New Type of Encouragement to Study
"I can't get through this day any more."
During the break, Jian Jianan talked to his deskmate Duan.
"I have no hope at all, absolutely no hope at all!"
"Do you know how I've been spending this past week? Have you been counting the days until the monthly exam?"
Ever since Jian Jianan spent all five business tickets last weekend, her energy and spirit seemed to have been drained out of her body. It is no exaggeration to say that she looked like she was broken.
But, aren't there five business tickets in total?
Shen Ya has used three cards, so there should be two left!
Jian Jianan was furious: "Listen to what you are saying! If I go to Shenya, can I not go to Nanbei Group?"
Indeed, Jian Jianan didn't favor one over the other. On Saturday, she went to Shenya to discuss factory construction with Deng Bitong. On Sunday, she went to the Nanbei Hotel to ask her beloved Xiao Taojie if there had been any changes to the Ma Clan's recruitment process.
The last two business tickets were used up when I went to the Nanbei Hotel on Sunday.
When the last business ticket was used up, Jian Jianan was driven out by Sister Xiao Tao, whom she always thought was a close sister. She can still clearly recall how resolute Sister Xiao Tao's attitude was and how cold her tone was, as if she were two completely different people from what Jian Jianan remembered.
Jian Jianan couldn't believe it and wanted to cry on the spot to accuse her cold-hearted sister Xiao Tao. However, Yang Tao had already received Su Qinxuan's instructions and was not soft-hearted at all. Jian Jianan's tears had no effect on her at all.
"I feel like, having used up all those five one-birth-one-vote tickets, I'm just a burden in their eyes."
After the recollection ended, Jian Jianan, who was sitting in the classroom, spoke to Duan in a very serious tone.
Duan Duan pursed her lips, then flattened them again and again, repeating this several times. She had been hearing Jian Jianan whispering about this matter in her ear for the past few days, so she naturally understood the ins and outs of their family's issuance of business bills. She couldn't hold back her smile at this moment. If Nan Nan hadn't told her in person, Duan Duan would never have thought that there would be such a thing as a business bill in this world.
Not to mention the existence of this thing, it was specially issued by Jian Jianan's parents so that their daughter, who performed poorly in the monthly exam, could spend more time on studying and less on their own business.
Thinking of this, Duan Duan couldn't help but ask Jian Jianan curiously: "Hey, Nannan, was the business ticket something your father invented himself? Then wouldn't it be your parents' unique inheritance?"
Jian Jianan lay on the table, bored. "Yeah, anyway, I haven't heard of anyone else having this thing. It must have been invented by my parents. It's so hard for them. They work so hard outside all day, and then come home and have to work late into the night to think of a way to deal with me. They must be exhausted!"
Jian Jianan was indignant, thinking that her parents must be laughing at her behind her back.
Especially on Sunday night, her last day at home, Su Qinxuan pretended to be casual and asked how much business tickets she had left.
When Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping learned that Jian Jianan had used up all five of her business tickets in two days, they were overjoyed and burst into laughter. The atmosphere in the living room was extremely cheerful at that time. Of course, the only one who was unhappy was Jian Jianan herself.
Jian Jianan lay sideways on the desk, arguing with each paragraph with his fingers stretched out, "When is the next monthly exam?"
"One, two, three... five days. The exam is in five days. The exam will take two days, and the results will also take two days. Doesn't that mean we won't know the results until nine days later?"
By that time, even if her grade ranking moved up ten places, she could get an extra business ticket, but that was so long ago. Only one hour in more than ten days, it was too uneconomical!
Jian Jianan muttered to himself, calculating and complaining at the same time.
But even if she wanted to change it, she couldn't. Because her parents had already discussed it that day, how could she, a little kid, ask her parents to change their minds?
It would be great if her brother was here. In that case, Jian Jianan would be confident that she could convince her brother to stand on her side. Then, it would be two against two and end in a tie, and her parents would not be so quick to finalize the business ticket.
"Oh..." Jian Jianan let out a long sigh. Who told his brother to go to college to embrace a new life after finishing the college entrance examination? Now he is the only one left at home living the hard life of a senior high school student!
