Chapter 7070 [Second update]
The teachers were actually nervous, but there was nothing they could do. They calmly took out their books, used the evening study time to teach, and said, "The results haven't come out yet, so let's go to class."
We waited anxiously for the whole day, but got this result. We could do nothing but calm down and attend class.
Only Jiang Bai was uneasy.
Jiang Bai's heart was originally too calm and his emotions were too stable, so stable that it seemed as if nothing could stir his mood.
But now he is different. He found that learning is so interesting. As long as he does not fall behind in his studies, he can continue to sell clothes in his sister's store. He earns 60 yuan a day!
During this period of time alone, he earned a total of one hundred and twenty dollars in his sister's shop!
Oh my god, that’s a lot!
So much so that he would even eat meat!
Finally he doesn't have to go hungry anymore!
Finally, he doesn't have to be woken up by growing pains every night! ~
His leg pain has finally stopped cramping! !
There is now a purpose to studying!
How could Jiang Baixin calm down? He is now like a little donkey with a carrot placed in front of him. He stretches his neck hard and chases the carrot hanging in front of him, which he can reach and take a bite of with his mouth. He enjoys eating it so much!
Active learning is completely different from passive learning in the past. Jiang Bo was discouraged by his physics teacher in the past. In fact, he was secretly averse to learning. In addition, he had always been looking forward to working after graduating from high school. To him, learning was just paying the money and he would suffer a loss if he didn't learn more. So he passively accepted the knowledge taught by the teachers.
It’s different now. He happily stretches his neck and keeps moving forward. Even in physics, which he originally didn’t want to learn, he made rapid progress after he was willing to learn it.
When the physics teacher saw Jiang Bai's test paper, his first reaction was that he had copied it!
It was the same reaction as when he got first place in the class in the exam before.
But did he really think that Jiang Bai plagiarized it at that time? He just hated Jiang Bai because he was like a wolf and beat his nephew black and blue when he first entered high school.
So he suppressed him in his studies and deliberately belittled him in class. Even if he got the first place in the class in physics, he could close his eyes and say that he cheated.
As an experienced teacher, he knows too well how to suppress a student's enthusiasm for learning and ruin a student.
If Jiang Bai had not been interested in liberal arts, he would not have chosen science.
He succeeded in doing it, but it seemed like he didn't succeed.
Jiang Bai did not give up on all his subjects, he only gave up physics.
He only handed in a blank paper for the physics test and slept in physics class.
It's ridiculous to try to confront a teacher in this way.
On the one hand, he achieved his goal, but on the other hand, he hated Jiang Bai even more. A student who sleeps in class is also called a student?
No matter what the teacher says or how he treats you, as a student, your duty is to learn. No matter what happens, you have to learn!
Sleeping in class and handing in blank papers are things only gangsters out there would do!
He also often used words like "hooligan" in class to mock Jiang Bai and Tong Jingang, who was good friends with Jiang Bai.
In his physics class, he always looked down upon Jiang Bai and even took the lead in using cold violence and isolating Jiang Bai.
In this era, teachers have great authority in the minds of students.
The physics teacher hated Jiang Bai so much that he made no secret of his dislike for this student, which also made many students afraid to get too close to Jiang Bai.
They did not bully Jiang Bai in school. After all, with Jiang Bai's ferocity in fighting, who would dare to do that?
Moreover, the management of No. 1 Middle School is very strict. Except for a few scumbags in every school, most students focus on studying and rarely care about other people's affairs. The most they do is just watch from the sidelines.
The physics teacher's nephew didn't dare to do so either. He just took the lead in isolating Jiang Bai like the physics teacher.
Is Jiang Bai afraid of isolation?
He was not good at socializing. Because he was raised as a girl when he was young, he always seemed to be separated from the people around him by a thin layer, and was immersed in his own world alone.
Until Tong Jingang forcefully broke into his world, the isolation of his physics teacher's nephew became a joke.
Tong Jingang is a very outgoing and friendly guy in the class. Everyone in the class can talk to him. He calls his friends to play basketball together all day long.
No matter how intense the study atmosphere at No. 1 Middle School is, there is always a group of students who share the same hobby as him and like to play basketball, so Tong Jingang dragged Jiang Bai along.
Jiang Bai grew very fast. When he was in the first year of high school, he was less than 1.7 meters tall. In more than two years, he grew more than 10 centimeters and is now 1.81 meters tall. Jiang Bai became the main force of this group of basketball enthusiasts due to his good skills, endurance and abundant physical strength. Every weekend, King Kong, who is a local, would always lead them to play a basketball game with students and teachers from Wuzhong, No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School and No. 4 Middle School.
