Wherever Zhou Yu looked, most of the students had already focused their attention on him, leaving only a few stupid ones who were still whispering and laughing with their familiar deskmates.
In order to avoid being discovered by the teacher on the podium, they deliberately piled up a pile of books on the table that was higher than their heads to cover it up, in an attempt to prevent Zhou Yu on the podium from discovering their little actions.
Little do they know that their efforts are futile. The teachers on the podium are aware of everything that is happening below, but some teachers are responsible and will say a few more words, while some teachers think that such students are hopeless and are unwilling to intervene.
Zhou Yu naturally noticed the little actions of the two students, but he did not speak out to stop them. Instead, he pretended not to see it. After all, the time for evening self-study was limited, and he did not want to waste time on these two people.
"I'll call the roll first. If you're called, please raise your hand and let me know. This will make it easier for me to get to know everyone," Zhou Yu said, and then he started calling the roll, "Liang Yin."
"Here!" The little girl, whose eyes were still red, bit her lip, raised her hand, and answered softly.
It’s her, Zhou Yu saw it all. Judging from her performance, she can still be saved, Zhou Yu thought to himself, and silently kept this little girl named Liang Yin in his heart.
"Zhou Tao."
"Here!" A tall but thin boy wearing glasses sitting in the fourth row raised his head from a pile of papers, put down the pen in his hand, raised his hand, and answered loudly.
It looked okay, and there was still hope. However, it was time to trim his nails. Zhou Yu looked at the long nail left on the little finger of the hand he raised, and he was worried.
"Zhai Wenyuan."
"arrive!"
"Liu Lin."
"arrive!"
...
...
...
"Ling Wenchao."
"arrive!"
"Liang Lu."
"arrive!"
...
...
...
"Wang Jin."
"arrive!"
Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the answer. The student who raised his hand was one of the two students who had been talking and laughing with their heads down. He had dark skin, a fat head and big ears. When he looked at Zhou Yu, he had a frivolous smile on his face, looking very greasy.
After Zhou Yu finished answering the questions with others, he turned his attention to Liang Yin in the book. After comparing them with Zhou Tao and others, he immediately came up with an answer in his mind.
There is no cure.
Zhou Yu labeled this student named Wang Jin in his mind.
"Yao Hao."
"Here~"
A lazy voice sounded, Zhou Yu looked closely and it turned out to be the friend next to Wang Jin, the smart one who was one of the two generals who didn't take Zhou Yu seriously and were still talking and laughing.
No, it cannot be said that they did not take Zhou Yu seriously. At least, the two of them used the book to cover it up, which at least made both of them save face a little.
Zhou Yu nodded and put down the roll call book.
By now, Zhou Yu was familiar with all 41 students in the Grade 3 (10) class, and had a basic impression of them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the students. He smiled and said, "Put down your pens for a while, don't rush to do the questions, and don't rush for these few minutes."
"There are some things I want to tell you."
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, all the students, no matter they were really doing the questions or just pretending to do them to fool the teacher or themselves, put down their pens and looked at Zhou Yu intently.
Everyone wants to know what this new, young and somewhat over-the-top head teacher will say, whether it is chicken soup for the soul or a show of power.
"You were assigned to Senior 3 (10), the so-called parallel class. Do you know why?" Zhou Yu asked this question first.
The students below looked at each other, confused as to why Zhou Yu asked this question.
Seeing that the students below were all silent and no one answered, Zhou Yu activated his skill of calling the roll, "Liang Yin, you come and speak."
When the little girl named Liang Yin heard Zhou Yu call her name, her face turned pale and even her lips seemed to have lost all their color.
But she still gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "The school divides the students into advanced classes and key classes based on their grades, and our grades are not good enough. So, so, so, so we can only be assigned to the parallel class."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Yin's eyes began to slowly well up with tears. Obviously, Zhou Yu's words that asked her to answer stirred up her emotions that had finally calmed down.
