They got in because they earned it through their own hard work and ability.
A village girl, just because she got lucky and had wealthy parents, was able to sit in the same classroom as these privileged boys. The boys immediately felt disgusted.
My initial interest vanished instantly.

During lunch break, Xie Li declined Su Ying's invitation and instead went to the cafeteria with Ming Xiaoxiao.
Ming Xiaoxiao's expression held a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to sit with you this morning..."
However, when they arrived at the classroom, most of the seats were already occupied.
Ming Xiaoxiao asked for a seat, but as soon as she sat down, she was told that someone was already sitting next to her.
Xie Li didn't mind: "It's okay." She thought Su Ying was quite nice.
"Really?" Ming Xiaoxiao smiled, her expression somewhat hesitant. "Actually, if you're not used to sitting over there, I can ask Jiang Yifan to switch seats with the homeroom teacher..."
Jiang Yifan was Ming Xiaoxiao's deskmate, an average-looking local boy from a fairly well-off family. He wore thick-rimmed glasses, showing that he studied very hard.
The other person has just been successfully elected as class monitor.
The main reason is that no one wants to run for class monitor. Even Jiang Baili was forced into the leisurely position of study committee member by the homeroom teacher.
Xie Lizhen felt it was okay; she was about to make her first friend since coming to the city and didn't want it to be ruined.
"Really, it's not necessary."
Seeing her repeated refusals, Ming Xiaoxiao seemed to have come to a realization, "That's right, she's also connected to many wealthy families..."
Her smile looked much more forced.
As the two were talking, they bumped into someone.
He was a young man wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a handsome face and a strong air of sophistication. Students kept stopping to greet him along the way, but he just nodded indifferently.
His gaze fell on Ming Xiaoxiao's face, but his expression softened almost imperceptibly.
"Teacher Wen!" Ming Xiaoxiao immediately left Xie Li and ran over.
The two stood a short distance apart, talking. "Why haven't you been coming over lately?"
“I…” Ming Xiaoxiao’s voice hesitated for a long time, “I almost caused the teacher to be held accountable…”
Ming Xiaoxiao lowered her head, and her voice sounded as if she was about to cry from self-reproach.
“It was just an unintentional mistake. If the person in front of you hadn’t left the exam paper there, how could you have accidentally taken the wrong one?” The man’s expression was very calm.
As he spoke, he rubbed his temples. "To be honest, it's my fault. This exam should have been graded manually, but I thought our machine grading system was very good... I should have checked it with the grading team again."
Xie Li listened for a moment and slowly realized that this was probably referring to the incident where Jiang Baili's exam paper was mistakenly taken.
That machine grading system is far too unreliable... Won't it trigger a system alert for different exam papers?
Just as she was thinking this, she felt a strong gaze. She looked up and met the man's eyes.
...She subconsciously moved a little further away, leaving enough space for the two of them to talk.
On the other side, Wenling withdrew his gaze.
Ming Xiaoxiao seemed to sense something and spoke up, "Teacher Wen, that's Xie Li. She's quite smart; she managed to get so many points..."
She knew that Wenling preferred students who were both talented and hardworking.
Wenling's expression was indifferent, clearly indicating he didn't want to discuss it further. "It's not important."
He then said, "Originally, I wanted to promote you to the advanced class this time. After all, it's the first semester of class division, and the students' levels are uneven, so it's hard to see the specific abilities of each individual. Teachers still have a lot of room for selection."
