Patting Shang Yunmiao's head with delight, Chen Bing said with great satisfaction, "Good, good, good. It seems that your innate literary talent has been initially developed under my guidance. Let's continue to work towards this goal. Forget about becoming the top liberal arts student in Shandong Province, at least bring back the top liberal arts student in Chaojin City."
Chen Bing's comments about being a top scholar made Xiao Shang feel a little ashamed, but what was even more ashamed was the word "training." Although the words weren't wrong, it still felt a bit awkward.
"Even if I study the best, I still can't get it. I still have you, Chen Bing, above me. Aren't you going to apply for liberal arts?"
Upon hearing this rebuttal, Chen Bing slapped his forehead and repeatedly agreed, thinking that, except in certain circumstances, he indeed could not tolerate Xiao Shang being above him.
"Yes, yes, I forgot. Then I'll bestow upon you the title of Saintess of Literature, and I will be the Saint Son."
Shang Yunmiao didn't want to be compared to such a precocious person, so she didn't continue the conversation, but simply looked happily at her grades. Compared to her midterm failure, she felt that everything was going smoothly and the future was promising.
"It's a pity, probably because the results just came out and the grade rankings haven't been done yet. After the first evening self-study session, let's go to the grade office and ask the grade director for the report cards with individual subject rankings, and give him a good urging."
Chen Bing said nonchalantly, but Shang Yunmiao felt a little embarrassed and subtly voiced her objection.
"Then let's go find Dad. He'll probably be free right after New Year's Day."
Compared to finding a stranger, the head teacher, going to see the principal was a more acceptable option for Shang Yunmiao. So she nodded and agreed.
Soon, the first evening self-study session began and ended, and Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao set off to find Lao Deng as planned.
In the principal's office, the beloved Principal Shang was tending to his flowers and plants, indeed quite leisurely.
When he saw his daughter and son-in-law come to see him, he immediately smiled. He offered them tea and snacks while asking what they needed.
After showing off several cookies without any hesitation, Shang Yunmiao took a sip of tea and then took the initiative to explain the purpose of her visit.
After learning about the joint entrance exam, he, who was both the principal and the father (father-in-law), called the head of the first-year high school department.
Upon learning that he didn't have it either, and that the grade data department was processing the information, Shang Zhengxin asked Liu Hai to call the relevant teacher and have that person call him back.
A minute later, the phone rang again. After some conversation, Shang Zhengxin learned that the subject rankings had been released, but not yet broken down by class.
"Then send me the entire grade's information first. Yes, use WeChat for business purposes."
After finishing the call, Shang Zhengxin got up and sat down at his computer, with Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao standing on either side of him.
After opening the document sent by the teacher, Shang Zhengxin first checked Chen Bing's grades.
Good heavens, 1041 points! That's an average of one point deducted per subject! They're more than 60 points ahead of second place! They're so strong, it's like they've broken through several layers.
English 149, Chemistry 99, Politics 98, History 96, Geography 99, and all the others were perfect scores. How is my son so amazing!
After the initial excitement subsided, Shang Zhengxin ended the usual post-exam euphoria and returned to his business.
He continued searching and soon saw his daughter's score, which was ranked third. While he was paying attention to the overall ranking and the scores of each subject, Chen Bing focused on looking at Shang Yunmiao's ranking in the minor subjects.
Following the order of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography, Xiao Shang's ranking in each subject by grade is 101, 87, 79, 3, 2, 1.
Alright, that's settled. I'll choose full-fledged literature as my subject choice; this ranking is far too biased, there's really nothing to say about it.
Since deciding to choose humanities after the monthly exam, Shang Yunmiao has devoted more attention to the three humanities subjects than to the sciences for the first time, and the result is obvious. While her science scores have slightly declined, she has made significant progress in the humanities at a high level, further demonstrating her talent.
After seeing the rankings, Shang Zhengxin was no longer of any use to Chen Bing. Patting himself on the back, Chen Bing prepared to take Shang Yunmiao away.
Holding Shang Yunmiao's hand, who blushed after being patted on the butt for no reason, Chen Bing said goodbye to Shang Zhengxin.
"I'll go with you to the first-year high school section and see what the learning atmosphere is like." Turning around, Shang Zhengxin happily patted the two children on the head, and then the three of them headed to the Yifu Building.
With the joint entrance exam results just released and the New Year's Day holiday over, there was a noticeable disturbance not only in the secondary key and regular classes upstairs, but also in the key classes on the first floor.
Just two or three minutes into evening self-study, Chen Yuan, sitting in the front row of the classroom, was chatting and boasting with his pretty new deskmate. In the midst of their lively conversation, he suddenly heard the door open, which startled him greatly.
He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the people who opened the door were Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao.
I was just about to continue chatting with my pretty deskmate when I saw her pretending to study very seriously, her head down, while her leg under the table kept bumping against me, as if she was reminding me of something.
The quick-witted Chen Yuan immediately realized that a teacher had arrived.
So, while pretending to be busy looking for homework, he glanced sideways to see which guy was checking on students at the very beginning of evening self-study.
Then he saw a middle-aged man who looked familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, and who was staring intently at him.
After finally "finding" his homework, Chen Yuan, like his pretty deskmate, buried his head in his work and pretended to study hard. He performed the role meticulously, keeping his head bowed deeply.
He appeared quite calm when the principal caught him talking during evening self-study, but when we looked at his back, we realized he was just putting on an act.
Despite it being winter, Chen Yuan's back was still covered in cold sweat.
Damn it! Ice God? You're the one who lured the Japanese in!?
The entire classroom, which had been restless just moments before, fell into a deathly silence.
Shang Zhengxin didn't leave immediately. After watching Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao return to their seats, he walked up to the boy who was pretending to study and asked him softly, "Do you have your class's joint exam results?"
Chen Yuan looked up helplessly, regretting that he wasn't carrying a report card; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation. Fortunately, at that moment, the class monitor, who had a report card in his hand, immediately stood up after hearing Shang Zhengxin's words and handed it to him.
After examining the report card for a while, Shang Zhengxin became increasingly pleased. To share his joy, he planned to take dozens of copies of Class 1's report cards and drop one into each classroom he passed, hoping to let everyone in the entire grade experience his happiness in this most direct way.
With that thought in mind, Shang Zhengxin took the class's report card and said, "Everyone's grades are excellent. I'll make a few copies to show to students in other classes," before leaving.