She thought for a while, glanced at the paragraph, especially at the corners of her mouth that were raised, and immediately became unhappy.
Jian Jianan suddenly stood up from the table and questioned Duan in disbelief: "Luoluo, if I saw correctly, you were laughing just now, right?!"
Jian Jianan couldn't believe it: "How could you be like this? Your dear deskmate is suffering right now, suffering terribly! You listened to my complaints and didn't think about me at all, but instead laughed at me. I really misjudged you, Luoluo. I'm angry, I'm telling you, I'm really angry!"
Jian Jianan said she was angry, but she didn't really mean it. After she said that, she lay back on the table, muttering, "I have to find a way. I have to find a way."
Duan Duan was not afraid at all. After being pointed out by Jian Jianan, she stopped hiding it. The corners of her mouth became wider and wider, and in the end she even laughed softly.
"Nannan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I actually agree with what your uncle and aunt did!"
Jian Jianan: "Hey, why are your elbows turned outwards?"
The paragraph continued, "Don't be so anxious. Listen to me first. First of all, your uncle and aunt are definitely doing this for your own good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much time and effort to come up with this business idea for you to learn from."
Jian Jianan nodded, "I know, I know they're doing this for my own good! Speaking of which, it was after I got my first monthly exam results that I sounded the alarm for Mom and Dad. I was a little too complacent recently, and even sacrificed a small amount of time that should have been spent on studying to get involved in the family business. Mom and Dad came up with this idea out of desperation."
"Don't you understand it very well?" Duan looked at her in confusion.
"I'm not saying this method is bad! I just think their conditions are too harsh. Think about it, there are 720 hours in a month, but my parents only give me five hours as a foundation. To get more hours, I have to pass the exam and get a good grade. But the monthly exam only comes once a month, and my parents don't count those quizzes and other small tests. This means I only have one chance a month to increase my business hours, which is not enough for me!"
Duan Duan restrained his smile and began to give her serious advice.
"I see..."
She persuaded him. Five hours was definitely not enough for a money-grubber and workaholic like Jian Jianan. But was there any better idea?
Duan Ruo knew that Jian Jianan's family was a relatively democratic one. Even if Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping made any unilateral decisions, they would tell their two children and sit down together as a family to discuss it.
"How about this, during this time, you should agree to your parents' conditions, and then concentrate on preparing for the monthly exam in five days to see how your results are. If you're lucky and your results are very good and among the top, and if you've made great progress compared to the last time, Nannan, you can take this monthly exam result to negotiate with your parents."
The idea that Duan Duan came up with was completely from Jian Jianan's perspective.
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up. Negotiation?
She and Duan had been friends for several years, and she immediately understood what she meant.
If her results in this monthly exam are really good, then she will have a good chance of success in the negotiations.
"I understand what you mean, Luoluo!"
Jian Jianan clapped his hands happily. "You mean, if my test scores are good this time, I can use them as a bargaining chip when I go to my parents. I'm not saying I want to break the contract, I just want to ask them if they can take the scores from other tests into account. Is that what you mean?"
Duan Duan nodded, indicating that he thought exactly the same as she did.
"Yes, yes. Think about it, think about it carefully. Our school has more than a dozen exams, big and small. In addition to the monthly exams, teachers of many subjects also have daily tests, every two or three days. Several major subjects are also combined for a weekly test, so there will be one test a week. As long as your parents agree to include the results of these exams in the assessment criteria for business tickets, then your ways of obtaining business tickets will be greatly increased!"
Jian Jianan murmured to himself, "That's right, Luoluo, you are right."
The exam only happens once a month in January, so doesn’t that mean she only has one chance a month?
If he is lucky, Jian Jianan's test ranking can improve by ten places, but he won't be lucky in every test, so there is also the possibility of regression. Although the risk is not high, anything is possible and cannot be ignored.
If there is a monthly exam and the result she gets after studying so hard is not ideal due to one reason or another, doesn’t that mean that Jian Jianan will not be able to get any extra business that month?
