Chapter 456: Persuasion

Pick any cla.s.s and just put me in there, Ye Lengan replied casually, l dont care which cla.s.s 1 end up in.

For her, it didnt matter which cla.s.s she was placed in because she had no intention of attending cla.s.ses obediently.

Zheng Anyang shook his head and continued, If it were really that easy to arrange, 1 wouldnt be so troubled. Now, the results of each cla.s.s in the third year are almost fixed. Those students and teachers have been together since the first year. If your academic performance were average, it wouldnt make much of a difference in which cla.s.s you end up. However, your grades are there for all to see. Youve taken the third-year exam papers here before. Judging from your papers, your performance in the college entrance exams will be outstanding. You should know that the bonuses of the teachers in the third year are linked to the college entrance exam results. If I were to place you in a particular cla.s.s now, it wouldnt be fair to the other cla.s.ses.

While it was a bit regrettable for Ye Lengan to finish high school early and not contribute more to the schools reputation, Zheng Anyang was not one to stand in the way of a students development. However, deciding which cla.s.s to place her in posed a challenge.

Ye Lengan was already quite famous at Shengan High School. It was believed that as soon as the news of her wanting to skip to the third year spread, all the teachers in the third year would undoubtedly compete to have her in their cla.s.ses.

Ye Lengan hadnt expected this reason. After some thought, she suggested, Princ.i.p.al, what if we do this? Ill continue in Year One, Cla.s.s F, and when its time for the college entrance exams, you can register me as a senior student.

If I do well, it can count as a credit to Cla.s.s Fs teachers.

After all, initially, teachers from other cla.s.ses didnt want her, and it was only the form teacher of Cla.s.s F who was willing to accept her. If she were to leave suddenly now, it might not be appropriate.

Hearing Ye Lengans proposal, Zheng Anyang pondered for a moment and finally nodded. Your suggestion seems to be the best. Since youve made up your mind, lets go with your plan.

Thank you, Princ.i.p.al, Ye Lengan beamed, expressing her grat.i.tude, You truly understand the right thing to do, and your word is your bond. I knew that if you agreed, youd keep your word.

She hadnt expected things to go this smoothly. She had thought the princ.i.p.al would need some convincing, but he had agreed quickly.

Dont shower me with praise, Zheng Anyang replied, slightly annoyed. l had already planned to sign you up for compet.i.tions over the next two and a half years. But now, its all in jeopardy. Let me tell you, in these next six months, you cant refuse if youre needed for compet.i.tions.

Absolutely not, Ye Lengan replied with a grin. As long as Im a student of this school, its my duty to bring honor to it! How could I refuse? And, Princ.i.p.al, youre so righteous, I should repay you.

Zheng Anyang didnt believe her kind words. Youre just flattering me.

How could that be! Ye Lengan gazed at Zheng Anyang, continuing with a smile. Princ.i.p.al, though Ive lost two years to bring glory to the school, I can still become the top scorer in the college entrance exams! Wont that bring you more pride than these compet.i.tions?

When she mentioned becoming the college entrance exams top scorer, she spoke as casually as if discussing having a meal.

However, her words were genuine. If she said she could become the top scorer, she would undoubtedly make it happen. Moreover, she was highly confident in her ability to achieve this t.i.tle.

Hearing her words, Zheng Anyang was excited, and if he hadnt controlled himself, he might have jumped up. He gazed at Ye Lengan intently and asked, Is what youre saying true? How certain are you that you can become the top scorer in the college entrance exams?

If anyone else had said this, he might have hesitated before believing them. But when Ye Lengan said it, he had no doubts.

Ye Lengan had a track record of keeping her promises. For instance, she had promised to secure first place in the recent Mathematical Olympiad and had achieved that.

Zheng Anyang was fully aware that if she could indeed become the college entrance exams top scorer, it would be a tremendous achievement for their school. The compet.i.tion in college entrance exams was much more intense than Mathematical Olympiad compet.i.tions, as it involved all the students across the nation. Their school hadnt produced a college entrance exams top scorer in more than a decade.

Upon hearing Zheng Anyangs question, Ye Lengan confidently responded, Im a hundred percent certain that I can earn the t.i.tle of college entrance exams top scorer.

Her confidence wasnt a matter of arrogance; she genuinely believed in her abilities.

Alright. Zheng Anyang nodded. Ill arrange for your registration and other paperwork. When June comes this year, youll take the college entrance exams with the senior students.

Thank you, Princ.i.p.al, Ye Lengan acknowledged.

Okay, if theres nothing else, go back to your cla.s.ses quickly. Zheng Anyang waved his hand, saying, Let your form teacher and cla.s.smates know youre still part of this school.

Though it was spoken in jest, there was some truth to it. Given Ye Lengans frequent leaves of absence, sometimes spanning ten days or more, it wasnt surprising that her torm teacher and cla.s.smates had such thoughts.

Hearing Zheng Anyangs words, Ye Lengan felt somewhat exasperated, but she obediently left the princ.i.p.als office and headed back to her cla.s.sroom.

Unexpectedly, shortly after leaving the princ.i.p.als office and not long before she reached her cla.s.sroom, she ran into Ye Xiyuan in the hallway.

It seemed she and Ye Xiyuan were truly fated to cross paths, even if it was a rather ill-fated connection.

Ye Lengan felt that there was nothing to say between her and Ye Xiyuan, so she planned to bypa.s.s her and return to her cla.s.sroom.

However, despite her att.i.tude, Ye Xiyuan stopped her with these words. Wait, Ye Lengan, dont leave just yet..
