"Having said that, I don't have much to say. My daughter can just take the exam." Even with that, Pei Xiao still felt uncomfortable. He'd thought this was a small matter. With his reputation and connections with Old Zhang, it should have been a matter of minutes. Yet, such a small matter had been fussed over, and their close relationship hadn't made a difference. He couldn't help but look at his daughter with guilt.
Yu Zihan gave her father a reassuring smile. Seeing his daughter's smile, Pei Xiao's depression dissipated a lot.
Soon, Xiao Li walked in with Teacher Lin. Yu Zihan looked at Teacher Lin, who had short hair, a white Dacron short-sleeved shirt, and blue Decca trousers. She looked very capable.
"Principal Zhang, I'm in class. What do you want from me?" His tone was full of complaints.
"It's like this, there's a transfer student..." Principal Zhang was interrupted by Teacher Lin before he could finish his words.
"Principal Zhang, why don't you assign this transfer student to another class? You don't know the situation in our class. What are you thinking of assigning someone to my class at this critical moment?" Teacher Lin's words embarrassed Principal Zhang. Pei Xiao now had some understanding for his old friend; he had been a punching bag. He looked at him with pity.
"It needs to be assessed. Don't I know how important this matter is?" Principal Zhang lost face in front of his old friend, and his tone suddenly became bad.
"An assessment? That's fine. It'll just take up a few hours of my time. I'll have no classes after this one." She looked at her watch.
"Do the exercises here at nine o'clock. I will bring the questions over. I have to teach now. See you later." Teacher Lin said and left without saying a word to Principal Zhang.
Several people watched Teacher Lin come and go in a hurry, and the father and daughter looked at Principal Zhang.
Pei Xiao: This old friend is such a coward. The principal of this middle school is being bullied like this.
Yu Zihan: Are the teachers in this school so dedicated?
Principal Zhang: I'm so embarrassed, but for the sake of the admission rate, let's not say anything. Just let your own teacher spoil you.
Several people sat there staring at each other, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before nine o’clock.
After a while, Teacher Lin came in with a stack of test papers in her hands.
"I..." Yu Zihan was shocked when she saw the thick test paper. This test was too abnormal. Was there so much test required?
"I'll give you two and a half hours. Do as much as you can." Teacher Lin put the pile of test papers on the table and handed Yu Zihan a few blank test papers.
Yu Zihan finally calmed down after seeing the test papers. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Yu Zihan sat down, took out his stationery, and began to answer the questions seriously. Teacher Lin began to mark the pile of test papers. The two old friends felt like they were now an eyesore and unnecessary. They quietly pushed open the door and left.
The office was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of writing.
Teacher Lin was marking the test papers carefully, but her sharp eyes kept looking at the little girl in front of her.
She's calm and composed, with a strong mental balance. She answers the questions diligently, as evidenced by her hand speed. She has a solid grasp of the basics. She doesn't even have to think. Now it all depends on how she performs on the larger questions beyond the syllabus.
Yu Zihan answered the questions seriously, she didn't know that her performance was noticed by the sharp-eyed teacher Lin.
Yu Zihan started by answering the math test paper. When he saw the last two big questions, Yu Zihan was very glad that he had prepared for the exam in his space yesterday.
She quickly finished the math test, taking less than half an hour. Time was running out, so she took the English test and began answering. Teacher Lin came over, took the test, and began marking it. It was shocking until you saw it.
"All correct, all correct!" Teacher Lin looked at Yu Zihan with sparkling eyes.
"I've found a treasure this time," she muttered to herself. She was going to take another look. Some of the students were biased in certain subjects. She no longer had the heart to mark the papers. She stared at Yu Zihan. If Yu Zihan hadn't been answering the papers seriously, she would have been terrified by Teacher Lin's stare.
Half an hour passed, Yu Zihan put the finished test paper aside and started answering the Chinese question.
Teacher Lin picked up the English test paper and began to mark it, and was even more shocked.
Perfect score! Perfect score again! This time she was sure this was a good candidate.
The look she gave Yu Zihan turned into one of joy and fondness.
Even without the essay, the Chinese exam was still quite demanding, so Yu Zihan spent fifty minutes on it. Then she began the combined physics and chemistry papers. Although there was no such thing as a comprehensive science exam at the time, her school sometimes combined the two subjects for assessment.
After reviewing Yu Zihan's first three subjects, Teacher Lin has decided to accept this excellent student.
She waited quietly for Yu Zihan to answer. Her mood was extremely good. At this critical moment, God had sent her such an outstanding student.
While Teacher Lin's thoughts were wandering, Yu Zihan finished the test. She looked at her watch and saw ten minutes to two and a half hours.
"Teacher, I've finished answering." Yu Zihan took the initiative to remind Teacher Lin because she saw that Teacher Lin was distracted.
"Okay, okay." Yu Zihan pulled Teacher Lin's wild thoughts back to reality.
She said "good" three times in a row, then picked up Yu Zihan's test paper and looked at it.
Teachers who can be the head teacher of the graduating class in such a school are all very good in all subjects, so they are also familiar with marking test papers in other subjects.
As expected, it was another test paper with full marks.
"For four test papers, the time taken was cut in half compared to the normal time, and you got full marks on all of them. Yu Zihan, you did a great job, and I'll accept you," Teacher Lin said to Yu Zihan.
"The morning classes are about to end. You should report directly to Class 1 of Grade 9 in the afternoon. The first class in the afternoon happens to be my class." Teacher Lin decided whether she should stay or go, and then left happily with the test paper.
Seeing Principal Zhang standing in the corridor, Teacher Lin said, "Yu Zihan is a very outstanding student. I have accepted him. He will report to the class this afternoon."
"Okay, okay." When Principal Zhang heard Teacher Lin say this, he knew that Yu Zihan was really outstanding and it was not easy to be praised by Teacher Lin.
He looked at Pei Xiao and said, "Amazing! He gave birth to such an outstanding daughter without making any noise."
Pei Xiao didn't have time to deal with him right now. He hurried into the office and saw his daughter packing up her stationery.
"Zihan, you're accepted." His voice was filled with excitement, because his daughter's admission was entirely due to her own hard work and ability. He was proud of his daughter.
"Dad, we are waiting for my sister to come home together. You don't need to come to school in the afternoon. My sister and I can go together." Yu Zihan said considerately.
"Okay." Pei Xiao handed the transfer documents to Principal Zhang.
"Please take care of my daughter's matter." He shook hands with Principal Zhang and said goodbye.
The two walked towards the school gate.