Zhou Yu didn't care about the little girl's sadness at this moment. He just nodded slightly with a calm expression, took over Liang Yin's words and continued, "Liang Yin is right."
"The school has re-divided the classes according to grades. There are now eight classes for arts and six classes for science. We are in the arts department, so we will only talk about arts matters."
"Among the eight liberal arts classes, except for one advanced class and one key class, the remaining six classes are parallel classes. I won't mention the key classes, as those who know the names will understand what they mean."
"Before the class was divided, the teacher should have told you that there were only 10 people in the pilot class. It was a small class. All the school resources were allocated to those 10 people."
"I don't know if the previous teachers have told you this, but both the advanced and key classes will have classes on Saturdays from now on. The advanced classes will have classes not only on Saturdays, but also on Sundays. You can only have a half-day break every two weekends."
"As for holidays, the school has not yet announced anything, but if we follow this arrangement, it is highly likely that the advanced classes will not have any holidays."
"But do you know how our parallel classes are arranged?" When Zhou Yu said this, he paused and glanced at the students' reactions. He found that most of the students had abnormal expressions. Only a few, like Wang Jin and Yao Hao, were still laughing and shameless.
Zhou Yu understood and continued, "When we arrange the parallel classes, we will not make any other arrangements except for the normal teaching."
After he finished speaking, except for a few students who still wanted to make progress, such as Liang Yin and Zhou Tao, who had extremely ugly expressions, most of the students looked calm.
Only Wang Jin and Yao Hao sat in their seats with their heads bowed and listened attentively. They even laughed out loud with joy after hearing Zhou Yu's words.
Although the laughter was small, it was so harsh in this quiet classroom that it attracted the attention of most people, including Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's face also became extremely ugly. He originally thought that these students just didn't understand the situation, but who knew that this person could be so shameless.
Zhou Yu pointed at Wang Jin, who was smiling happily, and said in an unusually calm voice, "Your name is Wang Jin, right? Stand up."
The fat and big-eared Wang Jin stood up nonchalantly, with even a frivolous smile still on his face.
"Let me ask you," Zhou Yu said expressionlessly, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Wang Jin didn't say anything, but the smile on his face faded a little. However, in order to show his eccentricity, he didn't look at Zhou Yu directly, and one of his legs began to tremble. The amplitude of the vibration caused his fat belly to vibrate, and the books on the table shook.
"Shameless." Zhou Yu said these four words lightly when he saw his disgusting performance.
"What the hell did you say?" Wang Jin couldn't stand it anymore after hearing Zhou Yu describe him like that, and he cursed, "I treated you as my teacher and gave you face, but believe it or not, I'll get someone to kill you!"
Zhou Yu seemed to have heard something funny and smiled mockingly.
Wang Jin felt insulted again. He slapped the table and pointed his pig-trotter-like finger at Zhou Yu, "What the hell are you laughing at? Are you laughing at your mother?!"
Zhou Yu didn't respond, nor did he get angry. He just asked calmly, "Wang Jin, right? What do your parents do?"
Wang Jin angrily cursed, "What the hell does it have to do with you? What my parents do has nothing to do with you, you idiot..."
A string of foul words came out, which were very unpleasant to the ear, but Zhou Yu seemed not to hear them at all. He just looked at Wang Jin quietly. It was not until Wang Jin had been cursing for almost a minute and saw that Zhou Yu didn't say anything but just stared at him quietly that he slowly calmed down.
When Wang Jin completely shut up and stopped talking and the classroom fell into silence, Zhou Yu spoke again.
He glanced around and found that other students were like ostriches, just burying their heads, not daring to look at the two people who had a conflict. Zhou Yu then looked at Wang Jin, "Don't get excited. I asked this because I saw that the clothes you are wearing are quite simple. Your family conditions are not very good, right?"
"Are your parents working in other places? And there is a grandpa or grandma at home, or both grandpa and grandma are there? It doesn't matter. At least there is an elder of the next generation to take care of you, right?"
