After listening to what Director Yin said, Headmaster Hu said something in Director Li's ear. Director Li then turned and left.
No one in the office spoke anything.
Director Yin held a teacup and carefully tasted the tea in his hand.
Director General Chu seemed calm, but at this time his thoughts were complicated. Originally, after Liu Taibin called him yesterday, he immediately went to the leader of the provincial Education Department. But he did not expect that Director Yin would have been sent by the Education Department.
Although they all worked in the education system and had not dealt with each other because of their different ranks, Director Yin's fame and style of doing things had also been heard of by Director General Chu before.
It was said that this man graduated from Xijing University and was a favorite pupil of the former headmaster of Xijing University. It was precisely because of him that Xijing University had done a good job in student admission in Xinlu Province in recent years. And the head of the Education Department attached importance to Director Yin.
However, because of his noble manner, many people who asked him to help them out were shut out.
When Director General Chu arrived at the hotel this morning, he wanted to back down when Director Yin was there. But for the sake of his son's great future, he told the whole story again under pressure while exaggerated embellishment to it.
To Director General Chu's surprise, after hearing his words, Director Yin did not get furious. He said that he would personally check out the student who dared to cheat in the provincial placement examination, which led to the present scene.
Originally, Director General Chu thought that after listening to his own words, Director Yin would have some prejudice when treating Lu Yao. But he did not expect that reality and dreams were always so different. Although Director Yin kept asking everyone about Lu Yao, in the end, he decided to give Lu Yao a chance to take a provisional exam.
This made Director General Chu a little unsure. He was worried that Lu Yao really relied on his own abilities to get such a grade. Then in front of Director Yin, his son would completely lose the opportunity to get recommended for admission to universities, not to mention the d*mn bet.
Lu Yao did the provisional exam in Headmaster Hu's office.
Director Li brought a lot of examination papers. Finally, under the personal instruction of Director Yin, he selected a set of examination papers with the most difficult questions.
Seeing the examination paper chosen by Director Yin, Director General Chu and Liu Taibin finally had a glimmer of joy in their eyes.
Because they had seen this set of examination papers. This was a set of mock exam questions, which was designed for recommended students for admission to Yanjing University. Among these questions, the knowledge points involved were much more than those in the provincial placement exam, and there were many more partial knowledge points, which some teachers would not even talk about when teaching.
After reading the examination paper, Lu Yao did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Although there were a lot of questions that were on partial knowledge, he also happened to study them during this period.
The whole exam was not finished until the second class in the afternoon. In order to announce the test results as soon as possible, Lu Yao's rest and mealtime were compressed.
When Lu Yao put all his examination papers on the headmaster's desk, all the teachers present gathered around.
Director Li also went to find several of the most authoritative teachers of various subjects in the school to participate in the grading.
Everyone was busy and nervous, while Lu Yao sat on the bench and refreshed his spirit by closing his eyes.
After about half an hour or so, Director Yin stood up from his seat for the first time and said, "Do you have any objections?"
"No."
"No."
...
"That's good. Director General Chu, Headmaster Hu, and all the teachers have all seen the situation. I think we can announce it in accordance with the original report. Don't let other students and parents wait too long!" Director Yin said to everyone in the room with a smile on his face.
"I'm on it!" Headmaster Hu responded and told Director Li to do it.
"Lu Yao, you can also go back. I hope you will keep up your efforts in the future learning. I look forward to our next meeting!" Director Yin said to Lu Yao politely.
"Thank you for your concern! I will. If there is nothing that I need to do, I'll go back to the classroom first!"
"Sure, you can leave first!"
...
...
Lu Yao dragged his tired body back to the classroom, sat down on his seat, and laid prone on the table to have a rest.
Because such a high-intensity examination was so mentally and physically consuming that even Lu Yao, who had been cultivating immortality for some days, could no longer bear it.
However, it was precisely because of the fatigue shown by Lu Yao that in the eyes of Chu Minghui and others, he seemed to have exhausted all tricks.
"How did it go, Lu Yao? Now you've completely given up, right?" Chu Minghui walked up to Lu Yao with disdain and said.
Lu Yao still laid prone on the table and didn't even look at him.
"Don't think that you can muddle through by pretending to be asleep. A man's word is irrecoverable. Lu Yao, don't forget to keep your promise yesterday!" Seeing that Lu Yao didn't pay any attention to him, Chu Minghui said ruthlessly.
"That is very true. Prodigy Lu, do you want me to help you pack things after school? We happen to have nothing to do so that we can help you clean up, and it's absolutely free!" Seeing Chu Minghui had been ignored by Lu Yao, Ma Xiaolin and others said.
"Hahaha..."
"Chu Minghui, don't go overboard. It's good for you and everyone not to push people too hard." Han Dong couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he went up to Chu Minghui and tried to argue with him.
"Han Dong, you saw and heard what happened yesterday. It's not that I don't forgive him, but that the evil he brings on himself is the hardest to bear!" Chu Minghui couldn't help rejoicing at the thought that Lu Yao was about to leave.
The two sides had a heated dispute and no one would give way to the other.
"We still don't know who will win in the end!" Suddenly, Lin Jiayi, the Ice Queen, said this.
This sentence was spoken in a very peaceful and gentle tone as if Lin Jiayi had been talking to herself.
But at this time, such a sudden sentence produced a strange effect in the quiet classroom, as if the calm lake had been suddenly thrown into a stone that aroused thousands of layers of waves.
