Chapter 62 (2/2)
Enthuthiasm and hardworking are indeed powerful talents, but one must exercise them in the right direction to maximize their potential, otherwise it would be just a waste of time and effort.
Even with the ability of Xu Jing, Zhao Youyue could never be the best student because of her average talent on learning, but it was already enough for her to be one of the top students.
Her fellow student, Huang Zongchao was the very best student in school, he would always excel in midterms or final exams, he participated in mathematics and physics exams, even Chen Haoran were impressed by this amazing feats.
Not only that his mathematics and physics were great, so do his language subjects, especially English. He could always scored more than 110 points out of 120 even with increased difficulty in high school, a freak indeed.
Even though there were a lot of remarkable students in this semester, Huang Zongchao was still one of a kind. Everyone in high school would know his name. There were indeed a lot of geniuses, Zhao Youyue could not keep up with them, not even with the help of a golden finger.
Zhao Youyue was not in pursuance of a perfect result. She wanted nothing more than the identity of an elite scholar, as that could increase her sense of presence and bring happiness upon her parents, she might then obtain some privileges. The result of semester finals had been sent to their home. Her father, Zhao Jiayi rejoiced when knowing that she was ranked 7th in class, he then gave her 50,000 RMB as a reward without hesitation. After all, that high school was one of the famous schools around the area, certainly it would make her father proud. Even her mother, Wang Hua who usually teased her was praising her as well. She might not be giving Zhao Youyue a reference book as her birthday present next time.
These were the obvious benefits of getting a good result for Zhao Youyue. She did not study to gain more knowledge to become a scientist or what, but solely for the sake of her freedom. She just wanted a carefree life with lots of attention.
Besides improving her result by utilizing Xu Jing character card, Zhao Youyue had decided to pick up a musical instrument again. She remembered her teacher once said that she was blessed with musical talent, but lack of perseverance. Now with the help of Xu Jing, she felt that she could actually exert her music talent to its full potential…
