Chapter 16 The Scores Are Out



On the first day of the monthly exam, there is Chinese in the morning and mathematics in the afternoon.

Zhou Yu was not assigned to be an invigilator for the afternoon math test, so he sat quietly in the office marking papers.

Since this is the first monthly exam and the exam is to find out the basic situation, the school has arranged for the teachers in each class to mark the papers of their own class.

"Xiao Zhou, how did your class do on the exam?" Li Chenyang, who was teaching a key class, saw that Zhou Yu was the only one in the office hurriedly grading papers. He strolled over to Zhou Yu's desk and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry to grade the papers? With the grades of the students in your class, there's no need at all!"

"What kind of people are those students in your class? There's no need to teach them any more. It's a sheer waste of resources. Why are you still so dedicated? Just change them casually!"

Faced with Li Chenyang's sarcasm, Zhou Yu ignored it. He just raised his head to look at Li Chenyang, smiled faintly, and then buried his head to continue correcting the test papers.

Li Chenyang is the Chinese teacher of Senior 3 (3), a key liberal arts class. He is in his 30s and single.

He was tall and thin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a gentleman. He often went to places where female teachers gathered, and even if he was disliked, he would still joke with the female teachers without shame.

A few days ago, when Zhou Yu, Lin Ya, Xiao Chen and others were having dinner, Lin Ya was still complaining to Zhou Yu and Xiao Chen with a gloomy face, saying that Li Chenyang was sick.

Lin Ya was preparing for class in the office. Somehow, Li Chenyang set his eyes on Lin Ya. When others were not paying attention, he ran to Lin Ya and insisted on reading her palm, and then he was ready to hold Lin Ya's hand.

Lin Ya was so anxious that she started to curse on the spot, slammed the table and prepared to find the principal. Seeing this, others hurried forward to mediate and persuade Lin Ya to keep the peace.

Lin Ya refused to give in. Later, Qian Dawei from the Political Education Department came over and told Li Chenyang to get out in a serious face. Li Chenyang had no choice but to leave Lin Ya's office dejectedly.

Then Qian Dawei gently persuaded Lin Ya that if the matter got out of hand, it would not be good for the school, so she should just let it go. Besides, Li Chenyang didn't do anything after all, so it would be difficult for the school to deal with him! Qian Dawei promised that Li Chenyang would never harass her again in the future!

Lin Ya originally didn't plan to let it go, but considering that she had only been an intern for a year, and as Qian Dawei said, Li Chenyang hadn't done anything yet, and if it got out of hand, people would inevitably say that Lin Ya was too nosy. So in the end, Lin Ya decided to let it go.

When Li Chenyang saw that Zhou Yu ignored him, a trace of resentment flashed in his small eyes behind his glasses.

Li Chenyang picked up the test paper that Zhou Yu had corrected with a sneer on his face and immediately laughed, "Oh, Teacher Zhou, take a look at the test paper of your class."

He shook the test paper deliberately and shouted in the office with a loud voice, "What's the name of this student, Wang Jin? Haha, how many points did Wang Jin get, 59 points? Haha, can a Chinese language test get 59 points?"

Seeing that the eyes of several teachers around him were all looking towards him, Li Chenyang excitedly raised his voice by one decibel, "Teacher Zhou, I'm not saying anything bad about you!"

"You said that you have been teaching students in our key and advanced classes every weekend, and this is the result? Teacher Zhou, if you can't teach, just teach less. If it doesn't work, just let the students learn on their own! You are messing around like this, aren't you misleading our students?"

Zhou Yu originally wanted to ask teachers from other subjects to help with Saturday classes, but was rejected. This was also known to other teachers in the school. Although many teachers secretly laughed at Zhou Yu, they still kept a normal face.

The only exception was Li Chenyang, who had laughed at Zhou Yu in public for overestimating his abilities and running a parallel class to do all these fancy things. He had no ability to teach students well and only knew how to do some face-saving projects to gain a sense of existence in front of school leaders.

Zhou Yu had no idea how he had offended Li Chenyang, and why Li Chenyang was so hostile to him.

"A 59-point Chinese test paper proves that this student didn't learn anything at all! Teacher Zhou, how can you teach your students!" Li Chenyang looked at Zhou Yu, who was still grading papers without saying a word, and said sarcastically, "Teacher Zhou, say something? Why aren't you talking?"

While mocking Zhou Yu, he picked up the test papers of other people that Zhou Yu had already graded and said, "Look, look! This is the good student you taught!"

"Yao Hao, 68! What kind of writing is this! My Border Collie can write a better paper than him!" After mocking him, Li Chenyang took Yao Hao's paper aside and continued to read it, preparing to mock Zhou Yu, "Wang Jingqi, 85;"

"Zhang Wenyu, 89;"

...

