Chapter 68 - Announcing Results

Chapter translated by: Ironize97

"This time, our Bowen No. 1 Middle School has achieved unprecedented good results in the city's 18th school joint examination! We have won the top three places in the city in the third grade!"

There was a hint of joy on Principal Zhao's serious face.

"Wow! That's amazing! The top three places were won by our school! The other 17 schools, don't you want to die of anger?"

"Haha! I can't help but be angry! Who made our school gather strong people!"

"I think it's all because Zheng Jun and Zheng Shao is back! That's why our school's level has been raised!"

"Isn't it? Zheng Jun has the privilege to enter other classes to attend lectures at will! His privilege can greatly inspire teachers and students in other classes!"

"The number one in the city must be Zheng Jun!"

On the playground, all the students in the school talked about it.

Hearing the discussions around him, Zheng Jun raised his head proudly.

And Luo Rongfa, Zhang Ruomin and others were also fawning on him.

They even looked at Ye Chen who was standing quietly at the back of the line with mocking eyes, and at the same time looked at Wu Jiawei at the front of the line with sympathetic eyes.

After the results are announced, these two people will be accused of cheating in the monthly exam and expelled from Bowen No. 1 Middle School!

Of course, before being fired, Ye Chen had to fulfill his bet with Zheng Jun and crawl around the playground like a dog!

Xie Zhiruo, the squad leader, stood at the front of the team with the class teacher Wu Jiawei.

The two looked at each other, eyes full of tension and apprehension.

Only Principal Zhao knew about the results this time, not even the teachers.

"First of all, it is the third place in the whole school, and it is also the third place in the city..."

Principal Zhao was half-spoken, then paused, looked at the team of Class 2, Senior Three, and then said loudly:

"...It's Xie Zhiruo from Class 2, Senior Three! The total score is 712 points! Congratulations, everyone!"

As soon as Principal Zhao's words fell, all the students in the school exclaimed in unison.

Xie Zhiruo's previous grades were not very good, every time she was only hovering in the top ten in the class, or around the top hundred in the grade, but this time it was like a rocket, rising to the third place in the whole school and even in the whole city!

"Zhiruo, you can do it! You are the best!"

Standing behind Xie Zhiruo, Zhao Mengya congratulated Xie Zhiruo loudly with joy on her face.

However, he added in a low voice: "As long as you leave Ye Chen, you will always be the best!"

"Principal Zhao, can't you make a mistake?"

Someone questioned loudly in disbelief.

"This test paper was sealed before the test, and I opened it myself! During the test, there were two invigilators in each test room, and video surveillance was installed! When the test papers were corrected, each test paper was checked by at least three teachers. Cross-grading! For the top ten exam papers in the city, professionals were invited to check the handwriting! Therefore, the results of this exam are absolutely reliable, and there is no possibility of any problems!"

Principal Zhao said confidently.

When Principal Zhao said this, no one would doubt it.

However, for this "dark horse" Xie Zhiruo who suddenly jumped out, everyone was still amazed.

After all, Xie Zhiruo has always been known as the 'school belle' and is famous in Bowen No. 1 Middle School, but she has never been known for her 'good academic performance'.

"Quiet! Next is the second student in the whole school and the city! He is Zheng Jun from Class 4, Senior Three! The total score is 724 points! Congratulations!"

Principal Zhao then said loudly.

"I'm actually only second?"

Zheng Jun, who was complacent one second, suddenly became extremely ugly the next second.

The smile on his face froze for a moment.

The word "Congratulations" from President Zhao's mouth also seemed a bit ironic when it reached Zheng Jun's ears.

"It's okay, Young Master Zheng, as long as Ye Chen doesn't get the first place, your bet is a tie!"

Luo Rongfa hurriedly comforted him.

"Shut up!"

Zheng Jun let out a low growl impatiently, and fixed his eyes on Principal Zhao on the rostrum.

He would like to see who got the first place and beat him!

And all the other students were also amazed that even Zheng Jun only got the second place, so who is the first place?

