Lu Shangjin thought about it and felt that they still had to follow procedure.
He turned his head. “Gu Mang?”
The girl was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Her ck eyes were clear and cool, and their almond shape gave her a wild and wicked quality.
She had the aura of a big shot.
Her pale, slim hand was cupping her chin as her fingers tapped her face nonchntly.
“We’ll forgo the examination. I’ll go to the worst ss and Jinyang will go to the best one,” Gu Mang said in a low voice.
Jinyang looked at her in shock.
Hearing this, Lu Shangjin was puzzled. “What do you mean? Are you not going to go to the same ss as Jinyang?”
“Yeah.” Gu Mang shifted in her seat for a morefortable position and said in azy voice, “She’s better at studying than me.”
Principal Fu also thought this at first.
Meng Jinyang seemed pretty obedient and he could put her in ss One, albeit with much reluctance.
As for Gu Mang, it would have been impossible.
She was a problem student. What would happen if she influenced ss One negatively and affected the graduation rate of this batch?
Originally, he did not feelfortable saying this.
Now that Gu Mang had given her consent, he quickly stated his mind. “Actually, all the sses are simr. There isn’t a “best ss” or a “worst ss.” All the teachers are the same.”
Lu Shangjin shot a narrow look at Principal Fu.
Thetter chuckled guiltily.
Gu Mang didn’t care. “When can we start?”
Upon seeing that Gu Mang had made up her mind, Lu Shangjin smiled lightly, leaned back, and said no more.
The principal said immediately, “Anytime. I’ll get the form teachers of ss One and ss Twenty here right now.”
With that said, the principal took up the telephone beside him and made a call. The smile on his face looked less forced than before.
Lu Shangjin was speechless.
He had never thought that he would experience this feeling from such a disparity again in his lifetime.
Lu Yi was in ss One and was at the top of her cohort.
Lu Yang was in ss Twenty and was at the top of his cohort as well, if one counted from the bottom.
He already had an inkling of the kind of people that were in ss Twenty.
It made him embarrassed to think about the impending meeting with the two form teachers.
That son of his made him feel very ashamed! He had to leave before then!
Lu Shangjin cleared his throat and stood. “Well, Gu Mang, I’ll leave first. Call me if you need anything.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “Bye, Uncle Lu,” she said in a light tone.
“Bye, Uncle Lu.” Meng Jinyang bade him goodbye as well.
The principal stood up hurriedly to escort him. “Take care, Director-General Lu.”
After sending Lu Shangjin off, the principal sat down and took care of Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang cordially. “Have some water.”
Meng Jinyang smiled as she the water and drank. She looked like a good student.
Gu Mang did not move, but satnguidly on the sofa with her chin propped up on her hand, daydreaming.
The principal was speechless.
Shortly after, the door to the principal’s office was pushed open.
Two female teachers entered.
Luo Songhua, the form teacher of ss One, walked in first.
At the school,petition existed between students but also among the teachers. Thispetition was equally intense, especially in Year Three.
Luo Songhua was a middle-aged woman with sharp, fierce eyes.
The form teacher of ss Twenty, on the other hand, looked young and inexperienced, and did not have an imposing aura.
Luo Songhua worked at the front lines of leading students through high school examinations all-year round and always took the best ss.
She had a superiorityplex and it was as though her eyes grew on the top of her head from which she looked down at the other teachers.
Xi Yan was far junior to Luo Songhua. Additionally, the ss she took was thest one in Year Three, making her very low-key.
The pair looked at Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang.
They could guess the reason why the principal called them over.
