Chapter 68: The Thoughts of This Generation of Students Are Wrong
Wen Yu felt that Fu Chengque had been acting strangely these past few days.
Although she kept saying she had something to say, he couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
The sense of strangeness had been lingering around him these past few days, but apart from Qingmei next door, who always wanted to talk to him, there was nothing special. And after falling asleep during lunch that day, Fu Chengque returned to normal.
The New Year’s Eve party was imminent, and Qingmei had to be put on hold for now.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the two of them began to collect program ideas. On Friday, they went to Chen Xiongguo’s office together to ask for some funds to order banners in advance and buy some gifts—
For class performances, there were gifts. The homeroom teacher would provide the money.
On the way there, they ran into another familiar group.
“Nie Xueling…”
Fu Chengque whispered in shock, quickly hiding behind Wen Yu, but was still spotted.
The tall girl came over happily, taking brisk steps.
“Fu Chengque!”
Fu Chengque rolled her eyes and gave up on hiding, “What’s up?”
“Dancing!”
“Not dancing! End of discussion! Got things to do! Excuse us!”
With that, she dragged Wen Yu and fled to the office.
Inside the office, Chen Xiongguo was drinking tea, his stern and fierce appearance causing Fu Chengque to immediately retract her foot when she had just stepped into the office, retreating behind Wen Yu.
She was a bit afraid to be presumptuous in front of the homeroom teacher.
I don’t know why Wen Yu is so brave right now…
Look at him, he’s smiling and going straight up—
“Teacher Chen!”
“Wen Yu and Fu Chengque, what’s the matter?”
“Teacher Chen, we’ve come to apply for funding for the New Year’s Eve party,” Wen Yu said.
Chen Xiongguo slapped his head. “Oh right, I almost forgot about that.” He put down his teacup, took out a 50 yuan bill from his pocket, and handed it over.
But when he saw Wen Yu reaching out his hand, he immediately withdrew.
“Wen Yu, do you know how to handle money? You’re just reaching out your hand.”
“Teacher, I ranked fourth in math midterm.”
Wen Yu couldn’t help but refrain from commenting. For this mere 50 yuan, he had already earned it by standing here.
“That’s not the point,” Chen Xiongguo waved his hand, calling Fu Chengque over. “Fu Chengque, take this. You know how to buy gifts, right?”
“Yes, Teacher Chen, we’ve already asked about it,” Fu Chengque replied nervously.
“Alright. Buy everything you need, prepare some extras. And if there’s any left, you two can buy some ice cream.”
Across from them.
Nie Xueling from Class 2 also brought her friends to the office, similar matters, similar dialogue, and then the three of them saw the Class 2 female homeroom teacher hand a shiny red 100 yuan note to Nie Xueling…
The three of them withdrew their gazes one after another.
Fu Chengque had originally intended to leave, but Wen Yu didn’t move, and she didn’t dare to move either.
As soon as Chen Xiongguo turned his head, he saw the two of them not only not leaving, but Wen Yu was also staring straight at him.
Wen Yu just kept staring at him…
Chen Xiongguo: “…”
Clearing his throat, Chen Xiongguo was about to say something, but then he heard Wen Yu speak.
“Teacher Chen, it’s the end of the year, and I’d like to say a few words on behalf of the students in Class 4…”
Chen Xiongguo’s heart trembled, and he felt like he was going through a crucible. Wen Yu, please, the teacher hopes you won’t speak.
But given his position, he couldn’t ignore Wen Yu.
“What words…”
“Words of gratitude.”
Forced to put on a smile, “Haha, let’s hear it then.”
“First of all, thank you, Teacher Chen, for your tireless teaching and diligent work year after year. You are not only a teacher but also an elder, a friend, and a guiding light in our lives. Your help has been truly invaluable to us.
Many students in Class 4 have become diligent and hardworking because of you, and their grades have improved rapidly. Myself and Fu Chengque are living examples of this. Right, Fu Chengque?”
Every time Fu Chengque entered the teacher’s office, she felt like a fool.