Yes, there are teachers who also like to play basketball and play in teams with students.
The presence of these people did not make the isolation of the physics teacher's nephew successful.
It's just that Jiang Bai himself has a withdrawn and cold personality, and is silent and quiet in his actions, which makes him seem indifferent. However, even many years after they graduated, the people who played basketball with them in Wucheng would occasionally make appointments to play basketball together.
Now, Jiang Bai is actually willing to take the initiative to learn.
The physics teacher was also in a very complicated mood. He had seen the changes in Jiang Bai during this period. To be honest, he still disliked Jiang Bai. The student did not look like a student at all. He dressed flashy all day long. He really thought that No. 1 Middle School was his home and he could dress whatever he wanted. However, the director of the political and educational department, who was in charge of school discipline and was always very strict, did not say anything when he saw it. This also made the physics teacher very uncomfortable.
The physics teacher thought that Jiang Bai's appearance of dressing like a peacock with its tail spread out all day long was probably a way of seducing the girls in the school into falling in love with him. We should make an example of someone to scare the monkeys. We should kill this unhealthy trend and prevent it from making the whole No. 1 Middle School become impetuous. Look at what those male students are wearing today? None of them focused on studying, but like Jiang Bai, they focused on dressing up. At first glance, those who didn't know would think that there were suddenly dozens of Jiang Bai's shadow clones in the school, wearing exactly the same clothes as him.
A boy, who looks like a girl, does not dress himself plainly but changes his clothes every day, looking weird. I have never seen any young man like him who changes his clothes every day and dresses himself up so nicely. The physics teacher thinks that Jiang Bai is mentally abnormal.
He wanted to find evidence of Jiang Bai cheating.
But soon, he realized that the test paper for this joint examination was prepared by a physics group composed of teachers from several schools. Each physics teacher set some questions and together they composed this physics test paper. The examination venue was not in No. 1 Middle School, but in Wuzhong.
The examination room layout of several schools participating in the joint entrance examination is the same. All students' books are taken back to the dormitory, the desks are clean, and all examination desks are turned back to face the students. Even if there is a student who likes to write something on the desk, it will be difficult to see clearly after the desk is turned over.
Moreover, No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School serve as invigilators for each other. Once a student is caught cheating in an exam by the invigilator, it will become a big event for the other school to laugh at the cheating student. They will not miss such an opportunity to laugh at each other, no matter if it is a teacher from No. 1 Middle School or a teacher from Wu Middle School.
Therefore, if Jiang Bai cheated, it would be impossible for the teachers at Wuzhong who were invigilating the students of No. 1 Middle School not to have discovered it. After discovering it, they would have reported it and would have laughed at the teachers of No. 1 Middle School.
Nothing like this happened, which means Jiang Bai didn't cheat.
He threw Jiang Bai's test paper aside and continued to look at the results.
The teacher at Wuzhong, after marking the test papers of No. 1 Middle School, took out a few papers. They were all from students who had performed very well in the exam and were expected to be among the top 50 in the county.
I don’t know whether the results from No. 1 Middle School have been corrected yet.
No. 1 Middle School had also finished grading the papers. The teachers were looking at a few particularly outstanding names from Wu Zhong, feeling mixed and nervous.
Song Peifeng from Wuzhong is worthy of being the top scorer in the last high school entrance examination. He performed very stably this time and got an incredibly high score.
Even though the test paper they set is not as difficult as the college entrance examination, they have tried their best to make it more difficult while taking into account the teaching progress of each school.
But this young man can still get such a high score.
He must be the first one.
I just don’t know how many students from No. 1 Middle School can be in the top ten in the grade.
They are all waiting for the results of No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School and nearby township high schools to come out before making an overall ranking.
"I don't know how our No. 1 Middle School did in the exam this time." Someone asked the head teacher of Class 1, "I don't know how Zhang Wenxue from your class did in the exam. I don't know if he can make it into the top three."
Zhang Wenxue is the study committee member of Class 1 and also ranked first in the grade in the mid-term exam.
"Xing Hongyu from Class 2 is also good. He was in the top ten in the last exam. He has good stamina. If you ask me, he has the best stamina among the freshmen, except for Jiang Ning."
Xing Hongyu is the monitor of Class 2. When he entered No. 1 Middle School, he was ranked around 60 or 70 in the grade. Now he can break into the top ten in the grade, ranking higher than Jiang Ning. He is indeed very strong and has made great progress. If he can maintain this momentum, his chance of entering the top three is probably greater than that of Cheng Yufeng, who was ranked second in the grade. If Jiang Ning had not performed so fast and exaggeratedly in the midterm exam, everyone's attention would not have been drawn to Jiang Ning and Xing Hongyu would not have been ignored.
