In the classroom.
Seeing that the homeroom teacher had gone out to answer a phone call, Jiang Nian, carrying her backpack, went over and sat down in her seat.
The classmates were inevitably curious about Jiang Nian, but they didn't dare to openly peek at her. They all secretly glanced at her with admiring and envious eyes.
Unlike the students in the top class, their gazes toward Jiang Nian were filled with hostility and skepticism from the very beginning.
Jiang Nian's deskmate was a petite girl with fair skin and an adorable baby face.
I never expected that I, who has always been at the bottom of the class and a perennial nobody in the class, would be so lucky to become the deskmate of a genius.
Seeing Jiang Nian sitting next to her, Lin Ruru took a deep breath and tentatively extended her hand with a shy blush: "Hello Jiang Nian, my name is Lin Ruru, and I am very happy to be your deskmate."
Jiang Nian had a cool and aloof demeanor, but she didn't appear distant. She raised her hand to hold Lin Ruru's hand and said, "Hello, you can just call me Jiang Nian."
Ahhh!
Even the voice of this amazing person is so pleasant to hear!
She almost fell in love with it!
Jiang Nian greeted Lin Ruru, and just then her eyes met those of Chi Lin, who was sitting in the front seat.
"Thank you for standing up for me and clarifying things back then," Jiang Nian said.
Chi Lin has always been indifferent to things other than studying.
Meeting the girl's dark eyes, his breath hitched for a moment: "You're welcome. I just did what I was supposed to do."
Han Xu, who was standing to the side, was still indignant about what had happened earlier: "Hmph, I've disliked those people in the top class for a long time. Apart from Chi Lin, there aren't many good people among them."
"At least Class 36 has a good atmosphere, unlike the top-performing class where students compete for honors and study hard, constantly scheming against each other. They appear friendly on the surface, but in reality, they want to put others down more than anyone else—even though it's a bit cramped."
The homeroom teacher had previously said that Class 36's conditions were not as good as those of the top-performing class.
These are actually very euphemistic ways of putting it.
The conditions of Class 36 are far worse than those of other regular classes, and even more so than those of the top-performing classes.
Take the desks and chairs in the classroom, for example. Every student in the top-performing class has a custom-made ergonomic desk and chair from a major brand, with each set costing over 3,000 yuan. The entire class spent nearly 200,000 yuan just on desks and chairs.
Class 36 had only the most ordinary wooden tables and chairs, which were cold, hard, and uncomfortable to sit on. They were even peeling paint, looking dilapidated and heartbreaking.
Not to mention other teaching equipment such as projectors and digital screens, which are barely usable.

Outside the classroom.
When Zhou Sen heard the name Ji Yanli mentioned on the other end of the phone, his first reaction was bewilderment.
Who is Ji Yanli? Is he the name of a deliveryman?
Shouldn't you state which courier company it is first?
Zhou Sen frowned, about to ask a question, when suddenly a jolt of electricity ran through his mind.
—Wait, Ji Yanli?
Why does that sound so much like the name of the current president of the Ji Group?
Zhou Sen gasped sharply, then cautiously inquired, "You wouldn't happen to be that person from the Ji family..."
"It's me," Ji Yanli said calmly. "Teacher Zhou, a student named Jiang Nian just transferred to your class, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Although he didn't know why the president of the Ji Group would ask about Jiang Nian, Zhou Sen still quickly responded.
“Niannian is my younger sister. I saw that she transferred from the top class to your class.”
Oh, so Jiang Nian is the sister of the president of the Ji Group. No wonder he called.
Wait a minute? Jiang Nian is the younger sister of the CEO of the Ji Group?!
Zhou Sen was completely stunned, his mind racing.
Wasn't Jiang Nian supposed to have grown up in a rural mountain village? I've never heard of Grandpa Ji having any other grandchildren besides this President Ji.
Jiang Nian is Jiang Sheng's daughter—meaning she should be President Ji's cousin and Old Master Ji's granddaughter.
Jiang Nian is actually the daughter of the Ji Group!
With this background, he could easily put all the so-called rich kids in the school to shame, right?
On the other end of the phone, Ji Yanli continued, "Teacher Zhou, I had my assistant check the financial statements of the senior class at Yingzhong High School, and we found that Class 36 has consistently received the least funding from the school over the past few years."
"Now that Nian Nian has been assigned to Class 36, I, as her older brother, cannot let her suffer any injustice."
"After I hang up the phone, I'll have my assistant send you a list."
"We hope that Teacher Zhou will take good care of our Niannian in the future."
"Ah, yes, that's for sure."
Zhou Sen felt dizzy and quickly agreed before hanging up the phone.
Sure enough, I received a multimedia message shortly afterward.
Upon seeing the contents of the list, he gasped.
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded as I returned to class, it felt like winning the lottery – an unreal experience.
Standing on the podium: "Well, students, I have some good news to tell you..."
The students below looked bewildered: "What good news, teacher?"
Jiang Nian also raised her head.
Zhou Sen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
"The president of the Ji Group offered to sponsor 2 million yuan for our class to replace all the desks, chairs and teaching equipment for everyone in our class with the best ones, and any unused funds would be kept as class expenses."
"President Ji also said that if our class has any spring outings, autumn outings, winter camps, summer camps, or any teaching activities such as buying books, hiring experts to give lectures, or organizing competitions, the Ji Group will cover all the expenses."
After Zhou Sen finished speaking, the classroom fell silent.
Then a scream erupted.
Holy crap.
What's going on?!
The Ji Group is sponsoring their Class 36 with 2 million yuan? This was a privilege previously reserved only for top-performing classes!
Oh no, the Ji Group is so generous, even the top-performing class has never received this kind of treatment!
