After class, students flocked to the classroom doors and the school bulletin board to check their class and grade rankings.
"Oh my god! Qiu Rui is first in the grade, with a score of 99 in Chinese, 100 in Math, 99 in English, 97 in History, 100 in Geography, and 100 in Biology. The total score in the six subjects is 595, making her first in the grade, more than 80 points higher than the second place.
How did Qiurui do in the exam? What's wrong with his brain? "When Wang Shi arrived at the bulletin board, he saw his friend Zhang Qiurui's name prominently listed at the top, and he was shocked and impressed.
“Find our location.
"Mingqi, you're in grade 15 with a total score of 485. I'm in grade 21 with a total score of 455. Wang Shi is in grade 66 with a total score of 332." Zhou Tan read out the rankings while searching for each other's names on the bulletin board, his face a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
When he found his name and saw the scores for each subject, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had done well.
"Who is this Zhang Qiurui? He's so amazing! He got full marks in three courses and a total of 595 points."
"If I could get half of Zhang Qiurui's score, I would be satisfied."
"Comparison is really frustrating. I see Zhang Qiurui never paying attention in class. She doesn't learn anything more than us, so how come her grades are so good?" Zhang Qiurui's classmates looked puzzled.
"Maybe they put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, but we just didn't see it." Another classmate analyzed.
"Well, after all, it turns out that we are not working hard enough." The student who asked the question initially reflected on himself.
........。
After Zhang Qiurui and Li Xin finished talking, they returned to the classroom.
As soon as she entered the classroom, all the classmates looked at her, and the originally bustling classroom suddenly became quiet.
Then, thunderous applause rang out. It seemed that Zhang Qiurui's performance conquered them.
In this era, good grades are the bottom line, which can make people take notice and even win respect.
Zhang Qiurui stood at the door of the classroom and was slightly stunned by the sudden applause. Then he reacted and waved to his classmates with a smile.
He walked to his seat calmly and confidently.
"Qiu Rui, you are awesome!" Wang Shi broke the silence, and other students echoed him. Some even gathered around and looked at Zhang Qiu Rui with envy.
Zhang Qiurui felt the recognition and warmth from his classmates, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Since then, the students in Class 1 have had a noticeable change in their attitude towards Zhang Qiurui.
The occasional indifferent glances from before have now been replaced by looks of admiration and friendliness.
During breaks, classmates often gathered around him to ask questions or share interesting stories, and Zhang Qiurui became the central figure that everyone was happy to approach.
Zhang Qiurui is also generous. Whenever someone comes to ask questions, she always patiently answers them one by one. Her problem-solving method is more concise and clear than that of the teacher, which makes it easy for people to understand and solve difficult problems.
Her smile is warm and sincere, as if it can dispel all the haze of study and make the atmosphere around her relaxed and happy.
Classmates found that Zhang Qiurui was not only excellent in her studies, but what was even more valuable was her helpful heart.
Under her leadership, the learning atmosphere in Class 1 became increasingly strong. Everyone began to help each other and make progress together. The overall performance of the class also improved significantly.
Teachers also began to pay more attention to this student who was both academically outstanding and humble and polite.
In this way, Zhang Qiurui not only became a learning role model for the class, but also became a ray of light in everyone's hearts, illuminating himself and warming others.
This is all later.
........
A month and a half passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was December. The weather finally got colder and everyone had to wear cotton-padded jackets.
Xingcheng, Xiaoxiang Magazine, in Xin Zhao’s office.
"Hey! This month's magazine sold more than 3,000 more copies than last month. What's going on?" Xin Zhao was counting the sales data of the latest issue, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face.
She carefully checked the numbers in each column, and after confirming that they were correct, her doubts grew stronger.
Their Xiaoxiang Magazine is a comprehensive magazine and does not favor any particular sector, so the monthly sales of the magazine are very stable, basically around 30,000 copies each month, and the sales are mainly in the Xiaoxiang Province. Basically, around 30,000 copies of the magazine are sold each month, which is only lower, not higher.
This month, we suddenly sold three thousand more copies. There must be something wrong somewhere.
Don't underestimate three thousand copies. A magazine costs 20 cents, so three thousand copies would be six hundred yuan.
She checked the distribution data of sales regions and was surprised to find that, except for the stable sales in Xiaoxiang Province, the order volume from several surrounding provinces increased significantly, and each of them contributed to the sales of thousands of copies this month.
"Xie Yu, have you received many letters from readers recently? Which section's content is mentioned most often?" Xin Zhao opened the office door and asked loudly to Xie Yu while standing at the door.
"Editor-in-chief, this month, we have received a significant increase in letters from readers, with over a hundred of them asking us to speed up the publication of The Fault in Our Stars so that we don't get stuck at the most critical point." Xie Yu saw that the letters from readers were all urging the magazine to update the subsequent chapters of the serialized novel "The Fault in Our Stars" as soon as possible.
Since the novel began serialization last month, its profound character portrayal and fascinating story development have quickly attracted the attention and love of a large number of readers.
It was she who discovered this novel, and Xie Yu was proud of its success.
"Oh? Is it "The Fault in Our Stars"? " Xin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and suddenly he understood something.
"Xie Yu, please contact the author of this novel immediately, tell her the good news, and ask her about her future creative plans.
Do you have any new works? If the quality is good, I will give you a good salary and increase the manuscript fee to 5 yuan per thousand words. "Xin Zhao's mind moved.
If the quality of Xiaoxiang Qingkong's work is not bad, Xin Zhao not only plans to increase her royalties, but also plans to cooperate with Xiaoxiang Qingkong for a long time.
Although their magazine has long-term cooperating authors, the quality of the novels they write is only average. To this day, their magazine does not have a single reputable author.
Xiaoxiang Qingkong's first novel, The Fault in Our Stars, resonated widely among readers with its unique emotional portrayal and profound thematic thinking, undoubtedly bringing new vitality and opportunities to the magazine.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu immediately nodded in agreement and turned around to carry out Xin Zhao's instructions.
There were no telephones in 1970, and telegrams were expensive, so we could only communicate by letter.