It can be said that if Jiang Ning had not suddenly emerged, Xing Hongyu would have been a typical example of a boy who had great stamina and made rapid progress in high school.
Unfortunately, this male representative was suppressed by another representative who was rushing faster.
But the teachers still noticed Xing Hongyu.
After seeing Song Peifeng's score, they all shook their heads helplessly: "We don't dare to think about being the first in the county. If our No. 1 Middle School is not among the top three, then..."
"Cheng Yufeng from Class 1 also did quite well in the previous exams. It's impossible that none of our students from No. 1 High School are among the top three, right?"
Looking at the names on the test papers of Wu Zhong, none of the teachers who were talking took Jiang Ning into consideration.
The county-wide joint examination is different from the usual small exams in school. The small exams are all held on campus and in one's own class, so there is naturally no tension. But this time the exam is held in Wuzhong, and a teacher from Wuzhong is invigilating. The joint examination is so solemn and formal, so the pressure is incomparable to the usual monthly and weekly exams.
Jiang Ning was able to rank tenth in the school and enter the top 20 in the entire Wucheng ranking, which brought honor to No. 1 Middle School. Such a big exam is a great test of students' psychological quality.
Jiang Ning was already calculating at this time. There were only ten days left before the final exams and the winter vacation. The school was on winter vacation, but the government did not go on vacation that early. Now she had accumulated a considerable amount of money in her savings. She planned to go to Shanghai as soon as the final exams were over, get the real estate certificate for the first house, and then see if there were any suitable houses. She would buy another house while the price was not high.
Although the two existing apartments are large in area, high in floors and have a long property ownership period, they still have a significant disadvantage - they cannot be used for household registration.
It’s still okay now, but by 1998, the country will release news that will shock the housing market and have a profound impact on housing prices - starting from 1998, welfare housing distribution will be cancelled.
Once this policy came out, it dealt a heavy blow to the common people. Many people who were stubborn and refused to buy houses and were waiting for welfare housing from their companies failed to get housing allocations and could only use their own wages to buy houses. The demand for houses increased, and since then, housing prices in Shanghai have been soaring, and have not stopped until more than 20 years later.
So if Jiang Ning wanted to buy a house, she had to do so before December 1, 1995, as there was no common area at that time. In other words, Jiang Ning bought two 156-square-meter apartments with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. That is a real 156 square meters, with a floor height of 6.2 meters. The middle partition had a 20-centimeter-thick floor. If it was divided into two floors, the upper and lower floors would be three meters high respectively. In other words, she had two luxury houses of nearly 300 square meters.
Not to mention that these two apartments have public water and electricity and a 70-year property right. Compared with commercial residences, the only disadvantages are that they cannot be given a blue-stamp household registration, cannot be settled, are not school district housing, and children will not be able to go to school through these two houses in the future, and the cost of second-hand transactions is high.
But these shortcomings are not a big deal for Jiang Ning. You know, the policy of giving away blue-stamped household registration when buying a house was not cancelled until 2000.
It was only 1996 after the Chinese New Year, so she had plenty of time to prepare.
The reason why the blue-print household registration is so popular and enthusiastic, and even can boost the commercial housing market and directly give birth to the golden decade of the real estate industry in Shanghai, is that once you have a blue-print household registration, you can go to the place where your household registration is located to take the college entrance examination.
In other words, if Jiang Ning could change her household registration from Wucheng to Shanghai's blue-stamp household registration before she took the college entrance examination, then she could come to Shanghai to take the college entrance examination.
What is the difference between taking the college entrance examination in Shanghai and in Wucheng?
Wucheng's current admission rate to key universities is only 1%, while Shanghai's can reach more than 5%. With the newly-emerged 211 concept, Shanghai's admission rate is over 10%, which is 8%, 9% or even more than Wucheng's.
To put it more bluntly, if Jiang Bai could take advantage of Jiang Ning's offer and get his household registration in Shanghai, he would most likely not fail the exam like in his previous life, becoming an apprentice and wasting several years.
Therefore, Jiang Ning’s third house would have been a good deal as long as he bought it before 1998.
Of course, the sooner the better. After all, in 1994, Shanghai launched the policy of giving blue-stamp household registration to buyers who bought houses. Now 1995 is coming to an end. With the arrival of 1996, although it is not yet 1998 when housing prices rose rapidly due to policy changes, it is still better to buy early.
Jiang Ning was thinking about all this in her mind, while also calculating the money in her own passbook.
