When it came time to elect class committee members, Bai Jiaojiao's hesitation drew a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Chen Meizhen.
Chen Meizhen said, "She's only half-baked herself, and she's going to teach you? That's hilarious. What was your score on the college entrance exam in English?"
Chen Meizhen had heard from Xu Yue and Bai Jiaojiao's conversation that Bai Jiaojiao was just from a small village on the outskirts of Shandong Province. She had stayed at her relatives' house in Yancheng for a few days when she was a child. In the end, she was just a peasant.
What good English teachers could you find in a place like that?
Chen Meizhen's English score was indeed very high, just as she said, it had reached the standard of students in the School of Foreign Languages.
Xu Yue looked at Bai Jiaojiao nervously, secretly resenting Chen Meizhen's aggressive behavior.
Bai Jiaojiao calmly replied, "Ninety-eight."
"Tch, only ninety..." Chen Meizhen reacted, her eyes wide with fury. "How much did you say? How dare you brag like that?"
"Ninety-eight?" Xu Yue didn't think Bai Jiaojiao was lying. "Jiaojiao, you're amazing!"
"You believe her just like that?! How could she possibly get such a high score? Ninety-eight points, absolutely impossible! She lies without even thinking," Chen Meizhen sneered. "Do you really think I can't find out your college entrance exam score? You dare to lie to me?"
"Jiaojiao is a student that Teacher Xiang values. If her grades weren't high, would Teacher Xiang remember her for so long?"
Two months have passed since the exams ended until the official start of the new semester, despite the hectic schedule.
Xu Yue was a quick-thinking girl; as soon as she said that, everyone believed her.
Only Chen Meizhen thought this was impossible, but she didn't have any evidence at the time. It wasn't until Friday's English class, before class, that Chen Meizhen asked Xiang Anqi in front of both classes, "Teacher Xiang, I heard that Bai Jiaojiao's English grades are very good. Do you know how many points she got on her college entrance exam in English?"
Xiang Anqi had heard a little about Chen Meizhen's identity.
Moreover, Chen Meizhen performed well in the last class, and Xiang Anqi had a good impression of her, so he said, "Her English score is indeed very good, but your college entrance examination English scores will not be sent to me."
Chen Meizhen said, "She was bragging in our dormitory that she got 98 points on the test. Teacher, do you think that's possible?"
Her limited knowledge led her to adopt a self-righteous attitude, asking Xiang Anqi to stand up for her.
To her surprise, Xiang Anqi looked astonished: "Really? Bai Jiaojiao, you actually got 98 points?"
Bai Jiaojiao: "......"
Bai Jiaojiao clearly remembered telling Xiang Anqi her college entrance exam English score. At this moment, Xiang Anqi's acting skills in pretending to be stupid were comparable to those of a movie actor.
"You're feeling guilty, aren't you?" Chen Meizhen said, tilting her head back smugly.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "I'm not guilty. I did score 98 on my college entrance exam English test."
The other students in the class were whispering among themselves, and most of them didn't believe it either.
Just then, the school bell rang. Xiang Anqi coughed to quiet everyone down: "We now know that the teaching levels vary from place to place. As required by the school, our English teachers in the first semester must take care of most students and teach some basics. However, this also wastes the time of some students with a good foundation. So I have applied to the leaders, and we will hold another exam today. Students who score 95 or above will have the privilege of not having to come to class. They can come to me after class and I will assign them homework separately."
"Ninety-five points? I only got sixty-one on my college entrance exam."
"I don't even need to take the test. Even if it's just a simple spelling test, I could never get over 95."
"Teacher, how difficult was the test?" a student sitting in the first row asked.
"It's similar to the college entrance exam, the question types are the same too. Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and send it to the next one."
As the best university in the country, Yanda University has an advanced teaching philosophy. As soon as Xiang Anqi's plan to teach according to students' aptitude was proposed, it immediately received the approval and praise of the college leaders and was imitated by other colleagues.
People nowadays are very simple and honest, and they are not afraid of trouble. At present, the country is in danger of a talent shortage, and these teachers hope to cultivate more talents for the country.
Some teachers have low standards, while others have high standards. Most teachers set their standards at 80 points, so Xiang Anqi's 95 points is considered extremely strict.
Anqi has confidence in Bai Jiaojiao, which can be seen as a test for Bai Jiaojiao.
Chen Meizhen gritted her teeth and secretly resolved to do well on the exam this time. She didn't believe that Xiang Anqi would dare to set such a high standard if the exam was too difficult.
When she started doing the questions, she found that the difficulty was indeed no different from the college entrance examination. She quickly finished answering the questions she knew how to do, but when she went back and calculated her score, she realized that it might not be as high as the previous test.
She turned her head again and saw that Bai Jiaojiao seemed to have stopped writing long ago, but was staring at the test paper with a serious expression.
Chen Meizhen's mood improved again. It must be that Xiang Anqi didn't understand their English level enough to set such a high score. Once everyone's scores are released, as long as her score is among the top, the privilege will definitely still be hers.
Xiang Anqi walked to Bai Jiaojiao's side, glanced at her answer sheet, and showed a satisfied expression. Looking at Bai Jiaojiao's serious way of checking, he knew that she valued this exam very much.
Xiang Anqi was even more satisfied knowing that he wasn't the only one enthusiastic about the task.
So what if she's not from their department? If he takes good care of Bai Jiaojiao, he might be able to move her to change her aspirations.
The exam lasted only one hour. Xiang Anqi collected the exam papers, gave everyone five minutes, and told those who needed to use the restroom to go quickly and come back to finish the class.
Chen Meizhen said, "Teacher, didn't Bai Jiaojiao say she got 98 points on the college entrance exam? I'd like to see if I can grade her paper in class."
Her words struck a chord with Xiang Anqi.
He was anxious too.
"Do the other students want to know too?" Xiang Anqi asked.
"think!"
Everyone was practically in unison.
Although they excelled in other subjects, they were really bad at English. Even though they had memorized it by rote in high school, no one, except those who wanted to major in English, was willing to waste their study time on an additional subject before the college entrance examination.
Ninety-eight, that's an incredible score.
Xiang Anqi immediately started rummaging through a pile of papers. While searching, he jokingly asked Bai Jiaojiao, "Are you nervous? Are you confident you can get over 95?"
Bai Jiaojiao smiled shyly: "I'm a little nervous."
Xu Yue was even more nervous than Bai Jiaojiao.
She didn't expect Bai Jiaojiao to be over ninety-five; she just wanted her to be taller than Chen Meizhen.
Xiang Anqi found Bai Jiaojiao's test paper and sat down on the podium to grade it.
Everyone held their breath, and those who needed to go to the toilet held it in.
Xiang Anqi threw the pen aside after a while: "Ninety-six points, Bai Jiaojiao, it seems you've relaxed after the college entrance exam."
