"What I want to tell you is that last year, I experienced exactly the same situation as now." After the laughter died down, Zhou Yu continued,

"At this time last year, I became the head teacher of a regular senior class at Wuzhou Middle School."

"Classmates, I was teaching an ordinary class at Wuzhou Middle School at that time, not even a key class. You should know that before this year, only a few students from Wuzhou Middle School could pass the college entrance examination. Last year, not even one student from Wuzhou Middle School passed the college entrance examination!"

Looking at the slightly more serious expressions on the faces of the students below, Zhou Yu continued, "I remember clearly that there were 40 people in this class. At that time, the first time I met them was also in an evening self-study class, just like today."

"I remember very clearly that at that time, some of the students below were just like you, confused and helpless."

"But unlike you, most people have an indifferent attitude. They do everything in class, laughing, playing, chatting, but they don't study."

"At that time, the first thing I said to them was to tell them that they were the ones given up by the school, but I didn't give up on them."

Hearing this, the whispers that were originally there disappeared without a trace, and everyone looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, as if telling Zhou Yu, how could you treat them like this?

"Don't think I'm exaggerating or trying to scare them. Because that's exactly what the leaders of Wuzhou Middle School did at the time."

So Zhou Yu told them everything that the leadership team of Wuzhou Middle School had decided at that time.

When these young and inexperienced middle school students learned the whole story, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

Although No. 2 Middle School also has a key class system, the treatment of key classes is actually the same as that of ordinary classes. Except that the level of the teachers is better, there is basically no difference. It's just that key classes gather more top students.

Seeing that there was something wrong with the expressions on the students' faces, Zhou Yu ignored them and raised his voice, almost shouting, "But you are different! The school has not given up on you!"

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued, "I originally had no plan to teach at Ruxu No. 2 Middle School. It's just that our old principal, Principal Wang, called me at first and invited me to teach at No. 2 Middle School, but I refused. It wasn't until later that he found my home and talked to me in person about his ideas."

"The old principal told me that if I came to No. 2 Middle School, he would agree to all my requests, and he would even give me a key class. But I refused!"

"I told Principal Wang that the student's grades don't matter to me. My only requirement is that this student must work hard! Because only if he works hard and keeps studying, will I give him the rewards he deserves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussions below suddenly disappeared, and everyone stared at Zhou Yu in amazement, with only one thought in their minds.

This week, the teacher...was what he just said true? He wasn't trying to comfort us?! We were really singled out by him?!

When he said this, Zhou Yu turned the topic back to the time when he was at Wuzhou Middle School.

"Let's go back to the class I taught at Wuzhou Middle School. On the first night, I told them that the school had given up on them, but I hadn't. If they wanted to change their fate, they had to study hard."

"That night, ten people listened to me, and later, five more people followed suit."

So, these 15 people could be...

All the students below were listening quietly to Zhou Yu's narration. When they heard this, their hearts suddenly started beating fast.

Zhou Yu nodded. "These 15 people are the ones who finally passed the undergraduate entrance exam. Among them, the one with the best grades at the beginning was worse than the one with the worst grades among you."

"There was a boy who was admitted to a 985 university, and he only scored over 300 points at the beginning."

"So, this is the real reason why I told you all this. I hope that you can work harder than those fifteen students."

"You are very lucky to have met me, you must consider whether this is your only chance in this life!"

"If you save yourself, others will save you. I hope you can be like the 15 students I had at Wuzhou Middle School before, and work hard and strive for success! Instead of giving up on yourselves like the remaining 25 people."

"Because only if you make the effort to change your own destiny, only then can I help you achieve the same results as those 15 students."

"But if you give up on yourselves like the remaining 25 people, then I'm sorry, you will say goodbye to this class immediately. I will immediately apply to the principal to send you back to your original class and then recruit a hard-working student to fill in."

"Of course, I promise you that as long as you work hard for one semester, then, if you originally only have the grades to get into a junior college or a third-tier university, there will be at least a second-tier university waiting for you. If you originally had the grades to get into a second-tier or first-tier university, then next year I will let you go to a 211 or 985 university."

When they heard this, everyone's heart began to beat violently.

Gong Jinkang, the only one who knew Zhou Yu's background, was so excited that his face flushed. He excitedly poked Peng Bolin with his finger. When Peng Bolin looked at him, he excitedly winked at Peng Bolin, as if to say, "See, I was right! You can't go wrong by joining this class!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say tonight. You guys can continue studying. Feel free to call me if you have any questions."

Following Zhou Yu's last words, although everyone's minds were still in a mess, they all took out their textbooks and started studying.

However, although everyone's eyes were on the textbooks, almost everyone's mind was still on what Zhou Yu had just said.

Really... Can I really do what Teacher Zhou said and get into a top university?

Although it was hard not to be moved by what Zhou Yu said, many students couldn't help but doubt its authenticity when looking at the young and somewhat exaggerated teacher on the podium.

Just when others were still in doubt, Zhang Li, the only student in the classroom who came in as a repeater, concealed the confusion in her eyes and began to become determined.

Zhou Yu's words were like a life-saving straw, which she grabbed tightly when she fell into the water.

If...if it's really like what Teacher Zhou said, as long as I work hard, I can get into a first or second tier university, then I will study hard even if it costs me my life.

Zhang Li, who was doing the questions silently with her head down, couldn't help but think of her father's face which had begun to become old without her knowing when, so she held the pen even tighter.

As students coming from rural areas, what people like them lack the least is hard work.