All the people turned to look at the protagonists and supporting actors of the whole story.
When Chu Minghui heard this, he was so shocked. The Ice Queen, who was as pure as an iceberg snow lotus in his mind, had never said anything for him. But unexpectedly, she spoke up for Lu Yao. In her mind, was Lu Yao really worth making her talk?
Even Chu Minghui's adherents, Ma Xiaolin and others, were stunned.
Lu Yao also slowly got up from the table and said to Lin Jiayi, "Thank you!"
"No worries!" Lin Jiayi didn't even look at Lu Yao but answered casually.
The two talked and paid no attention to the fact that there were many pairs of eyes watching them.
"Chu Minghui, I just hope you don't forget our agreement." After Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi finished talking, Lu Yao stood up and looked at Chu Minghui and said.
"You..." Chu Minghui never thought that Lu Yao would say this at this moment, and he was a little speechless for a moment.
"Thank you, Han Dong. I'm fine. You don't have to argue with them!" Instead of talking to the others, Lu Yao sat down again after talking to Han Dong and continued to lay prone on the table to have a rest.
Han Dong saw that Lu Yao paid no attention to these at this time, and he inexplicably felt calmer than ever before. He didn't say anything but just returned to his seat.
Only Chu Minghui, Ma Xiaolin, and some others were left standing there.
Other students looked at each other and then all bowed their heads to continue the matter at hand.
Due to some special reasons, after Lu Yao entered the classroom, no teacher came, so the students were studying by themselves.
The time of a class passed quickly. Finally, school was over. Ma Xiaolin and Chu Minghui looked at each other and quickly ran out of the classroom with their schoolbags on their backs.
After packing up their things, Lu Yao and Han Dong also walked slowly towards the outside of the classroom.
When they first came out of the door, they bumped into Ma Xiaolin who ran towards them like crazy.
Fortunately, Lu Yao stepped in in time and gave Han Dong a hand, which made him be able to stand still.
Ma Xiaolin was not so lucky. Due to Han Dong's regular exercise, his body was stronger so that Ma Xiaolin fell down.
However, Ma Xiaolin, as if crazy, stumbled to his feet and continued to run fast in the direction of the classroom.
"Is Ma Xiaolin crazy?" Han Dong mumbled a sentence silently in his heart.
...
...
"What? It's impossible! It's absolutely impossible!" Chu Minghui shouted hysterically.
"Minghui, I didn't believe it at first as well. But when I saw the notice on the bulletin board, I had to run back and tell you!" Ma Xiaolin said while sweating and touching his broken elbow.
"It's impossible! How could this be possible?"
Chu Minghui was buzzing in his ears at the moment. How could he hear Ma Xiaolin's explanation?
He kept repeating that it was impossible. After a moment of astonishment, he ran out like crazy.
At this time, the bulletin board at the school gate was surrounded by people.
Chu Minghui rushed over, pushed the crowd away desperately, and squeezed in.
When the onlookers realized, they automatically made way for Chu Minghui to avoid being hurt by him.
When Chu Minghui came to the front of the bulletin board, he saw that several red words were written on the Scoring List.
First place: Lin Jiayi, 710 points; Second place: Dong Xiao, 694 points; Third place: Lu Yao, 687 points; Fourth place: Chu Minghui, 685 points...
Seeing that Lu Yao's name indeed appeared in front of his own name, Chu Minghui stood there motionless as if he had been stunned there.
This bet was not made by Chu Minghui on a whim with Lu Yao, but it was the result of his own careful planning. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the placement test of the high school senior in Xinlu Province to drive Lu Yao out of the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City completely. Even if he could not get rid of him in the end, he could still humiliate him severely and then step him down firmly. That feeling would still be very good.
However, he designed the beginning of the story but failed to predict the result.
Looking at Lu Yao's name, Chu Minghui's heart was hurt as if it had been dripping blood.
...
"Ma Xiaolin, do you forget anything?"
Han Dong looked at Chu Minghui and said nothing more. But when he remembered Ma Xiaolin's cruel words at the end of yesterday, he stared at Ma Xiaolin with interest.
"I..."
"What? A man has the courage to speak but not to act?" Han Dong rebuked angrily.
"I... This..." Ma Xiaolin only wanted to tell Chu Minghui the bad news, but he forgot that he was also a part of the bet yesterday. At this time, he was reprimanded by Han Dong in front of so many people. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and his tongue was a little knotted. He said, "How could you take the jokes yesterday seriously? What's more, Han Dong, are any of these your d*mn business?"
"A man's words are irrevocable. Do you want to be a eunuch? Haha!" Han Dong looked at Ma Xiaolin's face and continued.
"Haha..."
"You're the eunuch! I just... Oh, my stomach hurts. I can't... I have to go to the bathroom!" Ma Xiaolin knew that he was in the wrong and could not come up with a good explanation at this time. The crowd laughed at him again so that he had no way but to pretend to hold his belly in pain and desperately squeeze out of the crowd.
"Han Dong, wait for me to go to the bathroom first!"
After Ma Xiaolin squeezed out of the crowd, he did not forget to defend himself.
"Haha..."
"Haha..."
Watching Ma Xiaolin and a group of Chu Minghui's lackeys fled, Han Dong was the first to give a hearty laugh.
Other onlookers also couldn't help laughing.
