Hearing what his father said, Gong Jinkang responded vaguely while chewing his ribs, "Dad, did our class teacher say anything? What is he referring to?"

Father Gong picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. "What else can I say? Did I tell you if there are any points you need to pay attention to during the college entrance examination, such as keeping the test paper tidy?"

"My dear father, we already knew this!" Gong Jinkang responded to his father with disdain, "Our class teacher didn't even need to tell us this, everyone knows it!"

Seeing his father's unhappy expression, Gong Jinkang quickly changed his words, "Yes, our head teacher said so! He told us to be more careful during the exam and also taught me a lot of exam skills!"

Seeing this, Father Gong retracted his death ray and said, "The college entrance examination will be held in a few days. During this time, you should concentrate on your studies and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, you will be sorry for the kindness of your teacher Zhou to you!"

Gong Jinkang was a little dissatisfied, "Dad, you said that as if I used to run around! I am no longer the person I used to be. I have changed a lot now!"

Gong's mother also quickly chimed in, "That's right, don't you know how your son is doing now? Compared to before, Jin Kang is already very good! You should be happy that he can achieve such results now!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gong's originally dissatisfied expression gradually softened, and he smiled more and more.

Finally, under the gaze of the mother and son, Mr. Gong couldn't hold it back and laughed.

"Ha ha!"

Father Gong drank a sip of wine happily, nodded to his son with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Indeed, compared to before, you are much more sensible now."

Then, Father Gong put down his wine glass and sighed to his wife, "You said that our old principal is really capable. Teacher Zhou is so capable, but he tricked her into going to No. 2 Middle School."

"No. 2 Middle School is also very good, not as bad as you say. In the past few years under Principal Wang's leadership, it can be said that it has been thriving!" Mother Gong rolled her eyes at Father Gong, naturally understanding what he meant.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Gong's mother actually knew that Gong's father, as a civil servant, looked down on Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, which was a key middle school in the city.

That is, Feng Zhiqiang, the brother of Gong's mother, was the director of studies at the No. 2 Middle School. The couple felt that it would be much better to ask their eldest uncle who had a child to help take care of Gong Jinkang than to spend a lot of money to send his child to Ruxu No. 1 Middle School or Ruxu Middle School where they had few acquaintances.

Furthermore, even if Gong Jinkang went to Ruxu Middle School or Ruxu No. 1 Middle School as a transfer student, given Gong Jinkang's foundation, it is unclear whether he could keep up with the progress of the students in the school. It is hard to say whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing at that time.

"Besides, what do you mean by cheating? That sounds so harsh! Teacher Zhou must have been persuaded by Principal Wang to go to No. 2 Middle School willingly!"

Gong's mother continued, "Teacher Zhou doesn't usually accept gifts, and he's still so young. I guess he came to No. 2 Middle School for his ideals!"

Gong's mother felt that the reason why Teacher Zhou gave up a good school in a big city and came to a small county like Ruxu, and went to a mediocre high school like No. 2 Middle School, must be that he had his own persistence and ideas.

After all, Mr. Gong was such a person at the beginning, but as time went by, his enthusiasm and character naturally dissipated slowly.

Although he looked down on No. 2 Middle School, Mr. Gong was convinced by Zhou Yu.

Father Gong nodded and echoed what Mother Gong said, "That's true. He refused to be invited to dinner when we first wanted to. It was only after Jin Kang's uncle told others that he wanted to treat Teacher Zhou to a family dinner that he was invited to our house."

After saying that, Mr. Gong glanced at Gong Jinkang who was concentrating on eating, and thought that this kid was lucky to have met Teacher Zhou last year!

Otherwise, with Gong Jinkang's grades, he would definitely fail the college entrance examination this year!

Naturally, Gong's father would not allow Gong Jinkang to waste three years in a junior college.

Mr. Gong's original plan was that as long as Gong Jinkang failed the college entrance examination, he would send his good-for-nothing son to Maotanchang Middle School even if he had to use his connections to do so.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Gong's father to say that Gong Jinkang is lucky. After all, judging from Gong Jinkang's current performance, he will most likely not be able to go to Maotanchang Middle School.

In a sense, Gong Jinkang can be said to have escaped a disaster.

"By the way, after the college entrance examination results come out, should we treat Teacher Zhou to another meal?"

Seeing that Father Gong mentioned that he invited Zhou Yu to dinner at home last time, Mother Gong asked, "No matter how our Jin Kang did in the college entrance examination this time, Teacher Zhou took such good care of the child, so we should thank him anyway, right?"

Father Gong nodded and said, "You are right. That is what I had planned. I will talk to Teacher Zhou about this matter after the college entrance examination."

"It should be said that Teacher Zhou is very capable and has many ideas. After Jin Kang is admitted, he may have to trouble him to fill out his application. We must maintain this relationship and cannot break it off!"

"Let's look back and find a suitable time. I'll call Teacher Zhou and have a chat!"

"By the way," after talking about this, Father Gong changed the subject. He looked at Gong Jinkang, who was about to finish his meal, and asked, "Your examination venue is arranged at Ruxu Middle School, right?"

Gong Jinkang nodded, "Yes, Ruxu Middle School, it's not far from our home!"

Father Gong nodded slightly, "The examination venue is well arranged this time, it's close to home! And the weather forecast says it won't be hot those two days, which is also good news for your exam!"

"The right time, right place, and right people have all come together. You must make the most of it when the time comes!"

Gong Jinkang patted his chest and assured, "Dad, don't worry! If I don't do well in the exam, I will... I will..."

Gong Jinkang was just about to make a statement when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if some mysterious force was warning him not to continue.

So, he swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips.

"You just what?"

"I'll just eat two more bowls of rice to nourish my brain, hehe." Gong Jinkang responded with a grin.
