The first class on Monday was taught by Old Class Teacher Wei Xionggui, and everyone was a bit restless. After all, the monthly exam had just taken place, and today the scores would be revealed. The students in the class were uncertain about how they would perform.
Some students even cast a glance at Zhan Lingfeng. Last time, Zhan Lingfeng scored seventy-one points, and everyone was eager to see how he would do this time. They all knew that during the exam, Zhan Lingfeng had received special attention; the supervising teacher frequently walked by him, keeping a close eye on him, leaving no opportunity for cheating.
Li Xiuli noticed that Zhan Lingfeng was diligently studying on the way to class, but she still felt a bit worried and glanced at him.
After scanning the entire class, Wei Xionggui finally focused on Zhan Lingfeng and said, “Our class did not perform well in this exam, but amidst these results, there are still highlights. Our classmate Zhan Lingfeng has made it into the top five of our class and the top fifteen in the entire grade. That’s quite impressive!”
Boom!
The whole class was stunned, all eyes turned to Zhan Lingfeng.
In everyone's mind, even if Zhan Lingfeng could maintain his previous score, it would be good enough. How could he have done so well?
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng appeared very calm. So many days had passed; he had no issues with the foundational knowledge. He just needed to improve his application skills. He estimated that his lost points were due to his application.
Wei Xionggui continued, “I was also surprised by Zhan Lingfeng's score. However, after further investigation, we confirmed that his results are genuine. His achievement deserves recognition. I hope Zhan Lingfeng maintains this learning attitude and makes even greater progress next.”
Zhan Lingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; there was no problem with getting into Yizhong now.
However, he was still pondering his own situation.
Yizhong is indeed a good school, but its atmosphere is quite strict. He would definitely need more free time moving forward; thus, entering Yizhong might not be ideal.
Which middle school should he go to?
Zhan Lingfeng felt a bit of a headache.
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly struck him: if his grades were excellent, would he have room to negotiate with the senior students? Would it be possible to put forth some of his own requests?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was correct; he should focus on his studies first.
Of course, Zhan Lingfeng also had an idea, which was regarding Jiang Lixian. If I remember correctly, that man from Jiang Lixian would soon be going to Inside the County to take a leadership position. At that time, if he could get in touch with the education bureau through the leadership at Inside the County, it might be easier.
Let's walk on two legs!
The matters in the village were naturally being handled by his mother and the village chief. There wasn't much they could do at the moment; the three thousand acres of Tea Garden and three thousand acres of breeding base needed attention. For the Tea Garden, Zhan Lingfeng decided to have the Villagers help dig up Tea Trees. In the past, there were people in the village who grew tea and there was also a Tea Mountain, but many of the Tea Trees were unmanaged. Now, Zhan Lingfeng was offering ten to one hundred yuan for each Tea Tree. As long as they could survive, if the Villagers dug them up and helped plant them, they would be paid. Many people started digging up Tea Trees from various places.
Of course, neither Zhan Lingfeng nor his mother understood this well, so he asked his mother to invite an old tea farmer named Jiang Shuihe from the village to help manage this matter. Besides him, there were also a few others who understood how to plant Tea Trees.
Let's do it this way for now!
Zhan Lingfeng knew that his current funds were far from enough; he needed to raise at least over a million yuan in the shortest time possible.
But how could he make money?
A day passed like this, and after school, everyone was waiting at the school gate again.
"I'm not going with you guys starting today; my sister wants me to go with Countryside."
Jiang Li walked over with a smile on her face, clearly very happy.
"Did your sister get a house?"
"Yeah, my sister wants me to go with her." Zhan Lingfeng glanced at Jiang Li, thinking no wonder legends say that these two sisters ended up with that Old Apricot. It seems that spending more time together really could lead to something.
"How did your sister suddenly get money?" Su Zhiwu asked.
Jiang Li frowned slightly and said, "Alright, I'm just here to let you know. I need to go with my sister to buy some things. I'm leaving."
"Brother Xu, my sister said she will invite you to our place when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll go see it then."
Watching Jiang Li leave, Yang Cheng obviously felt a bit down and said, "I won't go back today either; I'll stay at my Uncle's house."
Zhan Lingfeng understood that the main reason Yang Cheng was willing to walk to school with them was that he liked Jiang Li. Now that Jiang Li had gone to the countryside, he naturally wouldn't walk anymore.
When Yang Cheng left again, Su Zhiwu snorted and said, "Having relatives in the countryside makes you so special!"
Zhan Lingfeng glanced at Li Xiuli and said, "Let's go."
With two companions suddenly gone, everyone's mood was not very good, and there was much less conversation on the way.
In fact, Su Zhiwu had forced himself into their group; Zhan Lingfeng didn't like him and naturally wouldn't talk to him. Li Xiuli had a cool personality and usually walked while reciting something, so she also didn't speak. This made the three of them even quieter.
With an English dictionary in hand, Zhan Lingfeng walked while memorizing English words. In fact, Zhan Lingfeng's English was already quite good; he had long memorized the words from his textbook and was now starting to memorize the dictionary from cover to cover. Aside from his spoken English still needing improvement, Zhan Lingfeng's grasp of English exceeded that of Li Xiuli by a lot.
At this moment, Su Zhiwu said, "Zhan Lingfeng, you're being too pretentious, holding a thick dictionary and memorizing it, ha ha!"
Zhan Lingfeng glanced at him but completely ignored him.
Seeing that Zhan Lingfeng was ignoring him, Su Zhiwu initially wanted to provoke him but lost his target and turned to Li Xiuli instead. "Li Xiuli, I heard your family doesn't want you to continue studying. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuli's expression changed immediately; she bit her lip and said nothing but quickened her pace.
