Li Guizhi took out the money and saw Zong Jia laughing so hard he was doubled over, while her daughter watched the show with amusement.
She asked in surprise, "Xiao Zong, what joke did you hear that made you laugh so happily?"
Jiang Xiaoli said for him, "Mom, it's okay, he just ate pigeon farts!"
Zong Jia didn't bother arguing with the young girl. He calmed himself down, took the 100 yuan that Li Guizhi handed him, and took away 20 packets of seasoning.
"Aunt Li, Little Pear, it's getting late, so I'll be going now."
After everyone left, Li Guizhi asked her daughter, "Xiaoli, Xiao Zong didn't pay for the seasoning packet either. What happened?"
Jiang Xiaoli explained the cooperation plan she had discussed with Zong Jia to her mother.
Li Guizhi strongly agreed, "I've seen it in the past two days by delivering goods to these small shops. Although the profit margin isn't as high as when we set up our own stalls, we can still make a lot by selling in large quantities at low profit margins!"
"When small businesses come to buy goods, if we don't give them discounts, they won't make any profit and won't promote or expand their business. Then we won't make any money either. Xiaoli, don't you think what Mom said makes sense?"
Jiang Xiaoli was shocked; it turned out her mother had a real business mind!
"Mom, you're amazing! We're on the same page! Zongjia and his friends will definitely be expanding their distribution channels. If we keep their costs too high, their growth might be slowed down considerably!"
Jiang Xiaoli showered Li Guizhi with compliments, making Li Guizhi extremely happy.
"Alright, stop chatting with me and go wash up and get ready for bed. You have a placement exam early tomorrow morning! Be careful not to fall asleep during the exam!" In Li Guizhi's eyes, making money is not as important as her daughter's studies.
Jiang Xiaoli knew what her mother was thinking, so she obediently washed up and went to bed.
On the morning of the 31st, after eating a fried dough stick and two eggs prepared by Li Guizhi, Jiang Xiaoli took her admission ticket and pen, which she had received the day before, to take the exam.
The exam rooms for the placement test should be arranged according to the order of registration. As soon as Jiang Xiaoli entered the classroom, she saw Tian Xiaomeng waving at her.
There were many classmates today, and Tian Xiaomeng had clearly dressed up carefully, with her ponytail styled very high, giving her an energetic and youthful look.
Her warm greeting to Jiang Xiaoli attracted the attention of several boys in the classroom. At this time, enthusiastic and generous girls were very popular, and several acquaintances were talking about Tian Xiaomeng.
"Xiao Li, why are you only arriving now? How did it go? Did you pass the exam for the top class?" She deliberately raised her voice, trying to elevate Jiang Xiao Li.
She's always used the same few tricks. The old Jiang Xiaoli might not have been able to handle them, but now she's Jiang Niu Gulu Xiaoli!
She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I think getting into the top class shouldn't be a problem!"
Then she looked regretful and said, "But it's such a pity that we won't be in the same class anymore."
Tian Xiaomeng laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, Xiaoli, it's not easy to get into the top class. Good luck, good luck!"
After saying that, she stopped chatting with Jiang Xiaoli and turned back around.
She scribbled furiously on the draft paper with her pen: That damned Jiang Xiaoli! How dare she mock me in front of so many people for not getting into the top class! How awful!
Jiang Xiaoli didn't seem to care; she was busy answering questions for the girl next to her.
I overheard the two of them chatting and learned that Jiang Xiaoli was confident of getting into the top class. The girl next to her immediately took out a workbook, pointed to a question, and asked Jiang Xiaoli how to solve it.
This girl speaks softly and politely, making it hard to refuse her.
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the workbook and then began explaining the problem-solving approach to her.
After explaining one question, the teacher carrying a bag of test papers entered the room.
Two teachers, a male and a female, were present. The male teacher tapped the blackboard and announced, "Quiet! The placement exam is about to begin. Everyone, put your bags in front of you. Don't bring anything you shouldn't. If you're caught cheating, you'll get a zero!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the classroom put their schoolbags on the front of the teacher's desk, except for three people, including Jiang Xiaoli, who did not move.
Upon seeing this, the female teacher reminded everyone again, "Students, please put anything on the podium that is not related to the exam. If any prohibited items are found, you will receive 0 points!"
The two people who hadn't moved went upstairs to put down some things, leaving only Jiang Xiaoli still standing there.
At 9 o'clock sharp, the bell rang, and the exam began.
There were two test papers in total, which combined questions from various subjects. Just like Jiang Xiaoli remembered, they were all multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
Jiang Xiaoli started working on the questions as soon as she got the test paper.
Perhaps because the two teachers had reminded her earlier, Jiang Xiaoli didn't go up to the podium to put anything down, and the two teachers' eyes often lingered on her.
Jiang Xiaoli felt their gazes, but she didn't care at all. Let them look, what chance do they have of tearing a hole in her clothes?
Seeing that she was engrossed in writing, the male teacher relaxed his scrutiny, but the female teacher found it a bit strange. Why didn't this student use scratch paper when doing her problems?
She observed Jiang Xiaoli for a while and found that even when faced with problems involving calculations, she would only pause for a few seconds before choosing the answer.
She whispered a few words to the male teacher on the podium. The male teacher walked down from the podium and lingered around Jiang Xiaoli, subconsciously glancing at the accuracy rate of Jiang Xiaoli's test paper.
It would have been better if she hadn't looked, because she was shocked when she did. In the two and a half hour exam, only 35 minutes had passed, and Jiang Xiaoli had already completed three-quarters of the exam!
The male teacher stood still and looked at her answers for a while, but couldn't find a single mistake!
He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, which were filled with light. He walked back to the podium and excitedly shared what he had seen with the female teacher.
The female teacher also looked delighted.
They are long-time partners and are also the math and English teachers for this year's top-performing class in the first year of high school.
If we rule out the possibility that Jiang Xiaoli cheated, then it can only mean that this student is a promising talent!
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Xiaoli finished the entire test paper. She looked it over and checked it before raising her hand.
The female teacher thought she was having some kind of problem, so she went over to her side and asked, "Student, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoli closed her pen. "Teacher, I'm finished. Can I hand in my paper now?"
The female teacher paused for a moment, then kindly advised, "Why don't you check it again?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled confidently, "Teacher, I've finished checking. Can I hand in my paper early?"
"Okay." Seeing that she insisted, the female teacher took her paper and asked her to leave quietly so as not to disturb the other candidates.
Jiang Xiaoli hadn't brought anything else with her. She stuffed the pen into her pocket and walked straight out of the classroom to go home.
The female teacher took the student's test paper back to the podium. "Teacher Zhang, could you take a look and see how many points this student will get?"
