Chapter 138
Chapter 137 – Divisional Storm (分班风波)
The transfer student had not even arrived yet, but the news of the
Chapter 138 – Transfer Student (1) (转学生(一))
Listening to Xiao Haiqing’s loud voice, the students near the announcement board all immediately stared at the name ‘Qiao Hongye’. As expected, Second Place was now someone else. The originally immoveable Qiao Hongye was actually in the next board of rankings, and was indeed in the 120th place!
Second place to 120th place, the difference was not just a change in a single digit!
“But Qiao Hongye was allocated into Class 1? How is that possible!” Someone suddenly spoke out.
One statement stimulated three layers of waves. There were many students whose grades were actually not bad who were upset because they had been defeated, but they would have never thought that while Qiao Hongye’s grades were equally bad, she was still firmly seated into Class 1. Based on what? They were all students, and they were separated into classes based on their scores, then shouldn’t they be fairer?!
Instantly, some students who had the guts rushed into the office to get an explanation.
Jing Yunzhao and Xiao Haiqing glanced at each other before they shrugged. They did not care which class Qiao Hongye was in.
Unfortunately, that group of students were shooed out of the office not long after. According to what the teachers said, Qiao Hongye took the test while she was sick. Additionally, her grades before were always very good. Just because she dropped ranks this time did not mean that she did not have the right to be a part of Class 1.
The students were unable to defy the school’s decisions, but they were even more disgusted by Qiao Hongye after this.
Especially the students of the new Class 1, who felt like they were insulted. Classes had not even officially started but they already did not have a good impression of Qiao Hongye.
After re-allocating the classes, naturally, the homeroom teacher would also change. The new teacher’s last name was Ji (齐), an old man of about 50 ish years old. Not only was he strict, but he also had a bit of prestige. Even amongst the other teachers, he was the one who had the deepest career history. He was also on the older side, giving the other students several times more pressure.
The students filled up the corridor outside the classroom, while Teacher Ji was standing in front. Wearing a pair of thick glasses, he looked at the ranking list, expression extremely fierce.
“Which one of you is Jing Yunzhao?” Teacher Ji asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Most of the students were trembling in fear. The moment they heard the teacher open his mouth, they immediately gave away Jing Yunzhao’s position.
“It’s me. Greeting Teacher,” Jing Yunzhao returned politely.
Teacher Ji lifted his eyes and gave her a look. Her conduct was natural and unrestrained, but at the same time not stiff. He was somewhat satisfied with her and nodded, “Very good. Go in to pick a seat, you can pick one student to be your deskmate.”
With the reallocation of classes this time, Su Chu and Gan Jinchen had also become her classmates. However, the relationship of the two cousins was good, so she had no intention to be deskmates with Su Chu and break the two apart. Thus, she unhesitatingly picked Xiao Haiqing.
As such, the two girls occupied the best seats in the classroom.
The students of this class were all top students. In the past, they all occupied the first row of seats in their old classes. Now, thinking that they would be assigned to sit at the back, they all started to panic.
Qiao Hongye was the most helpless. Previously, she took second place in the whole school, but now she was the bottom last in the whole of Class 1. The hatred boiled in her heart, she could only follow the transfer student, in case she picked someone else.
Jing Yunzhao was inside the classroom, listening to the homeroom teacher calling out the students names one by one.
“Gan Jinchen.”
“Ji Dayong.”
“Liu Hanhan.”
“Jiang Xia.”
……
…
“Tang Zihua”
Hearing a familiar name, Jing Yunzhao was stunned. She originally thought it was someone else with the same name and surname, but the moment she raised her head, she found out that it was indeed the grandson of that Old Grandpa Tang.
So he was the transfer student?
The resources of the Tang Family were plentiful. Two days ago, she had heard that the request to reallocate classes this time was from one of the school’s investors, and seeing Tang Zihua now, it was difficult for Jing Yunzhao to not to spin out a conclusion.
