Chapter 40 You are confused!
"It's the math, physics and chemistry test papers! Didn't you ask someone to bring them from the big city?"
The examination papers used by the repeater class were all mimeographed by the school, but at that time Teacher Ke clearly stated that they were "the examination papers written by Li Ye." Although Xia Yue and others did not believe it, Li Dayong did.
Li Dayong is a big and strong man, but he is very thoughtful. Ever since Li Ye and Wen Leyu started to tinker with novels, the test questions handed out in the class soon became less innovative.
Isn't it obvious? It's all thanks to my brother!
Li Zhongfa was very puzzled because he had never used his connections to get any papers for Li Ye.
With his cognitive level that makes him unable to recognize all 24 English letters, he doesn't know that high-level test papers are an effective means to improve college entrance examination scores.
So Li Zhongfa asked Li Ye in confusion: "Test questions from a big city? Did the girl from the Lu family send them to you?"
"Not her."
Li Ye flatly denied it.
He really couldn't understand why people around him still thought that he and Lu Jingyao were in an awkward relationship.
Li Zhongfa knew that he had misunderstood. He thought that the girl from the Lu family really wanted to fulfill her father Lu’s promise and help Li Ye “pass the exam to go to the capital”!
Now it seems that she has become a phoenix after flying to the treetops.
However, Li Zhongfa always felt that his grandson didn't seem to be so obsessed with the phoenix anymore.
So the old man continued to ask: "Xiao Ye, where did you get the test paper?"
Li Ye said: "I came up with it myself. I originally just gave it to Dayong and a few close friends to copy and practice. Later, the teachers thought it should be shared with everyone."
Li Zhongfa frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How much effect can these test questions have?"
Li Ye thought for a moment and said modestly: "Based on the current situation of our class, if we continue to study, we can probably improve by 150 to 200 points!"
“.”
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
Nowadays, even Li Zhongfa, who calls himself a rough man, knows what an improvement of 150 to 200 points means.
But because they knew what it meant, everyone didn't believe Li Ye's "nonsense".
In an era where you can get into a junior college with just over 300 points, do you think you can help your classmates improve their scores by 150 to 200 points?
What will be the consequences if this gets out?
Countless parents will definitely bring their children to our school to seek improvement.
Come, come, this is my grandson. Please take some time to show me your care. Don’t say 150 points, 100 points will be enough. I’ll kowtow to you first.
Oh my god!
Li Zhongfa smacked his lips and said to Li Ye, "If you brag, you have to be responsible. Tell grandpa the truth, how many points can you improve?"
Li Ye had no way to answer. You guys wouldn't believe me even if I told you the truth! Are you asking me to lie?
At this time, Li Dayong next to him spoke up, "Master, I can't say it will improve by more than 100 points, but it really works.
I used to rank in the 30s for math and physics in my class. In the test a few days ago, I ranked 14th for math and 11th for physics. The other students also improved a lot."
Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian looked at each other, then both slapped their thighs.
"oops!"
"You are confused!"
Before Li Zhongfa could say anything, Li Kaijian got angry and started shooting at Li Ye.
"You two silly kids, do you know that the college entrance examination is not about scores, but about ranking? There are only a few people admitted, and one more point or one less point will make a difference in your fate.
You helped others improve their scores, which squeezed your rankings."
Li Ye smiled and said, "It's not that weird. I can definitely pass the exam. Besides, what's your mentality, Dad? You're still a retired soldier!"
In fact, Li Ye knew that not all soldiers were blindly dedicated. He just wanted to shut Li Kaijian up.
When facing danger, soldiers will charge into battle without hesitation, but don't ever think that soldiers are ignorant of the ways of the world.
If you don’t believe me, just look at the veterans around you. Except for those who are particularly honest and hardworking, they are actually very smart and good at “handling things”. Each of them is a thief with good eyesight.
Li Kaijian opened his mouth to curse, but the words could not come out. It was because, as the workshop director, he usually liked to talk about awareness with people.
But Grandma Li didn't care about that and just pointed her finger at her precious grandson's forehead.
"You are such a naive child, always thinking about others. Do others think about you? Did Lu Jingyao help you when she was taking the college entrance exam last year? Why don't you learn your lesson?"
Only the old grandmother in the family dared to mention Lu Jingyao in front of Li Ye, and no one else would bring up anything irrelevant.
No one spoke, and Li Dayong next to him was also embarrassed.
He deeply understood what Grandma Li said.
Not to mention anything else, the small group headed by Xia Yue got a new set of papers from the No. 1 Middle School in the county and did not allow Li Dayong and others to copy them.
How could there be such a selfless and open-minded person like Li Ye, who used papers one after another, but in the end he was met with waves of sarcastic remarks.
Li Ye was poked on the forehead by his grandmother, so he had to explain: "Grandma, you are mistaken, how could I be a fool?
It takes three to make a fence, and it takes three to make a hero. I just want to see if there are a few people who are grateful and give them a hand, so that I can have a helper in the future."
Grandma Li was still not satisfied and kept muttering that her grandson had suffered a loss.
Li Ye kicked Li Dayong on the calf, and the latter hurried out to attract fire.
"Master, Master's Wife, Uncle Kaijian, what Li Ye said is true. Now Li Ye no longer gives exam papers to the class because many people are ungrateful."
Because Li Ye stopped explaining the questions to the students these days, many people were saying strange things and spreading rumors. Li Dayong, Hu Man and others were arguing with those people every day.
