As the uncle led Yanling away from the office and they reached the stairwell, he couldn't help but advise his nephew: "It's one thing for you to talk back to teachers, but why did you go against the principal this time?"
Remembering his leader's mocking tone and disdainful look, Jiang Wei raised his voice: "You came to school to study and learn, not for me, but for yourself. These days, only your own abilities matter; you can't rely on others. Without a degree, how will you establish yourself in society? How will you make a living?"
Yanling only remembered the sentence that you can't rely on others. He thought his uncle was implying that he couldn't be relied on either.
This realization filled him with resentment. If he was unreliable, why did they bring him home in the first place? If it weren't for him, he might have been adopted by a rich family long ago!
Ha, so he thinks he can't be relied on anymore just because he says so? Dream on! Since he raised him, he has to be responsible for himself!
Seeing that he was completely unresponsive, his uncle felt exhausted. He told him to study hard at school and then hurriedly rushed to his workplace.
Yanling watched his uncle leave, and as his figure grew further and further away, his face returned to its usual nonchalant expression. He pretended to be relaxed as he returned to the classroom, only to find that the once lively atmosphere had become unusually quiet because of his arrival.
The scrutinizing gazes of his classmates fell upon him, which made Yanling even more irritable. He used to be arrogant and domineering in class, but he never expected that a spot for a poor student would bring him back to reality and make him look down on by his classmates.
Now that everyone knows about his family situation, who will respect him as the boss in the future?
Walking towards his seat under the strange looks of his classmates, he caught a glimpse of Yu Zhou sitting in the back row and suddenly remembered that Yu Zhou's family was very poor, so why wasn't the spot for the poor student given to him?
Yu Zhou seems to have received an award for outstanding student, but no matter how excellent his grades are, it can't change the fact that he is a poor student. If Yu Zhou applies for financial aid for poor students, can he erase the label on himself?
Yanling thought her idea was brilliant, but how could she get Yuzhou to apply on his own initiative?
Yu Zhou was half a head taller than him. Although he looked like a frail scholar, he knew that the man was not thin at all; he was all muscle.
Although he and this good student usually kept to themselves, if they were to actually fight, he would be no match for him.
Yu Zhou was surprised by Yan Ling's words. What was in this guy's head? Was it full of straw? How dare he suggest that he apply for a poverty-stricken student position?
Anyone with eyes could see that this spot was specifically arranged for Yanling. Did he really not notice the "special" treatment the school was giving him? Did he really think it was a trivial matter that could be easily replaced?
Yu Zhou couldn't help but admire the country's good policies. If it weren't for the nationwide promotion of nine-year compulsory education, how could someone as good-for-nothing as Yan Ling have become his classmate?
He overheard other teachers mocking Teacher Sun behind her back, saying that she was stupid because Yanling had already been chosen as the poor student in their Class 5. Teacher Sun stood up for the students in her class and asked Chenguang to sponsor one more student.
He also said he was lucky to have met Jiang Xin's mother; otherwise, he might have suffered a loss, offending both the capitalists and the school leaders.
Yu Zhou then realized that his selection was not accidental, but the result of Teacher Sun's hard work. Moreover, although Chenguang Group sponsored him, it preserved his dignity and claimed to the outside world that it was an award for outstanding students.
Yu Zhou was grateful for this. He would remember Teacher Sun's kindness to him and keep in mind Chen Guang's support. He would study hard and repay them in the future, and he would not let them down.
As for someone like Yanling who can't see the situation clearly, there's no need for Yu Zhou to talk to him. Even if he did talk to Yanling, he might not understand.
When Yan Ling heard that Yu Zhou had rejected his kindness, he immediately felt that this man was ungrateful and deserved to be so poor!
The whispers of the other students in the class also reached Yanling's ears.
"Why did he go to see Yu Zhou? Was he going to discuss math problems with Yu Zhou?"
"Him? Hahahahahaha!"
Hearing these mocking words, Yanling returned to his seat angrily, thinking, "What's the use of being good at studying? No matter how good your grades are, you still can't find a girlfriend! Unlike me, hmph, just wait until I get Jiang Xin, then let's see if you'll still be laughing!"
