109 Decisiveness
Le Wan’s results not only caused a sensation in the class but also the whole grade. Some people even uploaded her results to the gossip post on the school’s intranet because they admired her.
If the students had paid attention to Le Wan previously because of the various scandals and gossip that had happened to her, it was only now that many of them had finally seen Le Wan’s good points and truly admired her.
The influence of Le Wan’s results was not limited to this.
She had an appointment with the form teacher and Zhai Jing had an appointment with the principal.
The content of the conversation between the two sides was quite similar, that was, the reason why Le Wan’s grades could improve so quickly, was there some kind of secret? Could he share these tips with the other students so that they could improve together?
In the principal’s office, the principal looked at Zhai Jing, as if he was looking at a rare treasure who he had spent so much effort to poach.
As a pragmatic principal, he was very concerned about the students’ results, so he knew the moment Le Wan’s results were out. He had even found out about Zhai Jing’s private tutoring sessions for Le Wan and had even verified it with Zhai Jing in person.
Zhai Jing’s mother was sick and needed money. It was not appropriate for the principal to tell him directly that he could not take on a part-time job. He could only ask him indirectly if spending so much time on other things would affect his studies.
When Zhai Jing promised him that it would not, the principal could only believe him for the time being. Later on, Zhai Jing used his actions to prove that he was not affected. He even helped to improve Le Wan’s grades.
The principal touched his sparse hair and felt a little regretful.
“Why didn’t I think of this before?”
Zhai Jing was so good at his studies. He would definitely have his own learning methods. Why didn’t he think of sharing it with Zhai Jing before? The results were clear now, but there was still about a month before the college entrance examination. It was too late.
After knowing his thoughts, Zhai Jing said,
“Principal, as you know, there are no shortcuts in learning. The reason why Le Wan has made such great progress is mainly that she is very good and very hardworking. I can only play a very limited role in her.”
Looking at his serious face, the principal smiled and said,
“Don’t worry, it’s not my first year as a principal. I’m in charge of the students’ results, so how can’t I understand the truth? I’m not trying to replicate Le Wan’s miracle. I just want to draw something useful from your learning experience. If the students can improve their scores by a little after seeing it, it’ll be an amazing thing.”
As he said this, he slapped his head again. He was vexed as to why he had left such a gold mountain there before but had never thought of digging it up.
The principal could only comfort himself that it was because Zhai Jing was too outstanding. He was much more outstanding than the students that he had recruited in the past. However, he did not acknowledge the gap between them and treated him with his experience.
“So, what do you think of this matter?” Mei Chang asked Zhai Jing.
Zhai Jing thought for a moment and replied,
“During this period, I’ve been learning and improving together with Le Wan. We’ve indeed gained some experience. I’ll discuss it with Le Wan and summarize it. Then, I’ll hand it over to you. If it’s useful, it’ll be our honor to be able to help the students.”
Mei Chang was naturally happy to hear that.
“You and Le Wan are the pride of our Mingcheng high school.”
Seeing that the principal was so happy, Zhai Jing took the opportunity to raise his request.
The principal was surprised.
“You said you want to take the college entrance examination in advance?”
Zhai Jing nodded.
Now that his mother’s condition was gradually stabilizing, he was not short of money for the time being. The cooperation with Dahong Corporation had already begun, so he no longer needed to freeload on Mingcheng high school’s welfare to support himself and his mother.
The other day, when Le Wan asked him about his future plans, he did not think too much about it, so he only said a few words.
However, after Le Wan left, he began to seriously think about his and his mother’s future. He thought about his future, about his future with Le Wan.
With Le Wan’s current situation, it would not be difficult for her to get into the university she was aiming for. However, if he continued to attend the third year of high school, they would have to be separated for more than a year.
Zhai Jing knew very well that Le Wan had feelings for him. From the first time they were discussing compensation in the store, he knew that he was very much to her liking when she looked at him.
The reason why Le Wan had helped him time and time again was because of this. Zhai Jing did not feel unhappy about this. Instead, he was glad that he had something that could attract Le Wan.
