Leaving the classroom, Yang Ting didn't say anything and took Ye Fan to the principal's office.
"You're here, have a seat."
Zhan Chongshan's face was full of enthusiasm as soon as he saw Ye Fan.
Seeing this, Yang Ting felt a pang of jealousy. Was this still the aloof principal she knew?
Ye Fan stood calmly beside Yang Ting, showing no intention of sitting down. He asked, "Principal, did you call me here for something?"
"Yes."
Seeing this, Zhan Chongshan got straight to the point. "You already know about the Tsinghua University preparation class, right?"
"Yes."
Ye Fan nodded. "Teacher Yang told us yesterday."
He wasn't sure what Zhan Chongshan wanted to say, confusion flashing in his eyes.
"The reason I called you here today is to tell you that you don't have to take the monthly exam this time. You can directly enter the Tsinghua University preparation class."
Zhan Chongshan had his own reasons for arranging things this way.
Through the entrance exam and the previous test in Class 2, he had confirmed Ye Fan's level.
A potential top scorer in the college entrance exam!!!
Without exaggerating, as long as Ye Fan maintained his current level, the top scorer position was within his grasp.
Such an outstanding student naturally couldn't be exposed too early.
If Ye Fan performed too well in the monthly exam, it was very likely that the news would reach the ears of that old fellow from Yuqing High School.
After all, there were so many students in Zhenhua High School, that it was impossible to keep it a secret.
There were still more than three months left until the college entrance exam. If that old fellow got any funny ideas, he would have nowhere to cry.
This kind of thing had happened before.
With that lesson learned, he couldn't make the same mistake again!
Hearing this, Ye Fan's expression didn't change at all. He shook his head calmly. "I'm sorry, principal, but I'm afraid I can't accept this proposal."
"Why?"
Zhan Chongshan was a little dumbfounded.
Logically speaking, no one would refuse such a good opportunity.
But Ye Fan just rejected it!
Hmm...
Yang Ting was also surprised. "Ye Fan, this is a good thing! Why are you refusing?"
"Why should I accept?"
Ye Fan chuckled and asked back, "Do you think, principal and teacher, that I can't get into the Tsinghua University preparation class based on my grades?"
"Entering the preparation class without taking the monthly exam would be unfair to the other students, and unfair to me as well."
If he accepted Zhan Chongshan's proposal, almost everyone would think he got in through backdoor connections.
In reality, there was no need for that at all.
With his ability, he could easily get into the top three of the class with his eyes closed.
If he could join the Tsinghua University preparation class openly and fairly, why would he use such underhanded methods?
He wasn't stupid!
Zhan Chongshan hesitated for a moment and explained, "Ye Fan, the reason we're asking you to directly join the Tsinghua University preparation class is not because Teacher Yang and I don't trust your grades. It's precisely because we trust your grades so much that we made this decision."
"Exactly!"
Yang Ting nodded in agreement. "Based on your current performance, you don't need to take the monthly exam at all. All you need to do now is maintain your current level and wait for the college entrance exam."
"I refuse."
After they finished speaking, Ye Fan rejected the proposal again.
Zhan Chongshan and Yang Ting looked at each other, a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
Especially Zhan Chongshan was not only embarrassed but also very depressed.
Last night, he had received calls from many parents, all asking about the spots in the Tsinghua University preparation class.
But no matter what these parents said or what benefits they promised, he rejected them all.
As a result, Ye Fan didn't even want it for free...
"Ahem..."
Just as Zhan Chongshan was about to speak, Ye Fan said, "Principal, just be honest. Are you afraid that I'll score too high and other schools will try to poach me?"
Having lived a previous life, Ye Fan instantly figured out the whole situation.
In his previous life, he had read a lot of similar news.
Poaching students...
Don't think that only universities would poach students?
That was small-minded!
The third year of high school was the craziest time for poaching students. Those who had the potential to be top scorers in the college entrance exam were the most sought-after!
Zhan Chongshan: "..."
Yang Ting: "..."
Their eyes widened, their faces full of surprise.
Seeing their reactions, Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly, his slightly immature face showing a hint of maturity, giving people a very strange feeling.
"I have a suggestion, I wonder if you're interested in hearing it, principal?"
"Go ahead."
Zhan Chongshan was becoming more and more curious about this student.
Ye Fan said casually, "Today is Saturday. If nothing unexpected happens, the monthly exam papers should be ready, right?"
"Yes, go on."
"Since the test papers are already ready, I can take the exam in advance. This way, no matter what score I get, you can announce it accordingly. For example, if my score is 750, you can write it as 720 or 710 on the transcript. My only requirement is that my score is one point higher than the first place."
As for why he wanted to be one point higher than the first place?
It was very simple, Ye Fan just didn't want to lose, that's all.
With a cheat like the system, he couldn't lose no matter what.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the system!
"This method..."
Zhan Chongshan pondered for a moment and slowly nodded. "Alright, but let me make it clear. If your score is not ideal and you can't enter the Tsinghua University preparation class, don't blame me. It's still not too late to change your mind now."
His voice was full of temptation. "Do you want to reconsider?"
Ye Fan didn't say anything and sat down on the sofa. He smiled at Yang Ting and said, "Teacher Yang, you can go get the monthly exam papers now."
Zhan Chongshan: "..."
Alright.
This kid wasn't falling for his tricks.
Yang Ting was speechless. After receiving Zhan Chongshan's call last night, she thought it was just to inform Ye Fan. She didn't expect it to turn into this situation.
She looked at Zhan Chongshan, a questioning look in her eyes.
Zhan Chongshan waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go get the test papers from Director Li."
"Okay, principal."
Yang Ting turned and left the office.
After only a few minutes, she returned to the office, four test papers in her hand.
"Let's begin."
Zhan Chongshan looked at the time. "It's 8:00 a.m. now..."
"Two hours will be enough for me."
Ye Fan's words stopped Zhan Chongshan mid-sentence.
He remembered the situation during the entrance exam. It seemed like it wasn't impossible...
"Rustle..."
Ye Fan picked up the neutral pen from the coffee table, casually picked up the topmost test paper, and started working on it.
He wrote with lightning speed!
Yang Ting stood beside the sofa, watching this scene in a daze.
He was doing it again...
Read the questions, read the questions!!!
How could he answer the questions without reading them?
But...
Ye Fan wasn't reading the questions at all. As soon as he finished writing the answer to one question, he immediately started answering the next, without any pause in between.
It was the same as the situation outside the classroom the day before yesterday.
She had only seen this way of answering questions from Ye Fan.
It was too unscientific!
Zhan Chongshan wasn't much better. During the entrance exam, he hadn't watched Ye Fan answer the questions personally. Now, seeing Ye Fan's unreasonable way of answering questions, his expression was priceless.
That's right, unreasonable!
Who answers questions like that...
Yang Ting didn't have any classes in the morning, so she decided to stay.
She tiptoed to the single sofa next to her and sat down, her eyes fixed on Ye Fan.
Today, she wanted to see what kind of score Ye Fan could get!
750 points?
Heh—
With this way of answering questions, if he could even get 500 points, she would eat the table... well, she wouldn't make a vow yet.
This student was a little... a little strange...