"The old man doted on you, but he didn't have much money, so that led to your inferiority complex and arrogance?"
"Do you still smoke? Every morning or afternoon, during the break, you would go to the store at the school gate, spend a few cents to buy a few cigarettes, and then a group of people like you would hide in the toilet, taking puffs on one cigarette?"
As Zhou Yu spoke further, although Wang Jin was still unconvinced, his expression of surprise became more and more intense, as if wondering how Zhou Yu knew this and whether he had done any investigation.
"Are you trying to tell me how I knew this? Did I secretly investigate you?" Zhou Yu continued as if he had seen through Wang Jin's thoughts, "I've seen a lot of people like you."
"There were people like this in my junior high school. Their families didn't have much money, and they didn't know how to study hard. They just wandered around like gangsters all day, thinking they were just like the gangsters in the movies, learning how to be loyal, get into group fights, and even use knives to hack people."
The whole class was silent, with only Zhou Yu's voice left, "Do you know what that little hooligans like you were doing when I was in junior high school?"
Zhou Yu didn't keep the secret, but directly revealed the result, "After graduating from junior high school, that person went to a high school similar to the one you attended. He spent two years in high school and left without even getting a diploma."
"After graduation, I was still hanging around. After a while, I couldn't make any progress. I was in a daze all day long. I didn't know what to do. I learned to collect protection money and robbed a student of his tuition. Someone called the police and arrested me."
"He was just released a while ago, and now he has a criminal record. He's not allowed to go anywhere!"
"He wanted to work in a factory to tighten screws, but no one wanted him. Now he works with his father at a construction site, carrying cement for a living."
At this point, the defiant expression on Wang Jin's fat face gradually disappeared. Although he still seemed unconvinced by Zhou Yu's words, he would no longer speak out.
"Sit down," Zhou Yu waved his hand, asking Wang Jin to sit down. Wang Jin was not polite at all, and sat down, "I don't care what you do, I only have one request for you, that is, except for Yao Hao next to you, don't disturb other people's studies."
Yao Hao: ?????
Yao Hao looked up at Zhou Yu in confusion, as if saying, Teacher, I didn't say anything, why did you suddenly cue me?
"Okay, let's get back to the topic we were talking about," Zhou Yu no longer paid attention to the two generals, but turned his attention back to the topic we were talking about. "The school's teaching arrangement for our parallel class is from Monday to Friday, with normal classes. There will be no teaching arrangements for the rest of the time."
"I know, even if I don't say it, you should understand what the school means by doing this."
"The school intends to focus all its energy on the 30 people in the front, or more precisely, on the 10 people in the key class."
"The school doesn't see any potential in you. Therefore, the school plans to allocate all resources to the top students."
"You, in a sense, have been abandoned by the school."
Zhou Yu's words were harsh, but it was obvious that what he said was true. Although those students didn't say anything, they probably understood in their hearts what the school's actions meant.
The expressions on these students' faces were very interesting, as if they were explaining why Zhou Yu had opened this scar and put this bloody fact in front of everyone, appearing so ruthless and unsatisfactory.
"But!" Zhou Yu changed the subject, "The school has given up on you! I don't want to give up on you just like that!"
"Since the school has arranged parallel classes, the key classes will have normal classes on Saturdays and Sundays. So, I hope you will also come to class normally on Saturdays and Sundays!"
"Next, let me tell you about my schedule. Starting from this weekend, you will go to class at 8 a.m. on Saturday. I will try my best to persuade other teachers to help with the class."
"But this is my own initiative. The school does not provide subsidies, so it is likely that no teacher is willing to do this."
"But, if no other teacher is willing to help, I will teach you other subjects myself!"
"Of course, this is all up to you. If you are willing to attend classes on weekends, you can take the initiative to attend classes on weekends. If you are not willing, you can study in the dormitory or go home to study."
"Okay, that's all for tonight, let's start studying."
