The Xiao family's assistant saw the results, but then glanced at Su Ge's mother with an open look. Su Ge's mother sensed it and felt a contemptuous mockery in his eyes, which made her heart ache even more.
The young master of the Xiao family can date because he has the means; he can disregard academic performance. But what about our family? What do we have to offer?
In the past, you could still talk about your grades, but now that your scores have dropped so drastically, how can people respect you?
Especially after the homeroom teacher specifically pointed out that if Su Ge's grades continued to decline, the school would have to consider whether to continue providing living allowances. Su Ge's mother was so ashamed after hearing this that she couldn't even lift her head, and the pressure felt like a heavy stone pressing on her chest.
She is the only one in the family who works. Although the tuition for three years was agreed to be free, if she doesn't get a scholarship and living allowance, she will have to pay for the rest of the expenses herself. At this prestigious school, even a plate of fried rice costs tens of dollars. How can she afford it?
Moreover, this achievement exempted her from tuition fees, and the ridicule from everyone was unbearable. Su Ge's mother had never felt such anger before.
Song Xia from the next class glanced at Su Ge's grades after seeing Ji Ye's. Out of a total of 105 students in the grade, Su Ge only ranked 30th, which was quite embarrassing.
It's worth noting that the other nine specially recruited students were all within the top fifteen, and the further down the rankings, the greater the gap in scores became. In other words, the top ten students were only about twenty points apart, while the twentieth-ranked student was almost forty points behind Ji Ye. Su Ge, who was thirtieth, was nearly seventy points behind Ji Ye.
A difference of 70 points cannot be described simply as carelessness; it is a matter of whether one has studied or not.
I guess Su Ge used to think that rich kids didn't study. Of course, that's true, and it's the majority. But those who do study aren't necessarily less intelligent than you, and they might even have better study methods.
Because children from wealthy families, in addition to the necessary academic classes, have countless extracurricular classes such as economics, musical instruments, dance, painting, horseback riding, chess, social etiquette, and jewelry appreciation, and they may spend more energy on these than on academic classes.
Song Xia knew immediately that Su Ge had underestimated her opponent and would likely suffer a severe blow after this incident.
After the parent-teacher meeting, the semester's courses are officially over, but today is the school's open day, and parents can visit the school.
Song Xia was very interested in the school, so she asked Ji Ye to show her around. Both of them looked relaxed and comfortable. They bumped into Bai Xinyi and her mother along the way. As the parents of two of the best students, they had a brief chat about their experiences in raising children.
The conclusion is that the more outstanding a child is, the less effort is required. Both of them are very self-disciplined and have set their goals early on.
"Ms. Song, thank you so much for the job you offered me. Xinyi has already told me that it was because of your special consideration."
"It wasn't like I was giving you special treatment. I just felt that when children have conflicts, parents shouldn't use their power to bully their children. Besides, I haven't thanked you yet. My mom said you took very good care of me, Sister Bai."
Mrs. Bai smiled sincerely: "With such a high salary, it would be too outrageous to slack off."
"You should still take charge. Otherwise, the people I hired before, who were also paid such high salaries, were never as attentive. In fact, this is a win-win situation for us."
Mrs. Bai was filled with emotion; she and her daughter had truly met kind people!
On the other hand, the atmosphere between Su Ge and her mother was not so harmonious. Su Ge's mother had never advocated corporal punishment, but this time she almost couldn't hold back.
With a cold face, she threw the report card at Su Ge's face: "Look at how you did! Did you come to this school to date or to study? You said last time that you would focus on your studies, is this the result of your focus? Why are you still sitting next to Xiao Mo? What are you planning to do in class?"
Su Ge's face was full of shame and indignation. She bit her lip and said, "Mom, I'm just not used to it yet. I will study hard in the future, I promise."
"I believed your promise before, but what happened?" Su's mother almost couldn't catch her breath, looking extremely tired. "Su Ge, can't you give your mother a break? Our family can't afford to waste time with these rich people. Thirtieth in the grade, out of all the students at Experimental Middle School, you've never done this badly!"
Su Ge picked up the report card, and her face grew paler after seeing the ranking and score. The scores of Ji Ye and Bai Xinyi, who ranked first and second, were a huge blow to her.
She knew the names of all the specially admitted students, and they all ranked in the top fifteen. There were also those rich kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, especially Han Jie, who even scored higher than her!
It has to be said that Su Ge was really shocked when she saw the report card. She knew that she might have done poorly this time, but she didn't expect it to be this bad!
She could understand that the specially admitted students who entered the school with her did better than her in the exams, but these rich kids who didn't usually pay much attention in class actually did better...
"Do you know how disdainful that Xiao family assistant looked at Mom just now? Su Ge, wake up! He's the young master of the Xiao family. His family has never looked up to our family!"
“I… Xiao Mo is Xiao Mo, and the Xiao family’s assistant is an assistant. How can they be the same? Mom, I know I did poorly on this exam, but I will definitely work hard next semester. But you can’t say that about Xiao Mo.”
Su's mother laughed in exasperation: "You still haven't realized your own problem? Su Ge, I'm so disappointed in you!"
Su Ge stared blankly at her mother's departing figure. She wanted to have a good talk with her mother, but she didn't know what to talk about.
It's okay, she cheered herself up. It's just an exam, she'll definitely catch up!
But looking at Ji Ye and Bai Xinyi's scores on the report card, her fingers clenched the report card until they turned white. In the end, she couldn't hold back anymore, squatted down, hugged her knees, and her eyes reddened.
She dared not stand up, nor did she dare to make eye contact with anyone. She felt that everyone was looking at her strangely, and that everyone was looking down on her.
Did she really do something wrong? But she was listening attentively in class! The teachers don't usually assign homework, yet they still give her extra questions on the test.
At this moment, Su Ge seemed to have forgotten that she had skipped several classes when she had conflicts with Xiao Mo, so she hadn't been paying attention at all. As for homework, other specially admitted students found their own questions to do, so why hadn't she? Did the teachers make a mistake in setting the questions, or was she simply focusing her attention on something else?
