Chapter 97
Two days later, the preliminary exams will be graded and the scores will be calculated, but in order not to affect the students' mood for the midterm exams, the results will be announced later.
However, this postponement does not include some students with outstanding academic performance and whose eligibility for the competition has been fully confirmed.
In the office, the head teacher said to Ma Wenjie, "You've made great progress in this test, proving that you've found a study method that suits you. You can represent the school in this competition. I hope you'll keep up the good work and win a place."
Ma Wenjie's face flushed with excitement as he asked, "Teacher, can I take both courses?"
"Yes, your scores in both subjects in this preliminaries were very good, far exceeding the teacher's expectations of you. If you keep up this momentum, you can stay in the training team."
A hint of gloom flashed across Ma Wenjie's eyes, but he quickly adjusted himself: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."
The head teacher looked at him with satisfaction, and then his eyes lit up when he saw Su Miao appear at the door.
"Report!"
"Su Miao, come in."
Su Miao's arrival ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience. Teacher Wu couldn't wait to say to her, "Su Miao! Guess what you did in the preliminary round?"
Su Miao thought about it and said conservatively: "Out of 120, I should be able to get around 110, right? Out of 100, I should be able to get 90?"
The physics teacher also came over happily and said, "Oh! You are so humble! You didn't lose a single point, and the difference between you and the second place was almost 10 points. The questions in this preliminary round are not easy. There are many questions that are beyond the scope of your current level. It all depends on your accumulated knowledge."
Teacher Wu couldn't wait to take out the test paper and pointed to the last question. "The method for solving this question is very novel. Can you tell me your thinking behind it?"
Ma Wenjie watched as his highlight moment was completely snatched away by Su Miao. He slowly clenched his hands behind his back into fists. The second place with a difference of 10 points was him.
After being surrounded by teachers for a long time, Su Miao finally came out of the office. On the way back to the classroom, he met Ma Wenjie who had been waiting at the corner.
Su Miao raised her eyebrows, wondering what trick he was going to play again.
"Su Miao! Don't be too proud. I will definitely surpass you in the official competition." Ma Wenjie's face was full of jealousy.
Huh? That's it? He waited in the corner for so long just to say something harsh to her? Sure enough, the kid was still a little childish.
"Okay, then good luck." Su Miao didn't want to waste any more words with him. After saying this perfunctorily, he wanted to walk around him and go back to the classroom.
Unexpectedly, Ma Wenjie persisted: "What's with your attitude? Do you look down on me?"
Su Miao was extremely helpless: "I don't look down on you, didn't I cheer you on? What on earth do you want to do?"
"Let me tell you! You're not the only one who got a perfect score. I also got a perfect score in English on the entrance exam! It's just that there's no English competition this time, so you got a good score! Otherwise, I would still get a perfect score too."
"Ohhh, what a shame."
Su Miao wanted to go around to the other side, and Ma Wenjie followed him.
"It's true that I'm second in physics, but the teacher said I have a lot of room for improvement and great potential, so I'm not any worse than you."
No matter how good his temper was, Su Miao became annoyed after being provoked again and again.
"Ma Wenjie, I'm different from you."
"What?!"
"I got 100 points in physics because the full score is 100 points, and you got 90 points because your ability is only up to 90 points, so, don't stand in my way."
Ma Wenjie stood there in a daze, letting Su Miao walk past him.
Su Miao glanced around the corner before entering the classroom. Ma Wenjie was standing there with his head down, looking lost. She felt a little...
Forget it, I won’t offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will crush him with my strength.
However, she did not see Ma Wenjie's gloomy expression at this time.
Why?! They were both admitted from the same class and were both on the training team, so why was Su Miao always the center of attention while he was struggling on the edge of leaving the class?
He originally thought that if he did well in the exam this time, the teacher would take a better look at him!
But... could he beat Su Miao? How could he beat her?
That's right! As long as she is disqualified, he wins!
Su Miao couldn't hear his rich inner drama and continued to go to class and go home as usual.
But the next morning, Su Miao, who was still in class, was suddenly called away by her homeroom teacher. She followed the homeroom teacher to the principal's office without knowing why.
There were a group of school leaders sitting inside, as well as the security guard and an unfamiliar boy.
When the boy saw her come in, he pointed at her and said, "Yes, that's her. She gave me the money."
Give money? What money?
Seeing her puzzled expression, the principal said, "Student Su Miao, last night the security guard caught a boy climbing over the wall into the school. During the interrogation, he said that he had previously accepted your money and helped you enter the Academic Affairs Office to steal a preliminary exam paper. I called you here now so that you can confront him face to face."
Su Miao looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and asked, "Teacher, are there really any test papers missing?"
The Dean of Academic Affairs said with an embarrassed look on his face, "After he told us that, we immediately went to count the test papers and found that one spare paper each for math and physics was indeed missing. We previously thought that the teachers had taken them to teach and didn't pay much attention to it. We just checked with all the teachers and it wasn't them who took them."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Miao immediately knew that the matter was not simple. Someone must be setting up a trap to frame him, otherwise how could they identify him so accurately?
Su Miao asked the boy, "You said I asked you to steal the test paper. Do you know my name? Then tell me how we met?"
The boy said confidently, "Su Miao from the first grade training team gave me twenty yuan and told me that the Academic Affairs Office was on the third floor and that I could push open the window and climb in. He wanted to steal a math and a physics competition paper."
"Well, you memorized your lines pretty well. So, tell me, how did I find you? And when exactly?"
"Just...just three days ago, after school, you came over to talk to me on your way home."
"I was on my way home, and I asked a stranger to help me steal the test paper, and I told this person my detailed information. Don't you think there are loopholes in your lie?"
"Oh! How would I know what you're thinking? I'm only responsible for taking the money and doing the job. I don't care about the rest!"
This boy dropped out of school very early and wandered around the streets every day. Petty thefts were common among him. Because he was very young, even if he was caught before, he would be sent home and asked to pay compensation and educate his parents.
This time, he thought that he had only stolen the test papers and no valuables, so he shouldn't even need to pay compensation. Therefore, he had been fearless and just wanted to insist that it was Su Miao who instigated him.
