Sheng Yang didn’t deny her words. “But if having high EQ means bottling things up and saying things that don’t come from the heart, I really can’t learn that.”

The female teacher’s lips curved. “I understand.”

She held out her hand. “I’m a teacher in Class 12 (3). My name is Tong Xieyi.”

The director passed by the office window and saw the two of them shake hands. He couldn’t help but sigh. This was really a historic meeting.

A month later, only one of them could go to the research institute, but they didn’t know that they were each other’s competitors.

After Sheng Yang finished her class, Lan Yu chased after her. “Miss Sheng, don’t take their words to heart!”

Sheng Yang looked at him with amusement. “Do I look like that kind of person?”

“That’s true.” Lan Yu smiled brightly. “Teacher Sheng, I really hope you can stay here and teach us. I feel that I’ve improved a lot in just the few days you’ve been teaching us.”

A glint flashed across Sheng Yang’s eyes. In the past, she didn’t understand why Ms. Chen was so satisfied when she saw the students’ results. Now, she understood.

However, teaching was really not her interest. She would have to go to the research institute sooner or later.

“Some people should be more self-aware. Otherwise, they’ll end up currying favor from the wrong person.” Ding Xing swayed his body and swaggered out. “Don’t end up like your useless brother!”

Swoosh! Sheng Yang only saw a shadow flash before her eyes. Then, with a thud, Ding Xing fell to the ground. Before he could react, he was punched twice in the face.

Before Ding Xing could vomit blood, he was still cursing.

Lan Yu was still sitting on him, beating him up without saying a word.

Sheng Yang just watched. She had always thought that Lan Yu was very passive toward Ding Xing. Even though he was scheming, he had never been ruthless. This time, he was really triggered.

It seemed that his brother was Lan Yu’s weakness.

The school didn’t care about what happened to Lan Yu and Ding Xing, nor did they cause trouble for Sheng Yang.

It was Ding Xing’s fault for being inferior to Lan Yu in terms of martial strength. Moreover, he was the one who insulted Lan Yu’s brother first. They couldn’t do anything about it.

Two days later, during the school examination, Ding Xing was unhappy that Sheng Yang had just watched on when he fought with Lan Yu the other day, so he answered one of the questions as he pleased.

He had to show his exam results when he got home. If he did badly, he would not be able to enjoy a good meal.

However, Miss Sheng was new here. If her students did not do well, she would not be able to report back.

Ding Xing had no choice but to use this method.

Lanca Academy held many exams. There were 10 exams at a time, so it was fine if students did badly in one.

After a day of exams, the results came out the next day.

Before Ding Xing arrived at the classroom, he saw everyone surrounding the bulletin board from afar. He was very disdainful, but he couldn’t help but ask, “Which class is first this time?”

“Class 12 (8).”

He was a little disappointed to hear that it wasn’t his class.

Usually, their class would be in the last three rankings. However, after asking one question after another, Ding Xing muttered, “How could our class not be in the last three?”

A guy glanced at him. “What’s wrong with you? What kind of person would want their class to be last?”

Ding Xing glared at him and pushed through the crowd—
