Chen Xi recalled what Qiao Weimin said over the phone yesterday. He pressed his lips into a line and said softly, "The results aren't good."
"That's usually the case for people who pull strings to transfer schools. In any case, our class doesn't accept this. As you said, this is their Third Year, they're too close to the college entrance examinations. What's the point of transferring over here if her results aren't good? She'll pull down the class average!"
Class C's headteacher seemed to agree. "That's true."
The teachers had their assessments as well. Their year-end bonuses depended very much on their students' results. Nobody wanted to sacrifice their benefits for no good reason.
Chen Xi quickly picked out his students' information from the stack of documents on his desk. He held them to his chest and said to Class C's headteacher, "I've sorted out my students' documents for the start of the semester. Old Liu, I'll get going first."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Class C's headteacher was shocked and tried to keep her around. "The transfer student is already here. Aren't you going to find out how she'll do for her examination?"
Chen Xi had already told Qiao Weimin she wouldn't let Qiao Nian join her class. Hence, it didn't matter whether Qiao Nian's results could make it or not. That said, she didn't think Qiao Nian was good enough for Class B, anyway!
"No, I'll be going to class earlier. I have to announce
some good news."
Class C's headteacher had heard about it and now had a look of envy. "Qiao Chen from your class already has a reserved spot in Ren Vi, right? That's great, I've been seeing this news all over the notice boards in school. You'll be the headteacher of a future star. Don't forget your colleagues when you're famous!"
"Haha, I'll get going first."
The dean of teaching came over to hand Qiao Nian her examination paper, as well as a sheet of rough paper and a pen. "The principal isn't here yet. Sit here and take your paper first, I'll mark it for you when you're done. The principal will decide which class you'll join."
"Alright!"
Qiao Nian took the paper casually and scanned the questions.
As she guessed, they were all unsubstantial questions. How absurd!