She saw Tang Zihua walk in alone, having not chosen a deskmate. His goal was very obvious as he shot towards Jing Yunzhao’s direction, and in the end, he sat on Jing Yunzhao’s left, the distance between the two being a mere aisle.
changing of classes had already spread throughout the school.
According to the school, it was necessary to divide the student body into the various classes. Students with the best results would naturally be in the same class. Therefore, on Friday, the whole school had to take a major test.
Jing Yunzhao’s performance had always been very stable, and she answered the questions in full accordance with her norm. When she left the examination hall, she saw that Xiao Haiqing’s expression was not very good.
Xiao Haiqing’s grades had always been floating in the middle-upper reaches. These days, under the influence of Jing Yunzhao, she had also read a lot of books. But in her own opinion, for her to score within the top 50 students, there was still a gap.
What she was worried about was not really her grades, that more or less did not matter to her. The key thing was that if she was going to be allocated to other classes, then she would not be able to find better friends than Jing Yunzhao.
At this moment, her expression was full of anger. Her eyebrows were horizontal, and the momentum made the surrounding students retreat. Then they looked at Jing Yunzhao; Calm and relaxed, a pair of dark-coloured eyes sullen and clean. They were similarly all students, but watching their aura that was always different than the others, with both of them together, other people were afraid to approach.
“You still dare to laugh. If I’m brought down, you will have to face Qiao Hongye alone!” Xiao Hai rolled her eyes and swore at her conscience.
Jing Yunzhao smirked, her eyes burning. “You don’t believe me?”
She recognised Xiao Haiqing as her best friend. Usually, there was not a time when she did not remind her to study. But, with her extravagant and loud behaviour, Xiao Haiqing did not realize that she had improved and was better than before. In addition, class quizzes were not ranked, thus there was no way to know what their grades were ranked in the whole school.
Xiao Haiqing need not even dream about being in the top 10, but it was still possible for her to be ranked in the thirties. She did not have to worry about it at all.
Xiao Haiqing had no way to convince Jing Yunzhao.”I can only press my luck. If I’m really brushed down, at most I’ll have to go back and beg my dad and that woman to give the school some money. In any case, I have to stay in Class 1 no matter what. If that cheap slut Qiao Hongye bullies you, I’ll skin her!”
After that, she coughed twice and pretended to be innocent, as if she was not the one who had just opened their dirty mouth.
What Jing Yunzhao liked about Xiao Haiqing was her straightforward character. Watching her behave like this actually made her quite happy.
The results were going to be officially posted two hours before they would announce the class placement. It was useless for the two of them to be worried now. They might as well just throw aside this baggage and have fun for two days.
On Monday, the school was in turmoil. On the announcement board was a long list of rankings and a rearranged class list.
Jing Yunzhao swept her eyes over and found that all they did was set up a class for the ‘elite’ students. Although the students in other classes were mixed up now, the results were the same as before. There were both good and bad.
“Yun Zhao look, I’m there! 28th! Hahaha, I actually managed to rank 28th? Surely the score-sheet must be mistaken?” Xiao Haiqing was instantly excited. She used to be able to enter the top 100 once in a while. When she was too playful and distracted, she would even score in the 200’s. The teacher had already gotten used to her eccentric achievements!
However, this time, it was obviously a sudden rise. It was unbelievable! Such progress had never been seen before!
Xiao Haiqing gaze towards Jing Yunzhao was filled with eagerness, giving Jing Yun Zhao goosebumps.
“Jing Yunzhao got first place again…” A girl next to them said in admiration. The moment she spoke, some people turned to look at Jing Yunzhao, the envy in their eyes self-evident.
However, because of Jing Yunzhao’s cold atmosphere being too strong, there was only Xiao Haiqing in a radius of a meter from where she stood.
Good looks, good temperament and good grades. Ordinary people being with such girls would go crazy with jealousy. People like Qiao Hongye, for example.
“Ha?” Xiao Haiqing suddenly pointed to the ranking list and smiled, “Qiao Hongye also came to take the exam? She even ranked 120!?”