"Finally, it's the whole school and the city's No. 1 student, Ye Chen from Class 2, Senior Three! The total score is 750 points! Full score!"

Principal Zhao's voice suddenly became extremely passionate.

"What? Ye Chen? Stop joking?"

"750 points? Full marks? Is there a mistake?"

There was an instant commotion on the playground.

Everyone was shocked!

The muscles on Zheng Jun's face twitched uncontrollably, Luo Rongfa and Zhang Ruomin stared with wide eyes, Ma Haoyu and Fan Chen rubbed their ears vigorously...

"Wow!"

Xie Zhiruo and Wu Jiawei looked at each other and cheered together.

Zhao Mengya frowned deeply. Why is the result so different from what she guessed?

Even Lan Shuijing, who had always trusted Ye Chen unconditionally in the second grade team, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Presumably everyone knows about the last monthly exam. Here, I want to solemnly apologize to Ye Chen and Teacher Wu Jiawei for my previous recklessness! Ye Chen has proved his strength with his actions! In the last month's exam, Ye Chen and Teacher Wu Jiawei did not cheat! Let's give warm applause and congratulate Ye Chen, who has become the genius he once was again!"

On the rostrum, Principal Zhao spoke impassionedly, and even saluted Ye Chen at the end of the playground.

Swish!

On the playground, thousands of students turned their heads in unison, stretched their necks and looked around, wanting to see Ye Chen, the genius Ye Chen who could make Principal Zhao apologize in public!

Facing thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him, Ye Chen's mood at this moment was extremely calm.

Now that he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, the so-called first place in the city's 18th school joint examination, in Ye Chen's view, is meaningless at all.

If it wasn't for the expectations of his adoptive parents and Ye Xiaoqian, if it wasn't for Wu Jiawei's expulsion, and if it wasn't for Xie Zhiruo's painstaking efforts, Ye Chen wouldn't even want to take the city entrance exam.

Just like an adult, he would not bother to compete with a group of kindergarten children for a little red flower.

"...Here, I want to emphasize another point. In the future, among classmates, there needs to be more trust and less suspicion. I hope that everyone will not talk or spread nonsense about things that have no real evidence..."

Principal Zhao said again earnestly.

Some students didn't understand what Principal Zhao said, but at least the students in Class 2, Senior Three, were all very clear, and turned their heads to look at Zhang Ruomin and Luo Rongfa.

That day, it was the two of them who slandered Ye Chen for cheating the most.

Especially Zhang Ruomin, she was the first to slander Teacher Wu Jiawei for helping Ye Chen cheat!

Everyone's eyes made Zhang Ruomin and Luo Rongfa's faces burn, their heads were buried tightly, and they just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in!

...

Next, Principal Zhao announced the results of the second grade and the first grade before finishing his speech.

Everyone was about to disperse, but Lan Shuijing jumped into the crowd of third graders.

"Didn't you say that after the results are announced, there will be a dog climbing show?"

Lan Shuijing's big eyes flickered, and he spoke innocently.

"Huh? That's right! Didn't Zheng Jun make a bet with Ye Chen? Whoever gets the first place in the city's exam, the other person will crawl around the playground like a dog!"

"That's right! That's right! But, the loser now is Zheng Jun, not Ye Chen!"

"So what? If Zheng Jun loses, doesn't he have to fulfill his bet?"

"Do you understand? Who is Zheng Jun? Who is Ye Chen? Even if Ye Chen returns to the genius he used to be, so what? At best, he is a student with better academic performance! And Zheng Jun It's different, he is the eldest son of the Zheng family of the Qinghe wealthy family, he is the heir of the Zheng family! Even if Zheng Jun's studies are a mess, and he gets 0 points in all homework tests, so what? He is still a master! Do you expect A master like Zheng Jun will really fulfill that bullshit bet?"

"Hey! It's true, whoever makes someone else's starting line is already a goal that we can hardly achieve in our lifetime struggle? We are different!"

In the playground, the students sighed one after another, looked at Ye Chen with sympathy for the weak, and looked at Zheng Jun with envy for the strong.