Jian Jianan figured out the key point and immediately shook Duan's hand, thanking him affectionately: "Duan, you are truly my dear deskmate! Not only do you take care of me in life, but you also guide me when I'm lost. I declare you my best friend, no doubt about it!"
Faced with Jian Jianan's sincerity, Duan Duan felt shy. She waved her hands modestly and said, "Oh, oh, oh, it's not that great. It's not that great. I can help you, Nan Nan, and that's already great. You don't have to thank me in such a big way."
"No, no, no, you can't say that. You helped me with this, and I must thank you."
"Ah, it's not all my credit. I just said a few words and gave you an idea. How to implement it is still up to you! I just played a tiny, insignificant role!"
"But I must thank you, so don't refuse..."
Seeing the two people at the front table immediately displaying their sisterly love, Lin Chuan, who had been watching the entire process from the back row, was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes, poked his deskmate Shan Jiqing with his pen cap, and asked him, "Hey, was I seeing things? If I wasn't mistaken, weren't those two people up front looking so sad just now? How come they're suddenly so beaming?"
He didn't expect to get an answer from Shan Jiqing, and Lin Chuan's questions came one after another.
"Hey, by the way, do you know what happened to Nan Nan recently?"
Lin Chuan's face was filled with curiosity. Although he was also a member of the four-person group, when it came to closeness of relationship, he was still not as close to Jian Jianan as Shan Jiqing and Duan Duan. But this was normal. After all, Shan Jiqing was Jian Jianan's downstairs neighbor, and Duan Duan was of the same gender as Jian Jianan. Girls had a lot of common topics, so they were much closer than Lichuan and Lin Chuan.
After hearing Lin Chuan's question, Shan Jiqing, who had been looking ahead, retracted his gaze.
"Of course I do."
Jian Jianan had already talked to him about the business ticket when they were in school. At that time, the two of them were sitting in the car, driving towards the school together, and Jian Jianan had already talked about this issue with Shan Jiqing who was in the same car.
"What, you know too?" Lin Chuan was stunned. He must be the only one who didn't know!
But then his eyes rolled. Shan Jiqing knew it earlier, but looking at his current expression, it seemed that knowing it earlier would not help Jian Jianan solve the problem.
Lin Chuan suddenly gave a wicked smile and nudged his deskmate with his elbow, deliberately teasing him, "Didn't you say you knew it a long time ago? But it seems you don't have any good ideas. Duan Duan made Jian Jianan so happy with just a few words. She must have a way!"
I have to say that although Lin Chuan looks honest, he does have some bad intentions. He said this because he knew the intricate connection between Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing, and that Shan Jiqing was often complacent about her identity as a "good wife", so he said the above sentence specifically to tease him.
"You're right." Shan Jiqing withdrew his gaze and admitted his mistake to Lin Chuan.
"Ah? Ahhh?" Lin Chuan was stunned by his reaction. After I said so much, this is your reaction.
Shan Jiqing didn't care about Lin Chuan's reaction. He was already deeply reflecting on himself. "You're right. It's my fault for not helping Nan Nan solve her problem. I was obviously the first person to know that she was troubled by this, but I couldn't think of a better solution. In the end, it's all my fault."
Shan Jiqing sighed deeply at this point, already reflecting deeply. Ultimately, he wasn't as agile and intelligent as Duan. Even though he'd achieved excellent academic results, dominating the top spot for months, he couldn't even help Jian Jianan solve a problem. So, what good was that top-tier score?
“I should have done better…”
Shan Jiqing kept on talking, and Lin Chuan was stunned. "No, brother, I was just joking just now, but why do you sound like I'm making a confession of guilt?"
I have to say that Lin Chuan's metaphor is really apt. The way Shan Jiqing mutters about the mistakes he has made is just like an ancient emperor issuing a self-criticism edict!
"Ding-ling-ling!"
Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and the bell rang on time. Jian Jianan, who had solved a difficult problem in his life, was in a good mood. He and Duan Duan stood up and prepared for class.
