Chapter 99: So What
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After dinner, Principal Chen, Principal Cao, the teachers from the Provincial No.1 Middle School, along with the head teachers of the classes of the eighth and ninth grade, sat in the conference room.
No one was speaking. They were waiting for the two principals to finish reading the name list.
Sitting in the middle, Mrs. Ke froze as Principal Chen was looking over the registration forms of the eighth grade… Never had the principal supervised any kind of competition before, why was he looking this time!
There were seven classes of the eighth grade. Usually, five or six students, who were the top ten students from their respective classes, would register for the competition.
When he finished browsing the registration forms of the eighth grade, Principal Chen didn’t see Ye Jian’s form.
“Mrs. Ke, give me Ye Jian’s form,” Principal Chen lifted his head, keeping the registration forms. With a sharp look in his eyes, he gazed at Mrs. Ke who had been making things difficult for Ye Jian time and again. He said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Ke, please hand it to me in person.”
With a pale look on her face, Mrs. Ke stood up abruptly. Her face was burning as she was gazed at by her colleagues. “I’m sorry. I… I forgot it. I’m going to fetch it right away.”
She ran away swiftly…
Five minutes later, while holding Ye Jian’s registration form, Principal Cao said with interest, “She signs up for all the subjects. Very confident.” Glancing at Mrs. Ke, who had been keeping her head low since she reentered the office, he said with a smile, “If she is an all-rounder, it’s not impossible that she may be admitted to our school as an exception”
“She knows nothing!” Mrs. Ke panicked as she heard such a speech. She lifted her head to explain, “Principal Cao, Ye Jian is totally a bad student, she…”
“There is no absolute top student, just as there is no absolute bad student. Mrs. Ke, choose your words cautiously,” with a bright smile on his face, Principal Cao interrupted Mrs. Ke. He said cordially, “We will see if she is a bad student on the exam day.”
“The evening study session starts at seven. Well, every teacher please get prepared. The first round of mock exam begins at seven o’clock sharp.”
No one listened to Mrs. Ke’s explanation. The teachers stood up and went to inform their students.
In the office for the deans of studies, Dean Ke handed two sets of exam paper to two students. “If you want to win honors for our school, read this first. You will have a mock exam starting at seven o’clock.”
“Thank you, Dean Ke.” Ye Ying reached out her hands eagerly. But Gao Yiyang pulled her back and said in a cold voice, “Are you telling us to cheat in the exam?”
“Gao Yiyang! What are you talking about?!” Ye Ying was panicked to hear him say that. “Dean Ke lets us read the questions, hoping we can get better results in the exam. It’s not that we are reading the answers!”
Wasn’t it cheating to read the exam questions in advance?
Principal Chen informed Ye Jian about the privileges that Ye Ying was enjoying. Ye Jian smiled calmly. “Don’t worry. Like I said, Ye Ying is my rival that I need to defeat. How can I let her be one step ahead of me?”
“So what if she has read the exam paper? I can win this battle nicely all the same!”
She seemed completely confident in herself, with a contempt look hidden in her jet-black eyes. Principal Chen, who was a bit worried before, raised his eyebrows, laughing loudly. “Girl, to suppress your opponent, make sure she will never shine. Even if she does, you must outshine her!”
Needless to say that Ye Jian would not let Ye Ying achieve what she wished!
Due to the last minute notice, the classroom of Class One Grade Nine was evacuated for the examination’s purpose. Ye Jian took out one sheet from the piles of exam paper and handed the rest to the students behind her. She picked up a pen and started to write.
