Chapter 328: 126 Refusing the Principal of Beicheng, who is the first? (Part 1)_1


    The quiet office was almost motionless, apart from the asional breeze that drifted through. The group of teachers who had been enthusiastically gathered around theputer were now silently staring at the text disyed on the screen.


    Overall first ce.


    “She’s first?”


    “First? How did she test so well?” a teacher gradually came to terms with the result.


    “She surpassed Song Min?”


    “…Is there really someone in Beicheng who can outperform Song Min?”


    Last year’s high school examination was already the talk of the town.


    In both Beicheng and Jiangjing, people were betting on the top three spots, and for the past couple of years, every senior student in Beicheng lived in the shadow of Song Min.


    Even among geniuses, there are barriers.


    Today, none of the teachers present in Xiangcheng thought anyone could score higher than Song Min.


    The principal, who had been holding his breath since seeing the scores, finally let out a long sigh of relief.<div>


    Thest time Bai Lian ranked 97th, everyone was shocked.


    Despite the shock, everyone could ept it back then because there were three or four students in the school who made it into the top hundred in the province, and Ning Xiao was ranked 31st.


    At this term’s finals, Ning Xiao’s performance was already shocking enough; nobody expected the ultimate trump card to be Bai Lian. At this moment, not to mention the homeroom teachers who maintained a stable mood in their sses—


    Even the usuallyposed and calm Lu Lingxi was stunned by this turn of events.


    “Is she a monster or what? Who jumps from 450 points straight to 692 in one semester?” Some homeroom teachers began to lose theirposure.


    After all, when Bai Lian first came to the school, she had transferred from humanities to science, with zero in biology and zero in chemistry.


    “She definitely hid her abilities at the start,” one teacher analyzed, “Otherwise, with her physics being so good, how could her biology and chemistry scores possibly be zero?”


    With this reasoning, the other teachers found it easier to ept.


    After all, watching someone go from zero to passing in chemistry in one semester was quite distressing for them.


    Did Bai Lian not study chemistry much before this?


    There were believers before, but now hardly anyone believes it.


    After some discussion among the teachers, they rxed and were finally able to face the results head-on.


    “Is she a genius on the same level as Song Min?” Song Min’s reputation as a genius was known by everyone at all the major high schools over the past three years.


    “I don’t know,” someone suddenly looked towards Lu Lingxi, “Can Bai Lian maintain her lead? I wonder how much Song Min scored this time.”


    Scoring first ce once doesn’t prove much; it’s consistent dominance like Song Min’s, who has been at the top for years, that shows stability. Song Min’s name has already be an adjective.


    The fate is yet undecided; the college entrance exam determines the final oue.


    “Whether she can maintain it or not, congrattions in advance, principal. I think we’ve got the top three spots in the college entrance exam locked down.”


    Many factorse into y in the college entrance exam. This test might have yed to Bai Lian’s strengths. With one term left, although Bai Lian scored first this time, most people still hold Song Min in awe.


    For other students to take first ce from Song Min even once is quite a feat.<div>


    “Don’t be so timid,” the homeroom teacher of ss Eight pulled out his personal savings and pped them on the table, “I bet Bai Lian will take the Beicheng top schr title. Who wants to bet with me?”


    “I’ll bet on Bai Lian too.” The principal was actually daring in his own right, though he had no cash at hand.


    So he turned to Lu Lingxi to borrow money.


    “But the teaching resources in Beicheng are so much better than ours; nobody knows if Song Min just made a mistake this time,” some teachers hesitated, cing their bets on Song Min, “Teacher Lu, lend me some money.”<div>


    The only person in the room who controlled the financial power, Lu Lingxi: “…”


    **


    Beicheng High School.


    The homeroom teacher of the international ss also found it hard to believe the news.


    He looked at the two names on the list—


    Bai Lian, Ning Xiao.


    Indeed, from the moment it was known that Song Min wasn’t first, the school was abuzz.


    “692 points, one more than Song Min,” the homeroom teacher turned to the principal, “with a perfect score in mathematics, and there’s another student named Ning Xiao, who scored 279 in science, five points higher than Song Min.”


    “What exactly happened with Song Min this time?” the principal frowned.


    After pondering for a moment, the homeroom teacher, who hadn’t yet seen the two students’ papers, said, “Recently Bai Shaoqi has been practicing the piano a lot. He might have neglected his studies because of that. I discussed it with him this morning; he didn’t perform well in the science subjects or mathematics. It’s good that there was a mistake this time; otherwise, without any pressure, he would stay in the same ce.”


    “Just what ce is this Xiangcheng High School?” The principal, learning that both students came from the same school, also from Xiangcheng High School, said, “Such talented students, and they aren’t from our school?”


    A region on the fringes long since forgotten by the people of Beicheng.


    He lowered his head to carefully observe Bai Lian and Ning Xiao’s scores.<div>