The next class was Chinese. The head teacher, Li Xinwen, walked in with a lesson plan. She looked around and observed the mental state of the classmates. Seeing that almost every classmate's eyes were glued to her after she came in, and they seemed ready for class, she nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, this is the mental outlook of a senior high school student!
"Attend class."
“Hello, teacher!”
Jian Jianan, whose mind was just full of how to tell his parents so that they would agree if he did well in the monthly exam, and what kind of negotiation skills he should use, now didn't dare to think about it anymore and devoted himself to the class.
After all, the college entrance examination is not just about Chinese, and the Chinese test score is still a relatively important subject!
The forty-minute Chinese class passed in a flash, and it was time to end the get out of class. Li Xinwen was still reluctant to leave, so he extended the class for a few minutes to share more knowledge points with his classmates.
Five minutes later, she finally stopped her endless lecture and spoke to the students below with a lingering look on her face.
"Okay, that's all for this class. Class representatives, remember to write the homework I assigned on the blackboard later. Don't forget! And remember to go back and review Unit 3. We'll be covering it tomorrow..."
After Li Xinwen assigned the homework, he remembered his role as the class teacher, put on a serious face, and began to educate the students sitting below.
"Classmates, you are already seniors now. I know that school has just started, and most of you haven't adjusted your mindset yet. Are you still thinking about the happy summer vacation that just passed? This is not okay!"
"A high school senior should act like a high school senior, okay?! Let me tell you, the college entrance exam is incredibly competitive. Do you know that a single point can move you up 150 places in the province? In life, a single penny can stump a man, but in the exam room, it stumps more than just the men!"
"So, all of you, strap yourself in and change your mindset as soon as possible! Studying now isn't for your parents, your teachers, or other irrelevant people. It's all for yourselves! Your deskmate doesn't go out to play after class, but studies in the classroom. He happened to come across a question on the college entrance exam and got all the marks. And you, on the other hand, rush out as soon as the bell rings. Forget about studying in the classroom. It's like you have springs under your chair, you can't even sit still. How can you expect to get high scores? That's just wishful thinking!"
"The truth is revealed in the details, students! Don't blame the teacher for being harsh and blunt. Good medicine tastes bitter but is effective. What the teacher says are all sincere words tested by decades of teaching experience. They are all words from the heart!"
Jian Jianan didn't dare to move. She put her hands on the desk and listened carefully to what the head teacher said.
She knew that Li Xinwen was sincere. Although she had been saying these words since the first day Li Xinwen became their class teacher, due to the sacred fact of the college entrance examination, Jian Jianan did not dare to refute a single word.
Li Xinwen spoke for a long time and finally finished. She finally looked around at the energetic students sitting below the podium, nodded with satisfaction and left.
"Alas, Teacher Li is finally gone." The paragraph expresses emotion.
After hearing this, Jian Jianan relaxed his entire body, slumping back onto the chair with a soft, boneless expression. "Yes, yes, Teacher Li has finally left. You don't know, she's said this so many times, dozens or even hundreds of times! I've heard it so many times that my ears are almost callused!"
“Who says it’s not?”
"Hey Luoluo, I thought about the idea you just gave me during class. Would you like to listen to it? Help me see if it's perfect or not."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
"It's like this..."
Ding-a-ling!
But before Jian Jianan and Duan Duan could say a few words, the bell for the next class rang. It was no wonder, because Li Xinwen had just taken up seven or eight minutes of the break, and the remaining few minutes were only enough for going to the bathroom. Some students were even late because they were stuck at the classroom door.
Jian Jianan immediately stopped thinking about the business tickets and quickly came to his senses, pricked up his ears and listened to the next math class.
After the whole morning passed and it was time for lunch, Jian Jianan finally had a long period of relaxation. The students all went back to the dormitory for lunch break, and Jian Jianan found an open place to sit down, writing and drawing on the paper with the pen in her hand. She frowned from time to time and changed a few words, and then relaxed her body and mind and frowned the next second, obviously she had thought of something good again.
After finishing the revisions on the negotiation document, Jian Jianan put down his pen, stood up, and stretched himself, only then did he have the energy to think about other things.
She took out her pager to check if there were any unread messages from others. To her surprise, the pager screen was completely clear, without a single unread message!