Now she was staring blankly as she listened to Wen Yu speak, feeling a bit confused…
Why did Wen Yu suddenly start thanking the teacher?
Oh, and he suddenly called me!
What did he just say?
I just need to nod, right?
Then she hurriedly nodded, “Ah, yes, yes!”
Chen Xiongguo: “…”
Wen Yu continued to talk confidently:
“Over the past year, under Teacher Chen’s leadership, the entire Class 4 has been united and forward-looking. The overall performance of the class has significantly improved in the first half of the senior year, reaching new heights…”
Chen Xiongguo: “…”
On the other side, the female homeroom teacher of Class 2 seemed to have heard the commotion and turned her head to look over.
Chen Xiongguo raised his hand, gesturing for Wen Yu to stop, then pulled out another 50 yuan bill and directly handed it to Wen Yu.
“Alright, take it, take it. I’ve told you before, buy more prizes to give to your classmates…”
“Wow! Thanks, Teacher Chen! On behalf of all the students in Class 4, we express our sincere gratitude to you!”
Wen Yu took the money and dragged Fu Chengque, who was still bewildered, out of the door.
As soon as the two of them left, the homeroom teacher of Class 2 smiled.
“Old Chen, the kids in your class are quite clever.”
“It’s not easy to manage them. These students are not simple. Although their minds are not in the right place, they put all their effort into studying.” Chen Xiongguo picked up his teacup again, smiling without any anger.
“Still good? Old Chen, you’ll definitely get a bonus next year, and you might even be named an outstanding teacher. Don’t be dissatisfied. The overall performance of your Class 4 is almost on par with my Class 2.”
The female teacher leaned closer and asked in a low voice, “And, to be honest with me, is your class going to produce top students?”
Chen Xiongguo pretended to be naive, “What top students? There are no top students in a regular class like Class 4.”
“Alright, alright, then what about that ‘Wen Yu’ in your class? Can he transfer to Class 2?”
Chen Xiongguo immediately dropped his act and covered his teacup with a thud.
“Forget about it!”
“What about that girl then?”
“Absolutely not!”
The two elements that measure a teacher’s teaching quality: average scores and top students.
High average scores ensure a high enrollment rate, while top students ensure a high rate of admission to prestigious universities. The combination of both is the standard for an excellent teacher and homeroom teacher.
Currently, Chen Xiongguo’s Class 4 is sprinting along this path…
Especially Wen Yu.
Studying diligently and helping classmates, he’s practically a dream student in the eyes of teachers. In the next semester, they won’t even ask him to improve his grades further; just maintaining them would qualify him as half a top student.
But the biggest flaw of this child is that he’s almost tied to Fu Chengque—
If Fu Chengque changes classes, he’ll definitely follow!
With his current grades, which teacher would refuse if he wanted to transfer to their class?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiongguo felt somewhat annoyed: such a young age, thinking about this and that…
Well, it’s fortunate that he’s shining in his senior year. Otherwise, in the first two years, he would have definitely been poached…
Relaxing again, he couldn’t help but feel a bit proud:
An outstanding teacher, that’s me, Old Chen, barely making it~
Hmm, this tea leaves, priced at 20 yuan per catty, are really fragrant!
***
It was a Friday that most people were satisfied with.
Including Fu Chengque.
Wen Yu said: Xintehuis said that if people don’t think, they are like dry branches and fallen leaves.
So these days, she has never given up thinking about how to complete the task. There must be a method that, even if not perfect, can still accomplish the task, even if she can’t get the perfect reward.
In the evening, lying on her own bed, Fu Chengque didn’t move at all, her eyes widened, gathering a storm of thoughts in her mind.
Suddenly, in the pitch-black room, there seemed to be a flicker of light!
The girl sat up abruptly, her face full of excitement—
“I, I’ve figured it out!!!”
“Perfect, super perfect, the method to complete it!”
“Ah ah ah, hahaha, wow hahaha—not bad, it’s me! It’s truly the Empress! Hahaha…”