However, fewer and fewer people believe that Li Ye is "dedicated to the public", while more and more people ridicule Li Ye for being selfish.
Up to now, there are only a few people left in the "Pro-Li Party" centered around Li Dayong and Hu Man.
"Look at you, look at you, you are a fool, right? You are so kind to others, but in the end you are scolded by others."
“That’s enough!”
Li Zhongfa shouted loudly, and then asked Li Ye and Li Dayong: "How many of these grateful helpers are there?"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Seven."
Li Dayong also said: "Including Wen Leyu, there are seven."
"Seven is not a small number," Li Zhongfa said, "Last year, there were only seven people who passed the exam in the entire county."
"So what do you think about the future? What will you do if the teacher asks you for questions or papers again?"
Having gone through so many ups and downs, Li Zhongfa immediately found the key point.
Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Li Ye to give and explain questions to his students anymore, but what about the teacher?
There is still a lot of time before the college entrance examination. It is impossible for the seven of you not to do the new test paper, right? If the teacher comes to you, Li Ye, to ask for the test paper, how will you deal with it?
The positions of students and teachers are different.
The students were crowded on the single-plank bridge, wishing they could knock everyone down with one stick, leaving only themselves on the bridge.
But the teacher wanted all his students to line up in order and cross the bridge smoothly.
One is following one's inner selfishness, and the other is holding great and noble justice. When the two collide and conflict, the individual is obviously weaker on the moral level.
Li Ye nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem. I plan to let Dayong and the others practice questions in a few days. The teacher will definitely find out."
Li Zhongfa frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this matter, I will solve it for you.
How are you going to receive the editor from the island city? Do you need me to find a few people from the county literary association to accompany you?"
"No need for that," Li Ye refused, "It's hard to negotiate the price with outsiders present."
"Price?" Li Zhongfa was stunned and asked, "What price?"
"The royalties!"
Li Ye said strangely: "The current national regulations stipulate that the manuscript fee is 3-10 yuan per thousand words. My goal is the highest 10 yuan. In fact, I value the reprint fee more. That is a constant source of money."
Li Zhongfa: “.”
Li Kaijian: “.”
Everyone in the Li family plus Li Dayong: "."
After a while, Li Zhongfa asked, "Xiao Ye, do you write novels for money?"
"Of course," Li Ye said firmly, "Who would do it if you don't pay?"
Li Kaijian's face was full of disdain and contempt: "You are so young and only care about money. You are obsessed with money."
"What's wrong with doing it for money? What's wrong with doing it for money? You two grown men are not as good as my grandson!"
The old lady of the Li family was fed up and scolded her husband and son. Then she asked Li Ye: "My dear grandson, how much money can you make from this novel?"
Li Ye thought about it for a while and said, "It's only a few thousand yuan at the beginning! It will be a long-term income later."
"Wow~~"
Everyone was shocked. After all, a few thousand dollars these days was a huge sum of money.
But Li Zhongfa suddenly had an idea and figured out something.
The money Li Ye earned from selling hemp candy is still a bit hot, so he hides it at home and doesn't dare to spend it. But if he has this large sum of royalties, wouldn't it all be covered up?
Thinking of this, Li Zhongfa looked up at his grandson, but happened to meet Li Ye's eyes.
Li Ye smiled complacently.
[Grandpa, you are right. That is what I think.]
. . .
Dong Yuejin squeezed on a green train for more than ten hours and then took a two-hour bus ride before he got from the island city to Qingshui County.
After getting off the bus, I asked along the way and finally arrived at Qingshui County No. 2 Middle School.
"Who are you looking for? Which unit?"
Old Liu from the message room stopped Dong Yuejin in a hoarse voice.
"I'm looking for Li Ye. I'm from Blue Ocean Publishing House. This is my work ID."
Dong Yuejin took out his workmanship and handed it to Old Liu.
Old Liu took it and pretended to look at it, then he rolled his eyes upwards and peeked at Dong Yuejin.
He can't read, but he can read people.
Dong Yuejin is a typical scholar at first glance, and he is in the same group as the teachers in the school.
As a school security guard, Old Liu knows how difficult teachers can be and they can talk to you for a whole day about the same thing.
"The office is over there. Never mind. I'll take you there!"
Old Liu cursed his bad luck in his heart, but after thinking it over, he still led Dong Yuejin over.
After being scolded by Jin Peng some time ago, Old Liu held a grudge against Li Ye.
But a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Seeing that Li Ye was about to gain power and he couldn't afford to offend him, he had no choice but to give in.
"Principal Chang, this is a comrade from the publishing house who is here to look for Li Ye. I brought him here."
"From the publishing house?"
Principal Chang, who was reading a document, suddenly looked up and came forward with a smile on his face.
"Are you from Dahe Publishing House? Oh, welcome!"
“.”
Dong Yuejin felt the strength of Principal Chang's sincere handshake and murmured suspiciously in his heart: "Dahe Publishing House? No."
Dong Yuejin suddenly woke up and guessed that Li Ye had submitted the same manuscript to multiple publications.
"Oh, um, can I meet Li Ye? Our president gave me a task, I must meet Li Ye in person as soon as possible."
"I understand. Li Ye is a bit stubborn, but he is young. He must be energetic and vigorous.
After receiving your call, we have already criticized and educated him."
Dong Yuejin was a little confused.
[Child? Principal, what are you talking about? ]
