Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the results arrived.
During these ten to twenty days, the National Day holiday for students of Baishi No.1 Middle School will start on September 30th (Saturday) and continue until October 8th (Sunday), a total of nine days, which is incredibly generous.
But precisely because of this, many students who had only focused on having fun during the holidays were caught off guard by the intense exam week that followed their return to school.
I've forgotten everything—classical Chinese poems, classical Chinese texts, math problems, chairs, the Peking Man from Yuanmou, the Upper Cave Man, bacteria, plants, DNA, and so on.
Fortunately, the students who didn't review during the holiday are just starting junior high and don't yet have the same study habits, so it's okay if they don't know the answers on the test. Those who did review were high-achieving students who set high standards for themselves, and naturally, they didn't feel anxious facing the relatively simple first-year junior high exam.
In this relatively relaxed atmosphere, the two-day exams quickly came to an end, followed by two or three days of leisurely grading. Today, Friday, the grade's final report cards are finally coming out.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. We studied together for so long during the National Day holiday, and the knowledge points are all very simple. Our exam results will definitely be fine."
On Friday morning, during the fourth period of the computer class, Chen Bing noticed that Shang Yunmiao, who was sitting next to her, looked restless, so she kindly comforted her.
"Hmm..." Chen Bing's words of comfort did not have much effect. Shang Yunmiao was still nervous after hearing his words.
When Zhang Xinyu went to her homeroom teacher to ask about her grades yesterday, the teacher said they would be available by noon today. Now that the fourth period has already started, the time for the grades to be released must be not far off.
"If you want to know sooner, shall I come with you to the office?"
"Forget it, the results will be out soon anyway." Shang Yunmiao didn't want to skip class to ask about her grades. Although she cared a lot, she didn't want to know immediately. So, she gently shook her head and declined Chen Bing's suggestion.
"Is that so?" Seeing this, Chen Bing did not insist any further.
He glanced around the computer lab. Although classes were in session, it was hard to expect anything good from a rural junior high school's IT curriculum. So the teachers basically didn't teach anything; the IT classes were essentially just playing on the computer and creating a safety education platform.
While platforms like 4399 and 7k7k may not offer many AAA titles, they do have a variety of well-made mini-games. Given the current lack of widespread anti-addiction measures for minors, being able to play a few rounds of Bleach vs. Naruto with friends on an old school computer for about forty minutes is still quite enjoyable.
Meanwhile, in the classroom, many people were playing games on this small platform.
Ha, how childish. 4399 and all that stuff—I was so tired of playing with those games with my friend Xiao Shang when we were kids, so what's the point? So lame…
However, it's nice to reminisce occasionally.
Thinking this, Chen Bing patted Shang Yunmiao on the shoulder.
"Want a round?"
"good."
...
While the students in Class 1 were happily enjoying their computer class, the first monthly exam results for the 17th graduating class were freshly released in Fang Anmin's office.
After opening the file sent to him by the teacher in the Information Statistics Office, Fang Anmin held his breath and scrolled the mouse to see the person ranked first.
Chen Bing.
When the familiar names came into view, Fang Anmin breathed a small sigh of relief. He then looked down to see who was in his class among the top ten, top fifty, and top ninety in the grade, and how many of them were in each category.
Second place went to Class 2, third place to Shang Yunmiao, fourth place to...
Okay, five of the top ten students are from our class, which is one more than the four students who were in the top ten when we entered the school. Looking further down, twenty-two students are in the top fifty, and forty students are in the top ninety. In other words, apart from the bottom five students in the class, 40 out of the 45 students in the class have maintained a ranking within or below the lowest of 90th place when they entered the school.
Compared to previous years' science and technology classes or Class 2 of the same year, this result is quite good!
After looking with satisfaction at the students on the list who had made progress, Fang Anmin began to study the scores of the top students in each subject.
Chen Bing scored 99 in Chinese, 100 in Mathematics, 100 in English, 60 in Ideological and Political Education, 50 in History, 50 in Biology, and 50 in Geography, for a total of 509. He was just one point away from a perfect score!
Fang Anmin smiled with satisfaction, pleased with every aspect of the score. It was more than thirty points higher than the top scorer in Class Two!
Continuing on, we see Shang Yunmiao, the third-ranked student in the grade, Teacher Yun, and the daughter of the newly appointed Director Shang.
Chinese 99, Math 92, English 97, Politics 51, History 43, Biology 41, Geography 45, Total 468. Five points lower than the second-place student, but still quite good; this child only ranked seventh in the grade during the entrance exam.
Oh dear, Director Shang's daughter has improved in her class. I wonder what Director Shang will think of me now...
After indulging in fantasies of getting promoted for a while, Fang Anmin coughed lightly twice to ease the strange expression on his face.
Such good news must be shared with Teacher Yun immediately. With that thought, Fang Anmin took out his phone and took a picture of Shang Yunmiao's score.
Fang Anmin: Teacher Yun, your child studies so diligently! (Thumbs up.jpg) (Thumbs up.jpg) (Thumbs up.jpg)
Fang Anmin: (Photo.jpg)
In just a short while, Yunxuan replied.
Yunxuan: It's all thanks to Teacher Fang's excellent teaching. (Thumbs up.jpg) (Thumbs up.jpg) (Thumbs up.jpg)
After exchanging compliments, Fang Anmin happily put away his phone and went back to checking his classmates' grades.
Meanwhile, in the computer lab not far from his office, Chen Bing, who was engaged in a fierce battle (and being tortured) with Shang Yunmiao, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
Ugh, how annoying! Why did my phone have to ring at this time? It's interfering with what I'm doing. Look, it's ruined my life, all because of the phone.
After gesturing for Shang Yunmiao to stop, Chen Bing glanced in the teacher's direction. Confirming that the teacher was also engrossed in playing on the computer, Chen Bing confidently took her phone out of her pocket.
My phone is set to Do Not Disturb, so it doesn't ring except when a few important people send me messages.
So, who exactly is it?
After the screen lit up, Chen Bing looked closely at the message bar and saw that it was a picture sent by Aunt Xuan.
After glancing at Xiao Shang, who was sitting blankly to the side, Chen Bing entered the chat page.