Jian Jianan didn't give up. He found the familiar number and edited a message and sent it.
"Sister Tongtong, how is it going? Have we encountered any difficulties on site at Shenya Clothing recently?"
After sending the first message, there was no reply from Deng Bitong. Jian Jianan waited for several minutes, but Deng Bitong still did not reply with any new message.
That's impossible. Sister Tongtong is a mobile phone fan and she always carries her pager with her. Jian Jianan even suspects that when Deng Bitong takes a shower, she will specially make the PPT waterproof and put it on the marble sink!
So Jian Jianan didn’t think at all that Deng Bitong hadn’t seen the news. She definitely wanted to handle it coldly!
After thinking this through, Jian Jianan immediately sent several messages to Deng Bitong in succession.
"Sister Tongtong, please pay attention to me, please pay attention to me!"
"Hello, Sister Tongtong, are you there? If you are, please reply me!"
"Hello, beautiful Sister Tongtong, I have something to ask you. I look forward to your reply. Thank you."
It has to be said that this series of information attacks was very effective. As expected, not long after Jian Jianan sent the last message, Deng Bitong's reply came late.
"Nannan, don't ask me anymore. Your dad won't let me talk to you."
Jian Jianan was full of questions. What did Deng Bitong mean? She made it seem like she was still a child.
Jian Jianan remembered that only when she was little and was really annoyed would she say to the person who kept harassing her, "Don't ask me questions, my dad won't let me talk to you."
How come Sister Tongtong is infected now?
Jian Jianan didn't give up. He pretended not to see Deng Bitong's reply and continued to send her messages.
Unexpectedly, the following messages fell on deaf ears. If Jian Jianan had not checked several times to see if the communication was normal, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with Deng Bitong's pager, which was why she couldn't receive it.
It can be imagined that Deng Bitong really listened to Jian Yangping's words. Jian Yangping asked her not to care about Jian Jianan without a business ticket, and she really ignored him.
Jian Jianan pressed the buttons of the pager in discontent. She was quite strong, as if to vent her anger. While pressing, Jian Jianan thought, Deng Bitong, you are such a wavering little grass. I declare now that our sisterhood and revolutionary comradeship are gone. After I finish the college entrance examination, if you still want to get it back, then you should reflect on your mistakes today. When I think your repentance is sufficient, I will restore our sisterhood!
But it didn’t matter. Since Deng Bitong didn’t reply to the message, she immediately thought of another candidate.
Jian Jianan smiled complacently, and the smile returned to his face. He familiarly dialed another person's contact number and sent her a message.
"Sister Xiuli, I heard you've returned from your province-wide search. I haven't congratulated you on your successful search for new talent for the Ma Clan yet! But I believe that with your years of experience and superb cooking skills, you can definitely do it! I wonder what the results are. Sister Xiuli, how many talented talents did you find for the Ma Clan this time?"
Jian Jianan thought about the wording, checked it, and clicked send immediately after confirming it was correct.
She smiled smugly. Deng Bitong was a shrewd person who wouldn't let go of even the slightest mistake, so naturally, she wouldn't be willing to make concessions. But Ma Xiuli was different. She was a very honest and simple person, without any ulterior motives. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been harmed so badly by Lu Zude when she was in the Ma Clan!
So, even if there is a business ticket, she believes that under her thousands of tricks, Sister Xiu Li will not be able to escape from her palm!
Now I just have to wait for Sister Xiu Li’s reply!
Sister Xiu Li is not a girl addicted to mobile phones like Deng Bitong. She has always been immersed in her own world. She is either busy with work or developing new dishes in the kitchen. It is normal for her to wait for a long time without replying to messages.
Jian Jianan was not in a hurry at all. She was prepared to receive Ma Xiuli's reply when she returned to class after lunch break.
Who would have thought that a new message would come in the next second.
It was sent by Ma Xiu Li.
Jian Jianan's face immediately fell after seeing it.
"Nannan, don't ask anymore. Your mother won't let me talk to you."
The next second after Jian Jianan read this sentence, he immediately threw the BP machine far away. It hit the soft grass but was not damaged.
