materials?
It cost several dozen yuan in total. Teacher Luo paid, and the students in Class 1 contributed money, but Teacher Liu's Class 3 did not pay.
I thought that when the test papers came, everyone would just copy them, but Xia Yue formed a "book protection team"
People in my class can't even copy it! How can it be your turn?
Although Teacher Liu was angry, he did not bring himself to look for Teacher Luo.
But he never expected that the review materials would be so useful. This time, Xia Yue scored 404 points and Jin Shengli scored 375 points.
What level is this?
The level of two junior college students, or even one junior college student and one undergraduate student!
Everyone knows that information is important.
But isn’t free information more attractive?
Now that I can’t eat it anymore, I can only ask Principal Chang for help, hoping to get a pill of regret.
"Xiao Luo, I remember Li Ye mentioned to you about transferring schools last year?"
“.”
Teacher Luo was stunned and nodded quickly.
"These children must be kept. If one is missing, I will hold you accountable."
Principal Chang looked at the other two teachers who were unwilling to give up, and said gloomily: "There is only more than a month left before the college entrance examination. It's too late to stir up trouble now!
I warn you, if you dare to mess around and affect the children's grades, I will not forgive you."
Principal Chang’s last words made the three teachers feel an eerie chill.
It was obvious that the school would have a good harvest this year. If five or six students could graduate from college, he, as the principal who had always been second best, would surely gain great fame.
As for the opinions of several class teachers, please keep them to yourself!
Several teachers walked out with their heads down. Teacher Liu suddenly turned around and said, "Principal, can you talk to Teacher Ke and ask her to buy some college entrance examination materials for us? We will pay for it, at a high price."
Principal Chang didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly. In less than five seconds, Teacher Liu left dejectedly.
"Alas~"
"You still don't understand that the era of selfless mutual assistance is over."
It’s not that Principal Chang doesn’t want to help the students, it’s just that he is no longer so comfortable communicating with Teacher Ke.
Parcels from the capital city were constantly being sent here, and phone calls from the capital city were continuously being made here.
The school's phone number is in the principal's office, and all of them are calls from the XX Department and the XX Committee. He is just a small principal and cannot afford to offend them.
At the beginning, Principal Chang was still in the office, listening attentively. But now, when Teacher Ke answered the phone, he was too embarrassed to stay in the office.
"Ah~~"
[If Mr. Ke really goes back to work, then Li Ye is really good at making things worse]
(One of my high school teachers once said that one of his classmates was a top student. He ignored all questions from his classmates, refused to participate in any activities that would interfere with his studies, and kept to himself. His classmates looked down on him.
Later, he passed the entrance exam to a key university and left. Many years later, when I invited him to a class reunion, he refused to come. These words were said with contempt.)
