C24 (2/2)
Chu Xinran said in her heart, if she did not blame them, then she would not know the ins and outs of what happened. If she knew that Xiao Ding was the culprit, then she would not only blame him, but she would also take a stick and come knocking on the door. However, since Xiao Ding said that Ouyang Tianbu would not come for the time being, then at least there would be one less troublesome matter.
He had thought that if he invited Ouyang Ying's parents, they would kidnap Ouyang Ying and bring him to Class 1, but who would have thought that even after waiting for a long time, they still did not receive any news. No way, he could only go to President Gu's office and report this to him.
However, because of the incident with Xiao Ding, President Gu's prestige had been completely destroyed. He didn't really want to kick Xiao Ding out of the middle school, and after hearing the empty words about Ouyang Ying, he snappily said: ”Whatever, ungrateful students. When their grades fall, they will regret it. Teacher Xu, there's no need for you to be anxious. The monthly test in a month's time, will prove me right! ”
The President Gu ignored the empty words. After calling Ouyang Ying's parents and not having any news, he could only tacitly accept the fact. At most, they would only meet the homeroom teacher of Class 26, Teacher Gu, and they would tease him: ”Teacher Gu, the grades of the students you teach are not good, your poaching skills are top-notch, you actually poached my class' outstanding descendants.”
The Teacher Gu did not argue and only laughed. Since he had poached the best out of everyone else's class, he should at least let them say a few words.
After that, Class 26's class discipline had improved significantly, and no one made any more noise. Moreover, not only did the students of Class 26 listen attentively to the lecture, but after the class, there were also many people who came forward to ask questions that they did not understand. Most of the boys asked Ouyang Ying, and most of the girls asked Xiao Ding. Both of them answered in detail.
Life in high school was intense and orderly. A few days later, the school announced a piece of news: The county's Duan Corporation had sponsored a hundred thousand yuan, and the entire county was hosting a competition for the composition and mathematics of high school students.
Originally, in the past, this kind of competition, there would never be anyone from Class 26, but this year was different. With Xiao Ding and Ouyang Ying there, naturally Class 26 would have the qualifications to participate.
But when President Gu thought of how Xiao Ding had made his life difficult and did not want Xiao Ding and Ouyang Ying to participate, he only informed a few of the class teachers of the Elite class and had them choose students to compete in the county city competition.
When Teacher Gu heard the news, he immediately rushed into the President Gu's office and questioned: ”Principal, this is not fair. Since this is the competition for the whole county's middle school, all the students have the right to compete.
President Gu and Teacher Gu were from the same family, and the two of them were even related. According to their seniority, President Gu had to be called Uncle Teacher Gu, so when no one was willing to bring the higher ups to Class 26, President Gu asked the Teacher Gu to bring the class over.
With this layer of relationship, the President Gu didn't dare refute his words. He immediately asked, ”Teacher Gu, do you think this matter …”
The Teacher Gu said: ”It would be best if we could hold a competition within the scope of the entire school. Each class could send out a few people, and then choose who gets to participate.”
Helpless, the President Gu could only let the Education Bureau hold up an Elite Competition.
Naturally, Class 26 sent Xiao Ding and Ouyang Ying there.
The selection round would be held on Wednesday afternoon, and when Xiao Ding and his friends arrived, they were just in time to bump into Duan Shiwen and the rest.
Seeing Xiao Ding, Duan Shiwen snorted heavily, glanced at Xiao Ding, and ridiculed: ”Some people truly do not know their place, to be able to come at any given time, are they not afraid of losing face? ”I thought memorizing death books would allow him to do a few of the same type of questions and thus gain the qualification to compete. I'm sure that at that time, he would not be able to do a single question or write a single word.”
The few people beside Duan Shiwen looked at Xiao Ding arrogantly, and ridiculed: ”Oh, isn't this Xiao Ding, one of us?”
Ouyang Ying opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Xiao Ding pulled her back and softly said: ”What are you talking about to a group of berserk dogs? They don't even understand your words!”
”You're the dog, your whole family is made up of dogs!” Duan Shiwen scolded.
”Look, the dog is barking again!” Xiao Ding said, and quickly walked inside.
”Xiao Ding, just you wait!” Duan Shiwen bellowed. Then, he walked over to the two of them and said to Ouyang Ying: ”Yingzi, you'll regret remaining with such a person.”
Ouyang Ying looked at Duan Shiwen for a few seconds, ”Duan Shiwen, whether or not I regret it is my own business, it has nothing to do with you. You should prepare for your own competition.”
With his hot face sticking to a cold butt, Duan Shiwen felt even more stifled in his heart as he silently thought in his heart: Xiao Ding, just you wait.
The essay competition and mathematics competition was held once, four hours in the afternoon. First, it was a mathematics competition, and then, he would write his essay.
In order to save time, the invigilator handed out the two papers.
Because he knew Xiao Ding's composition was poor, in the past few days, Teacher Gu had helped Xiao Ding supplement some of his knowledge and skills with regards to writing essays. Besides, the composition itself depends on its own life experience.
Coincidentally, the topic this time was related to Xiao Ding's life. He looked at it, and in just a moment, he had written over a thousand words.
When he finished, it took an hour. Then, he picked up the Math exam paper and discovered that he had seen a similar number on most of the Math exam questions. He thought for a moment before answering.
After another hour, Xiao Ding finished all of the work. After a brief check, he handed in the papers.
Xiao Ding was the first one to hand in the papers. Seeing this, Duan Shiwen said in his heart: I'm not wrong, I can't do it, I can only turn in the papers and walk out dejectedly.
