Chapter 20: [20] Grade Release 2
Reborn Xie Wanying knew in advance that the report cards would come at this time, so she was not in a hurry at all. After finishing her shift at the supermarket, when it was about time to clock out, she hopped on her family’s old. rickety bicycle and creakily made her way to the school.
It was dark by then, seven o’clock. The only lights on in the entire teaching building were those in the third-floor office, making it clear what was happening.
Many students arrived at the entrance of the teaching building one after another, all of them senior year students who had received a call from their teachers and rushed over to get their college entrance examination report cards, unable to wait until tomorrow.
Xie Wanying picked up her backpack and walked toward the entrance of the teaching building. She overheard a few students walking ahead saying:
“Did you hear?”
“Not sure if it’s true or not, but they say there’s a science top scorer in Class Five of the senior year.”
“Who is it?”
“Some say it’s Zhao Wenzong.”
Zhao Wenzong became the top science scorer? While thinking that the results were different after she was reborn, Xie Wanying still felt happy for her classmate, who, like her, came from a poor family.
Upon reaching the third floor, she saw two familiar figures ahead — it wasn’t Zhao Wenzong but Zhang Wei and Hu Hao. Xie Wanying slowed down her pace. She wasn’t in a hurry at all and was content to let these two get their report cards first.
“Teacher Liu.”
The voices of Zhang Wei and Hu Hao at the doorway prompted Liu Hui to look up.
Having just been on the phone with Monitor Yu, Liu Hui was wondering how to comfort the class cadre when she took the opportunity to hang up.
“Come in,” Liu Hui gestured to the two with a wave of her hand.
Zhang Wei and Hu Hao walked into the teacher’s office.
Liu Hui’s face revealed a smile of genuine joy because at least these two had performed as expected, and they were students she liked. Pulling out the report cards from her drawer, she said to Zhang Wei, “Zhang Wei, just like I told your mother, you scored much higher than on your previous mock exams. You’re likely to get into the Provincial Capital Commerce Institute.”
Hearing her homeroom teacher say this, Zhang Wei almost jumped up with excitement.
“Congratulations, Zhang Wei! You might be able to go abroad soon,” Hu Hao said from the side.
“And you?” asked Zhang Wei.
“Teacher Liu, how did I do?” asked Hu Hao the homeroom teacher.
“Hu Hao, you did very well, too, surpassing the cutoff for first-tier universities. You should be able to get into Zhongshan Finance Institute, congratulations,” Liu Hui said, handing over Hu Hao’s report card with a broad smile.
After all, Hu Hao’s score ranked him among the top few dozen in the school.
Hu Hao took his report card, glanced at it, and couldn’t help but feel somewhat smug.
Zhang Wei furrowed her brow, suddenly feeling a surge of irritation toward these two. Everyone knew that it was much harder to get into Zhongshan Finance than the Provincial Capital Commerce Institute — one was first-tier, the other second-tier. Hu Hao and Teacher Liu’s congratulations just now seemed almost like they were making fun of her.
“Where’s the class monitor?” Hu Hao looked left and right, searching for other classmates.
Xie Wanying, standing in the corridor outside the teacher’s office peered through the window and guessed from Hu Hao’s expression that he was probably daydreaming about finding Zhao Wenzong and her, perhaps looking for another opportunity to lord it over them.
“The class monitor will come to get his report card tomorrow, I’ve already told him on the phone,” Liu Hui had to inform Hu Hao, “How did you guys know to come to the school to get the report cards, did the class monitor tell you?”
“No, we heard it from students in other classes, heard that the results were out, and I notified Zhang Wei to come together,” Hu Hao never forgot his purpose.
Zhang Wei, paying him no attention and without a word of thanks, asked Liu Hui, “Teacher Liu, how did my deskmate Xie Wanying do?”
