Chapter 45 Parents
The results were out today, and the number of people attending evening self-study classes reached a record high.
Some of them live on campus, some stay on campus to study, some come to ask questions to the teachers, and of course, there are also some who failed the exam and are afraid to go home and want to probate.
Jiang Zhao also waited until he returned to the dormitory at night and called Jiang Wei to tell him the good news.
Jiang Wei has always held an attitude towards Jiang Zhao's grades: "If he does well, the better; if he doesn't, it doesn't matter."
But ever since Luo Yan was caught by Jiang Wei when he sent her home last time, Jiang Wei's frequency of calling her has increased significantly, always asking her how she is doing at school.
Jiang Zhao felt that Jiang Wei just wanted to ask her if she had a premature love affair, but he didn't dare to ask too directly.
So she called Jiang Wei immediately and her message was very clear - see, your daughter, I have been concentrating on my studies.
But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Wei's reaction to her getting first place in the grade again was so calm.
In fact, Jiang Wei cannot be blamed.
But Jiang Wei has never felt any real sense of Jiang Zhao's achievements.
He himself had a low level of education, and he sent Jiang Zhao to study at Mingyuan only because he heard from others that Mingyuan and the Affiliated Middle School of Science and Technology were the best schools in the province.
He also thought that science and engineering didn't sound suitable for girls, so he simply sent Jiang Zhao to Mingyuan.
As for academic performance, Jiang Wei really doesn't care much about it.
It was not until he mentioned it to Liu Xiaoping some time ago that Jiang Zhaoyue got the first place in the school.
When Liu Xiaoping learned that Jiang Zhao was attending high school in Mingyuan, her first reaction was disbelief.
Jiang Wei didn't take it seriously and thought there was no point in telling lies.
He immediately found the report card Jiang Zhao had sent him on WeChat and showed it to Liu Xiaoping, saying, "It doesn't matter whether you do well in school."
As long as her father is rich, that's enough.
Jiang Zhao only found out later that Jiang Wei had already prepared a one-stop service for her to study abroad and gild her reputation. Even if she was a real idiot, Jiang Wei could still make her look good.
Jiang Wei also told Liu Xiaoping about his plan. Who knew that after seeing the results, Liu Xiaoping almost scolded Jiang Wei, saying that Jiang Zhao could become the provincial top scorer.
Liu Xiaoping's education level was not high either, but she paid more attention to study and education, and she knew that Mingyuan's first place was the material for the top scholar.
She also didn't know that there was a possibility of being admitted through competition without having to take the college entrance examination.
"Number one scholar?"
Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School has been the provincial top scorer for more than ten years in a row.
His daughter ranked first in the exam at Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School.
His daughter was able to become the top scorer in the provincial examination.
It’s a very simple logical chain, but Jiang Wei had never thought about it.
"No." Jiang Wei said, "That's too hard."
"Why don't you take care of the child?"
"Will I not disturb her then?"
Jiang Wei's train of thought was so unique: "If I ask her about her studies, will Zhao Zhao feel that I am pressuring her?"
"Who told you to ask about studying?" Liu Xiaoping was almost amused by Jiang Wei's anger: "Don't you care about your child's daily life?"
So under Liu Xiaoping's persuasion and advice, Jiang Wei began to pay attention to Jiang Zhao's life.
This caused Jiang Zhao to misunderstand.

When Jiang Zhao hung up the phone, Jiang Shengnan had not returned to the dormitory yet.
This should be a very normal thing. Jiang Shengnan goes out early and comes back late every day, just like a nocturnal animal. She will not appear in the dormitory until the lights are turned off.
Often when Jiang Shengnan came back, Jiang Zhao was already asleep.
Jiang Zhao was still asleep when Jiang Shengnan went out.
Only the occasional flickering lights at night and the subtle noises in the early morning reminded Jiang Zhao that there was another person in the dormitory at night.
But for some reason, Jiang Zhao always felt uneasy.
She sent a WeChat message to Jiang Shengnan.
Jiang: Have you gone home?
No reply.
The next morning, Jiang Shengnan was still not in the dormitory.
No reply to WeChat messages either.
In the bathroom, Jiang Zhao asked Chen Bailing, "Do you remember whether Jiang Shengnan was at the evening study session yesterday?"
Chen Bailing bit her toothbrush and said vaguely: "I didn't notice, didn't she go back to the dormitory?"
"Um."
"I guess the results are out, so I went home." Chen Bailing said, "I can't lose it, right?"
After washing up and having breakfast, the two of them went to Jiaojiao Road together.
When passing by the big office, Jiang Zhao took a look inside.
I saw Jiang Shengnan with a woman.
Judging from her age, the woman should be Jiang Shengnan's mother.
The woman spoke in a high voice that could be heard in the corridor: "I'm talking about her grades now. She's already dropped dozens of places in just a few weeks. How can I be at ease?"
Chen Bailing also saw Jiang Shengnan's grades and knew that she had regressed a lot. She sighed, "Brother Xiong called the parents so early in the morning?"
Chen Bailing's parents were very satisfied with her grades, but being called to school and embarrassing her was another matter.
She held Jiang Zhao's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go. I don't want to be seen."
As soon as the morning reading was over, Jiang Zhao went to the office first, holding half of the math homework he had collected.
In the office, Wang Guoxiong was preparing for a math class. Seeing Jiang Zhao coming, he said with a smile, "Hey, class representative. Why are you here so early today?"
There were only a few teachers in the office.
I didn't see Jiang Shengnan.
"I'll collect some of it first." Jiang Zhao said, putting the homework on the small table next to him.
There are few people on the third floor, the break after morning reading is very short, and there are not many people in the corridor.
Jiang Zhao left the office, looked around, then leaned over the railing to glance at the corridor, but did not see Jiang Shengnan.
The break between morning reading and the first class is only five minutes.
As class was approaching, Jiang Zhao should have gone back to the classroom.
But Jiang Zhao always felt uneasy.
She hesitated for a second and walked towards the main staircase in the opposite direction.
Anyway, the first period is Brother Xiong’s class, so even if she is late, Brother Xiong won’t blame her.
As soon as he turned the corner, Jiang Zhao heard the sharp voice of a strange woman.
"I work so hard every day to feed and clothe you, and this is how you repay me? Do you think you deserve it?"
The two stood face to face. From Jiang Zhao's position, he could see that the woman was glaring at Jiang Shengnan fiercely, as if she was looking at her enemy.
She yelled, "Why aren't you talking? Weren't you quite talkative in front of your teacher just now? Weren't you quite able to talk back to me? You're a worthless piece of shit!"
Jiang Shengnan probably said something, but her voice was too quiet for Jiang Zhao to hear clearly. He only saw the woman poking Jiang Shengnan's forehead with her finger and scolding, "What excuses are you making? Are you the only one in the school participating in the competition? Huh?"
Jiang Zhao was about to stop her when he heard the woman say, "How dare you tell me that your number one is also a woman? Let me ask you, she ranked first in the last competition and still ranked first, but you ranked 16th in the last competition and only ranked over 60th? Are you any less smart than them?"
Jiang Zhao took a half step back.
She is now Jiang Shengnan's control group.
She goes out, and then what?
Do you want to try to persuade others and show how eloquent and graceful you are?
Jiang Zhao hesitated for a moment.
"You always make excuses. Why don't you just say it's because you're not a boy?" the woman said, raising her hand high.
The class bell rang.
The loud slapping sound and the ringing sound overlapped.