...

"Sun Wenjing, 102;"

"Li Shuangshuang, 109;"

As he read further on the test paper, Li Chenyang's voice became smaller and smaller.

His face became more and more gloomy, so much so that when Li Chenyang looked at the last few test papers, his face turned completely dark, as if he was ready to take the amomum villosum at any time.

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally put down the pen in his hand.

Zhou Yu put the last corrected test paper on his desk, raised his head, looked at Li Chenyang, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and smiled brightly, "What's the matter, Teacher Li? Why don't you continue reading?"

Li Chenyang snorted coldly, threw the test paper back on Zhou Yu's desk, said a few words, and left.

"The difficulty of the test itself is not that great, and you are still giving the students some slack?! You are sacrificing substance for the sake of face, only young people like you can do such a thing for the sake of face!"

Li Chenyang said this on purpose.

He wanted to tell other people in the office that the test scores of the students in Zhou Yu's class were the result of Zhou Yu's leniency, and he deliberately gave his students high scores, so that others would misunderstand that Zhou Yu did this in order not to be outdone by other classes.

Just as Li Chenyang said, the difficulty of the monthly exam this time is not very high, far less difficult than the college entrance examination. The school did this to encourage students to maintain their self-confidence.

Did Zhou Yu let it go? Of course not.

Just as Li Chenyang thought, there are indeed many teachers who, in order to not fall behind when comparing scores with other classes, are more lenient in deducting points when grading their own class's papers than in formal mock exams.

However, Zhou Yu could clearly know their current true level through the 'Super Class Teacher System', so he was quite confident in their abilities. As a result, when marking the papers, he not only did not lower the deduction scale, but was even stricter than before.

The words Li Chenyang said before leaving aroused the curiosity of others.

Wasn't the highest score just now 109? Could there be someone with a higher score? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Li Chenyang lost his composure later!

......

Zhou Yu is on duty for the evening study session tonight.

As the National Day was approaching and there were exams throughout the next two days, the other classes sounded a bit chaotic. They all seemed to be excitedly discussing how to spend the holiday and how to prepare for tomorrow's exam.

But in Zhou Yu's Senior 3 (10) class, the scene was completely different at this time.

The whole class was silent, in stark contrast to the other classes.

Liang Yin, Liu Lin, Zhou Tao and others were quietly reading and doing exercises in their seats; Wang Jin, Yao Hao and others in the back row seemed to have heard Zhou Yu's warning and did not disrupt the studies of the students in the front row. They just lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones quietly.

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction. The current situation was exactly what he wanted and was happy to see.

He walked into the classroom holding the papers that had been graded in the afternoon. Immediately, many eyes were focused on Zhou Yu, or to be more precise, on the papers in Zhou Yu's hands.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "Why, do you want to know your grades so badly?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of Liang Yin, Liu Lin and others who were studying hard shifted to Zhou Yu on the podium.

Zhou Yu raised the test paper in his hand and said with a smile, "Overall, it's not bad. Although the test paper is not difficult, it still meets my expectations."

After saying that, Zhou Yu unfolded the test paper and began to prepare to distribute it.

As the test papers were distributed one by one, numbers were read out one by one by Zhou Yu.

It wasn't until the last few scores were read out that the students below began to be surprised.

"Zhai Wenyuan, 112; not bad, keep it up." Zhou Yu said.

Zhai Wenyuan walked forward with a grin, took the test paper handed over by Zhou Yu, and then walked back to his seat and sat down.

"Liu Lin, 113. Compared to the results at the end of the second year of high school, this is a big improvement; but after all, the test paper is not difficult, so don't be too proud. Keep working hard!"

"Oh, it's all thanks to you, Old Zhou!" Liu Lin looked proudly at Liang Yin beside her, stood up, stretched out her hand and took the paper handed to her by Zhou Yu with a smile.

"Zhou Tao, 121!"

"Liang Yin, 127!"

When Zhou Yu read out the last two results, the whole class exclaimed.

When Liang Yin heard her results, her expression was the same as Liu Lin's just now. She glanced at Liu Lin with a smug look. Liu Lin immediately scratched his head in annoyance, "You win this time! You'll see what happens next time!"

After all the test papers were distributed, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Okay, the test papers have been distributed. Hurry up and go through the test papers for this monthly exam. Find out where the points were deducted! Remember it next time and don't lose points again!"

When they heard Zhou Yu say that he wanted to go over the test paper, there was a sudden wailing among the students.

"Old Zhou, you are really not a poet!"

"Help, family! Someone please take care of Old Zhou!"