She held her head and stomped her feet a few times to vent her anger.
Deng Bitong's dad is on the other side, and Nanbei Group's mom is on the other side. Mom and Dad, how many people have you told this to? You can't just tell it to everyone you meet. If you tell it to everyone, won't you be the one who, after the college entrance exam next year, becomes that money-grubber who doesn't even study hard in school and only cares about inheriting the family business?
This character setting sounds too crazy, and Jian Jianan doesn't want it at all.
She vented for a while, calmed down, and replied to Ma Xiu Li.
"All right."
Ma Xiuli is a young and naive person who is very stubborn. Once she makes up her mind about something, she will not change it no matter what.
Since she has already said this, then the matter is set in stone, and Ren Jiannan will not reveal it anymore no matter what.
Jian Jianan went crazy. It seemed that it was impossible to get the help from his subordinates. Everything depended on the monthly exam!
Therefore, whether it was the people around Jian Jianan or her parents who had always been worried that Jian Jianan would get obsessed with the business ticket issue, they were all surprised to find that their daughter had become more and more diligent recently!
This is specifically reflected in the fact that Jian Jianan used all the free time she could find, whether it was eating or taking a bath, to study.
For example, when Jian Jianan was waiting in line for food in the cafeteria, he would suddenly take out a few small pieces of paper from his pocket and recite them to himself; or, when Jian Jianan was waiting in line for a shower at night, he would suddenly take out a booklet of idioms from his waterproof clothes pocket and carefully read a few unfamiliar idioms that he was not familiar with.
In short, she seemed to have finally gotten her bearings, or as if something was chasing her and biting her, and she devoted herself completely to studying.
Moreover, Jian Jianan's eagerness to learn naturally shocked the people around him, infected them, and led them to study positively together.
Li Xinwen, the head teacher, is the teacher who pays the most attention to the students in the class. Naturally, he has noticed Jian Jianan's enthusiastic performance in recent times. During a break after class, he specifically called Jian Jianan to his office to talk to him.
"Nannan, I've noticed your performance over the past few days and I've taken it to heart. I'm a little worried about you. Please don't let your results from the last monthly exam affect you."
Teaching and educating people, a teacher’s responsibility is not only to teach, educating students is also a very important thing.
In education, Li Xinwen strongly supports paying close attention to students' mental health and giving them correct guidance.
Li Xinwen does not agree with students studying blindly. A healthy mental state and a healthy body are the revolutionary capital to ensure that they continue to learn.
Therefore, Li Xinwen was a little worried that Jian Jianan was stimulated by the decline in his monthly exam results last time, which was why he seemed like a different person and studied hard.
"Ah? Teacher, what did you say?" Jian Jianan was puzzled.
Li Xinwen frowned. She couldn't tell whether Jian Jianan was forcing a smile or expressing his true feelings. After thinking about it, she continued speaking, helping Jian Jianan sort out his psychological situation as she had originally planned.
"Nannan, I've been through this myself. Did you know that when I was little, I took studying as a very important thing, just like you?"
"Ah, I don't know, teacher, can you tell me about it?"
Normal students treat teachers with awe, regarding them as more important than anything else, and would even argue with their parents over a single word from a teacher. However, Jian Jianan wasn't afraid of her teachers at all. On the contrary, she treated them with a sense of normalcy, and therefore spoke to them in a relaxed and cheerful tone.
Li Xinwen didn't feel offended at all and told his story in detail.
"When I was your age, I was also in school. The conditions back then were much more difficult than they are now. My parents always told me that studying was the only way out. This sentence has been deeply engraved in my mind. I never slacked off. Back then, I had to climb over several mountains to get to the village primary school. I got up before dawn every day. Even the roosters that crowed early didn't get up as early as you, teacher!"
"This schedule lasted throughout my entire schooling. I woke up early every day to go to school, studied for nearly ten hours, and then had to cross mountains and rivers to get home. You have to remember, I was just a teenager at the time. How could I have endured such strenuous labor? Thanks to my diligent study, I finally..."
