But Ah Wu’s attention was not on Su Huaibai’s words just now.
She was not stupid and naturally saw Sheng Chenglin’s affection for her. However, Ah Wu, who had already decided to accept Su Huaibai, was unwilling to have any emotional involvement with Sheng Chenglin.
It seemed that the matter of introducing Sheng Chenglin to other families in need of tutors had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

“Look, look, am I blind? Is the fifth place the person I thought it was?”
“Oh my god, wasn’t the school belle always at the bottom? Even if there is improvement, it shouldn’t be so exaggerated. Could it be that not only her aesthetics have improved, but her brain has also evolved?”
“Could it be cheating? Her father is rich and powerful, so it’s easy for her to get a set of papers, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s just an ordinary test. There’s no need for her to cheat, right?”
Today is the day when the monthly exam rankings of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School are announced.
Although the Education Bureau has expressly prohibited schools from publishing exam rankings, this order is meaningless in Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, where most people speak with grades.
Ninety percent of the students who can enter this school are the top students in their respective junior high schools.
Not only do they attach importance to academic performance, but their parents also do. Every ranking position is a weapon used by them and their parents to motivate themselves.
If the school does not announce the ranking, the parents will come to the school to make trouble.
As for students’ vanity and self-esteem, parents think that they are totally unnecessary. On the contrary, if their rankings decline, these children will feel humiliated and work harder, which is something that teachers and parents would like to see.
Therefore, except for some poor students who don’t care about their grades at all, every time the exam is over and the school posts the rankings on the bulletin board, the students of No. 1 Middle School will crowd around the bulletin board.
Students who secretly bring their mobile phones to school will also take pictures of those pictures, and then these rankings will be circulated in WeChat and QQ groups. Everyone’s ranking is no secret.
The bulletin board was noisier than usual that day because the name of the fifth-ranked student caused all the students present who had heard of her name to have questions.
Xiang Wu, isn’t she the student who has always been ranked at the bottom?
How come she suddenly jumped to fifth place this time?

“The surveillance has been checked. There is no possibility of cheating.”
In the grade director’s office, Xiang Wu’s head teacher and several invigilators in her examination room were talking to the grade director with serious expressions about Xiang Wu’s rapid improvement in grades.
“I have seen all of Xiang Wu’s papers. She got full marks in mathematics. The proof method she used for the third sub-question of the last big question is different from the standard answer, so there is no possibility of knowing the answer in advance.”
“I also looked through the draft papers collected. Except for the simplest few questions, every multiple-choice question and fill-in-the-blank question has a proof process. She definitely solved it herself.”
Old Xu is the head teacher of Class 9 and also the math teacher of Class 9. It is naturally reliable for him to prove the authenticity of Xiang Wu’s math score.
“Director, I know that Xiang Wu was once ignorant and disobedient, causing a lot of trouble for the school, but I can prove that she has indeed corrected herself during this period.”
“She listens very carefully in every class. When she encounters problems she does not understand, she actively seeks out students with better grades in the class and me as a teacher for advice.”
“Besides, I heard that her family also hired a tutor for her, so it is not impossible that her grades have improved by leaps and bounds.”
Old Xu didn’t like Xiang Wu, the trouble-making student, before. But now Xiang Wu not only stopped making trouble, but she also achieved such good results that brought honor to their Class 9. What reason did he have not to defend this student?
Moreover, Old Xu began to reflect on his previous behavior.
He gave up these students in Class 9 because they were not serious and let them fend for themselves. Was this behavior really acceptable?
He felt that the students in Class 9 were not motivated, so he let them go. But he was a teacher, so didn’t he have the responsibility to guide the students on the right path?
Xiang Wu’s change proved that those bad students in the eyes of others were not really incapable of studying. They also had the hope of being admitted to a good university, or at least to a junior college, so that they would not be left without a school after graduating from high school.