With the hot sales of "Wuxia" driven by "The Great Song Dynasty", "Wuxia" magazine also sent a new contract to Jiang Ning. In the newly signed contract, Jiang Ning's share of the thousand words has increased from the original 150 to 280.
It has nearly doubled.
This is of course also the high amount of royalties given by "Wuxia" to prevent Jiang Ning from being poached by others.
At this time, the only authors who can reach this number per thousand words are "Zhiyin" and "Story Club", and this price is basically the highest price on the market.
Along with that came the publishing contract for the second volume of "The Great Song Dynasty" sent by the publishing house.
Now, "The Great Song" has been serialized in "Wuxia" for four months. Based on 20,000 to 21,000 words per issue, "The Great Song" has now been serialized for more than 300,000 words, which can be used to produce the second volume of "The Great Song". As soon as Jiang Ning sent the publishing contract, they quickly paid 30% of the royalties.
Today's best-selling novels may have sales of millions, but they are also very popular best-selling novels. A novel like "The Great Song" has been serialized in popular magazines as a pre-promotion warm-up. After it was released, it directly sold millions of copies. This is already very popular. Especially since "The Great Song" is more than one volume, it is not a one-time deal, there may be three, four, or five volumes to come. Even if the sales of the later volumes do not reach the sales of the first two volumes, it can still make their publishing house a lot of money.
The reason why "The Great Song" can bring continuous popularity to "Wuxia" is that after each case is completed, the new case can be read as an independent story. In this way, when new readers buy the serialized "The Great Song", they will not have the embarrassment of reading other serialized works that have no beginning or end.
Once you have read any issue of "The Great Song", you will be hooked by Lemon Meng and become a loyal reader of "The Great Song", which will lead you to constantly want to read the next issue, and you will feel uncomfortable if you can't read it.
This is also the reason why "The Great Song" has been serialized for four months and still continues to be popular.
Even Li Ang, the founder of "Wuxia" magazine, did not expect that Ning Meng was so insightful and talented in writing. Her first work could be directly identified as a work by an internal staff member of the system. This is also the reason why Jiang Ning's identity has not been revealed until now.
Everyone was led astray by the decisive words of someone from the public security system.
Especially Wu Gongan.
After finding the content of the middle issue, Wu Gongan from the provincial capital immediately had an illusion. Although the author of this work was about the case of Da Song, he always gave him the illusion that someone from their public security department was writing about this case. He even suspected that Ning Meng was the suspect herself.
Because the sense of déjà vu was so strong, some of the details made him feel as if he was the heroine's father in the author's writing. Under the guidance of the heroine, every step of unravelling the story seemed as if he had traveled through time and space to become the heroine's father.
He couldn't help but be moved by the emotions of this work, and always felt that the case of "The Suspicion of Family Extermination" in "The Great Song Dynasty" was exactly the case he was handling now.
He had asked each of his colleagues, and they all said they did not write it and were shocked by Wu Gongan's discovery.
Then, after comparing the cases they were working on with the cases written in the book, they all looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the undercover... no, the author, was hiding among their colleagues.
"Should we follow the clues in this story and look for it? Maybe the suspect is really hiding here, and he also has the murder weapon."
After saying this, even the police officer himself felt it was ridiculous. How could he say such illogical and absurd words, looking for clues to the case and chasing the murderer based on the plot of a novel?
Like the Arabian Nights.
But after this proposal was put forward, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. On the one hand, they suspected that the author was among them, and on the other hand, they suspected that the murderer was also undercover among them. What's more, they wondered whether the undercover agent and the murderer, the undercover murderer and the author, were conspiring together.
This thought shocked them and made them secretly alert.
Don't let the case be stabbed in the back before it's fully solved, that would be really troublesome.
In the book, the murder weapon was a kitchen knife in the victim's home. After killing the person, the murderer took the weapon away directly. When passing by the bridge, he casually threw the weapon into the middle of the river.
Instead of looking for the murder weapon first, the few people went directly to find the murderer.
After all, the book said that the murderer is currently hiding in this small mountain village under an assumed name and becoming a son-in-law. Before long, he will commit another crime of murdering the whole family and escape again. And this time, if the heroine and the others had not caught him quickly, it would be difficult to find him in such a big world. And based on the murderer's brutal nature, more people will be killed in the future.
Several police officers were on guard against each other and in tacit understanding as they explored along the way and finally found the small mountain village described in the article "The Great Song Dynasty".
What made them feel incredible and speechless was that there actually was such a small mountain village. Even the description of the surrounding area of the village in the text corresponded to the path where they were hiding.
They stared at each other, bewildered.
Who is undercover?
