The most crucial factor for Huo Feng to rank 400th was that he crammed at the last minute and carefully reviewed Yu Sangzhi's notes during the two days of the exam.
It was after Huo Feng had gone through her notes in those two days that he felt a little more confident about the subsequent exams.
It was a very risky move! Just a little bit and he would have fallen outside the top 400...
However, the gap between Huo Feng's results and those in the last monthly exam was too big.
So, Huo Feng, who was not invited to the office for tea last time, was invited to the office by his class teacher Zheng Qiu this time.
During the break between classes, there were only two teachers, Zheng Qiu and Huo Mingshan, in the teacher's office.
Therefore, Huo Mingshan saw the entire process of Huo Feng being called in for a talk by Zheng Qiu.
Zheng Qiu said to Huo Feng earnestly, "I don't know if your performance in this exam is really up to par. But your score is so different from last time. Aren't you feeling guilty?"
How could Huo Feng feel guilty...
He relied entirely on himself in this exam, without any cheating or peeking, and his results are spotless!
Just because of this confidence, Huo Feng can stand firm in front of Zheng Qiu without feeling guilty.
He even spoke to Zheng Qiu with full confidence, "No, I am very satisfied with my test results this time. I am proud of this result!"
Seeing Huo Feng still acting so nonchalantly, Zheng Qiu sighed repeatedly and said bluntly, "Huo Feng, let me be honest with you. The teacher can see how you behave in class. No matter how much trouble you make or how much you go wrong, the teacher always turns a blind eye. But you can't treat the exam as a joke!"
Huo Feng retorted: "No! I took the test very seriously this time! I carefully reviewed each question and wrote it! The test is so important, how can I treat it casually, right?"
Huo Feng was very eloquent, and with just a few words, he had Zheng Qiu speechless and didn't know how to respond.
In the office, Huo Mingshan sat in his seat, glancing at Huo Feng from time to time.
However, in Huo Mingshan's opinion, Huo Feng's attitude was not sincere. He had no intention of admitting his mistakes, but instead seemed to be trying to quibble.
Therefore, Huo Mingshan became even more dissatisfied with Huo Feng's unreliable style.
After a full half-minute of silence, Zheng Qiu sighed, pushed up his glasses, and continued, "The difference between your last monthly exam score and this midterm exam score is so huge. Tell me honestly, what do you think?"
Huo Feng answered frankly, "I admit, I copied from a classmate during the last monthly exam. I really didn't know anything about it, and as the exam was almost over and my paper was still blank, I resorted to a desperate trick. Luckily, I copied from a classmate in Class 1, which is why I got such a good grade."
"You admitted it quickly. Then why didn't you explain last time?"
Zheng Qiu knocked on the table and said, "You did something wrong, but you have no intention of admitting your mistake."
Huo Feng thought to himself, he had ranked over 100 last time, and Old Zheng hadn't let him admit his mistake. Perhaps his ranking had dropped this time, dragging down the class score and affecting Old Zheng's bonus?
Forget it... Good students don’t fight with their head teachers, and Huo Feng is not going to argue with them.
"Well, I was wrong, teacher."
After thinking about it, Huo Feng finally held back his breath and said in a gentle voice, "It's because I copied too much last time, so I didn't copy at all this time. It was all thanks to my own ability. Teacher, you can rest assured about my results this time. They are genuine! The scores are pure!"
Fortunately, Huo Feng had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and he was good at talking, so he convinced Zheng Qiu that there was nothing to argue with him about in just a few words.
In the end, Zheng Qiu just gave him a warning, "I don't want to see this kind of mess again. I didn't find you last time because I couldn't find a reason. Now that you've found a reason yourself, I have to catch you and talk to you. If I find such a huge gap in your grades again, I will have to take special measures."
Huo Feng nodded and agreed decisively, "I understand, Teacher Zheng. I promise that from now on, I will never cheat in any exam."
Zheng Qiu continued, "Such a huge difference in your scores will easily attract the attention of other teachers. They might even accuse you of cheating on the exam. So, don't do that again. Just do your best and study hard. I believe your parents want to see your true grades. These cheating grades are useless."
Huo Feng nodded: "Yes, the teacher taught me that."
Zheng Qiu: "In the future, the college entrance examination venues will be heavily guarded, and seating will be random. If you still rely on others, you can only imagine how you'll perform."
Huo Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I really know I was wrong. I swear to the beautiful teacher Zheng that I will never do anything tricky again. I will take the exam seriously and study hard."
Zheng Qiu saw that his promise was really good, but she didn't know if he was sincere. She sighed and said, "I hope you remember what you promised now."
Huo Feng: "Yes, yes, yes..."
As a result, under Zheng Qiu's nagging and scolding, Huo Feng made a big fool of himself in front of Huo Mingshan.
Obviously, getting 400th place in the exam was something worth bragging about, but now Huo Feng knew that he could no longer go home and show off to Old Huo.
Because Lao Huo looked down on him...
When it was almost time for class, Zheng Qiu let Huo Feng go back to class. Huo Mingshan also happened to have a class in the next period, so the father and son both walked out of the teacher's office.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road, but that’s all…
Huo Mingshan and Huo Feng walked out of the teacher's office shoulder to shoulder. Taking this opportunity, Huo Mingshan whispered in Huo Feng's ear, "Sang Zhi in our class is still number one in the entire section. Do you realize the gap between you and her now?"
Huo Feng rolled his eyes at Huo Mingshan beside him and replied bluntly: "It's not much different, I can catch up."
