With the news about the parent-teacher meeting released by Zhou Yu, almost no one in the classroom discussed the topic of 'high school seniors will only have three days off for the National Day'. Looking around, everyone was basically discussing the topic of this parent-teacher meeting.

"It's over, it's really over this time! If there is a parents' meeting, the head teacher will definitely criticize me severely in front of my mom! I will definitely be doomed!"

"Are you showing off? You got 582, what's the point of getting 537? People like you are dead, do I have to be dragged out and shot five times?!"

"Hey, that's different! You scored 537, that's because that's the score you got at the end of your second year of high school. Your homeroom teacher praised you for your progress! I'm different. My grades..."

"Although what you said is true, why do I want to beat you up so much? Your words make me feel sick!"

......

"It's so annoying. The class teacher said that we need to register one by one. I don't know whether to tell my parents or my (ga sound) father and grandmother and ask them to go. Hey, you are fine. By the way, who are you going to let to preside over this parents' meeting?"

"Me? I don't care. My dad and mom are both fine. But I think my mom should come. She would like this scene more. And she often tells my dad that she wants to come to school to meet our homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhou, when she has time."

"Huo, wow, your parents are so positive? No wonder. If my son could only score around 550 in other classes, but got a high score of 607 after coming to Class 27, I would also find a way to find time to come to school to meet the teacher who improved my son's grades."

"That's what I said, and that's what I think. But are you sure you're not taking advantage of me?"

"Haha, how is that possible! How could I possibly want to be your dad? You must be overthinking it."

...

...

Zhang Li didn't want to get involved in the discussion about the parent-teacher meeting.

Zhang Li ignored the excited discussions of the people around her and put all her energy into the book.

But Zhang Li didn't want to discuss it, but some people wanted her to join in the discussion.

'Boom boom boom'

A sturdy arm flashed past Zhang Li's eyes.

Then, a slightly large hand tapped lightly on Zhang Li's desk a few times, causing Zhang Li's attention to shift from the book to the owner of the hand.

Zhang Li raised her head, still holding the pen, and looked confusedly at Xu Jiahao who was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Wang Tianhui," Xu Jiahao spoke first before Zhang Li could react, "Who do you plan to invite to the parents' meeting this time? Your dad, your mom, or someone else? Tell me if you have made up your mind, and also tell me the contact information. I need to register."

Zhang Li turned her head and saw Wang Tianhui smiling awkwardly at Xu Jiahao, "Squad leader, I don't know if it's my dad or my mom who's coming. I have to go back at noon to make a phone call and ask. I'll tell you this afternoon, okay?"

Xu Jiahao nodded in agreement.

Then, Xu Jiahao immediately looked at Zhang Li next to Wang Tianhui and asked with a smile, "Zhang Li, what about you? Who will come to the parents' meeting in your family?"

Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and then raised her head and said to Xu Jiahao, "Squad Leader, I have to go back and ask too. Can I tell you in a few days? I'm really not sure now."

Xu Jiahao nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, then you have to do it as soon as possible. Although the class teacher said that it can be given to him before National Day, we can't really wait until the day before National Day to register."

After saying that, Xu Jiahao took his notebook and pen and walked to the next seat.

......

After Xu Jiahao left, Zhang Li's deskmate and 'good friend' Wang Tianhui complained to Zhang Li in distress, "Didn't the class teacher tell us to register before National Day? Why is this person like this? He came here to register now, acting like a lackey."

"He really is so outstanding. He is just a squad leader but he thinks he is a high-ranking official. Outside this squad, he is nothing! Don't you think so, Zhang Li?"

Ignoring Wang Tianhui's chatter, Zhang Li casually responded with a few "hmm" and "ahh", still thinking about the parent-teacher meeting in her mind.

After finally getting out of school at noon, Zhang Li casually ordered two vegetarian dishes in the cafeteria. After lunch, she returned to the rental house and prepared to read for a while before taking a nap.

But before lunch break, Zhang Li still had one thing to do.

'Beep, beep'

Taking out her cell phone and hesitating for a moment, Zhang Li dialed the number that she could recite accurately even if she recited it backwards.

After just two rings, the phone was picked up.

When she heard the call was answered, Zhang Li immediately cheered up. Even though the person on the other end of the line couldn't see her expression, she still put on a smiling face and looked full of energy. "Hello, Dad!"

"Yeah, I've eaten. How about you? Did you eat on time? Yeah, that's good. How's your work in Shanghai? The weather is getting hot and cold now, you must take care of yourself!"

"Yeah, I know. I'm doing fine at school! I eat well and sleep well!"

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm willing to spend money! I had braised pork ribs and a fish for lunch today. They were delicious!"

"Yeah, nothing much, just calling to ask you!"

After Zhang Li answered the phone, she did not immediately explain the reason for the call. Instead, she greeted her father first, asked about his situation, and talked about her own situation. Then she opened her mouth and told him the reason for the call.

"Dad, are you coming back for National Day this year?"

"Nothing, it's just that our class teacher said that there will be a parents' meeting on the afternoon of October 3rd, National Day. So, I want to ask you if you will come back. If you come back, I will put your name on the list. If you don't come back, then I will ask my mom."

I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, the light in Zhang Li’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

But Zhang Li still forced a smile and said to her father on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, Dad, I understand. It's really not easy for you to earn money to support the family. I'll talk to my mom tonight and ask her to attend the parents' meeting then."

"Yeah, I know, I know. Huh? There's no reason. We just took the exam a month ago, and the results are out. The head teacher said he wanted to talk to our parents about our study situation."

"Don't worry, Dad! I did well in the exam this time! My homeroom teacher even praised me! Yeah, really, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Li stared blankly at the corner of the wall for a few seconds, then she cheered up again.

Zhang Li slapped her face, canceled her original plan of taking a nap, opened the closed book, and began to immerse herself in the ocean of study again.

My father worked so hard to earn money to support me in my studies, I can’t waste even a minute of his time.

Zhang Li thought.

...

...

The days of the monthly exam were the days Zhou Yu was most satisfied with.

Not only did Zhou Yu feel very satisfied with the ranking of students in the class after the results came out, but also every night, the growth points of all students increased greatly.

What surprised Zhou Yu was that he originally thought that contributing 7 or 8 growth points a day was already the limit.

But what he didn't expect was that the girl named Zhang Li, who looked quiet and focused on studying, actually contributed 10 growth points steadily every day in the past few days.

This made Zhou Yu occasionally focus his attention on Zhang Li during class or when he was sitting in the classroom.

But soon, Zhou Yu discovered the problem.

Why does this student named Zhang Li always look listless?

Something is wrong.

If it weren't for the system that could see that Zhang Li contributed 10 growth points every day, Zhou Yu would even have thought that this female student was also following those bad boys and going to the Internet cafe to stay up all night.

Seeing Zhang Li's listless appearance, and considering that Zhang Li had been contributing 10 growth points steadily for several days in a row, Zhou Yu had no idea what was going on with Zhang Li.