"The teacher finally got into a good school with his good grades, and won a lot of praise for his hard work. He was assigned to our school as a teacher, right?"
Jian Jianan's eyes sparkled as he guessed this.
"No, the teacher finally gave up. His body couldn't take it anymore and he fell ill. It must have been three weeks. As a result, he missed the last and most important exam of that semester."
Jian Jianan: "..."
This is really unexpected. Teacher, you really don’t play by the rules!
Seeing Jian Jianan stunned by his childhood experience, Li Xinwen couldn't help but laugh softly, "So, Nannan, do you understand? The teacher is telling you all this so that you can take care of your health and not get carried away. Otherwise, you'll miss the exam because you don't have a healthy body, and you'll regret it. And the teacher doesn't want you to regret it."
Jian Jianan finally understood and nodded. Teacher Li Xinwen was concerned about him and was using her own experience to subtly remind him not to overwork himself.
"Okay, teacher, I understand what you said. Thank you for your concern. I will keep it in mind."
Li Xinwen: "Don't just keep it in mind; you have to put it into action. A temporary drop in grades is only temporary. As long as you adjust your mindset, study methods, and strategies in the future, you can easily catch up. So, don't be afraid, don't rush. Only by taking one step at a time can you move forward faster, okay?"
As if remembering something, Li Xinwen suddenly laughed: "Come to think of it, I might have known you before you knew me!"
Ah, is it still like this? When Jian Jianan heard this news, his eyes suddenly lit up and his ears perked up, wanting to hear what the head teacher would say next.
Li Xinwen saw Jian Jianan like this, like a squirrel that had found food for the winter. She thought she was adorable and didn't keep her in suspense. "You don't know, you're very famous here!"
"I once ran into Principal Xue Wenxue when I was at a meeting at the Education Bureau. You should remember him, right?"
Jian Jianan nodded. Of course she remembered. Principal Xue was the principal of her elementary school. Although she only stayed in the elementary department of Hydrangea Primary School for one year and had only dealt with Principal Xue that one time, it was that one encounter that allowed their family to continue to open a cafeteria in the school and accumulate a large amount of funds.
"As soon as we met, Principal Xue asked me if I knew about Jian Jianan. I said yes, there's a student named Jian Jianan in my class. Then, she told me that Jian Jianan had started a small business in elementary school, buying food for others on campus. He made a ton of money, helping his classmates solve their breakfast problems while also earning a reasonable commission for himself. He's such a shrewd money-grubber!"
Huh? Is this how Principal Xue evaluates her outside? Jian Jianan had never known about this incident. Ever since it happened, Jian Jianan would greet Principal Xue whenever she saw her at school, and she would respond warmly. But other than that, she had no other communication with Principal Xue.
This was the first time that Jian Jianan knew that Principal Xue actually paid attention to her, which high school she attended, who her homeroom teacher was, and even talked to her homeroom teacher.
Li Xinwen looked at Jian Jianan's rare ignorance and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, it's enough for you to know about this matter. Go back and digest it carefully."
"Oh, and don't forget what I just said. You must remember these four words: 'work and rest'."
"Yes, I know, teacher." After apologizing to the teacher, Jian Jianan left the office.
She thought Li Xinwen was looking for her for something, but it turned out to be because of this. Jian Jianan laughed softly at the door of the office. Although it was an unexpected thing, her heart was filled with warmth.
With such a caring teacher and so many friends and family members who care about her, how could she not work hard?
You must take good care of your body to achieve better results!
What Jian Jianan didn't know was that while she was chatting with Li Xinwen, the teacher at the next desk was also chatting with her student. After Jian Jianan left, the teacher said to her student with a look of disappointment: "Look at her, then look at yourself! That student was called in by the homeroom teacher to talk because she studied too hard. Too much is as bad as too little. That's why you, Teacher Li, wanted to persuade her to relax a little and not be so hard on herself. And you, on the other hand, are too kind to yourself, always focusing on eating, drinking and having fun. I'd be thankful if you could learn even a little bit from that girl!"
"Zhang Yu! Zhang Yu, did you hear me?!"
