The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Xiang Yusheng curled his lips as he said, “You’re right. After I get the 1.6 million yuan from the bet, I will treat myself to an overseas trip.”

Xu Tongtong then added, “It’s just such a shame that Lu Yubai refused to take part in the final examination this time. I don’t know what’s wrong with him or how Fu Zhi brainwashed him.”

Xiang Yusheng frowned. Although he was not happy with Lu Yubai’s decision either, he dared not talk about him behind his back. “It doesn’t matter. After all, he loves drag racing, and grades don’t really matter much to him.”

“By the way, I have to say that Ms. Qian is really a great teacher. She even got her hands on those exercise books. If it were not for those exercise books, we would not have been able to get so many classes on our side. Speaking of the other classes, do you know that Class 3 had sided with Class 21 at first? They also looked down on us and said that we’re all a bunch of nerds, but look at them now. They chose to break their friendship with Class 21 just because we have something they need. This also teaches us one thing: There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, only permanent interests.”

“This is the best decision they ever made,” Xiang Yusheng said.

Class 21.

Fan Gaoda did not enter the classroom even though the bell had rung a long time ago. They might think that Fan Gaoda had not come to school today if it were only him, but what was even more bizarre was that no teacher had entered their classroom today.

It was as if they had agreed not to come to work.

As a responsible student, Yun Xiaoxiao got to her feet and went to the office to look for Fan Gaoda. However, when she arrived at the office, there was no one inside. She did not know what had happened but she did not like the feeling she had about it.

As she was on her way back to her class, she could see that every class was confused.

“What’s going on? Why have no teachers come to class?”

“This is something that has never happened before. Did they all get kidnapped by aliens?”

“Does anyone have Mr. Fan’s phone number? Hurry up and call him!”

—

While the students were thrown into turmoil, their teachers were sitting in the assembly hall with stern expressions.

This was the first time they had been summoned to an emergency meeting. They were not even allowed to take a bathroom break. Right now, there was a group of people sitting at the front of the hall. Starting from the left was Director Liu, followed by Ouyang Feng, and then…

Chen Xin, Hu Lei, Qian Man, and He Ming…

Every top question setter for the college entrance examination in their country had gathered in No.1 High School.

Ma Mingquan pinched his thigh, and it was only when he felt sharp pain that he realized he was not dreaming.

As for Fan Gaoda, he still could not quite comprehend what was happening right now. “I know I’m gullible, but is it true that they are going to give extra lessons to our students?”

“I think so?” Ma Mingquan licked his lips before adding, “Aside from Hu Lei, the rest of them will be staying with us for half a month.”

He did not raise his voice, nor did he lower it. However, the hall was very quiet right now, so everyone could hear his voice without an issue.

Every teacher was petrified, and it felt like they had just won the lottery.

At the front of the hall, Director Liu picked up the microphone. He was still unable to believe what was going on as he said, “According to what Professor He and the others said, from this day onward, the students of all the third-year classes, except for the Art Class, will come to the assembly hall in groups of three classes and take turns listening to the lectures.”

“But…” Qian Wenrui raised her hand. “Director Liu, I don’t think we should let all classes come to the lectures.”

‘Do they know how hard it is to attend He Ming and the other lecturers’ classes? This is akin to Mars crashing into Earth, and it could even be recorded in the history of mankind!’

He Ming and the others were only staying for half a month. Even if the students took 6 classes a day, they could only listen to 14 lectures from each teacher, and honestly, considering how heavy the schoolwork of the third-year students was, 14 lectures were not really enough. Besides, the assembly hall was small and could only accommodate 3 classes at a time. In other words, the third-year students would have to come to listen to the lectures 7 times, and one class could only attend twice at most.

Thus, Qian Wenrui suggested, “For the sake of fairness and maximizing resources in favor of the school’s high-achieving students, my personal intention is to conduct a test today and select the top 100 students of the school to have them attend the classes.”

“What do you mean by that, Ms. Qian? How can you be so selfish?”

Qian Wenrui squinted her eyes and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about, Mr. Dong. I’m not being selfish. This is for the greater good of our school!”

“Hah…” Mr. Dong got to his feet and said, “Only the top 100 students of the school will attend the class? Why didn’t you just say that Class 1 and Class 2 should come to the class? When the classes were first divided, the top 40 students in the school were put in your class!”

“That’s right, Ms. Qian. Your students are students, but our students are not students?”

“Even if they are underachievers, they still have the right to receive an education.”

“Everyone!” Qian Wenrui stood up to appease the crowd. “I’m definitely not being selfish. I just thought that if a class only listened to the lesson twice, then everyone would listen to the same content and the knowledge gained would be too little, so why not let the top 100 students in the school listen to 14 different lessons before relaying them to the rest of the classes?”

It went without saying that some information would be lost during the message transmission. For example, a student could ask the teacher questions in the class directly, but a student could only repeat whatever the teacher had taught, and there was a good chance that he or she could not solve the problem effectively.

Most importantly, the ability to accurately convey the meaning of He Ming and his party was also a questionable issue.

However, in the long run, no matter how reluctant the teachers were, they had to agree with Qian Wenrui. After all, this was how the world worked. The fittest survived, while the weak got eliminated.

It was their students’ fault for being incompetent, so when their school had a better resource, it went without saying that they would prioritize the students in Class 1 and Class 2.

More and more teachers quieted down.

Director Liu agreed with the suggestion as well. “If none of the other teachers object, it will be possible to have the top 100 students come to the class.”

Fan Gaoda then whispered to Ma Mingquan, “Are you not going to fight for your class? Even if they can only attend one class, it’s better than nothing. The people in front of us are individuals that we won’t be able to meet again in our lifetime. Besides, Class 1 and Class 21 are not on good terms. If we really let Qian Wenrui get her way, they will certainly exclude our students from the entire thing!”

Ma Mingquan felt that Fan Gaoda was right. That said, Ma Mingquan had never really fought for anything in his entire life. He was the easy-going type and someone who believed that good things would happen to good people.

However, for the sake of his students, Ma Mingquan decided to step out of his comfort zone and fight for something for once!

In any case, he had to get at least 2 classes for his students!

With that thought in mind, he smacked the table, and just as he was about to stand up, He Ming took the microphone and said, “You’re Ms.Qian, right?”

Qian Wenrui nodded and smiled. Then, He Ming added, “I think you’re really full of yourself.”

Qian Wenrui was stunned.

‘What?’

Before Qian Wenrui could say anything, He Ming said, “We didn’t come to No.1 High School to give lectures to the so-called top 100 students. Our purpose is simply to teach Class 21 and guide them as they swim in the ocean of knowledge.”

Ma Mingquan was astounded.
