Chapter 32 I have done it with great care.

Chen Xi remembered the words Qiao Weimin said to her over the phone yesterday. She curled her lips dismissively and lowered her voice, "Poor grades." "Students who transfer schools through connections rarely have good grades. Anyway, our class does not take in these kinds of students. It's nearly time for the college entrance examination in senior year, what's the point of transferring in with bad grades, it will only drag down the class average!" The homeroom teacher of Class C deeply agreed, "Exactly." Teachers also have performance assessments, and their year-end bonuses are closely linked to student performance. No one wants to earn less for no reason. Chen Xi quickened her pace, nimbly flipping through a stack of documents to find those of her own students, hugged them in her arms, and told the homeroom teacher of Class C, "I've finished sorting the school start documents, Mr. Liu, carry on at your pace, I'm leaving." Seeing that she was about to leave, the homeroom teacher of Class C paused his work and retained her in surprise, "The new transfer student has arrived, aren't you going to look at her diagnostic test results?" Novel Biquge Chen Xi had promised Qiao Weimin not to let Qiao Nian join their class. To her, Qiao Nian's performance was of little relevance, even though she believed that Qiao Nian could not make it into Class B! "No need, I have to go to the class for a morning meeting to announce some good news." The homeroom teacher of Class C had heard about it and expressed envy, "It's about Qiao Chen from your class being recommended for admission to the People's Art Theatre, right? That's wonderful. The school forum is full of posts about it. In the future, you'll be the homeroom teacher of a big star. Don't forget us colleagues when you rise high!" "Ha ha, I'm off then." ... Next to the sofa, the academic director handed Qiao Nian the diagnostic test papers, along with a pen and some scratch paper, saying, "The principal hasn't come over yet. You take the test here first, and after you're done, I'll grade it. Once the principal arrives, we can decide which class you'll join." "Okay!" Qiao Nian casually took the test paper and glanced over the questions. As she expected, they were all flashy but superficial questions, and her impression of the whole paper could be summed up in two words—boring! Tests were like this, always filled with boring questions that were of no practical use in society. The academic director thought she was stumped by the questions and kindly said, "This set includes math, physics, chemistry, English, and Chinese. You have 90 minutes to answer, don't rush, take your time, getting it right is more important than writing a lot..." Qiao Nian just nodded, a casual flicker in the corner of her eye as if she was listening. She placed the paper down and did not use the pen given by the academic director, but took a different black water-based pen out of her bag. "Then take your time." Seeing that she started to write, the academic director moved on to continue sorting documents with the other teachers. He wasn't worried about Qiao Nian cheating. There were surveillance cameras in the office, and many teachers were present. If the new transfer student really cheated, it would only show that the student had no integrity and was not smart enough! ... Time passed by second by second. Half an hour later. Qiao Nian put down her pen and suddenly spoke up, "Teacher, I'm done." Hearing this, the academic director paused and walked over, "So fast, aren't you going to check your answers?" Qiao Nian capped her pen, her dark and cold eyes void of concern, "No need." "..." He bent down to pick up Qiao Nian's test paper, glanced over it, saw that it was fully completed, and out of his duty as a teacher still couldn't help but say, "Qiao Nian, this determines which class you'll be in, please take it seriously." Qiao Nian's eyes were defiant, "Hmm, I took it very seriously." At least this was the most earnest she had ever been in an examination. Seeing that she indeed had no intention to check her answers again, the academic director sighed and said, "Alright, I will grade it." Other teachers saw that he was going to grade the test paper, and they all gathered around to watch; everyone was curious about the performance of this new transfer student!
